Chapter 868 Reporting
Zhou Guo said: "I don't want to get it back, I want to let everyone know that I lost something, and it was grain seeds. We can't lose something and not react at all. Wouldn't that make those people suspicious?"
She wanted to make this group of people believe that what they had in their hands was high-yield grain seeds.
Huzi was worried, "Can they believe it? These seeds are still quite different from the new grain seeds."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Who knows? The batch they stole is not bad. Laymen usually can't tell. If they can tell, it means they are amazing."
Er Pang said, "When the master asked me to change the grain, I thought it was unnecessary. Now it seems that he was really far-sighted."
Hu Zi couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you promise to distribute the seeds to them next year? Why are there still people doing this? It only takes one year, and these seeds have already been circulated. They can't do it all by themselves."
Zhou Guo said, "Don't forget, we have only been back for a few days. They must have been planning this for quite some time. Counting the days, it was the second day after we returned, the day when the Wu and Liu families came to visit."
There are not many people who have the reason and courage to do something to her, except for those few families.
I just wonder what expressions will be on these big farmers’ faces when she agrees to distribute seeds to them next year?
When the county government heard that Zhou’s farm had been robbed and that grain seeds were stolen,
The county magistrate nearly fell off the stool, and said in panic: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, my God, who dares to touch the taboo of Tai Sui? He doesn't care about his life, but I do. How dare he steal such a deadly thing!!"
When Zhou Guo saw the people from the county government coming, he hurried over to greet them. Before he could say anything, the county magistrate said, "Sir, don't worry. I will definitely catch this little thief and bring him to you personally. I promise to recover the grain for you!!"
Zhou Guo sighed, "Sir, you know that the things in my warehouse are all very useful, but some thieves came from nowhere and stole all my things overnight. I don't know how they found this place. You must help me and get them back before they get their hands on them!"
The county magistrate originally still had hope in Zhou Guo and said: It's okay, it's okay, the grain seeds are not lost, what was lost is just ordinary grain.
When this was confirmed, the sky almost fell!
That's grain seeds!
It concerns the people's livelihood in the north. If he can't find it, and it is sold and eaten by those petty thieves, can he still keep his head?
Seeing that he was about to cry, Zhou Guo felt guilty and asked, "Sir, do we have enough staff in the county government?"
"Hmm? Ah?" The master was in a daze at the moment. It took him a long while to understand what she said. He slapped his thigh and said, "You are right, you are right. The county government is short of staff. So much food was stolen. I have to go upstairs to find someone."
In theory, such matters are the county government’s own business and cannot be reported to higher authorities.
But this is Zhou Guo, and what he lost was not ordinary wheat, but wheat seeds!
He knew a little about the new wheat seeds. As the county magistrate, he knew how important they were. If they were lost in his place, not only him but also the lord of the prefecture would be to blame.
Zhou Guo reported to the authorities and went to Cheng Ding's farm on the pretext of catching a thief.
When she arrived, the old man was lying on the fruit mountain, drinking tea, eating fruits and snacks, with a burner of incense of some unknown kind lit next to him. If he was sitting cross-legged in meditation, he would look like a Taoist priest.
He smiled and said, "Master, you are so comfortable."
The old man poured her a cup of tea and said, "This land will be better in a few years. Now it's bare and there's nothing on it."
Zhou Guo sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then turned his head to look around, "How could that be? It's pretty good now. Although there aren't many fruits, it's enough for you to eat. Eat two a day, and it will last you more than a month."
Although it wasn't much, it was enough for him to eat alone.
The old man shook his head. "You are just a ring apple. The other pomegranates haven't borne fruit yet. It will be lively when these fruit trees are full of fruit. And there are cherries all over the mountain. I can stay here for a month by then."
Zhou Guo laughed, "Why, you want to leave after just a few days?"
The old man ate another piece of fruit and said, "Have you finished your work? How long should I stay here? This is not as interesting as the village."
Zhou Guo said, "It's almost time. Although we can't go back now, we can go around. Why don't we go to Qian Duo's place? He has a lot of fruit trees there. We dug some pomegranates and grapes from here. Let's go and see how they are growing. There are crabs and fish in the pond. It's much more interesting than here."
Now she just has to wait for the result from the government, it has nothing to do with her anymore.
The old man said happily: "I haven't seen Qian Duo for a long time."
Zhou Guo nodded, "Then I'll go to the mountains and we'll leave early tomorrow morning."
There are not many fruits on the mountain. The old man has picked a small half of them in the past two days. Zhou Guo found it funny. She said, why don’t you like these apples? It turns out you ate too many!
It won’t work if no one is watching. Once something is delicious, I will never stop eating it and I want to eat enough in one go.
In just two days, I got tired of eating Ringo!
She picked one and asked Hu Zi and the others to come up and pick whichever one they liked.
I also asked the village head to pick more than 20 or 30 of them and distribute them to everyone.
Once they are picked, they are all gone, and there is no fruit left in the mountains.
She held a bright red fruit in her hand and sat down next to the old man, saying with a smile, "Master, here, this is the only fruit left on this mountain."
The old man said, "Eat it yourself. You have only eaten one fruit from the mountain. I, your master, have eaten quite a bit of it in the past two days."
It is rare to want to eat fresh fruits to your heart's content throughout your life.
Zhou Guo took the fruit and put it to his mouth, took a bite, and said, "You should eat less. Eating too much of anything is not good. I don't know how you can eat so many of these twenty or thirty fruits. Aren't you afraid of getting an upset stomach?"
The old man rolled his eyes at her and said, "I'm fine. Besides, who told you that I could eat all these fruits by myself? Can I eat so many fruits by myself in two days?"
Zhou Guo was stunned. "You are the best, right? We should save them and eat them slowly, one a day. If we don't eat enough, we will want to eat them every day. Otherwise, we will get tired of them in a few days and it will be no fun at all."
The old man said, "Come on, wait until next year when your farm is full of fruits. I won't eat them. I will get tired of looking at them all day long."
Zhou Guo was speechless. It was just like the mountains of mushrooms at home. He had seen them for so many years, eaten them for so many years, and now he only ate them for a few meals in winter when there was no food to eat.
