Wang Yuyan was a little surprised, "Do you have this kind of seasoning?"
"Yes, there are quite a few." He Yunxi said.
Wang Yuyan was even more surprised. This red chili sauce is the Yuan family's current secret weapon and is not sold to outsiders at all. They only got the red chili sauce because of their good relationship with the Yuan family.
How could He Yunxi be there?
Based on her understanding of He Yunxi, she is not the kind of person who pretends to be fat.
He Yunxi saw her confusion and smiled: "Sister Wang, did you buy this red chili sauce at Yuan's house?"
"Yes, you really know!" Wang Yuyan said, "The Yuan family doesn't sell this to outsiders, but my husband likes to eat it, so we got some through the relationship between the two families. Did you buy it from the Yuan family too?"
"no."
Wang Yuyan said that Yuan Hewen said before that he didn't sell to anyone, but only gave some to them.
Before she could finish her thoughts, she heard He Yunxi continue: "Young Master Yuan bought it from me."
Wang Yuyan opened her eyes wide: "Did you sell this red chili sauce to the Yuan family?"
"Yes, I made this." He Yunxi responded, "So, if you still want it after eating it, just tell me."
"Yunxi, you are so amazing!" Wang Yuyan exclaimed, "If my husband knew about it, he would definitely be happy to death. He is so happy now that he just eats it with rice."
"What are you talking about, madam, that will make your husband happy to death?" Luo Zixuan came in from outside, and He Yunxi stood up and saluted him.
After several contacts, Luo Zixuan now no longer kneels to her, which is a good improvement.
Wang Yuyan also stood up and said with a smile: "We are talking about this red chili sauce. Weren't you lamenting a few days ago that there is too little red chili sauce and it will be gone in a short time. What will you do when you eat later? I just learned that this
The red chili sauce is made by Yunxi."
Luo Zixuan looked at He Yunxi in surprise: "Oh? Did you make this red chili sauce?"
"Yes."
"I thought this was the work of that boy Hevin!"
"The Yuan family bought it from me. But I only sold it to him, so others don't know it was made by me." He Yunxi said, "Master Luo likes this so much that he will send someone to my house to get it after eating it.
Already."
"How is this possible?" Luo Zixuan refused seriously, "Anyway, it's impossible to take it, but if you are willing to sell some to us, that would be great."
As a parent official, how could he directly take things from the people?
He Yunxi understood, nodded and said: "Of course I want to settle the money with you."
Luo Zixuan laughed: "Hahaha, okay, I'll see you later."
"good."
Luo Zixuan added: "This red chili sauce is good, but it's not suitable for eating directly with rice."
He Yunxi twitched the corners of his lips slightly, he really wanted to mix the rice directly!
"This red chili sauce is not suitable for mixing with rice directly, but I can make a chili sauce that can be mixed with rice. That kind of sauce is more delicious than this red chili sauce," He Yunxi said.
Luo Zixuan was curious: "Oh? And this kind of hot sauce?"
"Yes. But I haven't made it yet, so I can't give it to you to taste now." He Yunxi said, "When it is finished in a few days, I will bring some for you and Sister Wang."
"Thank you very much!" Wang Yuyan responded.
Luo Zixuan did not expect Wang Yuyan to directly agree. It seems that she and He Yunxi have a really good relationship.
Only those with better relationships will be less polite.
Thinking of business, Luo Zixuan asked He Yunxi: "What do you want to see me for?"
"Sir, I don't know what to say about this matter," He Yunxi said. "This matter may seem unfounded, but I can't ignore it now that I know it."
Luo Zixuan saw her expression suddenly become serious and guessed that what she was going to say was definitely not an ordinary thing.
"You all go down." He ordered the maids in the room.
When the maid went down, he said to He Yunxi: "Tell me what happened."
He Yunxi looked at Luo Zixuan and said: "My husband-in-law met a wandering Taoist priest before. The Taoist priest said that this year will be a cold winter that only happens once in fifty years."
Wang Yuyan whispered: "A cold winter that only happens once in fifty years? How cold is it?"
"I don't know how cold it will be, but I remember that five years ago, many people in those villages froze to death in the cold winter that only happens once in twenty years." He Yunxi said, "Not to mention fifty years, it was like this
In the cold winter five years ago, many people died."
Needless to say, He Yunxi also knew what it would be like in the cold winter.
Moreover, he also knew about the cold winter in Luohe Prefecture five years ago. He was still in the Hanlin Academy at that time and heard that thousands of people died in Luohe Prefecture in one winter.
If what the wandering Taoist priest said is true...
"Mr. Sir, speaking of which, I also heard from some people below. We first arrived here and didn't know much about the climate here, but two old men below were saying that it seems to be colder these days than in previous years." Wang Yuyan
said.
Luo Zixuan was silent for a moment and said, "Thank you for reminding me, I will make preparations in advance."
"I wonder if you have a way to deal with it?" He Yunxi asked.
"We can only prepare some winter clothes and food in advance." Luo Zixuan said.
In the past, this was the only kind of relief provided for cold disasters.
"How many people are there in the county and how many winter clothes are needed? What if there is no cold disaster? What about the prepared winter clothes? If we wait until the cold winter comes to prepare, can the poor people afford to wait?" He Yunxi asked.
If you want to avoid death from the cold, everyone must have winter clothes. A cotton-padded coat costs three hundred taels of silver, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in the county. Even if one person has a cotton-padded coat, the total cost for everyone is at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.
.
Such a large expenditure is not something a county government can afford now.
It is even more impossible to apply for disaster relief funds. Now that there is no cold disaster, where is the need for relief? Do you want to embezzle money? By then, you will not be able to explain it clearly.
And wait until the real cold disaster comes before applying for disaster relief. By the time the disaster relief is implemented, we don’t know how many people will die. Moreover, you can’t apply for disaster relief unless people die and houses don’t collapse.
Luo Zixuan understands this matter.
What surprised him was that a woman named He Yunxi also understood.
Seeing her like this... his expression changed: "Do you have a solution?"
"I did think of a way, but I can't implement it. The county government needs to come forward." He Yunxi said.
"What can you do?"
"Make a kang."
"Kang?" Luo Zixuan thought that He Yunxi would get along well, so he shook his head subconsciously after hearing this, "Are you talking about the kang in the north? I know this thing, but the cost of a kang is too high. You can't make it without three or four taels of silver.
come out."
"The kang I'm talking about is not the expensive kind." He Yunxi said, "I know a simple method. I have tried it. It is very warm and the cost is not high."
