Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

Ma Laoer saw that Doctor Zhao was unwilling.

He repeated what Xia Shengsheng said to Doctor Zhao.

After hearing this, Doctor Zhao stroked his beard and nodded with a sly smile.

It turned out that Xia Shengsheng told Doctor Zhao that Mrs. Liu probably had no more money left as she had almost taken it away from her.

However, she also had a silver hairpin weighing more than one or two taels on her head, which she treasured like a treasure. If she treated them this time, she would let Old Lady Liu take the silver hairpin as a reward.

Otherwise, we won’t set the bones of Liu Lao Da and his son, and let them continue to suffer.

Although this silver hairpin is nothing special, Doctor Zhao is not short of this little money.

Old Mrs. Liu would definitely take out her beloved hairpin for her son and grandson.

However, Doctor Zhao felt relieved when he thought that the stingy, unreasonable and black-hearted old woman would feel pain for a while.

So after Ma Laoer left, when Liu Zhonghui from the Liu family came to him to treat Liu Lao Da and his son, he readily followed him.

After Xia Shengsheng brought everyone back, he first asked everyone if they had eaten lunch.

All the food ingredients were taken away by Old Lady Liu! I wonder if this will delay the feeding of such a large group of people.

"Don't worry, Sister Xia. Everyone has already eaten. I brought 15 kilograms of dark flour and 10 kilograms of white flour from home and made steamed buns for everyone. But there was no meat at home, so we only stewed cabbage and potatoes for lunch, and also made a cold dish with wild vegetables."

Xia Shengsheng nodded. She was not at home, and the other food and vegetables were locked in the inner room, so they couldn't take them.

There are chickens and rabbits at home, but no one dares to touch them when she is not at home!

"The food at noon today is not good. We have all worked hard. When we get off work in the evening, everyone should take a boiled egg home for the children at home!

Sister Ma, wait for me for a moment. Today, thanks to you for bringing out the food from home, I will pack it up right away, and Sister Ma can take it back directly!"

Naturally, Xia Shengsheng's family couldn't produce so many eggs at once.

So I could only go to Qiqi to buy some, put them little by little in the backpack, and then carry them out.

Pack the horses with both white and black flour, no more, no less.

He packed six more eggs and asked Ercheng and Ye Chao to help deliver them back.

"You can just return the grain to me, why take the eggs? I don't have to pay taxes."

Xia Shengsheng patted Ma Dada's shoulder and said, "I am sorry to trouble you this time. There are not many of them. Take them back to supplement the nutrition of your children. They are not for you. Why do you say anything about whether they should be taxed or not?

Go back now! I won’t keep you here any longer! "

After sending Ma away, Xia Shengsheng asked Widow Wei and Old Lady Zheng's daughter-in-law to stay and help cook the eggs.

After cooking and cleaning up, Xia Shengsheng asked them to take one back each.

"I'm so sorry for getting off work late today. I'll leave work at a normal time tomorrow. As long as you pack up, you can leave directly. You don't have to wait for me to come back."

Xia Shengsheng comforted the two people.

The two were still a little nervous. After all, they were the ones who made the mistake today and failed to protect the things.

They are so afraid of being fired that they dare not leave work early!

The two of them blushed with embarrassment, but they were both tongue-tied and didn't know how to start.

Xia Shengsheng knew the two people's personalities, so he patted them on the shoulders and told them to go back home with peace of mind and go to work as usual tomorrow.

People are bound to make mistakes, and we should always give them a chance to correct them.

But nothing happens again or again, never three times.

When it comes to Xia Shengsheng, it's just the first time and there's no second time.

If something similar happens again in the future.

She will never employ someone who cannot be helped again.

Only by being of one mind with her can we have long-term cooperation in the future.

The people outside have resumed work, and one or two curious people will gather together to chat for a while.

"How come Liu Laoer's family has this trick? I never knew about it before!"

"Yes, how badly was she bullied by her mother-in-law before? Who in our village doesn't know this?

I didn't expect her to be so powerful. I've never seen her speak loudly to anyone before. But now she dares to break someone's arm and jaw."

“When a woman becomes ruthless, she can be quite scary.

Stop talking, my jaw hurts."

A few people looked around and saw Xia Shengsheng who had just returned from sending someone back.

I quickly lowered my head and continued working on my task, my heart still pounding.

……

The effect of this combination of kindness and severity is quite significant.

At least later on, Old Lady Liu was bold enough to come and cause trouble a few times.

However, she was blocked outside the door by a group of people and was not even allowed to enter.

Not to mention taking anything away.

In this way, the construction of the house has been going on for more than half a month, and more than half of the project has been completed.

The wall was built a few days ago.

The height of the wall is just right, completely blocking the view from outside.

Give this small courtyard a secret space.

The house in the front yard had been built long ago. Xia Shengsheng brought a few children and simply built a few wooden boards in the front house to use as beds and temporarily live there.

The main house at the back has also been built and is now being ventilated. It will be ready for people to live in in a few days.

The wing and kitchen are not yet built.

Xia Shengsheng suddenly changed her mind.

I want to build two more west wing rooms.

There are three boys in my family now, and it would be quite crowded if they lived in one room.

Therefore, the two extra rooms can allow one child to live alone, and the other one can be temporarily used as a guest room.

Although she doesn't have many relatives now.

But who knows, it might come in handy in the future!

Therefore, the construction period for Craftsman Chen was extended by about ten days, and naturally, the wages had to be increased as well.

The people who are happiest about the extension of the construction period are the people working in the village.

Xia Shengsheng paid high wages, provided good lunch meals, and allowed them to go home every day. With such a good job, they all wanted to keep doing it.

One deep water well has been dug, and the other one will be completed in another seven or eight days.

The number of rabbits in the house has increased from two to eight. Xia Shengsheng brought back all the live rabbits he caught in the mountains to raise.

Moreover, three of them have kittens. In at most one month, Xia Shengsheng’s rabbit cage will be too full to hold them.

There are more and more rabbits.

The chickens at home were eating less and less, so Xia Shengsheng bought a nest of chicks from Ma Kui's house, which were only a little over a month old.

If you want to eat it, you have to raise it for a while.

Xia Shengsheng goes up the mountain almost every three days.

It's a precious medicinal material! I never picked it again.

Instead, I picked some common and worthless medicinal herbs.

Since Qiqi refused to accept it, Xia Shengsheng kept it for himself and asked Doctor Zhao how to prepare and preserve it, just in case it comes in handy in the future!

As the number of prey increases, Qiqi cannot eat so much game.

One time, he happened to meet Han the Hunter in the mountains.

I didn’t expect that Han the hunter would accept Xia Shengsheng’s prey and offer a pretty reasonable price.

It’s the same price that Xia Shengsheng asked at the restaurant in the provincial capital.

Xia Shengsheng asked Han the Hunter, and Han the Hunter said that he had been cooperating with a restaurant for many years, and that the price he charged for his prey was higher than the normal price.

So, he bought Xia Shengsheng's prey and sent it to the restaurant to make a profit from the difference.

Xia Shengsheng really admired Han Liehu's intelligence.

No wonder, even though Han the Hunter’s family doesn’t even have any land, their conditions are so good.

It's not just that he's good at hunting, but he's also smart.
