Chapter 130: The shop provides disaster relief and porridge
Everyone agreed, and the matter was settled. Lin Qingxue asked Lin Qingming to go back to the village and ask Village Chief Lin to implement the matter.
However, the rain at this moment was too heavy, and the big raindrops hit the ground with a crackling sound, splashing water.
Lin Qingming stood there, looking at the road flooded by rain, feeling helpless. He wanted to rush back to the village as soon as possible, but the downpour made it impossible for him to move forward.
At the same time, the people who stayed in the village were also worried. They were afraid that the heavy rain would affect their spring plowing and affect everyone's harvest.
Every drop of rain that fell seemed to strike hard at everyone's heartstrings, making the worry even heavier.
Despite this, facing such severe weather conditions, there is nothing we can do for the time being except to pray and wait silently.
The rainstorm lasted for three days and three nights without any sign of stopping. Lin Qingxue heard that the river outside the city had begun to overflow, many farmlands were flooded, and many people were displaced and had no choice but to flock to the city.
The public security in the city also began to become chaotic. Some criminals took advantage of the chaos to rob shops. Lin Qingxue was anxious. She was not only worried about the business in the shops, but also worried about the safety of the workers in the shops.
Before Lin Qingxue could come up with a solution, she received a letter sent by Gu Jinxuan. It turned out that heavy rains had occurred in other places, and many houses in the villages had been washed away, and many people had also been washed away.
Gu Jinxuan was ordered to rescue people from disaster by the current emperor. Before leaving, he was worried that Lin Qingxue would be worried if he left suddenly, so he sent a letter to her.
After learning the specific content of the letter, Lin Qingxue did not dare to delay for a moment. She immediately sat down at the desk, picked up a pen and began to write a reply. Her pen strokes were light and her handwriting was beautiful, and her concern for the recipient was revealed between the lines.
After writing the reply, Lin Qingxue hurried to the cabinet and took out several bottles of meat sauce that she had carefully prepared a few days ago. These meat sauces were made by her with a lot of thought and time, and they tasted mellow and delicious.
She carefully wrapped up the bottles of meat sauce and handed them to the messenger, repeatedly reminding him to deliver them safely to Gu Jinxuan.
Watching the messenger walking away, Lin Qingxue felt a little relieved and hoped that Gu Jinxuan would have a safe journey.
However, when she turned and looked out the window, she couldn't help but think of the poor villagers near the imperial city who had suffered from the disaster, as well as the homeless and starving victims in the city. Their plight was truly heartbreaking.
After careful consideration, Lin Qingxue resolutely made a decision - to temporarily close her shop for a few days.
Although this will result in some loss of business, what does this little profit matter compared to saving those people who are in dire straits?
So, Lin Qingxue braved the heavy rain and took Lin Qingming to the food restaurant in Dongcheng. She quickly gathered the shop assistants, explained her idea to them, and arranged all the matters related to the subsequent porridge distribution.
After hearing the news, everyone expressed their willingness to fully support Lin Qingxue's good deeds. Compared with her, these workers were better able to face the chaos brought about by the rainstorm.
In this way, under the leadership of Lin Qingxue, everyone worked together to prepare for the porridge distribution. Every shop had a kitchen stove, so they only had to cook the porridge in the kitchen, put it in a large wooden barrel, and carry it to the front to distribute the porridge.
After coming out of the food building, the brother and sister went to the restaurant next door. When they arrived, Lin Qingbai was working in the kitchen. When they mentioned the idea of providing free porridge, Lin Qingbai naturally supported it.
After leaving the neighboring restaurant, they went to the milk tea shop and the Xicheng branch of the Food House, told them about the porridge distribution, and asked them to prepare to close the business. Then the two of them went to prepare rice and sweet potatoes.
The porridge used for disaster relief will definitely not be thick rice porridge, and adding sweet potatoes is a must.
After a stroll, Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingming inspected the situation on the street. The water on the road was very deep, and there were people hiding from the rain under the eaves of almost all shops. All of those people were dressed in rags.
"Brother, let's go back home first. It's inconvenient for me to take out food with someone following us," Lin Qingxue whispered in Lin Qingming's ear. She was afraid that if her voice was too loud, the coachman outside would hear it.
"Okay, you and I will come out later," Lin Qingming said in a low voice. The matter of the space must not be leaked out, otherwise the family will not be able to cover it up.
The brother and sister agreed and went straight home. When they got home, they told Old Man Lin and the others that they needed to prepare food, then went to the backyard and returned to their room.
In Lin Qingxue's room, she pulled Lin Qingming into the space and looked at the thriving green vegetable garden and grain field. The joy in her heart was self-evident.
"Brother, we still have 3,000 kilograms of rice and 5,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes left. How do you think we're going to distribute them among the four shops? The newly planted crops in the fields won't be harvested for a few more days."
Lin Qingxue looked towards the grain field and said with a smile that although there was not much grain on hand, the grain in the field could be harvested soon, and they would have no shortage of grain to reward the villagers.
"As for rice, each of the four shops should get 600 kilograms, and each of the sweet potatoes should get 1,000 kilograms. The remaining food should be kept for future use!"
Lin Qingming thought about it and realized that there was enough food at home and the next batch of food could be harvested soon, but farmers would never complain about having too much food!
"Okay," Lin Qingxue thought about it for a moment and agreed.
After discussing it, the brother and sister started to load the food. It took them only an hour to finish. Due to the continuous heavy rain, the sky outside was dark. If it weren't for the fact that they had to deliver the food to the shop, Lin Qingxue and the others really didn't want to go out.
Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingming did not let the coachman follow them and drove the carriage directly towards Dongcheng Food House. They had to deliver the food to the shop quickly and process it today, otherwise they would not be able to use it tomorrow.
In the carriage, Lin Qingxue carefully took out the packed food from the space and piled it in the corner of the carriage, trying to avoid being noticed by others. The carriage moved slowly forward in the rain, and the wheels splashed water.
Finally, they arrived at the Dongcheng Food Restaurant. They saw a group of waiters waiting in front of the restaurant for a long time. When they saw the carriage of Lin Qingxue and his sister slowly approaching from afar, they immediately showed joy on their faces and hurried forward to greet them.
When they got closer, the guys worked together without saying a word to unload the heavy bags of grain from the carriage.
Lin Qingxue stood aside, directing everyone in an orderly manner. Her clear and loud voice echoed through the crowd: "Be careful! Don't damage the bags! ... This way, move all the food to the large storage room next to the kitchen!"
