Chapter 272 Robbery (third shift)
Ye Sanniang first scalded the bowl and the wooden spoon with hot water, then poured some water, shook the bowl to dry, and fed the baby with the wooden spoon.

"Gurgling..."

"Ah! She's still making noise after drinking!" Ye Yanxing looked at his mother in surprise and said.

"It's instinct." Ye Sanniang let out a long breath, "I can swallow, so it seems that the situation is not too bad." Looking at her with gentle eyes, she said, "It seems that we came in time, and it's hard to tell if it's a little later gone."

Ye Sanniang saw that the feeding was almost done, and how much water the baby could drink, "Let's go!"

"Miss, we don't seem to be able to leave." Gao Mancang said with a cold look at the villagers walking ahead.

"What's wrong?" Ye Yanxing opened the curtain and opened the car door and poked his head out, "Hiss..." He gasped, "What are they trying to do?"

"What's wrong?" Ye Yanxing turned his head and looked out.

Ye Sanniang moved her body, and the three of them firmly blocked the baby.

Ye Sanniang straightened up and looked over the mule cart.

Walking towards them was a group of villagers in ragged clothes, carrying their own hoes, poles, branches... all shivering from the cold!

"What do you want to do?" Gao Mancang got up and stood on the shaft of the car, looking at them sharply and said.

"Master, madam, please give me something to eat!"

Plop... Crashed and fell to my knees.

The head hit the loess road, bang bang bang bang bang.

"Master, Ma'am, please do me a favor, the family is really struggling."

"Miss, what should we do about this?" Gao Mancang muttered in a low voice.

"Give them the dry food!" Ye Sanniang thought for a while and said, we were going to turn around and go home anyway.

"I'm afraid that the old slave gave us something, so they won't let us go, and insist on looting everything." Gao Mancang said worriedly, frowning.

"Don't be afraid! Don't blame me for beating them if you dare to watch their actions in other ways." Ye Sanniang looked at them sharply and said, "Look at them, they are so skinny, they can't even stand upright, and they can be pushed down with just one finger." .”

"Okay!" Gao Mancang looked at them after thinking for a while and said, "Folks, we only have this one mule cart, and the three people in it are already crowded enough." He said again in a loud voice, "You can see it at a glance. I see, I didn’t lie to you, there is only half a bag of fried flour and some pancakes in the mule cart.”

Ye Sanniang handed half a bag of fried noodles and a package containing pancakes to Gao Mancang.

Gao Mancang held it up high, "You see, it's just this dry food. You want it! Now step back a hundred steps, and I'll put it on the side of the road." Looking at them sharply, he said, "I don't agree. , then don’t blame me for being rude.”

Everyone stared at the food in his hand with green eyes like hungry wolves, and kept swallowing.

"What do you decide now?" Gao Mancang said loudly.

"I retreat, I retreat." They said in unison.

"Then stop when I count to one hundred." Gao Mancang looked at them gently and said, jumped off the mule cart, put the things on the shaft, turned the front of the cart first, and then came to the cart with food in his hand Onomichi, "I'm starting to count, one, two, three..."

Every time Gao Mancang counted a step, the more than 20 people took a step back, counted to one hundred, and put the food in their hands on the grass.

Gao Mancang quickly ran to the front of the car, and hurried away in the mule cart.

Those people ran towards the food frantically.

Because there was a baby in the compartment, I didn't dare to lift the curtains to look back, but I was very eager to hear the messy footsteps.

"Mother, this amount of food is not enough, what are they going to do?" Ye Yanxing asked worriedly.

Ye Sanniang's long eyelashes drooped down, covering the coldness in her eyes, her red lips parted slightly, and she said slowly, "The law of the jungle, the weak prey on the strong."

"Do we have to fight?" Ye Luoxing pressed his ear against the wall at the rear of the carriage, "They are yelling, line up, one person, one bowl."

"Huh..." Ye Yanxing said with a smile on his face, "At least everyone can get some, although it's a drop in the bucket."

"It seems that they are well-trained, and they are all veterans." Ye Sanniang looked at them with bottomless eyes and said.

"After all, I'm still poor." Ye Yanxing looked at her worriedly and said.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have thrown away the newborn baby." Ye Luoxing looked down at the baby and said, his face had returned to normal, but if he didn't look carefully, he could hardly feel her breathing.

"Is there no way to fill my stomach?" Ye Yanxing said, looking at Ye Sanniang eagerly.

"It's not that they don't work hard, they have exhausted all their strength to feed, but the yield in this field is pitiful." Gao Mancang said with a sigh.

"There's not much produce in that field, but there's always some! Can't you fill your stomach?" Ye Luoxing said in surprise. "And the imperial court is tax-free."

"I can't fill it up!" Gao Mancang said dejectedly, "This year, the villagers in the village will collect sorghum for us, and the lady proposed [-]-[-] cents, so we don't use wheat for sorghum. In previous years, when the wheat came down, the villagers came to our house carrying the wheat. Isn’t it because there is not enough food to switch to sorghum?”

"Every household in this place is redistributed, and there is no need to pay rent to the landlord. Is there not enough food?" Ye Sanniang said in surprise.

"Not enough, even though there are a lot of land, but only half of this land can be planted." Gao Mancang said in a low mood.

Ye Sanniang patted her rabbit fur hat and said, "I forgot about this, so the output will be low, and there is less oil and water in the belly, so the food consumption will be more."

"If you want to have a full stomach, you need agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, assistant fishing." Ye Sanniang said, looking at them with crystal clear eyes.

"What do you mean?" Ye Yanxing looked at her puzzledly and said.

"Raise more chickens, ducks, and pigs." Ye Sanniang said simply and crisply.

"I don't dare to raise them too much. They can eat and need more food than humans. Who would give it up? The family conditions are good, and they raise one or two pigs and a few chickens. They are willing to be tired, but they don't have cubs. Is it enough for chickens and ducks to incubate their own eggs?" Gao Mancang said worriedly, "It's the same for this piggy."

"Uh..." Ye Sanniang said thoughtfully upon hearing the words, "Then human intervention is necessary."

"Why does this artificial intervention?" Ye Yanxing said, looking at her with wide black eyes.

"What do you say! You are too young to listen." Ye Sanniang looked at them awkwardly and said.

"Why?" Ye Luoxing suddenly said unhappily.

"I won't talk about it now. I have no objection if you insist on watching it when we actually do it." Ye Sanniang had no choice but to say, "Whether the chicken or the egg came first is really a problem."

Ye Yanxing's round eyes rolled slightly and looked at her amusedly and said, "Mother, which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
