Chapter 3126 Warmth
Bringing a little follower was to help him block the enthusiastic people. As a result, the little follower turned into a little helper to help collect gifts. Le Yun felt numb all over!
There is no solution to this game!
Anyway, she could not refuse the hospitable Ningcheng people, so she was forced to accept the reality.
Having a little secretary who takes the initiative to help receive gifts is also beneficial, that is, the moving speed is much faster!
After moving a few hundred meters, we arrived at a stall selling food.
The space in the square is limited, and there are too many people coming to set up stalls. The area of each stall is also extremely limited. Generally, one person sits with the width of two baskets in front of him.
At most, two people sit side by side, guarding a stall.
People who sell rice and grain put a small wooden board in front of them and put a few grains in small bags as samples. If anyone wants to buy grain, they will take it out from the storage bag.
It is well known that Ning County is rich, but how rich is it?
The people of Ning County have storage bags in every household!
The people of Ning County have an average of two storage bags per household. Richer families even have three or five. Even the poorest family has at least one storage bag.
Common people do not have such things as spiritual consciousness. The storage containers in common people's homes are storage bags that can be used by mortals. When using them, you only need to open the bag to access items.
Common people’s storage bags are mainly used to hold grain. One bag holds stored grain, and the other bag holds new grain produced that year.
If the storage bag is larger, it can also free up space to hold some fresh fruits, vegetables and other items. If the storage bag is smaller, it will naturally be mainly used for holding food.
In order to prolong the use period of storage bags, the bags are generally not used frequently. A warehouse is built to store the grain for several months, and then take some after eating. Except for the harvest season, it is generally used throughout the year. Open the bag two or three times.
Storage bags are not permanent items, and most of them have a useful life. Compared to ordinary people, the price of storage bags is very high. Therefore, ordinary people have accumulated spiritual stones from generation to generation. , just to replace the storage devices at home with new ones when they reach their expiration date.
Storage units are family heirlooms. If a family needs money and has to sell off storage units, they will sell at most one, but they will keep one anyway.
Ning County also has laws to protect people’s storage bags. It clearly stipulates that anyone who robs or steals storage containers from other homes will be executed after verification. It is also punished with consecutive crimes, and the family’s property will also be confiscated. Punished as a sin slave.
A guilty slave must serve five generations of hard labor. If he no longer makes any mistakes, he willAfter taking off their status as sin slaves, they must undergo a hundred-year observation period before they can regain their household registration.
Because the punishment for stealing and grabbing storage bags is too severe, people have taught their children from childhood to never steal storage bags, so few people dare to take risks. People in Ning County The safety of the storage bag is also guaranteed.
Every household in Ning County has storage bags. The three counties of Ping'an and An'an are also wealthy, but not as wealthy as Ning County. Every household has storage bags, but the average number of storage bags per household is not as many as in Ning County.
Every commoner in Ning County has a storage bag, but the people in the imperial city have not yet found that every household has a storage device. This has attracted the jealousy and dissatisfaction of King Xin and many courtiers.
There are hundreds of millions of household registrations in a county, where do so many storage bags come from?
Part of the storage bags are made by a craftsman from Ning County and then handed over to the government for sale. The other part is purchased by the county governor at the Monk City on a regular basis.
Ning County Sheriff’s Office, district offices, prefectures, and county offices all have a certain amount of storage bags. People can buy them if they need them. People in small places such as cities or towns need to buy new ones. Storage bags need to be registered with the town government or the city lord's office, and the city lord or town chief must apply for them.
The government agencies have strict management of storage bags, and there is also a strict set of procedures for buying and selling bags to ensure that the bags are not embezzled or used privately by some people in the government agencies.
Le Yun also learned about Ningjun’s laws when she entered the city, and she sincerely admired the majesty and rigor of Ningjun’s laws. That law is perfect even in a technological society.
Ning County has a complete set of laws. What is even more valuable is that Ning County officials strictly abide by the law and enforce the law strictly, maintaining the majesty of the law and realizing the rule of law in the county and the rule of the city.
The laws of Ning County protect the common people who are regarded as ants by the powerful to the greatest extent.
There is another reason why Ningjun’s laws are respected and maintained in Ningjun—it is a law formulated by an immortal.
As Le Yun was also born as an ant, she suspected that the pioneers who formulated the laws of Ning County were also immortals who gradually grew up from common people to monks.
Also thanks to that figure, Ning County became a prosperous place and the hometown of rice grains, so she had the opportunity to purchase massive amounts of rice grains.
Finally moved to the stall selling grain, Le Yun smiled and asked the buyer who had already stood up: "Do you still have grain in hand? How much is it?"
The seller’s face flushed with excitement, and he responded repeatedly: “Yes, yes, yes. The people still have a lot of food in their hands.”
