Chapter 139 Watch Me, I Can Do It
The Prefect of Kaifeng wanted to persuade him again, but Li Shuchen insisted on doing so.
Let's leave it at that.
But the Prefect of Kaifeng didn't understand. Such an opportunity to appear before the Emperor was something others would kill for, yet Li Shuchen was making excuses.
Others didn't understand either, but they all respected Li Shuchen's choice.
The matter was thus dropped.
Everyone drank and ate together
After drinking, Li Shuchen started giggling foolishly. The thought that none of the more than ten thousand refugees had died filled her with joy, and she muttered to herself...
"This should be considered a miracle in history."
Dr. Sun: "Yes, I would say so. I've been practicing medicine for over fifty years and have also encountered epidemics."
"An event with such a dense population, yet only ten infected individuals and no deaths, is unprecedented; it's nothing short of a miracle."
Li Shuchen grinned foolishly after hearing this; she was so happy, so very happy.
Gu Ziying carefully supported the drunk Li Shuchen and said, "Shuchen is so happy, and I'm happy too. This is a meaningful thing, and it can be considered a good deed."
Li Shuchen swayed slightly as he replied, "Yes, this is all good karma. Heaven is keeping track of it for me, and I'm going to accumulate lots and lots of it."
Princess Changning picked up her glass and took another sip, saying, "I suppose I've done something decent."
The Prefect of Kaifeng, sitting upright, said, "This is the most admirable thing I have done for the people in my decades of service."
Dr. Sun stroked his beard and said, "This is also the most successful time I've ever treated a patient."
Xiao Xiuyuan lightly fanned himself and said, "As a student, I have many insights to share."
Li Lingxiao swallowed the chicken leg meat in her mouth and said, "Xiao'er, you've learned so much in just a few days."
Li Shuchen straightened up
"Come, let's celebrate the complete success of this righteous act!"
"Happiness"
After several rounds of drinks, Li Shuchen was completely drunk, but she had good manners and behaved herself even when she was quite tipsy.
He lay down on Gu Ziying and fell asleep, his usual carefree demeanor gone.
The banquet ended.
Princess Changning and Gu Ziying escorted Li Shuchen back to the Happiness Inn.
Li Lingxiao was taken home by Xiao Xiuyuan.
Everyone else went home and found their own mothers.
Happiness Inn Three Treasures Hall
Grape helped Li Shuchen to bed.
Li Shuchen touched the soft blanket and felt comfortable.
I'm so sleepy, I'll just sleep whenever I feel like it.
She simply lifted her legs and lay down on it, feeling as if she were floating among the clouds. Mmm, so comfortable. Who knows how sore her body must have been from sleeping on a hard wooden board every day these past few days?
That feels much better.
Grape saw her young mistress sleeping on the bed and quickly took off Li Shuchen's outer clothes.
This coat is covered in dust and stains; it's filthy and needs to be taken off.
But with Li Shuchen's coat pressing down on her completely, Grape couldn't move at all.
Grape: "Miss, could you turn over? I'll take off your coat for you."
After Grape finished speaking, Li Shuchen actually turned over.
Seeing this, Grape quickly took off her coat, giving instructions as she did so.
"Miss, please step aside."
Li Shuchen turned to the side
"Miss, stretch out your arm."
Li Shuchen stretched out his arm
"Miss, please lift your leg."
Li Shuchen lifted her leg
Then Grape perfectly removed Li Shuchen's outer garment and covered him with the blanket, saying...
"Miss, please get some rest."
Li Shuchen fell into a deep sleep, sleeping soundly. She dreamt that she was riding a large white cloud to attend a celestial feast.
There wasn't a single dish at the grand event that she didn't love.
Fried chicken, barbecue, hot pot
Fresh fruit, cake, ice cream
Etc., etc
Grab it and shove it into your mouth.
The food she showed off would hide whenever it saw her.
"Roasted pig's trotter, why are you running away? Come here and let me eat it!"
Seeing the roasted pig's trotter running so fast, he knew he was about to lose it.
