Chapter 39 Luo Huai's Thanks
The little world spirit shook his head, "I don't know."
Although it is the boundary spirit of the fairy palace, this tree of merit was planted here by the previous owner.
In the past, it was only used for cooling off and providing shade.
It had just learned that the Merit Tree had this use.
Next, Zhu Mingqing checked the changes in the small building.
All the rooms on the first floor are now filled with rice and flour.
"Could this also be left over from the past?"
After receiving the affirmative answer from the little world spirit, Zhu Mingqing couldn't help but admire the legendary immortal.
This amount of food is more than enough to feed the entire city for a year.
She really put mortals in her heart.
After inspecting the situation after the first repair, Zhu Mingqing was very satisfied overall.
She asked, "What are the conditions for the second restoration?"
"Qingqing, maybe we won't know until two days later."
…
After coming out of the space, Zhu Mingqing lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, thinking about the impending flood.
The next morning at breakfast, she stopped Liang He and said, "Captain Liang, the weather has been very unusual recently. I think we should make plans early."
It would be fine if everything was safe and sound this time, but if she really encountered a flood, at least it would appear that she had food.
Otherwise, she would be the only one who got fat and white, which would really be too eye-catching!
Liang He also thought about the recent continuous rainy days. Although he didn't think anything serious would happen, he still went out with a few officials.
Inside the largest rice shop in Zhencheng.
Liang He originally thought that it would take at least four or five days for them to wait for the court's orders in Zhencheng.
Food can be bought anytime these days.
It’s not too late to buy it when you leave later.
But after Zhu Mingqing's reminder, he still bought food for half a month and refused to buy more.
Zhu Mingqing didn't try to persuade them any further. After they had settled their accounts, he said to the boss, "I want all the remaining food. I'll send it all to Xiangfu Inn."
The grain store owner was stunned: ...
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be joking, he immediately realized that this was a big business deal.
"Madam, do you really want all of them? I have tens of thousands of kilograms of food here."
Zhu Mingqing instead looked at Captain Liang and asked gently, "Is it okay?"
Captain Liang didn't expect her to be so generous.
He frowned. "What are you going to do with all this? And what are we going to do when we're on the road in a few days?"
Should all the prisoners be asked to escort the food?
Zhu Mingqing smiled slowly: "I just want more protection. If Captain Liang minds, then..."
Liang He was satisfied and thought she was not going to buy it.
Unexpectedly, she said to the grain store owner: "I want to hire someone to deliver it all the way to Guancheng. Do you have this business?"
“Ahem…”
Liang He choked on his own saliva.
He looked at her in shock, his expression very calm, as if what she had just said was a very common thing.
But ask yourself which prisoner being escorted has ever had such an idea.
If you buy too much food, you can hire people to transport it.
this……
How much silver did the Zhu family give her?
That gave her the confidence to say this.
The grain store owner was delighted. "Yes, of course. Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
He was really smart. Not only did he find a big client for himself, he also found a big business for his brother.
So much food was escorted all the way to the city gate.
After this trip, the entire escort agency won’t have to work for a year.
"Okay, I'll trouble you, boss."
After finishing here, Zhu Mingqing went to the seed shop next door and bought almost all the seeds in the shop.
She wants all kinds of flowers, fruits, vegetables, wheat, peanuts, soybeans, etc., everything she can buy.
After all the seeds were packed, Zhu Mingqing gave some silver to several officials, which was the so-called hard work fee.
Hope they can help transport it back.
None of them hesitated at all, as they didn't expect to make extra money by coming out.
After leaving the seed shop, Liang He pursed his lips and looked at Zhu Mingqing hesitantly.
I wanted to ask her if she wanted to buy anything else, but unexpectedly Zhu Mingqing said directly that we could go back.
Liang He: ...
This is not like Mrs. Zhu's style.
Seeing that she stopped moving after taking two steps, he thought to himself: Is this right?
"Is there anything you haven't bought yet?"
Zhu Mingqing shook his head and looked behind him, but found nothing.
"Do you feel like someone is following us?"
Liang He followed her gaze and saw the streets bustling with people.
"No, you must have seen it wrong."
Although no suspicious people were found, Zhu Mingqing became alert.
After all, there is the example of Lao Xin in front of us, and who knows whether the other party will just take action regardless of the consequences.
…
At the rice shop, the boss happily asked everyone to start packing their things.
When a colleague nearby heard about this, he couldn't help but come over to inquire.
"We are old friends. If you have big business like this in the future, remember to call me brother."
The grain store owner laughed and said, "We're all just trying to make a living."
He thought to himself, how can I introduce such a big customer to you?
"But brother, it's been raining quite hard these past two days. If you just sell all the food, aren't you afraid... that you won't make any money later?"
He touched the banknotes in his sleeve and smiled: "Well, that's all for the future. Besides, if we really have no food, don't we still have you?"
But he didn't know that when the day of food shortage came, he would regret it so much.
…
After returning to the inn, Zhu Mingqing went to the back of the kitchen to get some food. As soon as he opened the door, he found that only Luo Xiao was inside.
When he saw me come in, he immediately stood up straight, looking a little nervous.
She sat in the chair with a calm expression, as usual, pretending that the other person didn't exist.
Luo Xiao held onto the chair, his arms straining uncontrollably, his entire back of his hand exposed with veins. When Zhu Mingqing saw this, he paused in his attempt to pick up the food.
What is this kid trying to do?
"Mother..." Luo Xiao's voice was still a little stuttering. He hadn't called her that for many years, so he felt a little unfamiliar with it.
Zhu Mingqing's eyebrows twitched slightly, but he continued eating without raising his head.
Her voice was cold: "What's the matter?"
Luo Xiao's eyelids tightened, his Adam's apple rolled, and he forced a grateful smile.
When he smiled, his fangs were slightly exposed, and there was a hint of guilt in his eyes, but also a rare unruly look that was rare for a teenager.
Zhu Mingqing just looked up to pour water and was stunned for a moment.
This was the first time she saw the third brother smile. She didn't expect that he had fangs, and when he smiled, he looked like the big Tibetan mastiff she used to raise.
Majestic and vibrant.
"Thank you." He said these two words quickly, and immediately ran away with the wind under his feet.
Zhu Mingqing paused while drinking water:...
So, the child stayed in the room specifically to thank her?
