The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

The next day, the sky cleared up!

If it weren't for the accumulated water on the ground and the temperature of only a dozen degrees, everyone would probably think that it didn't rain yesterday.

"Sister Ying, were you open yesterday?"

Fu Yunxi and Mu Yibai were the first to arrive at the hot pot restaurant in the town. Since they had many places to go today, Brother Mu was waiting in the carriage outside.

"We opened yesterday. At noon, many customers came to our restaurant to eat hot pot to avoid the rain. But there were fewer people dining in the evening."

Sister Ying thought that they were just sitting around doing nothing, so they might as well continue business. After all, they wouldn't get wet in the rain since they were inside the hot pot restaurant.

"Well, we are open as usual today. You don't need to order dishes later. The hot pot restaurant will be closed for a while. The weather has been quite abnormal recently. We have to make more preparations. You can also go back early to prepare winter clothes and other supplies."

Fu Yunxi knew that Sister Ying was hardworking and capable, and a heavy rain could not stop her from working, but no one knew when the extreme cold would come, so it was crucial for them to prepare supplies as soon as possible.

"No problem, Yunxi, we will go back to Mo Village tonight and close the doors and windows of the hot pot restaurant."

Before Qi Hongying opened her mouth, the Fourth Aunt responded first. She would certainly listen to Fu Yunxi. It was because she had a clear understanding of the situation along the way that she was able to settle down smoothly. When Fu Yunxi said that the weather was abnormal, she naturally would not worry too much, even if she could earn a lot of money by opening the business for a day!

"Okay, let's close the doors and windows. We have firewood and winter clothes at home, so it shouldn't be a problem to survive the winter."

Although Sister Ying was puzzled by the sudden closure of the store, she did not say much. After all, the hot pot restaurant belonged to Fu Yunxi, and she had to obey the owner's arrangements.

"Well, let's prepare more coal and food! We probably won't be able to go out this winter, so it won't hurt to have enough supplies."

Fu Yunxi did not tell them explicitly about the extreme cold, but she believed that repeated reminders should attract their attention. Besides, the firewood was chopped by Mu Yiheng in the back mountain and sent over, so it must be enough.

"Okay, we are new to Saibei and may not be able to adapt to the environment here, so we'd better prepare more."

Fifth Aunt is quite satisfied with her current life. Although the hot pot restaurant is busy, they earn money through their own labor and do not have to worry about other people's feelings.

"Don't worry, Yunxi, we will take good care of ourselves."

Qi Hongying was very grateful to the Mu family. After hearing about their experiences, the Fourth Aunt did not distance herself from them. Instead, she took the initiative to propose that they live together in Mojia Village, and did not charge rent. These women relied on each other and got through the difficulties together!

Fu Yunxi and Mu Yibai did not waste any time. After coming out of the hot pot restaurant, they went to explain to the partner of the wine workshop that they would no longer supply goods after the last batch of goods was delivered before the New Year. The reason was that the roads from Mojia Village to the town and the county were becoming increasingly difficult to travel. If it rained a few more times, the roads would definitely be muddy and difficult to travel on. The wine workshop could also take this opportunity to repair and upgrade.

Although the shopkeepers hoped that Mojia Village would continue to supply goods, since Fu Yunxi said so, they all expressed their understanding. As for Fu Yunxi's advice to finish work early and go home to celebrate the winter and New Year, they didn't know whether anyone would listen to him.

"Mr. County Magistrate, please stop!"

When Mu Yibai and his wife arrived at the government office, the county magistrate was about to go out with two soldiers, and they looked extremely hurried.

"Why are you here? I'm planning to go to the fields to check on the grain. Would you like to come with me?" When the county magistrate saw that the visitors were Mu Yibai and his wife, he immediately smiled, but his smile could not hide his worry.

"Is there a problem with the food? We are here just for the food issue." Fu Yunxi felt distressed when she saw the county magistrate's face full of worry, worrying that there would be serious problems with the food.

"Yesterday's heavy rain crushed some of the grain. We'll discuss the details on the way." The county magistrate frowned and was about to get on his shabby carriage.

Mu Yibai said quickly: "Okay, Mr. County Magistrate, why don't you ride in the carriage with us?"

He looked at the county magistrate's shabby carriage, then at his own luxurious carriage, and he had already made up his mind. How could he bear to let his wife suffer the slightest injustice?

The county magistrate hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement and got on Mu Yibai's carriage with them.

The interior of the carriage was comfortably and exquisitely decorated, forming a sharp contrast with the county magistrate's shabby carriage.

Along the way, the county magistrate described the situation of grain in detail: "This heavy rain came unexpectedly, and a lot of grain that was about to mature was buried. If it is not dealt with in time, I am afraid the loss will be huge!"

Mu Yibai listened attentively, while Fu Yunxi looked worried: "What should we do? The people are counting on these grains."

Mu Yibai comforted her, "Madam, don't worry. We will definitely work with the county magistrate to solve it."

Soon, the carriage arrived at the farmland. Looking around, it saw a mess with many crops lying on the ground.

The county magistrate was heartbroken: "This is all the hard work of the people!"

Mu Yibai and Fu Yunxi also got out of the car and walked into the field to check.

"Mr. County Magistrate, I am willing to pay for hiring people to help support these crops and do my best to reduce the losses." Mu Yibai said in a firm tone.

The county magistrate was extremely grateful: "Yibai, you really solved my urgent problem!"

Fu Yunxi also expressed her opinion: "It is our responsibility to contribute to the people."

Thanks to their efforts, more and more people joined the food rescue team, and everyone worked together in the hope of minimizing the losses.

"May I ask, sir, what are your plans after the grain is harvested? Do you plan to distribute it to the people, or distribute it to merchants for sale?"

Mu Yibai asked the key question. Normally, after the grain is harvested, it goes directly to the market and is sold gradually.

However, now is obviously not the best time for individual sales. Extreme cold may come at any time. If the process is not accelerated, the people will not have time to buy food.

"Then do you have any good ideas?"

The county magistrate understood the implication of Mu Yibai's words. There were many unknown factors, and the top priority was to deliver the grain to the people as soon as possible.

"If the grain is ripe and can be harvested, you can send people to count the amount of grain needed by the people in each town and village during the harvest. You can declare that this is low-priced grain sold uniformly by the government, and there are no middlemen to make a profit from the price difference. After the head of the village counts the amount of grain needed by each household, he can report it to the town."

"There are thirteen towns in Lianjiang County. After you harvest the grain, you can directly transport it to the towns and villages. This will save some time."

Fu Yunxi expressed her idea.

The streets were crowded with people. After yesterday's heavy rain, the hot air had dissipated.

Everyone thinks that autumn has arrived and is rushing to go out and do activities in this most comfortable season, but who knows how many days such good weather will last?

"What you said is a good idea. It can indeed save a lot of manpower and material resources."

The county magistrate quite approved of this method and couldn't help but sigh at the active thinking of young people.

"Also, you'd better ask the head of the village to write down in black and white the amount of grain for each household.

After all, it involves money, so if there are any problems in the future, they can be traced back."

Nowadays, a few kilograms of food seems to be just a small amount of money and not a big deal, but when the weather gets extremely cold, it will be life-saving food.

"Okay, let's do this. We'll make a decision after we look at the food!"

The county magistrate made the decision and the carriage continued to move forward. The place where the new type of grain was grown was far away from Mojia Village.

Because the land in the area of ​​Mojia Village is barren, the harvest has always been poor.

After obtaining the high-yield seeds, the county magistrate treated them as treasures and selected the most fertile soil in Lianjiang County for planting.
