Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

After receiving the news from the housekeeper, Chen Huairen and the other two heard that the county was willing to see them, so they booked a private room at Jufulou early and waited for the county magistrate to arrive.

The next night, Magistrate Wu walked into the Jufulou box with a stern face. He glanced around the box where ice cubes were placed, and then his expression softened a little, thinking that they had some sense.

When Chen Huairen and the other two saw Magistrate Wu coming, they hurriedly stood up to greet him. Magistrate Wu waved his hand and said, "Alright, no need to be polite. Tell me what you want to see me for."

It was late at night and it delayed his intimacy with his concubine. It would be better if there was something important going on.

"County Magistrate Wu, we came here to talk to you about the recent events at the grain shops in the city." Chen Huairen stepped out first and said.

"Well, I have heard about this matter. I heard that you all closed the grain shops. What does that mean?" County Magistrate Wu asked lightly while sipping his tea.

The three of them cursed in their hearts, is there any need to ask why they closed the grain store!

But after cursing in his heart, he still had to say in a gentle voice: "County Magistrate Wu, we have no choice. We really don't have enough food at home recently. Even if we want to sell it, we have to have food to sell!"

"Then why did you come to me? Do you want the county to open the granary to sell grain to you?" County Magistrate Wu put down his teacup and asked them in a cold voice.

Wang Fuan stood up and said, "That is not our intention at all. We just want to ask the county magistrate to give us the privilege of being able to enter and leave the county. The three of us want to go out to collect grain. Only in this way can we have enough grain to transport to the county to sell."

County Magistrate Wu did not expect that these three merchants had the courage to go out and collect grain. Now the outside world is not as peaceful as before, and it is unknown whether they can get the grain.

Chen Huairen saw that County Magistrate Wu was thinking, and he also added fuel to the fire and said, "County Magistrate, if we don't sell grain, the people in the city will definitely be in chaos once they run out of food. I'm sure you don't want to see this happen, so please give us a privilege."

"Humph, you dare to threaten me!" County Magistrate Wu snorted coldly. Before they could speak, he continued, "You can go out if you want, but it's very chaotic outside right now. If anything happens, I won't care about you. You are not allowed to bring danger to the county. If you have the guts, go out."

What Magistrate Wu meant was that they could go out to collect grain and transport it to the county, but they had to bear the risk of transporting the grain themselves, and if they brought danger here, he would not open the city gates to let them in.

Several people were very angry at what Magistrate Wu said. If they were not afraid that the riots would affect them and their families, do you really think they would be willing to make this trip outside? It's not like they have no food to eat.

Magistrate Wu, as the official in charge of Qinghe County, doesn't care about the lives of the people at all. Even when they took the initiative to step forward and try to solve the county's problems, he didn't appreciate it.

Chen Huairen held his breath and said, "The risk of transporting grain is naturally borne by ourselves. We have relatives in the county, so we will not bring danger to the county. As long as you agree to let us in and out, it will be fine."

County Magistrate Wu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then let's do as you said. Go out and collect the grain quickly, and then spread out the grain in the county. Don't let any trouble happen in the county."

"Okay, that's enough for today. I'm leaving first." Looking at these three grown men, he really couldn't eat.

As soon as Magistrate Wu left, Qian Jinbao, who had been holding back his anger, finally couldn't hold back any more and started cursing: "That old bastard, he really gave me face. What does the stability of this county have to do with me? He is lucky that I am willing to take the risk to go out and collect grain. We shouldn't bother with this and let the people cause chaos. See if he can still stay in peace in the government office!"

Wang Fuan frowned and advised: "Okay, don't be angry. It's not the first day you know that our county magistrate is such a person. Now that our goal has been achieved, what we should think about now is where to collect grain."

Chen Huairen was also holding his breath, but he was still able to remain rational: "Brother Fuan is right. No matter what he does, our goal has been achieved. Now we are not only doing this for Qinghe County, but also for ourselves."

After being persuaded by the two, Qian Jinbao calmed down a bit: "I know, but I just can't get angry. Can't we go to another place? With such a county magistrate in Qinghe County, it doesn't feel safe at all."

Wang Fuan and Chen Huairen looked at each other and smiled bitterly in their hearts. Don’t they know? Don’t they want to find a better place to stay?

But where in this world is safe? No matter what, Qinghe County is where their ancestors have lived for generations, and they are more familiar with everything here. As long as there is still a little hope, they don't want to give up Qinghe County so easily.

Qian Jinbao knew that he had asked a stupid question and did not expect the two to give him an answer. Finally, the three of them discussed going out together to collect grain and then went back home.

-

Shi Anan, who was far away in Guangming Village, naturally had no idea about the turmoil in the county. She also didn't know that her elder sister was still alive and in Qinghe County, where she had always wanted to check on the situation.

After Guangming Village returned to peace, Shi Anan became restless again.

Recently, she asked Hao Ren to make her a wooden rack for making tofu, and she was ready to start making tofu.

There was no tofu in the Tianqi Dynasty, and even soybeans were rarely grown. For them, soybeans were fed to livestock, and only poor people who could not get enough food would eat them.

Before, Shi Anan asked the people of Guangming Village to grow soybeans, but the villagers didn’t understand why. It was not until later that soybean oil was squeezed out of soybeans that they realized that soybeans were a treasure!

But what Shi Anan wants to tell them now is that soybeans are not only used to feed livestock or to extract oil, they have many more functions and can be used to make richer ingredients.

As for using soybeans to make tofu, there is no need to worry about what will happen to the oil press factory.

Because the peanuts planted before have been harvested, the oil content in peanuts is higher than that in soybeans, and peanut oil is also very fragrant, so the oil pressing workshop has now started to mainly produce peanut oil!

The idea of ​​making tofu was something An An had before she went out to look for salt mines, but there were too many things to do at the time, and her schedule was full, so she had no time to do it.

Now that the weather is hot, mining, house building and road construction have all been temporarily suspended, and there are not so many things to do, so Shi Anan has time to think about making tofu.

When it comes to making tofu, we must definitely consider the issue of coagulants, which are mainly divided into gypsum tofu and brine tofu.

There was no need to worry about gypsum and brine, as it wouldn't cost her much to buy some in the system mall. The only thing she was struggling with was which of the two types of tofu to make.

Gypsum tofu has a tender and smooth texture, high water content, white color, and relatively light bean flavor. It is suitable for making dishes such as mixing, stewing, roasting, and soup. Salted tofu has a tough and relatively hard texture, with a strong bean flavor, and a white color with a slight yellowish tint. It is suitable for frying, deep-frying, stuffing, and making stuffing.

It can be said that each has its own advantages.

Unable to figure it out, she called Ruyi and asked her which kind of tofu was best.

Ruyi looked at her strangely: "Miss, didn't you say that you have all the materials? Why can't you make them all?"

Yes! Shi Anan felt that she was being stupid.

Only children make choices, of course adults want them all!
