In a blink of an eye, it’s July.
Preparing for the drought was also a long "project" for the villagers.
Many families have started to live frugally from now on - continuing to save on the basis of how frugal they were before!
In addition, many people go into the mountains to pick wild vegetables and look for mountain products, bring them back, dry them, and store them.
The Cai family and the Liu family were much more relaxed, just one word -
purchase!
That's it!
Buy what you need!
While prices haven't skyrocketed and everything is still at normal prices, they'll stock up as much as they can as long as their homes can hold it!
Cai Junze also told Li Fangming about the drought and asked him to prepare.
Li Fangming was surprised, but when he thought of the heavy snow last year, he believed it.
So, after this, the Prince's Mansion also began to purchase large quantities of grain and stockpile it!
Cai Junze said to Liu Shulin, "Mom, what do you think? If we buy a large amount of food and then take advantage of the drought to sell it at a high price and make a profit, wouldn't that be a good opportunity to make money?"
Liu Shulin shook her head and said, "With our financial conditions, we can't do that. And even if we could, it would still be quite dangerous to do something like that at that time."
After all, it’s because they don’t have enough foundation.
If you don't have a solid foundation and try to make money from a disaster, it's easy to run into problems.
Cai Junze thought about it and agreed.
Unless they have a strong background, doing such things might bring them into trouble.
Of course, he was not stupid enough to regard the Prince's Mansion as his background.
Besides, if there is such a good thing, why doesn’t the Prince’s Mansion do it themselves but let them do it?
Anyway, they can’t afford to make money from this “disaster”…
Time flies.
Before he knew it, Liu Shuting had been married for a month.
Similarly, Niu Li was also imprisoned for a month!
At this time, she had already been released.
Niu Jiashi went to the yamen to pick her up in person.
"Mom, how are you? Are you okay?"
Seeing his mother looking haggard, Niu Jiashi was a little worried.
"What's good about it?" Niu Li was both aggrieved and angry, cursing. "Not only is the food here terrible, but we only get one meal a day, and the portions aren't big enough... Plus, they make us work like slaves. I'm so pissed off!"
Fortunately, I was only locked up for a month!
She felt that she would not be able to bear it if she was locked up for a few months.
After returning from the county town, Niu Li cursed all the way.
After returning home, she sat down and drank some water. She asked, "Where's Lu Qingyan? Hasn't she come back yet?"
Niu Jiashi said with a bitter face, "Mom, I checked. She's not at the Lu family, nor at the Cai family. She must have run away... As for where she went, I don't know..."
"What? Ran away?!" As soon as he came back, he heard this news. Niu Li, who was drinking water just now, almost choked to death!
Niu Jiashi quickly patted her back for a long time before she was fine.
Niu Li calmed down, took a deep breath, and gritted her teeth: "This bitch, how dare she run away! If I ever run into her, I'll catch her and throw her into the pig cage!"
Afterwards, Niu Li went to check on her own fields and found that they were all overgrown with weeds. She couldn't help but scold her son: "Jiashi, what's wrong with you? I've been away from home for a month, and you haven't taken care of the fields? The weeds have grown so much!"
Niu Jiashi: “…”
Not only did he not take care of his farmland, he also didn't take care of his home.
The house has been a mess for the month my mother has been away.
This made Niu Li not know what to say. This son is too lazy.
After finally getting out of jail, she was furious as soon as she got home...
My daughter-in-law ran away, and there's no one to take care of the housework or the fields. It's just too bad...
Liu Shulin also heard about Niu Li's return.
However, she did not take this matter seriously.
This day.
She went to the shop in the county town.
Holding an abacus, he was doing the accounting at the desk.
At this moment, a figure appeared in front of her, followed by a voice: "Madam, I guess you are the owner of this bun shop?"
Liu Shulin looked up and saw a middle-aged man in his thirties, dressed in fine clothes, with a handsome appearance. It was obvious that he came from a wealthy family.
"Yes, it's me. What can I do for you, sir?" Liu Shulin looked at the other person.
The man smiled kindly and said, "The buns in your shop are very well made and taste great. They are the best buns I have ever eaten. No wonder there are so many customers."
Liu Shulin didn't know what he wanted to express, so she didn't rush to speak and waited for him to finish.
The man continued, "I saw on the signboard of your shop: Yuanshan Baozi Shop, Jingliu County Branch. Does that mean you have other shops?"
Liu Shulin nodded and said, "Yes, in addition to this store, we also have a main store, but it's in town."
The man was surprised: "The main store is in town?"
Then, the branch is in the county town?
This surprised him!
Seeing his surprised expression, Liu Shulin smiled and said, "Because that store was the first one I ran, and I ran it for many years. So, after opening this store in the county town, out of affection, I named it the main store. Actually, this store in the county town has only been open for a few months."
Hearing this, the man suddenly realized and said, "So that's how it is!"
Then he said, "Since Madam has opened two stores, are you interested in opening a branch somewhere else?"
