Chapter 299: Food Crisis
readx;?“ No, no, anyway, Miss is the head of the class, you have the final say. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Uncle Wang hurriedly shook his hand and said.
"Okay. So be it. Lan Caidie reached out and covered her mouth and yawned, not sleeping well all night. I used a lot of mental and physical strength in the morning, and when I fell asleep at this time, I couldn't take care of anything.
Lan Caidie went back to sleep, and Ye Yu almost finished his breakfast that had already been cold, and started a peaceful life again.
Ye Yu actually doesn't need Meng Xiaoshuang to serve by her side, sometimes she can do whatever she wants, as long as she doesn't leave the house, she rarely cares. However, since he needs to pretend to be his demented wife, he has a lot less freedom in his actions, especially since there are four female slaves in the family who were bought back, and there are many people, before deciding to pretend to be Yu Zhe, Ye Yu signed a forced slave contract for four people as the master, and he can keep track of the movements of these people at any time.
This ensures that the four will not betray and betray themselves. If there was no this, Ye Yu would not dare to take such a risk to pretend to be others, after all, those female slaves who were bought knew a little bit, as long as they were caught by Chen Xinkai's people and asked, the truth would be revealed, so Ye Yu had to control these four people. Let them be obedient and obedient, and dare not betray themselves and say anything that should not be said!
In the past, at this time, the little witch of the demon moon always pestered Ye Yu to teach her calligraphy, and later after the relationship cooled down, the little witch practiced her sword desperately, and now the flowers and plants in the yard suffered, but fortunately, it was the winter when the grass and trees withered, otherwise, this sin would be great.
Meng Xiaoshuang, this girl's needlework is very good. The craftsmanship of making clothes is top-notch. Comparable to a generation of tailor masters, Ye Yu's current clothes. Including underwear and pants, they are all from the skillful hands of this hidden saint's granddaughter, such as Ye Yu's Tang costume, as well as the fur fur and robes are all her handiwork, the cut is decent, ingenious, she is not a tailor, being a hermit is really insulting this talent!
The only drawback, these two girls don't know how to cook, one used to be at home, clothes to stretch out their hands, food to open their mouths, the other has never eaten their own cooking, grew up eating hundreds of meals, as long as they are not caught, it seems that they have never been starved to death, unless he is no longer capable of being a hermit!
Ye Yu's ability to cook is also very lacking, he used to cook instant noodles or something, extend it up, there should be no problem in cooking noodles, and then it is a fried egg, and nothing else, his last life is similar to the little witch of the demon moon, so the three of them live together, and they can't come back without buying a few slaves!
After Lan Caidie came over, he let Ye Yu and the others have oral administration, and the food made by the people is not very good, it is comparable to the incense made by the chef who specially matched Lan Caidie in the theater troupe, since it is a place to live, it can't be without a little expression, give it to the gold leaf, it also looks tacky, Ye Yu will definitely not accept it, so this guy is on board.
The official partner is Lan Caidie at noon on the second day of moving in, there are a total of four people at dinner, three women and one man, Ye Yu is naturally in the main position as the host, Lan Caidie is the guest, according to the guest position, the little witch of the demon moon and the pseudo-lady Meng Xiaoshuang are accompanied.
The dishes are simple, but they look very tempting, with bright colors and aromas.
Although Demon Moon was dressed as a maid, she seemed to be the hostess, looking at the blue butterfly condescendingly, like a proud little peacock.
"Lan Caidie, Miss Ben doesn't know what purpose you used to approach my Brother Ye, but there is one thing, you have to remember, don't scratch your head in front of Brother Ye just because you have a bit of posture, our Brother Ye won't eat your set!"
What is our family's, yours's, this little witch of the demon moon is talking more and more upside down, Ye Yu hurriedly hid his face and coughed a few times, a little embarrassed.
Lan Caidie was a little surprised, but she had already seen that the identity of this beautiful girl in a maid's costume seemed to be very noble, and even she had just learned that a certain person surnamed Ye deliberately tolerated her, obviously her identity was unusual, plus Ye Yu said that her identity was not worse than Yu Zhe's arrogant words, she couldn't help but think about it in her mind!
"Yue'er, don't talk nonsense, the Lan family is now a guest of Brother Ye, how can you say that about her?" Ye Yu could see a trace of embarrassment on Lan Caidie's face. Hurriedly stood up and said, "Don't blame everyone Lan, Yue'er was spoiled by her parents when she was a child, that's her temper!"
