Stepmother Shaoguang

Chapter 161
After Haishi learned about the situation at home, he actually already had the answer in his heart.

She asked her brothers and sisters-in-law to sit down around the round table, and said slowly: "Brother, sister-in-law, our family is actually the top in the civil and business circles now. Have you noticed that, except for the few companies that have cooperated with us , the Wang family and the enemy family who were still in contact with each other in the early years, can they help us speak this time?"

They treat several friendly merchants well, and often help them to join in when opportunities arise. Otherwise, how can the Wang family have the right to speak in the chamber of commerce?

It's just that the farmer and the snake came into reality, and this time it was actually the two of them who first proposed it, asking the president to put pressure on it.

When mentioning these two families, everyone in the Hai family looked unhappy.

Hai Shi snorted: "No matter what happens this time, our family will definitely not be able to associate with this kind of person in the future."

"That's natural!" Brother Hai patted his chest on behalf of the others.

But Haishi's idea surprised him even more.

"Brother, if we don't raise the price, we won't sell like now. It's hard to please." Haishi tapped his fingers on the table, his eyes were firm, "How much food do we have left? Why don't we just take it all out and set up porridge sheds on the outskirts of the city to help those people?" Disaster victims, this way the chamber of commerce won’t be able to point fingers at us and scold us.”

"We have also thought about this method." Brother Hai is not sure, "It's just that it will offend the Chamber of Commerce even more in this way?"

Hai's hadn't figured out how to make a good ending yet, so he ran into difficulties for a while.

"Will not."

He Shaoguang listened to the corner of the table for a long time, and smiled slyly at his uncle and mother, "Don't we have a ready-made backer? Why don't uncle speak to Mr. Xue to gain a good reputation, and it will be more convenient to do things in the future."

By the way, backed by the imperial court, is there a bigger tree than this?
Brother Hai is also a willing person, he thinks this plan is feasible, and he doesn't feel sorry for the little money, so he agreed immediately: "Yes, doing this can be regarded as accumulating virtue for our family."

Hai Lao San rubbed the back of his head, and said unwillingly: "You two are still smart, we old men have been thinking like fools for a few days, but we can't do anything, and we don't know how the cleverness of our parents is inherited from our little sister. gone."

The third sister-in-law Hai laughed at him: "My little sister has read books, how about you? You start to feel sleepy when you touch the paper, how can you compare?"

He glanced at his son, he was eighteen or nineteen years old, and he was as dumb as he was when he was young.

Can't help but start to sigh.

Hai Sansao also began to sigh when she saw her silly son.

Hai Yucheng didn't know what happened to his parents, so he hurriedly cared: "Mom, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"It's okay." Hai Lao San affectionately touched the head of Hai Yucheng, who was taller than him, and secretly discussed with his old wife: "You said that if Yuxin and Yucheng's two children get married, we will also hire a husband for his baby in the future." ?”

Mrs. Hai San agreed very much.

As for money, earning almost enough is enough, especially for rich families like theirs, people still need to be smart so as not to be bullied.

Tired from walking, Lu Xiaowen saw an old farmer still working in the field, so he went over to sit on the ridge and chat with him about his family's situation this year.

I learned that there were five people in this old farmer's family, and the youngest son left with the caravan because he couldn't bear the hunger, and exchanged a few bags of grain for the family.

But this food is not enough to eat.

He saw that someone in the village had started planting winter wheat. Although he knew it was not good for the land, his little grandson couldn't help crying from hunger, so he discussed it with his old wife and started farming with the villagers.

The old farmer talked about his sensible young son, and looked into the distance silently.

On the endless fields, there are a few busy figures sporadically, and most of them are old and weak.

Lu Xiaowen felt sorry for him, how many people in the capital were born in the home of Zhongming Dingshi, and they couldn't see the suffering of the people, so they didn't want to see Yu Shiping.

And Xue Litai was listening to his boss's orders, and put Lu Xiaowen first in everything. Lu Xiaowen didn't want to see Yu Shiping, so he also distanced himself from Yu Shiping.

Walking on the road these days, he desperately drove Lu Xiaowen and Xue Litai ahead, and his round waist was reduced a lot.

The Hai family actually decided to set up a porridge shed for free, which is undoubtedly great news for those who were ordered to provide relief.

When Big Brother Hai came forward to tell Lu Xiaowen about this, hoping that he could invite Xue Litai out, Lu Xiaowen's expression became a bit serious: "Uncle Dayi. My nephew has visited the disaster-stricken villages and towns in the past few days, which is shocking. The current situation needs you and More grain merchants stand up."

It really solved their urgent needs.

In the name of the imperial court, Xue Litai set up porridge sheds in the seventeen counties of Dingzhou Prefecture, while the Haijia Grain Store was officially closed and sealed.

The guy from the Hai family was stopped by a long line at the door, and an old woman hurriedly dragged him to ask, "Why don't you sell it? I've been waiting in line for so long, so let me buy it and go back before closing the door!"

"Aren't you going to increase the price too? Bah! It's so nice to say, it's not here to make black-hearted money!"

The man calmed down the angry crowd: "Don't worry, everyone! Our granaries are empty now, and we really don't have any grain to sell to everyone. It's not that we want to increase the price, it's that we can't buy any more."

"Fuck you, yesterday I saw that the back yard was still full!"

The guy was almost spit all over his face, and said with a stuffy heart, "Don't worry, auntie, I haven't finished talking yet. All the food in our Hai family has been donated to Master Xue, who was sent by the court to help the disaster. A porridge shed has been set up here, everyone just go and get free hot porridge!"

When everyone heard this, they dispersed with a "wow".

Finally, no one pulled his arm and refused to let him go. The man rubbed his arm that was falling apart, shook his head and went home to sleep.

After a long distance from the porridge shed, they could smell the fragrance of rice. Many people lined up spontaneously. Those who received the porridge couldn’t help being dumbfounded. How could this be porridge for disaster relief?This is thicker than what they eat at home.

In addition to a bowl of thick and smooth porridge, you can also get a multigrain cake to fill your stomach, which will definitely fill you up.

And in order not to let anyone eat and come to pick it up again, so that the people behind can't eat, it's still the same as the Hai family's food distribution, and one person can only get two bowls at most based on their status.

The aroma of the stove fire spread among the victims, and everyone held a pottery bowl in their hands, cherishing the long-lost feeling of fullness.

Of course, it was also seen by the group of grain merchants from the chamber of commerce. The person sent by the Qiu family to inquire casually chatted with someone at the back of the team. Hearing that everyone was praising the Hai family and the court, he couldn't help but feel guilty:
When he went back, he would have to be scolded by the master to vent his anger.

He Shaoguang and Hai Shi also guarded a porridge shed, helping to distribute the porridge and multigrain cakes. She taught the recipe of the multigrain cakes. It saves food and is sweet and chewy. It is absolutely full.

Raising his eyes to meet a little boy covered in dust, he timidly reached out to ask her for a cake, He Shaoguang smiled at him softly: "Here, take it and eat."
