The whole family travels with me

Chapter 20 Hoarding Food
When the war breaks out, the gates on all sides of Pucheng will be sealed. The city will serve as the rear of the front line. Except for injured soldiers and idlers, no one can enter or leave the city. Businessmen from other places will not be able to enter. The price of food will probably increase several times. .

Meng Sangpo heard the noise and came out holding on to the wall, "What's wrong?"

Huang Ye hurried over to help her, "It's nothing. Aunt Zhe has an emergency at home. She accidentally knocked over the stool while running. Grandma, I have arranged all the household chores when I come back this time. It will take a long time to come back next time. You If you feel unwell, just tell Mrs. Zhe to ask her to go to the city to ask for a doctor. I have already told you and the doctor will come.

Even if the doctor can't leave, you can still call the doctor to come and take a look at it. You don't have to worry about the money. Also, I have already paid for the work next month, so the county government doesn't need to worry about it. "

Meng Sangpo sighed for a while and did not mention spending money.

When the sun was about to set, Huang Ye had already given Meng Sangpo a comfortable hot bath, and then fed her a small bowl of chicken soup. After watching Meng Sangpo lie down, she carefully walked out of the bedroom.

At this time, Li Mu had just arrived at the door pushing a large cart.

Huang Ye quickly came out to help.

"Xiaoye, I've pushed back everything you asked for. The manager told me to wait until you get back to pay the bill. Don't worry. Why did you buy so much food because of the war?" Li Mu asked in a low voice, not daring to say anything.

Huang Ye nodded and said while moving things: "Everyone in the village probably knows that you mainly help with shopping in the house. Everyone knows that many people will probably come to your house at night to ask for your help in buying food."

"What? I didn't even buy it myself!" Li Mu was a little anxious. The news of the war had not spread, but the city had recently strengthened its military defense. Since yesterday, the things purchased by the stewards had doubled. Today Huang Ye After asking for so many things, he knew the situation at Huang Ye's family. She couldn't hoard food for no reason, so he thought of going to war, but he didn't expect it to happen!
Huang Ye muttered: "What I mean is that we are all from the same village. If you can help, please help. If someone comes to your door, don't rush to push them away. Write it down first, and go to the Major General's Mansion tomorrow to report the matter to the steward.

This matter is serious and the manager cannot make the decision. He will definitely report it to the Major General. The Major General will not miss this opportunity to win over the people and will definitely agree. By then, the villagers can buy the most grain at the lowest price, and everyone will also Thank you for your contribution. "

When Li Mu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and his heart jumped suddenly, "Xiaoye, is what you said true?"

"Why are you lying to me! I've troubled you a lot over the years, and I've even tricked you!" Huang Ye sneered.

Li Mu hurriedly apologized, "That's not what I meant. I'm not as smart as you, and I couldn't have imagined so much! Since you have said it, I believe you. If someone asks me for help when I go back, I will definitely write it down."

Huang Ye looked like a child who could be taught.

After Li Mu left, she immediately closed the courtyard door, bolted the door, and went to the warehouse where things were stored to check the food stored in her home. This time she asked the house steward to help buy ten shi of food, which was enough for Meng Sangpo's food intake. She eats it for a year or two.

In addition to the grain, there are sixty duck eggs, all of which are freshly laid. Meng Sangpo can eat one or two a day for more than a month. If the duck eggs cannot be stored for a long time, she would like to buy more.

The vegetables grown in the vegetable garden at home are enough for daily consumption, and sugar and salt are also stored for a year. It seems that there is no shortage of anything.

After counting the things, Huang Ye went back to his room. He went to bed early tonight and had to leave before dawn tomorrow.

At the same time, the Li family in the south of the village welcomed waves of villagers, including the village chief. A group of old people sat in the yard with frowning faces.

Village Chief: "Huang Ye, this child has always been steady, and she is the person that the Major General can talk to. She can't be wrong after she said so!"

"Village Chief, why don't we come and ask again to make sure we don't make a mistake!" An old man about the same age as the village chief suggested worriedly.The village chief hesitated for a long time before shaking his head, "Zhe just said that Huang Ye doesn't want Meng Sangpo to know these things. If we come to visit Meng Sangpo, she will definitely be suspicious. If Meng Sangpo has something, Huang Ye will hate him to death." We, Zhe and Li Mu have both said that we will go to war, no matter what happens, we will not go wrong by hoarding food!"

Father Li nodded in agreement, "I think so too. If I can buy cheaper food, I won't lose anything."

"But will the Major General really help?" someone asked suspiciously.

Everyone looked at Li Mu.

Li Mu's heart trembled, "I'm not sure if I can help everyone, but I will try my best."

The village chief sighed again, "Thank you for your hard work. If we can really buy food, I will thank you on behalf of the whole village!"

"No, no, no, these are all what I should do." Li Mu scratched his head in embarrassment, his face turning red.

The next step was to register the amount of grain needed. Li Mu had worked as a steward for five years in the Major General. He could read a few words, but he could write like a dog crawling, ugly and slow, but no one urged him.

It was not until Xu Shi that half of the villagers left one after another.

Huangye got up before dawn the next day and cooked meat porridge for Meng Sangpo.

Meng Sangpo had bad teeth, so she had to chop the meat into minced meat, and even the vegetables. Zhe still laughed at her for being poor and picky, but she could eat more by cooking Meng Sangpo like this. Later, Zhe also learned how to cook it. Meat porridge.

After Meng Sangpo finished a bowl of porridge, Huang Ye left the house with a basket on his back. Just as Mr. Zhe came over, the two whispered a few words outside the courtyard before they separated.

Meng Sangpo saw that Zhe had brought a bunch of things and asked strangely: "What are these?"

Zhe hurriedly smiled and explained, "Huang Ye said that the Major General's Mansion is quite busy these days. She doesn't trust you and asked our family to move here to live with you. I went back last night to discuss it with the child's father. His father means that the child and I can move here, and he can live at home and it will be more convenient for him to go to the fields."

Meng Sangpo laughed and said, "Since everyone is here, he is not the only one left."

Zhe also laughed, "I don't want to take advantage of you! I made an agreement with Huang Ye. Although I live here with you, I have a clear understanding of food. I brought all the food here."

Meng Sangpo knew Zhe's temperament, so she waved her hand and said, "You can do whatever you want. There are many people in the house and it will be lively!"

As people get older, they don't like to be left alone, so she is still very satisfied with Huang Ye's arrangement.

At this time, Huang Ye had already left Yi'an Village and met Li Mu on the road. Li Mu excitedly shared with her what happened last night, "Huang Ye, you are really amazing. A bunch of people came to my house last night and asked me to buy food. I did the math and found that the food we all need exceeds [-] dan. With so much food, not to mention that the manager can’t make the decision. Even if he does, he doesn’t dare to make his own decision. In all likelihood, he will have to ask the Major General for a decision.”
