Chapter 1891 She Is Buying Food

"Angry."

Brother Bai comforted and rubbed the little head of Liobai. Liobai seemed to be aggrieved, so he burrowed his little head into Brother Bai's clothes.

"You can't say it's like a mouse, it's a fox."

"fox?"

The little tree blinked.

"But it looks like a mouse."

"Which looks like it?" Bai Ge'er pulled out the brand name, and also pulled off the hat on its head. It has a small pointed mouth, pointed ears, soft white fur, and a big fluffy tail. Really It's a fox.

The little tree is very curious.

"It's not like what I saw last night."

"What, have you seen it?"

Brother Bai helped Lio Bai to put on the hat again. Bai grew hair all over. He didn't go out without clothes. He ate a lot, but he still didn't grow meat. Only his aunt could raise such a gold swallow. Beast out.

"I saw it last night, and it was carried by a beautiful big sister. The big sister also gave me a bead that will glow."

"big sister?"

Brother Bai turned his face, "You said a big sister gave you a glowing bead?".

"Well," Xiaoshu nodded, "it's a big sister, and it is."

He stretched out his finger and pointed at the little white fox on the table.

"What does she look like?"

Bai Ke'er picked up the brand name, then took a cup, poured some water into the cup, picked up the cup and fed the brand name, the brand name was still small, just enough to put his head into the cup.

As for asking Xiaoshu, what does the big sister look like, Xiaoshubi doesn't know how to describe it?

"Big sister is very good-looking."

"kindness."

Brother Bai knows that there is no ugly person in this mansion. The most beautiful person is his little cousin, but the most special one is his aunt, because she is like a medicine for immortality. Same, not ugly.

"Big sister speaks very nicely."

"kindness."

Brother Bai seems to know who the big sister he is talking about is?

"The clothes on the eldest sister are very beautiful, as if they will glow."

That is twisted silk brocade, and it is also a new type of clothing material in the capital. It is very precious. I heard that one foot costs a hundred taels of silver, and it may cost thousands of taels to make a piece of clothing.

Not everyone can wear such expensive fabrics. In addition to silver, there is also craftsmanship. Because this kind of fabric is very light and thin, the general garment-making process is likely to destroy the fabric. texture.

And in the capital, only his mother can use this kind of clothing material to make clothes, and the grandmother is not easy to use needle and thread, she will only make clothes for her aunt, maybe this silk brocade clothes, only his aunt in the whole capital Only the mother-in-law has, other people, but do not have such a big face, you can ask his grandmother to make clothes.

"Master, do you know who that big sister is?"

Xiaoshu asked Brother Bai, "I want to thank her personally."

"He's my aunt."

Small tree "..."

This is a lie, it must be a lie.

That is obviously the big sister, how could it be the aunt?

It's not a lie, he will know one day.

"How is the situation outside?"

Shen Qingci asked Bai Mei, although their house is not bad for food, even if they don't mention the first-grade food, the amount of food in their house is enough for them to eat for a whole year, and there is a natural ice cellar in the house. , There are all kinds of meat that can be grown in the ice cellar.

It's just that when the situation in the capital is getting tighter, no amount of food can make their hearts calm down.

"A large number of refugees have come in again. There is no place to live outside. Today, the city gate is closed, and the capital can no longer accommodate too many people."

Bai Mei sighed and replied, in fact, just a few months ago, the large number of refugees who poured into the capital was already too much. Shen Qingrong's house could no longer be crowded in, and they were fleeing. You can only find a place everywhere, and use it as your shelter, and those refugees who are blocked outside the city can only take their old clothes, broken branches, and reluctantly build a small shed, just there. It's about to get up.

The capital is really not that good now, it is at the feet of the emperor, but as long as there are too many people, the city will still suffer from serious shortage of food compared to the general boundary.

"How is Yipinxiang's porridge shed?

Shen Qingci knew that this would be the case. There have been several influxes of refugees in the capital, but it is not like this. Even the city gates are closed. If people continue to let in, they will really attract refugees. burst.

This is still the case in the capital, and it is the same when you want to come outside. No one can escape, and no one can escape.

"Our porridge shed has always been there, and there is no business in the shop. Every morning, there will be people queuing up to drink porridge, but the food goes down very quickly. The second and third sons are in the porridge shed. It is also busy from morning to night.”

"We still have some food."

Shen Qingci counted the remaining grain in her hands, the grain that she had in so many stores, but she took some to the mansion, and the rest was used for grain storage, of course, in the name of the imperial court.

And what is left now, except for the batch that was sent earlier, there is also the food stored in the house. I should be able to take out this one, and leave it for them to eat. Now is the saddest time of the year. It might get better in these days.

"Take out some of the food in the house."

"lady……"

"There is not much food left in the palace."

Bai Mei was the one who checked their stockpile, and it wasn't much.

"nothing."

Shen Qingci hugged Xiao Laobai, "When it's gone, your wife will go to the mountains to eat grass."

Bai Mei "..."

"By the way!" Bai Mei thought of something again, "Madam, I heard that the Duke of Wei's mansion is receiving food recently."

"Get food?"

Shen Qingci frowned slightly, is she receiving food now?

What food are you getting now?

The grain shops outside are also closed, and it is very difficult to buy grain unless it is bought at a high price, and such a high price is not affordable for ordinary people.

"It's harvesting food."

Bai Mei is certain, "My little brother happened to see people from the Duke Wei's mansion secretly collecting grain, but he still received a lot. Later, he inquired about it in many ways, and Lin Yunniang was buying black grain."

It cost more than 1,000 taels to buy food just once. In the past, these 1,000 taels could buy a bunch of food.

"Ma'am, she probably didn't save any food." Bai Mei thought about it, and she could think of it. At the beginning, Lin Yunniang definitely didn't listen to those words, and she didn't buy food in advance. How could it be possible to buy it at a high price.

As long as Lin Yunniang has food, she will never buy it. On the contrary, she will secretly sell it.
