Chapter 93 Chapter 93 Help
There is actually a reason why Qi Xiu Ze and the other three can be so close to Xu Yunfan.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Qin Run's appearance is ugly, but Qi Xiu Ze and others do not agree. Instead, they think Qin Run is particularly pleasing to the eye.
The more Xie Baizhou and the others looked at Qin Run, the more they felt that Qin Run looked familiar.
If you look closely, Qin Run's face is quite handsome, and he looks a bit like the big man who is feared by everyone in the capital. But if you look more closely, Qin Run's heroic eyebrows and eyes vaguely resemble the nobleman who is known as the most famous person in the Great Yan Dynasty.
Qin Run's appearance can be said to be a combination of the strengths of those two people. How ugly can Qin Run be if he is so good at picking out the strengths of others?
The reason why other people think Qin Run is ugly is that Qin Run's height and body shape are taller and stronger than other guys, so that with such a body shape, they automatically ignore Qin Run's appearance. In addition, due to psychological effects, once they have the idea that Qin Run is "ugly", even if Qin Run looks like a fairy, they will not be able to see it.
Qi Xiu Ze and the others silently sighed at Qin Run's appearance, not thinking much about it, just thinking that they were seeing things and overthinking.
There are millions of people in the world, but they are somewhat similar. It's not surprising, it's normal.
Xu Yunfan wasn't there, so Qi Xiu Ze and the other three were the first to run into the cafeteria. As they listened to Qin Run's instructions, Xie Baizhou rubbed his hands together and kept glancing at the bucket of ice, seemingly unable to contain himself. "Run, what's in that bucket?"
What we ate yesterday included iced mung bean porridge and chilled huanghuali. What will we eat today?
It's really curious.
When Qin Run saw Qi Xiu Ze and his three companions for the first time, he immediately thought that they were elegant and noble gentlemen. However, after getting to know them better, he realized what appearance meant. These four people were actually just a few greedy young men.
"There are popsicles inside." Because there was ice blocking the view, Qin Run deliberately turned over the ice to reveal the popsicles underneath.
He took out four sticks and, imitating Xu Yunfan's "generous" manner, handed one to each of Qi Xiu Ze for them to try.
"Popsicle? What is this?"
Shen Ruxi took a bite, and wow, the sweet taste instantly spread in her mouth, and the cool feeling spreading from her mouth made her couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh.
I have to say, on such a scorching hot day, taking a sip of this will make you feel refreshed and extremely comfortable and relaxed.
Shen Ruxi and the other three were enjoying the food, taking one bite after another, and soon they had finished the popsicle.
Seeing this, the other students who were still queuing couldn't help but swallow a few times.
No matter what Qi Xiu Ze and the others were eating, as long as it was in the ice bucket and was icy cold, it was a rare delicacy for them in this hot summer.
"Brother Zhao, stand in line for me here. I'll go over and take a look. I saw Brother Qi from Class A1 enjoying the food so much, I think it must be good. I'll go over and buy two to try."
"Okay, hurry up, we're almost there."
"Okay," the student said to Zhao Xueyuan, then said to the student behind him, "Brother, I'm going to go buy some things first and will be back soon."
So, don’t even think about cutting in line. It says on the sign that you have to queue politely.
"Brother Qi, what is this?"
"Popsicle."
"Is it tasty?"
Qi Xiu Ze: "...What nonsense are you asking? My brother made this, how could it not be delicious?"
It doesn’t taste good. Look at how horrible the food Xie Baizhou and the others eat.
One person bought a popsicle and started eating it on the spot. Before he finished one, he couldn't wait to buy another one. Seeing this, the other students couldn't wait any longer.
There is only one bucket like this. They are queuing up to buy food. By the time they have bought the food, will it be their turn to get the popsicles?
The other students who had already bought their meals hurriedly stuffed a piece of meat into their mouths, took out a copper coin from their purse, glanced at it, and then went to line up at the dessert area.