"I didn't know until now that the original Taoist friend's surname was Ye, and I was offended a lot before. Lan Caidie said sincerely, at least she saw that Ye Yu had done something unreasonable by pretending to be Yu Zhe's name, and Ye Yu seemed to be out of the door all day. A hermit who doesn't step into the door, and there seems to be hostility towards her. The angry maid, the well-behaved and sweet but detached Mrs. Ye, is a weird combination.
"Everyone Lan is polite, blame me for being negligent and not telling everyone Lan their true identity!" Ye Yu said apologetically.
Lan Caidie naturally had a straight face, she had been curious about the identities of Ye Yu and the three of them since she received the invitation of Marquis Chen Xinkai, and it was only now that she began to unveil the real veil. This is also one of the real purposes of her trip to Chiyan City.
"In fact, with the intelligence of the Lan family, it should be easy to guess my identity. Ye Yu said with a smile, and pushed the mystery to Lan Caidie herself, as if she had the intention of testing her.
Lan Caidie was stunned for a moment, and then started to think about it, during this time, she has been pouring her heart into the tour, rarely or only occasionally paying attention to some outside things. The news of the opera troupe is also relatively well-informed, so as long as it is a major event that happens in various parts of the cultivation realm, she still knows about important things.
The first thing that comes to mind is the enemy of the Xuanwu Xiuzhen Kingdom, and the feud of the Xuanwu Xiuzhen Kingdom is the Qinglong Xiuzhen Kingdom, and this Chiyan City was snatched from the Qinglong Xiuzhen Kingdom thirty years ago. Then this person surnamed Ye is most likely a person from the Qinglong Cultivation True Kingdom!
In the first step, Lan Caidie guessed correctly.
Followed by his identity is not lower than Yu Zhe, although Yu Zhe's identity is only a commoner, his reputation is far and wide, even the average family nobles can not be compared, obviously this person surnamed Ye is very likely to be a family noble, and it is not an ordinary family noble!
From the brow on Lan Caidie's face that gradually soothed, Ye Yu knew that she would soon have an answer.
"I guess that Ye Daoyou should be the one who was seriously injured in the duel with the Perfect Business Alliance to worship Ma Huayuan Martial Saint and did not know a trace, Ye Yuye Marquis, right?" Two clear gazes shot straight at Ye Yu.
"Everyone Lan is really wise. I am the Heaven Tearing Demon Lord Ye Yu who is rumored to be a murderer without blinking!" Ye Yu smiled and nodded.
Lan Caidie's eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise. She also heard a lot of negative news about the Heaven Tearing Demon Lord on this tour, and she had also guessed what kind of fierce god and evil man this Sky Tearing Demon Lord was, but she didn't expect that this evil man was close at hand, and she couldn't see the appearance of a wicked person at all, except that it made her feel a little "palpitating" and a little "evil".
"Why, Lan don't believe it?"
"No, I believe, it's just that you don't seem like the legendary kind of person?"
"With false rumors, I believe that rumors stop at the wise, and everyone Lan will not believe those false rumors, right?" Ye Yu smiled slightly.
"Rumors stop at the wise?" Lan Caidie muttered to herself, her heart was extremely surprised, no one had ever been able to say such incisive words, concise and clear, and the reason was so clear.
The Demon Moon Little Witch and Meng Xiaoshuang were already familiar with Ye Yu's "amazing words" every time, and their expressions were flat, so they were naturally not surprised.
After guessing Ye Yu's identity, it is not difficult to guess the identity of Princess Demon Moon, but Meng Xiaoshuang's identity is something that Lan Caidie can't guess anyway, but the identity of the Hidden Saint's granddaughter also surprised her greatly!
Although she knows the identities of the three people, the mystery in Lan Caidie's heart seems to have been solved, and there are many more, and the mystery is getting more and more said, stimulating her curiosity ** continues to increase!
......
In the winter of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-seven years of the Yanhuang calendar, the wasteland inhabited by the demon tribe in the north had a drought that had not been encountered in a hundred years, there was no rain for seven or eight consecutive months, the soil was dry and cracked, not a single inch of grass grows, many lakes have bottomed out, and even drinking water has become a huge difficulty, fortunately, before this, a lot of food was snatched back from Leshan Xiuzhen Country, so that the demon tribe temporarily lifted the food crisis, however, if the drought continues, then even if the entire Leshan Xiuzhen country is given to the demons, I am afraid it will be difficult to satisfy the appetite of the demons!
