The blessing of the splendid farm family is married to the world

Chapter 225

The business of the restaurant is not too affected by the external environment. After all, no matter whether it is a bad year or a good year, a wealthy family is still a wealthy family.

They only chose a seat in the lobby outside, and the waiter stood aside politely but not too enthusiastically, and waited for the guests to sit down and bring a pot of tea before asking what they wanted to order.

Neither An Xu nor Zong Che often come to restaurants in the city to eat, so they don't know what signature dishes are in the restaurant. Zong Che wants to come to the restaurant to have a look at the menu.

"A bowl of stewed mutton with radish, a bowl of stir-fried vegetables, and a bowl of hot and sour potato shreds."

Yes, this restaurant is very trendy. Their spicy dishes appeared as early as when chili was popular in the capital, and this hot and sour potato shreds was also mentioned by the soldiers who came to the city. The master researched it.

When Xin Nuo heard this dish, she raised her eyebrows in surprise.

She didn't intend to teach anyone how to cook this home-cooked dish, but she didn't expect it to be accepted by a famous local restaurant.

Xiaoer suggested again: "Our family's hibiscus custard tastes very good, and it is famous in the whole Huoliang City. Would you like to order one for the two guests?"

Zong Che nodded and said, "Let's make one."

Xiao Er just left.

It was almost noon, and after a while, another wave of people came from outside, about five or six people, and they were all middle-aged men.

They did not stop in the lobby outside, but walked up the stairs while talking, apparently going to the private room.

"The people in Huoliang City are too treacherous. The food I harvested this morning was basically sweet potatoes. I heard that these sweet potatoes were distributed by the husband and wife of the Beiying Warden. One mu of land can produce a thousand catties. It can satisfy the hunger, but it is not as good as the serious wheat."

The person who said this walked up while talking, shaking his head with his hands behind his back, looking very distressed.

An Xu heard it, but he just wanted to laugh. It would be wrong if he couldn't receive staple food such as wheat.In times of real famine, nothing is as valuable as food that can fill one's stomach.

It seems that the cold people are not completely stupid.

At this time, another person said: "Let's see in the afternoon. If there is still a lot of money, then I will increase the price appropriately. There will always be people who are in urgent need of money, and then recruit people to play it up. It's not bad to keep sweet potatoes for yourself."

A group of people went up while they were talking, and they didn't expect that in the hall downstairs, there was the owner of the Northern Territory sitting.

An Xu and Zong Che looked at each other, but said nothing about the reactions and plans of these grain merchants.

When the food arrived, the presentation and taste were good.

An Xu tasted a piece of mutton first, the saltiness was right, and it turned out to be very good.

The hot and sour potato shreds dish is rather sour, not as good as hers.

An Xu didn't forget to hold Zong Che's chopsticks when he was eating.

Compared with the big restaurants in the capital, the big restaurants in Huoliang City are more like small restaurants on the street, without technical content at all.

After eating, it will be considered affordable.

The four dishes are all quite a lot, and the total cost is only 960 Wen.

Now a few hundred cash is no different to An Xu, but the feeling of being very happy when he earned one or two hundred cash back then is something he will never forget in his life.

I went to ask again in the afternoon, and sure enough, the prices of staple grains such as wheat and sorghum had increased, and word of mouth spread, and many more people came to the city to sell grain than in the morning.

Zong Che and An Xu didn't leave Fucheng that day, and stayed in the city for one night. The next day, they made arrangements for the government office to start harvesting wheat before going back.

In order to store as much wealth as possible for the people and improve the ability of the people in Beijing to resist natural disasters, An Xu taught the cooking method of maltose and sweet potato candy to a few people who are good at cooking in the logistics office of the military camp, and then started to make it the next day. These people went out to popularize these two sugar-making methods in and out of the city.

So within a few days, those big and small merchants who came to collect grain found that they had raised the price of harvested wheat to [-] cents per shi, but even fewer people came to sell wheat.

What's the matter, the people in the north are so rich that they don't need to sell food to live?

A few days later, like mushrooms after rain, there were many more sugar vendors in the streets and alleys of Huoliang City.

There is maltose, and there is a soft, waxy and chewy sweet potato candy cut into strips. This sweet potato candy is dark brown and more solidified. It doesn't look so beautiful, but it tastes very fragrant.

The merchants who couldn't receive the food couldn't make this trip in vain. A group of people discussed and paid for the candy.

Then he didn't go back south, and went directly to the northwest through the pipeline. This was amazing, and a catty of sugar actually had a net profit of three pennies.

Although it is only three Wen, but this candy is easy to store and transport, no matter what, it must weigh several hundred catties.

Once there, no matter how small a caravan is, it can earn more than a dozen taels of silver.

The businessmen, who were discouraged at first, became more serious about this business after seeing this.

Unknowingly, when the disaster victims in the Jiangnan area had nowhere to live, the river section from Jiping City to the north was revitalized by more and more businessmen, presenting a scene of prosperity far greater than in previous years.

People always have a strong ability to survive like weeds. The stability in the north, without special publicity, will attract many people who cannot live in their hometown and have to leave their hometown in the next month.

If you want to enter the northern territory, you need to pass through the temporary border defense line in Jiping territory. There are people on duty at all times, not to prevent the refugees from the south from entering the north, but to respond to the request of the above. Do a basic health check.

It is said that this is a request made by the military doctors of the camp in the north to the people from the south.

The epidemic that spread in Jiping City last autumn and even spread to Huoliang City really frightened the people in the north.

As night fell, a group of ragged people with their children and burdens stopped by the roadside. Some people put down their burdens and squatted on the ground to rest silently, and some were exhausted to pick up a bunch of branches and start a fire.

They are not the people in the south, but they can also be regarded as the people in the north. They did not suffer from the drought, but the war disaster forced them to leave their homes and go north.

Wang Xing came out with the villagers, because there was only one river between their hometown and Jiping Mansion, so the road was not difficult.

They also encountered a wave of refugees from the south. Those people were refugees with no shoes on their feet and no food in their hands. They were worried that they would rob them. No one in Wangxing Village went with that wave of people.

But to the north, it's fairly stable. Even if you don't travel, you will walk and rest at the same time in the morning and evening.

Wang Xing's wife nursed her two-year-old son in her arms, and bumped him with her elbow, motioning him to look southeast.