As he spoke, he held out a few Put the storage bag on a small plate, hold it with hands that were shaking with excitement and show it to the fairy, while explaining: "Counting from your right hand to the left, the first bag is grain, the second is wheat, and the third is wheat. One is broomcorn millet, and the fourth is miscellaneous grains."
"Where's the fifth one?"
"This one is the new food that the little people give to the fairies to taste." The seller grinned and gave the fifth storage bag to Shang Zhenjun: "Zhenjun, this is a gift from the common people to the fairy. Please help me move it." , it’s fair to say, but it’s not possible to put it in a storage bag.”
“Fairy, there’s not much, just a small portion of each kind of food, and some seasonal vegetables and fresh fruits, all from our Lingcheng. Locally produced, because it is too complicated, it is stored in a small bag."
The seller hurriedly explained, Shang Miaoyin took the storage bag, checked it, and testified: "Fairy, this The father is very honest, and the small storage bag contains one bag of each type of locally produced grain, as well as more than a dozen kinds of seasonal vegetables and fresh fruits."
With Shang Zhenjun's confirmation, the seller was relieved tone.
The amount of the gift was within the allowable range, Le Yun did not refuse: "You can keep it for me. During these days in Ningcheng, many elders have sent me a large amount of rice, grains and vegetables. Fresh fruits cost everyone money."
"The fairy upholds justice for Ningjun and pulls Ningjun out of the dire straits. The people of Ningjun are impressed by the fairy. The fairy does not need to mess up the people of Ningjun. In return, the only things that the common people can offer are some local products. The fairies do not despise ordinary rice and shabby life, which is a blessing for the common people."
The common people only hate people like ants and cannot do anything for the fairy."
"The fairy's kindness to Ningjun is unforgettable for the common people."
"..." The people chattered and put their belongings into the basket in Lord Shang Zhenjun's hand.
Since all living beings are sincere, Le Yun is no longer polite. Otherwise, in order to persuade her, the people would enumerate her good qualities, making her herself feel embarrassed.
She negotiated the deal directly with the grain owner, asked the weight of each grain, took out two Yunlan-style abacus and placed them in the air to calculate the accounts.
The Chinese abacus is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancestors, and Yunlan also has an abacus for calculation.
Yunlan's abacus is slightly different from the Chinese abacus. There are ten beads under the beam, one bead equals one, and there are two beads above it, one bead equals three.
The beads on a straight column add up to sixteen, which is consistent with Yun Lan’s figure of sixteen taels per catty.
Except for the number of beads in Yunlan’s abacus, which is different from the number of beads in the abacus of the Earth China, the calculation method is similar, both are decimal.
Two abacus are in the sky. The abacus on the left calculates the sum of the value of various grains, which is addition and subtraction. The abacus on the right calculates the weight of grain.Multiply the quantity by the unit price, specializing in multiplication operations.
The seller and the men, women and children beside him excitedly watched the fairy settle accounts. The fairy’s fingers were flying, and they could only hear the crisp sounds of beads clattering together like raindrops.
The people who also brought an abacus to calculate also held the abacus to help calculate the accounts. They just started to calculate. The fairy had already done the calculation and reported the number.
When someone calculated how many spiritual stones the first grain reported by the grain owner was worth, he found that the calculation was exactly the same as that of the fairy. He suddenly felt that he was also a genius in accounting, and he was very proud of it.
After she calculated the total price herself, Leyun asked the seller to do the calculation herself to see if it was correct.
The seller is not willing to do the math anymore and asks the fairy to move the rice. He may doubt his arithmetic ability, but he will never doubt the fairy's math. If even the fairy cannot be trusted, how can there be anything in this world? People of faith.
Le Yun took the storage bag and transferred the grains one by one into her own storage container. She then transferred the medium-grade spiritual stones and some low-grade spiritual stones and placed them in the seller's storage bag to return to him. Let him take stock.
The seller took back his storage bag and saw that the fairy gave him some medium-grade spiritual stones. He was so excited that he thanked him: "Thank you, fairy, for caring about the people!"
After thanking him, Looking at the fairy with burning eyes, he asked sincerely: "Fairy, will you spend the New Year in Ningcheng this year?"
"Yes, I and my friends will celebrate the New Year in Ningcheng this year. Listen. It is said that Ning County has a delicacy called clay urn braised lamb, and every household must have it for New Year’s Eve dinner. I am waiting to taste the delicacy.” Le Yun nodded with a smile. The magic circle for Ning County’s luck has not yet been implemented, so she and the handsome guy will naturally do it this year. Celebrate the New Year in Ning County.
