Most of the labor draft workers brought in had never seen Manbao, the village leader, though some happened to see her at the market that day.
Many people paused their work and secretly raised their heads to look at her.
Manbao glanced at the progress with satisfaction and then went to check the food. Zhou Wulang said, "The staple food includes buns and flatbread, three meals a day, each meal has a bit of meat."
The meat wasn't much, just enough to ensure they had some sustenance. Zhou Wulang, who had always sourced ingredients for his family restaurant, managed to buy a lot of meatless bones daily, which, once stewed into soup with some vegetables, tasted quite good.
The key was that he was willing to use salt.
