077 Fateful Encounter (Seeking Powder)
Shang Jinxiu has thought about it, but now that it is autumn, the weather is gradually getting cooler, and after two months of winter, the weather will be colder. As soon as the weather is cold, the dishes are easy to be cold, and it is inconvenient for guests to use. She planned to wait for the cold weather to launch the hot pot. The bottom of the pot can be made with several kinds, which are nutritious and hot to eat.
There are many mountains in Qingshan County, and there are many animals on the mountains, but in winter, almost all the animals hibernate, and it is not easy to hunt game. It happened that Li Shuhua had three granges, and Shang Jinxiu discussed with her to raise more poultry and livestock in the grange, so that they could be supplied to the restaurant in winter.
Not only that, but she also pulled Lan Qi and took the guards into the mountain together. She wanted to do this for a long time, but she was too young to let Li Shuhua rest assured that she would enter the mountain. Now that she has Lan Qi, with her guards, and some local hunters, Li Shuhua is naturally relieved.
On this trip, Shang Jinxiu found a lot of good things. Not only did I find several commonly used spices, but I also found some edible mushrooms. The pepper tree she found was the thickness of an adult's calf, and she didn't know how long it had grown in the mountains. The trees were already full of fruit, some of which were dried up and had a nice red glow.
Shang Jinxiu asked the hunters who followed, and learned that the people here didn't know each other, and no one usually picked peppercorns from trees. She asked people to dig up the tree and transplant it to Li Shuhua's grange.
Several other spices were in a similar situation, and Shang Jinxiu was not polite, dug up all the things he found, and transplanted them to Li Shuhua's grange.
Although there are many things that are produced in the mountains, not all of them are available, such as chili peppers and peppers. Shang Jinxiu searched almost all the mountains but didn't see them. She took out the seeds of several spices from the space, pretending to be sent by a flying whitebeard grandfather. And he drew a plot of land in the grange and planted it.
Li Shuhua and Shang Shigong both know that there are still many masters in this world, and they have very powerful skills. Coupled with Lan Qi's existence, he didn't suspect that 'flying white-bearded grandfather', but was just curious about his purpose in giving Shang Jinxiu seeds.
It was Lan Qi, who was very distressed for a while because of Shang Jinxiu's lie, and wondered which master the 'flying white-bearded grandfather' was.
The seeds were planted, and Shang Jinxiu didn't know if Lu Dao could grow, after all, it was already autumn, and the time was not right. It's just that she is busy trying to drum up all the usual spices to improve the taste of the dish. can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
Two months have passed in a blink of an eye, the days are getting colder, and the business of the restaurant is not as good as before. After all, the weather is freezing, and when the cold wind blows on the body, it can make people shiver with cold.
Shang Jinxiu had ordered a batch of cushions and chair covers early in the morning, and now they are just changing them, and it is warm and comfortable to sit on. The copper hot pot she customized was also done, and the pot was also embossed, with different styles. The patterns and shapes are different. The center of the pot is like an inverted funnel, which is a special place for the charcoal fire.
The soup is divided into several types and boiled with different ingredients, which is fragrant and nutritious. Shang Jinxiu also gave different auspicious names. It makes people like it just by hearing the name.
Because of the cold weather, many people are too lazy to go out. In order to promote, Shang Jinxiu launched a takeaway. It's just that the price of takeaway is slightly more expensive than eating in a restaurant.
Many of the seeds that were planted before germinated, but I don't know how long I have to wait if I want to bear fruit. There are not many spices that Shang Jinxiu can use. There's a lot of stock in the space. She gritted her teeth and pulled some out of the space. He also lied that it was given by the 'flying whitebeard grandpa'.
Lan Qi is very suspicious of this, she knows that there are quite a few white-bearded masters, but who would be so boring? Li Shuhua and Shang Shigong were very uneasy, but no matter what they thought, no one would have thought that Shang Jinxiu had a spatial ability and a space that could hold things.
Shang Jinxiu also knew that the ancients were not fools, if it weren't for the existence of 'light skills' and 'martial arts masters' in the world of Lu Dao, she would not have taken this risk at all.
There are a lot of mountain treasures in Qingshan County, and they are particularly fresh, boiled in the soup, and the taste is called a fresh! As soon as the restaurant was cooked, the fragrance spread far away, attracting many customers.
Shang Jinxiu also changed the signboard of the restaurant, and changed the name to 'Yipin Xian', and the taste of the dishes was delicious, and it soon became famous.
He Yunqi was very anxious, the people she sent to Lu didn't find anything in the mountains, so she could only stare at Shang Jinxiu's movements. Shang Jinxiu dug some trees in the mountains, but Shang Jinxiu dug up everything, and she couldn't find anything when she sent someone to look for it!
Although she also thought of launching hot pot in winter, she was not as thoughtful as Shang Jinxiu, and she didn't think about raising more livestock in the grange at all! As a result, the spices did not arrive, there were not many livestock in the grange, and although the hot pot was launched, the taste was far inferior to the 'Yipin Xian'!
In order to attract customers, He Yunqi had to negotiate with Zhang Xiuhua to lower the price, so that there would be business, but there would be less money!
