Feng Qingbai is gone, but the day must go on.
A few days later, the imperial decree arrived in Yunzhou, and at the same time there was 800,000 taels of relief funds allocated by the imperial court.
Liu Zhixia was even more busy.
Liu Yusheng, Qian Wanjin and others were not able to stay idle either. The wine shop in their hands needed to be reorganized. Because of the flood, the orders they had received before could not be completed, and the transaction was interrupted for a while.
It needs to be delivered to people as soon as possible.
At the same time, the workers in the distillery urgently need to go to work and earn money in order to survive the disaster.
In their hands, there are hundreds of families waiting for them to feed.
When I was busy, I didn't even have time to spend time with my family.
The children were too tired to sit upright. The old couple of the Liu family felt pain in their eyes and changed the law every day to give them good food.
In addition, there is a pregnant woman in the Fuzhong.
It's just that Yunzhou has just gone through the flood, and there is no food to buy in the vegetable market in Fucheng.
The chickens, ducks and geese that were seen everywhere in the past could not be found, and they were washed away by the floods long ago.
Even the pork is very small, and it will be robbed as soon as it is displayed. If you go a little later, you can't buy anything.
Worried the two elders.
After the children were asleep that day, the two elders returned to the room.
Old Lady Liu sat on the bed, frowning, "The flood has passed. Old man, how long will you have to wait for this day to be restored?"
Elder Liu said helplessly, "A flood has washed everything away. If you want to restore it to its original state, it takes only half a year. You can't recover at all. You can only do it slowly."
"It's a simmer, but if you look at the children who are tired like that, after half a month of effort, their jaws are sharp, and they are so busy every day, how can we go on like this? Let's think Think of a way, if you can’t do anything else, you can’t even give them a good table, so what use is there for the two of us to stay here?"
Old man Liu frowned and thought for a while, "Why don't we go to the countryside for a trip? See if we can have some game or something. If people in the mountains have no food to eat, they will go hunting in the mountains. Received some good things back."
"Yeah," the old woman's face lit up, "Why didn't I expect? Then we'll go there tomorrow, if someone sells it, it doesn't matter if it's more expensive, let's buy it all! You didn't see the radish stewed cabbage tonight, Little Gold's face turned into a dish after eating it."
The old man nodded, "Okay, let's go there tomorrow. Now the two of us are the most leisurely in this mansion. Even Yuzheng has a big belly. Discuss how to help with the four major families. Zhixia lightens the burden. The two of us who have lived for decades can't compare to the children?"
It was settled. The next day, after all the children in the family went out, watching Fu Yuzheng fall asleep, the two elders quietly figured out the door.
It's not that they want to sneak in. It is the children who take them seriously, saying that there are a lot of waste outside, and there are many refugees and beggars in the city, running around in a mess.
I'm afraid that the two old people will go out and bump into each other, or encounter something, so during this period of time they are rarely allowed to go out by themselves.
If you let the children know that they are going to the countryside to collect game, they won't even want to step out of the yamen gate.
There are still people coming and going on the street, but there is no smile on everyone's face, and there is a sad cloud between their eyebrows.
In the corners of the streets and lanes, beggars and refugees were piled up in twos and threes, nesting in the corner, with hollow eyes and numb expression.
Only when someone approaches, there will be a little light in the eyes, and when the person walks over, that light will disappear again.
Staying in Fucheng for more than half a month, this kind of situation is already commonplace, but when the two elders see it, they still feel uncomfortable, and they feel depressed and uncomfortable.
"It will get better in the future. Our family Zhixia and the children will definitely build the city better and more prosperous than before. After this catastrophe, Yunzhou will surely be able to get better weather." The old man said in a low voice. I don't know if I am comforting the old woman or comforting myself.
But the children's efforts for Yunzhou are all in their eyes, and they believe that there will be that day.
At this time Liu Yusheng, Qian Wanjin and Shi Xianrou had just arrived at Luxi Village.
Because of the need to rectify the wine shop and start work again, during this period, they had to travel between Fucheng and Cangwu Town almost every day to gather the village chiefs to discuss the next plan together.
The flood washed away everything that could be washed away.
The house was damaged, the poultry was washed away, and none of the crops in the field survived. It was the tenacious rice in Xinghua Village. The seedlings survived, but the ears of rice on the stalks were washed away, leaving only a bare stalk.
There are also medicinal materials used by the wine shop as raw materials, all soaked in water to rot and mold. The tea tree was not spared either, and even the root system was rotten.
If the wine shop wants to restart, it will not work without materials.
So I called the big guys to discuss, temporarily buy materials from other states, and deal with it.
Although this will greatly increase the cost, it is better than having no work to open, and the workers in the wine shop have no work to do.
"I have already ordered a batch of tea from Yuzhou, and I will speed up the work in the next few days. As for the medicinal materials, they have to be purchased from major pharmacies. I can't raise enough in a short while, so I have to slow down. "Liu Yusheng said, asking the village chiefs by the way, "has the repairs of the damaged areas of the wine shops been completed?"
The head of Luxi Village nodded, "The repairs have been completed. All the people in the village helped to work together, and within a few days, the wine shop was restored to its original appearance, just waiting for work."
No work means no food to eat.
The workers have become anxiously angry all this time.
As soon as I heard that as long as the distillery was reorganized, we could start working. Everyone was able to help and repair the distillery as quickly as possible. What we were waiting for was a word from the two owners.
The same is true in other villages.
Liu Yusheng nodded, "The time will be the day after tomorrow. At that time, the raw materials will be delivered directly into the wine shop."
Hearing this, several village chiefs raised their eyebrows and nodded frequently.
"Okay, start work the day after tomorrow!"
After discussing with the village chiefs, and there was still some time, Liu Yusheng, Qian Wanjin and Shi Xianrou sat in a carriage to see the wineries in the villages.
Only by confirming the specific circumstances of the completion of the repair can we be more assured.
After all, it is a house that has been soaked in water, no matter how strong it is, there will be hidden dangers.
When the workers are working, they are in the wine shop. If something happens, it will threaten the workers' lives.
This kind of thing must be completely avoided.
During this time of travel, Shi Xianrou followed them.
When Feng Qingbai returned to Beijing, she did not go back with the same road and stayed in Yunzhou temporarily.
Therefore, when inspecting the wine shop, the three of them worked together. Liu Yusheng and Qian Wanjin were responsible for inspecting the corners of the walls, and Shi Xianrou was responsible for the roof.
When the three of them had checked all the wine rooms, it was the beginning of night when they returned to Fucheng.
Liu Zhixia also just returned from work.
Several people met at the Yamen and returned home together.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard a lot of noise inside.
