Chapter 586: No work is equivalent to no food

Feng Qingbai is gone, and the days still have to go on.

A few days later, the imperial decree arrived in Yunzhou, and at the same time, there were 800,000 taels of disaster relief funds allocated by the imperial court.

Liu Zhixia was even more busy with his feet not touching the ground.

Liu Yusheng, Qian Wanjin and others also couldn't think of idleness, the winery in their hands needed to be reorganized, because of the flood, the orders received in their hands could not be completed, and the transaction was interrupted for a while.

It needs to be supplied as soon as possible.

At the same time, the workers at the brewery also urgently need to work to earn money in order to survive the disaster.

They have hundreds of families in their hands, waiting for them to feed.

When I'm busy, I don't even have time to spend with my family.

The children were so tired that they didn't have the strength to sit up straight, and the old couple of the Liu family saw it in their eyes and felt pain in their hearts, and they changed the law every day to make them good food.

In addition, there is a pregnant woman in the house, and the two elders discussed with the kitchen, and the dishes they cooked were mainly based on supplementation.

It's just that Yunzhou has just gone through the flood, and there is no vegetable to buy in the vegetable market.

The chickens, ducks and geese that could be seen everywhere in the past could not be found, and they had long been washed away by the flood.

Even pork is very rare, and as soon as it is put out, it will be coaxed and snatched up, and if you go a little later, you can't buy anything.

Worried about the two elders.

On this day, after the children went to sleep, the two elders returned to the room.

Old woman Liu sat on the bed, frowning, "The flood has passed. Old man, how long will it take for this day to return to the way it was? ”

Old Man Liu said helplessly, "A big flood washed everything away, and if you want to restore it to its original state, it won't take half a year to recover at all, so you can only boil it slowly." ”

"You have to boil it, but if you look at the children who are tired like that, they have been working hard for half a month, their chins are sharp, and they are so busy that their feet don't touch the ground every day, how can they go on like this? We have to think of a way, we can't help with anything else, we can't even give them a table of good dishes to eat, so what's the use of our two old ones staying here? ”

Old Man Liu furrowed his brows when he heard this, and thought for a while, "Do you want the two of us to go to the countryside for a trip?" Let's see if we can get some game or something. People in the mountains don't have food to eat, so they will go to the mountains to hunt, and they should be able to receive some good things back. ”

"That's right," the old woman's face lit up, "why didn't I think of that?" Then let's go tomorrow, if someone sells it, it doesn't matter if it's more expensive, let's buy it back! You didn't look at the radish stewed cabbage tonight, and Xiao Jinzi's face turned into a vegetable when he ate it. ”

The old man nodded, "Okay, Ming'er, let's go on a trip, now the two of us are the most idle in this mansion, even Yuzheng has a big belly, and discussed with the people of the four major families how to help Zhixia reduce the burden, the two of us have lived for decades, can we compare to the children?" ”

The matter was decided, and the next day, after the children in the family went out, watching Fu Yuzheng fall asleep, the two elders quietly groped out the door.

It's not that they want to be sneaky, it's that the children watch them closely, saying that there is nothing to be done outside, and there are many displaced refugees and beggars in the city, wandering around, and it is very chaotic.

I'm afraid that the two of them will bump into each other when they go out, or encounter something, so they rarely let them go out by themselves during this time.

If the children knew that they were going to go to the countryside to collect game, they would not want to go out of the yamen.

The streets were still full of people, but there was no smile on everyone's face, and there was a gloomy cloud between their eyebrows.

In the corners of the streets and alleys, beggars and homeless people are piled up in twos and threes, nested in the corners of the walls, their eyes hollow, and their expressions numb.

Only when someone approaches, there will be a faint light in the eyes, and when the person walks by, the light will fade again.

Staying in Fucheng for more than half a month, this situation is already commonplace, but when the two elders see it, they still feel that it is not a taste, and their hearts are depressed and uncomfortable.

"It will slowly get better in the future, and our family Zhixia and the children will definitely build the city better and more prosperous than the original. After this catastrophe, Yunzhou will definitely be able to adjust the wind and rain. The old man's voice was low, and he didn't know if he was comforting the old woman or himself.

But the children's efforts for Yunzhou, they all see it, and they believe that there will be a day.

At this time, Liu Yusheng, Qian Wanjin, and Shi Xianrou had just arrived in Luxi Village.

Because they had to reorganize the winery and restart work, during this time, they had to go back and forth between Fucheng and Cangwu Town almost every day, gathering the heads of various villages to discuss the next plan.

The flood washed away everything that could be washed away.

Houses were destroyed, poultry were washed away, and no crops survived. It is the tenacious rice of Xinghua Village, the rice seedlings survived, but the rice ears on the rice stalk were also washed away, and only a bare stalk remained.

There are also medicinal herbs used as raw materials in the brewery, all of which are soaked in water and rot and become moldy. The tea tree was not spared, and even the root system rotted.

If you want to reopen the brewery, you can't do it without materials.

So I gathered the big guys to discuss, and for the time being, I bought materials from other states to deal with the present.

Although this would greatly increase the cost, it would be better than having no work to open and the workers in the winery would have no work to do.

"I have ordered a batch of tea from Yuzhou, and I have stepped up work in the past few days. As for medicinal materials, they have to be purchased from major pharmacies. We won't be able to raise enough for a while, so we'll have to take it slowly. Liu Yusheng said, by the way, asked the village chiefs, "Have the repairs to the damaged parts of the wineries been completed?" ”

Village Chief Luxi nodded, "It's already been repaired." All the people in the village helped to work together, and in a few days the brewery was restored to its original state, and it was just waiting to start work. ”

If you don't have work, you don't have anything to eat.

The workers have been in a hurry for a while.

As soon as I heard that as long as the winery was reorganized, I could start work, and I helped with all my strength to complete the repair of the winery as quickly as possible, and now I am waiting for the two owners to say a word.

The same is true for other villages.

Liu Yusheng nodded, "Then the time will be set for the day after tomorrow." At that time, the raw materials will be transported directly to the brewery. ”

Hearing this, several village chiefs were overjoyed and nodded frequently.

"Okay, we'll start work the day after tomorrow!"

After discussing with the village chiefs, there was still some time, Liu Yusheng, Qian Wanjin, and Shi Xianrou took a carriage to the village wineries to have a look.

After determining the specific situation of the completion of the repair, you can be more assured.

After all, it is a house that has been blistered, and no matter how strong it is, there will be hidden dangers.

The workers are all working in the brewery, and if something happens, it will threaten the lives of the workers.

This kind of thing must be avoided altogether.

During this period of travel, Shi Xianrou followed them.

When Feng Qingbai returned to Beijing, she did not go back with the same province and stayed in Yunzhou temporarily.

When inspecting the winery, the three of them worked together, Liu Yusheng and Qian Wanjin were responsible for inspecting the walls and corners, and Shi Xianrou was responsible for the roof.

By the time the three of them had inspected several wine rooms, it was already nightfall when they returned to Fucheng.

Liu Zhixia has just come back from a busy day.

Several people met at the gate of the yamen and went home together.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard a commotion inside.
