I don’t know what their reaction will be when they go back to take stock of the food stored at home and find that they haven’t made any profit at all and have lost dozens of kilograms of rice.

Since Ying Bao's physical body had already left the county, after the grain from these unscrupulous rice merchants was swept into the space, there was no way to deliver it to the county magistrate's house, so he simply kept it himself.

Now she has rice collected from the palace's granary in her space. With the grain stored by these unscrupulous rice merchants, the rice in her granary is more than abundant.

The group of people continued on the road, and when the sun went down, they finally came to a post house.

Since their food and salary had been deducted and they had no money for accommodation, the guards had no choice but to take the prisoners to sit under the eaves of the posthouse to rest.

When a police officer with a private bank finally found an inn and wanted to have a good meal and a good night's sleep, he paid for the hotel himself and came out when it was his turn to guard the prisoners.

The rest of the police officers who want to save some money or have no money can only live and eat with these prisoners.

The deputy leader is a person who wants to save some money.

He bought several bags of rice with the money given to him by Boss Zhang. The grain was supposed to be divided per head, and each person could get eight taels.

The entire Su family, including the master and servants, totaled dozens of people, and at least they could get more than ten or twenty kilograms of rice.

But the deputy leader only gave five kilograms of rice to the three exiled families and asked them to cook porridge for themselves.

After receiving the rice, Liu Canjun couldn't help but frown: "Master, there are more than ten people in our Liu family, and we have only divided five kilograms of rice. I'm afraid it won't be enough..."

The deputy leader said angrily: "It would be nice to have some to eat. Originally, I planned to let you go to the next county seat hungry. If Boss Zhang hadn't been kind and gave you some rice, otherwise you would only have water to drink now."

!”

Another officer pointed at the Su family and the Zuo family and sneered: "Those two families have more exiles than your Liu family, and they only received five kilograms of rice. What did they say? You are the only Liu family who talks more."

, if you keep chirping, I’ll give you some less!”

Hearing the officer's words, Liu Canjun immediately did not dare to say anything.

As for Liu Canjun's wife, Huang, she felt much more balanced when she heard that the Su family and the Zuo family had more than a dozen families, and they only got 5 kilograms of rice.

"You deserve it. Don't the Su family rely on their large number of people? Now the food they receive is not enough, let's see how proud they are!"

Huang laughed happily.

Like her, Xia Cao was also gloating about others' misfortunes.

Seeing that dozens of people in the Su family were only given five kilograms of rice, she couldn't help but feel lucky again. Fortunately, she had the foresight to leave the Su family and join the deputy leader, otherwise she would be eating a big pot of rice with the Su family.

I can only share the five kilograms of rice with them.

Naturally, the officers who escorted the exiled prisoners would not treat themselves badly.

Dozens of exiled prisoners were given only five kilograms of rice per household, while they, a dozen or so police officers, kept more than a dozen kilograms of rice for themselves.

Xia Cao followed the deputy leader, so he could naturally eat a meal of rice that was not so watery.

The Zuo family looked at the five kilograms of rice they had just received, and everyone looked sad.

With such a small amount of rice, how much can be divided among dozens of people?

I'm afraid I can only eat some rice milk to taste it!

What might be done?

Just like the deputy leader said, it’s good to eat some.

At this time, the Su family was not much better.

The family gathered in a circle and watched the old maid put the 5 kilograms of rice into the pot, and then kept adding water to the pot.

They all shook their heads and sighed in unison.

With so little rice and so much water, I'm afraid I'll just have some rice soup in the end.

The one who cooked porridge for them was an old maid next to Mrs. Su, everyone called her Nanny Li.

When cooking, the guards allowed each household to choose two people to unshackle and cook food within their sight.

Grandma Li was good at cooking, so the Su family chose her.

The other person is the general beside Su Dalang. He is very strong and can help fetch water from the well.

Looking at the few grains of rice that were clearly visible, Grandma Li said to Mrs. Su: "Old madam, our rice is definitely not enough to eat. If we can get some wild vegetables and mix them together, maybe we can stuff them between our teeth."

Mrs. Su nodded, "Okay, then you can take a few young masters and ladies to go look for wild vegetables with you. We can just watch here."

Grandma Li immediately handed the mixing spoon to a maid next to her, and called Ying Bao and others to go find wild vegetables together.

Aunt Li didn't dare to go too far, otherwise the official would scold her.

However, it was difficult to find wild vegetables without walking further, and Grandma Li couldn't help but feel anxious and embarrassed.

The children Su Dazheng, Su Eryi, and Su Sanheng didn't know wild vegetables, so they randomly picked up some weeds on the roadside and came to her and asked: "Mother Li, can this be eaten?"

"Mother Li, this must be a wild vegetable, right?"

"Mother Li, this looks so much like the food we often eat, so it should be okay to eat, right?"

Grandma Li looked at the three innocent and ignorant children and could only shake her head tirelessly.

"no."

"Can't eat it."

"This is poisonous."

At this time, Ying Bao hugged a plump Chinese cabbage and handed it to Grandma Li. He looked at her with a pair of innocent eyes: "Grandma Li, can this wild vegetable be eaten?"

"This..." Grandma Li couldn't find any wild vegetables, and she was anxious. When she heard this question, she thought that these young masters and ladies had brought some messy wild vegetables to ask her. She was about to say no, but when she saw

When Ying Bao took the cabbage in his hand, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"You...Miss Ying, you, you, you, where did you pick this cabbage?"

Ying Bao turned around and pointed to a piece of land: "It's right there!"

Grandma Li followed her hand and looked over, and saw that on the flat ground, there were not only Chinese cabbages, but also radishes, winter melons, other wild vegetables, and a small orange tree.

Grandma Li was immediately elated. She never expected that she could find these common vegetables and fruits in the wild.

When Ying Bao saw Grandma Li's eyes shining, she secretly laughed in her heart.

This is also thanks to Huang Yuanwai, who harvested so much land, not only grazing cattle and sheep, but also planting a large area of ​​vegetables and fruits.

When she was collecting these materials from Huang Yuanwai, she even brought other people's soil and transplanted them directly into her own space.

In this way, when she takes out the materials in the space, they will be regarded as growing from the soil. She does not need to stick the peaches on the evergreen trees or the watermelons on the kudzu vines like before.

"Quick, quick, quick," Nanny Li hurriedly called to the children: "Master Dazheng, Master Eryi, Master Sanheng, let's pick these vegetables and fruits back and cook them in the pot!"

Yingbao also wanted to follow her to pick it, but Grandma Li hugged her and said with a joyful smile: "Miss Ying has done a great job, just leave the rest to us. Just rest here."

After a while, Grandma Li returned home with her four children.

When the Zuo family and the Liu family saw the Su family carrying so many fruits and vegetables, they were immediately jealous. They quickly ordered their children: "Quick, quick, quick, you guys should go take a look and pick some fruits and vegetables too."

Come over and cook and eat!”
