The tough wife has room to farm

Chapter 289 The Blocked Place Between Two Mountains

The first town they settled in was Linhai County, west of Huifeng City, where they had their own shop. Nuan Wen they went directly to the city, and went to Shiweitian Restaurant in the city.

After the business opened, Nuan Nuan was really the first time to go to the store here to see the situation with his own eyes. The shopkeeper here is also surnamed Bai, and he is a young man in his 20s. He has seen Nuan Nuan a few times before. See you today. When Nuan Nuan suddenly appeared, I was surprised, but the reception was thoughtful.

After Nuan Nuan and the others settled down, they were well served with tea and snacks, and immediately delivered the recent account books, "Boss, these are our recent accounts, please take a look."

Wen Nuan put down his teacup and nodded with a smile. He just briefly flipped through a few pages. After reading the recent profits, he closed the account book with satisfaction and pushed it back to Shopkeeper Bai. I was appointed by the government to take a look at the matter, and from the profit point of view, the fluctuations are not big, which is very good."

Although Shopkeeper Bai didn't know much about the temper of the hostess, Nuan, but seeing her being so gentle, he let go of his nervous expression. When Nuan asked him to sit, he folded his hands and sat next to Nuan.

The shopkeepers of these branches are all scholars invited by Mr. Chang, and they all have their own reasons for joining the business, but just this kind of etiquette makes Nuan Gao take a look and say that they are sitting in this position.

In another position, the first is to show respect, and the other is to be a female relative, which is to observe etiquette.

Although Huang Xiu was by his side, he still chose such a position, which is convenient for conversation and does not overstep.

Shopkeeper Bai was able to answer fluently with almost no thought, and he reported things in a logical manner with insightful insights. Wen Nuan was very glad that he had entrusted the selection of the shopkeeper to Mr. Chang. Sure enough, there were no mediocre people around.

And this literati can respond so quickly when talking about business, this is what Uncle Liu trained them during the training camp.

"Treasurer Bai, do you know the situation in the surrounding villages of Linhai County? Is the government's pest control going well?"

"All the villages around the county seat were visited one by one by the government. The village head also brought back the prescription and started taking medicine, but..."

Talking about it, I’m afraid to come to such a but, but there will definitely be something in the future!
"how?"

"To tell you the truth, Linhai County, my host's family, has a special geographical location. On one side is the Nen River, and there is a large wharf called Linhai Ferry. The population is very poor and poor, as long as the villages can live on, they have bought medicinal materials to treat insects, but the situation on the back of the mountain..."

Wen Nuan didn't quite understand what this impoverished anomaly meant, and asked questioningly, "Could it be that the whole village is unable to purchase these inexpensive medicinal materials?"

Shopkeeper Bai shook his head with embarrassment on his face, and didn't say much, but just gave a simple practical example, "The closer the place is to the mountain, the more complacent the people there are, and some even use barter Unless necessary, he seldom leaves the village a few times in his life, and the other side of the mountain is because the north and south are not connected, and the east and west are too far away, and there are many people who never leave the village."

This way of life really shocked Wen Nuan. She knew that because it was not easy to get out of the mountainous area, most people would rarely travel long distances into the city, but she didn't expect it to be so serious?
"What about the government? Doesn't the government have to go to every village to inform about pest control?"

"This is true, but the official mission is limited, and they will only deliver the prescriptions. As for boiling medicine to cure insects, they have to organize their own people in the village. Hey...Let me tell you, my boss, in the village in the most mountain, Not to mention buying medicine, many of them have never even seen currency!"

Nuan was caught in a dilemma for a while, not knowing how to solve such a difficult problem, this situation was really out of the situation.

But the locusts don't care if you can do anything about it. They treat all food that may exist on the ground in the same way, and they will never leave a single leaf or seedling wherever they go. If those people really encounter a pest outbreak , the only option is to starve to death, or flee to the streets to beg for a living.

"How did you know about this situation?"

Shopkeeper Bai told the truth, "After the opening of our medical center, some people there came out to seek medical treatment. This is the kind-hearted gentleman in our medical center. As an outsider, I don't even know that there are places like that around a county like Linhai County."

Huang Xiu was also listening anxiously. Sister Xiaonuan came out mainly for disaster relief. When such a thing happened, she definitely wanted to help, but... she really didn't know how to help.

"Treasurer Bai, let's rest here for a while, please go to the Juantang branch and invite the doctor who has been out for a visit, I have something to ask."

"Yes, my boss, you will be later."

Wen Nuan originally planned to stay in Linhai County for a long time, but now, it is impossible not to stay. It is only a hundred miles away from home, so it was delayed. It seems that the journey to the west may be very sad. Tang Monk learns from the scriptures.

"Xiu, don't be dazed. Where are the clothes I told you to prepare? Let's change first."

For the convenience of walking and on the road, women's clothing is still inconvenient. Nuan Nuan asked Huang Xiu to prepare men's clothing early in the morning. They are all short shirts, which are convenient and comfortable to move around.

"Miss Nuan, have you figured out how to help them? If not, let's go to the government. The government can't really ignore the people there. Aren't they human beings living in the mountains?"

Wen Nuan shook her head while tying her belt, "Silly girl, after passing by your brother, haven't you seen clearly who are there in the government? I guarantee that when we go to find everything, yes, yes! Turn around and go Not what they say."

Huang Xiu tidied herself up and began to help Nuan comb her hair. The man's bun was very simple, either cloth strips or wooden hairpins. Wen Nuan was wearing black cotton bunts, clothes that a wealthy farmer could afford to wear when going out. , the hair was tied with the same color cloth, neat and neat.

"Sister Nuan, it would be great if you were an official, you must be a good official!"

What Huang Xiu said was from the bottom of her heart. Sister Xiaonuan is brave and resourceful, she is very good at beating people, she is so good at doing business, and she has a good heart. Such a person should be asked to be a high official.

"Your sister, I don't think so. I'm afraid that after I become a high official, I will be more greedy than anyone else. Then I will be close to death. I'd better be my profiteer obediently. I'm honest and greedy. Take care of me, how free."

Both ladies put on men's clothes and dressed up.

Wen Nuan was born petite, but with this outfit, he looked like a handsome young man in his teens, a bit more handsome than Wen Liang's serious young man, Huang Xiu blushed.
