Chapter 69 Shen Qing is specifically promoting our Zhao family
Jiang Yang looked at Shen Qing deeply, as if thinking about something.
As the village chief, he is not as broad-minded and thoughtful as her.
"If we survive the flood, it will be all thanks to you." If they don't survive, that's their fate, it's their destiny.
Shen Qing was stunned. She didn't expect Jiang Yang to think so highly of her.
She felt a little ashamed. To be fair, everything she did was based on her own interests. She taught the third branch of the Jiang family a craft to make money because she thought they were excellent relatives and could form a team to look after each other during the escape.
She outsourced the business to Feng and Qin because she needed it, and secondly because they were nice people.
The same is true for the Zhao and Hong families today;
Like Sun Xiaomai and Zhou Chuncao, they are neighbors living in the same village, but she doesn't want to earn a penny for them, let alone form a team with them.
"If we can survive on the road of fleeing famine, it is everyone's credit." After all, in the dream, the Jiang family died one after another, and the family was almost extinct.
The first priority is to stay alive. As for whether you live well or not... I can't care about that for now.
Jiang Yang thought even further ahead.
Where can we flee to when floods strike? Farming elsewhere is impossible this year, so we have to wait until next year. But how will we get enough food during the time between clearing the land for planting and harvesting?
Shen Qing wanted to leave early. Not to mention that he couldn't leave, even if he could leave, he would have to stay and see. He was not sure whether the fields could be cultivated. For a farmer who made a living from the soil, how could he bear to abandon his home and business and move to another place to live?
Only when we are sure that we cannot survive on this land will we resolutely embark on the road of escape and unite to fight the enemy!
Only when everyone is united can the team be led.

The reason why Shen Qing told Mr. Jiang Erye that he wanted to find Zhao Hong and his family to buy fish and shrimp and supply vegetables was mainly to avoid alienation among his family members.
Most people in Qili Village can fish and catch shrimps. Jiang Datao, Jiang Sanye, and Jiang Wuye can do it.
There are also dried wild vegetables. Every household has a woman at home, and purslane and amaranth are everywhere on the ridges of the fields. If everyone is accepted, they will not be able to be distributed.
There are not many resources, so we can only try to distribute them evenly, otherwise poor people may really starve to death!
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ying, the second master of Jiang, not only did not become alienated from her, but instead thought that she was a person of vision, responsibility, and selflessness.
Shen Qing: .....I am far from being able to sacrifice myself for others, and I don’t even want to achieve it, but I feel a little proud when I am praised for my vision and responsibility.

When we arrived at the Zhao family and told them the decision, the Zhao brothers' mouths were so wide open that eggs could almost fit in them. It took them a long time to react.
Boss Zhao blinked his dry eyes and asked uncertainly, "You said you want to exchange this year's new grain for fish, eels, loaches, and even small wild shrimp?"
He could understand big fish, eels and loaches, but small wild shrimps had big heads and small bodies, with very little meat, making them difficult to eat. Apart from feeding the children with the shrimp tails, the rest could only be smashed and fed to the chickens. It was almost like giving them away for free. Who would be willing to exchange them for food?
Especially since it’s new grain produced this year!
Shen Qing added: "Well, small wild shrimps are also needed. As for fish, small fish are best. Forget it, big fish are also needed."
Even if they caught a big fish, they were reluctant to eat it and had to go to the city to sell it. It was a waste of time and effort but they could not get much money from it. It would be better to save time and catch more fish.
As for the products in Dayu Mall, although they are not valuable, you can keep them for your own consumption.
Chopped pepper fish head, boiled fish, pickled fish, pepper and salt fish bones, braised fish pieces... She was a little craving for fish.
Zhao Laoer was certain that Shen Qing was subsidizing their Zhao family in disguised form!
Otherwise, it would be reasonable to want big fish, but why would you want small fish and wild shrimp? These two things are caught and crushed to feed chickens, ducks and geese so that they can lay more eggs.
Shen Qing explained, "As you know, my family is making brushes right now, and everyone is very busy. We simply don't have time to fish them out. Besides, the wheat harvest is next month, so we won't be able to spare the time either. So, I can only trouble you to collect them yourselves. I'm really sorry."
They worked hard to catch fish and shrimp and bring them over, but they had to collect the food themselves in exchange, so they had to put in twice the effort for the same job.
The Zhao brothers hurriedly shook their heads and said in unison, "It's no trouble, no trouble! We're very happy!"
That's wheat, wheat already grown in the fields! Who wouldn't be happy to see it?
They went to the fields to visit every day, looking forward to a fuller, more mature and better harvest. Shen Qing was now going to give them the wheat that their family had grown with great effort. They only had to work hard to harvest it, and it would be theirs after the harvest. How could this be a trouble?
This is what all farmers dream of!
"Okay, unhulled wheat is seven wen a jin, and yellow eel is about thirteen or fourteen wen. How about two jin of wheat for one jin of yellow eel?
Fish and shrimp... "Shen Qing was in a dilemma. How should he decide on these two things? There was no specific selling price in the city.
Boss Zhao added, "How about three pounds of small fish and shrimp for one pound?"
After saying that, I thought anxiously, this shouldn't be considered taking advantage, right?
Zhao Laoer was also feeling uneasy. Small fish and shrimps were worthless and there were not many to sell in the city. If they were to be sold, they would either be given away with the big fish or sold in large piles for a few cents. There was no specific price.
Three pounds for one pound, Shen Qing just couldn't ask for more!
At that moment, she felt that the Zhao brothers were really good people, honest and simple, and they didn't do anything to her when she came to them.
She said in one breath, "Okay, in addition to the vegetables grown in the water, there are also wild vegetables. I'll send you five catties of fresh wild vegetables every day for ten cents. If there are any dried vegetables, I'll also take them for five cents per catty. You can ask the women at home. If it's okay, they'll deliver it tomorrow morning."
Before the eldest and second Zhao brothers could reply, their wives, who had been eavesdropping at the door, rushed out impatiently and said to Shen Qing, "Sure! I'll have it delivered early tomorrow morning. It's absolutely fresh!"
I never thought that the wild vegetables that are everywhere in the fields can be turned into money, and at two cents per pound!
There are also dried vegetables. If they dig too many and can't finish eating them, they will blanch them and dry them, and save them for the winter when there are fewer vegetables. Every household has them, and Shen Qing chose their Zhao family. Shen Qing is so nice.
Zhou Chuncao and Sun Xiaomai are really ungrateful. Shen Qing was nice to them but they were treated like a donkey's liver and lungs. No wonder Shen Qing is not nice to them anymore.
They must learn from their experiences and lessons, and must not follow the cruel and ruthless behavior of Zhou Chuncao and Sun Xiaomai!
Shen Qing stood up and said with a smile, "Then it's settled."
The Zhao family thanked Shen Qing profusely until they could no longer see her. The family closed the gate to the yard and looked at each other, still feeling it was unreal.
"Boss, I originally thought that the Jiang family, no, Sister Shen, was such a kind person. Isn't this giving us money and food?"
"Yes, otherwise who would spend money to buy wild vegetables? I heard that Master Jiang's family makes tofu because of her. Why should I just ask Master Jiang for a few pounds of wild vegetables every day? Why spend money to buy them?"
"It's not just Third Master Jiang's family. Have you forgotten Feng and Qin's families? As long as she says the word, every family will be eager to send wild vegetables and dried vegetables."
"There are also small wild fish and river shrimps. They are this year's new food. They are also exchanged with us."
"She specifically promoted us, so we must live up to her expectations in the future!"
