Chapter 573 Silver Bamboo Village
After thinking for a long time, Qian Qian asked Hadir to land the airship in the deep mountains near Jiangling City.
This time, in addition to Nazhadir and others, there were also more than a dozen secret guards accompanying them.
Everyone changed into light clothes, took some necessities and got off the airship.
Qian Qian asked them to be alert around, while he put the airship into space.
Then, everyone supported each other and went down the mountain to the village at the foot of the mountain.
System introduction, [Qianqian, this village is called Yinzhu Village. ]
[It is a small village outside Jiangling City. The people in this village are very smart and good at doing business. ]
Qian Qian nodded, watched his feet and said nothing.
It was raining in Yinzhu Village, and the ground was slippery and muddy. Everyone supported each other and walked carefully.
Finally reaching the flat area at the foot of the mountain, Qian Qian wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I am getting old after all."
“It’s a bit hard to go down the mountain.”
Ah Ying pouted, "If you hadn't said that we were not allowed to use Qinggong for fear of scaring the villagers, we would have come down long ago."
She looked down at her deerskin boots covered in mud and said, "What a waste of a pair of good boots."
Qian Qian rolled his eyes at her and said, "What a promising young man." He took out a pair of new boots from behind his backpack and said, "Here, put them on."
Ah Ying was delighted and took it quickly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Qian Qian rolled her eyes at her again, and Ah Ying immediately changed her words, "Madam, Madam."
"What about mine?"
Haldir came over pitifully.
Qian Qian had no choice but to give everyone present a pair of new boots and an oil-paper umbrella, since she had plenty of supplies in her space.
Everyone changed their shoes and walked leisurely to the village along the cement road.
“This road is not bad.”
Ji Wuyou looked around and praised sincerely.
A secret guard said, "When the weather is good in Yinzhu Village, we often invite guests from the city to come and enjoy the rural scenery."
“It is said that business is pretty good.”
"Oh?" Lu Yu was surprised, "These villagers are quite thoughtful."
"Yes," said another secret guard, "I heard that many young talents like to hold poetry gatherings here, and even some young ladies from wealthy families like to hold various banquets here."
"To put it bluntly, it's a blind date party."
Haldir took a deep breath and said, "I have to say, the air here smells pretty good."
Qian Qian looked down at the roadside and said, "It's the smell of the wild flowers on the roadside. Yinzhu Village is quite creative."
“This is a flower path.”
Everyone looked at the road leading to the village in front of them. Various wild flowers were planted on both sides of the road, which looked beautiful and smelled good.
The cement road was wide and straight, and eight horse-drawn carriages could easily run side by side on it.
The most rare thing is that there are sidewalks on both sides of the road.
The sidewalk, which could accommodate four people side by side, was carved with various patterns, including flowers, birds, fish and insects.
The pattern is slightly raised to prevent slipping on rainy days, making it ideal for walking.
Unconsciously, they slowed down their pace and walked slowly, holding oil-paper umbrellas and wearing dry leather boots.
The road beneath my feet was comfortable, and the drizzle above my head hitting the oil-paper umbrella made a rustling sound that was very strange.
The south of the Yangtze River in the rain and fog has a unique scenery that is so quiet that makes people feel at ease.
Unconsciously, my pace became slower and slower.
No one among the nearly twenty people spoke, and everyone was enjoying the tranquility in the rain.
But there are people who can't bear to see them being comfortable, and the sound of footsteps breaks this rare tranquility.
"Hey, welcome guests from afar."
It was a sharp but friendly voice of an aunt, accompanied by a round smiling face.
Qian Qian looked up and saw a dozen or so middle-aged women carrying bamboo baskets rushing towards them.
Money money...
The secret guards...
He took a few quick steps to stand in front of His Majesty, and when he saw clearly what was in the bamboo baskets in the aunties' hands, his face was filled with indescribable expressions.
Ji Wuyou was so surprised, "Oh my God, are those all local specialties?"
"Bamboo shoots, bamboo toys, and dried fruits and vegetables. Oh, is that a handkerchief you embroidered yourself?"
There were tall and imposing secret guards blocking the way in front of them, so the aunts did not dare to move forward.
Ji Wuyou sighed boldly, "This Yinzhu Village is incredible. They really know how to do business."
"Yes."
Although these aunties were stopped by the secret guards and could not get close to the nobles, it did not prevent them from soliciting business.
"These are all made by us. They are clean, safe and delicious. Please have a look."
As soon as the auntie spoke, the other aunties followed immediately.
The voices of sales promotion were heard all around, and the unique voices of the Jiangnan water villages were so noisy that they could make a hole in the sky.
Qianqian rubbed his ears and glanced around to see a skinny man in a long gown following behind the aunties.
He looked puzzled but before he could ask, an auntie immediately saw the nobleman's intention.
"Oh my lord, that's our village master Yu."
“Hahahaha,” an aunt laughed sharply, “He is just a poor student. Our kids are all doing business and no one goes to the family school anymore.”
"That's right. Mr. Yu is good at studying but not at business. His stuff is really bad."
"Yes, yes, look at the dried bamboo shoots I dry at home, they are delicious no matter how you cook them..."
The aunties were working hard to sell their products, but Qian Qian didn't really mind.
They are just trying to promote their own products and put down others, and they just said that no one goes to the Yinzhu Village clan school.
Qian Qian immediately felt uncomfortable looking at the embarrassed and frail middle-aged man.
[Tongzi, what's the situation with Mr. Yu? ]
The system smiled bitterly, [This Mr. Yu was originally the only scholar in Yinzhu Village. ]
[He had been a respected teacher in the Yinzhu Village clan school before, but since Yinzhu Village began to vigorously develop the tourism industry. ]
[The villagers of Yinzhu Village have become keen on doing business. In order to make more money, the villagers let their children go out to set up stalls to attract business. ]
[People are always tolerant and sympathetic to children. ]
[It is easier and faster for children to make money by soliciting business than for adults to do so. ]
[Gradually, no children were seen in the clan school in Yinzhu Village.]
[Then Master Yu would naturally be unemployed, if his mother had not been a captain of the Jiangnan City Defense Army.]
[And he made several military achievements during his tenure, and with those military achievements, he was able to exempt the tribe's land from taxes. ]
[This Yinzhu Village may not even be willing to provide food for Mr. Yu's family.]
[However, even with the help from the elders of Yinzhu Village. ]
[Master Yu's family can barely make ends meet. In addition to his 92-year-old mother, there is no one left in his family.]
[We also have two little girls, one four years old and the other two years old, both of whom are growing up. ]
[Master Yu couldn't let his mother starve, so he could only save his own food rations to buy goat milk for the two girls to nourish their bodies.]
Money money...
[No wonder this Master Yu looks like a bamboo pole.]
Looking at the thin and dark middle-aged teacher, he didn't say a word when the aunts were bullying him.
She just smiled shyly, holding the bamboo basket in her hands, and looked at herself with a pair of tired eyes full of hope.
Qian Qian was still somewhat touched, and she ordered, "Lu Yu, tell these aunts to shut up."
"Yes."
Lu Yu took the order and immediately stepped forward, ordering the secret guards to circle the aunts.
Looking at the tall, fierce-looking men and women in front of them, the aunts were so scared that they huddled together and dared not say anything more.
At this time, the skinny Master Yu stepped forward, clasped his hands and bowed, "Sir, I, a country bumpkin, have no ill intentions. Please forgive me."
