Chapter 366 Middle 2 Village
Chapter 366 Middle 2 Village
"County pig cool, county pig cool, I dreamed of you several times, and every time, you were wearing clothes like flowers, so beautiful."
At this time, a little boy who couldn't speak clearly cut in line and ran ahead of the little girl.
She looked at Mingyue with a pious face and gave her a freshly woven wreath.
Mingyue was amused by him, "Okay, okay, I am a fairy wearing flowery clothes."
"Yeah." The child ran happily into his mother's arms, too shy to look up. The fairy sister smiled at me, hehe.
The children expressed their joy and gratitude to Mingyue one by one, and even shared their expectations for the future with Mingyue.
"In the future, I want to be like the princess and help many people in need."
"I want to be like the princess's father," the little boy said while panting and throwing a series of random punches, "to defend the country, defend the people, and protect the princess..." He said the last sentence softly.
"I want to stay in the village and make it a great place so that the princess can feel at home every day!"
This made everyone laugh. They used the words even though they didn't understand them at all.
Mingyue is reluctant to leave such a vibrant village.
It just so happens that everyone is here and the tables have been cleared.
Mingyue held onto her second brother's shoulders and climbed onto the table.
The little person, standing on the big round table, looks so cute no matter how you look at him.
But in the eyes of the villagers under the moon, the bright moon was like a fairy sitting in a lotus pond under the sunlight, and they knelt down unconsciously.
Even the friends who were traveling with me felt like touching the ground with their knees.
Minghao looked at the people kneeling down and suddenly had a feeling that "this is how it should be."
An image flashed through my mind for a moment: a fairy wearing the most beautiful flowers in the world, standing on the sacred steps, with a group of believers worshipping her below.
My heart ached violently...
"Get up, get up! I want to get down to business."
Everyone stood up, as if waking up from a dream.
"It's the season for fruits and vegetables to ripen. I have some suggestions for dealing with the surplus fruit in our village. What do you think?"
"it is good!"
"Whatever the princess says is fine."
"That's right, it's up to you to decide. We'll all listen to you."
"Just say it."
Everyone fell silent again, waiting for Mingyue to speak.
"First, I think we can set aside some pears to make autumn pear paste that clears heat and quenches thirst, and then supply it to the People's Pharmacy."
"Secondly, some fruits, such as apples, can be dried into apple jerky; persimmons can be made into dried persimmon cakes, etc."
"Thirdly, hey, we can invite the people to come to our village to pick fruit. Each person can pay for a basket of fruit and take it away, but they can eat as much as they want in the garden. How about that?"
But no one responded to her.
She thought everyone disagreed with her idea, but unexpectedly, there was just some "delay".
"it is good!"
"The princess is so wise!"
"This way, there will be no waste and it will also increase income for the village!"
"Oh my god, the princess is so smart."
Mingyue felt a little embarrassed by the praise, and even Lin Siyu said that her ideas for making money were amazing.
But Mingyue still needs to tell you some things in advance.
"When the time comes, whether it's the autumn pear paste that's sold or people coming to pick the fruit, 30% of the profit will go to me, 20% will go to the village, and the remaining 50% will be kept for you!"
"No!"
"No, Princess, how can we take your money for nothing?"
"Yeah, how could we do such a thing?"
The villagers totally don’t understand why someone doesn’t exploit their labor and instead gives them money.
"Fellow villagers, do these fruits grow on their own in the fields?"
"Did you hoe those fields yourself?"
"Did the fruit delivered to my house also come here on its own legs?"
"No, it's all because of your hard work." Mingyue stood on the table, and every word she said struck the hearts of the villagers.
There are actually people who really understand their hard work and treat them as human beings!
Those present were either farmers fleeing famine, or old and frail slaves driven out by their masters, or people with disabilities who had no place to work.
With tears in their eyes, they looked eagerly at the little girl standing on the table, who was not even as tall as some of them.
She was obviously a high and mighty princess, but she did not look down on poor people like them at all.
Seeing they were silent, Mingyue continued, "Don't you all want to have a good New Year? Don't you want to have hope for the future?"
"It is always necessary to have some money in hand."
They looked at each other, tears streaming down their faces, and finally knelt down, "Thank you, Princess. Thank you, Princess."
Then, Mingyue began to arrange what work each of them would do.
Some of the women followed Yan Shuran to learn how to make autumn pear paste, and then they could direct and supervise the young and strong men to do the work.
The younger and literate children were taken by Lin Siyu to be taught how to keep accounts, how to record the sources and destinations of the fruits, and how to record the people who came and went to pick the fruits.
Liu Guiren selected a group of handsome young men and women who were good at speaking, and taught them how to guide guests, how to deal with guests' tricky behaviors, etc.
Mingyue sat leisurely under the shade of the tree at Aunt Cao's door, watching the busy people, and felt that her day was very fulfilling.
It’s better to be busy. It’s better to be busy.
Maybe everyone trusted Mingyue too much and didn't doubt at all whether someone would come specifically to pick the fruit.
Before leaving, Mingyue took a group of strong young men with him. Before they left, they looked at their elders with pride, as if they were going to the battlefield and sacrifice heroically.
"Child, follow the princess and work hard! Mother is proud of you!"
"Don't be afraid of hardship or tiredness, just do whatever the princess says~"
"The princess's affairs are of paramount importance. You must obey!"
Their families hugged them and gave them firm instructions, but they were not worried about their safety.
"Tsk tsk tsk," Mingyue shook her head and couldn't help but sigh. Everyone in this village is a little bit immature. They will be sent back soon. What's so great about "parting life and death"?
