Chapter 147: Relief refugees

"Yes! There are gold, silver and jewelry! Zhengshou can't use it!" Xuanyuanmeng patted her purse, her eyes turned, "Let’s buy food first, and after it’s done, let Zhang Yu send a team of people to follow us. How about sending buns?"
"Not bad! The little head turns very fast!" Gu Yunlan looked at her appreciatively. She hadn't seen her for a few days. She should have looked at her with admiration. This girl turned her mind very quickly. With Zhang Yu's soldiers, not only can it prevent riots, You can also build a good image for the barracks, killing two birds with one stone!
"It was his idea!" Xuanyuan Meng was a little embarrassed by her praise, and pulled the figure by the wall.
Zhang Yu was pulled out from behind by her, and he looked at Gu Yunlan and Gu Yunlan blankly, as if the idea had nothing to do with him.
Gu Yunlan looked at the two silently, she thought that Xuanyuanmeng had opened up, but the rotten wood could not be carved!
The four of them didn't delay and walked directly towards the market. Compared with the market a year ago, there are fewer people now. Not to mention hurriedly, all of them are full of things.
After leaving several stores in a row, all the grain has been sold out. Gu Yunlan is a little discouraged. Now the city gate is closed, it is estimated that no grain can be brought in. Gu Cheng is completely closed and can only be self-sufficient.
"Wait a few! There is still some old flour in the warehouse behind us, I don't know..." The voice of the shopkeeper stopped the four people.
Gu Yunlan turned around and smiled, "Can you take a look?"
"Er Gouzi! Look good at the shop!" The shopkeeper shouted at the young man who was looking at the picture book inside the counter.
"Good!" The boy quickly put down the picture album in his hand, stood up, and responded.
"Yes, you can, please, please!" The shopkeeper turned around and quickly raised the curtain to make a gesture of asking, leading a few people to the backyard.
The yard behind is not big, but it is full of various grain bags. Xuanyuan Meng looked around in surprise, and she glared at the shopkeeper, "Aren't these food? Why don't you sell us?"
"Our boss won't let it!" The shopkeeper smiled bitterly, he would not bring them in if he knew it, "Please here!"
Gu Yunlan and Bai Yiran glanced at each other. They didn't understand the channel here. As long as the food in the city is sold out, these merchants who have grain storage on their hands will definitely sit down and raise the price!
Several people followed the shopkeeper, around the hill of grain piles, and a small wooden house appeared in front of them.
"Squeak!" As soon as the warehouse door opened, a musty smell poured into the nose.
"It's so heavy dust, the shopkeeper, are you sure it's just the old flour from last year?" Gu Yunlan asked, covering her mouth.
"Uh!" The shopkeeper covered his mouth, his face was a little embarrassed, and he reiterated faintly, "It was the old flour from last year, which was ground the year before last!"
"Then you still sell it? It's strange that people don't have diarrhea after eating it!" Xuanyuan Meng said.
Gu Yunlan looked at the whole warehouse piled up with flour. It is a pity to lose so much flour. If it is given to the refugees, it will cause a bad stomach. What should I do?
Bai Yiran walked over, took out a wire, poked it in, and brought out a little white flour. He put it between his nose and sniffed it lightly, "The color is yellow, with a strong musty smell, and astringent. , Not edible!"
"The shopkeeper, since we have all seen your grain here, if you don't sell it, you can't justify it?" Xuanyuanmeng turned and walked out, watching the pile of grain bags, she patted the rice bags, "This is dry. The bag, maybe it was just moved out of the warehouse? I heard that it will rain today. Are you planning to sell it later?"
"Girl! This is really not good! Our boss has already discussed it with others, if I make the decision, the boss will skin me!"
"It's okay if you don't agree!" Xuanyuanmeng clapped his hands indifferently, and said to Zhang Yu, "Wait, I will transfer a guard from the commander's mansion and move the grain directly. It saves this lady a lot of money!"
From the marshal's mansion? The shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, he quickly looked at these four. He just noticed that they were brightly dressed, and now he discovered that one of the four, he actually knew the former marshal daughter, Miss Gu!
When the shopkeeper was in a dilemma, two voices of conversation came towards the backyard, one of which was familiar and could not be familiar.
Gu Yunlan and Xuanyuanmeng looked at each other, it was Zi Jiangliang!
The voice of the conversation was stunned when they saw the four people in the warehouse. Except for Zi Jiangliang, the other was slightly fat, with a full face and a beard, wearing a melon hat on his head, and his body was bloated. Lab coat.
"Xiao Yunlan and Miss Xuanyuan?" Zi Jiang Liang was also taken aback, and asked quickly, "Are you buying food?"
"Yeah! It's a pity that they don't sell us, let us buy the aged flour from the year before last!" Xuanyuanmeng nodded, looking at the two with regret.
"How can this work!" Zi Jiang Liang was taken aback, and then he clasped his fists to the man next to him, "Boss Zhao, the commander's mansion buys food. We can never give other people aged flour. How can I say a little bit of it? Give it to them!"
"Okay! What does Boss Zi say?" Boss Zhao responded readily.
Gu Yunlan can understand that this boss Zhao is the owner of the grain business, and Zi Jiangliang is the buyer!
