Li Fugui was obviously a rake ear, and he was kicked, but he didn't say a word, and quickly ran to wash his hands.

The table is not big, and it just sits down Jia Baoyu, Zhao Yun, Li Fugui, and Li Gui.

Hua An and the others were arranged to eat in another room.

Mama Li and Li Gui's wife played the role of waiters, constantly serving plates of local vegetables from the farmhouse.

The food is not as exquisite as the house, but it is better to be full in quantity, and these ingredients are pure natural and pollution-free green foods without pesticides and genetically modified organisms, Jia Baoyu and Zhao Yun opened their stomachs and ate wildly.

Li Gui's family was dumbfounded when they watched this scene, Zhao Yun and Jia Baoyu both looked polite and polite, but they didn't expect to eat more wild than the mud legs who did heavy work under their hands.

The two of them ate four bowls of rice in a row before they could stop.

The food in Jiafu is all fine grain, and although the rice prepared by Li Gui here is also white, Jia Baoyu's rice can eat small pebbles.

Boom - Jia Baoyu covered her right cheek, only feeling that her teeth were sour: "Li Gui, next time you ask your daughter-in-law to wash rice, be careful, my teeth almost fell out." ”

Li Gui repeatedly confessed and scolded his wife a few times, Jia Baoyu waved his hand and said: "I don't blame you, it's good to be able to eat such a meal in the countryside, I mean you have to be careful in doing things."

Since the errand is entrusted to you, it is a trust in you, and there can be no mistakes. ”

Li Gui was shocked when he heard this, and nodded yes.

Jia Baoyu swallowed the last bite of rice, wiped his mouth, and said, "You just said that there are still two days of rations left?" ”

Li Gui hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, snapped his fingers and said: "There are two hundred and thirteen workers who work, and the families of these workers, young and old, there are also two hundred and sixty-six people, there are a total of two hundred and fifty people in our village, and the second master, you have brought more than 20 people, which all add up, it is seven hundred and fifty people."

Of course, the villagers' families still have some surplus food, which can last for ten days and half a month, but this is also a drop in the bucket, and it can't solve the urgent need. ”

Jia Baoyu frowned, he didn't expect that he couldn't buy food even if he had silver.

The grain of Shenjing City is all transported by transportation, Huguang is the granary of the world, and more than half of the grain in Shenjing City is transported from Huguang and Guangzhou every year.

Limited to the backwardness of transportation conditions in ancient times, it would be very good to transport 100 stone of grain and be able to transport 70 stone to Jingshi.

Fortunately, there is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which can guarantee 80 percent transportation efficiency, but because of this year's drought and locust plague, the price of grain has risen one after another.

Originally, a stone of grain only cost one tael of silver, but now it has tripled!

That means that the money in the hands of the common people will shrink, which means that more people will starve to death.

And the common people who do not want to be starved to death are desperate, so they can only go up the mountain and fall into the grass to carry out greater destruction, which is like a dead circle with no solution!

Li Gui and the others stared wide-eyed, waiting for Jia Baoyu's orders.

Jia Baoyu rubbed his eyebrows and said: "No matter how high the price of food is, we have to buy it, who is hungry, we can't let the workers go hungry, and the living can still suffocate their urine to death?"

I will arrange for Jia Yun to buy food, but the security along the way does not seem to be peaceful. ”

Li Gui said: "Who says it's not! I heard that even the county seat of Fangshan in the south has been captured, and they have sent rogues everywhere to rob things, and there are more refugees who have fled here these days, and many of them are ordinary people in Fangshan County, they say that the rogues will be arrested when they see men, and they will be XX when they see women, and all the children and old people will be killed.

In order to prevent the people from escaping back, they also set fire to the village. ”

Zhao Yun was furious when he heard this, and slammed the table: "Isn't that the same as the yellow scarf?" ”

Click-Where can the dining table withstand Zhao Yun's divine power, and it suddenly fell apart.

Li Gui's family's eyes almost didn't pop out, this is a good Nanmu table, even if you smash it with a hammer, you may not be able to smash it, who knows, but it can't match Zhao Yun's pair of fleshy palms!

Originally, when Li Gui saw Zhao Yun and saw his fine skin and tender meat, he thought it was Jia Baoyu's good looks.

After all, Jia Baoyu couldn't hold it when he saw beautiful boys and girls in the past, he sent Zhao Yun over to supervise himself, and Li Gui never took Zhao Yun seriously.

But now he knew that he was wrong, and he was very wrong!

Where is this rabbit master, this is obviously a king of Yama, and it is the king of Yama who spies on himself.

Li Gui and Mama Li were both scared for a while, glad that they didn't cheat and cheat, otherwise they wouldn't wait for Jia Baoyu to come over, and their heads would have to be slapped like this table.

Zhao Yun was a little at a loss, like a child who had done something wrong: "That, I will pay for the table." ”

Li Gui hurriedly shook his head: "No need to pay!" No loss! I have long seen that this table is not pleasing to the eye, and I plan to change it tomorrow, Brother Yun has done me a great favor, I thank you It's too late. ”

Zhao Yun was puzzled: "Really don't have to pay?" ”

Li Gui nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

Jia Baoyu was also envious, and said in his heart When will I be like Zhao Yun, when I met those mountain bandits today, I still can't catch them?

After agreeing to provide food by Jia Baoyu, Li Gui proposed that it was not too early for the day, young master, you are tired of traveling, it is better to rest early.

Jia Baoyu waved his hand: "Let's not rest first, take me to see the factory." ”

That is his secret base in the future, it must be seen, the purpose of Jia Baoyu's visit this time is to see the progress of the factory, and then put some more important industries here.

Seeing Jia Baoyu's insistence, Li Gui hurriedly asked his daughter-in-law to prepare a few lanterns, and he personally led the way in front with the lanterns.

Hua An and Wu Da and others still wanted to go with them, but they were rejected by Jia Baoyu and asked them to rest, anyway, with Zhao Yun following, let alone a person, even if the ghost came, he was not afraid.

The factory is located in the south of the village, and because of its large area, it is three or four miles away from Heitu Village.

From the village to the factory is a small road, only three feet wide, with a number of shacks on both sides of the road.

Li Gui said: "There are too many refugees, there are people everywhere, and the villagers are reluctant to accept them, for fear of chaos, so they are placed near the factory."

These shacks were also built together with the strong support of the villagers. ”

Jia Baoyu suddenly remembered something and asked, "Why don't you dig more ground nests, it's easier to keep warm." ”

Li Gui didn't expect Jia Baoyu to even know about the nest, so he was stunned for a moment, and replied: "It's not all caused by this ghost weather, this year is colder than in previous years, the ground is frozen like ice, and it can't be dug at all, and five or six shovels have been broken." ”

Jia Baoyu listened to Li Gui's report, and at the same time, he had to pay attention to his feet, walking one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The Great Zhou Dynasty did not have the transportation conditions of later generations, except for some big cities where the ground was paved with bricks and stones, most of the time, it was some yellow earth, but because there were more people walking, the land became harder.

It can rain and snow, and the smooth road will become muddy again.
