Crossing the road to riches

Chapter 35 The Village Was Disaster

The next day, the rainstorm still didn't stop, but what should be done was to make the cow's shed dry.

Fortunately, the drainage in the yard is still good, there is no water in the yard, and I planned to take the milk, but it seems that I have to wait for a few days.

Wen Hao’s milk is also a little bit aggrieved these days, but it’s uncomfortable. It’s really because of Li’s dumbness. Going to the toilet by myself, only once or twice now, my body is so uncomfortable.

Forget about these things, but this Mrs. Li is not a worry-free person. She is determined to be the head of the second child's family. She is cynic and sarcastic to herself. She is dizzy and feels that she is living a few years short. He hoped that Hao'er would come to pick him up quickly, but it seemed that the weather outside was not good, so he might have to wait.

Suddenly there was the sound of gongs and drums in the village, as if someone’s family was in disaster, the house collapsed, and the whole family was crushed. The patriarch hurriedly mobilized people to rescue them.

Wen Tu and his wife also let the two children look after the house, and the two quickly put on straw raincoats and went out.The old man on the bed sighed: "Hey, it's a year of disaster, may the Wen family be well."

With the pouring rain outside, Mrs. Zhao was worried, and she looked worried: "The rain is so heavy, can't we wait for the rain to stop and leave, and others will understand when we send it off later?".

Wen Hao and Wen Chun also brought Wen Mao with them. The three of them covered the cart with a thick layer of oilcloth, then covered it with thick straw, and then covered it with a layer of waterproof cloth. Surprisingly, nothing goes wrong here.

He put on an apron embroidered with the word "warm" which represented the logo, put on the coir raincoat and set off: "Daddy can't break his promise in business, otherwise it won't last for a long time. Please trouble Daddy to boil hot water at home and prepare a pot of brown sugar and ginger water." up".

The rainy road is not easy to walk, let alone the heavy rain, Wen Hao leads the way in front, Wen Mao puts the hemp rope of the cart on his body and pulls forward, Wen Rong grabs the two handrails at the back with great strength, Push forward under control.

Along the way, none of the three talked too much, and they all focused on the journey. Wen Mao was even more excited. The four qian coins were enough for her mother's medicine money for a month. Good sister seems to have hope.

To be honest, the three of them were exhausted when we arrived in the county. Even Wen Hao, who didn’t pull the cart, was exhausted, but he didn’t dare to rest, and there was no place to rest. The originally two-hour journey took three hours abruptly. , let alone delay, the goods have to be delivered earlier, and then some materials have to be purchased.

The rain in the county town is not that heavy. Even in this kind of weather, there are still quite a few people. The same is true in the bustling buildings, but there are no people in fancy clothes. They are all ordinary people. They ordered some small dishes. There were also a lot of carriages parked outside the restaurant, which were sent by rich people's mansions to buy food.

Wen took a good look at the front, and went in through the back door. As soon as he entered, the little boy was very sharp-eyed, and immediately came over with an oiled paper umbrella, and hurriedly let the shopkeeper know.

After a while, the shopkeeper also came over, and the people in the kitchen made some extra bowls of ginger soup immediately.

I'm afraid that this kind of treatment is very popular here, Wen Hao cupped his hands: "Then I will thank the shopkeeper first."

The shopkeeper looked at the Jinbaopan delivered to the door and narrowed his eyes with a smile: "You are welcome, we will cooperate for a long time in the future. I thought you would not come back during the heavy rain."

"This businessman pays attention to integrity. Since the promise is made, it will come rain or shine."

The shopkeeper has also been in the business for many years, and he admires this young man very much.

After getting the goods, he wanted to invite the three of them to sit inside, but Wen Hao refused: "The shopkeeper won't go in, so just talk outside if you have anything to say, look at our dripping appearance, put the inside It doesn't look good when it's wet."

The shopkeeper didn't force himself to speak with a smile, but he spoke straightforwardly: "Your goods are selling well, not only are they selling well, but also many people have made reservations here in advance, so I have to increase the quantity tomorrow. I want two hundred cups of milk tea. , [-] cups of various fruit teas, [-] cups of sheep sour seeds, and [-] small cakes."

The shopkeeper originally thought that Wen Hao would happily agree, but he didn't expect the person in front of him to be troubled instead: "This fruit tea is nothing, but I'm a small business, so naturally I can't compare to you, the shopkeeper, with such a big reputation." , to be honest, the source of milk is limited, and there are not so many raw materials.”The shopkeeper frowned: "Then how much can you give each day?" "Dairy products have to cut half of the money, but this problem can be solved after half a month at most."The shopkeeper thought about it: "It's a good deal, but I guarantee that the stock will not be out of stock every day, otherwise it will be difficult for me to explain to the customer."

After the three of them drank the ginger tea from the shopkeeper, they continued to deliver the goods. Some scattered people really didn't expect that there would be someone knocking on the door in such a heavy rainy day. Let's deliver the food on a whim yesterday. , Some of them spend a lot of money and even give a lot of tips.

This trip was beyond the expectations of the three of them. In fact, it was not that the shopkeeper of Fanhua Building could not meet the requirements, but that she still needed to make room for other merchants.

He came out full, and went back full, with six taels of silver in his hand. This is the deposit, not the final payment, and there are more than ten taels in addition to the final payment.

I will buy another cow when I receive the more than ten taels, but there is no place to dry cow dung for the two cows in the family. Besides, it is not very suitable to cook food and raise livestock in the same yard. When the rain stops, I will look for Scouting, livestock pens.

With such a heavy rain, Fufu was worried, and turned his worries into motivation to work. There was no need to go out of the stall during the heavy rain, and Mrs. Zhao and Jinmei also helped in the kitchen.

This time, Mrs. Zhao really didn't dare to take Fufu lightly. It was really laborious to make this thing. They didn't dare to intervene for fear that it would be a waste of materials, so they could only make simple ones.

Fufu handed over the beating of eggs to Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Jin. Mrs. Zhao beat the egg whites, while Mrs. Jin beat the yolks to make mayonnaise. Ms. Zhao's arm was almost useless, but she couldn't stop. Material wasted.

But thinking of making money for the family, the two of them didn't complain at all.

Fufu casually glanced at Mrs. Zhao, there was more or less a trace of Fufu's revenge in this matter.

When Wen Hao came back, several people in the kitchen had already prepared four or five pots. There were more than 200 pots, and there was almost no place to put them in the small kitchen.

Seeing that the wife was back, Fufu hurriedly brought ginger soup over. Mrs. Zhao also wanted to ask how the situation was, but unfortunately she couldn't let go of the work in hand, so she could only shout at the top of her voice, "Hello, how is today?".Wen Hao: "Father, it's very good."Looking at the ginger tea that Fufu brought to her, and looking for dry clothes and towels for herself, she felt that all her hard work was worth it. "Thank you Fulang, Fulang is so kind."

Hearing this, Fufu couldn't help but lowered his head shyly, and whispered in a voice that only two people could hear: "It's all what it should be".

Wen Fugui sat next to the cows, cuddling each other, smoking dry tobacco crushed with straw as shredded tobacco, always feeling uneasy. If such a heavy rain continued, the village would really suffer.
