Chapter 82 The Restoration of the Ancestral Hall is Completed
A living ancestral hall is a temple built for living people to express gratitude to the worshippers and to pray for them.
It can only be built by someone with great merit.
She initially made a deal with Jiang Qian'an just to get rid of her debts.
To make money.
I never thought about doing good deeds and helping others.
"Actually, every time you bought something from me, you paid for it. It was a mutually agreeable transaction, and I really feel unworthy of it..."
"Heavy snow fell on the border for several months, leaving the people with no means of livelihood. On the day of the ancestral temple renovation, they were filled with joy and hope."
Jiang Qi'an interrupted her, speaking sincerely, "Miss Chen, to you, we may just be customers buying things. But to the border, you are our god. Without you, the entire border would be covered in snow, and even the Jiang Kingdom would be destroyed."
Chen Jinyue's heart trembled violently, "..."
So, if it wasn't a parallel universe, would the Kingdom of Jiang have perished so quietly?
Because of natural disasters?
Now that she has changed history, will it have any impact on future generations?
In the end, she gave her name and birth date to Jiang Qian'an.
Then I inexplicably developed a sense of responsibility towards the border and became more concerned about it than before.
Chen Jinyue was not in a hurry to send the clothes away, and took the initiative to ask him about his next arrangements.
Jiang Qian'an was about to tell her this.
So he took the opportunity to say, "The land is completely covered with snow, and it's difficult to grow crops. We still have to buy food from you, at least to get through this winter."
Chen Jinyue nodded. "No problem. We're not fighting anymore. Do you still want some compressed biscuits?"
"Yes." Jiang Qian'an said politely, "This kind of easy-to-carry dry food is absolutely attractive to military generals."
Chen Jinyue understood.
He was planning to recruit soldiers and win over the people.
"Then let's continue production according to the previous quantity. You can come and pick it up every two or three days."
"The houses in the city need to be repaired. Other materials are easy to find, but the wood has been almost burned up for heating because of the cold weather. I would like to ask the young lady to purchase a large amount of wood." Jiang Qian'an remembered something important.
Chen Jinyue was not too surprised by his request. After all, he had discussed it with Zhou Yichuan before and guessed that he would stay at the border.
But she still asked to confirm, "Are you planning to stay at the border?"
Jiang Qian pursed his lips and nodded, "Yes."
He thought Chen Jinyue would ask more questions about his plans to stay.
Unexpectedly, the other party changed the subject and started talking about business again.
"Wood is fine. By the way, can I prepare some cold-resistant seeds for you? You have nothing to do anyway, why not try growing some vegetables and trees?" We must eventually recover and develop.
Jiang Qian'an curled his lips and smiled, he was overthinking it.
Miss Chen is a clear-headed and principled person. She treats business as business and will not interfere too much with his decisions.
But now she was unconsciously thinking about the restoration of the border, which warmed her heart a lot...
He nodded in agreement, "The girl is really thoughtful!"
"Besides food, wood and compressed biscuits, is there anything else?" Chen Jinyue asked.
"The soldiers liked the small bottles of liquor and beer you gave us for the celebratory banquet very much. I want to buy another batch and I want the same amount you gave me." Jiang Qian'an replied.
Chen Jinyue, "Okay."
Jiang Qian'an, "I'd like to get an extra batch of glutinous rice in the next batch of food."
Chen Jinyue, "No problem."
After discussing the customer's needs, Chen Jinyue prepared to deliver the goods to him.
Jiang Qian'an walked to the door and suddenly stopped. "By the way, General Xiao wants to buy a box of that national wine you gave him. He can't drink it because he's taking medicine, but his private stash has been divided up by his lieutenants."
In fact, he still had two bottles left, but he didn't want to give them to them. These were given to him by Miss Chen.
Sharing four bottles for the celebration party was enough.
General Xiao was dissatisfied with everyone around him. He had a gloomy face all day, as if others owed him thousands of taels of silver.
Knowing that he was coming to the store, he specially gave him a pair of gold arm rings and asked him to help buy a box.
He pulled out a cloth bag and took out the pair of arm rings...
Chen Jinyue was a little amused, "Okay."
After receiving the item, she looked a little surprised, "Gold jewelry?"
"Yes."
Jiang Qi'an looked at her reaction, pursed his lips, and asked again, "Regarding the items for exchange, Miss, are you still not accepting gold or silver? Is there anything that Miss likes?"
All the jewelry and porcelain ornaments had been given away, and he also wanted to give some new things to make Miss Chen happy.
But he really couldn't think of it, so he just asked directly.
"Give me some gold and silver," hard currency is always valuable, "and take the rest as you see fit."
Opening a blind box is always a surprise.
Besides, she hasn't been to the capital yet. There are no good goods circulating in the market now, so the value will not depreciate too much.
"Ah!" Chen Jinyue suddenly thought, "Next time, give me a batch of wooden furniture. The more quantity and variety, the better!"
She had never received this kind before.
Not only can it be exchanged for money, but it can also be used to decorate her empty courtyard.
Jiang Qi'an was delighted, "I'll go back and prepare immediately!"
…
After seeing him off, Chen Jinyue wrote down his needs one by one.
There is no need to purchase compressed biscuits specifically, the factory just needs to continue producing them, and there is no need to worry about food. The old channels are quite comfortable.
However, when Chen Jinyue thought about the special addition of glutinous rice to the grain classification, he realized it belatedly.
Are they going to use glutinous rice to build the city wall?
The glutinous rice lime slurry invented during the Northern and Southern Dynasties adds glutinous rice soup to lime to increase the strength and viscosity of the material, achieving the effect of modern concrete.
She thought for a moment and decided that next time she could ask him if he wanted to consider reinforced concrete.
As an alternative, Chen Jinyue still added glutinous rice to his order.
It’s a good idea to buy more food anyway.
She called the owner of the rice company. This time, as soon as she asked for rice, the other party asked, "Do you want another 1,000 tons?"
Chen Jinyue, "Um...Boss, do you remember me?"
She ordered rice twice, but never met the boss.
She thought the boss was just taking a Buddhist approach to business.
"Of course I remember! You ordered 800 tons the first time, and 1,000 tons the second time! Among the self-employed businesses in the county, you're the most demanding customer!"
“…”
Chen Jinyue didn't know what to say for a moment.
The boss continued in a familiar voice, "I wanted to come over in person to visit you, but as luck would have it, I'm not in the county town today! I'll definitely drink a few glasses of wine at the dinner table tomorrow!"
Chen Jinyue laughed dryly twice, then changed the subject and asked if there was any glutinous rice.
"Of course! How much do you want? One thousand tons too?"
"One thousand tons, then."
Chen Jinyue had no idea, so he just bought this much.
Buy more if there is less, and eat more if there is more.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Jinyue called Uncle He again and asked for three thousand boxes of liquor and ten thousand boxes of beer.
And a batch of oil and salt.
It felt strange to only need one or two boxes of Moutai, and it seemed like they would continue to give it away, so Chen Jinyue didn't say anything and decided to let Manager Zhang go out and buy it individually.
When Uncle He received the call, he was so happy that his mouth corners raised to his ears, and he thought to himself that the box of Moutai was the right one to send.
"Okay! How about I deliver it to the warehouse for you before 4pm tomorrow?"
"right."
