Chapter 108 Sad look
Yun Fuling went to see Master Yu to learn about the progress of the house construction.
I learned that it will be almost completed in two days.
After touring the new house from front to back, Yun Fuling picked up her things and went to talk to Village Chief Zhou.
When Village Chief Zhou saw the snacks and fruits that Yun Fuling brought, a smile spread across his face. He said they were too expensive and refused to accept them, but he felt very pleased in his heart.
These snacks and fruits may not look as affordable as fish and meat, but they are not cheap either.
The snack box was especially exquisite and looked different from those in ordinary snack shops.
There were also fresh pink and white peaches, each as big as an adult's fist, and yellow and fragrant melons, which were the most delicious fruits they had ever seen and tasted.
Yun Fuling said, "I bought all of this in the city. I'll give it to you to try."
"I'm not in the village these days, and I'm grateful for your care at home."
“My house was built so quickly, thanks to you.”
"Wu Dadu told me that you brought many people to help build the house."
Village Chief Zhou waved his hands, his face reddening, "It's not that I helped for free, I got paid for it."
As Yun Fuling's project was under a tight deadline and Master Craftsman Yu and his team were short on manpower, Boss Wu took the initiative to recruit some laborers in the village to help with the heavy lifting and moving work.
After the flood and the famine, the villagers settled down in Shuanglin Village, but they were very tight on money.
Not to mention building a house and purchasing household items, even the seeds and farm tools for farming are an expense, so one has to live frugally.
So as this was a great opportunity to generate some income, the villagers all rushed to take part.
Fortunately, Village Chief Zhou was in charge of the situation. He picked out honest and capable people and took them to the Yun family.
Yun Fuling smiled and said, "It is only natural to pay for this work. If it weren't for you to help, it would be impossible for Wu Da and the others to handle it."
Seeing Yun Fuling's sincere tone, Village Chief Zhou no longer refused and accepted the snacks and fruits that Yun Fuling brought.
The two chatted for a while before Yun Fuling asked, "I see the villagers look worried. Did something happen?"
Village Chief Zhou sighed, "These days have been very peaceful, nothing has happened, everyone is just worried about their livelihood."
Without waiting for Yun Fuling to ask any questions, Village Chief Zhou started to complain to her.
"Although the court has relocated us and allocated houses and land, the houses are in a dilapidated state. It's fine on sunny days, but it's hot now, so we can sleep on the floor in the yard."
"But if it rains, or the weather gets colder in the future, we won't be able to make do with it like this. We will definitely have to build a new house."
Others are not as rich as Yun Fuling and cannot build a big brick and tile house, but even building a simple thatched house is an expense.
"Also, the lands distributed by the court were all wastelands. People have opened up some land recently, but the first harvest will definitely not be very good."
"Besides, there are still several months before the autumn harvest. After the autumn harvest, winter will come, and winter will be even more difficult."
"So everyone discussed and decided to go to the city to find a job. Even if it was just hard labor, at least there would be some income."
"Yesterday, Wang's Da Liang and a few villagers went to the county town to see if they could find any work. However, it is not easy to find work in the city."
"A few people came back dejected, so everyone was a little worried."
Yun Fuling already had some plans in mind.
If the plan is to succeed, a lot of manpower will be needed. We can use anyone, but we can give priority to selecting people from the village.
She not only saved herself the trouble, but also solved the villagers' employment problem, allowing them to have a long-term income.
But now is not the time to say it.
She sat in Village Chief Zhou's house for a while, then said goodbye and left.
After Yun Fuling left, Fang, the wife of Village Chief Zhou, could not help but say, "Boss, you have been talking so much, why don't you just talk to Madam Yun directly?"
"She practices medicine in the capital and knows some noble people. If she is willing to help, it will not be difficult to find some work for the villagers."
Village chief Zhou has always been a kind-hearted person. In recent days, he has been sighing and groaning for the livelihood of the villagers, and has been unable to eat or sleep.
Fang felt distressed when she saw this.
She thought that if Yun Fuling could help, her family would also benefit.
No matter which of the sons can go out to work, they will have extra income.
Although the Zhou family's life was better than others, it was also limited.
Now that we have settled in the new place, we have to spend money everywhere.
If we don't find a way to make some income, won't we just be eating up all the money?
Village Chief Zhou rolled his eyes at Fang, tapped his pipe and said, "Don't have any evil ideas!"
Just now he couldn't help but pour out his grievances to Yun Fuling.
He couldn't just take advantage of Madam Yun's kindness and bother her.
Besides, if Madam Yun had a way, she would have definitely told me just now.
Since she didn't say anything, it means she can't do anything.
In this case, he couldn't even speak to embarrass Madam Yun.
Fang curled her lips indifferently, but she didn't dare to disobey Village Chief Zhou's wishes.
Village Chief Zhou gave the things Yun Fuling brought to his wife.
When Fang saw the basket of cakes and fruits, she smiled with joy.
After Yun Fuling came out of Village Chief Zhou’s house, she walked around along the village road.
She had long felt that the climate and soil in Shuanglin Village were suitable for growing medicinal herbs.
In the previous life, the Yun family had their own medicine garden, so Yun Fuling didn’t dare to boast that she was proficient in the cultivation of medicinal herbs, but she knew a lot.
So she wanted to develop Shuanglin Village into her medicine garden in this world.
Most of the medicinal herbs in this era are wild, and there are very few people who know how to grow them, so medical treatment is very expensive and medicine is also expensive.
Only a very small number of people can afford medical treatment.
Most people, when they get sick, just endure it. If they can’t make it and die, they can only sigh and say that they have a bad fate!
Yun Fuling also came into contact with more villagers when she was fleeing famine, and only then did she realize that in this era, it was normal for ordinary people to not be able to afford medical treatment.
Yun Fuling traveled through time and space, but she did not have the conceited desire to be a savior.
But if she can bring about a little bit of positive change within her power, perhaps this is the meaning of her time travel.
In addition to the medicine garden, Yun Fuling also wants to build a pharmacy to produce some Chinese patent medicines.
The popularity of the pills was visible to the naked eye. In just a few days, the pills she sold to Heian Tang were sold out.
There are also many families who want to pay a deposit to Manager Hang and pre-order the next batch of pills from him.
Shopkeeper Hang was not sure how many pills Yun Fuling would have in the next batch, so he didn't dare to collect the deposit.
So when she met Shopkeeper Hang today, he told her about this and hoped that Yun Fuling could make more pills.
But Yun Fuling only has one pair of hands, so no matter how many more, it will be limited.
But if she built a pharmacy and hired people to help, it would relieve a lot of her burden.
At least the trivial tasks of cutting and boiling the medicine can be done by others, and she only needs to be responsible for the key steps in pill making.
