The price of sugar water is so cheap that no one buys it.

In ancient times, white sugar, which was used as a luxury product, was made into sugar water, but it was sold for a penny and a bowl, and anyone would wonder if this was really sugar water.

The higher the price of this rare item, the hotter it is.

"Huh?"

Hearing Zhou Yanran's explanation, Tie Zhu was even more puzzled: "It's really strange that someone dislikes cheap goods." ”

Zhou Yanran didn't know what to do, so she asked Chen Xuan's opinion.

Chen Xuan, who heard the news, was immediately stunned, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "It's me, who neglected this, and the price still remains the same." ”

Zhou Yanran's concerns are right, his original intention of selling sugar water is to do his best to help the poor.

Profit-making is secondary.

……

In the anxious waiting, two or three hours passed, and the sun became more and more scorching.

Many homeless people have fled to the back mountain city, facing the big sun, their eyes are already dizzy from hunger, they can't walk, and their long-term malnutrition has made them emaciated to the point of skin and bones.

These are lucky, at least alive.

On the deserted Tian Mo, there are already a lot of people who starve to death, no one collects the corpses, and they are eaten by wild dogs.

Or, to be eaten by the same kind.

"Cannibalism!"

In ancient books, the scene recorded in a few words is a disaster in any era.

There are also some people, evil to the side of the guts, has fallen into the grass, often robbed the house, resulting in the security of the mountain Cheng is very bad, the landlords and shop owners, hired dart customers, to protect their own people.

"Hey, this world is ......"

Tie Zhu was indignant at the inaction of the government, and at the same time, he was more and more grateful to Chen Xuan.

It was Chen Xuan who let him eat enough, otherwise, he and his wife would also be one of the homeless people.

"Boss, okay, give me a bite to eat, I'm willing to be a cow and a horse."

Among the displaced people who wandered to the back mountain city, an old woman with her granddaughter was kowtowing and begging for food.

"Where did you come from called Hanako, why don't you get out of here?"

When the shopkeeper saw the pair of mothers-in-law and grandson, their clothes were ragged, and the stench on their bodies was unpleasant, attracting a large number of flies, covering their noses, and driving them away very unfortunately.

The two of them wandered all the way to the east of the city.

"Grandma, I'm hungry." The little girl said something weakly, and suddenly fainted, her lips white and frightening.

"Nan Nan, wake up quickly, don't scare me."

The old woman was completely panicked, shaking her granddaughter vigorously, her face full of helplessness.

"Tiezhu, quickly bring a bowl of sugar water over and give it to the little girl to drink." Seeing someone fainting in front of her with hunger, Zhou Yanran hurriedly said.

A mouthful of sugar water in the stomach.

The little girl woke up slowly, reminisced about the sweetness just now, and took another sip of sugar water.

"It's so sweet!"

"Grandma, you can take a sip too."

The little girl was very filial, fed the sugar water to the old woman's mouth, and the hungry and faint old woman drank it all in one gulp, only feeling that her body had recovered some strength.

"It's so sweet." The old woman who tasted the sweetness of the aftertaste suddenly reacted, this white sugar is a luxury, even if it is the sugar water that is redeemed, I am afraid that the price is not low.

Immediately, Cheng Cheng said in fear: "Little girl, we don't have much money on us, otherwise, we will sell ourselves as slaves and make cattle and horses for you for the rest of your life." ”

Zhou Yanran shook her head: "Old man, this bowl of sugar water is not expensive, it is only a penny and a bowl, so I will treat it as if I invited you." ”

"Nan Nan, we have met the Living Bodhisattva today, why don't you hurry up and thank the Living Bodhisattva."

The old woman was overjoyed, pulled the little girl, kowtowed to Zhou Yanran, and was immediately helped up by Zhou Yanran.

"You are an elder, this can't be helped, this can't be helped."

……

"Everyone, come on, here, there is food!"

With this scene, more and more displaced people wandered to the east of the city, and at a glance, they were all in rags.

"Don't worry, take your time, it's all there." Zhou Yanran saw these hungry people, and looked at her with blank eyes, and couldn't help but have red eyes.

These sugar waters, anyway, can't be sold for the time being, instead of letting them go, it's better to help these displaced people, and they can save one by one.

"Sister Yanran, all these sugar waters, all of them are given to them, how can we make money?" Sympathy is one thing, but there are a large number of people in the small workshop who want to eat, and Tiezhu is also anxious.

"We have money."

A hungry old man with his chest pressed against his back let go of his large, clenched and cracked hand, revealing a grinding gray copper coin.

"We, too."

The others also took out the only copper coins they had.

"That's it, if you have money, you will spend money to buy it, and if you don't have money, you will have money in the future, and you will pay it back." Zhou Yanran said after thinking about it carefully.

This is a bold move.

The test is all about human nature.

"Living Bodhisattva, we met the Living Bodhisattva today, Living Bodhisattva rest assured, we will pay back this money."

Those poor people who had no money cried with joy and kowtowed to Zhou Yanran to thank him.

There are more and more displaced people in the east of the city, and for a while, it has caused a lot of congestion.

Zhou Yanran is also too busy, and more importantly, the sugar water is not enough.

So, she shouted: "Folks, in addition to here, there are also our sugar water sold at the south of the city and several other city gates. You can also go there. ”

In this way, the congested east of the city was relieved.

It's just that at the moment of unitary time, all the tea sheds and sugar water have been sold or distributed.

"I'm really sorry, I bought the sugar water today, and I won't have it until tomorrow." Looking at the homeless people outside the tea shed, Zhou Yanran apologized.

"Ah, that's it?"

"Little girl, you'll have to be early tomorrow."

Zhou Yanran nodded and said, "Tomorrow, it's still this point, I'll come when I'm young." ”

At three o'clock, Zhou Yanran and Tie Zhu had all finished their work and returned to the workshop with their employees.

After returning, Zhou Yanran personally tapped today's earnings and was extraordinarily serious.

"Little money fan, after dinner, it's not too late to calculate." Chen Xuan scratched Zhou Yanran's nose and doted.

"No, I'll have to figure it out as soon as possible." Zhou Yanran shook her head vigorously.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan didn't say anything anymore, returned home, personally prepared a few drinks and dishes, and sent them to the small workshop.

"Brother Dog, throw away some of the sugar water used for relief, we have earned two thousand five hundred wen today, a total of two and a half dollars."

Zhou Yanran's small eyes lit up, grinning, and two shallow dimples appeared on both sides of her cheeks.

Looking at the very cute Zhou Yanran, Chen Xuan waved his hand and said arrogantly: "Today, you have all worked hard, and I will give you a salary increase of five yuan." ”

"Long live the owner!"

The workers were in high spirits.

The sugar water sold the next day was also made and sealed and stored.

Suddenly, Zhou Yanran looked into Chen Xuan's eyes and asked, "Brother Dog, today I advocated to help those refugees, resulting in a loss of a lot of income, will you be angry?" ”

"How can it, whatever you do, I support it." Chen Xuan chuckled.

"Really?"
