99. 012 Slaughtering large households
Three into the big courtyard, you can see the scenery of the original master's house, but the master's house moved away with foresight just a few years ago.
When the Shihai garrison was in the town, they concentrated on the management of these empty houses, and the officers and soldiers under them were scattered everywhere.
Now Jiang Chuye needs an empty house, and the first thing he thinks of is this.
After a brief visit, Jiang Chuye was very satisfied with this place.
The surrounding area is open and easy to guard.
The courtyard wall is very high, and you can't see the inside when you close the door, which is also convenient for Meiniang to take things out.
As for the soldiers guarding the house, he is not worried, those people are only obedient to military orders, as long as an order is given, he is not afraid that someone will dare to leak it, not to mention that they will not know too much about guarding the outside.
The excuse of immortals, in an era when most people believe in ghosts and gods, it is really awe-inspiring and fearful, who is not afraid of annoying the gods and being punished?
As for how to put the grain inside, Jiang Chuye had already thought about it.
The key to the yard is in his hand, when do you want to put anything inconvenient in it?
On the same day, Jiang Chuye took Mei Niang and Yun Xuan to live in Niu Mansion, Jiang Chuye and Yun Xuan each chose a main room in the second courtyard, and Mei Niang lived in the innermost courtyard.
And according to Jiang Chuye's arrangement, the room where the gods gave food was in this courtyard, which also facilitated Mei Niang's actions.
Although she was the only one living in the huge courtyard, there were guards outside the walls, and she had nothing to fear.
It's just been out for a few days, and she doesn't know what happened to Lu Dao's family, but she is still quite worried, thinking that she will go back to see when the grain is ripe this time.
After settling down, Jiang Chuye went out, and Yun Xuan and Mei Niang moved two rocking chairs to sit in the courtyard and drink tea.
Drinking tea and basking in the afternoon sun on a rare leisurely day, both of them were drowsy.
When Jiang Chu came back at night, he saw the brother and sister who were sleeping heavily, and gently walked to Meiniang's side and woke her up.
didn't wait for Mei Niang to speak, made a silent gesture, and then motioned for Mei Niang to go with her.
There are only three people here, and he doesn't want to add Yun Xuan as an eyesore when he gets along with Mei Niang.
Besides, what he and Mei Niang were going to do next couldn't let Yun Xuan know.
When he came to the front yard, the carriage that Jiang Chu had driven at night had already stopped there, and there were two large bamboo baskets on it.
Jiang Chuye asked Mei Niang to fill one bamboo basket with fruits and the other with various vegetables, and then covered it with two straw curtains.
opened the side door, took Mei Niang and drove the carriage out.
"Where are we going?" Mei Niang knew that Jiang Chuye was taking her to buy vegetables and fruits, she just had nothing to say, and by the way, she contacted her feelings, otherwise the two of them would always be silent and boring.
Jiang Chu's night thief smiled, "Slaughter the big family." ”
Just looking at Jiang Chuye's expression, Mei Niang began to mourn in silence for the big family who was going to be slaughtered, seeing that he was not slaughtered if he was not peeled into the skin like this.
The carriage went all the way, and many people stopped to watch.
Although the car was covered with a straw curtain, they could also guess that there was food in the car, and at this time, what else was worth covering so tightly besides food?
And that horse, it's so strong, how many times do you know how many times has it been killed?
There were all kinds of expressions on their faces, but when they saw the officers and soldiers carrying weapons coming and going on the road, none of them dared to come up and put their ideas into practice.
Some time ago, there was a lot of chaos in the town, there were robberies and murders everywhere, and even dragged the living people home to kill and eat, but since Shi Hai led the troops to station, he used a heavy punishment to kill some people who took advantage of the chaos to rob and hurt people, and the atmosphere in the town has improved a lot.
What's more, Shi Hai also gave porridge for disaster relief, although the mushy was not full, but in the end he was hungry and would not die.
Most people are reluctant to take risks as long as they live.
Besides, since yesterday, some of the food distributed by the officers and men has been dry, and after more than a year, they have finally had a full meal.
I also heard that the food was given by the gods, and the gods were thinking about them, and a better day would definitely come, who would be willing to take risks?
Therefore, although Jiang Chuye and Mei Niang's carriage was coveted by many people, they still arrived at their destination safely and entered through the side door.
There are people in charge who bring people over to help unload the car, and there is no need for Jiang Chuye and Meiniang to do it.
As soon as the straw curtain was lifted, bursts of fruity and vegetable aromas wafted out, and even the steward, who was accustomed to seeing the world, couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Now that the weather is dry, it is not easy to grow anything, and it is a good life to be able to eat tofu every day, and he has not seen such a fresh and tender dish for a long time.
A few days ago, the old man heard that the Huangfu bought vegetables at a large price, and his eyes were red with envy.
Calling these stewards over and scolding them is nothing more than that they are incompetent, why can the housekeepers of the Huangfu buy vegetables, but they can't buy them?
You must know that in this town, his grandfather is one of the largest families, and there are more than 20 people in the nursing home alone.
Like the murderers who came to grab food some time ago, they didn't take advantage.
Unexpectedly, he was in a hurry here, so someone took the initiative to come to do business with him, and there were not only all kinds of dishes, but also fruits that even the master of Huangfu had not eaten.
If these are shown to the master, he should rise up in this stewardship.
However, this price is really expensive enough, a pound and a tael of silver, isn't this like robbing?
But what people say is good, vegetables and fruits are planted by gods, and there is a reason why they are expensive.
The steward also heard about the food given by the gods, and he originally didn't believe it, how could there be such a miraculous thing?
Besides, how can you take out the things given by the gods?
But, when he saw these two baskets of things, he really believed it.
Not to mention a disaster year, even in a good year, he has never seen such good vegetables and fruits, all of them are like jade carvings, and the aroma is unusual.
Besides, is it possible to grow this kind of vegetable and this kind of fruit in this season?
Since it is a thing planted by the gods, is it expensive to pay a pound or a tael of silver?
Yes, of course...... Not expensive!
Not only is it not expensive, but it is also quite cheap, but the things grown by the gods can be eaten by mortals?
The steward and Jiang Chuye looked at it almost while saying that he could take the things given by the gods and sell them, this person must have an unusual relationship with the immortals, at least he is also a half-immortal.
If he gets an elixir or something, he won't have a chance to become an immortal.
It's just that Jiang Chuye didn't even glance at him except for staring at him with two eyes.
He endures, whoever lets him say that the gods are arrogant, and he, a little mortal, still can't get into the eyes of the gods.
But it's not wrong to say too many good things, his two lips flew, which really made Jiang Chuye's face a lot better, as for no longer being cold and scary.
The vegetables and fruits were weighed, a total of two hundred and thirteen catties, and the steward asked people to take two hundred and twenty taels and hand them to Jiang Chuye, but Jiang Chuye accepted them unceremoniously.
Mei Niang really didn't expect these dishes to sell at such a high price, and last time she sold more than 600 catties of vegetables for 90 taels.