Today really tested their patience. They had to queue up to eat and to buy dessert.
You have to queue up. We are all students. Other students are queuing up, so why shouldn’t you?
A student who bought some popsicles the other day said while eating them, "I want two pounds of the yellow puppy candy, and three pounds of the pink cat candy..."
The candies are small, so if customers buy a lot, it is naturally impossible to count them one by one.
The candies Qin Run cut were of uniform size. Xu Yunfan tried it and figured out how many pieces would make up a pound, so he set a suitable price for a pound.
The supply of candies in Qingfeng Canteen is limited. Xu Yunfan has explained to Qi Xiu Ze and others that every student can buy these candies and other food, but there are purchase limits.
Xu Yunfan wasn't trying to engage in some kind of hunger marketing campaign at the academy. He was asking, "How many students at Qingfeng Academy are short of money? As long as they want it, a few dozen kilograms of candy is nothing."
A few students paid for all the food. If that’s the case, what will the other students buy and eat?
What is worrying is not the lack of food but the uneven distribution of food. Everyone in the college is a well-known and prestigious person. Why should you take it all by yourself? Do the people queuing behind you still need to eat?
If a few people with bad tempers came and started a quarrel, Xu Yunfan would probably be called in for tea by the dean.
Qi Xiu Ze: "No, my brother said that you can buy every candy and food on this counter, but you can't buy in bulk. If those of you in the queue buy too much, the others behind you won't be able to buy anything."
"Yeah." Shen Ruxi and the other two who were in charge of packing nodded. They knew how popular these foods were. "Right, there are only a few kinds of food and candy. You can buy up to one kilogram of each. For other foods, such as peanut sesame candy, you can buy up to half a kilogram. No more."
The students queuing behind heaved a sigh of relief when they heard these words.
That's right. If the first few people buy too much, they probably won't be able to buy even a small amount by the time it's their turn.
When the students in the queue at the front heard this, they thought, "That doesn't mean he can be arrogant just because he's in the front. What if he's a step slower one day and can't get to the front?"
"Then give me six dollars for each of the others."
"Okay, wait a moment."
Qin Run was so busy today that he forgot to take out the basket of bread he had left in the kitchen. He waved to Qi Xiu Ze to help keep an eye on him while he was collecting the money, and then he hurried to the kitchen to take out the basket of bread and sell it.
According to Xu Yunfan's instructions, no matter what kind of food it was, before putting it on the shelves, Qin Run would ask Qin Qi and others to pack up the portion for Qi Xiu Ze and the other three first.
Xu Yunfan felt bad that he helped them on an empty stomach without showing any appreciation.
Not to mention, Xu Yunfan just walked away as the shopkeeper, handed the design drawings to Qi Xiu Ze and others, and went back leisurely.
Xu Yunfan didn't spend a penny to decorate the cafeteria and buy dining tables and other kitchen supplies. He spent all the monthly allowances that Qi Xiu Ze and his colleagues had saved with great difficulty.
To arrange so many tables and chairs all at once, without using some connections, which carpentry shop in town would have so much stock?
Previously, Xu Yunfan and Qin Run planned to temporarily build a large shed outside so that the students could have a place to sit and eat. Xu Yunfan and Qin Run could find someone to build the shed themselves, but it would definitely not be possible to rely entirely on Qin Mu for the long table and benches.
Yesterday, when Xu Yunfan and Qin Run went out to purchase, they specifically asked the carpenter shop. Xu Yunfan wanted to customize 100 long tables and benches. This order was large, so he could naturally make a lot of money. Several carpenter shops wanted to take the order, but unfortunately, they were unable to do so.
Why?
These carpentry shops have only a few people, at most only about ten or twenty. They can work on a hundred long tables. They can do it with two wooden boards and four table legs, but the problem is that there are also benches. Even if they work non-stop, they cannot finish them in one day.
Xu Yunfan had no choice but to place some orders with this carpentry shop. He also placed some orders with that carpentry shop, but the shop owners said that if he placed an order with them, he had to pay a deposit.
