Chapter 134: The buckwheat is ripe
Shen Lan did not wait for Shen Xiaoquan to come back in the Shen family, because she was not worried about the children in the family, Shen Lan still rode back to Yuanjiaji, before dark Shen Lan returned to the rented courtyard, Yan Niang prepared food for her, Shen Lan asked Lao Guo Tou during this period, and Lao Guo Tou said that he had not seen the girl Shen Lan said had come to Yuanjiaji.
In fact, Shen Lan also felt that it was impossible for Shen Lian to come here, so since the girl had made money, how could she throw herself into the net? After asking, Yan Niang also brought the meal, Shen Lan slept after eating and washing, originally thought that she could have a good rest today, but Shen Lian's matter happened, and she ran around all day, making herself tired.
After waking up, Shen Lan had breakfast, and began to prepare the ingredients to bring to Shiweixuan, Shen Lan asked Lao Guo Tou to put the carriage on, and then pretended to go out of the town to collect vegetables, and drove the carriage to the hidden place outside Yuan's house, Shen Lan hid in the carriage, and then took the vegetables out of the space, and finally drove the carriage back to Yuan's house, and at the same time dragged a cart of vegetables back.
"The hostess is here." The carriage stopped, and Zhao Yuan immediately ran out of the house after recognizing the carriage.
Shen Lan got down from the carriage and said with a smile: "Ask Ah Fu to come and move the vegetables, this cart is loaded with vegetables for the past two days, you can move in." ”
"Okay." Zhao Yuan hurriedly entered the house, and Shen Lan stood outside waiting for someone to move the vegetables, and at this time, the shopkeeper Xu also came out of the house.
"Boss, what is the purchase price of this dish?" Shopkeeper Xu asked with a smile, Shen Lan had already drawn up the price before, so he replied: "This cart of vegetables cost three taels of silver." ”
Shopkeeper Xu also knew that the price of vegetables was relatively expensive now, and it was not easy for Shen Lan to drag a cart back, so he replied: "Boss, you will come to me to pay for the vegetables later." ”
Shen Lan nodded, Shen Lan took a sum of money to the shopkeeper Xu as working capital, mainly to pay for ingredients and staff salaries, and to buy ingredients on weekdays to pay to him, although Shen Lan is the proprietress is not listed, in addition to vegetables and chickens and ducks in the carriage, since the shopkeeper Xu is watching outside, Shen Lan naturally entered the store.
After a while, Zhao Yuan and Shen Fu unloaded the dishes on the car, Shen Fu drove the carriage into the backyard, Zhao Yuan and Xu shopkeeper also entered the house, Shen Lan was checking the hygiene of the store, and when he found something inappropriate, he commanded the rough Xu to clean it again, and when he saw the Xu shopkeeper come in, he walked to the side of the Xu shopkeeper and said: "Xu shopkeeper, I'm going to trouble you these days, something happened to my mother's house, and I will clean up and go back to my mother's house for a few days when I go back." ”
"Okay, don't worry, there is me in the store, but can you let the vegetable seller send the food over, every time you go to purchase, now it's inconvenient for you to go, isn't the store going to run out?" Shopkeeper Xu said, even if it is usual, it is not easy to buy vegetables now.
"It's okay, I'll ask Lao Guotou to deliver food to the store, after all, to ensure that there are enough ingredients in the store." Shen Lan opened her mouth and said, it's not that she doesn't want people to send it, but that she has something unspeakable.
Shopkeeper Xu didn't say anything, just took the money to Shen Lan, took the money Shen Lan went to the back kitchen and instructed Chef Liu and Feng and Xiangling a few words, before Shen Fu drove the carriage out, and then drove the carriage back, first let Lao Guo Tou clean up the carriage, and then packed up the baggage with Yan Niang and sat in the carriage with the stones, and instructed Lao Guo Tou to lock the gate and courtyard gate, as for Xiao Hei, he got into the carriage with him, and sat next to Lao Guo Tou, who was driving the car, and the group went out of Yuan's house to Linchun Village.
When I returned to the village, I was surprised to see Shen Xiaoquan at home, looking like he was ready to harvest, didn't he say that he was looking for Shen Lian? What's a situation now?
"Dad, Shen Lian has found it?" Shen Lan got off the carriage, Yan Niang behind her also hugged the child down, and Lao Guo Tou was busy unloading the carriage.
"Don't mention that beast." Shen Xiao roared angrily, and then asked, "Why did you come back?" Don't you have to guard the shop? ”
"I entrusted it to Shopkeeper Xu, so come back and see if I can help." Shen Lan replied.
Shen Xiaoquan glanced at the two people behind Shen Lan, took Shen Lan's hand to the side, and then lowered his voice and said, "Lan Niang, that's an outsider, how can you be so trustworthy, such a big shop is completely left alone." ”
Shen Lan silently rolled her eyes in her heart when she heard this, if she wasn't worried about her family, wouldn't she use the shop that opened just after she left?
