Chapter 496: All kinds of hot pots are arranged
The development of things is the same as Zhao Xiaoxi's assumption, when the pin is sold as a new product, the girls and mothers-in-law in the whole capital are boiling.
But on the day of the new year, Zhao Xiaoxi was still in Fengle Town, and his father-in-law and his two cubs were reclamation on the back mountain of Fengle Village. She had bought 200 needles from the Internet, and now they have all been delivered to supermarkets in the capital.
As for the sales situation, Zhao Xiaoxi doesn't care much. Anyway, now the hope card is multi-habitat development, and it doesn't matter if you sell a few pins less. She happily ran from one end of the greenhouse to the other end of the greenhouse, looking at the green cabbage inside, she was called a beauty in her heart! It is better to grow vegetables in greenhouses, natural disasters or something, and the impact on the green plants in the greenhouse is relatively small.
Two dolls followed the vegetable farmer, each holding a Chinese cabbage in his arms.
"I heard that there is a famine in another place." Mrs. A didn't know where she heard the gossip, so she pulled the weeds in her hand and said in detail, "There are many places where the harvest is not good, and the rice cannot be harvested, and I heard that there are no leaves to eat." β
"Where?" Zhao Xiaoxi felt a "sigh" in his heart, and glanced at the man twice, "When I was in the capital, I didn't hear of this kind of thing." β
"The big officials in the capital eat and drink every day, where will they care about the lives and deaths of the people? It seems to be in Pingling County, but I haven't been there, and I don't know if it's or not. It's better for us here, although this year's annual success is really not good, but you have made up the greenhouse vegetables and given the big guys new rice seeds, otherwise we would not be so good here. β
The key is that most of the people in Suiyang County are working on the Hope brand, and they have a few pieces of silver in their pockets, where can they not buy food and drink? Coming and going, no matter how bad the harvest in the field is, they will not starve to death.
Hearing this mother-in-law speak so directly, Zhao Xiaoxi blushed for those big officials in the capital. Also, they are in high positions and eat the money of the court. On this day, I didn't dare to do anything, I just entertained myself.
The song in the capital is singing every night, giving people a feeling of peace in the prosperous era, who knows that there are still some places where the people can't even eat? It's probably about the same as when Zhao Xiaoxi first arrived in this era.
"It's about to go through the winter, why don't you have anything to eat?" Zhao Xiaoxi frowned, and sympathized with the poor people in Pingling County from afar.
Pingling County was in the northernmost part of the Great Xia Dynasty, and it was already snowing heavily at this time. They don't have to eat or drink, aren't they just waiting to die in the ice and snow? If this news is true, it will be too scary.
"Who knows? The magistrates over there are all fat and oily. Mother-in-law B also lowered her voice and shook her head again and again, "It's better for us to be here, not only does Little Lady Zhao protect us, but our parents are also benevolent." β
When going down the mountain, Zhao Xiaoxi passed by the fish pond and swayed around the side twice. I didn't expect Ah Niu and them to be talking about Pingling County, which should be the hottest issue at the moment. This news has spread all over the small Fengle Village, why is there no news in the capital?
Seeing Zhao Xiaoxi and them coming, Ah Niu hurriedly greeted them. is still that naΓ―ve look, touching the round head, "Little lady Zhao, Second Master Xiao, come to see the fish?" β
"Knowing that you raise fish well, what is there to see?" Zhao Xiaoxi was also happy, leaned over to the pond, and glanced at it.
The fish inside have grown quite big and swim around freely. They had to catch the fish and sell them before winter came.
"I heard you say about Pingling County just now, is it true?" Zhao Xiaoxi puffed out his mouth and raised his head, "Is there really a famine?" β
"Little lady Zhao still doesn't know about this?" Ah Niu seemed to be very surprised, and looked shocked, "This matter has been spread in Suiyang County, I thought that Zhao Xiaoniang, you are in the capital, and you must know more!" β
No, no, no, the more you are in the capital, the more you don't know anything.
Zhao Xiaoxi's heart was congested, and he sighed, "Probably because the news in the capital has been blocked, no one has mentioned this stubble at all." β
"Then the people of Pingling County, won't there be no one to take care of?" Ah Niu was enthusiastic, and when he heard that there was not even the slightest rumor in the capital, he immediately became anxious, "The big officials in the capital don't care?" The emperor doesn't know that he won't be able to help the big guys? β
"Li'er is this Li'er, but this kind of thing, we ordinary people can't do anything." Zhao Xiaoxi always felt that something big was going to happen, and gossiped with Ah Niu and them for a while, and then hurried back to the town.
Originally, they were going to stay in Fengle Town for a few more days, but since they had heard rumors about the famine in Pingling County, they couldn't watch the fire from the other side.
Zhao Xiaoxi also discussed with the two cubs, knowing that the two of them were having a good time in the town, and he was really embarrassed to forcibly bring the two back at this time.
Children also have human rights!
