Chapter 775 Bran

It is often said that people can be poor but not without ambition.

But Li Chengxi is not like that.

He enjoys life very much. As long as his current life makes him satisfied, he will definitely not try to climb up. This is why since he graduated from college and came back to open a convenience store, Li Chengxi has never considered expanding his business or using his savings to start a business.

There is no need, and there is no need.

Now, Li Chengxi does not need the income from the convenience store at all. It can even be said very decadently that as long as he sells a bottle of disease removal potion from time to time, he does not need to work in this life.

Oh yes, God is immortal.

But no matter what, Li Chengxi does not expect the convenience store to survive now, but it has become a troublesome burden for him.

But to close the store and rent it out...

Li Chengxi is still a little reluctant.

People are nostalgic, and Li Chengxi is of course no exception. Besides, it has been open for so many years, and it is really hard to close it suddenly.

So after weighing the pros and cons, Li Chengxi chose to hire someone to look after the store. He doesn't care how much he earns, as long as he can keep it going.

If I feel like it in the future, I can always go back to be a convenience store owner.

This is like many retired elderly people who have a monthly pension of several thousand yuan, but still work as doormen. They are not short of money, but they just don't want to be idle.

Li Chengxi now feels like he has entered retirement life, so let it be.

The second floor of the convenience store is where he lives. Li Chengxi took the time to go back and clear the second floor. He sold all the furniture at a low price, packed up all the useful things, and asked the moving company to send them to the villa, and then locked the second floor.

Don't say, this cleaning made Li Chengxi find a lot of forgotten things, such as game cards when he was a child, and love letters that he wrote but didn't send out in junior high school.

Find someone to open a store and give employees a simple training. It sounds troublesome, but it's actually okay to do it. After all, convenience stores don't require any technical jobs, and they can be explained clearly in a few words.

In the future, Li Chengxi only needs to reconcile the accounts every few days to confirm that the employees have not embezzled.

It feels good to be a hands-off boss, but before that, Li Chengxi needs to unpack and organize the packages, which will probably take a lot of time.

I checked Viola's side in the morning, and there was still nothing going on. Alyssa was still preparing. The only thing I was a little worried about was Yang Yiyi.

Because Yang Yiyi had left Qi Jue Men and continued to help Ning Xian'er deliver letters with Wu Shaoyi, I was a little worried that she would get into trouble halfway.

But on second thought, at most I would not pay attention to it for a day, so it shouldn't be a big deal... right?

Da Yongli

1155, early August.

Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi walked along the official road.

The two stayed in Qi Jue Men for only one day, and said goodbye to Zhou Wenyi the next day.

Zhou Wenyi knew that Yang Yiyi's delivery of the letter was a big deal, and he actually wanted to go with her to take care of her.

But you, an elder of Qi Jue Men, walking with two little girls, isn't it a bit strange?

Coming to Qi Jue Men can be said to be on the way, and going together is a bit of a cover-up.

The same is true for sending disciples to help. No one knew that Yang Yiyi helped Ning Xianer deliver the letter. This is simply a problem written on her face.

So after leaving Qi Jue Men, it became a two-person team of Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi.

But before the two left, Zhou Wenyi gave Yang Yiyi a secret book.

It is not about kung fu, but Zhou Wenyi's experience in using double guns for many years. Because he saw Yang Yiyi using double maces, both of them are dual-wielding weapons, and many places are common, so he gave her his experience for reference only.

Zhou Wenyi is very optimistic about Yang Yiyi. In fact, he wanted to give her a real martial arts secret book, but the rules of Qi Jue Men are extremely strict. Even the elders cannot teach outsiders kung fu casually.

Before leaving, in addition to the experience, he also gave some precious medicinal materials and elixirs so that Yang Yiyi can prepare them on the road.

After all, Yang Yiyi and the others saved Zhou Wenyi's life, so it would be unreasonable not to thank them properly.

After leaving Qi Juemen, Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi followed the official road to the northeast. The next stop was Qinghe Lake on the northern edge of Yuezhou State, or more precisely, a sect called Taohuawu on the lake.

This sect is very low-key and rarely participates in major martial arts events. Many people don't even know that it is a sect.

But since there is a letter to them, it means that the power of this sect must be great.

Yang Yiyi was also a little bit looking forward to it, because Wu Shaoyi said that this sect is surrounded by ten miles of peach blossoms, and now is a good season to see peach blossoms.

Along the way, the two mainly walked, and from time to time there were passing merchant convoys and they could hitchhike. After walking for almost ten days, the two finally came to a fairly large town.

This place is called Dingshui. It is a small town, but it has a dry bed and a warm kang. Find an inn to have a good meal, take a bath and have a good sleep. This is what the two people who have been camping for ten days want most.

Walking down the hillside, Qingyuan Town is already within reach, and the words engraved on the city gate can be clearly seen.

But at the same time, a group of refugees also appeared in front of them.

It is estimated that there are about a thousand people gathered in the simple shed outside the city gate. Yang Yiyi didn't really care about this at first. After all, there are refugees at the gates of many towns encountered along the way.

But the porridge shed with fixed water was placed next to the city gate, and the sergeant was responsible for maintaining order. When entering the city, Yang Yiyi would inevitably see the situation in the porridge shed.

"What they cooked doesn't look like rice, why does it look like bran?"

There are strict requirements for cooking porridge for disaster relief.

It is required that when the porridge is ready, it cannot be poured over with chopsticks inserted. If the chopsticks fall over, the person who cooked the porridge will be beheaded.

After all, it is disaster relief food. If something goes wrong, the victims will instantly turn into a mob. The emperors are very concerned about this.

However, the porridge shed in Dingshui actually cooked bran for the victims, which is usually fed to chickens and pigs.

It doesn’t matter whether you feed the victims old rice or new rice. It’s not impossible to eat bran. The bran is actually the outer layer of rice, but bran is not. It is the soft shell that surrounds the grain.

How is it okay to feed people bran?

Yang Yiyi's character was so easy to deal with, she exploded on the spot, and immediately wanted to go up and argue with the sergeant.

"Sister Yang, don't be impulsive. You might have something hidden."

Wu Shaoyi quickly grabbed Yang Yiyi who was about to light the fire:

"Perhaps there is not enough food for disaster relief, so we have to take this step. Sister Yang, you may get into trouble if you are so impulsive."

After Yang Yiyi heard the explanation, she thought about it, it was really possible.

Along the way, they have seen many victims of the disaster. It is said that there are as many as one hundred thousand people affected by the disaster. With so many mouths open, no matter how hard the court works to allocate relief food, there will always be a shortage of food.

It's good if you have a stutter, but it doesn't matter whether you have gluten or not. You can't just stop feeding people if you don't have enough food.

In fact, considering that Tang Lianyu specially purchased some grain and transported it to the disaster area, we know that the court's disaster relief grain is indeed not enough, and feeding people bran is only a temporary measure.

Impulsiveness can lead to wrongly blaming a good person, Yang Yiyi also realized it, but she kept it in mind and took this matter seriously, and would inquire later after entering the city.
