Make a lot of money!I got rich in the year of famine

Chun Ju took a piece of cake and handed it to Xiao Tao, "Eat it quickly. We have to wait in the courtyard later. When the girls finish eating, let's quickly clear away the dishes. We'll have to do some work tomorrow morning!"

Niu Bao nodded, "Yes, yes, the girl said, tomorrow morning, someone will come to Fan's house to build a house, and our sweet potato field also needs to be tidied up, and vegetables must be planted. The girl said that instead of leaving it unused, , it’s better to grow all the vegetables and serve them, the girl also needs to build a greenhouse so that she can eat vegetables in winter.”

"Ah? I also want to take leave tomorrow and go back to see my parents." Xiao Tao was depressed and a little unhappy.

Shen Feng didn't like to talk, she just listened quietly. Anyway, it was none of her business, she was just an orphan.

Chun Ju served her some food and said to Xiao Tao: "What's so good about your parents? As soon as you go back, they will definitely ask you for money. It's better not to go back and keep out of sight."

Xiao Tao's family is very patriarchal. This time when the disaster struck, her parents originally wanted to sell her to get some money to survive the disaster. Anyway, their family has no shortage of daughters. Xiao Tao has an older sister above her and a younger sister below. Sister, but only one son.

"That's true, but they are my relatives after all." Xiao Tao couldn't bear it. She couldn't feed herself well and wear warm clothes, but she saw her family starving and freezing.

Niu Bao put the bowl down heavily, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said angrily: "Don't use the Shen family's things as favors. Go home to see your parents, and use your own monthly money to buy things to show your respect!"

"Damn Niu Bao, what do you mean!" Xiao Tao didn't know whether she was embarrassed or angry, her face turned red.

Niu Bao snorted coldly, "What do you mean? You know it in your heart. Do you think the old lady doesn't know? Do you think the two girls don't know? It's just because your family is having a hard time and they are kind-hearted so they didn't say anything, but you can't Take the kindness of others for granted.”

Chun Ju knew this, and she quickly stopped Xiao Tao, who was still trying to quibble, "Stop arguing, bring the girl here, no one will get any good results, Xiao Tao, eat your food, Niu Bao, if you eat well, then Go to the front and guard the gate."

Niu Bao glanced at Xiao Tao with disdain and walked out from behind her.

Xiaotao was so angry that she poked the rice in the bowl hard and burst into tears.

Chun Ju sighed, "What Niu Bao said is unpleasant, but it's for your own good. I won't dare to do it again next time. The second girl can't get rid of the sand in her eyes. She has already said that there can be no petty theft in the house. If you have any difficulties, just ask Just tell her."

Xiaotao could not argue.

She did order something from the kitchen every time she came home.

Sometimes it's eggs, sometimes it's bacon, or salted fish. I'm afraid people will see it, so I stuff it in the bag.

The eldest girl doesn't go to the kitchen when she has free time. She always does needlework in the house. The second girl is even more busy and no one is seen. Granny Shen is old and has to take a nap after lunch, so the only things she does are Chunju and Shen. Feng saw it.

Of course, Niu Bao, the gatekeeper, is a good person, begging for food on the street, and has never seen anyone. Her little trick can only be used to deceive herself.

Xiao Tao held it in for a long time before saying, "It's too embarrassing, I don't want to talk about it." Her family is poor and her family are stingy. She has always been concerned with saving face and doesn't want her family to be scandalized. To put it bluntly, she just likes to put on a show.

After she returned home, she would brag about her life in the Shen family, so that all her sisters would know that she had a good life in the Shen family. She ate well, slept well, and had newly made clothes. The two girls in the Shen family especially Consider her a sister.

Under the envious eyes of her family, Xiao Tao was in high spirits.

Chunju couldn't do anything to her. Seeing that it was getting late, she quickly grabbed the food and went to guard the door of the main room.It was very lively inside, and several oil lamps were lit, making the room as bright as day.

Granny Shen told Uncle Huo jokes that only the older generation could understand. Huo Lin laughed silly at the side and almost choked on a fish bone.

Shen Hui poured tea for him and carefully asked him to eat slowly.

Shen Qing had something on his mind, so he ate two cakes, drank some tea, and then sat there in a daze.

Luo Qin was the same, unable to eat.

Huo Yunzhou knew that something was wrong with her, so he ate absent-mindedly.

Old Man Huo saw that the time was almost up, and he couldn't hold it in anymore, so he said directly: "Yun'er, how many days can you stay this time?"

Huo Yunzhou didn't know what he was thinking. He came to his senses and answered honestly, "Five days."

Shen Qing suddenly asked: "How is the border situation? Will there be a war?"

When Huo Yunzhou looked at her, his eyes were full of smiles, and his voice was incredibly gentle, "Don't be afraid, Qingquan Town is five or six hundred miles away from Bianguan City. Even if there is a war, it won't be able to affect the area for a while." When you get here, you have enough time to prepare.”

Shen Qing was stunned for a moment, that's not what she meant!

However, she heard another meaning.

"What you mean is that if we don't fight now, we might fight in the future if we can't protect everything, right?"

Speaking of this, Huo Yunzhou's face became heavy, "There is a heavenly master in the court who predicted that this winter will be extremely cold. Outside the pass is not suitable for winter. The northern barbarians make a living by grazing. If the cattle, horses and sheep they raise encounter extreme weather, The cold weather may cause a lot of damage, so every year after autumn, the border is not peaceful, and this year is no exception."

He spoke conservatively, firstly because he was afraid of scaring his family, and secondly because they probably wouldn't understand him if he talked too much.

But Shen Qing sensed a business opportunity, "In extremely cold weather, vegetables are definitely not available. Both people inside and outside the customs can only eat dried meat, right?"

"Yes, so you want to sell pickles again? This is not bad, and there is also the chili sauce, which is very appetizing and goes well with rice. The last time I sent it, all of it was taken away, but you have to think clearly, it is impossible in the army. If you send someone to collect it again, you have to send it yourself. The journey is long and it is really not easy."

"I know, let me think about it." She thought of the Zhao brothers she met outside Jingyang Mansion that day. They had a motorcade. If she cooperated with them, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

Granny Shen said worriedly: "It's just pickles. If you transport them all the way there, you won't even be able to earn the travel expenses, right?"

Mr. Huo said: "That's not necessarily the case. We buy cheap and sell expensive. Things that are worthless here are worthless, but if they are shipped to other places, they are first-class good things, such as the eggs we eat at home. If you get it, you can eat it. If you take it to the town and sell it, you can exchange it for money. The sweet potatoes we grow are not good things in our own land, but if we take them to other places? Girl, is this the case? "

Shen Qing nodded and said seriously: "More than that, things like Wei Cai are pickled with vegetables and have a strong salty taste. They bought them and they can also be used as salt for seasoning. Doesn't it mean that there is salt? The food is ready, and even though some of our chili peppers were washed away by the flood, the finished chili sauce weighs thousands of pounds. There are also dried chili peppers. When the weather is cold, these are also good things to keep out the cold. Take them to the border. It must be easy to sell. As for how to transport it, I just need to find someone to cooperate with me, and I don’t have to set up a fleet myself.”
