Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 466: Be Honest

Chunzhi's eyes rolled and then she suddenly realized.

"Oh my, miss, you are right! Look at me, I am so stupid and inconsiderate. If he really wants to make things difficult for us, we are done for."

An Yue stretched out her chopsticks and picked up some food while saying, "Now it seems that the Magistrate of Qi County is still an honest official."

"But everyone has his own weak spot, but we know very little about him, let alone where it is. If we touch it, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Besides, he is the magistrate of Yongchuan County. He is a person who can cover the sky with one hand. We can't afford to offend him."

"Well, the lady is right. As long as he doesn't cause us any trouble, we will be very lucky."

"Now, when we do some small business in the town and the county, we should try not to provoke the powerful people there, let alone offend them casually. Let's just do business honestly."

"Yes, that's what the lady said. Those powerful and wealthy people want to crush us, just as easily as crushing an ant."

An Yue looked at Chun Zhi, pretending to be unhappy and smiled, and said, "You, you, it's good to know this truth!"

"Oh, by the way, Miss, our family has been busy with farm work recently. Do you want me to go back and help with farm work for a few days?"

After hearing this, An Yue blinked and thought about it.

"No, I will go back in the next two days. But before I go back, this pastry shop needs to find a helper."

"It's hot now, and we can't let customers stand and wait all the time. One more person means one more pair of hands, and we have to speed up the delivery of the dishes."

Chunzhi agreed: "Yes! Today, I can clearly feel that these customers in line are a bit impatient."

......

Time flies, and before I know it, a few days have passed.

This day, early in the morning.

An Yue was meeting a new helper in the shop.

Suddenly, two officers came to the door of the shop and asked, "Where is Miss An Yue?"

Hearing this, An Yue quickly stood up and said, "My Lords, I am An Yue. May I ask what you two Lords want to talk to me about?"

The officer said calmly, "Miss An Yue, the county magistrate wants to see you."

"My two lords, do you know why the county magistrate wants to see me?"

An Yue thought about testing their situation first, so that she could be mentally prepared in case it turned out to be a bad thing.

Although he had not done anything against the law, he still felt uneasy when the police came.

The county magistrate had said before that he wanted An Nian to assist him in promoting the composting method.

After hearing this, the two officers looked at each other and smiled.

One of the officers smiled and said, "Please rest assured, young lady. The county magistrate wants us to 'invite' you to the yamen, not to arrest you."

After hearing what the officer said, An Yue finally let go of the heart that had been in her throat.

She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled faintly: "Thank you for the trip, two officers."

Then she turned around and told Chunzhi a few things about the shop, then followed the official to the yamen.

Along the way, An Yue wondered in her heart, the county magistrate came to see her, could it be that he encountered some problems in promoting the composting method?

Or, do you need her help with something?

An Yue was guessing in her heart and unknowingly arrived at the yamen.

The officer brought An Yue to the county magistrate's study, where the magistrate was flipping through documents at his desk.

Seeing An Yue coming, Magistrate Qi quickly put down the documents in his hand, smiled and said, "Miss An Yue, you are here. Please take a seat."

An Yue bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, sir. I wonder why you asked me to come here?"

"Don't be anxious, young lady. Have some tea first." As he said this, he signaled the servant beside him to pour tea for An Yue.

An Yue took the teacup, took a sip, put it down gently, and looked at County Magistrate Qi quietly, waiting for his next words.

County Magistrate Qi cleared his throat and said, "Miss An Yue, I have already arranged for people to carry out pilot promotion in various villages on the composting method you explained to me last time."

"But villagers in various villages find it untrustworthy, which seriously delays the progress of promoting composting."

An You asked doubtfully, "What does the county magistrate mean...?"

"I would like to ask Miss An Yue to accompany me to visit various villages and personally guide the villagers in composting."

An Yue thought for a moment, "When do we set off?"

"This matter should be dealt with as soon as possible. It would be best if we set off immediately."

"It's just... I don't know what Miss An Yue's arrangements are."

"Then I need to go back to the shop and explain a few things."

When the county magistrate saw An Yue agreed, he said with joy, "Okay, okay, let's meet on the street later."

After An Yue came out of the county magistrate's study, she walked quickly towards her own pastry shop.

She knew that it was early summer.

The scorching weather is perfect for composting, and the fermentation and decomposition speed will be much faster.

If this composting method is successfully promoted, for the people, increased production from farming means that after they pay their taxes, they will no longer go hungry.

For the county magistrate, composting will promote crop yields, which will greatly reduce his stress.

After all, if this matter was accomplished, he would have given an explanation to the court and the people.

......

An Yue first went to a spicy hot pot shop not far away and had a brief conversation with Ale and the accountant.

Afterwards, he rushed to the pastry shop.

She briefly explained to Chunzhi the matter of hiring a new helper and various matters in the shop.

After explaining, Chunzhi said with a worried look on her face: "Miss, you are going out with the county magistrate, and I think there are also a group of men. You must pay more attention to your safety."

An Yue gently patted Chunzhi's shoulder and said, "Don't worry! I will be back as soon as possible."

Just as he finished giving the instructions, the county magistrate's carriage arrived at the door of Anyue's pastry shop.

The coachman lowered the steps of the carriage and An Yue stepped onto it.

As soon as I got into the carriage, I saw a girl about the same age as Anyue in the carriage.

An Yue bowed and greeted, "Master Qi."

The girl sitting next to Magistrate Qi was blinking at An Yue.

She tilted her head and asked curiously, "Are you An Yue?"

An Yue smiled faintly at the girl and nodded.

Afterwards, An Yue began to quickly analyze the situation in the carriage.

She glanced at the girl. She looked somewhat like Magistrate Qi, and it was obvious that they were father and daughter.

Magistrate Qi raised his hand to signal An Yue to sit down, and said, "Miss An Yue, please take a seat quickly. This is my youngest daughter, Qi Jin'er."

An Yue nodded slightly and said respectfully, "I am An Yue, a commoner, and I am honored to meet Miss Qi."

"Okay, sit down quickly!" Qi Jiner smiled and pulled An Yue to sit next to her.

At this time, the driver outside the carriage asked:
