Physician and Food [Farming]

Tie Dan once took Gou Wa to take a look at the porridge shop.Every porridge stall has a tasting team in front of it.Both young and old are supported.Some people dress with a bit of dignity.I don't know if it's because the past was rich and the recent run-down, or the family is not difficult at all, and they just come here to eat a bowl of porridge.

But these are not what the two of them care about.

Tiedan checked the thickness of the porridge.Porridge can't be made of rice. Rice is very expensive nowadays. Even if Gouwa is willing to buy rice, he may not be able to buy enough to feed so many people.So the porridge is made of miscellaneous grain noodles, and some medicines are added to warm the body.It's not good to drink, but it's very good to drink in winter.

God still hasn't snowed, and it is already foreseeable that next year will be another famine year.

This year the people have been very difficult.What about tomorrow?

This year, no one in the village is willing to sell their food, and basically every household has saved up food for the coming year.

But if the harvest in the field in the coming year is not satisfactory or even goes out of production...

Gou Wa no longer dared to think about it any further.

"A lot of people don't look like hungry people, so how come they go to beg for porridge?" Gou Wa said reluctantly in the carriage.He is not a petty man.But those who are idle eat one more bite, and those who are serious and can't eat eat one less bite.This year's winter is not easy, if someone really starved to death, wouldn't it be caused by those idlers?

"Why bother to think about them, we serve the porridge as the head, and we don't care who eats the stomach." Tie Dan is a difficult problem through the ages, and Tie Dan doesn't have the heart to put all his energy on it.

Gou Wa frowned and said, "Isn't there something Elder Brother can do?"

Seeing that he took it seriously, Tie Dan glanced at him, thought for a while and said, "No, I'm afraid you won't agree if I say it."

"Talk about it anyway." Gouwa insisted.

Tie Dan hesitated for a while before opening his mouth and said, "Throw sand into the porridge."

Gouwa was stunned: "What?"

"You heard me right. The porridge is mixed with sand, and those hungry people have to eat it anyway to survive. But those who eat nothing, have decent food at home, so naturally they don't want to eat this." Tie Dan explained .

After hearing this, Gouwa was silent for a while before shaking his head: "Maybe it will work, but it's just a bit too damaging."

Although hungry people don't care about this.But eating sand for people is really not something he can do.

Tie Dan smiled and said, "Isn't this the end?"

Gouwa didn't speak anymore.Tie Dan couldn't bear to see him disappointed.After thinking about it, I added another sentence: "It's a big deal, I'll add a few more medicines to the porridge to make the porridge even more unpalatable. Even if there are misers who grit their teeth and drink it, they won't be able to drink it comfortably. If you have no money to see a doctor, you will not get sick easily after eating this to warm up your body.”

Gou Wa nodded hurriedly: "This is a good idea! It can not only teach those poor people a lesson, but also prevent the poor from being wronged."

Tie Dan leaned on Gou Wa and asked, "If you had no food to go to the porridge shop to eat porridge, would you care about it?"

Gouwa shook his head: "How is that possible? When you are hungry, let alone bitter or sandy, even if it is all feed for the livestock, it is also a good thing for nothing. The person who gives the porridge is a living Bodhisattva, so what? Can manage this."

Tie Dan smiled sarcastically: "Did you know that the person who used this method at the beginning would be reviled for it hundreds of years later?"

Gouwa was slightly stunned, a little puzzled: "Why? This is obviously a good deed!"

Tie Dan said: "Of course, he was scolded mainly because he is the most corrupt official of all time. And it was not he who gave the porridge, but the manager who distributed rice grains from the imperial court to the famine-stricken people in the disaster-stricken areas. For food, let all the victims eat porridge with sand. There are advantages and disadvantages."

This time, Gouwa couldn't tell whether it was right or wrong.This did allow the real victims to eat more, but the food distributed by the court was full of sand.The adults are fine, where can the elderly and children eat this?

The two first went to the Malatang shop to check the accounts. Recently, it was freezing cold, and the Malatang shop became more and more lively.Eating this is the best way to warm up on a cold day, and there are free hot soups and medicines in the store.After eating a large bowl of Malatang and a bowl of hot soup, I sweated and felt comfortable down to my bones.Some puppets feel cold and come over to eat a bowl, and more than half of them feel comfortable after eating.

After dinner, Tie Dan asked Gou Wa to stay at Dongguo's house for a while, and he went back to Bai's house to see the situation of Bai's house in the past few days.

But this time when he returned to the Bai family, Tie Dan got a big news for the Bai family.

The emperor suddenly became seriously ill.Right now, Prince Rong, the younger brother of the crown prince and the emperor's first-in-law, is the regent.It is suitable for the imperial court to work together.Prince Rong and the Bai family have always been close, and they belong to the third prince's faction.When the emperor was healthy, the two sides had a lot of friction, let alone now.

Tiedanka only felt a headache when he heard this.Another word came from the Bai family that Tie Dan, an imperial doctor, was required to come to Beijing to serve the emperor.Tie Dan didn't want to wade into this muddy water, and refused on the grounds that he was afraid that his sickness would aggravate his sickness and make him feel unwell.

