After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

Li Huyu imagined Zi Qian's days in Shuiqing countless times in Nandu.

There is no shortage of vegetables in the village, but after the flood, there was no harvest in the fields, and the food was probably not enough. Fortunately, Manshan said that there were a lot of potatoes when he went back. Even if he harvested a lot, the rest should be enough to fill the stomachs of the family in Baijiazhuang. Not a problem.

She knew that Shui Qing had raised chickens and rabbits, and there were also many people there. The chickens had to be kept to lay eggs, and they would be reluctant to eat them. Fortunately, there were rabbits that they could play with from time to time.

She knew that Zi Qian's life here would not be too difficult, but she never imagined that it would be so easy!

Since when, not only have pigs been raised, there are also a large number of sheep, chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits.

She turned to look at her husband, and saw Manshan scratching his forehead in confusion, and whispered: "When I left, the food was not so abundant."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have told Hu Yu!

For more than a year, he and Hu Yu had been short of food and clothing in Nan. They could still wear the same clothes as before, but the food shortage was really uncomfortable!

I always worry about how Shui Qing and his family will live in the village. After all, it's a long way from Shanshui Village to Fucheng. It's not safe outside and it would be dangerous to go back and forth for several hours.

There is no cloth and no fresh meat, so why not live frugally?

However, I never expected that they were completely self-sufficient! It’s still very bountiful!

Li Huyu muttered: "In prosperous times and troubled times, it is better to stay in a village. The more remote the better."

"Nonsense, this was done by Shuiqing and Jindi's diligence and cleverness. Look at the lazy ones, they don't even have anything to eat!" Bai Manshan disapproved and retorted in a low voice.

Li Huyu rarely argued with him and agreed with his point of view.

Seeing that the two of them were standing still, Mother Hu greeted her warmly: "You two have come a long way, but we can't sit down until you two sit down. Hurry up and take your seats, we can start eating."

Bai Ziqian looked at his father and mother, who had obviously lost a lot of weight, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Mom and dad, try my roasted rabbit. It's delicious. Eat more!"

Shui Qing followed: "Please advise your parents to stay here for a while, and keep it as mellow and rich as when they first met!"

Bai Manshan waved his hands repeatedly and joked: "No, no! I finally lost weight. Didn't you notice that I look tall and tall after losing weight? It's not easy. I don't want to gain weight again!"

He said not to gain weight, but he had already sat down honestly. He took his wife with him and said to everyone: "Hurry up and take a seat, let's eat!"

Others smiled with sadness.

The meal ended with Bai Manshan stroking his round belly and burping.

After the meal, Ding Jiajia brought the hawthorn water for digestion and fatigue, and Qin Yilin poured a large cup for Bai Manshan - for fear that he would feel uncomfortable sleeping at night after eating too much.

Bai Manshan thanked him and took it happily.

They were too full after dinner and couldn't fall asleep right away, so Bai Manshan, Li Hu, Yushui, Qing Fanjin and the others went to the teahouse instead.

The others cleared the table, went for a walk outside to eat, and did not disturb the four people talking about private matters.

Bai Ziqian looked at the tea room again and again, and finally followed Xing back to Fan Jiang and went outside.

In the tea room, the four of them were indeed talking about private matters.

"Fortunately, the gold, silver, soft antiques and the like were shipped to you in advance. You don't know that those gangsters can still be kept out. The officials are worse than the gangsters! After entering the house, I rummaged around and found the worthless vases. They all looted a lot and left!" Li Huyu gritted his teeth angrily when he remembered what happened at that time.

Bai Manshan patted his wife's hand and sighed: "Businessmen are still humble. If the people don't fight with the officials, they will just waste money and eliminate disasters. The foundation of our family will be left untouched."

When I was in the Bai family, my heart was calm.

Even if those gangsters really broke in, at least Qian'er was not there, and when those officials broke in, the Bai family's gold, silver and jewelry were not there either.

Fan Jin sighed silently.

What Shui Qing was thinking was, "It would be great if you could become imperial merchants."

He is also a businessman, but with the word "emperor" in his name, he means that he works for the emperor, so his status and status are naturally different.

Bai Manshan's eyes lit up, he kept nodding, and then he let out a long sigh: "I have thought about it before, but it is too difficult to become an imperial merchant! This is not something that can be achieved just by having money. To put it bluntly, a dynasty At the beginning, you must provide them with military supplies, the most important of which is food and grass, so as to make achievements and gain trust!

The imperial merchants are all appointed by the emperor. From now on, they will be rich and noble. To be honest, the Bai family's money can be ranked high in Nandu and even Guangdong, but the provision of food and grass is still a bit weak. I stopped thinking about it in peace. "

Shui Qing thought that the fight between King Yan and the New Emperor would be an opportunity, but this was not something they could imagine. Neither King Yan nor the New Emperor could be seen by ordinary people like them.

She asked instead: "Are you going to take some of the property you left here with you back this time or all of it?"

Bai Manshan shook his head: "Not even."

Shui Qing blinked, thinking he heard wrongly.

Li Huyu clarified her doubts: "The family still has some money, which is enough to meet daily needs.

There is chaos everywhere now. Although the Bai family is not selling off their shop and land at low prices like other families, they are not planning to add to it. There is no need to spend a large amount of money, so I have to ask you to help keep this money for a while. . "

Shui Qing's heartstrings twitched, and he quickly asked: "How many shops are being sold off in Nandu? The price is very low?"

"Not only is it low, it is already a low price, it has never been low! Think about it, there are floods and wars, antiques are in prosperity and gold is in chaos, and the same is true for shops. Those shops cannot be rented out, and they cannot be taken away. Don't think about selling it and turning it into money.

Once things get messed up, the money can be taken away at any time, otherwise it will just be a pile of bricks. "Li Huyu can understand the mentality of those who sell shops. Not every family has extra money. Only gold and silver are stable in the palm of your hand.

Shui Qing asked without hesitation: "How to sell the shop and the land?"

Li Huyu heard it, Shui Qing wanted to buy it?

She looked at the owner worriedly. She didn't understand things in the mall, but everyone was selling them now. Is it worthwhile for Shui Qing to buy at this time?

If there is a war later, the people can only run away, but the shop cannot take them with them, and the money will be wasted.

Shui Qing can't say that she knows that this battle will be almost over in three years. Besides, their place was a place of exile in the past, and it is not a battleground for military strategists. From another perspective, uh, it is safer.

"My idea is that floods don't happen often after all, especially if they are as serious as last year's. The war will end sooner or later. Once it ends, Nandu will become prosperous again. Our medicinal shop has made some money, so we can take advantage of this." Opportunity to purchase a shop.”

Li Huyu's eyes were round and round, and he blurted out: "When did you open the herbal medicine shop?"

Why didn't she know?
