Chapter 187: Canned Fruit

Seeing that Chi Yue conjured up such a good thing like a trick, and the small tomato was something that no one had ever eaten, and the cucumber should not be there now...... Everyone only thinks that she is either a god or a demon.

After being stunned for a while, these hungry people did not dare to come forward to grab food.

The woman who was crying just now stopped crying, rushed up regardless of it, knelt down in front of Chi Yue, and choked up: "No matter what it is, as long as it is food, please give me some and save my child!" ”

Chi Yue gave the woman a small tomato and told her to chew it and send it to the child's mouth.

Seeing more than a dozen persimmons enter the child's mouth, the child's cheeks twitched more and more, and in the end, he was able to chew it by himself obviously, his eyes opened slightly, and he turned around!

Seeing that Chi Yue was leaving, the woman gently put down her son, and crawled over to bow down and give thanks.

The further I went, the more I saw the scenes of starvation and begging for mercy, and Chi Yuexin became more and more painful.

If it weren't for the fear that her "witchcraft" would frighten everyone and make Gu Hantong and the others suspicious, she wanted to bring out all the food in the space and help these poor people. Or simply take everyone to the space and let them eat enough without any scruples......

She didn't know that even if Gu Han and the silhouette didn't open their mouths to ask, they were already full of questions in their hearts, and they regarded her as a mystery.

Although Chi Yue's package had not been seen by them with their own eyes, many days had passed along the way, if she had bought something halfway, how could they not know? And the small tomatoes and cucumbers are clearly sold by her alone, and there is no place at all, obviously she brought them out from her home in Wuxiang Village. Why don't you give them food when you bring them out?

And her package, which was originally shriveled and only intimate clothing, suddenly swelled up and conjured up so much food?

Could it be that she really knows how to do witchcraft?

Although there are doubts, but this doubt is not only a day or two, but since the pond has grown so many out-of-season vegetables and fruits, and people can't see where she planted and cultivated, there was at that time. It was because of the shock of the two that they were not as big as the others, and they did not immediately open their mouths to inquire.

Although Silhouette had long wanted to ask Chi Yue what was going on, without Gu Han's instructions, he resolutely did not dare to act rashly, just suppressing his curiosity in his chest, torturing him so much that he was itching.

When I arrived at the city gate, I saw that the pontoon bridge was really hanging high, and between the victims and the city gate, a deep moat about ten zhang wide was blocked, as if blocking the abyss, so that people could only look at the other side and sigh.

The boatman took advantage of the situation to prosper at this time, and the silhouette stepped forward to inquire about the price, and this trip actually asked for two taels of silver per person!

No wonder these penniless victims could not squeeze out so much money and enter the city.

When he was about to take the boat to the other side, Gu Han suddenly opened his mouth and asked the boatman: "Do all the two taels of silver you collected belong to you?" ”

Chi Yue only felt that this question was very funny, this silver did not belong to the boatman, could it still be obtained by others?

No, the boatman seemed to have met a person who rarely understood him, and sighed: "It would be nice if this was the case, but the few adults on the top are not enough to exploit us, how can they give us the opportunity to earn so much silver on their territory?" What we got was only 500 wen, so what about the rest...... The person who collects the money is the person in the government, so you naturally want to find where to go. ”

The gates of the city were full of officers and soldiers guarding, and the boatman didn't say much, but said a word or two, and when he got to the shore, he collected the money and went back immediately.

Chi Yue was angry and muttered: "This bastard Futai not only ignored the victims, but also took the opportunity to ask for the silver taels from passers-by, but it really got into the eyes of money, and his conscience was gnawed by dogs!" ”

Looking at Chi Yue's angry appearance, Gu Han couldn't cry or laugh, and said with relief: "In the shadows of officialdom, you only see a little bit, if you see too much, you will be accustomed to it, and you will not be angry when you encounter such a thing." ”

What, could there be more infuriating than that? Chi Yue suddenly had a negative attitude towards the world.

Coming to the city gate, at Gu Han's signal, the silhouette showed Gu Han's token to the guards guarding the gate.

The guards knew that it was the famous King Rong, and immediately bowed down in a hurry, and the rest of the guards also knelt down one after another.

Soon after, Chi Yue followed Gu Han and came to the yamen of the Zhongjun Mansion and met Du Wenguang, the lord of the mansion.

Du Wenguang saluted respectfully to Gu Han, and treated him hospitably, before he smiled and said: "I learned that King Rong had already arrived in Baihua County, Minzhou Prefecture, and I thought that he must have passed by our Zhongjun Mansion, but King Rong did not reveal his identity earlier, so that the lower officials could entertain them, and the lower officials were really sorry." ”

"If it weren't for the fact that there are so many victims waiting for you to put food to fill your stomach, this king would not have worked hard to see you this time." Gu Han said it not salty or light, but there was clearly accusations and blames in it.

Du Wenguang didn't want Gu Han to come to him for this matter, so he was immediately stunned for a moment.

