Chapter 270 The Extreme Cold Weather Arrives
Three months later, a group of thieves went to the Yan family's mansion.
Everyone heard that the Yan family was rich, but when the thieves came, they found that the mansion was just an empty shell. Even the tables, chairs and benches had been taken away, and no one knew when they moved in.
Hearing the noise coming from the master bedroom, Yan Wentao was like a dehydrated maggot, trying his best to crawl up the stairs.
He has been able to survive until now by eating the corpses. Now he finally hears the sound of people moving up there. This is probably his last chance.
Unfortunately, before he could crawl to the stairs, the bandit who had been messing around in the master bedroom left cursing, leaving only the sound of footsteps getting farther and farther away.
In fact, the basement was not particularly soundproof at first. He had it renovated because he was worried that the sound of Yao Zhaodi being tortured would be heard.
Therefore, no matter how he shouted in the basement, the robbers outside could not hear him.
Yan Wentao regretted his decision, but it was too late now.
……
……
Song Pan'er did not accompany Yao Xing to the capital. She decided to do business nearby.
First they purchased charcoal and firewood, and then they collected grain.
The price she offered was very fair, and it was quite a lot in this dimension.
Almost all the streets of the town were filled with them.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Song Paner and Qiuqiu returned to Songjiabao.
At this time, Songjiabao was covered with heavy snow, and every household had already lit their kangs.
When Qian Jinfeng saw her daughter who had been gone for a month, she wanted to say, "You've lost weight," but she couldn't bring herself to say it.
No matter how you look at this girl, she doesn't seem to be thin at all!
It seems that Bodhisattva Guanyin takes good care of her disciples.
Song Pan'er was curled up on the kang in the main house. She took out the cakes she had bought from her stepmother's side from the supermarket and had people distribute them one by one. Only then did she ask about what had happened recently.
"There's nothing special recently. It's the same as before you left, except that the weather is getting colder and the roads are always icy, making it inconvenient to transport grain by land." Qian Jinfeng held her daughter's arm, unwilling to let go for a moment. She had never been separated from her daughter for so long.
Song Pan'er leaned her head on her mother's shoulder, thought carefully, and replied, "Just sprinkle some wood ash on it, or try tying straw ropes on the wheels."
Song Dahe rushed in from outside like a gust of wind, "My daughter? Where's my daughter? Didn't they say that Pan'er is back?"
Song Pan'er waved to Song Dahe, "Old Song, I'm here!"
Song Dahe ran over quickly and hugged his daughter in his arms, "Stinky girl! You miss your dad so much! How is it? Did you suffer?"
Song Pan'er shook her head. "No, everything went well. I came back after traveling."
Qian Jinfeng pulled up a small blanket beside her and was about to wrap Song Pan'er in it. Upon hearing this, she casually asked, "Will you travel again in the future?"
Song Pan'er said "hmm", "Just go once a month."
When they heard her say that she only went there once a month, the couple looked at each other and finally felt relieved.
"Okay, one month is fine. I see that you have matured a lot since you came back this time, like a grown-up girl. This shows that traveling has its benefits." Song Dahe smiled and looked at his daughter, as if he could not see enough of her.
After a long time, he discovered a problem.
"Daughter, have you gained weight again?"
Song Paner: ???
Song Pan'er: "Old Song!!! I haven't gained weight!"
Damn it! She's just growing! She's growing, not gaining weight!
Song Dahe's eardrums hurt from her voice. He raised his hand to rub his ears and said, "Okay, okay, I'm not fat, so why are you yelling?"
Song Paner: ...
She was so angry that she jumped off the kang, put on her slippers and ran away.
She wants to leave this place that makes him sad!
As soon as I returned to my room, Feng Nian'er and Xue Ping'er came over.
As soon as they entered the house, they started talking about the snow and blood disaster.
"I heard that several villages in the county were affected by the disaster. Chizi is so worried that his head is almost going bald." Feng Nian'er was worried. She was worried about Hechi and the villagers affected by the disaster.
Song Pan'er glanced at him and said, "I just got a batch of grain back. I asked Chizi to write the IOU and pay me back next year when the grain is harvested."
She couldn't bear to watch the villagers starve to death or freeze to death, so now that she was not short of food, she could lend some out.
Next year, the whole county will plant high-yield and high-quality varieties, and the income should be paid back in one season.
Xue Ping'er reported on the recent results of poison research and development. It was said that she had made several colorless and odorless poisons. Song Pan'er praised her generously and asked for a few kilograms of each type to be prepared for her.
Xue Ping'er didn't know why she needed so much poison, but she would never refuse any of Song Pan'er's requests.
The three sisters had been chatting for a while when they heard Ajin come in to report that several managers from the workshop had arrived.
Song Pan'er had to leave temporarily and go see what the managers wanted to do.
When the manager of the workshop heard that she had returned from her travels, he hurried over.
It's nothing, they came to request that the workshop start operations.
They feel uncomfortable all over because they stay in the house all day without working.
Their request was very simple, which was to ask Song Pan'er to allow them to work, even without being paid!
To be honest, this was the first time in Song Paner's two lifetimes that she had heard such an outrageous request.
In the middle of winter, instead of staying at home to winter, they had to go to the workshop to work, and they did it for free. She really didn't understand what they were thinking.
But they were so enthusiastic that she couldn't bear to refuse. It just so happened that she could take the products produced in the workshop to other planes for trading.
So she happily agreed to their request, but increased their wages by 20% compared to before, after all, she was not a capitalist.
……
……
Yong'an County at this time.
Old Mrs. Yang finally understood why Song Pan'er was hoarding grain.
But she didn't care at the time, and later she had other things to do and had no time to buy food.
The grain merchants in Yong'an County began to look for ways to make money on their own.
Yong'an County was on the verge of running out of food, so they had to quickly prepare to make a fortune.
However, they found a way, but the price was so high that they couldn't make any money at all.
What makes people most infuriated is that those grains are old grains that they sold before. Now they have to buy them back with a pinch of their nose. It would be strange if they weren't angry.
Zhou Xin was also busy dealing with the disaster that befell the people of the city.
Seeing the soaring grain prices in the grain shop, Zhou Xin couldn't help but sigh again, he is worthy of being a little genius doctor, he is really a genius!
However, he still had to go and talk to the young doctor in person. If the price of grain was too high, something could go wrong.
As a local official, he should think more about the people.
Before he could go to Linjiang County in person, He Chi sent someone to deliver a letter.
It was mentioned that Songjiabao was willing to lend grain to the government office.
