Chapter 196: Chain Reaction
"Oh, you are a palace maid with such a big breath, you can have a few taels of silver per month, you can know what this thousand taels mean"
If this is outside the palace, it is enough for her to buy a dozen fine silk yarns and heads
Su Xiaojiu smiled, "Since it is so precious, then please Zhaoyi put it away, don't fall on the road for a while, and blame us when you turn around." ”
Just as Xu Ying hugged Yun'er in again, Yun'er recognized at a glance that this was the bad aunt who bullied Sister Jiujiu that day, and kept waving her small fists at her, shouting "big, big" in her mouth.
Mu Qing'er didn't understand that Yun'er was going to hit her, so she stepped forward with a smile and shook his little fist, saying, "The four princes are so powerful, they can all say hello." ”
Xu Ying frowned and snatched Yun'er's little chubby hand back, "Why are you running here again, and you're idle every day?"
Mu Qing'er couldn't help but be embarrassed, it was hard to say that she was here to chase Concubine Rong to ask for debts, put the silver ticket close to her, raised her neck and said, "This palace wants to come to meet the imperial concubine, and you have to say hello to the county lord in advance."
After speaking, he put on a smiling face, turned to Concubine Rong and said, "Since the imperial concubine is going out, the concubine will not delay, and will retire first." ”
Today, the palace is full of money that she and the imperial concubine have not paid for it, but don't let the queen think that she has formed a party with the imperial concubine, she has to rush to Qiwu Palace first to hand over the fundraising.
Touching the extra five hundred taels of silver tickets, her face suddenly bloomed, this time she can't be so stupid, and let people take away a thousand taels at once.
After speaking, he ran away for fear that the imperial concubine would regret it.
Xu Ying looked at Su Xiaojiu, "Why is she smiling so happily, just like Wangcai picking up bones"
Wangcai is the new partner she recently found for Yun'er, a little milk dog, who was assigned to the small kitchen to guard the door just after confinement.
Concubine Rong chuckled, "Hmph, isn't it just that the dog has bones"
"Niangniang, are you going to Qiwu Palace now?"
Concubine Rong glanced at Su Xiaojiu, "What's the hurry, I'll go after eating." ”
"Then the slave went to prepare a meal, what does the mother want to eat?"
Concubine Rong still couldn't think of it, "You can watch and do it yourself, just get something." ”
Xu Ying was hungry all morning, just went to the small kitchen to take a turn, and felt that the cooks were not as delicious as Su Xiaojiu's cooking, so she ate two bites of candied fruit, and now her hungry eyes are green, and the group is boring, so she quickly took the opportunity to order "I want to eat pot meat"
Su Xiaojiu was happy to see that Niangniang wanted to eat, so he indulged a little, "As long as the pot wraps meat, do you eat anything else?"
Xu Ying burst into tears with excitement, she hadn't been treated so well for a long time
Licking his lips, "I still want to drink mutton soup." ”
It has been frosty, the weather has suddenly become cold, walking in the porch and breathing have white gas, this weather drink a bowl of hot mutton soup, put enough pepper and chili noodles, and then with baked to a crispy cake and sweet garlic, suck
Thinking back to the last time I ate the mutton steamed bun made by Xiaojiu, it seems that I am very far away from myself.
"Okay, then you can play with Your Highness here first, I'll go to the kitchen."
"Wait, we'll go too"
Xu Ying hurriedly hugged Yun'er to follow, the imperial concubine has been uncertain recently, so she shouldn't stay here.
Su Xiaojiu is also up to her.
Appetite follows the mood, Niangniang's recent taste is very light, thinking that it is better to make a mushroom rape, and then a soup baby cabbage, the staple food is to make japonica rice multigrain rice, Niangniang should like it.
When I arrived at the kitchen, I found that the ingredients I bought today were all chicken, duck, beef and mutton, and the only few vegetables were nothing more than potatoes, eggplants, and peppers
called Qin Xiu to ask the reason, but it caused her to roll her eyes.
"Su Zhangshi, it's almost winter now, where can I buy fresh leafy vegetables, aren't you embarrassed for us?"
"If I'm not mistaken, wouldn't I still be able to buy spinach and rape the other day?"
Qin Xiu looked at her, like looking at an idiot, "Those are all stored in the cellar, there is no market, you must know that it is extremely difficult to store this fresh vegetables and vegetables in the cellar, some merchants hoard tens of thousands of catties, and in winter, at most one-tenth of the ones that can be preserved in good condition, but you can't buy them if you want to." ”
She told the truth this time, in previous years, when it was cold, most of the vegetables and vegetables used in the palace were transported from the south, but this year I don't know what evil was committed, a few days ago, the south was unprecedentedly cold, the temperature plummeted, and the production of vegetables and vegetables was greatly reduced.
Su Xiaojiu had also heard about this, but he didn't expect the chain reaction to arrive in the palace so soon.
How did she forget that in modern times, there were fresh vegetables all year round, it was because there were vegetable greenhouses, and now in ancient times, farmers just watched the sky and ate
Qin Xiu said that she only knew that the vegetables and vegetables used in the palace in the past few days were originally reserved by the merchants in advance and prepared to be sold in winter, but now they were taken out more than a month in advance.
Xu Ying smacked her tongue when she heard it, she never cared about these livelihood issues before, anyway, no matter what famine there was outside, she would not starve her, but after listening to Qin Xiu's words, she immediately thought that the merchants had sold the winter vegetables in advance, so where else could they go to buy them in winter
"Then when we get to winter, won't we be even more unable to buy vegetables to eat?"
Su Xiaojiu nodded, "It's just a trivial matter that I can't buy vegetables, I'm afraid that other prices will also skyrocket, and the south has been affected by the disaster, there must be a lot of refugees, this cold winter, I don't know if I can survive it." ”
The so-called pulling a trigger to move the whole body, the south was originally a rich land, but now it has suffered disasters and heavy losses, which will definitely affect the national economy.
The most terrifying thing is that southerners, whether it is a house or clothing, never need to consider the factor of keeping out the cold, and they are afraid that many people will freeze to death when they are cold.
Thinking about Dayuan, it is really ill-fated, a frost, I am afraid that it will make the already unreliable throne of Emperor Yuanhe worse.
Although she is just a little palace maid, she also understands the sentence that under the nest, An has finished her eggs, and wants to live happily and happily with an iron rice bowl for a lifetime, of course, she hopes that Dayuan can last a long time, and the country and the people will be safe.
It's just that what can she do
Xu Ying didn't think as much as she thought, she was only worried that she would not be able to eat vegetables this winter, and asked Su Xiaojiu worriedly, "Then won't we have to eat potatoes and cabbage all winter?"
Su Xiaojiu sighed: "I'm afraid that there will be few people who can eat potatoes and cabbage at that time." ”
"Ah, what should you do, or else, let's go and inquire about how many merchants in the market are still in stock, and you can buy them all."
"Didn't Qin Xiu say it just now, he bought it all, the storage technology is limited, and I'm afraid it will all rot when the time comes."
And at this time, it is most taboo to rob, which will only accelerate the soaring price rise, and maybe even cause panic, they can't be a bad example. ,,,
