Chapter 162 Food Crisis
"Since you want to expand the fame of food, you can't do without food, so I want to know what our current food source is?" Shen Feng looked at Fu Bo and asked.
As soon as Shen Feng said this, Fu Bo understood that Shen Feng was a little dissatisfied with the expansion of the food source, but now there was nothing he could do, so he had to sit up straight, clear his throat and answer truthfully.
"At present, there are two main aspects of food consumption, one is the storage of grain at home, and the other is to buy it in the grain store outside. However, now that we are short of manpower, and when we are rich, I plan to send people directly to Fenghe City in the west and Chuan'an City in the southeast, which are close to the Julan River and Guishui River, to buy grain directly. ”
"Well, this idea is good, but we have to do it as soon as possible, now the situation in Mengyue Country is not good, it's too late, not to mention that our food consumption can't be supplied, once there is a large-scale war, even our own rations may become a problem. Now this little tenant simply cannot support our growing industry. Shen Feng said thoughtfully with a frown.
"If it really doesn't work, we can buy a few grain stores in Feixue Town first, and then use the grain store's own food source advantage to buy and hoard on a small scale first. Once we have enough money, we can expand the scale of grain purchases again. In this way, we don't have to re-explore it ourselves, and we should be able to save some things. Rao Meiyun, who had been sitting silently in the corner, suddenly said softly.
This idea of hers made everyone's eyes shine, this is indeed a good idea, our Shen Mansion does not have channels and sources for purchasing grain, but those grain stores do? What else do they rely on to survive? Even if the grain stores in Feixue Town can't buy it, but the other surrounding towns can't buy it either? Send someone over to negotiate a circle, how can you buy two or three?
In this way, not only the food problem is solved, but also the foundation can be laid for large-scale food hoarding in the future.
"Hehe, it seems that we have all walked into a dead end, and Meiyun is still very smart! Yes, worthy of praise!" Shen Feng praised with a spring breeze on his face.
"Childe has won the award, the slave family is just a small idea that came up with it by accident, and the real trouble is still in how to acquire it. Seeing Shen Feng praising himself in front of so many people, although Rao Meiyun was happy, her face was already as red as fire.
"Hehe, don't underestimate this little idea, you must know that your idea has found a way out for our Shen Mansion in terms of food, saving a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, this model is very worth advocating. In the future, I really hope that everyone can come up with more small ideas like this to promote the development of our Shen Mansion. Shen Feng ignored Rao Meiyun's modesty, but said to everyone with a smile.
After Shen Feng clarified the matter, everyone also understood that Rao Meiyun had indeed made a great contribution this time. They all looked at the beautiful woman sitting in the corner with envy or joy.
"I think the noodle shop should have some kind of rules, such as selling only a few bowls of noodles a day?" Uncle Gen looked around and found that this very important question was not asked, so he asked.
"Why did you do this?" Shen Feng asked with some curiosity and confusion.
"If you only rely on the current pestle pounding mode, the speed of flour production is too low, and it can't form a big climate at all, let alone the supply from other places, and the noodle shops in Feixue Town alone can't supply it. Uncle Gen said depressedly.
Recently, due to the popularity of pasta shops, there has been an urgent shortage of flour, but even if more people are added, this mode of pestle pounding still cannot meet the demand. So Uncle Gen is a little anxious, after all, with the development of publicity, the consumption of pasta shops will definitely rise dozens or hundreds of times.
Shen Feng had never thought about this problem, when he taught everyone to make noodles in the past, he just asked his subordinates or Aunt Qin to buy it directly and use it, and others didn't mention it, so when Shen Feng heard the question that Uncle Gen said, he couldn't help but be stunned, "Uncle Gen, are you saying that flour is not ground with a stone mill?" he asked with a surprised glare.
"Stone mill, what is that?" Uncle Gen didn't understand what Shen Feng was talking about, "Isn't the flour you said all pounded with a grinding rod?!" Uncle Gen said as a matter of course.
"Then do you know about stone grinding?" Shen Feng understood a little, and then asked.
Uncle Gen didn't speak this time, but shook his head suspiciously, not knowing what Shen Feng was talking about.
"Okay, I'll solve this matter, you can rest assured, before I leave, I will definitely solve this problem for you. It was only at this time that Shen Feng could be considered to have thoroughly understood the pattern that Uncle Gen was talking about. But this thing is relatively simple, when the time comes, just make the tools yourself, and then let them learn to use them, it's not a big problem.
Seeing that Shen Feng was confident, Uncle Gen nodded to indicate that he understood.
"Village chief, what about the Xiao family? Have you been holding them all along?" Seeing that others had asked questions, Ngawang remembered Xiao Anshan's family, which he was in charge of guarding.
"How is Old Thief Xiao's body recovering?" Shen Feng was relatively busy this time, so he didn't have time to pay attention to these trivial matters at all, but now that Ah Wang had already mentioned it, he had no choice but to ask.
"It's a little better than before, but it's not going to be down for a short time. Ngawang replied.
This question was another difficult problem for Shen Feng, he pondered for a while, and then said, "Then let them live first, and then decide how to deal with it when he can move around." ”
......
This year's Shenfu symposium lasted for a whole afternoon, and although it was a bit long, the effect was equally significant. According to Shen Feng's original words,
This meeting made the Shen government reach a consensus on the implementation of the goals and plans, and the various departments were more clear about their responsibilities and had a further understanding of the future development of the Shen government.
It is believed that through this meeting, the Shen government will continue to summarize and reflect in the future work, constantly spur themselves and enrich their energy, and strive to improve their own quality and business level, so as to adapt to the development of the times and the Shen government, and make progress and grow together with the Shen government. ”
After the meeting, Shen Feng did not let everyone disperse, but ordered the kitchen to set up a luxurious banquet for dinner.
After this communication, everyone's division of labor is clear, the goal is clear, coupled with Shen Feng's encouragement, so all the participants are full of confidence, and they have shown the strength to roll up their sleeves and do a big job now.
When the mood was good, the atmosphere naturally became warm, and not only Shen Feng became the object of everyone's toast on the wine table, but even the two girls, Rao Meiyun and Mu Qiuyan, everyone did not let go.
That's not all, Shen Feng even took out small games such as "rock-paper-scissors", "big and small watermelons", "guess the numbers", "truth or dare" and other small games used in many drinking parties in the past to liven up the atmosphere.
Although they are all small games, the charm of this game immediately conquers everyone on the scene. Everyone indulged in it and played in twos and threes. However, old and respectful people like Fu Bo and Uncle Gen were not interested in this, so they got up early and went back to their rooms to rest.
The rest of the people drank darkly, and everyone had no reservations, and finally Lei Yong lay on the ground with a wine bowl and fell asleep, while Ah Zhu jumped up and down and danced with his hands, which was completely inconsistent with his usually slightly wooden personality. Xiao Qi may be because he is still young, and he pulled Ngawang to cry and call his mother after a few drinks.
And the two girls, Rao Meiyun and Mu Qiuyan, who participated in this kind of meeting for the first time, also stopped from the initial taste to the later empty glasses of wine, and they drank so much that after drinking, the two even teamed up to almost overturn Shen Feng.
Then Rao Meiyun pulled Shen Feng's arm to dance to show him, while Mu Qiuyan hugged Shen Feng's arm and sobbed and told him something, and Shen Feng himself was groggy and wanted to vomit.
It wasn't until the uneasy Chun Niang found here and snatched Shen Feng away from the two goblins with a look of regret that Rao Meiyun and Mu Qiuyan were a little sober up in the coldness and anger when Chun Niang left.
