Chapter 66: Wen Baolu Offers to Help Sell Grain
A gentle smile appeared on her face, "Why are you here?"
"I came here to express my gratitude to you, Madam. If you hadn't showed up in time, I'm afraid my brothers and I would have died in the flash flood."
As he said this, he knelt down and was stopped just as he was about to kowtow.
Zhu Mingqing pulled his hand hard, trying to pull him up.
You don’t have to kowtow to say thank you!
But Wen Baolu refused, and the two remained in a stalemate.
Luo Xiao couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he exerted force with his arms and pulled the man up.
"Such nagging, my mother said it's not necessary!"
The action was so rough that Zhu Mingqing's eyelids jumped.
Wen Baolu was not annoyed, but smiled at Luo Xiao.
No problem
Zhu Mingqing finally felt relieved.
This is a cash cow, we must not let it go!
Before she could bring it up, Wen Baolu spoke up: "Mrs. Zhu, I heard from Luo Tian..."
Halfway through his speech, he hesitated a little and asked directly if it was a bit rude.
"You say..." Zhu Mingqing looked at him encouragingly.
Seeing this, he no longer hesitated: "I heard that Madam has hoarded a lot of food and wants to sell it, but my status... is inconvenient. I can help, but I don't know if Madam can trust me."
So what if they are the exiled Luo family members?
I will repay you with my life in return for saving my life!
Luo Xiao was puzzled.
It is true that my mother has food, but when will she have enough to do business?
Zhu Mingqing smiled and said, "Sit down, shall we talk in detail?"
Then he gave Luo Xiao another look.
Luo Xiao originally thought that they were going to chase him away, so he stood there with a pout.
It was not until Zhu Mingqing looked at the teacup again that he understood.
He then grinned and handed two glasses of water, then listened.
Wen Baolu thanked him politely before looking at Zhu Mingqing:
"May I ask how much food Madam has?"
The food in Zhu Mingqing's hands was collected from the royal palace, and some of it appeared automatically in the fairy palace after it was repaired.
Nowadays, the flow of time in the Immortal Realm has accelerated. Crops with long harvest cycles, such as rice and wheat, are harvested almost every ten days or half a month.
Vegetables with short growth cycles, such as lettuce, can sometimes be harvested twice a day.
Anyway, now there are more than a hundred houses, which are about the size of ten football fields, and almost half of them are occupied.
I never weighed the exact amount of grain.
This question really stumped her.
But the little world spirit knew what was going on: "Qingqing, the Immortal Mansion currently has nearly 50,000 tons of grain and 10,000 tons of various vegetables, fruits, and melons."
Even though Zhu Mingqing had no idea about the weight of grain, he knew it must be something special when he heard the number.
Fifty thousand tons, what does that even mean?
It is enough to provide food and drink for 500,000 people for half a year.
Ninety percent of them appeared after the restoration of the Immortal Palace, and they were also the inventory from that year!
Hearing the words of the little world spirit, Zhu Mingqing's fingers holding the water cup couldn't help but tremble, and he was once again filled with gratitude to God in his heart!
"Madam?" Seeing her silence, Wen Baolu thought she didn't have much food.
He wanted to say that no matter how much he had, he would definitely sell it at a reasonable price and would never let her suffer a loss.
Moreover, now that the flood has broken out, it is a good time to sell grain!
Zhu Mingqing's eyebrows curved, his eyes bright and clear: "Baolu, can I call you that?"
Baolu, Baolu.
With all the treasures and wealth, if he doesn't get rich, who will?!
Being stared at by her fiery gaze, Wen Baolu nodded uncomfortably: "Okay."
"How many orders can you get? That's how much food I can provide!"
Wen Baolu first agreed, then when he heard clearly, he suddenly looked up and said, "Madam, what you mean is..."
Zhu Mingqing nodded with a smile: "That's what you understood."
Wen Baolu looked shocked.
this……
How much food does she have?
And, where did it come from?
Luo Xiao was also confused and asked directly.
Zhu Mingqing had naturally thought of a solution long ago: "I have already contacted your grandfather."
Whenever there is any doubt, just push it directly to the Zhu family.
Anyway, see you again, I don’t know how many years it will be.
"Grandpa?" Luo Xiao exclaimed.
He thought his grandfather had abandoned them.
After all, no one showed up at the Ten-Li Pavilion when we said goodbye.
Wen Baolu didn't know much about the Zhu family, but he knew that given Mrs. Zhu's situation, there was no need for her to lie to him.
"Then, Madam, please wait for my good news."
He turned and was about to leave. Luo Xiao also quickly stood up, pleading in his eyes: "Mother, how about I go with Brother Wen?"
Zhu Mingqing was surprised: "You want to do business?"
Luo Xiao thought of the bright silver and was very tempted: "Is it okay?"
She glanced at Wen Baolu, who was quite calm: "Brother Xiao wants to come with me, but he must follow my instructions."
Luo Xiao didn't care about the little problem between them and immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Seeing that they all agreed, Zhu Mingqing naturally agreed as well.
"However..." She looked at Wen Baolu, "The price should be based on the current market price. No premium can be added."
Wen Baolu's face was full of disbelief.
At this moment, Mrs. Zhu wants to sell grain, isn't she just trying to take the opportunity to make a fortune?
Why don't you let him raise the price?
Could it be that he felt pity for the victims?
Hmm...
Probably not.
No one spends money for nothing.
Never mind, just do your own thing!
…
Halfway up the East Mountain, County Magistrate Wang had been here for almost an hour.
Ever since the flood showed signs of receding, he would come over to check every once in a while.
At the same time, you cannot use stones to make scratches.
"Haha, it really retreated another inch!"
Not far away, Mrs. Wang and Zhu Mingqing stood together.
Seeing her husband following her like a child, the former smiled slightly and turned to look at Zhu Mingqing: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Madam."
Zhu Mingqing shook his head. "Lord Wang cares deeply about the people. He is a rare good official."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang’s smile grew even wider.
Although County Magistrate Wang has not had a successful career in the past few years, it must be said that he has been loved by the people for the past ten years.
Few people would refuse to carry out any decree he issued.
"Madam?" County Magistrate Wang heard the voice and turned to see Madam Zhu. He quickly stood up and walked over: "Why are you here?"
Mrs. Wang stepped forward to wipe his sweat: "Madam Zhu has something to discuss with you."
County Magistrate Wang held her hand and wiped his forehead casually. "Okay, stop wasting time."
Upon hearing this, Madam Wang glared at him. How could this be called wasting time?!
"Hehe." County Magistrate Wang smiled ingratiatingly again.
Looking at the affectionate scene between the two, Zhu Mingqing couldn't help rubbing his arms.
Even though it's corny, the relationship is really good!
Mrs. Wang reached out and pinched the flesh around his waist, signaling him to be careful because someone was watching!
County Magistrate Wang then let go, coughed lightly a few times, and walked forward: "Madam Zhu."
