Chapter 388 Warm Hours
With the help of Li Mu, the reconstruction of Dixian City has become extremely smooth. In just one day, everyone has a place to live. Under the arrangement of Zhou Zhijian, the owner of the city, the original residents of the city built their own houses and lived in.
And some refugees fleeing from other places have specially arranged some paved houses for their temporary residence. Zhou Zhijian did not exclude these refugees, but received them kindly.
Because the population of Dixian City is nearly half less, a large number of vacant houses are uninhabited, and the development will be relatively slow after reconstruction. These people can just make up for this deficiency. With people, development is not a problem. After all, the fairy city is not what it used to be, and the most indispensable thing is money.
With Li Mu's name, Dixian City is famous far and wide. From the unknown small county before, it has now become a first-class city in the land of China. Both commercial trade and agricultural handicrafts have developed rapidly. Many businessmen move in and funds flow in. Because they all know that Dixian City is the safest place, and what businessmen value most is stable development.
The fairy city is close to the East China Sea, and the fishing industry is developing very rapidly. The seafood here is even sold to areas west of the Central Plains such as Chang'an. Many famous fishermen in the coastal area have also moved into the fairy city. Zhou Zhijian has always welcomed these skilled people. With this series of preferential policies, Dixian City has developed so rapidly.
Although this disaster has caused heavy losses to the three worlds and nearly half of the population of Dixian City, its economic strength is still there and Li Mu's reputation is still there. Although they don't know that Li Mu's strength and prestige have been as before, even a small land before is enough for ordinary people.
With the economic foundation, material foundation, and manpower, it is difficult for the fairy city to develop. Zhou Zhijian naturally has to ask Li Mu about this decision. When Li Mu was away before, he was allowed to develop freely. Even if Zhou Zhijian wanted to report to Li Mu, he couldn't find anyone. However, since Li Mu is here, it is natural to ask for his opinion.
Of course, Li Mu had no objection to such trivial matters and entrusted the full power of Dixian City to Zhou Zhijian. Judging from the development in recent years, Zhou Zhijian is indeed a rare talent. I don't know which king was so visionless that he put such a talent in a small county in a coastal corner. Fortunately, Li Mu, a Bole, found this swift horse.
Li Mu sometimes changed his identity and secretly visited the people in the city, trying to inquire about Zhou Zhijian's seats and deeds from them. However, the answer of the people is very unified, that is, Zhou Zhijian is a good city owner. As for some people with ulterior motives who want to slander Zhou Zhijian, Li Mu will naturally not believe their words.
When night fell, a bonfire rose in the city square to pray for the memory of the dead, and then people began to have a busy dinner. Because many people have fled, they don't have pots, pans of grain, oil, rice and noodles, and no tools to make a fire and cook. Zhou Zhijian had a response to this. He set up a temporary meal for the fleeing people to eat with the army.
Naturally, Li Mu can't eat with them, not to mention that Yang Xueyi follows herself and doesn't want her to show up too much, and she is not the kind of person who likes to boast. Although everyone knows him, most of them are limited to hearing about him, and few people have seen him.
So in the evening, we will have dinner in Chen Afu's Dixian Building. Chen Afu's family has long thought that Li Mu's family was a little high, but they had such a heart. Moreover, for so many years, Chen Afu's family has never used Li Mu's name to make profits for themselves, and even the people in the fairy city hardly know the relationship between Chen Afu and Li Mu.
The Fairy Tower was taken care of by Zhou Zhijian before it developed to such a scale. And those who knew the relationship between Li Mu and Chen Afu at the beginning will not chew their tongues everywhere. They are the elders of the fairy city and the people who are most grateful to Li Mu. Naturally, they will not destroy Li Mu's reputation.
Li Mu ate in the Dixian Tower, and Chen Afu also took it for granted. In Chen Afu's opinion, the Dixian Tower was originally Li Mu's, and he was just taking care of Li Mu. Not to mention the small fairy tower, the whole fairy city, isn't it all Li Mu's?
Mr. and Mrs. Chen Afu came to the kitchen and tried their best to show their skills. At this time, there were no guests coming to dinner at all. In the Dixian Building, it was like a family gathering that had been separated for a long time, which was very warm.
Seven-year-old Xiaofutian is also smart and easy to learn, but inherits the advantages of his mother Xiaoyue, and has no naivety of Chen Afu at all. Naturally, the two of them are very caring for Xiaofutian.
"Auncle En, why didn't Xiaoyue come?" Xiaofutian doesn't have the worries and troubles of adults, but he remembers his playmate gluttony Xiaoyue. In his eyes, Xiaoyue, like a pet puppy, is still a puppy that can always be a trick, and the little guy naturally loves it.
Li Mu also loves Xiaofutian very much and treats him as his little nephew. He has been identified since he was named at the beginning. Pinch Xiaofutian's little nose and teased, "Xiaoyue is sleeping, just like a frog in winter. He has to sleep for a long time."
Xiaofutian naturally knew the story of the frog's hibernation. After listening to Li Mu's words, his little eyes flashed a trace of loss, but he did not cry to play with Xiaoyue. He is an obedient child and knows a lot of truths at a young age.
Yang Xueyi saw Li Mu and Xiaofutian playing, so she quietly came to the kitchen.
"Mrs. Yang, why are you here? It's dirty here. Don't stain your clothes." Chen Afu saw Yang Xueyi and said quickly.
Yang Xueyi said disapprovingly, "It's okay. I followed you to learn cooking a while ago. I want to try it myself. Can you guide me by your side?" She was afraid that she couldn't do it well for the first time, so she asked Chen Afu and his wife to help her. She doesn't care whether her clothes are dirty or not. With her current strength, it is difficult to get her clothes dirty.
Seeing Yang Xueyi's insistence, Chen Afu and his wife didn't say anything. Especially Xiaoyue, who is also a woman naturally understands Yang Xueyi's practice and shows her cooking skills to her beloved, which is what every woman is willing to do. Otherwise, Yang Xueyi would not have studied hard for three months.
Yang Xueyi is very busy in the kitchen. Chen Afu is working next to her, and Xiaoyue is responsible for washing vegetables and cutting vegetables. When he came out to pick up the vegetables, he saw Li Mu playing with Xiao Futian in his arms and said anxiously, "Futian, why do you want your uncle to hug him?"
Xiao Futian was said by his mother and looked at Li Mu pitifully. He was a little reluctant to give up this feeling, but he did not dare to disobey his mother's words.
Li Mu smiled and said, "It's okay, Xiaoyue, as long as you like it again."
"Master, you spoiled him." Xiaoyue said happily. She thought Li Mu was the master in her heart, but she was the same as her relatives, because she knew that Li Mu didn't look at them at all.
