Chapter 397: Expediency
Qi Zhaodi is staying in her shop at this time, with her in charge, the order in the shop is maintained very well, and there is no such commotion.
The price of food remains the same as before in today's scarce world, and individuals buy it in limited quantities, and no one raises objections.
It's just that Qi Zhaodi looked at the inventory in the warehouse sent by the next person, and rubbed her temples with a headache.
"It's not good to go on like this." Qi Zhaodi said to herself.
The grain in the warehouse is only not in and out, and one day it will be gone, so what should I do when the time comes!
Just when Qi Zhaodi had a headache about this matter, Si Si's voice came.
"Eldest sister, I knew you would definitely stay in the shop." Si Si walked in with a big grin and sat on the chair opposite him, followed by Lu Yan, who was holding breadfruit.
"Don't you little lazy worm always be at home and don't want to come out? It's so hot today, how can you give it up? Qi Zhaodi looked at the person in front of her and quipped.
Si Si scratched his head a little embarrassed, "Aren't I worried about the crops in the field?" I just went to see it and it turned out to be ......"
Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted.
"Little sister, wait, this is not the place to talk, let's sit in the room." Qi Zhaodi hurriedly interrupted him, stood up, led the person to the back room, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief after closing the door, and looked at Si Si with some disgust.
Monk Si Si Erzhang was puzzled, and looked at Qi Zhaodi with a confused expression.
"Really, now there is a lot of panic outside because of the lack of food, and if you tell it outside, the crops in our fields will be destroyed, and if it spreads, there will be another riot."
Qi Zhaodi sighed lightly and said, "I don't know when the current day will end." ”
"I was careless." Si Si nodded and said with some guilt.
Her guilty look made Qi Zhaodi's already uncomfortable heart, and she felt even more uncomfortable.
"Okay, okay, did you come to me to talk about these things? Say, what's going on? Qi Zhaodi didn't want to continue to talk about it, so she changed the topic and said: "You have always been a person who does not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing!" ”
"I can't say that, I originally wanted to find the eldest sister and tell you about the crops in the field, but now that you know about it, there is nothing to talk about." Si Si took the breadfruit from Lu Yan's hand and put it on the table, and said, "This is the breadfruit I planted is just ripe, I ate it, it tastes good, and I specially brought it to you to taste." ”
"Oh? How come I've never seen this thing before, and is it really edible? Qi Zhaodi had never seen a fruit of this shape, and she was a little suspicious in her heart.
"Of course you can eat it!" Si Si patted his chest and said, "I just ate one in the Zhuangzi with my father-in-law!" You ask someone to take one into the kitchen, bake it in the stove for half an hour, and then you can eat it. ”27KK
"Is that so? Then I'm going to try it. ”
Qi Zhaodi called a guy and told him to carry one of the breadfruits to the kitchen and bake it.
"Eldest sister, tell me the truth, how long can the grain in our warehouse last?" Si Si looked at Qi Zhaodi very seriously, "I'm afraid that this season's grain will not be harvested, and I don't know if the grain in the warehouse can last until the next season." ”
"I'm afraid this won't work!" Qi Zhaodi sighed lightly, with a touch of sadness between her eyebrows, "I won't tell you that I'm also worried about this matter, the grain in the warehouse is only in and out, and it is decreasing every day, I feel panicked when I look at the numbers on this account book." ”
"That's it!" Si Si thought for a moment, and then said, "Is there only that rice in the store now?" Is there anything else? ”
"I also have some corn potatoes, but there are not many of them, and I don't know how long they can last." Qi Zhaodi thought about it for a while and gave an answer.
"I have a solution, but it may be a little difficult." Si Si said: "I have also planted a lot of taro and potatoes in the Zhuangzi, and now they have grown, so in the future, I will reduce the amount of rice and mix these coarse grains in it and sell them!" ”
"And things like potatoes and taro grow fast and fill their stomachs." Si Si proposed: "I think that there are many people who have not seen taro yet, and they don't know if taro can be eaten, and when selling taro, we can first make a plate of taro and put it aside, tell people how to do it, and then let people taste the taro that has been made." ”
"We can also write a special cookbook about how to make these ordinary whole grains more delicious, and bind them into a book and distribute them as gifts to customers who come to buy them."
"It can not only reassure the people, but also solve our current food shortage problem."
"It's a good idea." Qi Zhaodi thought about it and nodded, "That's it, I'll send someone to Zhuangzi to count it immediately, how many catties of potatoes and taro are all brought to it, and I will also ask someone to do the booklet, but it doesn't matter if it takes a few days, you can put the potatoes in the store and sell them first." ”
The two of them talked about other things again, and they talked for a while.
Qi Zhaodi seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and said to Si Si: "You wait for me to get something for you." ”
"What is it?"
Si Si watched Qi Zhaodi take out a box from the cabinet on the side, which contained a very good-looking bag and put it in front of her.
"You can open it yourself and see." Qi Zhaodi said with Guan Zi sold.
Si Si opened the bag suspiciously, and saw that there were black grains inside.
"This is a seed? But what kind of seed? Si Si poured out some and carefully observed it in the palm of his hand.
Qi Zhaodi, who was sitting on the side, said loudly: "I know you like these strange seeds the most, the merchant ships of the Qi family that have been trading abroad over the years have also been operating, these are the seeds they brought back, I don't know what they are, it seems to be something like a potato, but it is much larger than a potato, and the fruit has a layer of red skin and green leaves." ”
"The local natives all eat this as food, so I have some people bring some back, thinking of giving it to you as a gift, you must be interested in it."
