"If it was really as hard as when I was selling fish to earn money, I might not be so generous."
Furthermore, during the apocalypse, he had heard countless people say that if they could go back to before the apocalypse, they would inform the country no matter what so that they could concentrate all their efforts to fight against the apocalypse.
People in the apocalypse can only assume, but now he is really facing this situation. He already knows that there will be a severe drought that will even lack domestic water. How can he sit still?
Anyway, they were close, so he came over and tried his best. Regardless of whether his meager strength could be used, at least he felt at ease.
Hearing this, Tao Zhu raised his eyes to look at the bright moon above his head, his face full of yearning: "It would be great if I could go with you to see you in your previous life."
Of course, it must be before the end of the world.
What a wonderful world it is. A journey of thousands of miles can be reached in an hour.
All kinds of recipes are free of charge and are placed directly on the Internet.
Moreover, everyone can have enough to eat. With a population of more than one billion, it is truly remarkable to achieve this.
"... Go back and have a good dream tonight, maybe there will be something in your dream."
After Li Qiao finished speaking, he threw the last water ball into the Li Er River and quickly released the water in the water ball. Then he led Tao Zhu on his horse and returned to the inn.
It's getting late, and the gate to the county town will be closed if we don't go back.
In this way, Li Qiao and his group walked and threw water balloons all the way, spending a whole month to see the four major rivers in their home.
I don’t know whether it was because the time was not there, the location was wrong, or maybe Li Qiao’s water polo played a role. Although the place they traveled was dry, they did not encounter a situation that was so dry that they could not even guarantee domestic water supply.
I have never heard of such extreme drought conditions occurring anywhere.
By the time we returned to Shengjing, the hot summer had passed.
On the second day after returning to Shengjing, it rained. It rained not only in Shengjing, but also in the entire Jibei Province.
Before going to bed at night, listening to the sound of rain outside the window, Tao Zhu couldn't help but said: "In my opinion, the river dug by our family and your water polo have played a role. With so much surface water fighting the drought, groundwater will be saved. .”
"If the groundwater level does not drop, there will be no shortage of water in rivers and wells. In this way, the extreme drought mentioned by Gao Zhiyuan will not come."
After that, he turned over in Li Qiao's arms, and Li Qiao changed from holding him behind him to the two of them lying face to face: "Do you think so?"
Li Qiao looked into his clear water eyes, stretched out her hand and took him back into her arms: "I hope so."
"That's what I think."
Tao Zhu's tone was firm.
Such a severe drought should have been solved by Lijia Dahe and Li Qiao's water polo.
"We'll see next year. If there's no severe drought next year, it's just as you said." Li Qiao said, patting his back: "Go to sleep. If it doesn't rain tomorrow, you have to lead the three of them to the shop." Woolen cloth."
Tao Zhu closed his eyes when he heard this, but he couldn't help but pray in his heart that the severe drought would not come, otherwise Li Qiao would be the one who had the hardest time.
Chapter 262 Sheng Hong decides to go on tour
The next day, it still rained lightly.
The heat was driven away by the rain. Wearing only a summer shirt, it was neither cold nor hot, and the temperature was very comfortable.
The three little ones, Li Xiaorui, Li Changfeng, and Li Yunfan, got up early in the morning. Not only did they fold their bedding into tofu cubes, they were also active in eating, holding a small bowl in one hand and grabbing chopsticks in the other to eat rice in big gulps. , not picky at all.
After their bellies bulged, the three of them put down their bowls and chopsticks and looked at Tao Zhu and Li Dashan.
They are full and ready to go to the shop!
Tao Zhu was stared at by their fiery eyes, so he quickly finished his breakfast and rode a carriage to the hot pot shop in the light rain.
In summer, the Li family's hot pot shop changes to cold pot Chuan Chuan and Chuan Chuan Xiang, and diners can choose which one they want to eat according to their taste.
As soon as Li Dashan arrived at the shop, he went straight to the kitchen to check the hygiene.
Those who can enter Li's shop are either rich or expensive. The taste of such people's business can be mediocre, but it must not be disgusting to gods like them because of the sanitary conditions.
Therefore, the most important thing for the food sold by the Li family is hygiene.
The three little guys followed Li Dashan, holding a hard-cover booklet in one hand and a charcoal pencil in the other, ready to record what they saw during the day.
Watching Li Dashan inspecting the hygiene, the three of them observed carefully, their little faces filled with confidence.
They can do this too~
Watching Li Dashan check the freshness of vegetables and meat, they widened their eyes. This is a blind area of knowledge, and they cannot distinguish the freshness of meat.
If you don’t understand, humbly ask for advice.
Later, he helped Li Dashan prepare dipping sauces and condiments. The Li family's pot base was cooked elsewhere, but the dipping condiments and condiments were made in the shop by the Li family's clerks. Although Li Dashan was a Li family cook, Qiao's nephew, but he will also help.
Soon, the shop opened, diners entered the shop to consume, and Li Dashan started to get really busy.
