Chapter 321: Grain
Li Ziyu felt a little sorry for them now, she seemed to have seen her comrades-in-arms in her previous life.
These people are the pillars or pillars of a country, and their heads are hung on their belts every day, and the guys who eat may not be there at any time.
However, even if his life was threatened, he still had to endure the pain of hunger. It seems that the food I bought is not much, and it will not be long to eat like this.
Li Ziyu was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks while thinking about where to buy some food.
Ren Xiaohang walked up to him and whispered, "I have already asked Wu Fan to buy food, don't worry, there will be food." ”
Well? Li Ziyu looked at Ren Xiaohang in a daze, and asked strangely, "How do you know that I'm worried about food?" ”
Ren Xiaohang replied to the question: "I don't need to cook in the future, I will arrange the cooking." ”
After speaking, Ren Xiaohang turned around and went to the bunker at the door.
Although Li Ziyu made a bed in the east wing, Ren Xiaohang still chose to rest in the bunker at the door.
Because everyone in the village followed them to Zhangkou Town, and the family's new house and old house were vacant, Li Ziyu made a new arrangement and placed Ren Xiaohang's subordinates in the old and new houses one by one, and the bedding was also ready-made.
Ren Xiaohang was not suitable to live in the same courtyard with Li Ziyu again, so Li Ziyu arranged him in the courtyard where Mrs. Fu once lived, and of course several of his subordinates.
This is all thanks to the women in the village, who knew that they were leaving, but they still dutifully finished the work in hand. Although the number is still not enough, at least there is still a surplus of two people and one bed.
Li Ziyu didn't sleep. She was still thinking about the group of people who didn't come back and were still hungry.
Soon after the group of people who had finished eating left, the group returned. Of course, it was another gobbling up, and I went to rest after eating and drinking.
Li Ziyu returned to the house where she lived and squinted for a while. Just listen to the movement outside.
Now in this main house, only Li Ziyu is herself. Although the house is now full of guards, Li Ziyu is used to plugging in the door when sleeping, which is a habit developed in modern times.
Li Ziyu got up suddenly, and when he walked out of the house, he found that it was already dawn.
In front of the courtyard of the main house, there stood a handsome and pretty woman. Li Ziyu took a closer look, and it turned out to be Wu Fan's wife Qi Xiaomei. Although she looked tired on her face, it did not affect her capable temperament at all.
This made Li Ziyu overjoyed and hurriedly opened the door. He shouted happily: "Auntie, why are you here at this time?" Come on in, haven't eaten yet, I'm going to do it. ”
Qi Xiaomei said as she walked inside, "No need to go. The chef has been arranged to do it. You just have to wait and eat ready-made food in the future. ”
"Really? That's good, I don't like to cook. Auntie, why are you just yourself? What about uncle? And what about the younger siblings? ”
When Li Ziyu saw Qi Xiaomei, she remembered the fresh, elegant and cool Wu Xuepu, and the neat little beauty Wu Xuemin, although there was only one side, Li Ziyu was deeply impressed, and liked the two children from the bottom of her heart.
"They've all gone to the house in Zhangkou Town. There we bought a house a long time ago. This time, the master asked us to be responsible for the transportation of grain and grass, mainly to provide the daily food of the masters. We also brought a group of chefs and apprentices who had worked as chefs in the restaurant before. Responsible for three meals a day. ”
Qi Xiaomei knew that Li Ziyu had a lot of things, and the master also wanted to free her from trivial matters and do some serious things.
Li Ziyu does have a lot of things, and the first thing is to prepare gunpowder.
Now that the war is at a critical juncture, the demand for grenades will increase and the consumption will be very fast.
At present, Li Ziyu's top priority is to prepare gunpowder, and it is estimated that Wang Tiehammer will also come to get it.
Qi Xiaomei and Li Ziyu entered the east room as they spoke, looked inside and out, and were amazed by the heaters installed in her house.
In the end, I chose the bed in the outer room, and lay down without seeing the outside, and after a while, I snored.
Li Ziyu shook off a quilt, gently covered her, and quietly withdrew.
Looking at Qi Xiaomei's state, I knew that she definitely didn't sleep all night last night. Alas, it's really too hard to work under Ren Xiaohang.
It's just hard work, and sometimes even hungry, which is the most unbearable thing. Hopefully, the situation will improve in the future.
Li Ziyu closed the door of the house and walked out of the yard, she wanted to see how many carts of food Wu Fan and his wife had brought, and where Ren Xiaohang was going to put it.
Unexpectedly, when she went out of the courtyard and looked west, a carriage full of grain was quietly parked on the bluestone road, as if waiting for her to settle down.
Wu Fan's slightly tired face showed a smile when he saw Li Ziyu, and said apologetically, "Woke you up, right?" Your aunt is tired. You see, this grain, the master said to let you watch the arrangement. ”
"Okay, I'll open the door, Uncle Wu, come with me." Li Ziyu was not polite, and walked directly to the back warehouse with the convoy.
However, when Li Ziyu saw the carriage loaded with grain, her eyes widened suddenly.
Looking out of the bluestone road in front of you, the convoy has lined up outside the gate, how much food is this! Can her family put it down?
Wu Fan seemed to see Li Ziyu's worries, and said as he walked: "The master plans to pick up the eldest master, there are still nearly 20,000 people there, not to mention anything else, the food must meet the supply." This is only the first batch, and there will be a second, third, and even fourth and fifth batches in the future, so you have to be mentally prepared for your niece. ”
"I see." Li Ziyu sighed secretly, admiring Ren Xiaohang in her heart.
In fact, a war is not so much a contest on the battlefield as a struggle for logistical supplies. Once the battle line is extended, if the supply of grain and grass is not available, the generals who are capable of fighting will not be sure to win the battle. The Liao army is a typical example.
Aren't the Liao army strong? It can be said that the soldiers are strong and strong, and the momentum is like a rainbow, and there is a momentum of connecting the three cities with great strength.
If the grain and grass are strong, maybe even Changdong Town, a hundred miles away, and Zhangkou Town, dozens of miles away, will be captured by him.
Could it be that Ren Xiaohang had already prepared for the lack of food and grass? So much grain and grass prepared in the back?
Li Ziyu secretly opened the warehouses one by one, and Wu Fan immediately led people to unload the truck and move grain. However, even though every warehouse was full, it was still not loaded.
There was no way, Li Ziyu had to put the remaining grain in the carport to the east. I thought that so many warehouses would definitely be enough for my own family, but I didn't expect that the warehouses would become warehouses in the army, which is definitely not enough.
It seems that we should seize the time to build another barn against the wall in the west, so that if we have more food, the 20,000 people will not have a food shortage when they come.
These coachmen drove the carriage straight out of Li Ziyu's house without stopping for a moment.
Although Li Ziyu knew that these people were doing things for Ren Xiaohang, she was still a little embarrassed and said to Wu Fan: "Uncle Wu, you can eat some food before leaving, you must have traveled all night, and it was too hard." ”
Wu Fan said indifferently: "No, we hurry back to Changdong Town now." There is a house for us to rest, and when we get there, let's eat and rest. ”
After saying that, he also jumped into a carriage and followed the vehicle out.
Li Ziyu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Hey, wait, you left my aunt behind!" ”
Wu Fan said with a smile: "She came to your house this time, and she won't go back with me." Big niece, I'm leaving, don't worry, the master is here, it will be very safe. ”
