"I went to the countryside yesterday and saw uncles and aunts there saying they couldn't sell their corn. It was getting moldy at home and they couldn't feed the chickens and ducks all the way, so they had to throw it all away."
Grandma Ruan continued, "To save money, people sell corn to restaurants to use as fuel. That's all food, what a waste!"
Now that everyone has enough food and clothes, this thing would be a life-saving meal in times of famine!
Grandma Ruan just felt it was a pity that everyone in China was now well fed and well clothed, but there were still people in other places who were not well fed and well clothed.
Eating cornmeal or tortillas is a luxury!
"Grandma thought since it was cheap, she could grind it into powder and send it to the people in Gan Country to eat. It would be of some use."
"Yeah, we can't waste food!" Ruanruan nodded seriously.
"A few days ago, I took some people to another province to investigate and help some villages get out of poverty. I found that some fruits in the villages were rotting on the trees and no one was picking them up. I asked people to buy some for a few cents a pound, but they all rotted after a few days if they were not picked."
Grandma Ruan is an agricultural expert and is occasionally invited to visit villages to be developed.
"There were also cabbages and soybeans that the villagers couldn't sell, so we contacted major supermarkets and wet markets. Modern people have very high requirements for quality and appearance, so in the end we only bought a small amount."
"It would be a shame to let the remaining ones rot in the fields, so I asked someone to buy them back."
"The main reason is that the transportation of these fruits and vegetables is too time-consuming and the transportation costs are also high, so everyone can only distribute them within a short distance."
Ruan Jingye smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom. You are so thoughtful. This way, we won't waste them and we can send them to those who need them the most."
Mr. Ruan also nodded in agreement.
Ruanruan moved to Grandma Ruan's side and hugged her, "Hey, Grandma, you're awesome!"
"How about this, Mom, next time you go out for an inspection, just bring Ruanruan with you. That way you don't have to worry about transportation issues." Ruan Jingye said with a smile.
Mr. Ruan nodded. "This is a good idea. It can also keep fruits and vegetables fresh to the greatest extent. I agree!"
Ruan Ruan followed up, "I agree too!"
"This is indeed a good idea. It can save transportation costs, help farmers sell these agricultural products, and help the people of the country." Grandma Ruan pondered.
"Hehe, this is called killing three birds with one stone." Ruanruan scratched his head.
——
On the other side, Qingzhou Post Station of Gan State.
Xiao Qinbei and his son were sitting at the big round table in the main hall when a servant walked in.
The attendant saluted and said, "Sir, we have checked it out. This young genius doctor from Qingzhou is as good as his name!"
"I heard that when Princess Jin came to Qingzhou, she was seriously ill. On the way, she met a young doctor and was saved by him. The doctor followed her to Youzhou and saved the governor of Youzhou and the sick people of Youzhou."
"We've arrived. Qingzhou has rescued the seriously injured General Rong, as well as Prince Jin and others. I heard that General Rong was almost dead, but the young doctor brought him back to life with his miraculous hands."
Xiao Shunan curled his lips, "No wonder the people of Qingzhou and the people of Prince Jin's Mansion all think so highly of that child."
"You have superb medical skills at such a young age. That's really remarkable."
It’s no wonder that the kid is so bold, after all, she does have the qualifications.
Xiao Qinbei rubbed the teacup in his hand with his fingertips, his brows slightly raised, feeling proud and satisfied.
He is truly worthy of being a child of the Xiao Palace.
But she was so young, only four years old, but the King of Jin asked her to learn so many things. Ruanruan had no idea how much suffering she had endured.
Fortunately, this child is smart and a genius!
The attendant continued, "Oh, and the Prince of Jin's mansion is guarded by elite soldiers every day. I sent people to inquire about it, but I couldn't find out anything."
"I only heard that there are things gifted by the gods hidden inside, and the people treat the Prince of Jin's Mansion like a god."
"Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous!" Xiao Qinbei slammed the table with a gloomy face.
The King of Jin clearly used God as an excuse to quickly gain the trust of the people in the city.
Xiao Qinbei curled his lips, "That's all there is to it. A small Qingzhou, in order to hold onto power, actually resorted to supernatural powers to persuade the people."
"Dad, I think King Jin is extremely pedantic. He not only relies on 'God' but also relies on a child to build his prestige." Xiao Shunan said with disdain.
The attendant pursed his lips and swallowed, "Prince..."
"I also found out that the vegetables in the shop that supplies the people come from a greenhouse outside Qingzhou. I heard that vegetables can be grown in that greenhouse."
Xiao Qinbei paused after hearing this, "This... How is this possible!"
This is as ridiculous as that god. How can you grow vegetables in the middle of winter?
"Really? I specially asked someone to check it out." The attendant lowered his head.
Xiao Shunan: "Dad, this is impossible, it's so ridiculous!"
"No, I have to go and confirm it myself."
He quickly stood up and was about to walk out when he ran into a servant who was delivering food.
"Sir, where are you going? Why don't you have dinner first?"
"Today the kitchen has newly braised pig's trotters, steamed spareribs, and beef soup. These are specially prepared by the prince. Please eat them while they are hot." said the attendant.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shunan quickly stopped and walked back. Meat? Really meat?
He hasn't eaten any meat for two or three months.
The servant put the food box on the table, opened the lid, and took out the dishes one by one.
There was a bowl of beef soup on the table, and the bowl was full of beef.
There was also a bowl of pig's trotters, which were shiny and looked delicious. Xiao Shunan could even smell the aroma of the braised pork.
The servant brought out another bowl of steamed pork ribs, sprinkled some chopped green onions on the ribs, and the fragrance spread throughout the room.
Xiao Shunan stared at the meat in the bowl and couldn't help swallowing. He impatiently grabbed the chopsticks to pick up the food and hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth, scalding his mouth.
He spit it out but didn't care about the heat and stuffed it into his mouth again.
He also simply ignored Xiao Qinbei's sidelong glance.
Seeing him like this, the attendant smiled and said, "Prince and Young Master, please enjoy your meal slowly. I will take my leave first."
Xiao Qinbei's face was extremely pale. When he saw the man leave, he immediately glanced at the guard who was staring at his dining table.
"You go down."
The guard swallowed, nodded quickly, and closed the door when he left.
"Dad, I didn't expect Qingzhou to be so rich. Not only do they have vegetables, they also have meat, and there are so many kinds of it."
"They live a life like godsons. The people eat better than us." Xiao Shunan said as he stuffed beef into his mouth.
When he thought of the hard days he had lived, he couldn't help but want to cry.
Although there was no meat to eat in Bian Jing, at least there was some meat soup. When they arrived in other places in Gan Country, they could only drink pickled vegetable porridge every day.
When traveling, we only have dry bread to eat.
They say Qingzhou is poor, but they are the poorest.
He really wanted to stay in Qingzhou forever.
"They don't need the food we sent them. They are so well-off..."
He felt ashamed to talk about it, and almost made a fool of himself!
When I think of my arrogance when I came here...
