Natural disasters in books: I stockpiled goods to escape famine in ancient times

Song Shiwei was surprised when he heard this: "Your eyesight is really powerful."

Feng Ru smiled happily: "Every time I go to the cloth shop to buy fabrics, I will touch the fabrics that I can't afford."

Song Shi smiled but said nothing.

When Zhang Wu came over, the two had already finished a pot of tea.

Feng Ru took the snacks handed to her by Zhang Wu, touched her round belly, stared at the snacks, wanting to eat them but unable to, which made Zhang Wu unable to help laughing.

"If you can't finish it, save it for later. The snacks won't run away."

Smelling the sweet fragrance of osmanthus, Song Shi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Freshly out of the oven?"

"Yes, I was passing by and saw the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes were just put on display, so I simply bought two. There aren't many desserts in the dessert shop today. The shopkeeper said it was due to a shortage of food. I guess the shop won't be open for long."

After an extremely hot drought, an extremely cold snowstorm came, and crops could not be grown at all. Now, all parts of the Dali Dynasty were consuming reserves from previous years, so naturally there was not much left.

"I made 1,100 buckets this month. I want all of them. The grocery store owner said they can be delivered to your home, so I left my address and they will be delivered in the next few days."

Song Shiwei smiled and nodded: "When the bucket is delivered, put the snow in the bucket. I have a use for it."

Zhang Wu responded loudly, "Okay."

Feng Ru waved his arms happily: "That's great, the snow can be put directly into the bucket every day, and there is no need to shovel it outside, which saves a lot of time."

After letting Zhang Wu sit down and drink a cup of tea, the three of them got up and left.

As soon as I walked out of the teahouse, someone called me.

Shen Qianxue stepped forward quickly: "Miss Song, it's really you, I thought I was seeing things."

Song Shiwei smiled faintly, glanced at Xie An who was walking behind Shen Qianxue, and nodded to the two of them: "Long time no see."

When Song Shiwei looked at the two of them again, Shen Qianxue was also looking at Zhang Wu and Feng Ru, with obvious surprise in her eyes.

Zhang Wu also nodded towards the other party: "Thank you, Mr. Shen."

Xie An was also surprised when he approached, especially when he met Song Shiwei here.

"Since we last met, I thought we would never see each other again. Miss Song, when did you arrive in the North?"

For some reason, Shen Qianxue always felt that Song Shiwei was very kind every time she saw her, so she couldn't help but talk more.

"Half a month earlier than you," Song Shiwei could also feel the kindness from Shen Qianxue. Since she was a woman, she naturally had more patience than with men.

Shen Qianxue smiled even brighter when she heard this: "Xie An, my brother and I will stay in the city for a while. If Song Shiwei is free, he can go to Zhou Mansion to look for us. We haven't seen each other for a long time, so we can catch up."

Song Shiwei didn't refuse nor agree, she just said: "We still have things to do, Miss Shen, see you later."

"See you."

Xie An did not speak from beginning to end. After watching them leave, he was about to take Shen Qianxue back. But when he turned around, he saw her staring at Song Shiwei and the others' backs without blinking. He immediately laughed, "When did you like Miss Song so much? I've never seen you care so much about others before."

"Don't you think Miss Song has an attractive temperament? I feel very comfortable every time I talk to her."

Xie An looked at her incredulously: "Do you feel comfortable talking to her? Go back and tell your brother about this and see if he believes it. However, Miss Song is neither humble nor arrogant to anyone, and she is calm and composed. She is indeed special. I can't say that she is attractive. You are the only one in the world who can attract me."

"Shameless," Shen Qianxue blushed and glared at him.

The reason I came to the city today was for the water bucket matter, and now that the job is done I should naturally go home.

Not long after the three of them arrived home, Li An came with some things.

Inviting the guests into the main hall, Li An placed the heavy bundle on the table and clasped his fists towards Song Shiwei: "The clothes for Ruer are ready. There are also some remaining leathers. They will be delivered in a few days. Miss Song, do you want to take a look?"

Song Shiwei pouted at Feng Run: "Why don't you try?"

The three of them looked at the little girl with smiles on their faces.

Feng Ru was a little embarrassed at first, but she couldn't resist the little girl's coquettishness, so she finally opened the bag and took out the clothes in front of several people.

When Feng Ru returned to her room to change her clothes, Li An said, "I made two fur coats, two pairs of deerskin boots, and a small cloak for Ru'er. When I passed by a clothing store on the way here, I saw some newly made capes that were suitable for a girl of this age, so I bought two. As for the remaining leather, I have already tanned it, and the young master even asked his servants to fumigate it with incense."

It was strange that a fragrance came out as soon as the bundle was opened. It turned out to be because of the incense.

Song Shiwei really couldn't imagine that someone like Zhou Huai would actually know how to burn incense.

Picking up the tea and opening the lid a little, the aroma of tea wafted into his nose. Song Shiwei took a sip, put down the teacup and spoke slowly: "Today we met Shen Qianxue and Xie An in the city. Shouldn't they be at the border? Why are they wandering around the city?"

Li An didn't know that several people had entered the city today. Hearing this, he smiled and explained: "Miss Qianxue and Master Xie are now guests at Zhou's residence. They have discussed many things with Master these days. As for the reason, it is not for me to ask. If you want to know, just ask my Master. He will definitely tell you."

"I was just asking casually. I heard that General Zhou led his troops to attack the bandits and won a great victory. It seems that the people in the northern border can live in peace for a while."

Li An smiled and nodded: "The reason why I went to the military camp with you some time ago was because of the bandits."

I think it’s because of Shen Qianxue’s rebirth that the bandits’ surprise attacks have turned into soldiers taking the initiative to attack.

"Oh, by the way, I came here today for another matter. Miss Qianxue and her friends will be leaving in two days. I heard that you are acquainted with them, so I want to invite you to a banquet."

Song Shiwei immediately shook his head: "I won't go. Shen Qianxue and I are not familiar with each other. We are just acquaintances. Go back and thank your master for me."

Why should I thank him? If I didn't invite Song Shiwei, I might be kicked out by the young master when I return. Li An couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he still had a smiling face.

"Okay, I'll tell you when I get back. It's cold out here, so please take care of yourself. If you need anything, just send someone to the Zhou Mansion to look for me or you."

Song Shi smiled and agreed.

At this time, Feng Ru came in after changing his clothes. The little guy looked like a short and fat man in a fur coat, and he also put on brand new deerskin boots on his feet, which looked thick and energetic.

The cute and well-behaved little girl suddenly becomes wild and eye-catching.

Li An couldn't help but say, "Ruer looks really good in this kind of clothes."

Song Shiwei: "It fits me well."

Zhang Wu: “Very beautiful.”

Feng Ru's face flushed, and she smiled shyly at the three people in the hall: "Thank you, Brother Li An, I like it very much."

"I'm glad you like it. I also bought you two cloaks. Remember to put them on when you go out in the snow and wind, so you don't get cold."

"Okay," Feng Ru turned to look at Zhang Wu: "Brother Zhang Wu, it's time to learn to read."

After the two left the main hall, Li An asked, "Is Ru'er learning to read?"

"Not only that, Zhang Wu taught her how to read in the morning, and taught her how to practice swordplay in the afternoon."

Li An looked at Song Shiwei in shock: "Practicing sword? Can she hold the sword?"

Song Shiwei's smile deepened: "You can't hold it now, so let's lay a solid foundation first. If you have time, give her more guidance in the future. I see that you are very agile, so you should be taught by a famous teacher."
