Chapter 367: A Strange Fire
He Jingjing immediately got dressed and opened the door to see who came to him so early in the morning and in such a hurry.
"Boss He, you've finally opened the door. The man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw He Jingjing come out.
He Jingjing saw that the person was very flustered, and her head was sweating, and she searched in her mind whether she had seen this person, and the answer was no.
"Are you?, why did you come to me?" He Jingjing asked as he looked at the man suspiciously.
"Boss He, I am a steamed bun seller on East Street, this morning the food street went out of the water, the fire is very big, Ye Liang has already presided over the merchants over there to put out the fire, I will come over and inform you as soon as I run quickly!"
After the man explained in one breath, He Jingjing was stunned.
"How can you walk in the water!" He Jingjing frowned and hurriedly asked.
"I don't know, I don't know where the fire came from at this time, anyway, the fire is a little uncontrollable, Boss He, go over and take a look!" The man sighed and said to He Jingjing.
He Jingjing didn't want the industry she worked so hard to run to be burned clean by a fire in the end.
Just like the lotus leaf building in the county town last time, God knows how desperate I was at that time.
It's just that he didn't show it, which made his family worried.
"Wait a minute. After He Jingjing left a sentence, she turned around and entered the room and began to call Ye Haixuan.
"Haixuan, Haixuan!" He Jingjing pushed Ye Haixuan again and again, calling his name over and over again.
"What's the matter?" Ye Haixuan asked He Jingjing in a daze.
"Hurry up, let's go to the food court, where the water is going, and the fire is very big. ”
He Jingjing's words made Ye Haixuan sober up immediately.
As a native of this dynasty, he understands what fire means better than He Jingjing.
So he hurriedly jumped up, got dressed, washed up casually, and followed the man who came to call the two of them out.
"Eh, where are you going this morning? Don't eat breakfast?" Seeing He Jingjing and Ye Haixuan running out with the comers, Ye Haixuan's mother hurriedly asked the two.
"Don't eat it, it's a bit urgent, you eat yours!" Ye Haixuan said to his mother without replying, pulling He Jingjing and running out.
"This kid. Ye Haixuan's mother glanced at the direction in which Ye Haixuan disappeared, and beckoned everyone to get up and drink porridge and eat.
"Jingjing, how could this catch fire? Is it a building material? Someone cut corners?"
In order to get to the scene as soon as possible, the two hired a carriage and rushed to the scene together with the boss who came to find them.
"No, I was the supervisor of the food city at the beginning, and I implemented every link, and the wood used was also ironwood, and it was also made of fireproof coating. ”
He Jingjing shook her head and replied to Ye Haixuan.
At the beginning, I personally watched the food city be built, and those materials were also carefully selected by myself based on the experience of the fire in the lotus leaf building in the county town last time, and there was a prefect behind him, and those construction workers would never dare to mess around.
Although the so-called "fireproof coating" cannot be 100% fireproof, and ironwood is wood after all, there is always the possibility of burning, but to cause such a large area of fire must be a very strong fire source.
Such as explosions, bombs.
But how can these things be in a food city? unless the fire is not a natural disaster, but someone deliberately did it?
He Jingjing thought of countless possibilities in her heart, but they were all overturned by herself one by one, and it seemed that if she wanted to know the truth of the matter, she had to go to the scene to see.
"Do you know where the fire came from?" He Jingjing asked the boss who came to call him again.
"I don't know, I didn't really see it when I arrived, someone kicked you out, the scene was full of smoke, and I couldn't see it clearly. ”
The boss sighed, it will take a lot of time for his bun to open.
No one wants to see this kind of thing, and He Jingjing's mood became very heavy.
Ye Haixuan held He Jingjing's hand, He Jingjing looked up at Ye Haixuan, and got some strength from Ye Haixuan's calm expression.
Although this person doesn't say it, he is willing to support himself by himself, He Jingjing feels that no matter what, it is worth it.
After silence all the way, the two finally arrived at the scene of the fire.
"Let me go! Boss He is here!" The man who sold the buns was very energetic and strong, and opened the way for He Jingjing in front.
At this moment, although there are officers and soldiers controlling the situation at the fire scene, it has become a mess, and many people are crowding forward to watch the excitement, after all, such a big fire has not been seen for many years.
The owners of those shops in the food court were naturally grief-stricken, and when they burned down, there was nothing left.
Those who don't have a shop secretly rejoice in their hearts, but fortunately they didn't come to catch lots to ask for a shop, otherwise it would definitely be a money-losing deal.
Although the rent charged by the food city is very low, it is also an expense anyway! He Jingjing, as a merchant, does not want to see this situation.
"This fire is indeed very big!" He Jingjing said to Ye Haixuan with a solemn face.
The eyes of the two focused on the most ferocious part of the fire, where the shops must not be saved, and there was nothing special about the location.
"Has the food street started to open these days?" Ye Haixuan asked He Jingjing.
He Jingjing nodded, since the last time the lot was drawn and the shops were divided, although many people were still decorating, a group of people had already started business.
"There are some, but not many. "Judging from the information in my hands, the ones that started business were all those steamed bun wonton shops, and the amount of fire needed was not large.
When building the food court, the kitchen materials were strictly controlled, and the kitchen of each shop was supervised by itself, so even if there was a fire, it would not be possible to burn such a large area.
What the hell is going on!
"Haixuan, I think this fire is unusual. He Jingjing took a deep breath and said to Ye Haixuan.
"Why do you say this?" Ye Haixuan asked as he looked at He Jingjing seriously.
"If you look at the area where the fire is most intense, all of them are relatively large restaurants, and the renovation inside has not stopped, let alone the fire cooking. ”
After saying this, He Jingjing coughed for a while, feeling like she was about to cough out her lungs.
Seeing that He Jingjing was uncomfortable, Ye Haixuan hurriedly covered He Jingjing's mouth and nose with his sleeve, took He Jingjing away from the fire scene, and breathed fresh air.
"We can't help with the firefighting before, so let's analyze the situation here. Ye Haixuan found some water for He Jingjing to moisten his throat.
As soon as he got up early in the morning, he came to this kind of place with thick smoke, and He Jingjing should be uncomfortable.
