Chapter 411
Several merchants looked at each other protectively when they heard what Walnut said, and then heard the merchant who sold the cloth say to Walnut: "We agree with the method you mentioned, but there are so many refugees on the street, so we are Donating silver, I'm afraid it can't help so many refugees, and it's just a drop in the bucket.

Hearing what the cloth seller said, he looked at her with a smile on his face and said to them: "Of course I know what you're talking about. Of course we are only doing personal relief, so of course we can't do so many refugees. Everything depends on the government, so we are now Just donating to them temporarily, you can rest assured that you will not be asked to donate too much silver."

Shop owners, after hearing what Walnut said, they took out their silver taels one after another, put them directly on the table, looked at Walnut and said, "We only have so much silver, and you know that all the money is now in In terms of the source of goods, and our store has not been open for a long time, so the cash in hand is only this, you can figure it out! We will just listen to you. "

Walnut listened to what they said, looked at the silver they took out, and frowned slightly on his beautiful little face. He also knew that these merchants really put all the cash in their hands on the goods, and for a while let them Donating money and silver is really embarrassing for them, but seeing the silver on the table, Walnut glanced at them with some displeasure, and then said to Dong Dabao who had been standing beside him silently: "We are the boss of this shop. Boss, how much silver do you think is appropriate to donate to these disaster victims?"

Dong Dabao, who stood aside and remained silent, listened to Walnut's question, watched him cough slightly, came to Walnut and said to him: "I don't think we need to take silver taels. Just take out the food and donate it to them."

Walnut listened to Dong Dabao's words and stood there thinking for a while, nodded in agreement, and then said to Dong Dabao: "Well, then take out a few bags of rice in the back yard and set up a large pot not far from the door. Porridge is given to these refugees."

Dong Dabao heard what Walnut said, looked at her, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it now!"

After the words fell, Dong Dabao turned around and was about to forget about the back yard and walked. At this moment, a merchant sitting beside the lotus pond suddenly stood up and looked at Dong Dabao and said, "Second manager, don't go to make porridge for the refugees. If you need a cauldron, I will provide it to you for free."

Hearing what this man said, Dong Dabao stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at him, nodded with a smile, and said to the merchant: "Then I'm not impolite, if you have time, you can directly send The cauldron is placed at the door, and I will ask the family to set up a stove there."

The merchant listened to Dong Dabao's words, looked at her and nodded, then walked towards his booth.

Seeing this, Walnut had a smile on his face, called the servants, led them out of the shop, found a place not far from the shops, stood down, pointed to the side of the road and said to the servants: " Hurry up and find some soil and bricks, and build a big stove here, so that you can cook porridge here."

Listening to Walnut, the family nodded one after another and began to get busy.

Just when they were getting everything ready, the merchant asked someone to bring a big pot, came to them and put it on the side of the road, looked at the walnuts and said, "Girl, this is a special pot. If this pot If you boil it all at once, it will be enough for a hundred or 80 people to drink. I heard that this pot was used for cooking when officers and soldiers were fighting. It was handed down from my grandfather's grandfather. It is useless at home. It came in handy."

Walnut looked at the cauldron he put down, nodded his head and said in his heart: "Don't say that this cauldron appeared at the right time."

While Walnut was thinking about it, the servants had already started to set up the stove.

Time passed little by little, and it was noon in a blink of an eye. With the non-stop busyness of the servants, the stove had been set up. Walnut looked at the stove and turned back to the shop, glanced at Erpeng and smiled. Said: "Brother Erpeng, the stove outside has already been set up, you lead a few servants to the yard to carry a few bags of rice out, and watch the porridge cooking there."

Hearing this, Erpeng showed an unhappy expression on his face. As he walked towards the back yard, he muttered: "It's all caused by these refugees. They came and our business has suffered a lot. I don’t know what I owe these refugees in my life.”

Erpeng didn't murmur very loudly, only a few people behind him heard what he said, but they didn't dare to say anything more with their eyes.

Erfang led several servants to the back yard, looking at the piles of grain, Erpeng ordered several families to carry four or five bags of rice out of the yard and went directly to the stove by the roadside, and then I ordered those families to bring some water.

The big pot started to get up early porridge, and Erpeng sat on the side with a stool. At first, the refugees looked here curiously, but when they saw the stove was set up, you cleaned up and showed hope. shine.

Well, little by little, the rice porridge in the cauldron slowly released its fragrance, and all the refugees gathered on the roadside smelled the fragrance of your porridge and surrounded them one after another.

At this time, Erpeng, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the porridge, saw that the porridge in the big pot was about to be cooked, stood up from the stool, glanced at the refugees who came around, frowned, turned and walked back in his own shop.

Not long after, Dong Dabao and Walnut came out of the shop. They went directly to the cauldron where the porridge was cooking and took a look. More and more refugees gathered around, and Walnut watched as they stretched out their hands and moved over Erpeng sat on the stool under his buttocks and stood on it, and said to the refugees: "Fathers and folks, I know you must have suffered a lot these days. Today, all the merchants in my store and I are only one Human ability helps you warm your body and drink a bowl of porridge. The porridge in this big pot is about to be cooked. I hope that when I serve porridge for the big guys later, it will not be crowded, so as to avoid a stampede. In spite of our goodwill, we want to save people and not hurt them, as long as you line up in order, don’t worry, I guarantee that everyone will have porridge to drink.”

The refugees who gathered around one after another, after hearing what Walnut said, he and the others, who were rushing forward just now, suddenly became quiet.
