ps: The second volume has begun, wahaha, Taibao is here to ask all brothers and sisters to continue to support Taibao, accompany our Hou Ye, and finally sincerely ask for a recommended ticket collection, bow and thank you!
After a good night's sleep, when I woke up in the morning, the outside became a white expanse, and the goose-feather-like snow fell from the nine heavens one after another, drowning the entire Chang'an City in a white world.
On the rooftops, on the treetops, the yard was covered with thick snow, covered in silver, and the white was dazzling.
The housekeeper Zhang Lu is directing the people to shovel snow in the yard, and the snow is still falling one after another, and several people's heads are covered with snow.
Zhang Lu is a distant relative of Mrs. Qin's mother's family, has been living in Lao Qin's house, is a trustworthy person, this time Zhao Chen bought a house, just happened to lack a housekeeper in the house, Lao Qin sent Zhang Lu over.
The house is warm, the charcoal fire in the stove is burning, as early as a few days ago when the house was renovated, Zhao Chen asked the craftsman to build a fire wall in each room, and asked the blacksmith to cast the stove.
However, the furnace that was cast was ugly, so Zhao Chen simply threw it into the space-time supermarket, and then bought the stove from the space-time supermarket, and then sent it to Lao Qin's family.
This snowy day is not suitable for going out, and Gewuyuan is fine anyway, Zhao Chen explained to Zhang Lu, and after lighting all the houses on fire, he fell asleep in the warm quilt.
At noon, the heavy snow finally stopped, Zhao Chen got up and washed his face, came to the front hall slowly, lazily lay down in the chair, and after a while, a maid brought breakfast, a big bowl of whistle noodles that had just been served, plus a small plate of pickles, Zhao Chen picked up the bowl with peace of mind, and ate it with a snort.
I don't know when it started, Zhao Chen suddenly found that he had begun to enjoy this kind of depraved life of stretching out his hands for food and opening his mouth, which is probably from thrift to luxury!
While eating, I reviewed myself in my heart, a big bowl of noodles went down, and my mouth was wiped, and I was ready to go back to the study and practice calligraphy for a while, his ugly calligraphy has been scolded by Sun Laodao many times, and if I don't work hard, it is estimated that more people will be scolded in the future, and it is not cost-effective to think about it.
It's just that as soon as this butt left the chair, he saw Sun Simiao, who was covered in snowflakes, coming in from the door, and came straight to the front hall where Zhao Chen was with a gloomy face.
Something happened! This is the feeling that Zhao Chen had when he saw Sun Simiao for the first time, this old man's face has never been so gloomy, unless he encounters something that makes him angry, he will show such an ugly face.
"Full?" Sure enough, as soon as Sun Simiao entered the front hall, he glanced gloomily at the dishes on the table that had not yet had time to be collected, and asked in an unkind tone.
"Dao Chief, what kind of fire are you making early in the morning?" Zhao Chen quickly stood up in fright, and told Zhang Lu to call the kitchen to give Sun Simiao a bowl of noodles, and specially instructed not to put onions and garlic in it.
As he spoke, he couldn't help but pull Sun Simiao to a chair and sit down, picked up a towel to wipe the snow off Lao Dao's head, and didn't know what happened, he made himself like this!
"Money!" Sun Simiao was pulled to a chair by Zhao Chen and sat down, put a box in his arms on the table, and said loudly to Zhao Chen: "Poor Dao has nothing to grow in his life, only a few prescriptions in this box are worth some money, but unfortunately people can't look down on it, and you won't look down on it, right?" ”
It's serious! Zhao Chen knew that the box contained a part of the gold square, which was the hard work of the old Taoist for half a lifetime, but now he had to take it out and exchange it for money.
"Don't worry, tell me what's going on?" Zhao Chen hurriedly picked up the medicine box, stuffed it into Lao Dao's arms, pulled over a chair and sat opposite Lao Dao, looked at Lao Dao with a solemn face and asked.
"The house is collapsing! Grain has also been deducted! When the old Taoist heard this, he suddenly raised his head and took a long breath, then turned his head, stared at Zhao Chen with red eyes, and said: "Thousands of people, standing in the snowy day at this time, this morning, patronizing to beg for help!" ”
Zhao Chen knew who the thousands of people in Lao Dao's mouth were, when he was on Chang'an Avenue and his mind was almost lost, Lao Dao tried to pull him to meet those people, who were a group of people who had really experienced the cruelty of war, crawled out of the pile of dead people, and survived.
Over the years, Lao Dao has been taking care of these people, usually living in Yongpingfang, Wannian County, and living by the food allocated by the imperial court every month, but who knows that last night's heavy snow crushed all the houses over there.
After Zhao Chen heard what Lao Dao said, he opened his mouth in surprise and fell silent for a while.
No wonder Lao Dao was so angry when he came in, he still had to burn the stove in the warm room, but the thousands of people could only stand in the ice and snow, and the adults were just adults, but there were children inside.