Looking at the scene of the booming business of 'Yipinxian' and the overflow of customers, He Yunqi felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
Zhang Xiuhua is quite satisfied, although it took a lot of money to decorate the restaurant and decoration, but now it has earned back, and there are more, there can be a lot of income every month, which is much better than the days when only in and out of the past!
She even felt that she could hold her head up in front of He Liu's family! Even He Yuanfang used to ignore her, but now every time she goes back to He's house, she will give her a smile and say good things to her. For what? Isn't it that she can have a lot of silver every month now?
He Yunqi is not reconciled, she still thinks that she can rely on her 'foresight' to snatch the business of 'Yipinxian', how can she be so willing? It's a pity that the chef of 'Yipinxian' didn't know what kind of ecstasy he had eaten, and he was loyal to Li Shuhua and Shang Jinxiu, she promised a large sum of silver, and the chefs in it refused to jump ship!
She knew that 'Yipinxian' must have used the spices that Shang Jinxiu found, so she wanted to get it, but she couldn't think of a good way.
As the days passed, the snow fell in a fluttering manner, and the weather became colder. The hot pot sold in the restaurant is very popular, and many passers-by feel cold and are willing to go in for a meal to warm up. Or some people who are too lazy to go out, so they send someone to the restaurant to order a pot and take it back to eat.
Shang Shigong has been frowning for the past few days, worried that the snow will collapse the house, so every day there is a government official responsible for patrolling the village in Qingshan County, and if the snow is accumulated on the house, he will help sweep it down.
It was all the time, until one day, a team of more than 200 victims suddenly poured into Qingshan County.
After Shang Shigong got the news, he was worried that something would happen, so he hurriedly found a place to resettle the victims and distribute food. It's just that there is a place, and there is still a lot of food in the treasury of the county government, but clothing has become a problem. Along the way, almost all the things that these victims could use were replaced with food, and there was nothing of value on them. is only wearing a torn jacket, not keeping warm at all, and all of them are frozen blue.
Shang Shigong asked and learned that these people were all from neighboring counties. Because of the heavy snowfall, the houses collapsed and the family's poultry and livestock died. Originally, they didn't have much food left at home, and they couldn't survive when the house collapsed. The county lord didn't care, they heard that the Shang county commander of Qingshan County was a good official, so they came over to try their luck.
Shang Shigong was worried about how to settle these people, and after Shang Jinxiu learned about it, he thought of a way for him - to raise donations! It is okay to donate money and materials, and the donated things are recorded in detail in the account book, and notices are posted to post the specific use of these goods. Not only does it help those who do good deeds to make a name for themselves, but it also reassures them that things are being used in practice.
Shang Jinxiu also took the lead in donating silver, and 'Yipinxian' used up a lot of livestock every day, and the remaining bones could not be used up at all, and the good ones were picked out and boiled into the soup base, and the rest was almost thrown away. Now Shang Jinxiu has also donated these to make soup for the victims.
Although it is just some bones and no meat, the soup boiled out is nutritious, which is better than simple coarse noodles and steamed buns.
Shang Shigong thought that the idea was good, so he sent trustworthy people to go door-to-door to collect donations, and posted notices to explain. However, in one day's work, the people donated a lot of things, and the victims were able to dress warmer and eat more.
It was only the next day that many victims came one after another. Shang Shigong felt that the situation was wrong, and after asking, he learned that there was a turmoil in the neighboring county of Ludao, and the county order sent people to suppress it by force, and several people died. Many of the victims gathered and prepared to re-establish the county government.
Some people were worried about the disaster of pond fish, so they took refuge in Qingshan County.
Shang Shigong felt that the situation was not good, so he sent people to the neighboring county to inquire about the situation, and the news reported back really said that the neighboring county was in chaos. Shang Shigong did not dare to slack off, he was worried that Qingshan County would be affected, so he sent officials to guard the entrance of Qingshan County, so as not to let people with ulterior motives in, which would affect the people of Qingshan County.
At the same time, he also specially repaired the book to the prefect and explained the situation. After sending the letter out of Lu, Shang Shigong waited for a reply with trepidation.
Although the number of victims is increasing, the people of Qingshan County have not been affected much. Shang Shigong was afraid that something would happen, so he specially sent officials to patrol, and once there was trouble, he would arrest him.
On this day, after Shang Shixun broke up with a group of fox friends and dogs, he took a carriage and prepared to go home. Just as he was squinting and napping, the coachman suddenly exclaimed, and then the carriage came to an abrupt halt.
Shang Shixun didn't pay attention, and hit the carriage directly and woke up in pain. He rubbed the painful place and lifted the curtain and scolded: "What's the matter? ”
The coachman immediately apologized, stretched out his hand and pointed to a person in front of the carriage and said, "Second master, this person ran out suddenly, the little one was afraid of hitting him, so he had to pull the horse back, are you okay?" ”
Shang Shixun poked his head out, frowned and looked over, only to see a person lying on the ground. After just one glance, he saw that the other party was a woman, just wearing a man's clothes, looking tattered, as if he had fled.
He didn't want to pay attention to it, but at this moment, the people on the ground suddenly raised their heads and looked over. When Shang Shixun saw her face, his head exploded. (To be continued......)
