Infrastructure: I survive in troubled times

Chapter 14

"This can't be done, it can't be done." Chen Zhongyuan immediately shook his head and refused to say anything, "We're not hungry yet, we can hold on."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a gurgling sound in the darkness, and the hungry stomach growled.

The slap in the face came too fast, Chen Zhongyuan's face flushed red, and the awkward words in the dark didn't come out.

Who else can I say now? 'D'!
"Let's divide it! Anyway, stuff your teeth!" Hong Lianshuo said while holding back his smile.

Chen Zhongyuan ordered the steamed buns they brought to be dipped in dipping vegetables. It tasted a little salty anyway, and they were eaten separately!
"Me too!" Cui Ming said in disbelief, holding half a steamed bun in both hands.

"Miss Hong said that those who see her have a share, and so do you." Chen Zhongyuan said with a smile.

Cui Ming held half a steamed bun in his hand and put it in front of his nose to smell it greedily.

"Mother, this steamed bun is delicious and soft!" Hong Wangyue whispered.

"It's delicious. From now on, we'll eat it every day, every day." Hong Lianshuo said gently with his head down.

The steamed buns that have just been steamed have the fragrance of wheat and are sweet.

"Really?" Hong Wangyue said excitedly.

"Of course, what did I lie to you for?" Hong Lianshuo chuckled softly.

"I also want to eat every day, every day."

"Who doesn't want to!"

"Can't you soldiers eat all at once?" Hong Lianshuo said in surprise.

"No! Mrs. Hong doesn't know anything, and the people who eat white flour steamed buns are unique to the nobility. It would be good for us to have a wowtou."

"It's more of wild vegetable dumplings with a bit of salt."

Hong Lianshuo's eyes widened in disbelief, "Anyway, he is a soldier, and the emperor is not bad for hungry soldiers."

"What happened to the soldiers? It's also divided."

"If I can eat white flour buns, my life will be worth it."

"Definitely." Hong Lianshuo said firmly.

Chen Zhongyuan sneered when he heard the words, and sneered in his heart, how could it be possible?It would be nice to be able to escape the city alive, but now I don't dare to think that far.

Half a steamed bun, three or two mouthfuls go into the stomach, I haven't tasted it yet!
"Xiaowei Chen, is there anything else?"

Chen Zhongyuan heard the voice and recognized who it was, "Sixi, you've finished eating, no more, just some white-faced buns." He said with a smile, "What's the matter, isn't there enough to eat?"

"I still want to eat." Si Xi said shyly.

"There is food behind you. After you go out, let's talk about it! Not now! You can't make an open fire." Chen Zhongyuan said in a low voice deliberately.

"Okay then!" Sixi said reluctantly, "It would be great if it were meat buns."

"Don't, don't, who knows what kind of meat is in this meat bun." Chen Zhongyuan said quickly after hearing the words, "Let's eat it or not if it's human flesh."

"That's the goodness of Momo." Everyone said after hearing the words, "Momoxiang!"

"Food, how many weapons do you have?" Hong Lianshuo sat cross-legged and filled two wells with water with a water bag. It was sweet, clear and tasted good.

The son was sitting in Hong Lianshuo's arms, and his eyes were so excited that he couldn't sleep.

"There are five hundred catties of grain. If one person has one catty per day, it will be consumed in half a month." Chen Zhongyuan said with a bit of frustration.

"There are more wolves and less meat." Hong Lianshuo said a little regretfully, and suddenly he said briskly, "This proves that there is food, let's look for it."

"I don't know if it will work or not. The capital city of Yan has not been peaceful these years. The common people have no intention to farm the land, and the land yields very little." Chen Zhongyuan said with a sullen face.

"The troops and horses have not moved, and the food and grass will go first. Don't the soldiers who are going on the expedition bring food and grass?" Hong Lianshuo said with a light eyebrow and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Fighting with war?" Chen Zhongyuan asked suspiciously.

"One word: looting is looting." Hong Lianshuo said simply and bluntly, very rude!
"It would be great if there was food. The key is to fight year after year, natural and man-made disasters, and no one is farming. Where do you get the food?" Chen Zhongyuan said dejectedly.

"Then how to solve this ration?" Hong Lianshuo guessed vaguely.

Sure enough, Chen Zhongyuan said in a muffled voice, "Human flesh is used as military ration." As soon as these words came out, there was no sound in the dark room.

Chen Zhongyuan opened and closed his mouth, and then said, "Miss Hong, don't hold out too much hope for the grain storage in the city."

"Isn't this the capital? Is there no food in stock?" Hong Lianshuo asked again with hope.

"It was also in the hands of the gentry. It was surrounded for a month. I don't know how much is left." Chen Zhongyuan raised his messy eyebrows and said angrily. The Yi and Di are heavily guarded, and even a fly can't get in, let alone we can't get in!"

"Outside the city! Isn't there a Zhuangzi from a big family?" Hong Lianshuo suddenly remembered and said, "Hu Bing said that it came suddenly, and the people outside the city must have no time to evacuate. Can you expect food?"

"Miss Hong, let's escape first!" Chen Zhongyuan said with a wry smile.

"How's this weapon?" Hong Lianshuo asked with his deep star eyes looking at him.

Mentioning this, Chen Zhongyuan suddenly regained his vitality, "There are a hundred bows and arrows, and a thousand arrows."

"A lot!" Hong Lianshuo's dark pupils burst into a smile, "How about your archery skills? Can you penetrate Yang with a hundred steps?"

"Uh...this...that..." Chen Zhongyuan said hesitantly for a long time, "Not very good."

Hong Lianshuo said with little hope, "Can you hit the target?"

"Of course!" Chen Zhongyuan immediately straightened up and said, "How can I miss the target! No matter how bad it is, I can't!"

"Hmm!" the others nodded.

"Okay!" Hong Lianshuo said reluctantly, not missing the target, this hundred-step piercing Yang couldn't be practiced in a short time.

"How is the fighting strength of the [-] defenders left behind?" Hong Lianshuo asked with his dark eyes closed and not holding out much hope.

"Uh... the soldiers left behind are mostly children of the gentry." Chen Zhongyuan said with an open mouth.

"Master Soldier!" Hong Lianshuo rolled his eyes and snorted coldly.

"Yes!" Chen Zhongyuan said angrily.

"That means there is no hope." Hong Lianshuo said rudely, and then said again, "Aren't they struggling to the death? They are willing to be killed like this."

"How can this struggle to be pampered on weekdays, unable to open a bow, unable to ride a horse." Chen Zhongyuan said unabashedly.

"What about the soldiers, servants, and servants of the nobility?" Hong Lianshuo asked hopefully, "You should have the strength!"

"Being surrounded for a month, everyone who is hungry is weak. Where does the strength come from?" Chen Zhongyuan said with great frustration.

This can't be asked any more, and if you continue to ask, you will die.
