Spatial hoarding to raise cubs

Chapter 230 The Poor County Magistrate Cao
Shopkeeper Gu said eagerly, "Wait for tomorrow, tomorrow I will send someone to bring all these wines."

Xiao Lan nodded, "Okay."

At this time, the shopkeeper Gu's wife said, "Hurry up and eat, otherwise this dish will be cold."

Only then did Shopkeeper Gu remember the meals he cooked, and he was too busy talking just now, and he was too excited to see the wine, so he forgot to take care of Xiao Lan and Xiao Yu to eat quickly.

He hurriedly apologized to Xiao Lan. At this time, Xiao Lan smiled and said, "Hurry up and eat, otherwise, we will all eat cold food. I also want to try your handicraft, Shopkeeper Gu."

Xiao Lan picked up a few pieces of braised pork and put them in Zai Zai's bowl.

Zai Zai picked it up with chopsticks, passed it to his mouth to bite, took a bite lightly, and then pretended to say two words, "Delicious!"

After everyone heard it, they burst out laughing.

After cooking and dinner, Shopkeeper Gu went to County Magistrate Cao's house in Xiao Lan's carriage.

Leave Zai Zai at Shopkeeper Gu's house, playing with Shopkeeper Gu's younger children.

When they arrived at Magistrate Cao's house, they were shocked by the scene at Magistrate Cao's house.

Cao county magistrate's family lived in the yamen. Before, after Furong Town encountered banditry, many people spontaneously found fault and committed some crimes, and they all lived in the prison of Furong Town. Therefore, the yamen In addition to distributing the food stored in the village to the people affected by the disaster, it is also for the prisoners to eat.

Later, Xiao Lan seized some grain and left some for him, but these were far from enough.

After all, although those prisoners committed some minor cases, some of them were sentenced to one to two months in prison.

So now the food in the yamen has been exhausted, and the county magistrate Cao's family of three, he, his wife, and a daughter have already eaten their last meal and couldn't keep up.

When Xiao Lan and shopkeeper Gu arrived, it was already past the time for lunch, and shopkeeper Gu's daughter-in-law had just started cooking the blanched wild vegetable soup, and there was a pot of sparse stick batter.

Neither Xiao Lan nor Shopkeeper Gu expected that magistrate Cao would have such a difficult life.

Xiao Lan and shopkeeper Gu, they haven't seen County Magistrate Cao for a while.

Now it seems that the whole person of County Magistrate Cao is skinny and bones, and the whole skeleton is dangling in the official uniform, as if it will be blown down by the wind.

And his daughter-in-law was also a little hungry, and his daughter was sitting on a small horse not far away, drooling over the wild vegetable soup in the pot, and she was about the size of a cub.

Two small braids, dry yellow, no nutrition at all.

Seeing the arrival of Xiao Lan and shopkeeper Gu, magistrate Cao bared his big white teeth and greeted Xiao Lan and shopkeeper Gu.

There was no flesh on his face and only a layer of skin remained. He looked so thin and weak, but he resisted the soreness in his heart and greeted Xiao Lan and Shopkeeper Gu.

When the two saw Magistrate Cao like this, they couldn't help being startled, and hurriedly unloaded the things from the carriage to Magistrate Cao and moved them into the house.

County magistrate Cao asked in embarrassment, "Master Gu, Xiao Lan, what are you doing here today?"

Xiao Lan said directly, "Let's talk about me later, eat first."

She took out the soft and glutinous pastry from the food box. This pastry is delicious and appetizing.

Therefore, no matter how hungry you are, eating this pastry can fill your stomach in a short time.

Taking advantage of this little time, Xiao Lan planned to cook a pot of mushroom soup for their family, which contained three wild eggs.

Cao County Magistrate's daughter didn't know Xiao Lan, but with her father's encouragement, she reached out to take the pastry in Xiao Lan's hand, and said to Xiao Lan, "Thank you, Auntie."

As soon as she finished speaking, she stuffed the pastry into her mouth and ate it hungrily.

Xiao Lan hurriedly said, "Eat slowly, don't choke."

Xiao Lan hastily took out the water bag and handed it to Cao Yurou. Cao Yurou was almost choked because she ate very quickly, but fortunately the kind aunt brought out the water bag in time, and after she drank several mouthfuls, It was only then that the pastry was washed down.

After eating, her eyes fell on the pastry in Xiao Lan's hand again, and Xiao Lan hurriedly handed the pastry to Cao Yurou again.

Similarly, County Magistrate Cao and his wife were speechless as they took the cakes Xiao Lan gave them.

They handed two pieces of pastries to their mouths and chewed them slowly with great care.

Finally, after I ate everything in my stomach, I felt that there was food in my stomach, and I felt a little more energetic when I spoke. Otherwise, if I looked sick like before, if I starved for a few more days, I would probably not have much energy.

After a while, the people in Furong Town probably will have nowhere to go to find this Master Qingtian.

Xiao Lan was boiling the mushroom and egg soup in the pot, and the tempting aroma emanating from it made Cao Yurou, the daughter of County Magistrate Cao, also run to the stove and look at the food in the pot with her mother.

Both of them had the same expression, that is, they were both swallowing hard.

"It smells so good!" County Magistrate Cao's daughter said to Xiao Lan, "I'm sorry, but we haven't had enough to eat for several days."

Shopkeeper Gu said, "You have no food, and you don't look for me. I can help you tide over the difficulties no matter what. If I can't do anything alone, wouldn't there be Xiao Lan?"

Magistrate Cao certainly knew his situation, and he didn't want to trouble his old friend all the time.

He said heavily, "I really don't want to bother you, brother Gu, I don't know when my salary will be paid, and I don't know when I can pay you back."

"Salary? Hasn't the imperial court issued a salary for a long time?"

County magistrate Cao said, "From the beginning of conscription to the present, I haven't received my salary for three months. We are all living on our own. In addition, there is still some food in the original warehouse, which has been exhausted in the past few months. do."

Shopkeeper Gu was a little annoyed, and the county magistrate Cao was a little too polite, so not only did he suffer, but the child also suffered.

Shopkeeper Gu said, "Even if you are hungry, you can't starve the child by yourself. Look, starve the child. The child is still so young. If the child suffers from starvation, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

County Magistrate Cao glanced back at Xiao Yurou, that thin and thin figure was still staring at the steaming stove with her mother in a daze.

Xiao Lan took another bag of rice noodles from the carriage.

Now she puts a little food on the carriage, basically every time she goes out.

After all, there is a shortage of food now, and almost everyone I meet is because of lack of food.

If she took it from the space every time, it would be too conspicuous, with a carriage as a cover, put something in the carriage, and then take it out anytime and anywhere, after all, there are too many people who can't eat now.
