I thought that after eating so many strawberries, I wouldn't be able to eat lunch.
But when the scrambled eggs with tomatoes were served, they were so tender and fragrant, and the texture of the rice was indescribably delicious. It made people almost swallow their tongues, and everyone couldn't help but eat two more bowls of rice.
Qiao Lian'er thought that scrambled eggs with tomatoes is a classic dish, and this recipe could be sold, so the tomatoes in her space could also be sold.
Yes, we'll arrange it once we get to the county town.
After the meal, everyone planted tomato seedlings in the yard.
There's a small plot of land right next to the south wall that's been set aside specifically for growing things; it's currently used to grow tomatoes.
They also set up supports to ensure that the tomato seedlings wouldn't be crushed by the heavy fruit.
Most of the fruit on the seedlings is now red, but the other half is still green. I'm a little worried that we won't be able to eat them all.
After finishing all that, Boss Qiao said, "Tomorrow I can go to the county town to set up a stall and do business again."
"No, no, we can't go. You shouldn't go either," a villager said, waving his hand as he passed by the door.
"Why can't we go?" Da Yong was thinking about Ling Yin in his heart, and he was a little confused when he heard this.
I wonder what the situation is like in Lingjia Village these days. With such a heavy rain, some people are struck by lightning, some people's houses collapse, and some people drown.
Although he knew nothing would happen, he wouldn't be completely at ease until he saw a living person in person.
"It's impossible to go there. The road to Yongguan County is completely blocked. There are many landslides that have blocked the road completely, and it's impossible for a horse-drawn carriage to pass."
The old man stopped at the door and said.
"There are still some areas at risk of collapse, so be careful even when walking."
"You should wait a while until the government clears the road before you start doing business."
The Qiao family members looked at each other in bewilderment.
They then remembered that in previous years, heavy rainstorms would often cause road blockages, but back then they hadn't set up a food stall in the county town or traveled that far, so they didn't feel the effects of such situations as much.
Now that the roads are blocked, we can't go to the county town, and doing business will be delayed, so everyone feels incredibly frustrated.
“In previous years, when the roads were blocked, it would take about ten days, or even more than half a month, to clear them.” Old Qiao puffed on his pipe.
"Everyone can only stay home and wait patiently."
Qiao Lao Er suddenly remembered something and quickly asked Qiao Lian'er, "Lian'er, when will the building materials be delivered, and when will the construction team arrive?"
"The earliest timeframe was twenty days, and the latest was a month. Now, with the rain, it's already taken half a month. I just hope the road can be dug through in the remaining half month."
Qiao Lian'er was also having a headache. If the deadline was exceeded, she would have to pay the material factory a breach of contract fee, as well as the construction team's lost work fees.
She had only been in this place for a little over a month and had no idea that the road would collapse after the torrential rain.
The Qiao family hadn't anticipated this either, because they mainly used to go to the town, and the road to the town was flanked by solid rocky mountains, so there was no risk of landslides after the heavy rain. Therefore, no one had anticipated the situation on the road to Yongguan County.
Seeing Qiao Lian'er's expression, everyone knew things were going badly and they might have to lose money, which made them all feel annoyed.
But Qiao Lian'er's concern was not just about losing money, but also about what would happen if those people came after the crops could be harvested and the roads were open in half a month.
At that time, the construction of the house had just begun, and the materials had not yet been used up. What if we asked her to return it and exchange it for cash?
"Brother Dayong, Brother Dacheng, Brother Dameng, let's go check the road conditions together."