My goodness, not only did he have to pay several taels of deposit at once, but he also had to pay a large sum of money when the final payment came.
From this, we can see that Qi Xiu Ze and his team had to pay a lot of money to complete the task assigned by Xu Yunfan. Not to mention how much money they spent, the fact that they rarely had a rest and went to countless carpentry shops before getting the job done was enough to show how much they cared about Xu Yunfan's affairs.
How could Xu Yunfan and Qin Run forget this love?
Of course, it's a matter of love. Xu Yunfan would not refuse to pay back the money that Qi Xiu Ze and his friends paid in advance for renovating the cafeteria.
Thinking of this, when Qin Run left food for Qi Xiu Ze and the others, he knew that they loved meat just like Xu Yunfan, so he left more meat for them than rice.
I won’t tell you how well the bread sold once it was put on the shelves. Anyway, all the food put on the shelves today was sold without a single crumb left. Even though the quantity was limited, it was still not enough to sell.
The students who didn't buy anything at the back called out to Yaya, "Why are they out of stock again? What kind of food is that? I've never seen it before, but it looks delicious. Who bought some? Can we share some?"
"What's going on? Why does the food in the cafeteria always sell out so quickly? It's okay if we can't have food, but why are there never enough of these?"
The other students all agreed with what this student said.
Yes, if the food in the cafeteria is gone, they can still go out to eat and make do with it, but if the food in the dessert area is gone, can they buy it outside?
No, you can't!
Previously, Qi Xiu Ze and his four classmates from Class A1 brought some candy to the academy. The other students had asked where they could buy it, but Qi Xiu Ze and his friends responded, "Where can you buy it outside? We made these, and they're exclusive. If there's any store selling them outside, I'd even give you my head to sit on."
Qi Xiu Ze said this so seriously, how could it be false?
These candies are exquisitely made, and the other delicacies are also delicious. They can be given as gifts to others.
Sometimes, the gift is not expensive or not, it just needs to be new.
But now, let alone buying it and giving it as gifts, they can’t even eat it, so what’s the point of giving it as gifts.
Xie Baizhou stretched out his hands and pressed down, signaling everyone to be quiet. "Classmates, listen to me. How about these candies? Those of you who have eaten them and seen them know it all. As for why they are so expensive, there's no need for me to explain. You say there aren't enough to sell, but have you ever thought about how much trouble it takes to make these candies and other treats? Don't my brothers want to make money?"
There is no need to say more about the rest. Xie Baizhou only needs to say this, and those who understand will understand.
Aunt Qin and others behind the window wiped their sweat. Xu Yunfan really knows how to do business.
I thought he just cooked and sold dishes, but he actually brought other food to the academy to sell. What's wrong with him?
There are hundreds of students in Qingfeng Academy. Not all of them will buy it, but as long as dozens of them do, he will make money, which is better than them making a living by digging in the fields.
Today, in addition to the meal money, the money earned from selling candies and other food is probably not small, probably several dozen taels.
Wow, it’s a good thing they had already seen it yesterday, otherwise they would have been dizzy now.
While washing dishes, Aunt Qin and others were still thinking that there was not enough food to sell at lunch, and it seemed that they would be busy again in the afternoon.
But being busy is good! Only when you are busy can you earn more money.
…
After having a meal at Uncle Qin's house, Xu Yunfan was not idle either. He prepared some food and it was already four o'clock.
Xu Yunfan is different from Qin Run and the others. He has no watch or mobile phone, so he can hardly figure out the exact time and can only estimate it roughly.
Now everyone knows that he is from overseas. Although in the Dayan Dynasty, there may not be people from overseas for more than ten years, when Xu Yunfan first arrived in Dali Village, his dress was different from that of other villagers. Even if he said that he was not from overseas, no one believed him.
Xu Yunfan simply put on the watch in the suitcase.
If a watch worth tens of millions is not waterproof or shockproof, is it worth the price?
