Chapter 5 Emptying the entire state mansion
The two brothers and sisters first touched the big kitchen in the backyard of the Guogong Mansion, because the kitchen was the best to find, and Haoyue came over when she smelled it.
As soon as you enter the door, there is a long table, and there is a tray full of snacks on the table, and when you see the rows and rows of desserts, Haoyue's happy eyes shine.
Thinking that A-Niang and herself both love sweets, Haoyue unceremoniously swept away the pastries on the table.
Counting them carefully, there are pine nut lily cakes, honey honey honeycomb cakes, gardenia mung bean cakes, custard glutinous rice cakes, barley water chestnut cakes, tangli osmanthus cakes, snow bean paste cakes, almond pea yellows, and some exquisite desserts that can't even be named.
Haoyue walked a few steps along the long table, and saw a row of carved red lacquer food boxes placed on the wooden shelf, and ice bricks were placed in the mezzanine on the top of the food box to keep fresh. Open the food box, there are all kinds of dishes in Tiannan and Haibei, what gold and silver crab meat rolls, braised pork knuckles, bird's nest mushroom shredded chicken, pepper and vinegar shrimp, purse loin, braised four happy lion heads, hanging roasted suckling pigeon, stewed eight treasure duck in sauce, see the moon swallowing saliva.
Haoyue stepped on the small bench and opened the steaming steaming drawer on the stove, which contained steamed large white flour steamed buns, chive rolls, noodles, pork buns, steamed dumplings with crab roe and other noodles.
Seeing so many delicacies, Haoyue thought happily in her heart, now she has a good mouth, she doesn't have to eat A-Niang's dark cuisine every day, and she doesn't have to be hungry.
The mute brother standing next to him, seeing his sister's happy face, also followed the silly music on the side.
Haoyue looked around and saw a row of bamboo baskets on the wooden frame opposite, which were baskets of eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, and quail eggs.
On the beams of the kitchen are large pieces of bacon and ham, yellow and clear cured chicken, plump cured duck and goose, and half a fan of pork.
With a wave of her hand, Haoyue packed all the food into the space.
There were also some pumpkins, radish, cabbage, and sweet potatoes piled up in the corner of the east wall, and Haoyue swept the stove after loading this pile of vegetables, and then swept all the grain, oil, sauce, vinegar, and salt on the stove.
In the end, he didn't even let go of a few large iron pots on the stove.
Looking at the empty kitchen of the Guogong Mansion and the freezers that were almost filled in the space, Haoyue felt a special sense of accomplishment.
After searching the kitchen, the brother and sister touched the granary again, and emptied the 500 stone rice, 80 liters of sorghum flour, 50 bags of cornmeal, and two large vats of pickles.
With this food, it is not a problem to feed the whole village on the way to escape the famine.
Thinking that the next winter was coming, and there were materials to keep out the cold on the road, Haoyue slipped to the warehouse again, asked her brother to twist the door lock, and then emptied all kinds of brocade cloth, quilts, cotton clothes, goose down cloaks, cotton boots, and collar coats made of various animal furs in the Guogong Mansion.
When passing by the mansion where Yu Guogong lived, Haoyue took her brother to rummage through the boxes and cabinets in the house for a while, and finally found a dark room behind a row of bookshelves.
After entering the dark room, Haoyue was almost blinded by the gold and silver flashing all over the room, the whole dark room was paved with silver bricks, in the middle was a small pyramid made of gold bricks, the corners were full of countless gold and silver jewelry, boxes of night pearls were shining, and clusters of jade coral were piled up into a rockery.....
Hao Yue was a little stunned, it turned out that the imperial court's disaster relief food had been sent here.
After a while, Haoyue came back to her senses, after all, she had never seen so much money in her life and life.
Then she waved her little hand slightly, leaving nothing behind that would glow.
Out of the residence of Yu Guogong, Haoyue pocketed all the objects that could be taken away in the Guogong Mansion, what tables, chairs and benches, literary games, calligraphy and paintings, everywhere she went was like a locust transiting, and she didn't let go of a stitch or a thread.
In the end, this empty Yuguo Mansion looked cleaner than Haoyue's face, and even his words echoed.
After tossing for a long time, and finally ransacked the Guogong Mansion, Haoyue wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, thinking in her heart that these squeezed and looted people's fat and ointment should be taken from the people for the people.
It's just that I didn't find the medicinal herb library here, and Haoyue felt a little pity.
With a few rooster crows, the eastern sky has turned white.
Haoyue asked her brother to climb out of the wall with her on her back, and then prepared to escape back to Xujia Village.
The brother and sister wanted to avoid people's eyes, so they chose to walk in the alley, but by coincidence, they just happened to bump into the big housekeeper of the Guogong Mansion who was looking for Haoyue everywhere.
looked at the gloomy housekeeper of the Guogong Mansion opposite, as well as a group of family members who were eyeing each other.
The corners of Haoyue's mouth pulled out a smile and said, "Good morning...."
