When the battle starts, the gates of Pucheng will be blocked, and the city will be used as the rear of the front line, except for the wounded soldiers and idle people in the city, they will not be allowed to enter or leave, and foreign merchants will not be able to enter, and the price of grain will only increase several times.

Meng Sangpo heard the movement and walked out against the wall, "What's wrong?" ”

Huang Ye hurriedly went over to help her, "It's nothing, Aunt Ochre has an urgent matter at home, and I accidentally knocked over the stool when I was running, Grandma, I came back this time to arrange all the work at home, and it will take a long time to come back next time, if you are not feeling well, tell Aunt Ochre, let her go into the city to ask the doctor, I have explained, the doctor will come."

Even if the doctor can't leave, he can call Lang Zhong to show you, don't worry about the money, and I have already helped you pay for next month's task, so don't worry about the county government. ”

Meng Sangpo sighed for a while, and didn't mention anything like money.

When the sun was about to set, Huang Ye had already helped Meng Sangpo take a comfortable hot bath, and fed her a small bowl of chicken soup.

At this time, Li Mu had just arrived at the door pushing a big cart.

Huang Ye hurriedly came out to help.

"Xiao Ye, I pushed everything you wanted back for you, the steward said, wait for you to go back and settle the bill, don't worry, you bought so much food because..... Fight? Li Mu asked in a low voice, not daring to say anything.

Huang Ye nodded, and said while moving things: "It is estimated that everyone in the village knows, you mainly help to buy in the house, everyone knows, it is estimated that many people will come to your house at night to ask you to help buy grain." ”

"What? I didn't even buy it myself! Li Mu was a little anxious, the news of the war did not spread, but the city has recently strengthened its military defense, since yesterday, the things purchased by the steward have increased exponentially, and today Huang Ye asked for so many things, he knew the situation at Huang Ye's house, she couldn't hoard food for no reason, so she thought of going to the war, but I didn't expect it to be true!

Huang Ye muttered: "I mean it's all from a village, you can help, if someone comes to the door, don't rush to push it, write it down first, and go to the Major General's Mansion tomorrow to report this matter to the steward."

The matter is big, the steward can't call the shots, and he will definitely report to the major general, who will not miss this opportunity to win the hearts of the people, and will definitely agree, and when the villagers can buy the most grain with the lowest money, everyone will also thank you for your credit. ”

When Li Mu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart jumped suddenly, "Xiao Ye, what you said is true?" ”

"What are you lying to! Over the years, I have bothered you to help, and I will not succeed you! Huang Ye sneered.

Li Mu hurriedly apologized, "That's not what I meant, it's just ..... Even if I'm not as smart as you, I can't think of so much! Since you have said it, then I believe you, and if someone asks me for help when I go back, I will definitely write it down. ”

Huang Ye looks like a teachable child.

After Li Mu left, she immediately closed the courtyard door, bolted the door bolt, and went to the warehouse where things were stored to check the grain stored at home.

In addition to the grain, there are also sixty duck eggs, all of which have just been laid, Meng Sangpo eats one or two a day, and she can eat them for more than a month, if it weren't for the duck eggs that can't be stored for too long, she still wants to buy more.

The vegetables grown in the family's vegetable garden are enough for daily consumption, and the amount of sugar and salt is also stored for a year, so it seems that there is nothing missing.

After counting the things and yellow leaves, I went back to my room, and I went to bed early tonight, and I had to set off before dawn tomorrow.

At the same time, the Li family in the south of the village ushered in waves of villagers, even the village chief came, and a group of old people sat in the courtyard with a sad brow.

Village Chief: "Huang Ye, this kid has always been steady, and she is a person who can talk to the young general, she must not be wrong when she says this!" ”

"Village chief, why don't we ask again, don't be mistaken!" An old man about the same age as the village chief suggested worriedly.

The village chief hesitated for a long time but shook his head, "The Ochre clan just said, Huang Ye doesn't want Meng Sangpo to know these things, if we come to the door, Meng Sangpo will definitely suspect it, if Meng Sangpo has a case that Huang Ye will hate us to death, now that the Zhe clan and Li Mu have said that they want to fight, no matter what, we will not be wrong to hoard grain!" ”

Father Li nodded in agreement, "I think so too, if you can buy cheaper food, you can't lose anything." ”

"But will the young general really help?" Someone asked suspiciously.

Everyone looked at Li Mu.

Li Mu's heart sank, "I'm not sure if I can help you, but I'll try my best." ”

The village chief sighed again, "Thank you for your hard work, if you can really buy food, uncle will thank you on behalf of the villagers of the whole village!" ”

"No, no, these are the things I should do." Li Mu scratched his head embarrassedly, his face flushed.

The next thing is to register the amount of food needed, Li Mu has been working for the steward for five years in the major general, and he can read a few words, but he writes like a dog, ugly and slow, but no one urges him.

It was not until more than half of the hour that the villagers left one after another.

Before dawn the next day, Huang Ye got up to cook meat porridge for Meng Sangpo.

Meng Sangpo has a bad tooth and mouth, she needs to chop the meat into meat foam, and even the vegetables have to be chopped, and the ochre also laughed at her for being poor and exquisite, but she can eat more when she cooks it like this, and later the ochre also learned from her to cook meat porridge like this.

After Meng Sangpo finished eating a bowl of porridge, Huang Ye went out of the house with a basket on his back, just as Ochre came over, and the two whispered two words outside the courtyard before parting.

Seeing that the Ochre clan had brought a bunch of things, Meng Sangpo asked strangely, "These are .....?"

Ochre Shi hurriedly smiled and explained, "Huang Ye said that the Young General's Mansion is busy these days, she doesn't worry about you, so she asked our family to move over here to live with you, I went back last night to discuss it with the child's father, the child's father means that I can just move with the child, he lives at home like him, and it is more convenient to go to the ground." ”

Meng Sangpo smiled, "Since they are all here, he is not one of them." ”

Ochre also laughed, "It's not that I don't want to take advantage of you!" I told Huang Ye that although I live on your side, I have a clear score for eating, and I have moved all the food here. ”

Meng Sangpo knew the character of the Ochre family, waved her hand, and said, "You can just watch it, there are many people in the family, and it is lively!" ”

People are old and don't like to be deserted, she is still very satisfied with the arrangement of yellow leaves.

At this time, Huang Ye had already left Yi'an Village, and met Li Mu on the road, Li Mu excitedly shared with her what happened last night, "Huang Ye, you are really a god, last night a bunch of people came to my house to ask me to buy food, I calculated, everyone needs more than 800 stones, so much food, not to mention that the steward can't be the master, even if he does it, he doesn't dare to decide privately, nine times out of ten he has to find the young general to adjudicate." ”