Naturally, Xu Yunfan was not afraid that it would break.
Qin Dayou will finish building the greenhouse for the canteen today, and will be able to return to the village tomorrow and start producing sweet potato flour the day after tomorrow.
Sweet potato noodles and chicken mushroom oil alone are not enough. Many people eat noodles and rice noodles. Meat and eggs can be omitted, but chili sauce is absolutely indispensable.
People in the prefecture capital of Qingling County and even in several surrounding prefecture capitals do not like spicy food due to customs and regional factors, but that does not mean they cannot eat spicy food at all.
They do eat chili peppers, but not as much as in other prefectures where they can eat chili peppers as a dish. Here they use chili peppers as a seasoning at most.
The people on Qin's side grow some chili peppers in the vegetable garden, and they only add some when they want something spicy.
But the Fang Hunter family is different.
People in colder areas in the north can eat spicy food, but due to factors such as soil and temperature, it is not suitable for growing peppers. Therefore, people in the northern capitals basically buy peppers from other places.
Hunter Fang used to hunt game and sell it to restaurants in town. Over time, he got to know some people there and learned that a large amount of chili peppers were needed in the north. When he got home and told them about it, Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang, who had nothing else to do, planted chili peppers on the two acres of land they had reclaimed at the foot of the mountain.
The two old men were diligent and eradicated the weeds in the field before they even started to grow. Without other weeds competing for nutrients, the hunter Fang's peppers naturally had a bumper harvest.
But the bad thing was that just when Fang the Hunter and his family thought they could make some money by selling peppers, Fang the Hunter went to the town to inquire again, and his heart sank.
Fang the Hunter and his men were not the only ones who knew that the north needed a large amount of chili peppers.
Although the north is too cold and the soil is not suitable for growing peppers, will the people in the surrounding cities where peppers are suitable for growing peppers miss this opportunity to make a fortune after hearing about this?
Even if merchants in the northern capital wanted to purchase peppers, why didn't they buy them from nearby instead of traveling all the way to Qingling County?
Not to mention the Hunter Fang family, even the other villagers who planted peppers in large quantities without thinking after hearing about this regretted their decision.
With so many peppers, how many can be sold even if they are sold individually?
This year, the supply of peppers exceeds the demand. When the supply exceeds the demand, the price usually falls because the competition among sellers requires them to lower the price to attract buyers. Even if all the peppers of Fang Liehu were sold at a low price, I am afraid he would not make any money.
Therefore, when Xu Yunfan asked Qin Run about the chili peppers, the first thing Qin Run thought of was naturally the Fang Hunter family.
Since Fang the hunter has so many peppers, why doesn't Xu Yunfan buy them from him? Why does he have to go somewhere else to buy them?
On the way to Hunter Fang's house, Xu Yunfan happened to meet Brother Fang who was delivering water to Qin Dashu.
"Where did Second Brother Fang go?" Xu Yunfan had met Fang Ge'er on the day of the wedding, so naturally he knew him. It would be inappropriate for the two of them to meet on a narrow road without saying hello.
Seeing that it was Xu Yunfan, Fang Ge'er stepped forward and said enthusiastically, "I'm bringing some water to Dashu. Brother Dayou came back this afternoon and said they'll need a lot of thatch tomorrow, and the current stock might not be enough for tomorrow's use. He asked Dashu and Daqian to cut some for later use. The cousins were so busy that they even forgot to bring water, so I'm bringing some to them. Where are you going?"
It's been a slack season for farmers recently, but even if it were busy, according to custom, the new bride and husband don't have to work in the fields until they return home. Fang Ge'er is diligent, and Dashu is his husband. When he learned that Qin Dashu didn't bring any water when he went up the mountain, he couldn't sit still. Even though it was a hot day, Fang Ge'er still filled some water and brought it to Qin Dashu under the scorching sun. He was now sweating profusely.
