Chapter 295 Falling Snow
Chapter 295 Falling Snow
It was the first time that Xiao Ran ate a pear that had turned black due to the freezing. He looked at Lin Xiaomi suspiciously, wondering if the fruit was sure to be rotten.
Why is my wife's taste so different?
But when he saw that his father-in-law and his family were eating with great relish and looked very happy, he couldn't help but want to try it. If they had eaten the internal organs, what else could they not eat?
I picked up a persimmon and it felt terrible, so soft that it seemed rotten inside.
He took a sip, imitating the others, and was instantly surprised by the unique taste. The cool and sweet taste with the unique softness of persimmons was unexpectedly delicious. He took another bite, savoring the taste he had never tasted before.
Lin Xiaomi watched Xiao Ran gradually accept these new foods, and said with a smile: "Frozen pears and frozen persimmons can relieve the heat of hot pot. We are in the greenhouse every day, and it is easy to get angry. Eating this is especially good!"
Xiao Ran nodded. This was much easier to accept than beef offal. Later he would ask his father-in-law if there was any more at home. He wanted to bring some back for his family. His parents and grandfather were also prone to getting angry in winter.
Although this frozen fruit does not look good, it has a unique flavor and can also reduce internal heat.
The next day.
Lin Dashan looked at the snowflakes falling outside and felt a little worried. "My girl, the snow keeps falling. Will it be difficult for you to walk on the road?" He was really reluctant to let Xiaomi leave, but he couldn't keep her.
"No, there are a lot of cars on the official road, so the snow won't accumulate very deep. Dad, this year's weather seems to be colder than in previous years."
"Isn't it cold? Have you ever seen such a thick snow? Come inside quickly, it's cold outside."
Lin Xiaomi and Wang sat in the greenhouse and didn't want to go anywhere.
"Mom, it's so cold, why don't we have hotpot tonight!"
"Okay, the hotpot is warm." Wang told Guan to go down and tell the kitchen.
"Dad, how is the business of my uncle and grandma's shop?"
She only saw them once after she came back and didn't ask about these things.
"Our products must be easy to sell. Some time ago, both families said that they wanted to open a branch store in another town!"
"Really? Actually, if there are suitable people to look after the shops, it's okay to open a few more shops. Try to find more prosperous counties and towns. The soaps and oily skins we sell are not cheap either."
"That's what I mean. If they are willing, they can open a shop in Pingyang County, Fucheng, or other counties. It's just that it's hard to find a reliable shopkeeper."
Lin Xiaomi nodded. Even if she bought someone, he might not be reliable.
"Xiaomi, what if your second uncle and third uncle also want to buy goods from us?"
"Dad, the county town is actually not that big, and there are only so many people who buy things. If everyone opens a shop, no one will make any money.
So, didn’t I say at the beginning that it would be best for grandma and uncle to separate and not open a shop in the same place? At most one shop in the town and two in the county town.”
Lin Dashan nodded and said that those two companies were indeed like that. If you opened one here, he would go somewhere else.
"Uncle 2, Uncle 3 can do it if they want. First, we don't owe any money for goods. We can get whatever price we give to others. We have to pay for the goods and we don't accept credit.
Second, they cannot open new shops in places where they already have them.”
Lin Dashan:......
You can just say no. The third brother's business is in the county town, and it is doing well. It is impossible for him to leave Pingyang County. Dad follows the second brother, so it is even more impossible for him to leave here.
My daughter has so many twists and turns.
At night, Xiao Ran tossed and turned in bed.
"What happened to the prince?"
"I'm worried that the people will have a hard time with such heavy snow."
Lin Xiaomi was silent. The poor people's cotton-padded jackets and quilts were mostly made of reed flowers. There was no charcoal at all. They used firewood to heat the kang. When it was cold, the amount of firewood needed was high, and the firewood stored in autumn might not be enough. And the houses were dilapidated, and the snow was too thick, which was also dangerous.
"Why don't we go back first?" If there is a natural disaster, my father-in-law will definitely be busy.
"No, we can't help if we go back. Xiaomi, how much silver did you bring back this time?"
Xiao Ran felt a little embarrassed. He thought that there would be few places to spend money when he returned here, so he didn't bring much with him.
"You're thinking……"
"Tomorrow I will ask people to find out if there are any people affected by the disaster nearby. There are also beggars in the city. I want to give them porridge and clothes."
Let’s get through this winter first.
"I have 5000 taels in my hand. If it's not enough, my parents still have some. We can use it first and send someone to pay it back later."
Lin Xiaomi was not stingy about doing good deeds. This was a good deed to accumulate blessings and do good deeds. But she felt that it was enough. Ordinary people were much more sensitive to natural disasters than they were. They only felt that the snow was a bit too much in the past two days. She believed that most people had already realized it.
"I still have 2000 taels, which should be enough."
"Don't worry about it. Go to sleep. Get up early tomorrow and send someone to check on the situation."
"it is good."
[PS: Those who like to read about escaping from famine can read another book written by Dada, written by Xiaohao, you need to search the title, "Farmer Girl Has Space, Wandering on the Road to Escape from Famine". It is not a group escape, but a two-person escape. It is a pure brainless article, and the hoarding is exaggerated. If you mind, read it carefully, and you are welcome to give more comments. Thank you]
