Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 413 Chapter 410 Two: Start

Song Qiu took another trip to Zhuangzi to see the progress of making vermicelli, and ordered a large amount of starch from the grocery store in the town to deliver to the door, so that the process of making vermicelli would not stop.

I also told Yuan Cheng and others that if the holiday is only on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, the holiday will only be ten days, and they must continue to work.

The big guys who have received their wages are all very energetic, so they have to take a vacation.

The radishes were cut out and pressed to squeeze the water. Before it was time to mix the seasonings, Song Qiu had to have some leisure time. Thinking that he hadn't visited the dessert shop for some days, he took Du Chuanfu to town early in the morning. go up.

As soon as the twelfth lunar month enters more than a dozen miles, the town is bustling with activity every day. People from ten miles and eight villages fill up the streets and small markets in the town every day, as if there are endless purchases for the New Year.

At this time, it's not easy to care about your mule and carriage, it's better to walk faster.

So the carriage was left at the entrance of the town, and the two walked into the town.

Even on foot, it is very crowded. There are people carrying baskets and burdens everywhere, and you will be bumped into if you are not careful.

Fortunately, the dessert shop was not far from the entrance of the town, and the two managed to get into the shop without crowding two streets, avoiding being crowded with others.

It was still early at this moment, there were no dine-in customers in the shop, and no customers came in to take away.

In the kitchen, the Yangs are busy preparing, and there are freshly baked desserts on the shelf.

Song Qiu looked around, everything was in order, the kitchen was busy in an orderly manner, there was nothing for her to worry about, so she found a table outside and sat down for a rest, since there were no guests anyway.

And Du Chuanfu was talking to Yang Dalian at the door. The two of them were the Song family who first came together, and they were the most familiar. They hadn't seen each other for several days, so they naturally had something to say.

But Zou Shi hurriedly asked Ximeier to make a cup of hot milk tea and bring it to Song Qiu, and then took the account book by himself, and came to Song Qiu to report.

It has been exactly one month since the dessert shop opened, and Song Qiu has checked the account once half a month ago and settled the proceeds once.

The business in those half months was good, and the shop made a net profit of 13 taels after excluding all expenses.

As for the past half month, Song Qiu probably knew it well, except that the first few days were deserted, and the rest was fine, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to Du's house to order more goat milk.

But Zou reported the account, but the final net income was only eight taels of silver.

Song Qiu raised his eyebrows.

Mrs. Zou hurriedly said: "Business was pretty good in the first few days, not enough every day. The business was good in the first few days of opening, but the amount of goat milk was added from Du's house, and the business is not good these days. There is a lot of leftovers every day, because the girl has already explained that the unsold ones from the previous day cannot be kept for sale the next day, so I followed the girl's instructions and distributed the leftovers to the beggars and homeless people passing by after closing Yes, I was planning to report this to the girl, but it happened that the girl came here today."

Song Qiu heard that the business has not been good for the past few days, so he couldn't help being surprised, "What's going on?" Could it be the taste or something wrong?
Seeing Song Qiu like this, Mrs. Zou knew what she was worried about, and hurriedly said: "It has nothing to do with our taste. In the past few days, except for grain and oil shops, business in many shops is very deserted."

"In the first few days, there were rumors that war was about to start in the south, and that the 300,000 troops of Changle Kingdom were all outside the Mayang Pass. The rumors spread well, and some people in the town were panicked, but most of them thought it was just a rumor. Well, after all, the Chinese New Year is almost here, and the Changle Kingdom is also celebrating the Chinese New Year, so how could they attack at this time?"

"But just the day before yesterday, there was another big news from the county, saying that Hou Wang, the fiefdom of Changzhou, had colluded with Changle Kingdom, which is already the opposite. Now the three states south of Changzhou are all ruled by Hou Wang. Now, it’s a dilemma after cutting off Mayang Pass! It’s said that if there wasn’t Lingnan Pass lying there, King Hou would have annexed our Jingzhou Mansion a long time ago!”

"The news this time can't be faked. I heard that there are many people who escaped from the vicinity of Changzhou in Fucheng. It is said by themselves! Changle Kingdom and our Dali are really going to war!"

"The news has already spread in the town, but it didn't spread to Xiatou village so quickly. In the past two days, there has been a lot of stockpiling of food, but the business of other shops has been cold. Since there is a war, the food will skyrocket."

Song Qiu hadn't been to town for a few days, so he really didn't know the news.

Going to war?Hou Wang colluded with Changle and rebelled against the country?

She had known that this thick king was not a good guy, not to mention colluding with outsiders and treason, it was really done by him.

This is crazy about wanting to be an emperor, even doing things like betraying the country to the enemy.

It's not that she said that if the royal family is a legitimate descendant, even if he abdicates now, the one who is qualified to take that position is King Changshan, and it's not the turn of the side branch Houwang!
So, why is it against?
Song Qiu quickly calculated in his mind, if it was true, Hou Wang and the army of Changle Kingdom sandwiched the national gate Mayang Pass in the middle like a meat bun, then the army of Mayang Pass would hardly have to fight.

And coming up here, coming from Changzhou is the Lingnan Pass, if the Lingnan Pass is broken, the Jingzhou Mansion will be the first to suffer.

This is really going to be a fight...

It's going to be chaotic, it's going to be chaotic.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, why is it so uncomfortable for people to live.

Then what kind of Changle country is not a foreigner, and they also have to celebrate the New Year's Eve, so why can't they think about it, what kind of war must the New Year's come to start?Is this full?

Song Qiu thought a lot in his head, but after thinking about it, he calmed down again.

There has been no war in Dali for many years, but it doesn't mean that it is a soft persimmon at the mercy of others. It is said that the Changshan Army led by the great Changshan King is a great heroic army. The Xiangzhou Mansion is not far from the Jingzhou Mansion.

If you really call, don't be afraid.

Besides, it's just outside Chen Bing's pass, and the fight hasn't started yet.

Now worrying about the past and worrying about the past is also scaring myself, what if I can't fight?
They are ordinary people, and they should live their lives well.

But even though he comforted himself in this way, Song Qiu still reminded the Zou family a thousand times, and if there is something wrong with the news in the town, don't worry about the shop, just close the door and pack up your things and go back to the village. The big guys are in a pile important.

After leaving the shop, Song Qiu went to Wuji Grain and Oil Shop to buy a lot of brown rice, and asked the clerk to help deliver it to his own carriage in Zhenkou, filling up the carriage.

She just bought a lot of brown rice here, and all the grain and oil shops in the town, regardless of brown rice and polished rice, have all increased their prices, at least half of the price.

When Song Qiu returned to the village to tell the villagers the news, the villagers had no land to buy food for, and when they hurried to the town to buy food, they knew that the price of food had risen. In the end, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and buy some. bring back.

Originally, Wu Jin and his son, who had been running around the town every day, should have been able to bring the news that was circulating in the town back to the village, but the father and son took on a job of hauling goods to other places, and they haven't been back for a few days.

If Song Qiu hadn't come back and said, they would not have known about it.

Now even the price of food has risen, and everyone has no choice but to believe that there is going to be a war.

As a result, Songshan Village, which was thirty miles away from Panshi Town and had always been peaceful, became a little uneasy. Even though the Chinese New Year was coming soon, everyone was more or less joyful.

Our ancestors were all fleeing from disaster. If there was a war and the world was in chaos, they would have to flee too.

Where can I escape?
Fleeing is a matter of death, many people will die!
