After rebirth, Jiaojiao Cook and Silly Marquis counterattacked

Chapter 162 Double Compensation

The only condition is that they must plant according to the instructions of the city lord. They are farmers to begin with, so this requirement is not too excessive.

After watching for a while, Dong Qian felt bored and returned to the restaurant. Next, she just had to wait for the good news from the city lord.

The person who received the seeds planted the seeds as soon as possible when they returned home.

The two taels of silver will be distributed to this person only after the city lord passes the inspection.

I have to say this is a good idea, but with two taels of silver per person, this kind of expense is a bit high.

Judging from the number of people who have received the seeds, it is impossible to distribute all the seeds without a few hundred taels, but if the money is small, some people will not come because they look down upon it.

After waiting for several days, Dong Qian didn't hear any movement from the city lord.

However, a message came from my father at home, saying that the potatoes planted a few days ago had sprouted.

After that, as long as you take care of it according to the method Dong Qian said, you will definitely be able to bear fruit within three months.

"City Lord, please calm down. This matter must have nothing to do with Chef Dong. Maybe there is something wrong with the method?"

Dong Qian was sitting at the door of the restaurant basking in the sun. There were not many guests coming these days, so she took her time to bask in the sun.

It was because her master's aunt had told her before that spending more time in the sun was good for her health.

Hearing Liu Kun's voice, Dong Qian suddenly sat up from her chair.

As soon as she raised her head, she saw Liu Kun following behind the city lord, and several people were heading in her direction angrily.

"City Lord, are you planning to eat?" Dong Qian still didn't know what was going on.

The city lord looked at her solemnly.

"Tell me, why haven't even a single potato sprouted since I planted it according to your requirements?"

"Impossible!" Dong Qian said firmly.

Because the batch at home has already grown from the same land and seeds.

It shows that there is nothing wrong with her request. The failure to germinate must be a problem with the seeds.

"This is impossible! I have seen the methods of every race, and they all strictly follow the requirements."

The city lord's voice was also sonorous and powerful.

A lot of people gradually gathered around, Dong Qian said immediately.

"It won't look good if this matter comes to light. Why don't you come with me, City Lord?"

The city lord is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to adapt. Dong Qian walked to the door of the room upstairs and looked at Liu Kundao.

"I just want to talk to the city lord alone, everyone else is waiting outside."

Originally, Qin Han also came up because he was worried that Dong Qian wouldn't be able to deal with these people.

This was his first time face to face with Liu Kun. There were so many people here, he would definitely not dare to make a move.

After entering the room, the surroundings became quiet. After confirmation, there was indeed nothing wrong with the planting method.

The land can naturally grow things, but why doesn't it sprout?

"Perhaps the time is too short. It would not be too late if the city lord waits for another two or three days."

What Dong Qian said is not unreasonable. There is always a cycle in growing crops.

It would be bad if you are too eager for success.

Originally, Liu Kun was standing at the door triumphantly.

Waiting for Dong Qian to be taken away by the city lord as a fraud, who knows that after the city lord came out, he left without saying a word.

Liu Kun hurriedly followed, "City Lord, who are you?"

"Wait for two more days. If there is no germination after two days..." After he finished speaking, he gave Dong Qian a cold look, as if he wanted her to use her life to compensate.

Dong Qian took a deep breath and frowned slightly.

Dong Qian didn't understand what went wrong.

But she didn't use all the potatoes from the three carts last time.

At least half of it was still stored in the warehouse of Haohan Restaurant, but Dong Qian didn't believe that it was really her problem.

The two waited anxiously for two more days. The result was the same as last time, no sprouts at all. The city lord questioned Dong Qian.

But Dong Qian took out the ones grown at home and they sprouted, which proved that her method was indeed correct.

But Liu Kun was provoking from the sidelines.

"Okay, so it turns out that if you tell your family the correct method, you won't be able to grow anything for the city lord. Dong Qian, you are so cruel!"

With Liu Kun provoking her, Dong Qian really wanted to cry.

"I do things with a clear conscience. If there is no problem with planting, it can only be caused by the seeds."

This is the conclusion Dong Qian came to after thinking for a long time. No matter what the result is, there must be something wrong with it.

The city lord snorted coldly.

"I specially asked someone to save the seeds, and I brought them back from the Xu Mansion. Dong Qian, are you kidding me?"

His voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth, which was enough to show that he hated someone who deceived him.

Dong Qian didn't want this to happen, "City Lord, I can guarantee it with my life..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Liu Kun.

"How much is your life worth? Do you know how much the city lord trusts you? He spent a lot of money on this matter, but he got this result!"

Every word he said could very accurately arouse the anger in the city lord's heart.

Before Dong Qian had time to speak, she heard Qin Han walking from the door and talking as he walked.

"It would be a little too unkind for the city lord to convict someone so arbitrarily. This loss cannot be ignored."

"You are right, all the silver lost by this city lord will be borne by your Haohan Restaurant!"

Qin Han caught the city lord's thoughts as soon as he came up.

He has lost so much now, and he definitely wants to recover this loss more than anything else.

Only by talking to him from this starting point can it be possible.

"In this case, give us time to investigate clearly. If we do not give an accurate answer, we will pay double compensation."

Qin Han's conditions are very tempting.

Liu Kun couldn't say anything he wanted to say. In the end, he could only watch the city lord agree and give them two days.

However, Dong Qian felt that it would not take two days, half a day would be enough.

"When I talked about this matter with the city lord that day, Liu Kun must have been hiding in the dark and eavesdropping."

Dong Qian knew that he must have bad intentions.

But now is not the time to accuse others, it is still most important to take care of the evidence.

Dong Qian and Qin Han found the housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion.

"When the seeds were distributed that day, were there any seeds left behind?"

The butler nodded.

Because there are many seeds and the fields in Yancheng are relatively limited, there is still a small part left.

Then Dong Qian, led by the housekeeper, came to the warehouse in the city lord's mansion, where two wooden barrels were placed, emitting an unpleasant smell.

Logically speaking, today's weather is not considered hot. It only lasts for five or six days, so it shouldn't smell so bad.

"There are only these two barrels left. The city lord didn't say anything about throwing them away, so he kept them here."

After the butler finished speaking, he couldn't help but go out.

Dong Qian endured the unpleasant smell and stepped forward. These seeds needed to be soaked in water.

But not only did the seeds not germinate, there was also a layer of mold growing on the water.

"This kind of seed will never germinate!"

Dong Qian was very sure after just one glance.

If the seeds can germinate, they will certainly be able to grow some sprouts even in water.

But now, not only did these seeds not sprout, but when Dong Qian stirred them with a wooden stick, they actually broke into pieces, which made Dong Qian feel sick.
