Reborn Farmhouse Restaurant [Transmigration Book]

How dare Du Qingchen let County Magistrate Feng continue talking, otherwise his meager wealth would have to be donated immediately, so he walked up quickly, Du Qingchen put the plate on the table, and stopped County Magistrate Feng from talking.

"Your Majesty Feng is overrated. In fact, I'm not that good. It's just that you praised me for the sake of your master. I wear white clothes, and I only have three shops in my hands, one small restaurant, one here, and one in the county. It’s just a restaurant, which was newly purchased last year, and there is not much silver left in the hand, how dare you call yourself the head of the county gentry? It’s just because of your reputation, others are willing to give me three points.”

Shao Qing heard that Du Qingchen was just an ordinary restaurant owner, and he was still in this small county town. He was a little disappointed for a while, but he didn't give up and asked, "I heard that the boss bought grain with other gentry before. ? I don’t know how much you saved?”

"How can there be so much! Master Shao is joking. How big is our county? I only have three shops, and my younger brother has a little success in his studies. Others call me a squire when they praise me. In fact, I am just a rich man." As for the other two families in the county, why not? The Qiu family doesn’t mention it. They are old households for many years. If you get up, guess how much wealth you can have?"

Du Qingchen chuckled, concealing the fact that he made money by selling hot pot ingredients, and continued to explain, "It's just that Boss Su and I both came from farming, so we know the impact of the drought on the people, and I can't bear it. With some spare money, I bought some food, one is for my own family, and the other is just in case, at least to help my fellow clan.”

If it is only able to save the food of the same clan, then it is not much, I am afraid that even a county cannot be saved, Shao Qing is very disappointed.

"My lord, why worry, the imperial court always has food for relief, right?" Du Qingchen asked tentatively.Now the disaster is not serious, even in the most severely drought-stricken areas, it is not possible that the family will have no food left. At most, the seedlings will die.

Shao Qing heard that he didn't ask clearly, but was questioned by a restaurant owner. Shao Qing smiled, "Of course, if the drought is severe and there is famine everywhere, the imperial court will definitely provide relief."

"Oh, then we villagers can feel at ease." Du Qingchen smiled, his heart sank.Relief will only be done if the drought is severe, that is to say, the current disaster situation is not considered serious in the eyes of the court. I am afraid that Master Shao is not here for disaster relief, but for investigation.That's right, it's not yet the autumn harvest, who doesn't have the surplus food to last until the autumn harvest?Even if the seedlings withered and died, people would not starve to death for a while. The court had plenty of time to slowly investigate and determine the disaster situation before adjusting the grain.

After Du Qingchen set the plate, he turned his back and gave County Magistrate Feng a meaningful look. After such a long time, County Magistrate Feng also realized that what he said just now seemed to push Du Qingchen out. With Mr. Shao's attention, this batch of food in Pingxing County may not be able to keep it. Why is he talking so fast!He can't control other people's disasters, so take care of his own county first!Magistrate Feng secretly regretted it.

Seeing the remorse on Magistrate Feng's face, Du Qingchen felt relieved. At least Magistrate Feng realized that this was inappropriate, so he shouldn't talk nonsense.

Shao Qing already had a general understanding of the situation in this place, so he relaxed, and casually asked about Pingxing County's request for rain, Feng County Magistrate quickly said: "I'm planning to talk to Boss Du about this, Boss Du, you How do you see it?"

"Wait, Boss Du is just an ordinary household, and there are only three shops in his family. Why did Mr. Feng ask him everything?" Shao Qing chuckled.

County magistrate Feng was dumbfounded for a moment, isn't he just out of habit!Could it be that he ran to find Su Junxia who didn't know a single word and only listened to Du Qingchen?Or make a special trip to Qiu's house to discuss with their family members? !It's not very good to come to Du Qingchen's place. You can also have a meal, have a chat with Master Liu, and get things done by the way.

Du Qingchen clasped his hands and said: "Master Shao misunderstood, I am a restaurant here, Master Feng likes to eat the dishes I cook on weekdays, and the master lives opposite my restaurant, so it seems that those who need the gentry to contribute, Wenhui Ah and the like, they will drop by and let me help with running errands and holding banquets, isn't that the case for the last literary meeting and food shopping? Master Feng is here, let me know, and I will go to the Su family and Qiu My family said that they were helping to run errands."

"Yes, yes, yes! It's just convenient. Boss Du is young and kind-hearted and doesn't worry about trouble, so if there is anything, I can tell him, and he will help me. Just like this time, when I asked for rain, I just wanted to Just tell Boss Du, and let him run errands to deal with the rest, hehe..." Magistrate Feng smiled.

It's enough!Du Qingchen was silent.

Shao Qing sighed, "Boss Du is not too troublesome, Mr. Feng! You have to do more with your own affairs! You can't always bully the people!" As he said, Shao Qing patted County Magistrate Feng on the shoulder, and put The county magistrate Feng retorted what he said before.

This is a man whose flaws must be reported.Du Qingchen thought to himself.

