After evacuating the enemy's warehouse, carry supplies through the disaster year

Chapter 55
Within three days, Ziyu wandered all over the streets and alleys of Xin'an County, giving up all hope for this county with a population of less than 2000 people.

The pitifully small number of soldiers and yamen servants combined is less than 20, and none of them are in their prime.

The equipment is even more tattered, and even the matching knife is rusty.

The county magistrate's family has to rely on their own farming to feed themselves, let alone the people under them.

This is also the reason why Ziyu can't see soldiers and government servants, who is willing to do his best if he doesn't pay his salary for three years.

There is not even a decent inn or restaurant in the city, so the degree of poverty can be imagined.

...

At noon, Ziyu left 100 taels for the county magistrate for board and lodging expenses, and 20 taels for Jia Shuli for hard work.

Returning to the voyage with 2000 recruits, five calves, and more than [-] catties of vegetables.

A group of people swayed on the boat with longing and apprehension, because no one knew where they were going next.

"Mother, where are we going? Will we be sold by the nobleman?" Shi Daniu, who was sitting on the deck, asked Shi Liu in a low voice.

"Don't make a sound, there is a county magistrate as a guarantee, nothing will happen."

In Shi Liu's eyes, the county magistrate is the biggest official, and the noble man should listen to the county magistrate!

"Mom, I really want to eat meat. It would be great if I could get two pieces of meat. I'll eat one and keep one." Shi Erniu said yearningly, drooling.

"Shut up! Mother just said not to make a sound, and you forgot again!"

Shi Daniu stretched out his hand to pinch his greedy younger brother, although he was also drooling with greed, but he wouldn't say it.

Shi Liu, who was dressed in a patched suit, sighed, and held tightly to his two sons who were dressed in shabby clothes.

In order to let the old snacks have a full meal, she also went all out this time.

The days of not having enough to eat and not to wear warm clothes are too hard. Although Niang San has no skills, she has no problem doing hard work.

...

In the middle of the next day, a group of people stood in Daxia Bay, looking at the desolate place curiously.

"Mom, so many fish are jumping!"

Shi Erniu exclaimed in surprise, but Shi Daniu on the side covered his mouth.

Only their family was on the deck, and the nobleman must have arranged this way for fear that they would be bullied.

You can't let the bluffing Er Niu offend the nobles by talking too much.

"Boss, do you know where this is?" Old man Hu asked suspiciously.

As a native of Xin'an County, how come he has never heard of such a place.

When they came, they were all arranged in the warehouse, and they didn't know the route outside.

"Father, we walked for a day and a night by water, and this place is definitely not within the scope of Xin'an County.

Don't worry about it when you are old, just think about how much work you can do!
There are so many people who can build houses here, although everyone knows each other, there will definitely be comparisons. "Hu Dayou said worriedly.

"I have been learning to build houses with your grandfather since I was ten years old. Who in Xin'an County can surpass me in technology." Old Man Hu said proudly.

40 years of experience, not by mouth.

...

"Take your own luggage, line up and follow me, and move quickly.

After working for a while, you can still catch lunch. " Shengxing stood on a rock and shouted loudly.

It is not possible for so many people to settle down in a short while.

It would be better to let them all go to work for a while and talk about it after lunch.

Ziyu, who got off the boat first, didn't care about the details, and walked towards Xiao Luo who was rushing towards her.

"Brother, I didn't cry!"

"Xiao Luo is so good, my brother said he would be back in a few days, and he did!

Tell me about what you have done these days! "

Ziyu lifted the little guy who was holding on to her leg, making him giggle.

The helpers never expected that the noble young man in their eyes would have such a gentle side.

"Fighting crabs, roasting prawns, playing with sand, and little bunnies..."

Xiao Luo, who was leaning against Ziyu's arms, counted on his fingers what he had done in the past few days.

"My little Luo has done so many things, will it be very hard!" Ziyu asked jokingly.

Xiao Luo held Ziyu's face solemnly, and spoke in a childlike voice.

"It's not hard, brother goes out to earn money, it's even harder.

Xiao Luo has to be obedient. "

"Mu~a, Xiao Luo is so good, who taught you!" Ziyu kissed the little guy's pretty face and smiled.

"Brother Hong taught me, I sleep with him at night, over there!"

Ziyu looked in the direction of Xiao Luo's finger, and next to their small tent, a shack was built with wood.

Cheng Yuanju ran over with the three little ones, and followed behind Ziyu step by step.

"Cheng Yuanju, take them to pick vegetables, there are a lot of people eating today, you take them to help in the kitchen."

"Yes, Master!"

Cheng Yuanju, who was officially assigned the task, happily agreed, and ran away pulling Cheng Yuanshu.

Chen Xiaoshan stood there without moving for a while, looking at Ziyu eagerly.

"Chen Xiaoshan, you and Sheng Xianger are going too, and Xiao Luo will stay with me for now."

Chen Xiaoshan didn't run away with Cheng Yuanju, Ziyu was quite satisfied with that.

At least, he still remembered what his mission was.

"Yes, Master!"

Chen Xiaoshan was so excited that he couldn't restrain the smile on his face. After running for two steps, he realized that Sheng Xiang'er hadn't followed, and he came back and ran along with him.

Ziyu shook her head and laughed, as expected of a child's nature, even Sheng Xiang'er who had learned the rules.

She hugged Xiao Luo and followed, only to see Bao Jiu leading the women cleaning up fish, shrimps and wild animals under the cliff as tall as a person, and even two embroiderers were also helping.

There are eight big pots lined up, cooking porridge with steaming heat.

"Brother Bao has worked hard!"

"It's not hard work, it's not hard work, it's the hard work of my little brother who runs before and after, and I, a big bastard, only have this little ability.

Brother, come here and let me tell you something! "Bao Jiu beckoned to Ziyu.

"What's wrong!"

The strong fishy smell hit her nose, but Ziyu stood side by side with Bao Jiu without changing her face.

"Little brother, with so many people, eating fine grains every day is not a problem!
No matter how big the family is, they can't eat like this. They have to find a way to get some whole grains to go with it. "

Bao Jiusheng was afraid that Ziyu would not understand, so he explained in detail.

"The people who eat now, plus the children, there are 110 six people per meal.

The daily grain consumption cannot be less than [-] catties, and this is still the case of cooking porridge.

Seafood and game are eaten openly, and enough oil and water can save some food.

But after a long time, there is no output here, and it will be very troublesome if the food cannot be received.

There are so many people here today, food consumption is at least [-] catties a day, this is not a small sum..."

Ziyu was very moved when she heard Bao Jiu's sincere words, and smiled.

"Brother's words, younger brother wrote it down.

Did Big Brother Bao ever think about staying? The kitchen is really hard to leave without you. "

Ziyu saw that although there were a lot of things in the temporary kitchen, it was well organized, and there was no wasted food in the garbage dump.

Compared with the serious waste of later generations, this is already very rare.
