Crossing the old lady of the farm gate

Chapter 203 Borrowing Food
Ding Wenxuan really felt that his head was getting bigger. It would be great to be a small county magistrate. Why did he want to be promoted? Even though he had gained an official position, there were too many things to handle.The pressure is so great, he really wants to resign from office and live a rural life with peace of mind.

"My lord, didn't the medical sage say last time that the Chen family is willing to donate a batch of food? How about we—"

Ding Wenxuan naturally understood what his master meant, but the last time the Chen family gave out more food, this time Plague asked him for food, and he didn't know if he had much, and the food also cost money. bought.

Ding Wenxuan finally struggled for a while, and decided to borrow food from the Chen family.

"Wen He, please write a letter first to see if the Chen family is still willing to provide grain. If yes, we will send someone to pick it up. If not, then we have to find another way."

"Okay! My lord, I'll do it now."

In the afternoon of that day, Bailan received a letter from Ding Wenxuan, and learned that there was a shortage of food in Zhoushui County.

"Master Ding, you can just send a message to Mr. Ding, saying that there is still a batch of grain in my family that I can send someone to pick up. It is about [-] to [-] catties."

The guards didn't expect that the Chen family still had so much food. Didn't they say they kept the food for snacks?How do you save so much?Desserts made from fresh rice must be better than this old one?
Bai Lan saw the guard's doubts, but he didn't want to explain too much. Too much explanation would be all lies. It's better not to let them guess at will. Anyway, the food he bought was also donated to them. What can he say? of.

"Mrs. Chen, since you are still willing to donate so much food, I will definitely give it to Mr. Ding. I don't know when I can come to pick up the food? Let me tell you the truth about the food in the city. It can last for about seven or eight days. , I don’t know when the medical saints will be able to develop the antidote.”

"[-] to [-] catties of grain also need to be put somewhere. I don't know if you can take it away at once. If you can, I can ask the villagers to move the grain to the entrance of the village for you, and you can send people to pick it up."

Ding Wenxuan learned that the Chen family still had [-] to [-] catties of grain, which not only made him a little surprised, but he donated a lot last time, and this time there is so much left, he was really curious, when did the Chen family buy it? With so much food, and buying so much food, although making snacks, is it better to make snacks made from rice that has been stored for a long time than fresh rice?This is impossible.

After thinking about it, people are willing to donate anyway, and the food is obtained from formal channels, so I have nothing to doubt.

"Wenhe, there is still so much food, let's pull it over at once, the Chen family is busy. By the way, you send more people there. If there are not enough people, choose some strong people from the surnames. .”

"My lord, don't worry about this matter, I will take care of it."

When the guard came to Chen's house to deliver the letter, Wei Tong was by Bai Lan's side.

Wei Tong looked at Bai Lan curiously, "Mrs. Chen, when did your family prepare so much rice?"

"I plan to open a dim sum shop, so I stocked up some more. When this kind of thing happens, I donate what I have at home. In a few months, new food will be planted. My family has so many fields, and the village Planting has also started inside, and if you want to open a shop at that time, you can also buy fresh rice from the people in the village, anyway, there is no rush at this time.”

"Old man, we don't have enough manpower. Go tell the village chief to ask him to send more people to move the food to the entrance of the village. Don't delay those people from coming to carry the food."

"Bai Lan, let's wait for the food transporters to come over and move the food. We live at the end of the village. There are many people and strength, so we are not afraid of anything. When the time comes, we will call all the laborers in the village. Now the village is also under quarantine. , everyone is at home and has no work to do, let's give a few pennies and move the food directly to the car, and let them rest not far away."

It's fine if Bai Lan can think about it, and save them moving it a second time.
