Plane Mall: I became a group favorite by hoarding goods

After Shen Xingluo resigned from the Hanlin Academy, he walked towards his home. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw a lively scene.

Cheng Xi was taking two girls to wash and clean 100 duck eggs in several basins. Some were stained with water droplets, some were soaked in clean water, and another wave was being cleaned by them with a small brush. There were several jars of wine and spices scattered nearby.

He knew that he got 100 duck eggs by signing in today. After all, the two of them shared the system and villa space, and could see every move of the other party, but the current scene still puzzled him.

"What is this doing?"

"Pickled duck eggs."

Cheng Xi blinked at him, "I went out today and met a guy selling salted duck eggs. I bought them all because they looked good."

"Sister-in-law must feel that this little brother is pitiful and wants to help."

Shen Xingqi really believed someone's casual comment, "I don't know how long I have been saving them, but there are a full 100 of them. They will go bad if left for a long time, so I have to pickle them."

Shen Xingluo glanced at the two dazzling jars of wine.

"Do you need wine to pickle salted duck eggs?"

Then I have to call him a drunkard.

"Brother, you don't know this. Salted duck eggs are not easy to pickle. If you want them to taste so good, you have to work hard, right, sister-in-law?"

"Yes, Master Shen, just wait and eat."

Seeing that he was still wearing the dark red official uniform, Cheng Xi sent someone, "It will be a while before we can eat. You go and have tea with Master first."

"Then you guys are busy first."

After Shen Xingluo left, the three people's scrubbing task also came to an end, waiting to dry all the duck eggs.

Then wrap the duck eggs in a ring of high-quality white wine and let them dry.

"Okay, just cook the sauce as I told you, let it cool, and then pour it into the jar."

Shen Xingqi brought a large vat, and Wang Shu had already mixed the required seasonings according to the proportions. He simmered the pot for a while and let it cool again. After half an hour of tossing, all the duck eggs were marinated.

100 duck eggs just fill a tank, and the rest can only be waited for.

If it weren't for the fact that this vat had passed a famous road in front of the Shen family, Cheng Xi would have really wanted to take advantage of the time difference and move it into the space.

In the following days, Shen Xingluo went to the Hanlin Academy step by step. During work, he dived into the classics and after work, he chatted with Shang Feng and his colleagues. The two groups of people in the court argued endlessly about "how to provide disaster relief." It is said that the Confucian scholars in the hall War of words happens every day.

Because there are refugees staying outside the capital, the female relatives in the city have also reduced the number of times they go to the streets. A few people in the Shen family courtyard occasionally go out for shopping and stay at home most of the time.

After seven or eight days of leisure, when all the yellow leaves on the trees had fallen, Shen Xingluo returned home with a condensed expression.

"what happened?"

In the study, Cheng Xi made tea for him. The hot air slowly rose, and Shen Xingluo's expression became even more gloomy.

"This morning, various state capitals reported that the number of refugees has soared. Prime Minister Zhou said that he was afraid that there would be riots that would require military force to suppress them, and he did not recommend opening warehouses to release grain. His Majesty agreed."

"Mr. Jiang didn't win the argument?"

Shen Xingluo shook his head, "There is not much storage in granaries in various places, and the snow disaster consumes a lot in half a year. What the Holy Emperor is more worried about is that he cannot suppress the riots."

"That's true."

The heart of an emperor really cares more about political control.

Cheng Xi sighed, "The more food is not released, the more violent the situation becomes. People are more likely to rebel when they are hungry. At that time, a single move can affect the whole body. It is simply a vicious cycle."

etc.
"How was it resolved in the previous life?"
