Chapter 111 It's Not Easy
How the food is distributed afterwards is their business.
Shen Ying told the two: "You can rest here for two days first. Eat and drink as you need. There is no need to be overly frugal as long as you don't waste. I have already prepared the building materials and labor. When the time comes, I will take you to the flat land to settle down and build a house."
Chen Banggaoqing went into the cave to take a look, and when he came out, he couldn't hide his excitement. He clasped his hands towards Shen Ying and said, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Shen."
The food inside is all top quality.
There is no stale grain and no impurities in the rice. Even the rich peasant families in the past would have found it difficult to eat grain of this quality.
There is still red oil hanging on the pickles!
"Plan to eat those pickles. We can't supply that much meat, eggs or vegetables at this time. When you go to the beach later, you can catch some sea fish to satisfy your hunger."
"Yes! Thank you, Manager Shen. We will make sure to distribute it properly."
Suddenly, someone among the refugees howled. Shen Ying went over to take a look and found that several people had fallen down.
"Since we entered the south, we have been drinking water on the road and eating grass roots with our food every day. Why is it still like this?" Chen Bang asked, and the people around him hesitated.
We then realized that after knowing there was water to drink, these people did not listen to advice and would not stop until they were full. Now their bodies can no longer bear it.
Shen Ying sighed: "You guys cook first."
If she had not fled the famine in advance, everyone she met would probably be in this miserable state.
She is not a completely kind person, but she can't help but sigh when she sees the sufferings of the world before her.
Shen Ying drove away. She had to go back and tell her family not to contact or provide assistance to any refugees who appeared in the surrounding area.
Otherwise it will affect the boss's plan to recruit these people.
Two days later, Qi Yanchuan arrived with more than 300 people. In addition to the 200 people assigned by Hu Xianfeng, there were also recruited workers. These people mixed into the 700 people, with a total number of over 1,000. They passed by Changsheng Village in a mighty procession and went to the place selected by Qi Yanchuan.
Shen Ying continued to go back to the cave and found that all the things had been moved out. Just as she was about to continue putting in food, she heard some noise outside.
She dodged and hid behind a stone wall.
There were people blocking the door, more than one.
"Don't hide little girl, we've seen your carriage outside."
"After two days of waiting, we finally got you."
"I said we could catch a big fish. If she values us, the owner of this business would not have so little food. As long as we catch her, we can form a team and become the king in the future."
"Come out, don't hide. What if we provoke a few of us to come in and catch you and we get angry? What will we do then?"
Several people laughed disgustingly. The crossbow in Shen Ying's hand was ready to be fired. Hearing their unsteady steps and the sound of their voices being sucked in, it was clear that their fighting ability was not very high.
Even though the lighting was bad, with such a close target and such an opponent, there was no way she could miss.
"Oh no! Look, there are horses coming towards us."
"Why is it them? Aren't they in a hurry to build a house? Why did they come back suddenly?"
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
"What about this woman?"
"We'll talk about it later, run first!"
The people at the edge of the cave had retreated, and the light came in again.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer, there were more than one or two horses.
Shen Ying was still waiting to see whether the newcomer was a friend or an enemy.
She would not completely let down her guard just because of what a few vagrants said.
Fortunately, a familiar voice dispelled his tension the next moment.
"Go chase those fleeing refugees first, I'll take care of this."
Qi Yanchuan called Shen Ying's name and walked in slowly.
"Don't be afraid, those people ran to the mountain, but our people have already chased them."
Shen Ying appeared from behind the stone wall, but he did not put away the crossbow in his hand.
Qi Yanchuan felt relieved instead, because he knew that Shen Ying would definitely protect him.
However, he was also aware that he had set off immediately after noticing something was wrong, because there were as many as seven people outside.
"When I counted the number of people, I found that there were seven or eight people missing. According to everyone's description, the missing ones were a few people who gathered in groups, so I hurried over."
Shen Ying nodded. Her reaction speed was fast enough. "Then how did you know it was hidden here?"
"Because you put the food here, the next wave of people will come soon, and you won't change the place." There are not many places suitable for storing food and accommodating a few temporary earthen stoves for cooking.
Shen Ying was worried: "Do we have to change places?"
"We need to change the place, but it's not far." Qi Yanchuan pointed to the mountain road not far away. He and Shen Ying had been here before.
Shen Ying also had an impression: "Isn't this the place where the supply vehicles of that mountain pass...ah, you mean, we need to hide the food on the mountain?"
"Well, as far as I know, the official has been wiped out. The town now seems to be stable and there is no one missing, but in fact all the officials have been dealt with, even Mr. Lin's family has been controlled.
So no matter who wanted to mine this mountain before, now those equipment and small houses can bring convenience to our refugee arrangements.”
He had worked in the mountains for two months and knew the area very well.
The two men went up the mountain and hid the food. It was already dark.
Because it took the two of them almost three hours to unpack the pickles and mustard tubers.
Shen Ying looked at the sky which had already darkened. It was obviously not a wise choice to go down the mountain at this time.
So they threw a few traps, lit a few bonfires at a safe distance, and released two small RVs.
One for Shen Ying and one for Qi Yanchuan.
The two spent a night without communication.
The next day, Shen Ying got off the car and found Qi Yanchuan squatting on the ground looking at the tire marks. "The tire marks are a problem. Also, it's unreasonable for only the two of us to leave footprints when there's so much food going up the mountain.
Tomorrow I will bring some people up to walk around a few times and create more footprints, and then it will be perfect."
Shen Ying added some details. "Take them along the small slope, chop some dry firewood and send it up there. Trample out a few more paths so that no one can find them."
"to make."
Two days later, Shen Ying moved the food to another place, and Qi Yanchuan finished up.
With the cooperation of the two, they finally arranged food supplies for the 5,000 people that Hu Xianfeng and his men had let in. Even the bungalows were built, and many of the first group of people slept on large bunk beds.
The follow-up work is also proceeding in a busy but not chaotic manner.
Shen Ying felt like she was about to collapse from exhaustion.
Let’s buy some pickles. No one has so many pickles stored at home.
Supermarkets don’t sell large jars of pickles.
Without pickles, it would be more troublesome and more suspicious to provide vegetables, meat, eggs and fish.
It's not easy to get protection and work with the big boss.
