In the afternoon, I continued copying books at Dengke Bookshop.
It wasn't until he finished writing the sixth volume of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio that Lu Fang took his horse and left, returning to Ningyuan County.
It was almost evening when we arrived in Ningyuan County.
The heavy rain still didn't stop.
Ten miles outside Ningyuan County, the water on the official road has covered most of the horse's legs.
This weather is definitely abnormal.
Lu Fang increasingly felt that there was a possibility of a flood in Ningyuan County.
I don't know if Lu Liang took his words to heart. After leading the horse into the city, he thought about it and went directly to the county government office.
At this time, the county government had suspended its office, and Lu Fang went directly to Luliang's yard to find him.
Lu Liang stayed in his room, looking down at something.
Seeing Lu Fang, who was all wet, he said in shock: "What are you..."
Lu Fang said: "I went to Tanzhou and just came back."
Then he asked: "How are you doing with flood control? When I just came back, the water in some places was almost up to my knees."
Lu Liang said: "Don't worry, I have already expressed my anger with the heads of each township. Let them quickly persuade the people who live at the foot of the mountain to move to other homes."
Lu Fang frowned when he heard this, "That's it?"
Lu Liang said: "I also asked the Yamen to prepare five thousand kilograms of grain, ready to help the people affected by the disaster at any time."
Lu Fang thought for a while and asked: "How many households are there in Ningyuan County? How many people are there?"
Lu Liang replied: "There are close to 2,000 households in the county town. Outside the county town, there are about 5,300 households. There must be more than 40,000 people."
Just these people.
As for Ningyuan County, which is located within Dayuchao County, the situation is already relatively good.
In this era, there were originally sparsely populated areas.
Lu Fang frowned and said: "There are more than 40,000 people. If a flood really breaks out, your five thousand kilograms of grain will not be enough to eat. I think you have to prepare at least fifty thousand kilograms of grain. In addition, you have to prepare food around the county.
Set up temporary shelters on higher ground to prevent all victims from flooding into the city."
Lu Liang looked strange, "Are you so sure that there will be a flood?"
Lu Fang said: "Feeling."
Lu Liang shook his head helplessly, "This year's rainy season is indeed abnormal. However, the county government cannot afford so much money."
Lu Fang said: "Didn't I ask you to go find Wang Ye and the others?"
Lu Liang glared, "Those guys are all tough guys. Even if I lose my face and go to them, how much money can they get?"
Lu Fang smashed his words and said, "I'll figure out a way to deal with the money. You can summon the craftsmen tomorrow to find a place to build temporary shelters. By the way, you have to communicate with those rice merchants to prevent floods from breaking out. They
Take this opportunity to drive up rice prices."
Lu Liang nodded blankly.
Lu Fang turned around and went out.
"This kid...why is he suddenly so concerned about other people's lives..."
Lu Liang was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. He murmured something, chuckled and shook his head, then lowered his head to look at the documents.
…
Lu Fang returned to Bestore.
Chen Youxi, Zhu'er, and Fu'er have already had their meal. Bestore is also preparing to close.
Lu Fang could only help himself with a few braised eggs and a bowl of instant noodles.
He did not sell instant noodles in BESTORE.
This fragrance attracted Chen Youxi, Zhu'er, and Fu'er to the dining room.
"Master, what are you eating? It smells so good..."
Fu'er's pretty little nose twitched, her eyes shining brightly as she stared at the rice bowl in front of Lu Fang.
Lu Fang said: "Noodles. Noodles brought by overseas businessmen."
"Why does it smell so good?"
Fu'er walked to Lu Fang's side and looked at Master Tang's Happy Bucket Beef Noodles with oily flowers floating in the bowl. She actually started to swallow her saliva.
Lu Fang suddenly felt dumbfounded. He took out three packs of beef noodles from his pocket and put them on the table. He said to Fu'er, "Go and boil some water. You all should try it too."
Fu'er's eyes shone and she hurriedly ran outside.
Zhu'er and Chen Youxi looked at the instant noodles wrapped in oil paper with great interest.
As for Lu Fang taking something out of his empty pocket again, they were already used to it.
Lu Fang slowly opened the oil paper bag, which contained instant noodles and seasonings. The seasonings were also wrapped in oil paper.
These days, instant noodles are definitely a delicacy. Not even those restaurant chefs can make something with this taste.
"This is an oil bun, this is beef, and this is a seasoning bun, which is made from a mixture of many kinds of seasonings."
Lu Fang showed packets of seasonings to Chen Youxi and Zhuer.
Chen Youxi and Zhu'er smelled the fragrance in the air and looked a little surprised.
Then Chen Youxi said: "Why don't you buy some of these noodles and sell them in your shop?"
Lu Fang said: "They just brought this here. Just take a few packs and taste them first. If they taste good, I will buy some and sell them in the shop."
Chen Youxi nodded, "Just because of the fragrance, the taste shouldn't be too bad."
After a while, Fu'er came over carrying a kettle.
Lu Fang asked her to get the bowl again.
She then ran towards the kitchen obediently.
This girl is always very positive when she has something to eat.
Later, Lu Fang showed them how to make instant noodles.
The aroma that filled the dining room suddenly became stronger.
The taste of the beef bucket was beyond Chen Youxi, Zhu'er, and Fu'er's expectations. Even though they had just eaten, they quickly ate all the instant noodles in their bowls.
Fuli even drank all the soup.
Then each belly swelled slightly.
Lu Fang almost couldn't help laughing when he looked at it.
If this continues, I'm afraid even Chen Youxi and Zhu'er will have to be trained into foodies by themselves.
night.
Lu Fang and Chen Youxi massaged the tendons and dampened the pulse to promote digestion.
The two girls, Zhu'er and Fu'er, were kept awake by some kind of suppressed sound that came from time to time in the room.
"ah!"
Fu'er covered her head and sat up suddenly, pouted and said to Zhu'er: "Sister Zhu'er, what are the young master and sister Youxi doing? Why are they so noisy every night?"
Zhu'er's face turned red, "You, you really want to know?"
Fu'er blinked, "Can't I know?"
Zhu'er pursed her lips, sat up, and then whispered a few words into Fu'er's ear.
Fu'er's pretty face turned red instantly, she covered her ears and lay down, "Young Master is really bad..."
