Don't say that a penny may not be able to buy such a bowl of noodles, even if you can buy a steward, you won't talk to them and just drive them away.

Those few people refused to leave at first, and left with their tails between their tails when the victims pointed at them and started cursing, fearing that they would cause public anger and be beaten.

There is a ration of instant noodles every day. I found that there are people who are not lacking in food and drink to share their food. How can the victims be willing to pay attention to whether there are any unfamiliar faces around them.

The few people who were driven away were gangsters in the city. They were a group of shameless people. Seeing that there were a lot of people in the city who were interested in instant noodles, and they were disgraced for not eating instant noodles. I was happy, so I thought of an idea that killed two birds with one stone, and planned to set a fire outside the city, and then take the opportunity to steal a few boxes of instant noodles and sell them in the city to earn some money.

Needless to say, this simple and crude design is really hard to guard against.

That day, they came out from another city gate and walked around here. They found an opportunity to throw a torch into an empty hut, and the fire burned instantly.

Fortunately, the grass used to build the shed was a bit damp, and when it burned, thick smoke came out, which quickly attracted the attention of the victims, and they quickly tried to find a way to put out the fire.

As soon as he left the city, Chu Lin was startled to see the billowing smoke. He was about to go to have a look, but his peripheral vision glanced under the city wall. In a shed temporarily built as a kitchen, several people were holding boxes of instant noodles along the base of the wall. Go forward.

The instant noodles that will be placed in the shed are all ready to be cooked in the afternoon, so it is impossible to take them away. Coupled with their sneaky actions, Chu Lin ran over without thinking, and grabbed the person walking in front.

"What are you doing!"

Seeing being discovered, the man was about to run, but found that he couldn't run at all, subconsciously looked back, only to find that his belt was being pulled.

"Brat, stop meddling in your own business!"

The gangster cursed viciously, and kicked his feet back, trying to kick the little boy who was pulling him away.

Chu Lin reacted quickly and let go of his hand to avoid it, and kicked back reflexively, and kicked him flying.

A young man rushed up without looking at him. Zhao Xu, who had caught up, glanced at him disapprovingly, grabbed his wrist and pulled him behind him.

As for those incompetent gangsters, Xuan San stepped forward and knocked them all down without the help of others.

There are many people and strong forces, so the speed of fire extinguishing over there is still very fast. Unfortunately, because the sheds are relatively close together, and there are flammable materials such as quilts and clothes inside, the fire is involved in a relatively large area. An old man fell while running and injured himself, but there were no other casualties.

When he learned that these gangsters set fire to so many people just for a few boxes of instant noodles, Chu Lin, who thought they were crazy, was really itchy with anger.

Zhao Xu, who was originally cold-faced, saw that he was so angry, so he comforted him in turn.

Shen Yi next to him also said, asking him to beat the group of people to vent his anger.

Chu Lin snorted, and said disdainfully, "I'm too lazy to beat them, so as not to get my hands dirty."

After the officials from the government captured those hooligans, the injured old man was sent to the hospital. Looking at the place that had been burned to black, Chu Lin didn't have the heart to learn how to ride a horse anymore, so he returned to the city with Zhao Xu and others.

Only then did Chu Lin realize that the aroma of instant noodles had attracted attention in the city, and after thinking about it for a while, he ran to discuss with Zhao Xu that he wanted to sell some of the instant noodles in the city, and then use the money from the sale to repurchase them for disaster victims outside the city. something that gets burned.

Since it is of a public welfare nature, the price of the bagged instant noodles is no longer ten yuan, but increased to fifty yuan. However, even so, there are still many people who have been greedy for a long time.

Especially when they knew that the money from selling instant noodles would be used to help victims outside the city. Whether it was because of genuine kindness or to gain a good reputation, many wealthy families in the city bought a lot of instant noodles and returned home.

Teaching a man to fish is worse than giving him a fish.Knowing that the fertile fields near Lin City were flooded, most of the affected people who rely on farming for food would not have a source of income for a while, Chu Lin thought for a while, and came up with a way to kill two birds with one stone.

Bags of instant noodles have always been sold at a loss, and one day the money earned from the barrels of instant noodles will not be able to make up for the loss, so he has to find other ways to make money.

When it comes to making money, he thought of many novels in which time travelers make money from soap and glass.

The production of glass is easy to say but difficult to operate. In fact, the production of soap is not so easy. At least in ancient times, first of all, animal fats were not cheap, and secondly, strong alkali was not so easy to get out. As for It is obviously impossible to use plant ash instead of strong alkali to make transparent soap with floral fragrance, after all, there are too many impurities in plant ash.

