Chapter 72 [Misunderstanding]
Since people have asked this, I have to share a piece.
When you're in school, if someone is envious of another classmate's snacks, isn't there a subtext: "What are you eating?"
Jiang Lili took out a piece of compressed biscuit from the backpack, tore it open and handed it to Lin Ye: "Master Lin, would you like to try one?"
Lin Ye was curious to begin with, so he took the biscuit and started eating it without hesitation.
The yamen runners who brought their own dry food couldn't help but look over curiously at the new and strange thing that Lord Lin was eating.
Lin Ye took a bite and it was quite hard. After it was softened, it had a strong wheat aroma and a salty taste.
The more he ate, the more he was amazed. After showing off a piece of compressed biscuit, Lin Ye exclaimed in amazement: "This dry food is amazing. It's only the size of a palm. I felt full very quickly after eating it, and I didn't want to eat a second piece."
Lin Ye asked, "Miss Jiang, where did you get this dry food?"
Jiang Lili certainly couldn't say she was fed this, so she made up an excuse: "This was made by a friend of mine who's a pastry chef. She lives in seclusion in the mountains, unconcerned with worldly affairs, and doesn't sell this kind of dry food to the public, so it's normal that Lord Lin hasn't seen it."
Lin Ye had already thought of it. This kind of dry food with a strong sense of filling is very suitable for distributing to hungry disaster victims.
He quickly asked, "Could you please ask Miss Jiang for a favor? I want to buy a large quantity of this dry food and distribute it to the disaster victims to alleviate their urgent hunger problem."
"Your friend should be very close to you. I wonder if Miss Jiang could ask him for me."
Jiang Lili's mind raced, realizing the government was rushing to send her some money. So she enthusiastically introduced the dried food, saying, "This kind of food is called compressed biscuits, and it can be stored for up to three years."
Lin Ye was even more surprised after hearing this, but then he became distressed: "If it's for disaster relief, your friend will definitely not be able to produce such a large quantity."
Jiang Lili quickly added, "My friend still has plenty of stock in the warehouse, so Lord Lin doesn't have to worry about not being able to make it in time."
"A family once placed a large order for compressed biscuits from my friend, but they cancelled the order, leaving them with nothing."
Lin Ye was very happy: "How about the price? Is such effective dry food expensive?"
"No, no, no, the price is definitely within your acceptable range." Jiang Lili smiled like a little fox: "My Lord, you can send someone to contact Li Sicong in Linzhou. You can buy compressed biscuits through him."
Lin Ye pondered: "Linzhou? We just need to cross the Qinglin Mountains. Can all the goods be delivered safely?"
Jiang Lili said hurriedly, "Don't worry about that. Li Sicong will send someone to deliver it to your door, and it will be very fast because he has an escort agency under his command that delivers very quickly."
"Compressed biscuits can only last for a few days. We still need food like rice. Li Sicong's rice shop is trustworthy!"
"There is such a person in Linzhou. I will definitely contact him!" Lin Ye exclaimed.
The hidden danger of the locust plague was resolved, and everyone went home. Jiang Lili received another receipt for 100 taels of silver.
Jiang Lili found that with the profiteer Li Sicong acting as her guarantor, it was much easier for her to create those modern things.
Otherwise, it would be too eye-catching to produce so many compressed biscuits and rice out of thin air.
And it can also disperse the risk to Li Xiaoguan, which is great.
Jiang Lili told Li Sicong the story with a sly smile. Good classmates should share the joys and sorrows together!
Seeing that there was business to be done, Li Sicong communicated with Jiang Lili about the execution method, and then waited for Lord Lin to send someone to find him.
After returning to Tianshui Village, Master Liao, the energetic kid, went to the fields to teach the Zhang family how to farm, while Jiang Lili went back to the Zhang family to take a nap.
After a short nap, Jiang Lili regained her energy. When she woke up, she saw that the head judge of the Imperial Hospital, who was so busy that he was nowhere to be seen, had sent a message in the group for the first time.
The content of the message is a prescription for preventing and treating epidemics.
[@Student Committee: Cases of epidemic disease have recently appeared in Beijing. Class leader, your prescription is truly life-saving! I'm preparing for the Spring Examination and absolutely cannot afford to give up!]
@Hou Xiaoxiao: Huh? An epidemic broke out in the capital? I was trying to find an excuse to stay in Miaojiang for a while, but the Empress Dowager and the Emperor urged me to return and report.
@Yan Chaoyue: No, I just found a way to save my life, and now there's an epidemic? It's so dangerous and scary.
@Class Monitor: This is just Beijing. Students all over the world don't have to worry.
Jiang Lili breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that being away from the capital was not without its benefits.
In the afternoon, Jiang Lili and Liao Ji asked Zhang Xiaopang to buy some supplies to promote the restoration of soil fertility. They also held a small meeting with Zhang Xin to discuss with him the issue of the unowned wasteland in the south-west.
Zhang Xin is also a smart man. He knows how important this matter is. He signed a profit-sharing agreement with Jiang Lili and is ready to start a big business.
Just as the three of them were nearing the end of their discussion, Jiang Lili received a private message from Master Yan: [Lili, I ran into Xin Che's men who had escaped from the northern border at the border between the grasslands and the northern border!]
Young Master Yan was obviously very nervous and his typing was intermittent.
@Yan Chaoyue: How can I convince them that I have no hostility towards them and am able to help them? The grassland and the Xin family army are sworn enemies, and I'm the boss of the grassland. I'm afraid that if we meet, they'll just chop my head off.
Jiang Lili hurriedly asked: [Isn't Princess Dunlun following you? Don't they still trust Xin Ningyu?]
@Yan Chaoyue: The boss and I got separated in the mountains! I'm alone now, and the Xin family army is looking for me.
Jiang Lili suddenly remembered that Yan Chaoyue was still a person with poor direction...the kind that would fall behind and get lost even if he just followed others.
[@Jiang Lili: Wait, I'm going to find Xin Che!]
Jiang Lili and Liao Ji said a few words, then rushed out of the door to find Xin Che in Lin Yayi's yard.
A mountain range at the border of the North and the steppes.
In the forest, Yan Chaoyue hid behind a big rock. He could hear rustling footsteps in the distance, and his heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his throat.
A few days ago, his confidant Tuoba Song brought him news that the Xin family army had fled from the northern border to the border of the grassland.
Yan Chaoyue was calculating that if he could contact this group of Xin family soldiers, and let them recuperate on the grassland under the leadership of Xin Ningyu, he would also have an additional force to protect himself, which would be the best of both worlds.
So he decisively planned with Princess Dunlun to rescue this group of Xin family soldiers from the northerners.
This was the first time he led people into battle after raising poisonous insects. He thought he would sweep away the people from the northern border and open their eyes with his enhanced poisonous insects and snakes.
As a result, he forgot to bring the most powerful basket of poison when he went out.
This matter is much more serious than forgetting to bring homework to school!