Just a moment later, his face became a little colder, and his smile was a little reluctant, "King Rong saw the unbearable situation of this mansion and heard the nonsense of those Diao people, so he believed that it was really this official who was cold-blooded and ruthless, and refused to give them food?" But I didn't know that this fact was a different story! ”

As he spoke, he showed an extremely aggrieved expression on his face, his brows furrowed tightly, and he sighed helplessly, "As early as the first two days of the flood, after this official learned that there were countless victims, he immediately reported to King Ye. King Ye was merciful, and immediately asked the official to open a warehouse and release grain to help the people. But since the official came to this county government, the grain collected for three years has been released, and it is not enough for the victims to make a living. After only three days, all the food in the warehouse was gone, but the group of victims still did not give up in front of the city gate day and night, insisting that we release food, but where can we find more food? ”

Du Wenguang sighed again, even more helpless, "King Ye had no choice but to play the emperor, this post has probably just arrived in the capital, and the emperor has not yet made a decision." I think that in a few days, the relief food will be distributed, and the life of the victims in the house will be better! ”

Chi Yue raised her eyebrows, obediently, there is a granary in the house, and the accumulated grain is exhausted in two or three days? It is difficult to support the people for a few days?

This statement is clearly very different from what the young boatman said before!

"Will you take me to the granary?" Gu Han was not afraid of trouble and said, "Seeing is believing, if it is really the food that is gone, but Diao Min still comes to persecute and disturb it, Lord Du, you have suffered this injustice, and you are really wronged." ”

Knowing that Gu Han didn't trust him, Du Wenguang couldn't ignore Gu Han's request, so he had to personally lead Gu Han and a few people to the granary of the mansion.

I have to say that this granary is really spacious enough, with twenty or thirty acres of land.

Such a large granary is empty, except for less than an acre of land, piled up with some scarce grain.

Du Wenguang said quite ashamedly: "The only thing left is to maintain the people in our government to survive." If even the people in our government are destroyed, this kind of county government will really be completely finished! ”

As he spoke, he wiped the corners of his eyes with care, looking like a good person who was compassionate and compassionate.

Gu Han looked around and left without saying a word.

Du Wenguang wanted to keep Gu Han to rest in the house, but Gu Han refused, so Du Wenguang had to give up. After sending Gu Han away, he immediately went to King Ye's mansion and reported to King Ye about Gu Han's arrival.

Chi Yue and Gu Han found an inn to live in, sat in the private room and waited for the meal, Chi Yue frowned, looking very distressed.

"You girl, what are you doing with a sad face?" Gu Han flicked his fingers on Chi Yue's forehead lightly, and Chi Yue's forehead was bounced around.

She sighed, "I thought, those victims are so pitiful. Originally, I thought I was the most pitiful in the world, but it was really a shame to meet them. ”

When Gu Han heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh. This woman is more pitiful than anyone?

"Don't worry, one day, I will ask you to compare yourself with others, who is happier." Gu Han swore and swore that he had secretly made up his mind in his heart.

Chi Yue only thought that Gu Han was comforting herself, and didn't think about it anywhere else, and smiled at him, "Gu Han, you're so good." ”

Gu Han was fascinated by her bright smile, and looked at her in a daze.

In the early spring, there is not much fresh food in the inn at this time, except for radish and cabbage, which are easy to preserve varieties such as pickled vegetables and dried vegetables.

Chi Yue tasted the stir-fried meat with plum vegetables, which was clearly sour and astringent, which made people very appetizing at a glance, but when she thought of the victims outside the city gate who couldn't even eat wild vegetables, she lost her appetite and simply put down her chopsticks.

Looking at the pickled beans, peppers, celery and bamboo shoots, she was inspired.

There is no food to be taken out in the government now, and there are not so many vegetables, so they cannot make a living like food, and melons and fruits are even more scarce. But wouldn't it be a beautiful thing if she made canned melons and fruits in the space so that people could fill their stomachs temporarily?

Not only is the canned food delicious, but it is not very cold when cooked, and even if you eat too much, it will not cause the victims who have nothing in their stomachs to suffer from abdominal pain.

And because of the soup, accompanied by the pulp, it can also replace the meal to fill the stomach.

Because the canned food is sterilized and sealed, the shelf life is much longer than that of normal fruits, and it is not easy to rot.

She thought excitedly, planning to go back to her room after dinner to study the experiment. In addition to being excited, he unconsciously showed a bright smile.

Gu Han on the other side saw that she inexplicably changed from sorrow to smile, and in addition to being frightened, he only wondered.

I wonder what she thought of to have such a rapid change of face?

Chi Yue caught a glimpse of Gu Han's suspicious expression, and immediately woke up, trying her best to maintain her composure.

Thinking about it carefully, if he made canned fruit here, wouldn't he have openly revealed the secret to Gu Han so that he could know it all?

That's tantamount to stripping yourself naked for others to see!

But if not, would we have watched the people starve to death by the roadside in these days of waiting?

She frowned and thought about it, not knowing what to do.
