Chapter 893: A Super Qualified Scapegoat
So the next morning, Lin Yutang and Lin Zhi took some gifts and went to the government office to find County Magistrate Zhou.
When the officers standing guard at the door saw that the two Miss Lin came on their own, they guessed that it was probably a private matter, so they directly welcomed them to the backyard of the county government office.
"Uncle Zhou, I have something to ask you today."
Lin Yutang smiled and went straight to the point.
"You two kids, you're here now, why are you bringing any gifts?"
County Magistrate Zhou said this, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Over such a long time, the relationship between my family and these two girls has become better and better, especially that little brat Zhou Qi, who always wants to play with Lin Zhi and Lin Yutang every day.
After all, he also knew that by playing with the two beautiful aunts, he could not only eat all kinds of delicious food, but also play with all kinds of new toys, many of which were not available in the store!
But, let alone little Zhou Qi, County Magistrate Zhou and his men were also happy to get along with the Linzhi sisters.
These two children are obedient and sensible, ahem, and I often give them some very beautiful and practical things.
"Uncle Zhou, please don't be so polite to us. Auntie sent us some specialties from Lu County a few days ago. They are even more precious. If it weren't for Auntie, we wouldn't be able to eat them."
County Magistrate Zhou's wife, Liu, is from Lu County. A few days ago, someone from her family came to visit and brought a lot of local specialties. Liu specially brought some to their store. This thoughtfulness is even more precious.
"Okay, okay, I won't be polite with you. Tomorrow night we'll take Qiqi to your barbecue restaurant for a barbecue. If you two have time, come together. Qiqi keeps talking about you two."
County Magistrate Zhou laughed heartily and invited the two men to sit down. The servant next to him immediately came forward to pour a glass of water for the three of them and then stepped aside.
"Tell me, what are you doing here this time?"
County Magistrate Zhou returned to the topic. Today was not a good day to chat. The two girls had just arrived and said they had something to talk to him about, so he couldn't delay them.
Lin Zhi and Lin Yutang discussed the plan for the vegetable market, and County Magistrate Zhou stroked his beard and fell into deep thought.
He had never thought of setting up a special place to sell vegetables.
It's not just him who hasn't thought about it, but probably no county magistrate in history has ever thought about it.
Maybe it’s because since ancient times, the scenes everyone has seen have been like this, and the vendors set up their stalls on the roadside, which makes it feel quite lively.
But think about it, the hustle and bustle means that it is sometimes inconvenient to pass by, especially during the morning rush hour, and you can forget about riding in a horse-drawn carriage.
During the years he was in office, he had to deal with stampedes on Caishi Street several times.
As Lin Yutang and the others mentioned, there are vendors selling meat, fish and shrimp. After they finish setting up their stalls, the smell on the street lingers for a long time, which really affects the appearance of the town.
The smell is especially unbearable in the summer, and even the vendors washing it off every day after closing their stalls doesn't help much.
The most important thing is that sometimes the fruits I want to eat are on East Street, the vegetables I want to buy are on West Street, the pork shop I often go to is on South Street, and the seasonings I want to buy are on North Street.
It would take me half a day to buy all of them.
There's no way. Since these foods that I'm used to eating are not together, I have to take a detour.
However, with the vegetable market mentioned by the Lin Yutang sisters, all the above problems can be perfectly solved!
"I'll write a memorial later to let the higher-ups know about this and ask them to allocate funds to build the venue."
County Magistrate Zhou had a plan in mind, but building a venue was a huge project, and it was not something he had the power to do directly.
And if this is built, wouldn’t it be like a small shop that can shelter vegetable vendors from wind and rain?
The price will definitely not be as high as that of the shop, but it will definitely be more expensive than the previous stall fee. This money will have to be paid in the end. After all, it is equivalent to the help of the higher-ups in building it.
"Okay! Then I'll wait for Uncle Zhou's good news. But when the time comes, please leave me a few more slots, hehe."
Lin Yutang talked about the most important point of today. She was thinking about selling some fruits and vegetables that were not available in this era in the future.
Anyway, they only take that much every day, which gives people the illusion that the exotic fruits and vegetables they sell are shipped from other places every day by Mingyuelou, and they close the shop after they sell out.
Anyway, no one would think of asking where Mingyue Tower came from, hehe.
Mingyuelou, a super qualified scapegoat~
