In the next two days, Tian An and Zhao Yiming went out shopping twice a day, and each time they came back with a carriage full of things.
Grain, vegetables, seeds, cloth, study supplies, etc., many of which were originally stored in the warehouse in the village. Before the flash flood came, Tian An found an opportunity to store them in the space.
When the two of them went shopping every day, in addition to pretending to know the prices, they would also buy some more or less and mix them with the previous ones to avoid arousing suspicion from their family.
Chunxi's eyes were sharp, and she had already spotted the situation when she had brought back a cart of fabric. Fortunately, Tian An was clever enough to get away with it.
In three days, things were almost back on track at home, the braised meat stall was almost ready, and Zhao Yiming was also about to go to school.
Early in the morning, everyone got ready and set off together.
When they arrived at the academy, Tian An accompanied Zhao Yiming to the door, watched him go in, and then turned and walked towards the stall.
Liu Hui, Chen Feng, Mang Zhong, and Dong Ru were setting up their stall. After setting up the stall, Mang Zhong cut a small piece of pork head, mixed it, and gave it to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng took the bowl, walked to the front of the stall and started shouting, "Brothers and sisters passing by, young masters, come and have a look! Fresh and delicious braised meat! Free to try, buy if you like it..."
There were already many people at the entrance of the college, and they were instantly attracted by this novel hawking term. Soon someone came forward to ask, "Can you really taste this braised meat before you buy it?"
Seeing someone asking, Chen Feng took the bamboo skewer he had prepared in advance and poked a piece of braised meat and handed it to him, "Try it first, I guarantee it's delicious."
The man didn't hesitate and ate the braised meat immediately. He finished a piece of braised meat in a short while. He stared at the bowl in Chen Feng's hand, but he didn't dare to ask for another piece. He could only ask how much the meat was.
The price was negotiated in advance. It was more expensive than in Jinning County, but definitely not expensive considering the consumption level in Beijing.
Sure enough, the man said he wanted half a catty without blinking an eye. After thinking for a while, he changed his mind and said, "Forget it, cut a catty!"
Mangzhong and Dongru immediately got busy. After the braised meat was ready, Liu Hui took it and handed it to the customer personally, calculated the bill and collected the money. The first business deal was done.
Seeing that they were skilled in their work and that they cooperated well with each other, Tian An gave them some instructions and took Deng Xue to other places to look for business opportunities and people.
Hey! In such a big city like Beijing, I don’t know where Qin Yalan’s family and Peng Zhang’s family are. I can only go out more often to see if I can meet them by chance.
Tian An was looking for Qin Yalan all over the street, but at this time Qin Yalan was in a two-story house a few streets away from them, looking worried about Tian An with a sad face.
Seeing Master Qin coming in, he hurried to greet him, "Dad, how is it? Have you found out? How is the situation in Jinning County?"
Mr. Qin has been out these days asking his daughter about the disaster in Jinning County, and today he just got some clues.
Knowing that his daughter was anxious, he didn't care about the long journey. He was so thirsty that he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water before he hurried to tell his daughter the news he had found out.
"Refugees from there said that Jinning County was first hit by an earthquake, and then some areas were hit by flash floods. Then there were reports of banditry. Even the newly appointed county magistrate lost his life. The situation is very dire."
Hearing this, Qin Yalan slumped down on the stool with a pale face. "There's an earthquake, a flash flood, and banditry. How can An An escape? She's also carrying her two younger brothers! I don't even know if Master Zhao is with her."
Master Qin also had a worried look on his face. If Tian An had not had the foresight to send his daughter a knockout drug when they came to the capital this time, they didn't know whether they could arrive safely.
Shaoyao, who was standing by, saw her young lady and master getting anxious and angry, and could only persuade them: "Young lady and master, don't worry. Miss An An has always been smart and lucky. Maybe she has already overcome all difficulties and brought her brothers to the capital by now?"
It was originally a comforting word, but Qin Yalan actually listened to it and suddenly turned to look at Master Qin, "Dad, if An An really came to the capital, where would they be now?"
hiss……
Master Qin took a breath and said, "Do you think that girl can escape so many disasters?"
Qin Yalan frowned and analyzed, "An An's family grows a lot of food, so there will be no problem with food. And she should have made a lot of money from her business. As long as she escapes the earthquake and flood, coming to the capital will not be a problem."
"What about the bandit problem?" Mr. Qin felt that his daughter was too naive.
Qin Yalan felt that for Tian An, the harm caused by banditry was far less than that caused by earthquakes and floods.
"An An has several skilled servants around him, and with Young Master Zhao, protecting himself is not a problem."
"What if Young Master Zhao is not with them? He is coming to the capital to study, and he might already be halfway there." Master Qin asked.
Qin Yalan thought about it, shook her head and said, "Young Master Zhao has always been good to An An. Even if he has already set off, he will definitely turn back if An An suffers."
Mr. Qin nodded, thinking that what his daughter said made some sense, and immediately began to calculate the time with his head down.
After a while, he raised his head and said, "If they really managed to escape the earthquake and flash floods and come to the capital, then the date should be almost here in the next few days."
Qin Yalan instantly perked up, "Then let's go find them! They just arrived in Beijing and are unfamiliar with the place. They must be having a hard time." As she said that, she was about to walk out.
Seeing this, Master Qin hurriedly stopped him and said, "Hey, where are you going to find someone in such a big city like the capital? You're already a grown-up, why are you always so impatient?"
"People are so anxious! So how are we supposed to find it?"
Master Qin thought for a moment and said, "Refugees are not allowed to enter the city. We just need to guard the city gate."
Qin Yalan was reliable for once: "Young Master Zhao has a travel permit, and he is also a scholar, so entering the city is not a problem."
"Then let's go to the entrance of the academy and take a look. Isn't Mr. Zhao going to study at Songshan Academy? In any case, they will definitely go to the academy once." Master Qin said.
Qin Yalan's eyes lit up, "Then Dad will send someone to guard the city gate, and I will take Shaoyao to the college gate."
Having said that, she rushed out the door without waiting for her father to say anything. She kept praying in her heart, "An An! You have to do better!"
Here, after walking around a few streets, Tian An and Deng Xue found a roadside stall, ordered two bowls of wontons and were eating happily!
After eating, I walked around for a while. Seeing that it was almost time, I prepared to go back to the college gate to see how Chen Feng and the others were doing.
When they arrived at the college gate, their stall had already been removed, and only Chen Feng was waiting there for them.
"Where is the stall?" Tian An asked, looking at the empty stall.
"Girl, it was the first day we set up the stall. We were afraid we wouldn't be able to sell all the food, so we didn't dare to do more. But the business was so good that we sold out in no time. They all went back to prepare ingredients for tomorrow, leaving me here waiting for you." Chen Feng explained.
Business is so good? Tian Anle is happy.
"Let's go, let's go back first."
Tian An had just returned home with his men. Qin Yalan, Shaoyao, and a servant arrived at the academy gate, and the two missed each other.
