Chapter 161: Porridge Shed Soup Kitchen
After Hai's understanding of the situation at home, he actually had the answer in his heart.
She asked her brothers and sisters-in-law to sit down around the round table, and said slowly: "Brother and sister-in-law, our family is actually the top in civil business. Have you noticed that in addition to the few families that have cooperated with us, there are still those royal families and enemies who have dealings in the early years, and they can help us speak this time? ”
They treat a few friends and businessmen well, and they often have the opportunity to come in and help them come in to get involved, otherwise how can the Wang family have the right to speak in the Chamber of Commerce today?
It's just that the farmer and the snake shine into reality, and this time it was the two of them who proposed it first, and asked the president to put pressure on him.
When it comes to these two, the faces of everyone in the Hai family are not very good-looking.
Hai snorted: "No matter what happens this time, our family will never be able to associate with this kind of person in the future." ”
"That's nature!" Brother Hai patted his chest on behalf of the others and promised.
But Hai's idea surprised him even more.
"Big brother, if we don't raise the price, we won't sell it like we do now, and it's thankless." Hai's fingers tapped on the table, his gaze firm, "How much food do we have left?" simply take them out and set up porridge shacks on the outskirts of the city to relieve those victims, so that the chamber of commerce can't point at us and scold. ”
"We've thought about this too." Brother Hai wasn't sure, "It's just that in this way, wouldn't it offend the Chamber of Commerce even more?" ”
Hai hadn't figured out how to be good yet, and he was in trouble for a while.
"No, it won't."
He Shaoguang listened to the corner of the table for a long time, and smiled slyly at his uncle and mother, "Don't we have ready-made backers?" Why didn't my uncle make a suggestion to Lord Xue, gain a good reputation, and it would be more convenient for him to act in the future. ”
By the way, with the back of the imperial court, is there a bigger tree than this?
Brother Hai is also a willing person, he thinks that this plan is feasible, and he doesn't feel sorry for this bit of silver, so he agreed: "Cheng, doing this can be regarded as accumulating virtue for our family." ”
Hai Laosan rubbed the back of his head, and said unhappily: "It's still that you two are smart, and we have been thinking about it like fools for a few days and can't help it, and I don't know how my father's cleverness has been inherited to my little sister." ”
Hai's third sister-in-law laughed at him: "My little sister has read, what about you?" When I touch the paper, I start to get sleepy, how can I compare? ”
He glanced at his son, who was eighteen or nineteen years old, and was as stunned as he was when he was young.
I couldn't help but start sighing.
When the third sister-in-law saw her stupid son, she also began to sigh.
Hai Yucheng didn't know what was wrong with his father, so he hurriedly cared: "Father, are you uncomfortable?" ”
"It's fine." Hai Laosan touched Hai Yucheng's head, which was taller than him, and secretly discussed with his wife: "You said that if Yuxin and Yucheng get married, we will also invite a gentleman for his baby in the future?" ”
Sister-in-law Hai agreed very much.
Money, it's almost enough to earn, especially for people like them who have money in their families, they still have to be clever so that they won't be bullied.
Lu Xiaowen was tired of walking, and saw an old farmer still working in the field, so he walked over and sat on the ridge to chat with him about his family's situation this year.
Knowing that there were five members of the old farmer's family, the youngest son left with the caravan because he couldn't bear the hunger, and bought a few bags of grain for the family.
But there was not enough food to eat.
He saw that some people in the village had begun to plant winter wheat, and although he knew that it was not good for the land, he couldn't hold back the little grandson's hunger and crying, so he discussed with his old wife, and began to go down to the field with the villagers.
The old farmer talked about his sensible youngest son and looked into the distance in silence.
On the endless fields, there are a few busy figures, and most of them are old and weak.
Lu Xiaowen has relatives in his heart, how many people in the capital were born in the house of Zhong Ming Dingshi, and they can't see the suffering of the people, so they don't want to see Yu Shiping.
And Xue Litai just listened to the orders of his boss, and put Lu Xiaowen first in everything, Lu Xiaowen didn't wait to see Yu Shiping, so he also distanced himself from the other party.
In the past few days, he has been walking on the road desperately to catch up with Lu Xiaowen and Xue Litai in front, and his round waist has lost a lot.
The Hai family actually decided to set up a porridge shed for free, which is undoubtedly great news for their people who are ordered to provide disaster relief.
When Brother Hai came forward to tell Lu Xiaowen about this, hoping that he could ask Xue Litai out, Lu Xiaowen's expression became a little serious: "Uncle is righteous." My nephew's visit to the affected villages and towns in the past few days is shocking, and now it is necessary for you and more grain merchants to stand up. ”
It really solved their urgent need.
Xue Litai set up porridge sheds in the seventeen counties of Dingzhou Prefecture in the name of the imperial court, and the Haijia grain shop was officially closed and sealed.
The guy from the Hai family was stopped by a long queue at the door, and an aunt hurriedly pulled him and asked, "Why don't you sell it?" I've been queuing for so long, so I finally bought it and closed it again! ”
"Are you going to raise the price too? Bah! To put it so nicely, it's not time to make black money! ”
The guy calmed the angry crowd: "Don't worry, don't worry! Our granaries are empty now, and there is really no grain to sell to everyone, not to increase the price, but to buy it. ”
"you, yesterday I saw that the back yard was still full!"
The guy was almost spit on his face, and said in his heart: "Auntie, don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet." All the food of our Hai family has been donated to Lord Xue sent by the imperial court for disaster relief, and a porridge shed has been set up in the county, so you just have to go and get free hot porridge! ”
When everyone heard this, they dispersed in an uproar.
Finally, no one pulled his arm and didn't let him go, and the man rubbed his arm that was about to fall apart, shook his head and went home to sleep.
I smelled the rice fragrance from the porridge shed at a long distance, and many people spontaneously lined up in a long line, and the people who received the porridge couldn't help but be dumbfounded, where is this porridge for disaster relief? It's thicker than what their family eats.
In addition to a bowl of thick and smooth porridge, you can also get another multigrain cake to cushion your stomach, and you can definitely eat enough.
And in order to prevent anyone from eating and coming to receive it, so that the people behind can't eat, it's still the same as the Hai family when they put grain, and one person can only get two bowls at most by virtue of his identity.
The aroma of the stove fire spread among the victims, and everyone held a clay bowl in their hands, cherishing the long-lost feeling of satiety.
Of course, it was also seen by the grain merchants of the group of chambers of commerce, and the person sent by the enemy family to inquire casually pulled a person to talk to at the back of the team, and when he heard that everyone was praising the Hai family and the imperial court, he couldn't help but feel weak in his heart:
When he went back, he had to be scolded by the old man.
He Shaoguang and Hai also stayed on a porridge shack, helping to divide porridge and multigrain cakes, the recipe of this multigrain cake was still taught by her, which not only saved food but also sweetened the tendons, and was absolutely full.
Raising his eyes to a little boy covered in ashes, he timidly reached out to her to ask for cakes, He Shaoguang smiled softly at him: "Here you go, take it and eat it." ”