She smiled slightly and asked hesitantly, "Is this all right? Uncle Zi?"
"What's wrong? You can buy as much as you want and move as much as you want! If it's not too much, Uncle Zi will pay you!" Zi Jiangliang waved his hand and didn't care, how much can the people of the commander's house eat? With such a yard full of food, they removed ten bags, which would be enough for them to eat for a month or two.
"How can I do that?" Gu Yunlan waved her hand quickly and pointed to Xuanyuanmeng, "We have enough money!"
"Really?" Xuanyuanmeng took it seriously, she smiled slyly, and drew a curve with a wave of her hand, "Then we want one-third of this place, not much!"
Zi Jiang was dumbfounded, one-third, enough for their Marshal Mansion to eat the first half of the year, but he couldn't take back the Haikou praised by the savior. Under the surprise of Boss Zhao, he waved helplessly. I can only explain to Roland when I look back.
Coming out of the food shop, Xuanyuanmeng smiled, she walked backwards looking at Gu Yunlan, and asked triumphantly, "How about, Yunlan? With these grains, it's enough!"
"Enough!" Gu Yunlan turned her head and glanced at the guard who was moving the grain out, thinking for a moment and said to the three of them, "Now it's too late to go back and make steamed buns. Let's cook the porridge and add some vegetable leaves!"
"Okay!" Zhang Yu nodded rare.
After returning home to rest for an hour, when the porridge was cooked, Gu Yunlan and Xuanyuanmeng followed the guards towards the gate of the city.
There was not much porridge. Six large barrels were placed on three wooden carts. After a few steps, Zhang Yu and Bai Yiran followed.
"Why are you here?" Xuanyuanmeng asked in surprise. Didn't it just say that there is something to discuss with Bai Yiran?
"Don't worry about you, there are too many refugees and homeless people. In case we encounter someone who plots badly, we can protect you!" Bai Yiran followed Gu Yunlan, took out two things wrapped in oil paper from his arms, and handed it over. "After tossing for an afternoon, you eat while it's hot, it won't taste good when you leave the city!"
Gu Yunlan smiled at him, stretched out her hand to take it, and threw one of the packets to Xuanyuan Meng, which was still hot. She gently opened the two hot steamed buns. No wonder they would not eat anymore if they said it out. People drank porridge. It is indeed a lot different.
Gently bite, a strong fragrance poured into your mouth, and the soup flowed down the bite crack, filling the soup bag! Gu Yunlan looked at him gratefully.
"It's delicious!" Xuanyuanmeng unceremoniously resolved one of them in two or three mouthfuls, praising them as they ate.
After solving the bun in her hand, she followed the convoy out of the city gate. The scene outside surprised her.
Tents were hung obliquely on the wet ground. Many people sat directly on the ground regardless of the dampness of the ground. Many children running outside the tents were covered in mud and bare feet. Fortunately, it was not winter.
The place where the porridge was served was well arranged. The guards made a few gongs and drums. The crowds lined up holding the bowl noisily. Seeing that she didn't need her help, Gu Yunlan walked around slowly while the three of them were not paying attention.
As she walked, Gu Yunlan's pace slowed down. Watching this scene, her heart was mixed. In her previous life, she was also a member of this group of refugees. It was also this season, grabbing food, splashing, fighting, starving to death. Almost every day, she doesn't know how many times she was hungry, how many times she suffered...
"Smelly boy! I beat you to death!"
A curse brought back Gu Yunlan's thoughts. She raised her eyes to see that a stout man was holding a stick and chasing a half-year-old child cursing. The child was very flexible and ran back and forth in the field.
It seemed that there were officers and soldiers on this side of the city gate. The child hurriedly ran towards Gu Yunlan. When he was approaching this side, his feet slipped and fell heavily to the ground, "Wow!"
"Smelly boy! You are running! I don't interrupt your legs today, see if you dare to my stuff!" The man was dirty and his face was very fierce. He held up the wooden stick in front of several people. No matter what, hit the child's back directly.
Just when he was about to fall on his back, a jade hand held the stick, directly preventing the stick from going down.
The man was a little angry, but he was overjoyed when he saw that hand. He quickly raised his head and saw a beauty, the fairy in his eyes. He couldn't help but stare blankly, his eyes were full of possessiveness.
Gu Yunlan's eyes condensed, her hand twisted vigorously, and the stick took off the man's hand easily. She took the stick and hit the man's wretched face sideways, "Pop!"
The man screamed to the ground and rolled on the ground not far away, covering his face!
"Smelly girl! You're looking for death!" A group of dirty men walked over viciously as soon as the man landed.
The child turned pale suddenly, enduring the pain in his knees and quickly stood up, stood in front of Gu Yunlan, turned his back to her and said, "Big sister! Go! I'm tired of you, go!"
Gu Yunlan's eyes flashed, this child's character is good! She curled up the corners of her mouth in disdain, and glanced at the few people who were making porridge in the distance. There was a bit noisy over there, but at this moment, the eyes over there came over.
Bai Yiran was a little worried about going over, but was stopped by Zhang Yu, as if to say something.
Gu Yunlan smiled at them, stretched out the wooden stick to pull the child behind him, and said, "Stay away from me, it's been a long time since I did it. Today, let you see how this young lady is!"