However, Chu Lin didn't have that trouble. He could use the points and the system to exchange for the raw materials needed for soap. After all, these ordinary things didn't cost much points.

As for why not directly exchange ready-made soaps and soaps with the system, one reason is that materials require fewer points than finished products.The other is to find a livelihood for the victims outside the city.

After exchanging the points for a batch of materials and asking the system to send them quickly, it didn't take long for someone to deliver the items to Chu Lin's room.

Theoretically, knowing that making handmade soap is very simple if there are materials, but Chu Lin decided to practice it by himself first.

After learning that someone had delivered something, he locked himself in the room and did not go out, thinking that Zhao Xu, who was just sick, came to knock on the door.

Chu Lin, who was pouring the stirred mixture into the mold, finished the work in his hands, and then ran to open the door with some excitement.

"Why are you dressed like this?" Zhao Xu asked in surprise to the young man who only showed the upper half of his face.

Chu Lin, who had already finished, took off his gloves and mask, stretched out his hand emotionally and pulled him into the room, "Look!"

Scanning the messy pile of things such as the stove, pots, and kettles on the table and on the ground next to him, Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "What are you looking at?"

It was only then that Chu Lin, who realized that the table was too messy, gave a dry cough, then slightly moved the things that were no longer needed to the side, and pointed to the soap that hadn't solidified in the mold.

"what is this?"

"It's soap, it's used to wash your face and hands. Do you smell it?" Chu Lin said while carefully picking up the mold and handing it over.

Zhao Xu, who lowered his head and smelled a faint scent of flowers, nodded, "Why did you suddenly think of doing this?"

Chu Lin expressed his thoughts, and then asked him if he thought it was feasible.

After solving the problem of not being able to buy cheap food with money, Zhao Xu didn't plan to take care of the rest, but he didn't expect the young man who had already helped the victims a lot to think so far.

"you really……"

After looking at the person in front of him for a while, Zhao Xu didn't know what to say, so he suddenly laughed and patted his head.

Although he knew that he was a big man and shouldn't be touched by others, Chu Lin, who actually likes this kind of intimate interaction, still didn't avoid his hand, let him touch it a few times before asking: "Is it okay?" ?”

"Can you make money?" Zhao Xu, who knew that his bags of instant noodles were already losing money, was really worried that this overly kind person would lose money for food.

"I'm sure it will be more expensive, but I don't know if anyone will buy it." Even though soap and painting soap are definitely better than ancient local bath beans, Chu Lin is still a little worried.

"Someone will definitely buy it." After all, if there is something good in the top, there must be something wrong in the bottom.

Hearing his affirmation, Chu Lin gained confidence.

Because of the nutrient solution, the victims who were originally sick gradually recovered. No matter men, women, old or young, their spirits were relatively good.

After the flood finally receded, the crops that were about to be harvested had already gone to nowhere. The houses made of thatch, wood, and mud were basically washed away, and mud was everywhere.

The people who were organized to rebuild their homes couldn't help crying when they saw the mess. After crying, life had to go on, so they wiped away their tears and started working hard.

Suffering makes people grow, and those who survived, no matter what their personalities were before, have become hardworking now, so with the division of labor and cooperation of everyone, they quickly repaired their houses.

After the house was built, the people became worried again when they thought that the imperial court would not be able to support them all the time, and felt that their future life would not be secure. Those with skills had already started to look for jobs in nearby towns that were not affected by the disaster.

Although Chu Lin had an idea, it was impossible for him to actually operate it. Therefore, it fell to Zhao Xu to arrange for the people to make handmade soap to earn money for their livelihood.

Negating Chu Lin's idea of ​​having someone take the materials home to do it, Zhao Xu ordered someone to find a few big Zhuangzi, and then sent someone to spread the news.

The flood this time was due to the imperial court and they did not starve to death. Therefore, after hearing the news from the government, they knew that there was a kind person who was willing to provide them with a job to make money. Sign up.

With sufficient materials, it is not difficult to learn how to make handmade soap. After gathering people to teach for a whole morning, many finished products that look good were produced within a few days.

The wages for making soap are calculated on a piece basis and paid on a daily basis. Therefore, after receiving the first day's money, the people who found that they worked hard and had more than enough to support themselves had hope for life again.

After solving the livelihood problem of the people, Zhao Xu, who received the letter from the emperor, asked Chu Lin if he would go back to the capital with him. If so, he could transport the soap back to the capital for sale.

For Chu Lin, who likes to live in a house, it doesn't matter which house he lives in, so he chose the latter without much hesitation between familiar places and familiar people.