After eating, Shao Qing had to continue on his way with his servants, and the county magistrate Feng and the three sent them to the town. Shao Qing patted Du Qingchen on the shoulder and sighed: "If the merchants in other counties can be like Boss Du Normally, my errand would be much easier, and the common people would not have to struggle to survive under the famine!"

Du Qingchen turned his head and looked at the back of his hand on his shoulder, and said: "My lord, you are joking. I am just a low-ranking man, and I only seek government affairs when I am in this position. Even merchants in the world are like me. I am afraid that I will still be unable to stop natural disasters and man-made disasters. There is still a need for relief from the imperial court to help the people."

Shao Qing looked complicated, "You are right."

Disaster relief is the business of the court, not merchants.

After sending Shao Qing away, County Magistrate Feng breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally left."

"Not necessarily." Du Qingchen frowned, "He knows that there is food in Pingxing County, and maybe he doesn't like it now, but if there is something urgently needed, no matter how little it is, he will dig it out."

County magistrate Feng choked, but he was speechless, because what Du Qingchen said was right, no matter how little food was in a crisis, Mr. Shao would not let it go.But at that time, their county must be in danger!How can I send my own food outside to save others?

"Then what should we do?" Magistrate Feng was a little anxious.

Du Qingchen was helpless, he also knew Feng County Magistrate's temper, there must be a way, but he was also sure that Feng County Magistrate was too lazy to do it and was afraid of taking responsibility.

For example, from now on, encourage the people to stockpile food, encourage villagers to dig deep wells, so as not to die of thirst due to lack of water in times of famine, and then submit an application to buy grain with treasury money for backup. Yes, but County Magistrate Feng is a lazy and incompetent person, and he never troubles himself if he can't do anything.

Du Qingchen opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't speak. He sighed, shook his head and left.

Mr. Liu didn't think about it that much, he also thought of the methods Du Qingchen thought of, although not as detailed as Du Qingchen thought, so he said to County Magistrate Feng: "It's better to use Kuyin, before the price of food has risen too much Gao, let’s buy a batch first.”

"How can Ku Yin use it so easily! Not to mention whether the boss will allow it or not, but to say that after buying the grain, if it rains in a few days! If the grain is spoiled and the money is spent, who will bear the responsibility?!" County magistrate Feng really answered like this.

After Du Qingchen died, Mrs. Liu and Magistrate Feng almost quarreled. Mrs. Liu was never afraid of anyone in this kind of matter. Magistrate Feng has a gentle personality. He went back to the restaurant by himself.

In the restaurant, the doctor had already left. Du Rulin boiled medicine for Su Dong. Su Dong was sitting on the bed and drinking the medicine. It was probably because the medicine was too bitter. Su Dong frowned, but for the sake of the baby in his womb, he still endured After drinking it, Du Rulin took the bowl, handed over another bowl, and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, take a sip of water and press it down."

Du Qingchen quickly took out mung bean cakes and other small snacks from the bedside cabinet and handed them to Su Dong, "Eat a piece of cake to suppress the taste."

Su Dong raised his eyes to see Du Qingchen, laughed, and took Du Rulin's water with one hand, and the pastry that Du Qingchen handed over with the other, and ate both.

Du Qingchen was helpless, "You eat so much, do you want to eat later?" You can put down Du Rulin's water!

Su Dong just smiled and stroked his stomach with one hand.

Du Rulin raised his eyebrows, took the bowl and left silently. Du Qingchen sat beside Su Dong's bed, looking a little lonely.

"What's wrong?" Su Dong asked.

"It's nothing, I'm just worried that if it doesn't rain and you're pregnant again, what should you do if there's a disaster?" Du Qingchen said in a low voice.

Su Dong said: "It's all right! There were droughts in previous years, so the other family should have a baby, isn't it? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Can that be the same?Du Qingchen looked back at Su Dong with a complicated expression. He was no one else. The reason why the villagers gave birth to many children was because children were prone to die young, and childbearing was also a great difficulty for men and women, requiring excellent medical facilities. But in the countryside, This kind of thing is almost resigned.It is true that other people's families should have children, but what is the child mortality rate?What is the death rate of the brothers and women who give birth? !Not to mention in times of disaster!The villagers can get used to it, but he can't!

So he was worried, afraid, even terrified.

He is not a saint, when he rescued the children in the Chen family's secret road, he hesitated everywhere, he is not as good as Su Junxia, ​​and he is still the same now.County magistrate Feng is incompetent and ineffective, which makes people feel powerless. The imperial envoy comes from a powerful background and must report his flaws. He also remembers that he has food in his hand. The villagers also know this. If there is a disaster, this batch of food may bring him infinite trouble.

Du Qingchen secretly made up his mind, and said softly to Su Dong: "If it doesn't rain all the time, and Rulin has to rush for the exam, shall we go together? Take my father, your parents, and we will live in the provincial capital for a while. Accompany Rulin to take the exam, and I will also find you a good doctor, Wen Po, to help you deliver the baby, okay?"

Since there is nothing you can do, it is better to escape.
