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

Father Liu sat on the side collecting money, the waiter was cutting braised meat for the customers, Liu Caixia was making multi-grain steamed buns and meat-filled steamed buns, and Lin Weizhong was helping to pack for the customers.

"came back!"

Father Liu saw someone from afar and stood up suddenly.

"I hit it, I hit it!"

Seeing Lin Weizhong also looking at them, Luo Hong was embarrassed but still told the truth, "Except Ke Yu, we all got it!"

Lin Weizhong looked at his son who was still eating. As long as he was okay, it was okay. As an old father, he was confident in his son's mental quality. He didn't look unhappy, shocked or depressed at all.

Good!

"Dad, I will try my best!"

"Well, son, I believe you!"

As noon approached, the business in the store became better and better. In addition to old customers, there were also many new customers coming to try out the new food.

As the braised meat tasted good, a long line gradually formed at the door.

"More and more people are coming. Lao Luo, take someone out first and order some food for them. We'll also speed up the production inside. There's not much left, so we want to prevent the customers behind from queuing for a long time and not being able to buy anything. Calculate the number of customers who can't buy anything and let them not queue up. If they are still in the city tomorrow, let them come early tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll take Ke Yu with me."

Lin Keyu couldn't help much here as there were already a lot of people here today.

"How about I go back and clean up tomorrow's ingredients? I can handle it here!" Liu Caixia saw that the store was full of men, and there was no point in having so many people standing behind the counter. She was making roujiamo there before. Now Wei Songbai was doing it, and Li Yao could only help. Now he asked Luo Hong and Lin Keyu to go out and take orders from the people in line. Liu's father and Lin Weizhong didn't have much to do, so they were there helping to weigh the meat, cut the meat and pack it.

Father Liu saw that there were indeed a lot of people, so he arranged: "Weizhong, you and Caixia go back and clean up first. Come back and help us after we finish selling here."

"Fine!"

"Brother Lin, I'll go back with you. Songbai can handle this alone."

"Okay, let's go back and make lunch first and then eat when they finish their work here."

After the results were announced, Liu's father and Luo Hong began to discuss their next itinerary.

After dinner, the family sat down to discuss the matter.

"Luo Hong, don't go back. Calculating the time, you will have to go to Zhongzhou Prefecture to take the next exam in less than three months. It is much closer from here. During this time, you three should review your lessons here, and leave for Zhongzhou Prefecture when the time is almost up."

"Okay, I also wanted to go back before, and then go directly to Zhongzhou Prefecture. Thinking about it, it is indeed not cost-effective. It is more convenient and faster to go from here. Renyi, can you go back to the county town by yourself?"

"I've already made up my mind. I'll go back by boat. Although it's against the flow, there are many people on the boat. Unless we encounter pirates, it's still safer than going by land."

"Dad, why don't you not go back?" Liu Caixia was not very reassured about her old father going back alone.

But I also know that Liu's father is worried about the situation at home. Even after they got older, Liu's father and mother have never been separated for such a long time. The old couple always go together wherever they go.

"I have to go back anyway. I originally wanted to go to Zhongzhou Prefecture to take a look, but now it's better not to take too big a step. I won't go for now. I'll go back to the county town and the village. I'm worried about the chickens and piglets at home. I estimate that a batch of chickens will be available in July, and if the piglets grow well, we can also have batches one after another. I'll save up more money first. I'm also thinking of distributing dividends to everyone at the end of the year, and then buying a bigger farm as our base in the county town. Then we'll develop in the prefecture town, and go to Zhongzhou Prefecture when the time is right. As for the rest, let's not talk about it for now."

"Yes, Uncle Liu is right. We have been living together for the past year. After things have become stable, it would be better to give everyone separate households."

After everyone discussed it, they decided that Liu's father would go back by boat alone, while Luo Hong would stay in the city with Li Yao and Wei Songbai to prepare for the next exam, and also arrange Lin Keyu's studies.

Lin Weizhong and Liu Caixia took a little kid to do business.

The next afternoon, Liu's father went to the dock to buy a boat ticket. He had inquired about this before. Merchant ships usually set out in the morning and dock at the dock in the afternoon. They docked overnight and set out again early the next morning. This was a long-distance merchant ship. There were short-distance small boats every day.

Father Liu wanted to take a boat directly to Shanqing County, so he could only find a ship from a large caravan that sailed long distances.

Moreover, this kind of boat is definitely safer than a small boat.

It was not until Liu's father got on board that he learned that this merchant ship was jointly owned by the Su family and the Wan family. The two families now jointly operated several large ships in the provincial capital, specializing in river transportation within Zhongzhou.

Father Liu bought a first-class ticket, which not only provided him with a bed, but also allowed him to walk around the ship. You know, there are some places that ordinary passengers cannot enter.

So, after he got on the boat, he walked around and looked around, and couldn't help but sigh: this is the so-called power of capital.

On the boat, Liu's father also made friends with several merchants of similar age.

Because transportation was not well developed at that time and communication was even more inconvenient, they left each other their approximate addresses and then parted ways.

I can only sigh that we will meet again if we are destined to!

Three days later, Father Liu finally arrived safely at the small pier in Shanqing County. Because it was a small pier, the large ship only docked for half an hour before leaving.

After saying goodbye to a few old friends, Father Liu rushed to the city gate and found a ox cart to return to the village.

He was lucky as he happened to catch the ox cart returning to Xiushui Village. The driver, Uncle Wan, recognized him when Liu's father came over.

"Brother Liu, are you going back to the village?"

Uncle Wan called Liu's father "brother" because he was only 48 years old, ten years younger than Liu's father. At first, he thought Liu's father was only in his forties, but later he found out that Liu was ten years older than him, and he couldn't help but sigh that he lived a good life and didn't look old at all.

"Uncle Wan, I just came back from the city, and I went straight back to the village with you, just in time. Otherwise, I would have to stay in the county town for one night."

"Zhang Ge'er has been back for a long time. We all thought you would never come back to the capital city!"

"This is our home. I will definitely come back. Young people should go out and explore the world. We old people should just stay at home and take care of the house."

"Hahaha, yeah yeah."

Uncle Wan was thinking, we are the native villagers, don't you know where you came from? And you are still guarding the house! But it didn't stop him from agreeing. After all, their family came to the village, and the villagers benefited a lot.

"We're leaving soon, hold on tight!"

"Xu..."

Uncle Wan took the whip and tapped the cow's butt gently, and the old cow obediently walked forward.
