“That’s fine, but you can’t go back on your words. I’m counting on your 10,000 pounds of bran.” Tian Jingzhong said.
“No problem. You can look for me anytime.” Zhou Ying paused and continued, “By the way, the combination of ingredients can’t be done casually. If you really want to make a myriad of grains, I suggest you consult a doctor so that people won’t get an upset stomach.”
“Alright, I’ll remember this.” Tian Jingzhong solemnly nodded.
“Then it’s settled. We will no longer provide porridge starting tomorrow.
“In addition, I’ll also donate 10,000 pounds of wheat bran, 20,000 pounds of dried flowers and vines, and 2,000 pounds of tofu residue.” Manager Liu stated as he rose to his feet.
“Thank you so much. I’ll get someone to get it for you later.” Tian Jingzhong nodded repeatedly.
After sending them off, Tian Jingzhong immediately took note of the number they had said, then went to the clinic to find Doctor Luo and Gu Chengrui, asking them to come up with one or two recipes.
…..
He collected another batch of fodder according to the recipe. This time, it was much easier to talk to the other business owners, and they gave him a large amount of what he asked for.
The owner of the grain store, in particular, gave 50,000 pounds of wheat bran, 20,000 pounds of breadcrumbs, and crushed rice mixed with rice husks.
Tian Jingzhong didn’t mind this. He immediately reported the amount of grain donated by everyone to County Mayor Kong in a book after receiving it.
County Mayor Kong’s eyes lit up when he understood his plan. Not only the wealthy families in their small town couldn’t support this porridge stand, but even the county government felt the same way.
In addition to the wealthy families preparing to escape, all kinds of conflicts began appearing at the porridge stands.
These mixed grains weren’t what the rich wanted to keep, so it was much easier for them to donate them.
However, this food could save the lives of countless people.
“You can try implementing this,” he said directly after thinking it through. “If it works, it will be implemented in the whole county.”
“Yes, I’ll make the arrangements now. It can be implemented tomorrow morning.”
“Alright. Remember, it’s okay if the food is inferior, but it must be clean. If it’s moldy, it can’t be mixed in. Otherwise, it’ll be troublesome if someone dies from it.”
“Understood. I’ll personally supervise it.” Tian Jing Zhong patted his chest and said.
At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief. He turned around and then walked out.
After he returned, he began to send people to each household to get fodder.
County Mayor Kong called Bai Jingping over. After a brief discussion, Bai Jingping brought his men to wealthy families and proposed to donate various kinds of fodder.
After dinner, Zhou Ying told Gu Chengrui about how she leaked the white potato news to Manager Liu. “I didn’t have time to discuss this with you, so don’t be angry.”
“How could I be? It’s only a matter of time. If we had told them earlier, we wouldn’t have had to worry about the theft in the manor.”
“You’re saying…”
“That’s right. I think he closed Hongyun Restaurant earlier than expected because he wanted to guard the white potato seedlings in the manor.” Gu Chengrui stopped and continued, “By the way, should we close our Grassland Taste Restaurant?
“When the porridge stand closes tomorrow, I’m afraid there will be trouble.”
“No. No matter what, we still get a few dozen taels of silver per day in income.
“If it’s closed, how will we feed such a large group of people?” Zhou Ying paused for a moment. “At most, I will increase the price of the desserts and staples. That way, I can save a lot of money.”
Seeing her firm attitude, Gu Chengrui had no choice but to say, “Alright, but do a good job of guarding the place. If the town is in chaos anyway, you’ll have to close up..”