At this time, the heavy snow has just fallen, and the weather has not completely turned cold, and when the snow begins to freeze two days after tomorrow, it is really called the cold and the ground is frozen!
"Probably... How much does it cost? Zhao Chen sat there for a while, and suddenly raised his head and looked at the old Taoist opposite and asked.
It's just that the words came out, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly, it's useless to ask the old man about this matter, the old man's head is full of prescriptions, it's better to estimate it yourself.
If a house with a thousand people is crushed, if a room for five people is worth 200 rooms, and the cost of a room is calculated as a constant amount, then it will cost a full 200 yuan, which is also a large amount.
But fortunately, this is all within the scope of what you can afford!
"Dao Chief, what did you say earlier about deducting grain?" After calculating the cost of the house, Zhao Chen remembered that Lao Dao had said that the grain was deducted, and suddenly asked strangely.
As soon as Sun Laodao heard Zhao Chen ask about this, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, and he endured it for a long time before he swallowed the cursed words, raised his head and took a deep breath, then looked at Zhao Chen and said: "Today should be the day of food distribution, but I didn't expect that the people who received food in the past only received only half of the food. ”
"So be it!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he thought for a while, looked at Lao Dao and said: "Daoist, you will go to the household department now to inquire about the grain, the kid will go to raise money first, and the kid will go directly to Yongpingfang after a while!" ”
When Sun Simiao heard this, he naturally didn't have any objections, and he didn't ask Zhao Chen how to raise money, knowing that it was in vain to ask, he couldn't raise the money, and he couldn't return it to Zhao Chen in the future, so he simply didn't ask.
Sending Sun Simiao away, Zhao Chen immediately came to the study of the back house, pushed open the heavy bookcase, revealing a dark compartment below, opened the dark grid, and a metal lockbox appeared in front of him, and the box contained Zhao Chen's most precious thing - time and space supermarket.
Two hundred yuan is really not much of a problem for Zhao Chen, if you take out a random thing from the space-time supermarket, you can sell one hundred, and if you use a little means, it will not be a problem to sell thousands of yuan.
Last time the Gewu Institute built a house, Zhao Chen asked Hu Lu to take a piece of glass to sell, but now that the glass has returned to the eldest grandson, Zhao Chen will take out the glass to sell again, it is a little too much, after all, people are also the queen of the Tang Dynasty!
If you can't sell the glass, then the music box! If this thing is taken out, it will have to be exchanged for at least more than 500 pieces, which can just solve the problem of food and accommodation for thousands of people over there at one time.
To do good deeds, there must be no beginning and an end!
I just bought a music box from the space-time supermarket, put on a thick robe, and just walked out of the gate of Xinghuafang, and when I was about to walk towards Dongshi, I happened to meet Lao Qin who came back from the upper and lower dynasties.
Unexpectedly, Lao Qin listened to Zhao Chen's plan, and turned on the spot with a tiger face, and scolded Zhao Chen with his head and face. There is nothing to say about this kind of thing Sun Simiao to do others, Sun Simiao is a monk, and the four monks are empty, and doing this kind of good deed is said in the past.
But Zhao Chen is different, this kind of thing is good to say, it is doing good deeds, and if it is ugly, it is grandstanding. Even Your Majesty can't help with this matter, but you have full authority over yourself, do you have more ability than Your Majesty?
Zhao Chen was speechless when he was scolded by Lao Qin, and it was inevitable that he was a little angry in his heart, thousands of people were standing in the ice and snow at this time, since no one came out to care, and he happened to have the ability to help, but he ended up in a grandstanding.
However, Zhao Chen knows that Lao Qin is also for his own good, if you change to someone else, what do you like to do, if you die, you have a half-dime relationship with him, and you can afford to spend this spitting star?
"Then Uncle Qin, what do you say? You can't just watch those poor people freeze to death! Zhao Chen felt a little angry in his heart, and he couldn't help but have a little anger in his tone.
"You ask the old man, and the old man asks who to go?" Lao Qin is also angry, he has a lot of troubles on his hands now, so he has time to think about other things.
"But somebody has to do it!" Zhao Chen sighed, looking at the white world in front of him, the matter of the house must be hurried, otherwise when the snow melts ice, it will not be able to be built.
"Whoever else does it, the old man doesn't care!" Lao Qin glared at Zhao Chen, and said in a stern tone: "However, if you kid dares to take care of this matter, then don't blame the old man for being polite!" ”
After Lao Qin finished speaking, he commanded the coachman with a tiger face, left Zhao Chen alone and stood on the street, ignoring it and driving towards his own house in front of him.
"Fuck, what's this called!" Seeing Lao Qin's frame leave, Zhao Chen stood alone on the street for a long time, and suddenly raised his head and scolded angrily.
As soon as this sentence fell, a snowflake fell from the nine heavens, and happened to fall on Zhao Chen's eyes, turning into a tear and slowly flowing.
It's snowing again! Holy God!
