Chapter 1939: She is buying food

"Angry."
Brother Bai comforted his little head, as if he was aggrieved, he slid his little head into Brother Bai's clothes.
"You can't say it looks like a mouse, it's a fox."
"fox?"
The little tree blinked.
"But it looks like a mouse."
"Where does it look?" Brother Bai pulled the brand off, and also pulled off the hat on his head, with a small pointed mouth, pointed ears, white and soft fur, and a big fluffy tail. The one is a fox.
The little tree is quite curious.
"It's not the same as what I saw last night."
"Why, have you seen it?"
Brother Bai helped to brand the white and put on the hat. Bai has a full coat of hair. Without clothes, he will not go out. He eats a lot and does not grow meat. Only an aunt can raise such a gold swallow. The beast came out.
"I saw it last night, and it was brought by a beautiful big sister, who also gave me a shiny bead."
"big sister?"
Brother Bai turned his face, "You said a big sister gave you a shiny bead?".
"Well," Xiaoshu nodded, "It's a big sister, and there is it."
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 Laobai, then took a cup, poured some water into the cup, raised the cup and fed Laobai, the Laobai was still small, just enough to get his head into the cup.
As for asking Xiaoshu, what does that big sister look like, how would Xiaoshu describe it?
"Big sister looks good."
"Yep."
Brother Bai knows that there is no ugly one in this mansion. The one that looks the best is his little cousin, but the most special one is his aunt, because she is as immortal as she has taken the medicine of longevity. No change, not ugly.
"Big sister speaks very well."
"Yep."
Brother Bai seems to know who the big sister in his mouth is?
"Big sister's clothes are very beautiful, as if they can shine."
It is a silk brocade, and it is also a new kind of clothing in the capital. It is very precious. I heard that a foot costs a hundred taels of silver. If you make a piece of clothing, it may cost thousands of taels.
Such expensive clothing is not something everyone can wear. In addition to silver, there is also craftsmanship, because this kind of clothing is very light and thin. General clothing craftsmanship is likely to destroy the clothing. Texture.
But in the capital city, only his mother-in-law can use this kind of clothing material to make clothes, and her grandmother is not easy to use needles and threads, she can only make clothes for her aunt, maybe this twisted silk clothes, only his aunt in Beijing Only the mother-in-law, other people, but don't have such a big face, can invite his grandmother to make clothes.
"My son, do you know who that big sister is?"
Xiaoshu asked Brother Bai, "I want to thank her personally."
"He is my aunt."
Little tree "..."
This is a lie, it must be a lie.
That is obviously the big sister, how could she 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 mansion is not bad in food, even without mentioning Yipinxiang's food, the amount of food in their mansion itself is enough for them to eat for a whole year, and there is also a natural ice cellar in the mansion. , The meat in the ice cellar is also all kinds of meat that can be planted.
It's just that when the situation on the other side of the capital gets tighter, no amount of food will make them feel at ease.
"A large number of refugees came in again, and there was no place to live outside. Today the city gate is closed, and the capital cannot accommodate too many people."
Bai Mei sighed and replied, in fact, just a month ago, the large number of refugees who had poured into the capital were already too many. The house of Shen Qingrong could no longer be squeezed in, and it was fleeing. You can only find a place everywhere, as your own shelter, and those refugees who are blocked outside the city can only take their old clothes and torn branches and reluctantly build a small shed, right there. Yes will be up.
The capital is really not as good as it is now, it is at the feet of the emperor, but as long as there are too many people, the city still suffers from a serious shortage of food compared to the general boundary.
"What happened to 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 has not been like this. Even the city gates are closed. If people continue to let in, it will really cause refugees. Burst.
Even though it is like this in the capital, it is the same if 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 who line up to drink the porridge, but the food goes down quickly. The second son and the third son are in the porridge shed. It's also from morning to night."
"We still have some food."
Shen Qingci counted the grain left in her hands. She only took some of the grain left in her so many shops, and the rest was used to distribute grain, of course, in the name of the court.
And now the rest, except for the batch sent earlier, and the rest is the food stored in the mansion, it should be able to take out one, and leave what they eat. Now is the saddest time of the year. Wait. After these days, it may be better.
"Take out some food from the mansion."
"lady……"
"There is not much food left in the mansion."
Bai Mei has checked their grain reserves, there are not many.
"nothing."
Shen Qingci hugged Xiao Laobai, "When it's gone, your wife will go to the mountains to eat grass."
Baimei "..."
"That's right!" Bai Mei thought of something again, "Madam, I heard that the government of Weiguo is collecting grain recently."
"Receive grain?"
Shen Qingci frowned her brows slightly. She is receiving grain now?
What kind of food do you receive now?
The food shops outside are also closed, and it is very difficult to buy food, unless it is bought at a high price, and such high prices are not affordable for ordinary people.
"It's collecting grain."
Bai Mei is certain, "My little brother happened to see the people from Weiguo Gongfu secretly collecting grain, and he still collected a lot. Later, he also asked more about it. Lin Yunniang was buying black grain."
It cost more than a thousand taels just to buy food once, but in the past, these thousand taels could buy a bunch of food.
"Madam, she probably didn't save grain," Bai Mei thought for a while, she could think of it. Lin Yunniang definitely didn't listen to those words at the beginning, and didn't buy grain in advance. If she bought it at the time, it would be Lin Yunniang's current temperament. How could it be possible to buy it at a high price.
As long as Lin Yunniang had grain, she would definitely not buy it. On the contrary, she would secretly sell it.