Ningjun’s clay urn stewed lamb is similar to Xuan Shao and others’ favorite stone pot/stone vat stewed lamb. It also puts the processed whole lamb and seasonings into the urn or vat. , do not add water, seal and simmer dry.
Ning County’s clay urn braised lamb is very particular about the convenience of selecting the main ingredients. Lambs aged three to five years are preferred. It is said that mutton of this age has the best taste when stewed in a clay urn.
"Wow, the fairy is really celebrating the New Year in Ningcheng!"
When the people heard that the fairy said that she would celebrate the New Year in Ningcheng, they were so excited that they shouted happily. , deliver the good news.
People who were far away also cheered when they heard the news.
They walked around the square every day, just waiting for news. Someone in the county governor's house and the monk family said that the fairy should celebrate the New Year in Ningcheng, but the county prince didn't say it himself, so they were doubtful.
Now that a fairy has personally confirmed that she will celebrate the New Year in Ningcheng, Renjun is so excited that she can’t wait to run around to tell the news and spread the good news to her neighbors.
Le Yun also understandsThe reason why the people are happy is that with her in Ning County, no matter whether it is a sinister villain or a scheming person, they dare not approach Ning County, the people feel at ease, and everyone is naturally happy.
While the crowd was so happy that they ignored her for the time being, they quickly turned to the next target.
Shang Miaoyin also returned the seller's small storage bag, and then slowly followed the fairy, helping to collect various items given to the fairy by the people of Ningcheng.
There are many shopkeepers who specially rush to the square to sell food, but actually just for the chance to see the true face of the guardian of the sacred tree. Leyun follows the "small alleys" with human walls on both sides and passages in the middle. Wandering around, specializing in washing rice and grain.
This time it took longer than last time. I walked from the morning until the end of the afternoon and walked around the entire square. It was basically equivalent to a whole day of shopping.
Shang Miaoyin, who was following the fairy, received gifts that made everyone feel numb.
This is also the first time she has truly experienced how enthusiastic the people of Ningcheng are. She wants to ask the people how much they respect the fairy and see the gifts!
The common people wanted to give the fairy everything they wanted, no matter whether they could eat it or not, they would give it all to her.
The shops around the square knew that she was following the fairy, and the shops selling cloth, pots and bowls secretly moved pieces of cloth and baskets of pots and bowls to her.
Several heads of households also brought jars of pickles and homemade sauces and vinegar. Someone specially slaughtered a sheep or a bird, put it in a basket and took it outside the square, and then quietly pulled her over to receive it. .
If she didn’t help with the reception, people would be so anxious that they would say, “You’re partial” and “Don’t you dislike our feelings?” Some were even so anxious that they shed tears, and she couldn’t resist even if she was forced to do so. Resist the pressure.
Can she not help receive it?
This is definitely not possible.
After Shang Miaoyin declined several times, she refused at all. No matter what it was, she would accept it. After all, gifts were given to fairies, and she was just an errand boy. Whatever the people said was accepted.
At the end of the day, she didn’t know how much rice the fairy had bought in total, but she knew that the gifts she helped to receive filled three small storage bags thirty feet wide.
When he finally entered the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion, Shang Miaoyin felt that his hands and feet were his own, and he hurriedly showed the gift he had received to the fairy.
Le Yun took the storage bag and took a look, OMG, why are there so many things?
There are a lot of gifts, a dazzling array of things are nothing, there are all kinds of weird things, in response to the phrase "everything is available".
Especially when she saw several large bundles of firewood and several baskets of charcoal, Le Yun herself fell into a confused silence. The people of Ningcheng were really too...too considerate, weren't they?
Look, some people send poultry, eggs, mutton, fish, seasonal vegetables and other ingredients, some people send oil, vinegar, sauce, some people send pots and pans, and now we even have firewood, so all the cooking utensils and ingredients are available. Got it!
The gift was so joyful that Le Yun smiled so hard that her eyebrows were as crescent-shaped: "Oh, the people in Ningcheng are so considerate as hair, they didn't even leave behind the firewood for cooking, so considerate! These gifts make me feel the warmth of the world."
"The elders of Ning County are extremely honored to be liked by the fairy." The fairy did not dislike the strange gifts, and Shang Miaoyin also laughed from his heart. .
A wise man sees wisdom, a benevolent man sees kindness. Even she didn’t know what to say after seeing the gifts given by the people of Ningcheng. The fairy actually saw the bright spots in them, which shows how kind and pure the fairy’s heart is.
"You have worked hard today, please have a piece of fruit." Le Yun took out two bright yellow winter pears from the storage bag, stuffed one into Shang Zhenjun, and ate one herself. The storage bag was put away.
When Shang Miaoyin picked up the winter pears, he also followed the example of Fairy, not peeling them, but just rubbing them and then chewing them.
