Chapter 229 Food Shortage
After finishing the meal, Tan Wenning saw Xu Miaoyi facing the table and began to mobilize Dai Lai. She frowned, and decided to ask, in case she could help, although she couldn't do much, but she could Not a lot.

"Auntie, what's the matter with you? If you have any thoughts, you can tell us." At this time, the elders basically went back to their rooms, and only Tan Wenning and Nangong Qianqian were left in the living room.

"Wen Ning, it's nothing serious, your uncle will take care of it." Xu Miaoyi hesitated for a moment, but still didn't want to tell Tan Wenning that she couldn't say it, and her husband also ordered her not to say it, especially not to let Wen Ning Lemon knows.

"Auntie, does it have something to do with food? Is there no rice or vegetables at home?" Tan Wenning said while paying attention to Xu Miaoyi's expression. Sure enough, when she said this, Xu Miaoyi's expression was obviously surprised. To think that she would know.

"No, no, girl Wen Ning, it's not like this, don't think too much." Xu Miaoyi's expression immediately changed.

"Auntie, don't hide this from me. I can really help with this, really." Tan Wenning looked at Xu Miaoyi seriously.

She probably thought of the reason why Xu Miaoyi didn't want to tell her, maybe it was because she was afraid that if she found out, she would leave Rongchanghou's mansion. After all, there were not enough ingredients to eat, and so many people had to eat them, so she would definitely feel embarrassed?

"Really? Girl Wen Ning, do you know someone who can sell rice and ingredients to us?" Xu Miaoyi no longer concealed it after hearing this, but her eyes lit up.

"Well, let's put it this way, don't worry, auntie, all these problems can be solved at noon." Tan Wenning said softly.

"Okay, girl Wen Ning, how much money do you want, I'll ask the cashier to bring it to you." Xu Miaoyi said quickly.

"Uncle, how can I ask for your money, don't worry, I have it with me." Tan Wenning smiled.

"Girl Wen Ning, in fact, because of the rain, many nearby villages were flooded, and the harvest was not good, so now, there are not even a few vendors selling vegetables on the street. We are rich now, so we can buy them all." No, there are still some people who have it themselves, but they won't sell it, after all, they still have to keep it for themselves, so how can they sell it." Having said this, Xu Miaoyi let out a helpless sigh.

"Auntie, are all the people around here like this? Including other officials?" Tan Wenning asked softly.

"Yeah, otherwise our Rongchanghou's mansion wouldn't be here. In fact, we are pretty good. At least we have enough food to eat for a few days, but some mansions are not as lucky as us, and they may be suffering today. I'm hungry, but the imperial court should think of a way." Xu Miaoyi frowned and said softly.

Tan Wenning did not expect that the impact of the flood would be so great, it was beyond her expectation.

"I'm afraid they are transporting food from elsewhere, but it will probably take several days." Tan Wenning said with a frown.

"That's right, girl Wenning, if you can get food, just get it, if you can't get it, forget it, don't force yourself, we still have enough food for a few days in our house." Xu Miaoyi didn't want Tan Wenning to have any mistakes because of this matter. .

"Uncle, don't worry, I won't force myself." Tan Wenning smiled, she was worried that no one would eat the food in the space, and what's more, she could take the opportunity to make a fortune, so why not do it!

Anyway, the most important thing for these officials and nobles in Kyoto is money.

"Auntie, then I'll go to work first." Tan Wenning had to go and discuss this matter with her uncle, after all, she had to have his uncle as a witness before she could continue.

"Okay, let's go." Xu Miaoyi said softly, and after talking to Tan Wenyue, she felt much better.

"Mom, then I'm leaving too." Nangong Qianqian said in a hurry, she also wanted to follow.

"Go." Xu Miaoyi smiled dotingly, since Wen Ning came, her daughter has been with her.

"Sister Wen Ning, wait for me!"

Tan Wenning paused, turned around holding an umbrella, and saw Nangong Qianqian running over holding an umbrella, followed by two little maidservants.

"Sister Qianqian, why are you here?" Tan Wenning didn't want Nangong Qianqian to go back with her. After all, what she said later might scare her, and it was not convenient for her to know now.

"Sister Wen Ning, let me go with you, what if you are in danger?" Nangong Qianqian said hastily.

"Sister Qianqian, I won't go out. I'm going to discuss with my little uncle. My little uncle owns a rice shop. You should know about it, so my little uncle should know how to do this." Tan Wenning said simply After explaining, she felt that Nangong Qianqian should be able to understand.

"That's right, why did I forget about this, then you go, if you need my help with anything, just come to me." Nangong Qianqian said softly.

After all, she still has a relationship with the Qin family, so she won't join in the fun with the past.

"Well, then I'll go first, Sister Qianqian." Tan Wenning smiled slightly, her beautiful face and the smile on her face seemed to melt people's hearts.

"Well, see you later." Nangong Qianqian also responded softly, and then took her maidservant to her yard.

After a while, Tan Wenning told Qin Yangyao about everything, and Qin Yangyao said without thinking, "It's possible, but you have to go out of the city to do this."

"Why?" Qin Jingtong asked in confusion,
"Brother, think about it, Ning girl took those things out of her own space. If we were all in the city, and these things would inexplicably increase, anyone would doubt it." Qin Yangyao said with a frown.

Hearing what Qin Yangyao said, Qin Jing and the others nodded repeatedly: "That's the reason, so if you go out of the city, Ning girl must follow, and you have to send a lot of guards to protect, otherwise, don't say it back I’m afraid they will be snatched up before entering the city.”

Tan Wenning didn't expect to be so troublesome, but what the uncles said made sense, she couldn't just take the things out of the space, otherwise there would be more of these things for no reason, and it would be strange if people didn't suspect them.

She is not afraid that others will look at her strangely, but she is afraid that she will be regarded as a monster and be burned at the stake.

"Let me discuss this matter with my uncle. This matter must be done, not to mention for ourselves, but for the people in this city, we have to do it too. After all, we don't know when the supplies will arrive. What?" Tan Wenning's eyes suddenly became firm.

"Okay, since girl Ning has said so, let's do this. I will go with you tomorrow." Qin Yangyao nodded.
