"See Master Xu and Master Bai."

Chen Changsheng was about to kowtow and salute, but Xu Tan stopped him first.

"Mrs. Chen, there is no need to be polite. You are my noble, how can I ask a noble to salute."

Various dishes and drinks were brought in one by one, and after waiting for them to be served, there were only three of them in the private room.

Xu Tan raised his wine glass and said in toast, "I, Xu, went south this time, and it was only with the help of Brother Bai and Mrs. Chen that I was able to do things so smoothly. I would like to toast you two here today."

He drank the drink in one gulp.

"Master Xu is so polite."

Bai Xiao and Chen Changsheng also drank the wine in their glasses.

Xu Tan said happily, "Brother Bai just told me that Madam Chen, you are a strange person. Not only are you good at medicine, but you are also good at martial arts. This time it opened our eyes even more. You can make black powder."

For someone as powerful as you, madam, to disappear in this unknown countryside is really a humiliation. The Holy Emperor will definitely reward you generously this time. Why don't you, Madam, go to Beijing together and let all the women in the world learn from your talents? "

He is not the kind of pedantic person who always looks down upon powerful and talented people, so he also admires Chen Changsheng from the bottom of his heart.

Chen Changsheng laughed, "Master Xu, don't make fun of me. I'm just a village woman with four children, how can I go to Shangjing? Besides, Shangjing is a prosperous place, and everything costs money. I don’t have that much money.”

"If Madam is worried about money, don't worry about it. My house is very big. As long as Madam is willing to come, you can choose any courtyard."

The Xu family is one of the richest families in Beijing, and they are related by marriage to the Holy Emperor. Their power cannot be underestimated, and there is no need to worry about money.

"You can't go anywhere. The whole family is busy harvesting right now. We just finished harvesting and haven't had time to thresh. If we don't hurry up, it will rain and the grains will rot. That year's work will be in vain."

I came to the city this time, firstly to attend Master Xu’s appointment, and secondly, to find out if there was any good way to thresh the grains. "

Chen Changsheng wanted to buy a manual thresher, but he only used it once or twice a year, so it was a bit fussy.

If that doesn't work, she can rent a threshing machine from the bracelet mall, the kind that burns diesel directly, and can do all the threshing in one day.

Bai Xiao, who had been silent on the side, suddenly said, "The threshing machine that Mrs. Chen wants is not difficult. I can help you find it."

He knows several grain harvesting merchants. Some merchants harvest white rice when harvesting, while others directly harvest unthreshed rice. Naturally, they have threshing machines.

"If County Magistrate Bai can really help, then I won't be polite to you. I'll also ask the magistrate to lend you a few more units."

In addition to her family, there are also Laozhai and Li Zheng's family, as well as every other household in the village, all in need. If you can really borrow it, everyone can save a lot of effort.

Bai Xiao agreed, "It's a simple matter. Leave it to me. I'll have the thresher delivered to you later."

Farmers' rush to harvest grain is no small matter and must not be delayed for a moment. As a parent, since he couldn't spare any effort, he would do whatever else he could.

Seeing that Bai Xiao and Chen Changsheng were chatting happily, Xu Tan couldn't help but interject, "Hey, hey, you two can sing in harmony, but don't forget that I can also contribute. Mrs. Chen, how many people do your village need to harvest? I Arrange a few workers from the mine to help."

"It's almost collected. We don't need manpower for the time being. Thank you Master Xu for observing the public sentiment." Chen Changsheng picked up the wine glass and smiled at the two people in front of him. "We, the Chenjiacun group, would like to express our deep gratitude to the two adults. The women of the village are here to express their gratitude to you." One cup for adults.”

The three of them raised their glasses at the same time, drank all the wine in the glasses, and finished the food on the table. They said goodbye to each other and left.

Bai Xiao's yamen were very efficient in their work. In just one meal, five threshing machines were ready. Each threshing machine is large and transported by an ox cart.

Chen Changsheng drove a carriage in front, and the person transporting the thresher drove an ox cart behind her. The six vehicles drove steadily towards Chenjia Village.

All the young and middle-aged people in every household in Chenjia Village went to the fields, leaving only the old, weak, pregnant women and children at home taking turns threshing grains manually.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a large group of people and horses at the entrance of the village, especially the old house of the Chen family who lived at the east entrance of the village. The sound of the horses was very real.

The children in the second and third bedrooms ran out of the courtyard and saw that the person driving the car was actually their aunt, and they were very excited.

Several children cheered and gathered around, "Auntie, where did this carriage come from?"

"This horse is so majestic and handsome!"

Chen Changsheng jumped out of the front seat of the carriage and said with a smile, "My aunt bought it. Do you want to get on it and give it a try?"

The children's eyes were bright and they nodded in unison, "Yes!"

She picked up Xiaoju, the youngest girl from the third room, and carried her into the car. She then carried Erju and Ermao Sanmao into the car, leaving Da Mao from the second room and Daju from the third room.

"You two are brother and sister, so just sit in the front seat."

"Okay!" Da Mao and Da Ju happily responded and jumped into the front seat of the car.

The two children were sitting side by side, and Chen Changsheng was holding the reins and walking beside them.

She turned back to the oxcart master who was following behind and said, "Masters, please follow me to the yard. There is an open space there just right for a threshing machine."

The group of people cheered and headed towards the camp.

Six children from the second and third bedrooms sat in the car chattering, and the four younger ones in the car were even more excited.

"Auntie, is this really the carriage you bought? It's so comfortable to sit on."

"I heard that the rich ladies and gentlemen in the city also go out in carriages."

"The last time the county magistrate came to our village, he also rode a carriage. I saw him from a distance."

Several children were chirping and envious of the uncle's four children.

It would be great if their family also bought a horse-drawn carriage. No, an ox-cart would also be fine.

The noise of horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts was not small, and coupled with the laughter of children, it immediately attracted the attention of the villagers. Some women and aunts who loved to join in the fun hurriedly ran into the fields and spread the news that a carriage had arrived in the village.

When they arrived at the camp, Chen Changsheng said to Damao, "Go and call Mr. Li Zheng over."

Da Mao pulled out his legs and went to Zheng's house.

Chen Li was walking home carrying a load when he saw Chen Damao running towards him in a hurry.

"You kid, why are you running in such a hurry?"

Da Mao coveted Chen Li's arms and headed towards the camp, briefly talking about the matter on the way.

When I arrived at the field, I saw five threshing machines placed on the field.
