The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Shang Xi said: "We can also research some food to satisfy their hunger."

The owner of the steamed bun shop said: "It makes porridge faster."

Shang Xi said: "Then make it thicker and cook white rice porridge."

"Auntie, you don't know how expensive this food is. You can't buy it even if you have money."

Shang Xi smiled and said, "Hurry up, these people are waiting."

"You are truly a living Buddha. This bowl of porridge can keep them alive for two more days."

Shang Xi said: "Who let me catch up?"

"Oh, I've seen so many people. There were so many people beaten to death for begging a few days ago. It's just you who's kind enough to help so many people."

After saying that, the owner of the steamed bun shop arranged for the back kitchen to cook porridge.

Shang Xi looked at the people in front of him and said, "I'm sorry everyone, I broke my promise and the buns are shiny, but I'll let someone cook porridge for everyone. Let's have a bowl of porridge for everyone in a while."

The whispers caused a buzz, but Shang Xi couldn't hear what they said, but no one left.

In half an hour, large jars of porridge were brought out. At first, Shang Xi was worried that there were not many bowls to use, but later he discovered that each of them had something to eat, and everyone was obedient and served a bowl of porridge. will leave.

This porridge is cooked well.

After everyone received the porridge, there was still some porridge left. Shang Xi praised the shopkeeper and said, "You control the amount very well."

The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "You can still laugh at this time. You're lucky if nothing happens."

Shang Xi smiled and said, "What could happen?"

The shopkeeper said: "Do you know why these people were beaten? They also grabbed things when they were hungry, otherwise they would have been beaten."

Shang Xi thought to herself that everyone had taken care of her today. If there was a stampede, many people would die.

She paid the money and left with Yuhua. Many people on the road were drinking porridge from bowls. The heat in the bowls was clearly visible. There were also a few people feeding porridge to people lying down in bowls. It seemed that some of them were lying down. Not dead, but still alive.

The person who used to sit motionless on the ground every day also seemed to have a little life. After seeing it, Shang Xi felt that it was really good and no longer so lifeless.

But this also brought trouble to Shang Xi, because everywhere she went, people called her a good person, and some people knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her.

Shang Xi did not stop for this.

Yuhua pointed to a place where many people gathered, "What happened?"

"Go and see."

It turns out that the owner of the grain store has increased the price of grain more than ten times. Everyone can't afford to eat grain, so they are here to argue.

This boss was very arrogant. He had a big belly and put his hands on his hips and said words that deserved a beating.

"If you can't afford it, don't eat it. People are buying it. Do you know that you can't buy food for any amount of money in other places? If you don't buy it now, you won't be able to buy it in the future."

The group of people gathered in front of the door to argue with the grain store owner all had empty flour bags in their hands.

It seems that the price is everyone's flaw. They would rather go hungry than spend their money.

But there is also another kind of people. The people who come out of the grain store are all carrying bags. Needless to say, the food in them is also grain. The people carrying grain are naturally rich people, because they are not short of money, and they will buy it no matter how expensive it is. .

Seeing this, Shang Xi said to Yuhua: "Let's go back."

"Aren't you going to buy anything?"

"I won't buy it yet. I have something to do when I get back."

"What's so urgent?"

"Didn't we store a lot of grain? We will open a warehouse to release grain tomorrow."

Yuhua said: "It's really time to sell it. This grain is extremely expensive. Now is a good time to sell it."

Shang Xi smiled and said, "It can't be too expensive. Just sell it for a little extra money. After all, those who don't have food to eat are poor people."

"You really have a bodhisattva heart."

She has lived for so many years, but this sentence is still used to describe her today, and more than one person. It seems that people should have kind thoughts and good deeds.

The next day, the grain store their family had been preparing for months opened.

Five times the price is already very cheap based on other people’s prices of more than ten times.

People who got the news came in droves.

Everyone wants to buy more food.

Upon seeing this, Shang Xi said: "The food is limited. One person only has half a bag of food. Come back after eating. I can't buy more but sell it."

At this time, a man came to drive up prices, "I'll pay a high price, and you can sell me all the grain you have."

Shang Xi looked at this man and said, "They are all selling grain, so don't buy it from me at a low price and sell it to everyone at a high price."

The people who came to buy food immediately recognized the food shop owner who was pretending to be a customer, so everyone drove him away with a spittle.

As soon as the people gathered around the shop to buy food dispersed, they saw the refugees on the street, all staring at them.

Yesterday, they got to know Shang Xi. Although he is young, it is really difficult for others to forget him.

Yuhua said warily: "They are here again."

Going hungry in such a cold weather, some people may not survive next year.

Shang Xi said: "Cook porridge and give charity. Don't let these people starve to death this winter. When the weather gets warmer, they will have a way to survive."

Yuhua was someone who had experienced hunger. She still dared not recall those days. She said, "Shang Xi, you are the best person I have ever seen."

Without saying much, Shang Xi directly found a few people and set up a few large pots at the entrance of the food store. He kept cooking porridge every day to feed each of these people two bowls of porridge every day.

At first, everyone rushed to make porridge, fearing that they would fall behind. Later, the porridge here was cooked every day, and they were no longer afraid of missing a meal.

There is a banner here stating that each person has two bowls of porridge per day. According to the porridge cook, everyone has abided by this rule. Very few people will drink an extra bowl of porridge because he knows the amount of grain.

This kind of charity lasted for two months without interruption. Everyone who met Shang Xi called her Shang Xi.

This is now the second year.

The candle factory workers have gone to the mines to mine coal.

During this period, Shang Xi would receive a letter from Cheng Feng every month, and Shang Xi would also reply to the previous letter. The purpose of the reply was to ask them to come back early.

An accident occurred in the coal mine just three days after construction started. Everyone in Nancheng knew about it, and the government led troops to surround the coal mine.

This coal mine is nominally owned by Boss Qian, and the large area of ​​mountainous land nearby was also purchased by Boss Qian, so the government's debt is certainly not Shang Xi's fault.

For this she had no fear.

She told the women in her family: "If anyone comes to ask us if we have any dealings with Boss Qian, just say you don't know, and say you don't know anything."

Yuhua grabbed Shang Xi's hand and said, "My father-in-law is still on the mountain. He must have been caught."

Shang Xi said: "This coal mine is legally excavated. As long as the superiors find out clearly, they will be released soon. If they want to arrest people, they are also arresting the money-making boss. If arresting a few small bosses cannot solve the problem, they will be released in a few days." "
