Liu Shichu saw that Wen Rumin had completely stabilized the situation, and once again told her to pay attention to the safety of her home and store food, and then left the Cui family.
After personally seeing that both family members were fine, she was completely relieved. Then she finally remembered that she still had a tavern. The tavern was still open during the earthquake. Although today was not a holiday day, there were not too many drinkers, but the tavern still had business hours. There was wine everywhere, and the wine jars and wine glasses were not strong containers. The earthquake would definitely have damaged many of them, so the situation was not going to be good.
Mentally prepared to see a bunch of drinkers and injured waiters, Liu Shichu arrived in front of the tavern, but couldn't help but his eyes widened in shock!
It's not that the situation is worse than she imagined, on the contrary, it's much better than she imagined.
"Boss, you're finally here? Are you okay?" Qi Zhixi, who was following a waiter to carry out a jar of surviving wine from the half-filled tavern, saw Liu Shichu and immediately said in surprise, and asked her After looking up and down, he found that the clothes on her body were obviously stained and even had red patches, so he became worried again.
Liu Shichu shook his head and said, "I'm fine. How is the situation in our store? Are there any casualties?"
Qi Zhixi put down the wine jar, wiped his hands and said:
"Three customers and two clerks were injured, but the situation was not serious. Others were frightened and are still in shock. The damage in our store was relatively large. You can also see that half of the house collapsed, but we The tavern house was built relatively solidly, and this half of it collapsed near the end of the earthquake. At that time, almost all the people in the store escaped, so no one was killed."
Qi Zhixi felt a little lucky when he said this. If the fruit tavern was not built strong enough like the shops next to it, many people would be crushed to death when it collapsed.
"That's good. As long as everyone is fine, other losses in the store don't matter." Liu Shichu said with a sigh of relief. Whether they were drinkers or waiters, if they died in the bar during the earthquake, then she, as the boss, must have escaped. She cannot afford to lose her responsibility, but luckily the tavern she built is strong enough.
"By the way, after the earthquake stopped, I asked a doctor next door to help apply medicine and bandage to the injured customers and clerks in the store. I just asked a few uninjured clerks to send them home one by one. ." Qi Zhixi said with a smile,
"Our tavern is half empty and there is no place to house them, so it is best to send them home and be taken care of by their families. Of course, I also gave them ten taels of silver each for medical expenses."
Qi Zhixi looked at Liu Shichu, wondering what she meant, and asked: "You won't blame me for taking the initiative, right? I'm just afraid that their family will make trouble, and if they are also affected by the earthquake, If so, with this money, I can be temporarily more comfortable..."
"You are right to do this. It is necessary to appease them in time." Liu Shichu said. She looked at Qi Zhixi with some surprise. She did not expect that he was quite far-sighted. Although the earthquake was a natural disaster, she had no unnecessary responsibility. To compensate the injured customers and staff for medical expenses, but taking the initiative to pay can save a lot of subsequent trouble.
Qi Zhixi couldn't help but smile when he heard Liu Shichu's exaggeration. But when he saw the tragic situation around him and remembered that now was not the time to be happy, he immediately stopped his smile and said, "There are still some undamaged wines in there." Wine glasses, tables and chairs, I was just looking for these things with two guys."
Liu Shichu looked at the mess of the tavern and had a headache. There were still some good things in the ruins. If they were not picked out in time, they would definitely be picked up by others, but it would take time and effort to pick them up.
But when I think about it, the tavern will definitely have to be rebuilt, and it won't be soon. After all, after the earthquake in the capital, collapsed houses are everywhere, people are displaced, and there are many people who need to rebuild their houses. Those who build houses The craftsmen must be very busy, and Liu Shichu would not be so heartless as to snatch workers from the people who are eager to build a place to live.
Moreover, her tavern sells alcohol, which is not a necessity for the people. After this natural disaster, the business will definitely take a long time to recover, so there is no need to rush to rebuild.
If you are not in a hurry to rebuild, you will have to find a place to put the things you picked up from the ruins.
"Then you go find the things that are not broken first, and then I will find someone to move them to my village outside Beijing. The situation there should not be too bad." Liu Shichu said.
Some of the wine and wine vessels she has here are quite valuable. If they can be recovered, the loss will be less.
Qi Zhixi went back to look for things again with two guys. Liu Shichu returned to Liu's house. The nieces and nephews worked together and not only set up several large tents, but also recovered a lot of rice. The injured and other servants have resumed their work, and everything is in order.
Although the atmosphere is still relatively gloomy, except for a few servants who unfortunately did not have time to escape, everyone in the Liu family survived. Compared with other families, the casualties were not too heavy, so there were no slaves in the Liu family to steal while their master was suffering heavy casualties. The situation of fighting over the owner’s property.
"Sister-in-law, has the situation at home settled down?" Liu Shichu asked Wang.
Wang had already changed out of her blood-stained clothes and was drinking water with a calm expression. If you hadn't looked at her legs, you would have thought that she was not in a simple tent, but in her gorgeous hall. Drink tea inside.
He regained his composure so quickly. As expected, Jiang is still very old. He has experienced many things and can quickly calm down in any situation.
When Wang saw that she had come back well, with all her arms and legs intact, the calmness on her face was instantly broken. She glared at Liu Shichu and then said, "Fortunately nothing happened to you! The Earth Dragon hadn't turned over before. When it was over, you ran out in a hurry. I was afraid that something would happen to you. You are also very courageous. You are still so impulsive at your age. If something happened to you, how would I tell your brother..."
He was scolded immediately, and Liu Shichu said with a bitter face: "Sister-in-law, nothing happened to me? I'm back fine. Your worries are unnecessary. You'd better take good care of yourself."
Wang still scolded her for a while before she remembered to ask Wen Rumin about their situation: "Are Wen and Jinrong okay?"
"It's okay, everything is fine. I told Mrs. Wen to pay special attention to the security of the house recently and be careful of those people outside who fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to smash, smash and rob."
"It's okay. You're right. There will be chaos after the disaster. This time the earth dragon turned around was so loud. I don't know how many people died outside, but there will be chaos for a while." Wang thought of this incident. The seriousness of the natural disaster made his face look heavy.
"Yes, I saw that the situation outside is very miserable. There are ruins everywhere and there are heavy casualties. I don't know if the court will take measures to appease the capital. The capital cannot continue to be in chaos." Liu Shichu said, if such a disaster happens, if it is dealt with If not done well, it can easily cause civil unrest.