After listening to Zhao Xiaoxi's explanation, Xiao Yu and Xiao Tong seemed to be very sensible, and sat on the bench on the side obediently, "Mother, why don't anyone care about the people of Lingjun who are about to starve to death?" β
"Because they're irresponsible!" Zhao Xiaoxi stretched out his hand, touched Xiao Yu's little head, and sighed, "If everyone is a good official, then there are not so many poor people in this world." β
"Mother, then let's go to the capital to report to the official, shall we? Xiao Yu didn't want to see people starve to death. Xiao Baozi blinked his eyes, his eyes were red, as if he was about to cry.
Xiaotong on the side couldn't sit still, and was filled with righteous indignation, "Aunt Xi, why can those villains be officials?" Isn't being an official supposed to be good to the people? Why should they do this? Sir said that everything should be done with the people first, why don't they do it? β
Grandma's, dare to love the ideological consciousness of that group of people is not as high as a little doll? Zhao Xiaoxi hugged the soft bodies of the two cubs, "They are all rare silver, I don't think the people are important!" β
"Mother, let's go to the capital early!"
"Good!" After the family discussed, Zhao Xiaoxi hurriedly hired a carriage and went to the capital early the next morning.
Judging from the discussion among the villagers, the people of Pingling County are now in dire straits. It's just that when Zhao Xiaoxi and the others fell to the capital, they still saw a peaceful scene. Zhao Xiaoxi felt a chill in his heart just by looking at it.
Thanks to the lack of reaction from those in power, I don't know how they can withstand the condemnation in their hearts. If those people in Ling County died like this because of their inaction, wouldn't they feel tormented?
Officials protect each other, and it is not difficult to guess how dark this officialdom is.
A few people went back to the Hou Mansion first, and Zhao Xiaoxi looked at the pile of orders piled up on his desk and had a headache. Part of it was from ready-to-wear orders, and more of it turned out to be a hot pot order at nine o'clock.
According to a rough estimate, there are 70 reservations for butter soup base hot pot alone. Originally, the restaurant was quite big, but it was full every day, many big officials, giants, and people had to do business, and there were more dinners.
Looking at the appointment time, it turned out that it was all scheduled for the new year. How much do you like to eat hot pot? Zhao Xiaoxi counted the silver, and collected more than 800 taels for the deposit alone, and she checked the account book again, ready-to-wear, cosmetics and even jewelry, all of which had a large amount of money.
Sure enough, there are still a lot of rich and noble people in the capital, and they are willing to spend so lavishly.
"In the past two days, the guy from the ready-to-wear shop has also come once, saying that there are many girls who still want to order velvet dresses." Wu'er entered the door with tea and fruit snacks, and saw Zhao Xiaoxi looking at the account book, so he mentioned it again by the way.
Velvet skirts? Zhao Xiaoxi's brows furrowed even tighter, "Did you take the reservation at the end of the garment shop?" β
"Nope." Wu'er smiled again and stood in front of Zhao Xiaoxi, "Didn't the young lady tell the ready-to-wear shop before she left, as long as it is a ready-to-wear reservation form of scarce fabrics, don't take it casually?" The guys all remember your orders and just came over and said something. β
"Wu'er, are there any rumors about the famine in Pingling County in the capital?"
"Pingling County?" Wu'er obviously hadn't heard of this name, tilted his little head, and looked puzzled, "No, where is Pingling County?" Is there still a place for famine? β
Sure enough, Wu'er is just like her. It is naΓ―ve to think that the Great Xia Dynasty is peaceful everywhere, even if the places are not as prosperous as the capital, but there will always be no one hungry. As everyone knows, this peaceful and prosperous world is whitewashed by those redundant officials and redundant personnel.
"Naturally, there is." Zhao Xiaoxi sorted out the orders, stood up, and stood up, "The business of the restaurant is so good now?" Just the hot pot is scheduled for next year. β
"After all, we have so many types of hot pot bases, and it's normal for big guys to like it!" Wu'er was unhappy when he saw Zhao Xiaoxi like this, and his mind was full of question marks, shouldn't he be happy when this business is good? Wu'er was beating a drum in her heart, and she thought again, could it be that her young lady had suffered some grievances in Fengle Town?
A certain woman stopped squeaking, and when Xiao Jingrui came back from Song Guangfu's study, she hurried to the restaurant with him.
The restaurant is overcrowded, and this is not a meal, there is such a grand occasion. Zhao Xiaoxi didn't dare to think, when it came to dinner, would there be a place for idle people to settle in their restaurant?
The two of them went straight into the private room from above, "The people of Pingling County don't even have a mouthful of food, but almost all the dignitaries in the capital have a hot pot." β
"I've already mentioned it to my father." Xiao Jingrui held Zhao Xiaoxi's hand and smiled dotingly, "The lady is a benevolent and righteous person, and it is common to see others suffering and suffering." But this is not a trivial matter, and we can't help it. Dad has already sent someone to investigate, once confirmed, immediately report to the emperor. There is also a troublesome matter, which is related to the lady. β