He refused repeatedly, and the Bai family naturally made trouble with him.Even Tie Dan's nominal parents sent word back saying that he shouldn't keep refusing like this.After all, they are close relatives of flesh and blood, so there is no reason to focus on enjoying the results without paying.

In this regard, Tie Dan had no choice but to reply that he would try his best to trouble his own brother.

The court is not peaceful, and Tie Dan feels that the Bai family can't stay.After arranging things almost, he left in a hurry.

Gou Wa stayed at Dong Guo's place for a while, and Dong Guo saw that the time was almost up, so he sent their uncle and nephew to the carriage.When the carriage arrived in the old woods, Tie Dan would naturally get out and get on the carriage to go back together.

"The consumption of winter vegetables this year is still much higher than in previous years." Gouwa simply calculated the account, "We buy it cheaply, and the guest officials are willing to buy it. We also need to ensure that the vegetables are fresh, and they will be delivered in three or two days. Once. Once again, the profit will be even less. But if the price is raised? The current world is not good, and they are reluctant to eat it after raising the price, let alone sell it. "

Tie Dan’s mind is full of people in the capital, he was stunned when he heard what he said, and then he said: “This is something that can’t be helped. Or let’s just grow more vegetables with large quantities like cabbage. As long as the price is cheap, trust outsiders Can't say anything."

"After all, it's not a long-term solution." Gou Wa shook his head.

Tie Dan said again: "Let's add some soy products. Soybeans are not expensive, and there are many ways to make them. Let's join forces with someone who can make soy products and order more styles. The price... let's say it's the same price as vegetables .There will always be some pressure on the food. We are not afraid of not having enough food."

"It's an idea." Gouwa nodded, and then smiled, "We have worked really hard in business. Others have tried their best to make money. We also have to consider the transfer fee of the customer's money. But it's good. The guests eat well Together, we can earn money to keep the water flowing."

"Do you really think that doing business is easy? There are many tricks here." Tie Dan laughed.

Gouwa ignored Tie Dan, turned around and asked Suo Tou: "You can see clearly too. Do you want to learn to do business in the future?"

Suo Tou blinked a little ignorantly: "This is more tiring than practicing dance and reciting books."

Both Gouwa and Tiedan laughed.

"Should we continue to expand in the coming year?" Gou Wa asked.

Tie Dan shook his head: "No need for now. Wait until autumn."

If the weather is smooth in the coming year, opening a branch in autumn will be a new income.If next year is the same as this year.Don't talk about expansion, I'm afraid there will be a few shops closed.

Gouwa understood what Tie Dan meant, and was helplessly thinking about how to arrange the business in hand.

In a blink of an eye, it's the end of the year again.There are very few new year's goods that can be bought in the county this year. Gouwa and Tie Dan drove to the county to buy by themselves, so as not to find things that they didn't like.Tie Dan simply bought some things from the system that are also available in this world, loaded them into a half-carriage and returned, and distributed some to the pregnant Li Taohua.

At this time, Li Taohua's belly was very big, and it was almost the time of delivery.

Tiedan would sometimes feel her pulse to determine the health of the fetus.

Right now, the family is full of anticipation for this little life that is about to be born. Even if it is not their own flesh and blood, after getting along for a long time, they still treat it like their own family.

Coincidentally, the family found two more suitable long-term workers.It's a pair of brothers.

The two brothers are two years apart, and the older one is 23.In the past two years, their parents have passed away one after another, and the two brothers have always depended on each other.

In the past two years, production has been reduced again, and life seems to be difficult.

In the end, it was also a bit of a coincidence, and it went round and round to reach Gouwa's ears.After discussing with Tie Dan, Gou Wa asked the two brothers to come and have a look.

Speaking of these two names is quite interesting.One is called Liu Daqiao and the other is called Liu Erqiao.Tie Dan almost laughed out loud when he heard the name, and only said that his younger brother's name is Xiaoqiao, which is serious and interesting.

The name is a bit funny, but the brothers are still quite strong.It can be seen that if you eat well when you are young, you will grow strong.It's just that the past two years have been a bit crying, and people have lost weight.

Tie Dan asked them some questions, and now he seems to have a good character, so he stayed for the time being.

It's just that I don't know where to live right now, and ask them if they don't dislike it, they can build a bunk in the conservatory and sleep for a while.Although the conservatory was humid, it was the warmest.Persist this winter and build another one next year.

No one has heard of building a house for long-term workers.Seeing that the host family is so nice, the two brothers naturally nodded happily, and only lamented that they had met a living Bodhisattva.

So far, there are five long-term workers in the family.It's just that Li Taohua doesn't have the ability to work right now.

Fortunately, in winter, there is not as much life as in other seasons.The four long-term workers are more than enough to keep busy.Sometimes Zheng Si and Zhao Dongzhi would come to Gou Wa's place to help feed the animals, there was absolutely plenty of time.

Seeing that the new year is getting closer and closer, Tie Dan will talk to the long-term workers about what to eat for the New Year, or what kind of dumplings to make.

Everyone has different tastes and different energy levels.This chattering discussion became more and more lively.