Drought is not only in the northern wasteland, and the northern countries bordering the wasteland have also had drought, the worst is the Leshan Xiuzhen country, the country has not rained for more than three months, especially in the northern Xinjiang, almost with the demon tribe to bear the same disaster, in the northern Xinjiang of the Leshan Xiuzhen country, in addition to the northern Xinjiang army that sticks to this, after the demon invasion, there is not much left of the common people.
After the only rations were snatched away by the demons, there was a drought in the fields, and the people who had no way to live left their homes one after another, dragging their children and daughters away from the homeland where they were born and raised, looking for a way out that would allow them to live, and even small-scale civil unrest had occurred in some places.
The northern countries were also nervously affected by the prolonged drought, and many of the hungry people in many small countries with insufficient food reserves began to move south, and gradually formed a huge flow of refugees.
To the countries in the central and southern part of the Blue Dragon Kingdom, these refugees were definitely a flood beast, and the damage they brought was no less than a natural disaster. Therefore, various localities have introduced similar policies that do not accept or restrict refugees from entering their own countries, and those countries that do not respond can be a disaster, and the influx of a large number of refugees can not help but bring great harm to the security of their own countries, and refugees have no food or clothing, so they can do anything. The food crisis is highlighted!
The consequence of the food crisis is the rapid increase in food prices, and Yeyu's new city has also been greatly affected. With the implementation of the "access system" in the city, the city only accepts people with labor skills or special skills to obtain the right to live temporarily, but the huge flow of refugees, as well as the appeal of a newly built city like the city, there are more and more refugees gathered outside the city, and Cheng Qing and others can't bear to watch these homeless refugees starve to death, as well as Liancheng Yuer. Many of the refugees are from Leshan Xiuzhen, so the original stored food is far from enough, and a large amount of food needs to be purchased again to survive this winter food crisis!
Qinglong Xiuzhen Country is not short of food, even if the price of food is soaring now, Qinglong Xiuzhen Country is still not short of food, but it can barely maintain a slight surplus of domestic needs, so it is not realistic to buy a large number of grain from Qinglong Xiuzhen Country.
The only way out is to buy grain from outside. The biggest grain merchant in the Qinglong Kingdom is none other than the Perfect Business Alliance, and the Perfect Business Alliance claims that as long as there is a Perfect Business Alliance, no one will starve to death!
But the Perfect Business Alliance and Ye Yu are mortal enemies, and they hate the Qingjiao Chamber of Commerce even more, how could Chen Haonan agree to sell the grain to Cheng Qing?
Therefore, Cheng Qing had no choice but to send someone to quietly go to other places to buy. But the Perfect Business Alliance did a great job, not only did the people sent out not buy a grain of grain, but even the funds for buying grain were robbed, and only a few ways to buy food were found, but a glass of water was drawn, and the food shortage was slowly approaching Cheng Qing and others who were far away in Tearing Heaven City!
The current food in the Tearing Heaven City can last until the end of this year at most, and it will take at least about three months to wait for the food in the coming year, and if there is no food in these three months, it will be almost nearly 100,000 people in the Tearing Heaven City and outside the Tearing Heaven City. And the number is still increasing. The Perfect Business Alliance is also secretly advocating for the refugees to go to the Tearing Heaven City, and spreading the news of the Tearing Heaven City to take in the refugees to the entire cultivation realm. Completely pushed the Sky Tearing City to the cusp!
At this time, if the city announced that it would not accept any refugees, it would definitely lose its reputation, even if it was overcrowded, it could only slow down the rate of population increase, but it still could not stop the continuous flow of refugees, increasing from dozens to hundreds of people every day!
By killing the wolf, Ye Yu learned about the food crisis that Tearing Sky City might face, and he also felt worried, this is something he has never encountered, solving his own food problem and solving other people's food problems are two completely different concepts, and the direction of considering the problem is naturally different.
From the perspective of immediate demand, the only way is to buy, but in the long run, there is no doubt that self-sufficiency comes to stability, the key is that it is not easy to buy now, with the rise in food prices, the price paid will naturally be higher.
