Chapter 1170 Knowing What Everyone Needs
Zhou Guo looked at the village chief's little grandchildren, who were standing aside with their eyes fixed on the dining table, their saliva dripping from their mouths.
The village chief frowned, and his daughter-in-law hurried over to take the two children away.
The two children cried loudly and lay on the ground refusing to move.
Zhou Guo sighed, took two cakes and two pieces of braised meat, gave a cake and a piece of meat to each person, and said, "Take it and eat it."
The two children picked it up and stuffed it into their mouths, tearing the pieces of meat viciously and wolfing it down.
The village chief's evil daughter-in-law looked at her gratefully and went downstairs with the child in her arms.
The two pieces of meat were large enough to feed the kids for several meals.
The village chief said, "Excuse me, sir. I didn't take good care of the children!"
Zhou Guo said: "What are you saying, village chief? This is human nature. Not to mention the children, even adults can't control their hunger. When you are hungry, you have to eat. It's natural."
She had been hungry many times. When she was hungry, her eyes would light up when she saw food. Let alone the meat and bread, even if a wild boar ran past her, in her eyes, it was already cooked meat on the table, smelling delicious.
Don’t people live by eating?
The village chief looked at Zhou Guo and said sincerely: "Sir, I am an old man with little experience. I have never seen many important people in my life. I have rarely seen constables, but I have never seen an official like you who cares about the people and knows what we ordinary people lack and need. Sir, you are a good official!"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Village Chief, I am also an ordinary citizen. I have also been hungry, so I naturally know what we need. Don't worry, General Xu will not abandon any of the people, and neither will I."
The village chief's eyes were red. "Come, eat. There is nothing to eat at home. I am still relying on the adults for this meal. I didn't expect that you would have to bring your own food when you came to the village."
Zhou Guo started eating by herself. She was already hungry, and it was no use talking so much before the meal.
Since they were the dry food and braised meat that she had brought with her, she didn't hesitate to eat more than a dozen pancakes, five or six pieces of braised meat, and a bowl of porridge from the village chief's house. After her stomach was full, her mood became brighter.
Little did he know that the village chief beside him was stunned. He watched the several large bowls of food in front of Zhou Guo gradually become smaller and went into her stomach bit by bit. Even his own children didn't eat so much when they had their meals.
Sure enough, this capable big shot is superior in every way and even eats more than others.
He couldn't help but look at Zhou Guo's belly.
Zhou Guo looked at him and asked, "Village Chief, where do the seeds for our village come from?"
"Ah?" The village chief looked up and saw her looking at him seriously. He immediately responded, "Oh, sir, all the seeds are kept by us. We keep seeds for grains, fruits and vegetables every year. The seeds sold in the grain shops outside are too expensive. We can't afford them."
He would not buy it even if he could afford it. He thought the grain seeds in his village were very good. He could harvest so much grain every year from his fertile land. He was afraid that grain seeds from outside would not produce such a good yield.
Zhou Guo asked carefully: "Take your family for example, how many acres of land do you have, and how much grain can you harvest from each piece of land every year?"
The village chief answered them one by one.
Then she asked about fertilizer, where it came from, how strong it was, and how much it could help increase grain production...
Seeing that she asked so carefully, the village chief had to cheer up and respond. However, he didn't really understand many of the things and could only give a rough estimate.
My admiration for Zhou Guo increased even more. I didn't expect that Zhou Guo, who looked delicate and noble, could know so many things about the land?
Many young people in the village still don’t know about the fat thing, and even these old guys don’t know as much as she does.
As the conversation progressed, beads of sweat appeared on the village chief's forehead. He found that he had no answers to many of the questions Zhou Guo asked and had never heard of them before.
He has been farming all his life. His farming skills are not the best in the village, but they are among the best. He has been proud of himself all his life, but how come he is not as good as this kid when he is old, and this kid is from a rich family.
I guess he has never touched a hoe in his life, and he was defeated by this one.
The village chief couldn't figure it out and felt really bad.
Zhou Guo asked in detail, and Dashu and Xiaoshu beside him were not idle either, writing non-stop with their hands, picking out the important ones to write down. It was enough for two people to write down.
Zhou Guo asked a lot of questions. She didn't know how long it had been. She thought for a while and it seemed that there was nothing else to ask. She said contentedly, "Okay, it's late, let's all go to rest."
The village chief wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with relief: "Okay, okay, the room has been cleaned up for you, just go to sleep."
Zhou Guo nodded, stood up and left.
Dashu and Xiaoshu followed behind them. They had to put away the recorded books and fetch water for Zhou Guo to wash up. Although they were at someone else's house, Zhou Guo still had to wash up before going to bed.
Moreover, after walking such a long distance on the mountain road today, I can just soak my feet and relax.
The detectives also went downstairs to sleep. They didn't care about anything and just slept in one room, squeezed together. It was warmer in the winter.
The personal soldiers followed Zhou Guo.
In a flash, the house that was just full was instantly left with only the village chief.
He was also amazed at Zhou Guo's pomp and circumstance, and secretly said, "I don't know what his identity is. Wherever he goes, there are so many people following him. They follow him everywhere."
The room that the village chief vacated for her was naturally the best one. There was a box in the room and the bedding on the bed was also new.
Dashu handed her the booklet and said, "Master, take a look."
The personal guard went to get some hot water.
Zhou Guo looked at the crowd standing in front of him and waved his hand, saying, "Go down and sleep. After walking on the mountain road for a whole day, even a cow would be tired. Go down and rest. I don't need you to serve me here."
One of the soldiers said, "Sir, let's stay outside the house. I heard that wolves come down from the mountains at night."
Zhou Guo said, "No need. The villagers are not afraid. There is no reason for me to be afraid. Let's all go down."
"Yes."
She said to Dashu and Xiaoshu, "You two should go down too."
Dashu said, "I'll wait until you fall asleep."
Zhou Guo ignored him and continued to read the booklet while soaking his feet.
In fact, there wasn't much. She just said it herself, so she naturally remembered it all.
All the important contents were recorded in the booklet. She looked at Dashu and smiled, "Not bad, you have made great progress."
Dashu said: "It's all because of the master's good teaching, so naturally he has made great progress."
In the past, when they memorized things, they would remember everything, even her sneezes, and they couldn't find the key points. Now it is much better.
Zhou Guo said: "Well, did I teach you how to flatter people?"
The flattery became louder and louder.