Xu Yunfan thought to himself that Qin Dashu was usually taciturn, but he was lucky to marry such a good man like Fang Ge'er. However, no matter how good the other person was, for Xu Yunfan, his own Qin Run was still the best. "I want to go to Grandpa Fang's house..."
Before he could finish his words, Xu Yunfan suddenly fell silent and even signaled Fang Ge'er to be quiet.
Fang Ge'er was confused and didn't know what Xu Yunfan was going to do. He was just about to ask Xu Yunfan quietly what was wrong when Xu Yunfan next to him suddenly raised his leg and rushed out like a leopard.
Xu Yunfan heard someone shouting for help.
Who is shouting for help in broad daylight?
When Xu Yunfan was a teenager, his grandfather sent him to the army for training for half a year. The six-month training gave him extraordinary hearing, and even the slightest movement could not be hidden from his ears.
Someone was shouting for help, but Xu Yunfan didn't care too much and ran over quickly like a cheetah aiming at its prey and attacking with lightning speed.
Fang Ge'er: "..."
Why did Xu Yunfan suddenly run away?
Not knowing what was going on, Fang Ge'er subconsciously followed and ran.
But Xu Yunfan ran too fast. In just a few blinks of an eye, Fang Ge'er could no longer see Xu Yunfan.
He was already halfway through the run, so how could he just go back? Fang Ge'er simply continued running along the path.
Just after he ran a few hundred meters away, Fang saw Xu Yunfan running towards him carrying an uncle on his back.
Older boys, whether married or not, are generally called uncles or uncles in the Dayan Dynasty, while men are called uncles or uncles.
"What's wrong?" Fang Ge'er asked breathlessly.
Compared to Fang Ge'er's panting, Xu Yunfan, who had run back and forth, breathed smoothly. "This uncle was bitten by a snake."
"What snake?"
"I don't know. When I got there, there was no trace of the snake. I don't know where it ran away." Xu Yunfan didn't dare to stop and said as he walked.
"It's over the mountain." At this time, the uncle carried on Xu Yunfan's back said weakly: "I'm going to die."
Xu Yunfan was a little confused. "Crossing a mountain? What the hell is that?"
And this uncle is the same. The doctor hasn’t even seen the patient yet, and no one has tried to save him, but he’s already saying he’s going to die. How can he be so pessimistic?
Just now, he saw the two tooth holes on the uncle's arm and guessed that he was bitten by a snake. In addition, the other party looked weak and lifeless, so Xu Yunfan did not dare to delay any longer and took measures immediately. He thought that this man would not die so quickly.
Fang Ge'er heard from Qin Dashu that Xu Yunfan was from overseas, and from what he said and even what he showed, he was indeed a rich young man.
In this case, it is understandable that Xu Yunfan did not recognize the mountain.
"Guoshanfeng is a venomous snake," Fang Ge'er trotted beside Xu Yunfan, "Its neck is flat and big, and looks like a spoon. This kind of snake..."
Out of consideration for the uncle who was bitten, Fang Ge'er swallowed the words he was about to say.
He wanted to say that this kind of poisonous snake is very powerful and whoever it bites will die.
Based on Fang Ge'er's description, Xu Yunfan immediately understood, "Isn't that a king cobra? No, I've been in the village for so long, and I've never heard of anyone being bitten by a snake. How did this uncle get bitten?"
As they were about to reach the village, Xu Yunfan asked again, "The venom of the king cobra is no joke. Whose family does he belong to? Let them call Sun Wu over and take him to the town clinic in an ox cart."
Fang Ge'er had only been married to Dali Village for two days and had hardly left the house. She wasn't as familiar with the villagers as Xu Yunfan was. Didn't Xu Yunfan ask the wrong person? "I don't know. I'll go ask someone right away."
At this time, the uncle on Xu Yunfan's back spoke, "I am Sun Wu's little dad."
"Ah, why didn't you say so earlier?" Xu Yunfan changed direction and ran towards Sun Wu's house at a faster pace.
