Chapter 395: The temperature is about to drop, and it will rain heavily

"Um···"

Shen Xiangwan did not respond immediately. He lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought. His fingers on the table tapped rhythmically. After a while, he said, "I can only give you 200,000 kilograms at most."

Although there are more and more people working in sorghum wine workshops and the amount of sorghum wine produced every day is considerable, they sell so well that there is almost no stock left. Moreover, this is the case in Jiaozhou and Mingzhou where sales are limited and not open to the public.

"Row."

After a brief confrontation, Chen Dangjia also realized that Shen Xiangwan was a person of great integrity. Since she had said 200,000, then it would not be a pound more, and it would be useless even if he talked his mouth off.

"When will Mr. Chen's people come to pick up the wine? I can also have someone give a heads up to the warehouse."

Finally it was done, Shen Xiangwan curled the corners of her lips. If possible, she didn't want to offend them. After all, Wei Chengyi was still cooperating with them, and they would continue to cooperate next year.

"Maybe in the afternoon. I don't have that many banknotes with me. I'll settle the payment when I come in the afternoon."

In fact, he came directly with a caravan, but he didn't expect that there would be so much extra stuff suddenly. Not only did he not bring enough money, but he also didn't bring enough carriages. He could only go back first. Of course, he couldn't go back with empty carriages, so he could buy a batch of sausages and bacon by the way.

"No problem. If I'm not here at the time, you can just go find Yuan Ying."

In recent months, Yuan Ying has been assisting her and Yue Ruyan in managing the workshop. She has also dealt with the caravan more than once and they are familiar with each other.

"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, I'll take my leave."

We have to go back as soon as possible to raise money, said Chen Dangjia as he stood up.

"Master Chen, take care."

"Ah."

Nodding to her again, Master Chen turned and left the Wei family. After watching his figure disappear from her sight, Shen Xiangwan let out a breath and leaned back in her chair. She knew very well that if Master Chen had not known their identities, he would not be so easy to talk to today. Moreover, it was indeed her fault to break the contract suddenly.

"Is the sorghum wine workshop really going to stop operating?"

Ji Shaohan couldn't help but wonder, why did the work suddenly stop?

"Ah."

Shen Xiangwan didn't know how to explain it to him, so she just nodded casually. This was also the reason why she had stopped the wine workshop completely early and specially assigned a hundred workers to refine alcohol.

Although still very confused, Ji Shaohan did not continue to ask. She must have her reasons for making such a decision. If they ask too much, it will only add to her troubles. Others may not know, but don't they know? Recently, she and Wei Chengyi are too tired.

As the calendar entered the second half of the month, the cabbages grown by the people in various places began to be harvested one after another. In order to prevent some people from cheating and defrauding the government of the low-priced salt, the county government directly sent people to deliver the salt to the villages, checked the people's taxes on the spot, sold the low-priced salt, and taught them how to pickle kimchi.

“Is it finally going to rain?”

Looking at the gloomy sky outside, Yun Mengyi murmured unconsciously. Raining at this time might not be a good thing for the people. As far as she knew, it started snowing in September to early October in the north, and the amount of snow was very heavy. Many people's houses were crushed, and people had frozen to death one after another. At the beginning of the month, it also started snowing in the central region. If it rained in Chenzhou at this time, it would most likely be snowy rain, and eventually turn into white snow. The temperature would definitely drop even lower. This winter, the people's life would be difficult. "Is it raining?"

Following her line of sight, Shen Xiangwan shook his head helplessly: "I'll go upstairs to find Cheng Yi."

"Ah."

Knowing that she must be busy again, Yun Mengyi and the others did not stop her. Ever since the people's cabbages could be harvested, she and Yuan Xiu had been very busy for a while. They didn't even have time to slaughter pigs at home, as they handled everything themselves. Not to mention the mess in the workshop, which had always been the responsibility of Yuan Ruyan and Zhou Changqing.

Shen Xiangwan said that she was going upstairs to find Wei Chengyi, but in fact she was just talking to him on the intercom. After Wei Chengyi went to the capital city to personally lead the work-for-relief program last time, he never came back, and they would only meet in the space at night.

"Cheng Yi."

In the study, Shen Xiangwan picked up the intercom. She wanted to talk to Wei Chengyi about the heating problem for the people. The weather was getting colder day by day. If it really rained, the temperature would definitely be lower, and it might even snow. It was time for them to start the heating plan.

"Wanwan, wait a moment."

Wei Chengyi's voice soon came from the intercom. He seemed to be busy. After a while, his voice sounded again: "What's wrong?"

"No, I want to talk to you about keeping the people warm."

Intercom calls are never as convenient as direct conversations, so Shen Xiangwan didn't say anything too much and went straight to the point.

"As early as the beginning of the month, I had already issued an order for each county to go door to door to assist the people who are willing to build fireplaces. The charcoal has also been delivered to each county one after another. When the weather cools down further, the yamen runners will deliver it to each village for distribution."

They had been preparing for the snowstorm several months ago, and no matter how busy he was, Wei Chengyi did not ignore this matter.

Shen Xiangwan was stunned, then couldn't help laughing: "Okay, since you have already made arrangements, I won't say any more. Let's talk again when we return to the space tonight."

"it is good."

Wei Chengyi quickly ended the call. Shen Xiangwan casually threw the walkie-talkie on the desk, leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes to take a nap, thinking about many things over and over in her mind, from how she escaped from the plot after traveling through time and space, and chose to cooperate with Wei Chengyi, to how they were exiled, and came to Chenzhou after going through hardships, and then started from scratch in Chenzhou, and operated step by step to the present. Everything went through her mind again.

"It's already been a year and a half without me noticing!"

After opening his eyes, Shen Xiangwan stared at the roof with empty eyes, and surprisingly felt a little emotional.

"Wow..."

That evening, after nearly half a year, it finally rained, and it was pouring rain. However, the people of Chenzhou were not happy at all, because with the falling rain, the temperature dropped further. The unprepared people were shivering with cold, and even quilts filled with poplar fluff, reed catkins, and kapok were not warm enough. Some families who followed the advice of the government and built fireplaces lit them with firewood overnight and finally felt a little warmer. Those who thought building fireplaces was a waste of money could only bear it. The adults were still fine, but most of the children were crying with cold.
