Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 775 Bran
It is often said that a person can be without money but cannot be without ambition.

But Li Chengxi is not like that.

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

It's not necessary or needed.

But now, Li Chengxi no longer needs the income from the convenience store. He can even say in a very decadent way that as long as he sells a bottle of disease removal potion from time to time, he will never need to work in his life.

Oh yes, God is immortal.

But no matter what, Li Chengxi no longer expects the convenience store to survive. Instead, it has become a troublesome burden to him.

But if you want to close the shop and rent it out...

Li Chengxi was still a little reluctant.

People are nostalgic, and Li Chengxi is no exception. Besides, it has been open for so many years, and he really doesn't want to see it close suddenly.

So after weighing the pros and cons, Li Chengxi decided to hire someone to look after the store. He didn't care how much money the person made, as long as he could keep the business going.

If I feel like it in the future, I can go back to being a convenience store owner at any time.

This is like many retired elderly people who receive several thousand yuan in pension every month but still work as janitors. They are not short of money, they just don't want to be idle.

Li Chengxi now feels like he is entering 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 out the second floor. He sold the furniture and other things at a low price, packed up all the useful things, and asked the moving company to deliver them to the villa. Then he locked the second floor.

You know what, this cleanup allowed Li Chengxi to find a lot of forgotten things, such as game cards from his childhood, love letters that he wrote but never sent out in junior high school, and so on.

Finding someone to open a store and giving employees some simple training may sound like a troublesome task, but it is actually not that difficult to do. After all, convenience stores do not require any technical skills and can be explained clearly in a few words.

From now on, Li Chengxi only needs to reconcile the accounts every few days to confirm that his employees have not embezzled money.

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

I checked on Viola in the morning and found that nothing was wrong. Alyssa was still in preparation. The only one who was a little worried was Yang Yiyi.

Because Yang Yiyi has already left the Qi Jue Sect and continued to help Ning Xianer deliver the letter with Wu Shaoyi, she was a little worried that she would run into trouble along the way.

But then I thought, if I don’t pay attention to it for a day at most, it shouldn’t be a big deal…right?

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Yongli

Early August, 1155.

Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi walked along the official road.

The two of them only stayed at Qi Jue Gate for one day and said goodbye to Zhou Wenyi the next day.

Zhou Wenyi knew that Yang Yiyi's delivery of the letter was a very important matter. In fact, he wanted to go with her so that he could take care of her.

But as an elder of the Qi Jue Sect, it’s a bit strange for you to go with two little girls, right?

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

The same goes for sending disciples to help. Originally, no one knew that Yang Yiyi helped Ning Xianer deliver the letter. Now, it was obvious that there was a problem written on her face.

So after leaving Qi Jue Men, they became a team of two people, Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi.

But before the two of them left, Zhou Wenyi gave Yang Yiyi a secret book. It was not about any kung fu, but Zhou Wenyi's experience in using dual guns over the years. He saw Yang Yiyi using dual maces, and they were both dual-wielding weapons, so they had many things in common, so he gave her his experience for reference.

Zhou Wenyi is very optimistic about Yang Yiyi, and actually wants to give her a real martial arts secret book or something like that, but the rules of the Qi Jue Sect are extremely strict, and even the elders cannot teach kung fu to outsiders casually.

Before leaving, in addition to his experience, he also gave Yang Yiyi some precious medicinal herbs and pills so that she could use them in case of emergency 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 the Qi Jue Sect, Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi followed the official road all the way to the northeast. Their next stop was Qinghe Lake on the northern edge of Yuezhou State. To be more precise, it was 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 was a letter to them, it meant that this sect must be very powerful.

Yang Yiyi was also a little excited, because Wu Shaoyi said that this sect was located within the Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, and now was a good season to see the peach blossoms.

The two of them mainly walked along the way, and from time to time they could get a ride from a passing merchant caravan. After walking for nearly ten days, the two finally arrived at a fairly large town.

This place is called Dingshui. It is a small town, but it has dry beds and warm kangs. They can 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 sleeping in the open for ten days want most.

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

But at the same time, a group of refugees appeared.

It was estimated that there were about a thousand people gathered in the makeshift shacks outside the city gate. Yang Yiyi didn't really pay much attention to this at first. After all, there were refugees at the gates of many towns she met along the way.

But Dingshui's porridge stall was placed next to the city gate, and soldiers were responsible for maintaining order. When entering the city, Yang Yiyi would inevitably see the situation in the porridge stall.

"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 after the porridge is cooked, the chopsticks inserted into it cannot fall over. If the chopsticks fall over, the person who cooks the porridge will be beheaded.

After all, it was disaster relief grain. If something went wrong, the victims would instantly turn into a mob. The emperors were very concerned about this.

However, the porridge stall in Dingshui actually cooked bran for the victims, which is usually used to feed chickens and pigs.

It doesn't matter whether you feed the victims old rice or new rice. It's also okay to feed them bran. Bran is actually the outer layer of rice, but bran is not. It is the soft shell that wraps the grain.

How can we feed people bran?

Yang Yiyi, who was prone to meddling in unfair matters, got furious on the spot and immediately wanted to go up and argue with the sergeant.

"Sister Yang, don't be impulsive. There may be something else going on."

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

"Perhaps there is not enough food for disaster relief, so we have to resort to this last resort. Sister Yang, you are so impulsive, you might get into trouble."

After listening to the explanation, Yang Yiyi thought about it and felt that it was indeed possible.

Along the way, they have seen many disaster victims, saying that there are as many as 100,000 people affected. With so many mouths to feed, no matter how hard the court tries to allocate relief grain, there will always be a shortage of grain.

It's good enough to have something to eat, why does it matter whether there is bran or not? You can't just not let people eat if there is no food.

In fact, if you think about the fact that Tang Lianyu specially purchased some grain and shipped it to the disaster area, you will know that the court's disaster relief grain is indeed not enough, and feeding people bran is only a stopgap measure.

Yang Yiyi also realized that she would wrongly accuse a good person in a moment of impulse, but she was cautious and took the matter seriously. She would inquire about it after entering the city.