"Dad, aren't you worried about you and my mother? Besides, Mei Niang is not lightly ill, and Shen Lian doesn't know her whereabouts, so I can't say anything if I don't come back to help. Shen Lan replied, "By the way, is Mei Niang awake?" ”
"You kid, my father is talking to you seriously, hurry up and give me a good look, your second sister has woken up, but she is still a little weak." Shen Xiaoquan also knows the eldest daughter's thoughts, to say that he now also feels that the eldest daughter's wings are hard, and she can spread her wings and fly high, and he doesn't need to continue to care for it at all, this time the family suffered such a big blow, Shen Lan gave his wife five taels of silver without saying a word, it would be wrong to say that he didn't have any ideas.
Although her daughter has the fairy law in hand, it is easy to get money, but these days have been dragging her down, and I feel a little uncomfortable, I used to think that I can back up my daughter, but now it is good, not only always rely on my daughter to make up for it, but also lose all the money that my daughter has earned so hard, and the loss is not a star and a half, a full fifty or sixty taels, not counting those jewelry, this is usually only afraid that he will not be able to make so much money in his life, and now he is lost, not only the money is lost, but also ran a girl.
"Dad, there is a shopkeeper Xu for those things, don't worry about it, I see that you are going to harvest, the buckwheat is ripe?" Shen Lan asked.
Shen Xiaoquan nodded and replied: "Yes, now that the sky is dry, and the buckwheat is half cooked, I am thinking about taking it back, as for your third sister, let her go, stealing so much money from the family, I think I can live a good life, my father feels sorry for you, you got the money back." ”
Saying that, Shen Xiaoquan couldn't help but reddened his eyes, he had worked hard all his life, and he couldn't make so much money, but now he was stolen by Shen Lian, if there wasn't a family waiting for him to feed, he would want to die.
"Daddy." Looking at Shen Xiaoquan, Shen Lan couldn't help but redden, snorted and held back the sourness in her heart, and persuaded herself: "If you don't bring money in life, you won't bring it in death, you can still earn it in the future, don't be sad, besides, it's going to rain in the sky, and the mother wants to get married, Shen Lian and she want to run away, and we can't control it, right?" ”
Shen Xiaoquan was silent, but his whole expression was a lot sluggish, his cloudy eyes were moister than ever, but he endured the bitterness in his heart, refusing to let people find out that his strength was just a disguise.
"Okay, dad knows, you better go back, there are me and your mother at home, don't worry about it, take care of your restaurant, now the world is not peaceful, this god doesn't know when it rains, you are optimistic about the door on weekdays, when my father went to look for the evil animal, I saw a lot of homeless people on the road, saying that they came from the north, the north is even drier than ours, you should be careful when you open a restaurant." Shen Xiaoquan was silent for a long time before he said something to Shen Lan.
Shen Lan had gotten the news from Yuan Tian before, and had already communicated the news with Shopkeeper Xu before, and at this time she was told by Shen Xiaoquan like this, and she was a little vigilant in her heart, the homeless or something, she had also seen it on TV and novels in the past, and knew that they were all farmers who had suffered from disasters, so she left her hometown and went all the way to the wealthy area.
According to Shen Lan's own mentality, in fact, she really wants to help these people, but after all, her ability is limited, and she doesn't want to get into trouble, Shen Lan herself is not smart enough, she has always known, but it doesn't mean that she is very pure and stupid, if she wants to put aside the peaceful and prosperous world like her original world, she will definitely donate materials and money to help the compatriots who have suffered from the famine, but in this era, Shen Lan will not dare, not long after Shen Lan came here, Shen Zhao once said that a family rescued the homeless, and the whole family was robbed.
Therefore, in order to avoid encountering the homeless people who hate the rich, Shen Lan feels that it is better to plan early, and this drought does not know how long it will last, and in addition, don't count on the government in such a situation, after all, this era is not Shen Lan's original world, human life is like a mustard, and there will be no humanitarian relief at all.
The ancients said: Rather be a peaceful dog, not a troubled world, in any turbulent time and space, there will be no paradise on earth, now Shen Lan's time and space, although the country is not in turmoil, but the world is not benevolent, and all things are dogs; The saints are unkind, and they use the people as dogs.
Heaven refused to have mercy on all things, and the drought sent down to wither, and the beasts and insects could not survive, and the superiors could not understand the feelings of the people, and instead of thinking of help, they increased taxes to exploit the peasants, and finally forced the affected peasants to leave their homes and wander around, and finally became displaced people who caused social instability, and the scourge was caused by the ruling class.
It is precisely because of these reasons that Shen Lan cannot be selflessly kind, kindness is not praised at this time, but the root cause of disaster.
"Dad, it's okay if you let me go back, it's better to leave Lao Guo Tou and the carriage, one more person will also have more strength, I will go back and send Shen Fu, Xu Pozi, and Feng Pozi over to help harvest the wheat in the field as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams, and don't worry about renting, this day is dry, and I don't know when it will rain, don't sell the grain I have harvested, keep it for my own food." Shen Lan didn't insist on Shen Xiaoquan's words, the world is not good, and she didn't want to close the store she had finally opened.
Shen Xiaoquan thought about it for a while, and then nodded cautiously and said: "Okay, you don't need to send everyone over, everyone is here, whoever does the work in the store, it is better to send Shen Fu over, no matter what, he is also a laborer, and he is always a little more useful than those women and children." ”R1152
