Pastoral fierce wife busy farming

Chapter 289 Snow Disaster
"What, Su Meixiang ran away?" Su Li looked up in surprise, looked at Wu Caiwei who came to visit, got up and helped her in.

Wu Caiwei wobbled and sat down holding her already obvious stomach, and said: "I heard from people in the village that it seems that Su Meixiang did something to annoy the members of the Liu family, and Liu Hui severed ties with Su Meixiang in a fit of anger. , and even went to the yamen to sue Su Meixiang for fraud. When Liu Hui took the officials to the Su family to arrest someone, he found that Su Meixiang had already run away."

"What? Aren't the two of them husband and wife? How could they make such a fuss that even the government was alarmed?" Su Li clicked her tongue, unaware that the breakup between Su Meixiang and Liu Hui was caused by her off-season greenhouse vegetables technique.

"Who knows. At that time, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Su were holding Liu Hui's arm and crying, saying that Su Meixiang was the daughter-in-law of the Liu family after all, so how could they be arrested by officials. Who would have thought that Liu Hui turned his back on her and refused to admit it at all? Admit that there is such a marriage. The Su family can’t come up with a marriage certificate, so they can only admit it.” Wu Caiwei shook her head while speaking, “Before, Su Shimao married Liu Ru, and later, Su Meixiang’s husband turned his face and reported to the officials to arrest him. His face was completely lost."

"The Su family's affairs, let them make trouble, anyway, it has nothing to do with my family." Su Li didn't care much about the Su family's affairs, but it was the Wang family who started talking about going to the temple to burn incense on Laba Festival.

The custom of Qingmiao City is to go to the temple in the south of the city to offer incense on the Laba Festival, so as to get good luck for the coming year, so no matter whether you are poor or rich, you will go to the south of the city to offer incense on the Laba Festival, and the temple is crowded with people that day. How lively.

In the past, Mrs. Wang would take Su Li to burn incense every year, but she used to be poor and couldn’t afford to donate much money for incense, at most one or two copper coins. This year, Mrs. Wang means that since the family has made a fortune, she should donate more and ask the Bodhisattva to bless her. .

The days go by so fast, and the Laba Festival is almost here.This year, the snow fell very early and heavily. Many places in Qingmiao City were hit by snowstorms. The heavy snow collapsed the huts of the poor and frozen the roads leading from Qingmiao City to the outside world.

"Ma'am, the road is blocked by heavy snow, what should we do if we can't get our vegetables out. The two restaurants, Xiangmanlou and Suzhai, can't afford so many vegetables, and the remaining vegetables will rot in the ground if they are not picked." Bai Lu anxiously Turning around, seeing that the vegetables in the field are ripe and the mushrooms should be picked, but if the road is blocked, they can't be transported out, and what they lose every day is a lot of money.Fortunately, mushrooms can be made into dried mushrooms, but vegetables are worthless if they are not fresh!

Su Li was also anxious, but there was nothing he could do. Snow disasters were natural disasters. In places with backward productivity in ancient times, the roads were blocked and there were no planes. Let alone transporting goods, even people couldn't get through.

"Since the commercial roads in other places are blocked, when I go to the Vegetarian Restaurant tomorrow, I will go to the city to inquire about other restaurants and ask them if they want vegetables. Our mushrooms and vegetables are good things, and there must be many people who want them. .It’s just that Qingmiao City is not as rich as Beijing City, so the price of vegetables probably won’t be as high. In short, sell as much as you can, it’s better than rotten in the field.” Su Li thought of a compromise.

Just do what you say, Su Li is a man of action, the next day it was snowing too much, and there were few customers in the vegetarian restaurant, so Su Li closed the door early, and took a carriage to the restaurants and restaurants in the city to sell vegetables.

In the alley opposite the Vegetarian Restaurant, a beggar in ragged clothes hunched over, staring at Su Li's figure coming out of the Vegetarian Restaurant, clasping the bricks of the wall with both hands, his eyes were full of vicious light...
