Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

The next day, those people woke up feeling a little dizzy.

The hangover from the night before caused them to get up much later. When they left the yard, only Father Liu was there counting the ingredients.

Seeing the people coming out, Father Liu did not stop what he was doing. He just took a look and then went back to work: "Get up, clean up, the millet porridge is warm in the kitchen. Eat something light to nourish your stomach after you get drunk."

"Thank you, Uncle Liu!"

"Uncle Liu, are Brother Lin and the others busy in the shop? Is there anything we can help with? Everyone is free today, so I'm really sorry to bother Uncle Liu during this period of time."

"What's the trouble? You've also paid for food and lodging!"

Chen Ziqi and his friends paid money to move in, but compared to the food they eat, the money they paid was indeed not enough.

Later, after discussion, they also wanted to make up for it a little, but were rejected by Liu's father.

After Liu's father counted the vegetarian and meat dishes collected in the morning, he began to prepare to clean the pig offal.

Chen Ziqi and his companions finished their porridge in the pot with this side dish and a multi-grain steamed bun, and their stomachs instantly felt better.

Seeing Liu's father busying himself, they all hurried over to help.

Father Liu was not polite and assigned tasks to the group. Strength lies in numbers, and the work that was supposed to take a whole morning was completed in half an hour.

"Okay, we've packed up. We'll do it this afternoon when Caixia comes back. You'll be leaving tomorrow, so we still have time. Let's go shopping in the city. We can buy some things for our families, and also make arrangements for the returning caravan."

Chen Ziqi: "We have already booked the Suzhou caravan. The return time is also set. There shouldn't be any problems. We can go for a walk around the city. We haven't had a good time since we came here."

"Yes, yes. We stayed in the inn every day after we came here. Later, we moved here and strolled around the main street. We can go out for a walk today if we have time. I saw that there are special cakes here that can be kept for a few days. I will bring them back for my family to try."

The ones who said this were the Shi brothers. The two brothers had a pretty good relationship with their family. Although they didn't have much money, they could still squeeze in some money and bring some pastries back for their family to try.

"Okay, let's go out for a walk. I'll also bring some things back for my daughter. She's getting married soon, and as a father, I really haven't prepared anything for her."

Father Liu saw that Li Yao and Wei Songbai were still working over there. In fact, the braised meat had been prepared, and there were not many vegetarian dishes. It was just that Liu Caixia recently added pickled cucumbers and bought a lot of cucumbers.

"Li Yao, Song Bai, the two of you stop working on it. The cucumbers will be ready in a moment. Come with us for a walk!"

"Okay, Uncle Liu, it will be ready soon!" The cucumbers were washed, cut into strips and marinated with coarse salt.

After going out, Wan Tongsheng walked with Shi Sheng intentionally or unintentionally.

He just mentioned his daughter and he also had some thoughts.

Since he met this group of four people, Wan Tongsheng had some ideas about Shi Sheng after understanding the basic situation.

He lives with his grandparents without parents. His grandparents are very good to this eldest grandson, and the two rooms in the family are separated.

If I marry my daughter to Shi Sheng, she will be able to be the head of the family after my grandparents pass away.

Although it may seem a bit unfilial to think this way, birth, aging, sickness and death are part of human nature.

But Shi Sheng is nineteen years old this year, and he is not young anymore. If he fails the exam this time, and he passes, he will be the one who takes the lead in the marriage. If he fails and Shi Sheng passes, the situation will be reversed. If both of them pass the exam, they will be considered a good match.

With this mood, Wan Tongsheng had more contact with Shi Sheng along the way.

No one else noticed it, but Father Liu did notice a little, but it was none of his business.

After shopping, everyone bought something.

Today's business is better than yesterday. Liu Caixia and Lin Weizhong have prepared twice the quantity, and it was all sold out at noon.

No wonder, after the exam was over, the students from various counties who came to take the exam did not leave so quickly.

Since we finally come to the city, we must have some fun and go sightseeing.

Don't underestimate these people. Those who have money should buy more, and those who don't should buy less to try it out.

The pig ears and pig heads were sold out very quickly. Those people didn't know the value of the goods, and the pig intestines were all bought by old customers. When some people who had tasted the taste wanted to buy more, they were already sold out.

Some sighed: "I will leave early tomorrow morning. If I had known, I would have bought more braised meat today and brought it back to my father to go with his wine. He will be so happy."

Some were thankful: "Come early tomorrow, luckily we are scheduled to leave the day after tomorrow, and we will be out of town one day later tomorrow. Come early and buy more to take out for my classmates in the academy to taste."

Even on the way back, Liu Caixia couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that we still don't have enough ingredients prepared today. I guess business will be good tomorrow."

Lin Weizhong nodded and said, "Once we save some money, we will open another branch in Dongjie Street. It is also possible to open four stores in Fucheng."

"Yeah, I think four stores should be fine. The purchasing power of the prefecture is still greater than that of the county town."

"Of course, the number of people has increased a lot. In addition, there are merchants coming and going from the south and the north. They are not short of money, so the consumption is naturally much higher."

Different from the bustle on the street, inside the government office, the prefect and a group of examiners were busy grading test papers.

The eight examiners sat in their seats, looking at the piles of test papers with densely packed handwriting in front of them, and forced themselves to calm down.

"This year's enrollment has increased, and the number of candidates has doubled compared to previous years. It's really tough on me to grade all these papers within 15 days."

One of the older men said with a sigh.

"Mr. Wen, you are our pillar of support. If you are really tired, just take a rest. We can share the burden. Sleep less at night and we will definitely complete the task within the stipulated time."

Wen Liang drew lots with seven other people, and he drew Nanshan Prefecture.

Nanshan Prefecture is the most populous prefecture in Zhongzhou. It is located in the southernmost part of Zhongzhou and is mostly mountainous. The county towns and villages are not far apart, but the mountain roads are difficult to travel, which increases the distance.

The population of a village is not very large, so a county town is made up of many villages. The largest county town has more than thirty villages and six towns, with a total of only three thousand people. It can be seen how small the population of a village is.

This is due to the geographical location and there is nothing we can do about it.

Wen Liang drew the city with the largest population. One of his disciples sympathized with him and wanted to exchange ideas with him, but he refused.

Drawing lots is a fair and just thing. If it happens all the time, why bother claiming that it is fair and just?

However, looking at so many papers, he still underestimated his body.

I feel a little dizzy after just one day of watching it.

"It's okay, it's okay, old man. I just need to rest for a while. Although the mission is heavy, health is also important. We still need to rest properly."
