Chapter 326: Soup kitchen

On the way down the mountain, Shen Yuyu didn't forget to say to Bai Yixue: "When the time comes, we must send more people to the Western Regions Snow Mountain to find out if there is such a crop that can grow in such a cold place, and the entire Western Regions can be cultivated."

"Yes." Bai Yixue also nodded affirmatively, "It takes two or three years to raise cattle and sheep to be slaughtered, if there is such a cold-tolerant crop in the Western Regions that can be planted, then the entire Western Regions will be saved." '

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Night King will definitely be able to exchange this crop for the greatest support and benefits from the King of the Western Regions." Shen Yuyu secretly sighed as he spoke, fortunately, there was no such crop as barley in the Western Regions of this overhead world.

And this crop is of great significance to the alpine region of the Western Regions, once the seed value is diffused, it will become one of the staple foods of the entire Western Regions.

The two chatted and went down the mountain, seeing that it was still early, and were about to pack their felt bags and leave.

At this time, more than a dozen men came down from the mountain, led by the village chief of Hakun, followed by the village chiefs of the other four villages.

Seeing that Shen Yuyu and the others were about to collect the felt bags, the men ran over without saying a word: "Let's come~~ Let's come."

The village chief of Hakun said, "Shen Dadong, they know that you haven't left yet, so they have to come over to express their gratitude to you." ”

As he spoke, several village chiefs took out cloth bags, and there were more or less cordyceps lying in them, and Shen Yu had to accept them.

Shen Yuyu was embarrassed to accept it, and waved his hand again and again: "The four village chiefs listened to me, I really didn't help everyone, it was the village chief of Hakun who helped you, and distributed the food to you, just remember his kindness."

"Without the big dong family to raise so much food, the head of Hakun village is also powerless, thanks to the big dong family, thank you to the villagers of Shenjia Village." Shen Yuyu didn't accept it, but everyone didn't follow it, so Shen Yuyu had no choice but to accept it.

The men over there had already packed up the felt bags, and the group went down the mountain.

Shen Yuyu looked at Ha Kun and the others: "A few village chiefs, I'm afraid this locust plague is not a day or two, just waiting for the grass on the grassland to grow out to raise cattle and sheep, this process is too long, you can't survive so long without food, don't you consider planting potatoes?"

The village chief of Hakun shook his head: "Everyone has tried to plant potatoes before, and the seedlings are so small as their fists, and the potatoes they grow are smaller than their fingers, so they are useless."

Shen Yu was depressed for a moment, estimating that this genetically modified potato has geographical restrictions and is not tolerant to high cold.

"It's almost autumn, and the locusts shouldn't come again, right?" Shen Yu asked as he looked at the grassland without a hint of green.

"I don't know." The village chief of Hakun shook his head helplessly, "There was a round more than ten days ago, and the grass just sprouted a little tender tip and was eaten by them, alas. ’

Several other village chiefs analyzed, "In the past few days, the sun is hot during the day, but it is suddenly cold at night, and the temperature difference is very large. “

"As long as there are no locusts, everything can be planted, and it is not so easy to go hungry." Everyone is full of hope.

The head of Jishui Village answered: "Just plant radishes and Chinese cabbage, sell them if you can, and use them to fill your stomach if you can't sell them." It can indeed be used to fill the stomach, but the nutrients of radish and Chinese cabbage cannot be used as a staple food, and eating it for a long time will also cause problems.

Shen Yuyan thought for a while, "At that time, after your radish and cabbage are produced, all the radishes and Chinese cabbage needed by all the restaurants in our world commercial bank will be purchased from you, not to mention that all of them can be purchased, half of them should be no problem." “

Shen Yueu is not a virgin's heart, but the radishes and Chinese cabbage grown in the alpine region will be particularly sweet and crisp, and the taste is much better than that of the Central Plains.

Of course, the main thing is that few people in the Central Plains grow radishes and Chinese cabbage.

There is no spicy cabbage in the restaurant in Lingzhou City, and the Chinese cabbage required by Fengming Restaurant is still worth the vegetable farmers next to the county seat of Shenyong Road, and the price is relatively expensive.

Therefore, it is also a win-win situation to buy radishes and Chinese cabbage that they grow.

Shen Yuyu has long wanted to make an appetizer side dish, sweet and sour spicy radish, as long as there are radish raw materials, then this pre-dinner hors d'oeuvres will definitely be loved by diners.

Hearing this, several village chiefs were extremely moved.

"In this way, you can sell turnips and cabbage for food, and you won't be afraid of not being able to survive this winter." The village chief of Hakun raised his dark face, full of hope.

After returning to the village chief's house, Shen Yuyu signed a deed with several villages to purchase the radishes and Chinese cabbage they planted, and they only had half the price of the Central Plains, and refused to add anything.

Shen Yuyan naturally would not do this kind of profiteer, and he would naturally have to buy it at a fair market price.

To put it mildly, the deed was signed at a price lower than the market price, and a deposit of 100 taels of silver was given to each village.

After it was done, under everyone's farewell, the village chief of Hakun took a boat to send Shen Yuyu and them back to Dazhou.

After getting off the boat in Dahe Town and saying goodbye to the village chief of Hakun, Shen Yuyu prepared to send the three secret guards away and told them to go back to Lingzhou City.

The first is that Zhang Neng will be here soon, and the second is that the secret guards are secretly protecting her in secret, which is very hard and unnecessary.

According to her and Bai Yixue's kung fu self-preservation, there is absolutely no problem.

In the end, the dark guard named Shadow Fei made a few moves with Shen Yuyu, and the two fought a draw, and then the secret guards had nothing to say, and honestly took a boat back to Lingzhou.

Shen Yuyan and Bai Yixue went out of the wharf of Dahe Town, and saw many refugees getting off the boat along the way, and they didn't know where they came from.

Shen Yuyu was also emotionally moved when he saw it, and decided to send a letter to Li Ran as soon as possible, telling him about the discovery of a crop called barley, and seeing how he could negotiate with the king of the Western Regions.

Not to mention anything else, the influx of so many refugees into the territory of Dazhou will also cause chaos.

On the way to Boholdo, the streets were lined with refugees from the Western Regions who were selling their children and daughters, and the children stared at the passers-by with hungry eyes and longing eyes, which was poignant.

"Quick, go to the west of the city, the county magistrate is giving porridge there."

Suddenly, there was a commotion among the refugees, and they rushed to the west of the city.

"Shen Dadong~~ I finally found you." Before he reached the door of Baohetang, he met Master Li walking quickly.

"What's the matter with Master Li?" Shen Yuyu stopped and looked over.

"Lord County Commander is seeking a way to resettle the victims of the disaster in the Western Regions, and wants to ask Shen Dadong's family to come over and come up with ideas."

Shen Yuyan lamented that there is no shortage of Qing officials in Sun County, and there is great love for the world. answered and followed Master Li to the west of the city.

Four cauldrons in the west of the city were boiling porridge, surrounded by three or four hundred refugees from the Western Regions, one by one with broken bowls in their hands and lined up to receive the porridge.

If it weren't for the potatoes that the Great Zhou planted everywhere that the locusts did not eat, the people who are now seeking a way to live are the people of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Comparing hearts to hearts, people can't help but be touched.
