Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

We made two trips today, and by the time everyone returned to the yard it was already the middle of the night.

Xiaohu ran out of the inner room holding Chen Dong in his arms: "Brother Xu, why did you guys go out for so long today?"

"Uncle, have you eaten? My sisters and I cooked today's meal." Chen Dong looked at Xu Wenyan, waiting for praise.

"Wow, our Xiaodong is so awesome. He has even learned to help the sisters cook." Xu Wenyan rubbed Chen Dong's head.

Rongrong and Chen Xiaohua are also seven years old this year. The two girls are really capable. Xu Wenyan has also taught them how to cook, and the food they make is really delicious.

"You guys did a great job, bringing back two such big wild boars. We have processed the meat. Come in and have a meal." Xiaoman also came out and made arrangements.

Xu Wenyan was not in a hurry and poured all the crayfish into the pond at the back. They had lost their activity after walking all the way.

After a simple meal, they went to bed early. They were exhausted after bending their backs all day.

Xiaoman said that Chen Xingjie and the villagers have dug drainage ditches in front of all the houses in the village, so even if it rains heavily again in the future, the losses will not be too serious.

The next step is to reinforce the roof, but it is only reinforced with some wood and soil, and it still needs to be replaced with tiles or slate later.

The next morning, Xu Wenyan and Chen Sanlin went to the county again, carrying some medicinal herbs and the three giant turtles.

The sun was up all day yesterday, so the road is much easier to walk on today.

"Brother Chen, have you ever thought about your future life?" Xu Wenyan looked into the distance. Looking out from the mountain road, there were only mountains.

Chen Sanlin looked at Xu Wenyan: "In the future? If I have to say it, I want to be with you forever in the future."

"That's not the case." Xu Wenyan shook his head: "It's just that for future planning, there must always be a goal."

"Goal... isn't being with you all the time a goal?" Chen Sanlin was stunned.

Xu Wenyan opened his mouth, but ultimately did not say those hurtful words.

For example, what should you do if you don’t like it anymore in the future, or if a conflict arises?

In modern society, being able to accompany each other for a year is considered a long-lasting love, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many love songs playing on the streets.

After arriving at the county, it was visibly rare for people to walk on the streets, and there were fewer roadside stalls. When we arrived at Qing'an Restaurant, there were only Jia Anqing and the cook in the restaurant; even the waiter and the kitchen staff were gone.

"Xiao Jia?"

"Brother Xu! You are here." Jia Anqing raised his head, with a little excitement on his face.

Chen Sanlin went to the backyard to stop the horse, and Xu Wenyan sat down and asked Jia Anqing what had happened in the county in the past few days.

"Many people in the county have caught a cold, but it also feels like a fever. The waiters and the guys in the kitchen went home because their family members were sick. Anyway, there was no business these days.

Dejitang's medicine has been out of stock since yesterday. It is very difficult for ordinary people to buy medicine."

After listening to Jia Anqing's analysis, Xu Wenyan became more certain that he had seized the right opportunity. If he wanted to do business in the future, he had to wait until the flu was over.

"Brother Chen, I'm going to the county magistrate's mansion. You wait for me here." Xu Wenyan went there directly, carrying a basket of medicinal herbs.

The most efficient and safest way now is to find County Magistrate Cheng directly and sell these medicinal materials to him, who will then sell them through the government.

Although he would earn less money by doing this, the money would come quickly and steadily. Most importantly, he could use this opportunity to make the county magistrate owe him something.

Xiao Hu and his men were in charge of guarding the gate today, and it didn't take much effort for Xu Wenyan to meet County Magistrate Cheng.

This little fat boy looks a little more haggard than before, but only a little, that's all.

"Brother Xu, what do you want from an old man like me?" County Magistrate Cheng was sitting at the table in the main hall, reading a booklet in his hand.

Xu Wenyan smiled and said, "I have business to discuss with County Magistrate Cheng, don't I?

"Business? Brother Xu thinks too highly of me. This is the county government office, how can I do business?" County Magistrate Cheng smiled, his eyes still looking at the booklet in his hand.

"County Magistrate Cheng, I have also heard about the situation in the county. You should have also heard from Captain Wang that I know a little bit of medical skills. It just so happens that I have this medicine for treating colds, and I have quite a bit."

Hearing this, County Magistrate Cheng finally put down the book in his hand and said, "Oh? What's this, Brother Xu?"

Xu Wenyan laughed twice: "Of course, it's to help County Magistrate Cheng solve his problems."

After showing the herbs in the basket to County Magistrate Cheng, the two of them sat down again to discuss the business.

This disease was brought by heavy rain. Famous doctors in various counties have diagnosed it. This disease is highly contagious, but it is not difficult to treat. If it is delayed, it may be life-threatening.

All counties are short of medicine now. If Feng County, which he manages, suffers heavy casualties, he, as the county magistrate, may be criticized by his superiors.

If this matter is handled well, not to mention promotion, the monthly salary will definitely be raised.

"How much inventory does Brother Xu have?"

"County Magistrate Cheng, this is not too much, a total of more than a hundred kilograms is enough."

County Magistrate Cheng thought for a while and shook his head slightly: "This 100 kilograms seems a little too little."

"If County Magistrate Cheng is willing to cooperate, you can sell these 100 kilograms first. The medicinal resources in this mountain are quite good." Xu Wenyan also knew that if he wanted to collect these Chinese medicines on a large scale, he had to use capital to start.

Seeing the old man walking back and forth in the main hall, Xu Wenyan knew that it was basically done, and it was time to press on and take advantage of the situation.

"County Magistrate Cheng, I heard that the situation in Shizhou doesn't seem to be ideal."

"Alas." County Magistrate Cheng sat down, took a sip of strong tea and said, "Let alone the continents, all counties have begun to close down, saying that they will wait until the disease improves.

Brother Xu, I have agreed to your business, but I need at least a few hundred kilograms. It would be a shame if our government only put in such a small amount of medicine."

Xu Wenyan smiled and nodded: "Hehe, County Magistrate Cheng, I will give you this hundred kilograms of medicine tomorrow, but I need manpower to do this, and if I need manpower, I will naturally have to pay for it."

"You kid, wait for me here." County Magistrate Cheng regained his usual kind expression and allocated thirty taels of silver to Xu Wenyan. It's not that the medicinal materials are not valuable, but the price of these medicinal materials for treating colds is on the low side.

The prescription contains precious medicinal materials but not much. Xu Wenyan has to ask the county doctor to re-prepare these medicines, so the price is naturally so.

Moreover, this price is higher than usual, and County Magistrate Cheng also knows what the current situation is.

Xu Wenyan not only got the silver, but also got a pass to facilitate future transportation.

When walking back, Xu Wenyan took a look at Wuzhou Fried Rice. The beautiful waitress inside was talking to the shopkeeper who had become a little fat.

This family is really miserable. Although they had such a good idea, they encountered this incident.

No one goes out now, and your store has only been open for a few days. Even if you put poppy shells in it, the effect will not be that good if you don't take it regularly.

In the early stages, everyone endured it as long as they could.

As for the three big turtles, Xu Wenyan gave one to Jia Anqing.

After all, I have been occupying his tavern for many years, which makes me feel a little embarrassed.

The other two will naturally be sold to his loyal customers.
