"......" Yin Xiuxiu held the gong bucket placed in the corner with red eyes, and her stomach was tumbling.

When the maids who were guarding near the courtyard saw her like this, they lowered their heads and did not dare to look at her.

"Concubine Su, the subordinates are not detailed enough, in short, Yin Xiuxiu's face at that time was like swallowing a dead fly, how ugly and ugly it is, I guess she has the heart to kill Mu Yuehua." Xie Yingle was loyal to all the gossip of Yin Xiuxiu, and his eyebrows danced with high interest.

"She's also met a nemesis." If you really deal with shameless people, you have to come to an even more shameless one.

Yin Xiuxiu and Mu Yuehua, these two people didn't know who killed the deer in the end.

'Knock knock knock ......"

"Concubine Su, can the slave come in?"

It's the voice of Yi Huan.

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Yi Huan entered the room with a plate of pastries, "This is the Beili pastry that the slave maid just made, you must be hungry when you wake up, eat some to cushion your stomach." ”

As soon as she said this, Su Qingyan really felt a little empty in her stomach, "Well, you've worked hard these two days." ”

"Anyway, that's what a slave should do." After Yi Huan finished speaking, he looked at Xie Ying, who was standing aside, "Sister Xie Ying, you can eat some too, there are many more in the kitchen." ”

"Okay." Xie Ying didn't say anything polite to her, picked up a piece from the plate, and threw it into his mouth, "It's really delicious!" ”

"If you like it."

Since the launch of the Beili cuisine, the business of Nanpinglou has become hot again, and the prince has nothing to do even if his eyes are hot.

"Concubine Su, there is something that the slave doesn't know whether to say or not."

"Huh? What's the matter? ”

"Just now, when the slave was busy downstairs, I saw that many diners were coughing. The food on their table was very light, not like they were choked or something, could it be that some disease was contagious? ”

Su Qingyan frowned slightly, "How many people are coughing?" ”

"There are at least three or four out of ten, and the slave maid is not a doctor, so she doesn't dare to judge lightly, so she didn't mention it to Boss Sun."

"Well, this matter is very important, just pretend that you don't know anything."

Every time after the spring rains, many people will be infected with the wind cold, and the transmissibility is still very strong, to put it bluntly, it is like a modern viral cold.

It's just that in previous years, it was a small-scale outbreak, so it didn't attract attention. If the situation is really as Yi Huan said, three or four out of ten people cough, then it will be troublesome.

"Concubine Su, the epidemic is not trivial, should we take defensive measures in advance?"

"Don't do anything yet, lest you cause panic. I will send a message to the Medicinal Diet Workshop first, so that Xia Lan can add a little more medicinal materials to the medicinal diet to improve resistance. ”

"Yes, the slave listens to Concubine Su."

All kinds of infectious diseases throughout the ages have been extremely serious and must not be taken lightly.

Before Su Qingyan returned to Su Mansion, he specially instructed Sun Yecai to burn wormwood and pour white vinegar to disinfect after the business closed every night.

"Concubine Su, it's so decent, why do you want to get these?"

"We are in catering, and we are responsible for the guests by carefully disinfecting every day." This makes sense, and I will let the people below do what you say. ”

"Hmm."

After the order, Su Qingyan took Xie Ying and Yi Huan back to Su Mansion together.

She waited patiently in the room for a long time, wanting to discuss a countermeasure after Lu Tianhui came back, but she didn't expect that he stayed in the Ministry of Rites tonight and did not return home.

The next day, Su Qingyan slept groggily until noon before waking up, and heard the bad news before he could get up.

"Concubine Su, something is wrong, many people in Kyoto City have a high fever, and even an elderly woman has passed away due to illness."

"What?!" Yesterday, it was just someone coughing, why did it get so serious overnight, "Does the emperor know about this matter?" ”

"Yes, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty already knew about it, but this matter came too suddenly, and even the doctors were helpless, and they didn't know what medicine to use."

Su Qingyan was worried.

This is an imperial city, and once the outbreak of the epidemic reaches the ears of several small countries around it, it will be a big mess.

"Yi Huan, it's useless to be in a hurry about this matter, the most important thing at the moment is to prevent the spread, so as not to infect people in other towns."

"What should the slave do?"

"In this way, you go to Xie Ying and work with her to gather everyone in the Chamber of Commerce to Su Mansion, and I will have a temporary meeting."

"Yes."

Half an hour later, the front hall of the Su Mansion was already full of people.

Su Qingyan looked at these familiar faces, with a straight face, and explained the business one by one.

"From today onwards, except for the Medicinal Kitchen, all other shops will be closed and will no longer be able to continue doing business."

Boss Liu of the wine shop disagreed: "Concubine Su, it's not like the same situation hasn't happened before, is it necessary for us to be so cautious?" ”

"This situation is extraordinary, and I can assure you that within three days at most, there will be a serious riot in Kyoto, and if you don't prepare in advance, there is a high chance that everyone here will be infected."

"This ......" Concubine Su's words were too scary, Boss Liu shrunk his neck, not daring to question it again.

"I know you must think I'm making a big fuss, every day the Chamber of Commerce closes, it will lose a lot of silver taels, but compared to silver, life is the most important thing."

Chu Xing bowed his head, "I agree with your words." ”

Shopkeeper Guo also echoed: "That's right, I also think Qingyan's words are very reasonable." Yesterday there was a young child eating at a seafood restaurant, and he suddenly coughed, then convulsed, and fell into a complete fainting, which really frightened me at the time. ”

He didn't want to experience that second time in his life.

"Thank you for your understanding and understanding, after the epidemic has passed, I will definitely bring the business of the Chamber of Commerce back to the top and earn back the lost silver exponentially."

"I believe in Concubine Su." The Chamber of Commerce has been able to get to this day, all relying on Su Qingyan's novel business model.

As long as everyone here can survive this natural disaster safely, after that, there will naturally be a lot of silver waiting for their pockets.

After solving the problem of the Chamber of Commerce, the boulder in Su Qingyan's heart fell.

She sat in the room, anxiously waiting for a long time, and finally looked forward to Lu Tianhui's return home.

"Tianhui, you're finally back, what's the situation in the court now?"

Lu Tianhui's face was also a little unpleasant, "The crown prince proposed to drive all the sick people out of Kyoto, lest the situation get worse and worse, most of the courtiers in the court expressed opposition, and the father looked hesitant." ”

"What? The prince couldn't help but get into the water in his mind, this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and it can't completely solve the problem. ”

"My father can't listen to other people's persuasion at all, I guess he should be worried that he will also be infected, so he will consider the prince's method."

"This kind of faint king, why didn't God send a thunderbolt to kill him!" Su Qingyan was so angry that she almost flipped the table.

The people of Daliang have such a Disu, which is simply eight lifetimes of mold.

"Qingyan, you are pregnant now, don't be angry, lest you get angry."

"I can't care about this at this time." Su Qingyan twisted her eyebrows, walked back and forth in the room a few times, and asked with a side face, "Do you have any way?" ”

"Well, I discussed with Yao Guogong and decided to close the city gate first, and prohibit the people in the city from escaping from the city, so as not to cause an uncontrollable situation."
