If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

Two days later, the first rural market in Liuzhou Prefecture, Xiaoliu Village Market, arrived as scheduled. Chu Zeming sent two officials to guard Ou Mengde and help supervise and deal with some unexpected disputes. Situ Yidong also sent a team of patrol soldiers to help maintain order and lend a hand to the villagers in need.

Meixiang and Feng Yizheng brought Chen Er, Chen San and Xiao San to the market after breakfast. They saw that Village Chief Ou Mengde had made preliminary plans for the vacant land. The left side of the road was now mainly for selling potatoes. A part of the remaining potatoes from Xiao Liu Village were moved here and three villagers were responsible for them: one was responsible for accounting and collecting money, and two were responsible for weighing, loading and other miscellaneous tasks.

Three tables and two chairs were specially set up in the south corner, where the government officials sat. In addition, Village Chief Ou also arranged five people to promote potatoes here, and they almost memorized the explanation method and content of Xiao San when digging potatoes at Liu Mansion that day. No wonder Village Chief Ou made a special trip to Liu Mansion yesterday to consult Xiao San. It turned out that this was his intention.

In addition, seven or eight villagers from some unknown village also carried some potatoes to sell in exchange for some silver coins. In addition, some smart villagers placed some vegetables, fruits and melons on the ground in front of them.

On the right side of the road, there are four or five small stalls selling food, such as cakes, wontons, noodles and the like. It was the first day of the opening and the only people who knew about it were villagers from two small villages nearby, so not many people came.

"Sister Xiang'er, you have to admit that Village Chief Ou is a real talent. He has organized this market in just two days. It is said that there was no trouble in the distribution of potatoes. After dinner yesterday, he caught two people who were stealing potatoes in the back mountain and sent them to the government office overnight, asking the government office to punish them severely. Haha..." Feng Yizheng said with a smile as he looked at the scene in front of him.

Meixiang turned around in surprise and looked at Feng Yizhen and asked, "Ah, there is such a thing? Tell me how you dealt with it later?"

"Brother Chu discussed with me and decided to give them a small punishment and a big warning. We kept the two men in the government office for two days and gave them thirty strokes of the board each before notifying their families to take them back." Feng Yizhen couldn't help laughing when he thought of the scene at that time. "As a result, the two young men were scolded by their families on the spot. If the police hadn't stopped them, they would have had more injuries on their bodies."

"Yes, when you first encounter something like this, you have to deal with it strictly. The government office may have to work harder and cooperate with them. Once the rules are slowly established, it will be much easier."

Feng Yizhen nodded repeatedly after hearing this. He and Chu Zeming also made such a punishment decision after considering this. Many things in Liuzhou Prefecture now have no traces and no precedents to refer to and implement. They can only cross the river by feeling the stones and slowly establish and improve various systems and regulations. It is very tiring, but each of them has also learned a lot and grown a lot.

At this time, a noise came from a distance, and three or four groups of people turned into Xiaoliu Village one after another. The largest group of about 20 people was the most eye-catching because one of the two people walking in front was the village chief Ou Mengde. Meixiang and Feng Yizhen, who were about to turn around and leave, stopped immediately when they saw this.

Village Chief Ou took us directly to the potato area on the left and introduced it in person: "Village Chief Li, come here, please. These are the potatoes I mentioned. These are the ones grown in the back hill of our village." He paused and pointed at two unfamiliar villagers among the seven or eight villagers who were also selling potatoes and said: "The potatoes sold by those two fellow villagers are the ones grown by Miss Liu from Liujia Village this season."

Upon hearing this, Village Chief Li put down the potatoes in his hand and walked in the direction of Village Chief Ou's finger to the two villagers. He squatted down beside them, looked through the baskets in front of the villagers, and said, "Fellow villagers, which village are you from?"

The two villagers rubbed their fingers together and looked at each other. The older one replied, "We are from the next village."

"Wow, where do you get these potatoes? How do you sell them?"

His eyes lit up. He had only come here to try his luck, but he didn't expect someone would actually want to buy this thing. He quickly replied, "I heard from our village chief that the Liu family of Liujia Village distributed this to our village. My family got one jin. My wife got pregnant recently, so I wanted to nourish her body. I heard from the village chief that this thing could be sold, so I kept some. I want to exchange the rest for some money."

Another villager nodded repeatedly when he heard this. "Excuse me, do you want to buy it? We can sell it to you. You can decide the price."

The villagers at other stalls had seen people approaching them to chat, and they looked over here with envy. But soon their backpacks were filled with people.

"Hey, Miss Liu, Mr. Feng, you are here today too?" Village Chief Ou had the time to look around and soon spotted Meixiang and Feng Yizheng standing at the edge.

"Village Chief Li, that girl is the Miss Liu from the Liu Mansion in Liujia Village that I mentioned to you. If you don't believe what I said, you can go and ask her in person." Village Chief Ou suggested to Village Chief Li, who had been undecided, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Alright."

Upon hearing this, the leader of the three waves of people quietly followed Village Chief Ou and Village Chief Li to come in front of Meixiang and others, bowed to them and asked, "Miss Liu, Mr. Feng, this Village Chief Li from Lijia Village has a few questions about potatoes that he wants to consult. Do you think it's convenient?"

Meixiang smiled at the people in front of her, then looked at Village Chief Ou who kept winking at her anxiously and nodded: "If you have any questions, please ask. I will tell you everything I know."

"Thank you, Miss Liu. We apologize for the inconvenience." Village Chief Li looked at the villagers who had gathered around him and asked on their behalf, "First of all, Miss Liu, are these potatoes really edible?"

Meixiang did not speak to this question, but turned to look at Village Chief Ou. Village Chief Ou heard the words and saw Meixiang looking at him. He quickly came to his senses and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this matter. I have arranged for people to use these potatoes as food to make one or two dishes. You will know after trying them. But I guarantee here with my personality that I will not let you down. Haha..."

"Is the output of this thing really as high as they say?" another person asked, and the others pricked up their ears and waited for the answer.
