Chapter 84: Natural Disasters and Rumors
Wu Zheng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Don't listen to grandma's nonsense, these fritters and preserved egg porridge were made out for my aunt when I went down the mountain this time, I didn't want to see my aunt washing clothes in the river every day for a few pennies in the winter, but I really didn't expect these two things to sell so well."
If you open a few more stores and make them into chain stores, it doesn't seem like a problem to make a fortune. ”
Seinfeld didn't know what a chain store was, but she could hear that Wu Zheng meant that she wanted to make the restaurant bigger, and if it became bigger, she had to hire people, but even Xiaoying Xiaolan's two little girls and grandmothers didn't allow them to come to the restaurant to help, let alone others.
So Seinfeld said, "Don't think about it, grandma won't agree." ”
Wu Zheng nodded and said: "I know, so if we want to get rich, we have to rely on the industry in the mountains, and only when grandma thinks that this restaurant is nothing more than that, can we talk about the chain store again." ”
Seinfeld said: "The industry in the mountains, but how much food can we make in the barren mountains and mountains of Shenmu Mountain, even if we grow it, it may not be enough for us to eat ourselves, and then we will have to go down the mountain to buy grain, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to realize the wish of the local owner who wants to farm." ”
Wu Zheng smiled slightly: "Since we are already good people now, how can we do it without planting some land?" Didn't you see that in our good papers, the government also allocated land to us? As long as we reclaim it ourselves, it will be considered our own, you said that with such good conditions, if we don't plant the entire Shenmu Mountain with grain, how can we be worthy of this document?
As for your worries about not being able to grow food, you can rest assured, we will not only plant grain all over the mountains in the future, but we will also open a workshop in the village, you must know that our Shenmu Mountain is a business road! It would be a pity not to take advantage of such good geographical conditions.
In the future, no matter whether we are reeling silk or making wine, as long as there is that business route, we will not be able to sell it. I promise that in less than five years, our Shenmu Village will definitely become the richest village in our entire Great Zhou. ”
Hearing Wu Zheng's grand words, Seinfel's eyes were also full of longing, but these plans sounded like the capital was not very reliable, but if it was said from Wu Zheng's mouth, Seinfeld would not have a little doubt.
Because Xianggong's wisdom is unpredictable, if nothing else, let's just say that the court restaurant he made casually can achieve the point of making money every day, as for letting the barren mountains grow food, others will not be able to do it, but his own Xianggong will definitely be able to.
Seeing that Seinfeld was finally comforted, Wu Zheng hugged her in his arms and said, "Okay, today is not as good as Auntie's morning restaurant, let's go shopping today, and by the way, we will go to collect debts." ”
"Debt collection?"
"That's right! There is an old man surnamed Huang who still owes your father-in-law two hundred taels of silver! It's been half a month and I haven't seen it, so how can I do it if I don't urge it. ”
"But this side ......"
"Isn't this side just sour by you? When the time comes, just put it in it and mix it with some alkaline water, and give it to your aunt and she will be fine. ”
Seinfeld looked at the noodles in the basin incredulously and said, "It's that simple? ”
"How hard could it be."
"But why didn't you say it earlier, so I thought that all this flour was bad and I couldn't eat it, and I poured it out in the past few days."
"It's okay, anyway, our family doesn't lack this amount of money now."
"But if I hadn't poured this flour into the river, it would have been able to fill the stomachs of more people, and even if we hadn't sold it for money, maybe someone would have survived because of the flour for the victims outside the city." But now I've thrown them all down. ”
"Alas...... I told you you couldn't do these things, and now you finally know! ”
"But ......"
Seeing that Seinfeld had red eyes again, Wu Zheng had no choice but to pat her on the shoulder and comforted: "Okay, we have disaster victims in Yuzhou every year, you really can't see those victims suffering and want to save them It's not something that these pots of flour can solve!"
As long as we succeed in growing food in the mountains, then our entire Yuzhou and even the entire Shuzhong grain will definitely be doubled, and even if we can't make our Yuzhou no longer have disaster victims, it will definitely be no problem to reduce it by half, so it will be more meaningful than your pots of flour. ”
"Really?" Seinfeld raised her head and looked at Wu Zheng, looking like a helpless little girl, not a decisive mountain king.
Wu Zheng said with a smile: "Of course it's true, in our Great Zhou, all the land that is cultivated by ourselves is our own, this is not the privilege of our Shenmu Village, but the welfare that every Great Zhou people have."
And the reason why those people outside the city will become disaster victims, this year's poor harvest in Jiangnan is only a small part of the reason, what really makes them disaster victims is because they have no land, as long as we can successfully grow food in the mountains, and then give this method to them, they will naturally go to the mountains to open up wasteland and have their own land, with land they can be self-sufficient, as long as we do not suffer disasters in Shuzhong in the future, they will not become disaster victims. ”
finally coaxed Seinfeld home, and after handing over the pot of sour dough to his aunt, Wu Zheng led Seinfeld out of the door.
The two did not go directly to Huang Xing's hospital, but first went to the bustling market, these days, under the discipline of her grandmother, Song Feier has suffered a lot, Wu Zheng took her out to go shopping today just to let her relax.
Although it is snowing today, the market in Yuzhou City has not become deserted because of this snow, on the contrary, the first snow in winter has also made the elegant talents and beauties in Yuzhou City have the taste of going out to enjoy the snow.
As for the shivering victims outside the city who were frozen in the shacks, their tragic situation was naturally not within the scope of their appreciation, so there were no people who went out of the city to enjoy the snow, everyone either went to the flower street or went to the river, the painting boat is still flowing as in the past, the sound of the piano is endless, and the talents are in the cabin to Jiang Xue chanting poems against each other, which is completely a peaceful scene in the world.
Now the unpleasant people in Yuzhou City, in addition to the victims outside the city, may be Huang Ji in the Assassin's Mansion, didn't his house be burned by Zhao Yi a few days ago!
This can be said to be just an accident, because Zhao Yi wanted to burn the Tian family instead of the Thorn History Mansion separated from the Tian family, although it was implicated, it could only be regarded as a man-made disaster.
But some people want to make it a natural disaster, saying that the yellow sky is about to die, the blue sky should stand, and the sky will send down the red lotus fire to burn down the thorn Shifu who does not do good deeds is the best Zhengming.
Some people even said that they had noses and eyes, saying that day he saw a huge fire lotus appear in the sky above the Thorn Mansion, and nine fire dragons flew out that could not splash the water and burned the Thorn Mansion into a white ground.
The Thorn Mansion was indeed burned down, but it was not because of any fire dragon, but the first batch of seventeen or eighteen people from the water dragon team who came to the Thorn Mansion actually pushed three empty cars over, and there was no water in the water lover at all, and when they filled the water dragon car with water and ran back, the daylily was cold.
So Huang Ji, who had no assassination mansion, moved to Longtan County, and he was furious at such rumors in the hall.
Who told them to be frightened by the monstrous fire when Huang Ji ordered the whole city to be arrested that day, so they did this thing like a military disaster, which made the people not resent them.
With this resentment, coupled with the victims who have no food outside the city, it is not natural for people who want to make a living here.
It was snowing heavily, and Huang Xing, who was afraid of the cold, lit a large charcoal basin that could smoke people to death in the infirmary, and the thick curtain was pushed open......
