The escape system takes me to dig for treasures

Chapter 334 Preparing for opening

Song Yuxing ate two bowls of bacon stewed rice in one go. There was only one green vegetable stir-fried and a soup made on the table, but it was considered a rich meal with both meat and vegetables.

Seeing that he liked it so much, Mr. Jiang asked Aunt Zhang to wrap two pieces of bacon for the Song Yuxing brothers to take home to eat.

Song Yuxing grinned, "Why is this so embarrassing?"

But he took it honestly with both hands and handed it to the boy.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was still not too late, the two of them hurried back.

With the news brought by the two men, Jiang Li paid special attention to the situation at the city gate.

Sure enough, on the third day, the city gate finally opened.

There were still people giving porridge at the city gate, but there were fewer victims outside the city gate. It was not known whether they had not survived or the government had made other arrangements to evacuate the people.

This time, Jiang Li, Jiang Songshu and Zhang Sheng still entered the city. As Song Yulin said, now they have to pay to enter the city. One person paid five cents, and the three of them paid fifteen cents.

For ordinary people, especially those who live outside the city, they have to face the loess and back to the sky all day long. There is so much money. Even if they want to go to the city to do business, they have to bear the five cents to earn it back. risk.

Therefore, when Jiang Li and the others entered the city, there was no obstruction, and there were basically no people queuing up to enter the city.

As soon as they entered the city, the carriage went straight to the shop.

The shops in the south of the city haven't opened yet, and I don't know if the shops in the north of the city have been affected.

Jiang Li then said to Zhang Sheng: "Uncle Zhang, let's go to the north of the city!"

Zhang Sheng exclaimed and drove the carriage towards the north of the city.

Jiang Li and Jiang Songshu lifted the curtains. The houses in the south of the city were older than those in the north. Walking along the road, you could see that some houses on both sides of the road were still affected.

Although it has been several days since the floods receded, there are still some traces left on the walls of some houses, stained with dead leaves and mud, which were not cleaned off in time. Now that they are exposed to the sun, they look dirty.

The number of people begging on the road has also increased. Along the way, you can see some people with sallow faces and thin skin, holding bowls in their hands, begging for food from door to door.

"The situation in the city seems to be very serious. There are so many beggars. If we open a business, can we do it?"

Jiang Songshu said worriedly, his brows furrowed.

Jiang Li also looked at it with some solemnity.

This disaster has had a huge impact on the grain harvest. I wonder if the government has taken any measures?

Zhang Sheng heard this and expressed his opinion: "These people who beg for food on the street are originally from poor families, and those who can buy our braised pork and braised vegetables are in good financial conditions. This kind of family , even if we experience a disaster, the impact will not be too great.”

In Zhang Sheng's opinion, the owner's shop can still be opened.

While talking, the carriage arrived at the north of the city.

Unlike the south of the city, although the north of the city was also affected, compared with before the disaster, there were still more people picking up and walking, and we could even see some shops and restaurants open for business.

And here, there are naturally a lot of people begging, but it can be seen that the chances of getting food are higher when begging here, and the faces of the beggars look better than those in the south of the city.

Jiang Li said relentingly: "It seems that at least the shops in the north of the city have to open as soon as possible."

The carriage continued to the shop.

When we arrived at the door of the shop, a piece of the door panel was removed, showing that there was someone inside.

Zhang Sheng went to park the carriage, and Jiang Li and Jiang Songshu went in.

I saw the guy was inside.

"Master!"

The guy was scared.

"Isn't shopkeeper Zhang here?"

Jiang Li probed inside.

The clerk explained: "Before the disaster, the shopkeeper said he wanted to go home, but it rained heavily that night, and he hasn't come back yet!"

Speaking of this, Jiang Li really didn't know where Zhang Guiyang lived.

"Now that the flood has receded, it's time to open up business in our store." Jiang Li said, "Now that the shopkeeper is not here, can you do it alone? If not, I will send someone over tomorrow to assist you."

The guy nodded repeatedly, "Okay, boss."

One person is still needed. If he is the only one, he will be too busy. The shop here has a lot of traffic. Usually when Zhang Guiyang is around, the two of them will sometimes be too busy, let alone just him now. people.

After Jiang Li finished explaining to the clerk, she turned to Zhang Sheng and said, "Uncle Zhang, when we go back later, we should start making arrangements. As for the prices, look at the lotus roots and yuba bought at the market. Have they increased in price? If you buy them, If the price goes up, our prices should also go up accordingly, but not too much.”

"Also, arrange a manpower at the shop in the north of the city. Let's see who Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu come to help tomorrow."

The guy was listening.

After almost arranging the shop in the north of the city, Jiang Li told the waiter: "The shopkeeper is back, let him come to see me."

The three of them had other places to go. After seeing that there was no damage to the store in the north of the city due to the flood, they left.

Relatively speaking, the shops in the north and south of the city were fine, but the shops in the east were not.

When the three of them arrived, the shopkeeper and the waiters were still cleaning up.

The terrain on their side is also relatively low. The water in Yujiacun has receded for several days, but it only took these two days for the water on their side to recede completely.

The shops in the east part of the city are relatively large, so cleaning them is more troublesome.

The roof is also damaged and needs to be repaired.

"Then you should wait a few days before opening here. First, find someone to repair the house."

The damage was more serious in the east side of the city. I'm afraid there won't be many people coming to buy things for a while, so it wouldn't have much impact if it was just a little later.

Finally, we went to the west of the city. The situation in the west of the city was better than that in the east. The houses were not damaged, but Jiang Li and the three of them walked around the streets.

Not many people came out on the whole street, and the only people who could be seen coming out along the street were some beggars.

Jiang Li didn't say how Chengxi would arrange it.

"Let's go to the market first!"

The main business of the Jiang family is pork. Now that their own pigs, ducks and geese have been killed, they can only buy them from other people's stalls.

The overall situation of the market seemed to be very depressed. There were people coming out to buy things, but it was not as lively as in the past.

Went to the stall of old acquaintance Pork Chen.

Walking down the entire market, there was only one selling pork, and the business seemed to be good.

Pork Chen had just seen off a guest when he looked up and saw Jiang Li approaching.

He was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses, "Ali, long time no see. How are you? Is your family okay?"

Jiang Li's eyes fell on the pork he was hanging, and she took a moment to react.