He has to keep an eye on the dishes being served in the kitchen, and also keep an eye on the diners' reactions - although Li's shop has many terms and conditions, its service attitude is excellent.
When it's time to finish the meal, I'll take a few glances at the ledger, and if any ingredients are out of stock, I'll urge people to quickly replenish them.
In short, at the end of the day, Li Dashan was very busy.
The three little guys also followed for a day.
By the time they were on the carriage home, the three little guys, who had always been very energetic, were exhausted. They leaned in the arms of Tao Zhu and Li Dashan and fell asleep soundly before they even returned to the house.
In fact, Li Dashan's daily busy work does not require him to do it himself. Li Qiao can completely arrange these tedious tasks for others.
But Li Dashan disagreed.
Li Dashan doesn't feel that these tasks are tiring at all. Compared with growing crops in the past, this is not tiring at all.
Moreover, regardless of whether it is a hygiene issue, the true response of customers, or the account books, which one is not important?
Every item is crucial!
The hot pot shop was an important pillar of the Li family's business, and he could only feel at ease by watching it in person.
After experiencing the busyness of Li Dashan, the three little guys, Li Xiaorui, Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan, had a clearer understanding of making money.
It’s really hard to make money.
Business in the shop was so good that they were busy from morning until afternoon before they could sit down and take a good rest. Their legs were sore from standing there!
What's even more frightening is that after a long day's work, they only received one tael of silver for their wages!
One tael, only one tael!
They are paid according to the wage standards of Li Dashan, Li Ershan, Li Shu and others. Because they live in Shengjing, their wages are lower than those of Li Chuntao, Li Chunsheng and others in Sanliu Village. They only have thirty taels of silver a month. .
Thirty taels are averaged to each day, and the wages for that day are one tael of silver.
The combined wages of the three of them could not afford to buy a keel waterwheel, let alone a bamboo pipe.
Moreover, because the water tanker and bamboo pipes donated to the old man in Jibei Province were on credit, they only had time to grab the one tael of silver they earned and touch it in their little hands before Tao Zhu took it away. gone.
Looking at their empty paws, the three of them looked at me and I looked at you, and then they all sighed.
With their status, it is so difficult for them to earn even one tael of silver, let alone those who are extremely poor.
The sweet potatoes that farmers have worked so hard to grow cost only two cents per pound!
Moreover, when they were in the shop yesterday, they saw a widower who had a broken arm and was responsible for lighting the fire. The widower's monthly salary was 2,800 copper.
well.
It’s not easy for the people at the bottom.
Before the debt was paid off, the three little guys continued to work in the shop. After paying off the money they owed Li Qiao, while taking martial arts classes in the afternoon, the three of them climbed up the wall and talked to Sheng Shiyu, who was also taking martial arts classes. This is a difficult working process.
Sheng Shiyu was quite surprised. The experiences of these three younger brothers were indeed extremely rich.
However, the three younger brothers are actually great. They earned a keel waterwheel at a young age. He is older than the three of them, but he has never earned a penny.
As an elder brother, how could he lose to his three younger brothers?
After the martial arts class was over, he approached his father and expressed that he wanted to make money with his own strength. As for how to earn money, he had already thought about it.
He can sell calligraphy works.
Crops can also be grown.
There is no need to specifically mark it as his work, just how much it can be sold for. As for farming, his grandfather has always attached great importance to food issues. In recent years, scientific examination questions have forced students all over the world to learn to grow crops.
If he wanted to please his grandpa, not only to become an expert in farming, but at least to practice it and not just talk about it.
He doesn't plant anything special, just corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other high-yielding crops, and he only plants half an acre of land.
After harvesting, no matter whether it is sold or sent to the palace for his grandpa to taste, it will be excellent.
The eldest prince readily agreed to Sheng Shiyu's request.
But no, if you want to please his father, you must be down-to-earth and not just talk.
The days passed day by day, and soon the autumn harvest came.
The rain after Li Qiao and his party returned to Beijing greatly alleviated the drought in Jibei Province.
However, more than half of the crops in Jibei Province were not irrigated in time when they needed rain the most, so the yield of these crops was somewhat reduced.
Sheng Hong was quite calm. He had long been used to small scenes.
Oh my god, everything is not going smoothly.
He handed over the matter of autumn grain to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he was thinking about arrangements for next year.
A few days ago, he received a letter from Sheng Jun from Jiangnan. In the letter, Sheng Jun truthfully described the current situation in Jiangnan without any exaggeration.
But he was tempted to go to Jiangnan.
He wanted to see the red flowers and green willows in the south of the Yangtze River, and the hazy mist and rain.
This wasn't just a whim, it was just that he was a little bored.
Although he receives information from all over the world every day and is aware of the latest news from other places, there is nothing new under the sun. After being emperor for almost twenty years, there are only so many things that come and go. To sum up, it is human nature. He was a little tired of seeing the evil and good, regardless of whether it was evil or good.
No matter how vicious or touching the incident was, it could not arouse his emotions.
In recent years, he has been too lazy to write short essays.
He couldn't find anything new and interesting in Shengjing, so he thought about leaving the capital.
