Chapter 179: The Escaped Wanderers
"Then I have to put the salt warehouse when there is a war, there is still a shortage at the moment, and I heard from my colleagues that the salt merchant sent by the vassal king to transport it back from the Lingnan Salt Lake got the plague halfway, and the salt was robbed in Nanzhou County."
"Huh? Robbed? Ah Jiu also wants to change some salt by the way and come back to make up for his mother's body: "Don't our generation have their own salt number?" Why do you have to ship it from outside? ”
"yes." Tuoba Yan looked at the sky and muttered: "Yes, I heard that it was that Li Dachang Li Yuanwai, who used to run salt, but now the old man is gone." ”
So that's the case, no wonder the old thing saved so much money.
In this era, everyone knows that one of the most expensive things is salt and the other is sugar.
"Then you don't usually eat vegetables with salt?" Ah Jiuhu asked suspiciously.
"What's a dish?"
"......" Ah Jiu looked at Tuoba Yan for a long time, and she couldn't talk about it that day, but she was unwilling: "It's fried, flavorful, and oily and watery dishes." ”
"Sister Ah Jiu, I haven't seen the kind of dish you said, the best is the kind of white steamed bun I left for you."
As soon as Tuoba Yan said this, Ah Jiu reacted, it turned out that steamed buns were the best food.
"However, how can there be salt in the yamen?" Ah Jiu muttered to himself.
"However, I've seen our leaders eat the kind of dishes served on plates, maybe we little soldiers don't have that qualification, just three steamed buns a day."
As soon as Tuoba Yan said this, Ah Jiu glanced at him sympathetically.
However, at this time, it is also quite a good treatment to be able to distribute three steamed buns a day: "Oh, forget it, salt is already rare." ”
"Ah, it's growing?" As soon as Tuoba Yan withdrew his gaze from the starry sky, he was startled by the sapling under his nose:
"So fast?"
"Shh Ah Jiu first made a silent gesture: "I planted it, it will naturally grow fast." ”
Xiao Yanyan cocked her thumb, leaned over and stared at the sapling, and then looked at the watermelon seedlings that were stretching: "Hey, climb on my feet." ”
Tuoba Yan took two steps back.
Ah Jiu has been able to accurately grasp the time of maturity, taking advantage of the fact that the village is empty now: "Xiao Yanyan, you go home and secretly bring the frame, one is not enough, bring the big frame of forage in Grandpa Niu's cowshed." ”
"Okay." Tuoba Yan got up and ran home.
Ah Jiu fantasized about the scene where he could exchange for food tomorrow, and felt that this escape road was not so hard.
As soon as Grandma came back, the family was reunited again.
At this moment, Ah Jiu saw a few people dressed as homeless people suddenly come to the village.
As they ran into the village, they looked back nervously, as if they were being chased.
Ah Jiu also looked at the entrance of the village, it was very quiet there, and there was no one else.
The three of them were also relieved, and they sat on the ground and gasped for breath.
After a while, I saw that the watermelon flowers were blooming, and the pomegranate tree was also rising tall with small red flowers.
The florets fell in just half a column of incense, leaving pomegranates the size of quail eggs.
Watermelon is also the size of an egg.
Ah Jiu was a little worried, and from time to time he was wary of the three people who were sitting on the village road.
Suddenly, one of the three people who had been silent for a long time covered his face and cried: "All dead...... They're all dead, ahhhh ”
"You still have the strength to cry, save some energy, there are all residents here, it's a big deal, we have to grab some food to cushion our stomachs."
Ah Jiu shrank into the darkness, and watched the three of them get up and enter the alley.
Ah Jiu secretly screamed that it was not good, it was the alley of Grandpa Niu's house.
Before the idea fell, Ah Jiu clearly saw that Tuoba Yan happened to come out with two large frames, one large and one small.
"Who are you?"