Start giving commands to your mount
"Little Softie, speed up and catch up with the roasted pig's trotter!"
Upon receiving the order, Xiao Ruanruan suddenly accelerated, so fast that the wind whipped Li Shuchen's hair high into the air.
"We're almost there, Little Softie, turn right!"
With a drift and a right turn, Little Softie caught up with the roasted pig's trotter.
Li Shuchen quickly hugged the roasted pig's trotter to his chest, grinning wickedly.
"Hehehe, you can't escape now. You can't get out of my grasp. Once I catch you, you're doomed."
Li Shuchen opened her mouth wide and took a big bite of meat.
This meat is so tough, it's hurting my teeth.
"Sigh~"
It hurts so much!
Li Shuchen covered his mouth and got up. When he opened his eyes, there was no roasted pig's trotter in his hand.
That was clearly her wooden stick.
There was a row of deep teeth marks on the stick.
Goodness, thank goodness her teeth are strong enough, otherwise they would have fallen out long ago with that force.
Li Shuchen looked up and saw that it was already bright outside, so he put the wooden stick aside.
Get up and wash up
She has to go to the city gate to recruit people today, so she has to hurry, otherwise everyone will be gone.
Grape brought the rice up at this moment
Li Shuchen quickly finished his rice, took Grape downstairs, and saw Xiao Fengdao.
"Xiao Feng, come with me to the city gate to recruit people."
Xiao Feng: "Okay, Miss."
Li Shuchen continued, "Take another plank and wait for me at the back gate."
Xiao Feng: "Understood, Miss."
Li Shuchen went to the stable to fetch Li Wanbai and harnessed her to the carriage.
The three of them boarded the carriage and set off for the city gate.
Li Shuchen alighted from the carriage and found that the city gates were not yet open; only a few shopkeepers had arrived, which put him slightly at ease.
While there's still plenty of time, let's start making preparations.
Having found a cool, auspicious spot, I also retrieved a fire poker.
Write on the wooden board
[The orchard is hiring. Requirements: (This likely refers to a job opening or job posting)]
Four people with experience in planting fruit trees
Ten taels of silver per month
Ten people tending the fruit trees
Eight taels of silver per month
A cook
[Seven taels of silver per month]
After Li Shuchen finished writing, he stood the wooden board upright to one side.
Xiao Feng found a small table, carried it over, and set it up.
Li Shuchen went to the carriage to get a small stool, then returned to the small table and sat down.
During this period, many more business owners arrived, setting up tables and writing job postings.
The business owners, in perfect unison, set up tables on both sides of the road, leaving a wide passageway in the middle.
Li Shuchen sat on a stool, waiting for the city gate to open.
At 9:00 AM, the soldiers opened the city gates.
In an instant, countless people surged in, rushing and running forward; the scene was comparable to a marathon.
As the crowd surged forward, Xiao Feng shouted loudly from the side.
"The orchard is hiring manual laborers, with a monthly salary of eight to ten taels of silver. We are also hiring a cook, with a monthly salary of seven taels of silver."
Li Shuchen also stood up and shouted.
"Let's take a walk and see. The fruit orchard is starting to hire people, with priority given to experienced individuals. They also need ten servants, plus a cook."
Silver is eighteen or seventeen in the lunar calendar, silver makes your heart beautiful.
After listening, Grape was once again completely captivated by her young mistress.
Her daughter can improvise lyrics, and the best part is, she makes them sound so good!
Lacking such talent, all I could do was shout it out.
"The orchard is hiring! Everyone come and see! High monthly pay, generous bonuses, once you're here you won't want to leave!"
And so, Li Shuchen and his two companions shouted their hearts out, and the shouts of the shopkeepers rose and fell in unison, creating a lively scene at the city gate.
Before long, a large crowd had gathered around Li Shuchen's stall, eagerly recommending themselves to him.
"Miss, look at me. I'm young and strong; I can do hard labor, any kind of work."
"Miss, I can do it! Look at me, I'm all muscle, I can work fast."
"Miss, look at me, I've planted apple trees for two years."
