Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Plague of Insects
Under his influence, the other guests suddenly felt deceived and shouted for the return of the money.
Rao is Su Qin, who has lived for two lifetimes, has never seen this kind of scene, so he asked the guest next to him, "What is the situation?"
The guest sneered, "They're a big bully!"
After listening to this guest's detailed explanation, Su Qin understood. It turned out that this restaurant relied on its dealings with Yunyouzhai and attracted guests under the banner of Yunyouzhai. After stealing a few simple dishes from Yunyouzhai, he put them in the restaurant to sell. Many guests come to eat in the name of Yun You Zhai, only to find out that they have been deceived.
Su Qin looked at the scene in front of him with mixed feelings: It turns out that there were also high imitations in ancient times.
"Gu Niangzi, should we reason with them? They're deceiving customers under our pretence!"
The more the guy next to him looked, the more angry he felt, and he couldn't help but stand up and whisper. Behind him, there were a few guys who met in Zhenshan, and they also nodded.
Su Qin smiled faintly.
"There's no need, now they've learned their lesson. The most important thing to do business is reputation, and now some of them are busy."
With that, she led the people out.
Originally, I wanted to come to this restaurant to try the food, but now I look at this posture, I can't use it, so it's better to change it. The group found another small noodle stall and went their separate ways after eating. The guys sent the goods away, and Su Qin went to the new store rewarded by the system according to the address on the title deed.
The shop is located in the west of the city, it is a two-story building, Su Qin inquired from the neighbors, and said that there was also a restaurant here before.
She opened the door and went inside, it was empty, empty, and there was spider silk hanging in the corner.
If you open the Yunyouzhai branch here, it will inevitably need to be renovated. Other than that, the guy has to look for it again.
This is no small project!
Su Qin helplessly pressed the corner of his forehead, looked down from the second floor, and sighed in his heart: "Only this position is the most satisfying."
This new shop is in a great location, right on the busiest street in town.
Other than that, there are no competitors such as restaurants and taverns in its vicinity.
Su Qin made up his mind and stayed in the town to investigate. She wandered around town for two whole days in order to prepare for a battle, and it was not until the evening of the third day that she returned to the winery.
She put down her luggage and was just about to rest when she heard an anxious knock on the door.
"Bang bang bang, bang!"
Listening to this voice, it seems that things are in a hurry. Gu Nianlan had already fallen asleep at this time, and Su Qin didn't want to disturb her rest, so she hurriedly walked out and opened the door.
"Village Chief?"
When the door opened and saw the people standing outside the door, Su Qin was stunned.
What's important at this late hour?
The village chief was followed by several people from the village.
Now the village chief's face was full of solemnity, and a pair of eyes could faintly see a lot of red blood under the light: "Gu family's daughter-in-law, something big has happened in our village!"
When Su Qin heard this, his expression immediately became serious.
"Come in, don't worry, let's make things clear."
"No hurry, no hurry!"
The village chief took Su Qin's hand and walked out, as if his eyebrows were burning, "You come back to the village with me, let's talk on the way!"
The group hurried back to the village at night.
On the way, Su Qin finally understood what had happened. It turned out that a group of locusts flew from the village somewhere, and it happened that the vegetables they planted were gnawed! The villagers tried to save themselves when they found out that the situation was wrong, but the locusts could not be stopped when they crossed the border, even if they mobilized the whole village to catch them, they could not remove them all.
Seeing that most of the vegetables that had been taken care of were gnawed away by the locusts, the people in the village really couldn't find Su Qin.
"Let's go and see in the fields!"
Su Qin listened to it and immediately made a decision, and the group had just returned to the village from the town, and they didn't even have time to drink saliva, so they rushed directly to the field. new
「
The locusts are here!"
"I've got that here!"
Su Qin approached a field, and sure enough, he saw locusts gnawing on vegetables. In addition, there are green worms, mulberry worms, armyworms, etc., which are all field pests. These insects are so numerous that it is impossible to catch them with human hands. It's no wonder that the villagers are so desperate, and the vegetables are almost all eaten by the pests.
"Woo woo, what can I do, all the vegetables I grew have been eaten!"
Not long after the group walked into the field, they heard the sound of crying.
It was an aunt in the village who sat on the ground and howled, tears and snot fell together, crying very badly.
The people who comforted her on the side were also wiping their tears. This insect is fierce, I'm afraid it's going to be gone!
The village chief sighed and explained to Su Qin, "This aunt's family believes that you will buy vegetables, so they will clean up all the fields that should be used to grow food and plant vegetables instead. Alas, now that there is a plague of insects, her family will suffer the most damage, and if it continues like this, their family will not even have the money to buy food."
Su Qin's heart was sour, she originally wanted to help the people in the village get rid of poverty and become rich, but she didn't expect to harm them.
This is the ...... She also has a responsibility.
Because of the insect plague, all the people in the village who could move ran out and tried to catch the insects, so that at the third watch in the middle of the night, the fields were still bustling.
Su Qin walked over, and everyone's eyes were focused on her.
She cleared her throat and said, "Don't worry, it's my idea to plant vegetables instead, and I'm half responsible for the disaster that the villagers suffered today. Although I, Su Qin, am not a rich and noble person, I still have the ability to help everyone."
The fat aunt was also in the crowd at this time, and hurriedly stood up after listening to Su Qin's words.
"Gu family lady, how can I blame you for this? Insect plagues are natural disasters, and even if you don't grow vegetables and food, you can't avoid it."
The village chief also stood up: "Yes, in the final analysis, you are also for everyone, and this responsibility is not yours, so you don't need to be responsible." Speaking of this, the village chief bowed his head in shame.
"Speaking of which, the folks still can't stand you."
"The delivery date was clearly set, but there was a disaster, and the goods could not be delivered on time. Gu family's daughter-in-law, you are doing business outside the door, will this have an impact on your business?"
Su Qin's face was surprised.
She found that the villagers seemed to have changed a lot.
Obviously, when she first came, they were still bitter, but now it is different, the vegetables they grow are infested by locusts, and their own harvest cannot be guaranteed, but they are still thinking about the promise of that day.
Faced with this situation, Su Qin said that it was impossible not to be moved.
She raised her head and smiled at the villagers: "You folks, don't worry about me, I have other ways to solve the problem of vegetable supply. But you, the problem of locusts is imminent, and we have to find a way to solve them first. Do any of you have a good idea?"
The villagers, you look at me, I look at you, and they shook their heads.
Only a seven or eight-year-old boy walked out of the crowd.
"I have a way!"
