C68 Zheng Sanpang

Because of Liu Fu's addition, the allocation of resources and the mobilization of personnel in the territory had increased by a lot.

In just two days, Wang Meng brought all the materials and personnel he needed and left for Heilongcun.

There were also many residents of the castle who were attracted by the high wages. A day after taxes could be said to be a high salary of 60 copper, which was about 10% more than the average job.

However, the place he was going to was far away from the city, and it was said that he was going to do mining work.

Therefore, a large portion of the people chose to wait and see. Some families would only send out a single labourer to see the situation. If it was really as the announcement said, then it wouldn't be too late to head there.

Even so, on the day they set out, they still pulled out a long convoy, led by Wang Meng and a group of management talents. After that, all sorts of vehicles filled with various materials, most of which were some construction materials and a large amount of food.

With so many people suddenly charging into Heilongcun, the amount of food stored in the village was definitely not enough to eat.

Liu Fu called Wang Meng to bring away most of the food stored in the territory, but he estimated that it would only be enough for a month's time, because the free labourers in the other villages would also be heading to Heilongcun in a few days.

"It looks like I can only buy them from merchants and merchant guilds in the future," Zhao Fengnian thought silently as he looked at the long convoy and the more than a hundred prefectural soldiers and young and strong young men at the side.

Although more than 100 people had left, the castle was still bustling with activity. Adventurers and merchants continued with their previous lives and didn't feel any changes at all.

Seeing that the group had walked out of the territory's gate, Zhao Fengnian retracted his gaze, and said to Tao An who was beside him: "Let's go back, and check on Chef Zheng's preparations."

Hearing Zhao Fengnian's words, Tao An's eyes lit up, and even saliva was almost flowing out of the corner of his mouth. He hurriedly nodded: "Yes, Young Lord."

These two days, Zhao Fengnian did not stay idle either. First of all, he found the chef at home, Zheng Sanpang.

Zheng Sanpang was in his thirties, and had the appearance of a good chef. He had a big head, a thick neck, and a body of white fat.

Zheng Sanpang's grandfather was a child that Old Master Zhao had picked up on his way back from Yongan City.

At that time, there were only three or four years old children who had passed out from hunger by the roadside. During that year, it was a great drought and most of the commoners could not eat their fill. Who knew how many people died from starvation by the roadside.

It was also just a coincidence that Zhao Fengnian's great grandfather didn't notice the common sight on the roadside and thought it was that pitiful starved person again.

But just as Zhao Fengnian's great grandfather was about to drive by, the child crawled up with difficulty and called out "Thirsty".

Seeing that the child was still alive, Zhao Fengnian's great grandfather called for help.

After the child came to Yongfeng Ridge, because he did not have a identity plate, he became a slave and did some simple jobs in the Zhao Family.

As he grew older, the child showed an extraordinary interest and creativity in eating.

That was why he had been working beside the old chef in the kitchen of the Zhao family. Slowly, the child displayed an astonishing cooking talent, and he would only need to look at most dishes once before remembering them.

Slowly the child grew up as a slave and was married to another woman who was also a slave to the Zhao family.

With the help of the Zhao family, their child was reinstated as a commoner and was given the surname Zheng.

Although his status as a commoner was restored, the Zheng Family was grateful to the Zhao Family for serving them for generations.
