The old woman was a little far away, so she didn't hear Jiang Yifeng's words clearly. She thought someone was going to kidnap her daughter, so she rushed up immediately.

But when he got closer, he saw that it was Jiang Yifeng. The anxiety on his face turned into joy, and he insisted on dragging Jiang Yifeng home to sit down.

Jiang Yifeng couldn't defeat the old woman, so he had to take Xu Ning and Tang Shubai to follow the old woman home, and in the corner of the house, he saw the three big hens hanging from his mouth.

"Benefactor, please sit in your room."

The old woman invited Jiang Yifeng into the house and moved the only bench in the house.

"good!"

Although Jiang Yifeng smelled the smell of chicken feces and various weird smells at the door, he still got into the dark and damp earth house.

The earth house has not yet been built. Only half of the wall is made of compacted earth, and the upper part is made of branches and straw, which serves as a temporary shelter from wind and rain.

There is nothing we can do about this.

There are thousands of victims in Meishan. It would take a lot of time to build houses one by one, so we can only build some simple ones for each household first.

Try to ensure that every disaster victim has a place to shelter from wind and rain before winter comes.

The old woman's mud house has not yet been built, but it is already much better than others. Many people do not even have such a semi-finished mud house.

Xu Ning and Tang Shubai looked at the earthen house and felt that describing it as a house with only four walls was a compliment.

The table in the house is a wooden pillar made of tree roots. Judging from the color, it must have been cut down not long ago. The bed is made of some cinders spread on the ground, with straw on top of the cinders. There is no bedding, only a few rags.

Seeing such an environment, they couldn't help but blush when they thought about how they complained about their bad life in the past.

"Er Niu went to work?"

When Daya mentioned the three chickens, Jiang Yifeng guessed whose house it was.

Unfortunately, Li Erniu was not at home and went to the mine to dig coal.

This village was not built in the mine in Meishan. Instead, Jiang Yifeng moved it outside Meishan and found a place near the river.

"Went early in the morning."

With a smile on her face, the old woman said: "He is very busy now. He has to dig mines, cut tree bark, and help others to work in order to let others build a house for our family early."

The victims don’t have much money, so when they need help, you help me and I help you.

Others helped Li Erniu's family build a house, so Li Erniu naturally wanted to help them back.

only……

Jiang Yifeng asked worriedly: "Er Niu works hard every day, can your body handle it?"

The old woman was quite proud, "Our silly sons are very strong. As long as we have a full stomach and are strong enough to work, we will be fine."

"That won't work either. If you can't keep up with nutrition, something will happen sooner or later."

If there is a lot of fish and meat every day, it is no problem to work so intensively. The key is that I can only eat rice every day, and there is almost no oil or water.

Although rice is already a very good food for disaster victims, the bodies of working people cannot bear it at all.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yifeng stood up suddenly and said, "Old man, I have to go back for a while and come back to see you in a few days."

"Let me send my benefactor to you!"

"No!"

Jiang Yifeng rejected the old woman and left with Xu Ning and Tang Shubai.

When he reached the entrance of the village, Jiang Yifeng suddenly stopped and asked: "You have also seen the situation of these victims. Do you still have the determination to build the world?"

Hearing this, Xu Ning hesitated.

He originally thought that his ambition to establish the world was to serve as an official in the court and make suggestions for His Majesty in the main hall.

But after arriving here, he realized how naive his previous thoughts were. The ambition to establish the world was not what he thought at all, but that he had to consider all aspects of life.

Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, these things that he had previously dismissed were what the common people needed most.

"have!"

Tang Shubai's tone was firm and he said word by word: "The people are the foundation of a country. If the foundation is not shaken but the branches and leaves are immobile, if I can't even deal with these victims, how can I talk about establishing the world."

"Okay, that's great."

Jiang Yifeng couldn't help but applaud.

Then, when Tang Shubai raised his head forty-five degrees and felt proud in his heart, Jiang Yifeng continued: "Since you are so determined, I will help you and you can stay!"

"Xu Ning, let's go."

With that said, Jiang Yifeng quickly took Xu Ning away.

"Wait a moment."

Tang Shubai hurriedly chased after me, "Boss, don't abandon me. There's not even a place to live here. How can I survive?"

"These victims can survive, why can't you?"

"They are used to suffering, but I can't do it."

"If you don't experience the suffering of these victims, how can you help them? If not, you have to do it."

"boss……"

"If you keep chasing me, I'll break your legs."

The distance from the village entrance to the carriage was not close. How could someone like Jiang Yifeng, who was not good at physical labor, outrun Tang Shubai.

Being chased urgently, he simply stopped and threatened Tang Shubai loudly.

that's all……

Tang Shubai could only stand alone at the entrance of the village, watching the carriage slowly leave.

Suddenly, he raised his hand and slapped his face, cursing: "You said you, you can do whatever you want, now you're fine, you can't go back."

On the carriage...

Xu Ning saw that Jiang Yifeng really didn't intend to take Tang Shubai back to Su City, so he couldn't help but worry: "Boss, Brother Tang has no power to restrain the chicken. I'm worried that he won't be able to bear it if he is left here."

Jiang Yifeng glanced at Xu Ning and said, "I'll give you two choices..."

"First, I think what you said makes sense, so I plan to keep you here and let you take care of him."

"Secondly, although your brother Tang has no power to restrain a chicken, he has extremely strong vitality and will definitely be able to withstand it."

When Xu Ning heard the two choices, he hesitated for a few seconds and said, "I just thought about it carefully. Brother Tang is a person who is used to living a hard life. This difficulty should not be difficult for him."

"So, boss, please keep your heart in your stomach and don't worry about him."

Jiang Yifeng glanced at Xu Ning with contempt and ignored him. He was thinking about how to make the victims eat better.

Buying meat?

it's out of the question!

There is no developed breeding technology in Dazhou, and there is simply not enough meat and eggs to eat. If you spend money to buy it, the price of meat and eggs in Sioux City will rise significantly in a few days.

By then, let alone him, even the Su family would be hard-pressed to support such a large expense.

"What a headache!"

“In this era, physical capital is scarce, and there are no good solutions.”

Thinking of this, Jiang Yifeng missed the fast-growing chickens and fast-growing pigs in his previous life that grew quickly but didn't taste very good.

It's a pity that these chickens and pigs were bred through breeding methods, and he didn't have this technology.

"How about... go to the market and see if you can buy some pigs?"

Jiang Yifeng suddenly thought of an ingredient that was often turned into treasure in other novels.
