Chapter 702 Looking for the cellar
"Mother Awang," Xi Yao subconsciously warned her when she left: "Although food is expensive now, the war will not end in a short time. If you have the ability, it is better to stock up on food at home!"
When Awang's mother, who was about to leave with a basket on her back, heard this, she looked at her in surprise and whispered: "Did you hear something, sister?"
Villagers like them, even if they are close to the military camp, will not know about many things happening right under their noses.
On the other hand, Xi Yao, her man was in the military camp and lived at Lao Yu's house, so she must have better information than them.
Xi Yao shook her head and said: "My man didn't say anything to me, but the war will not stop for a short time." She lowered her voice and said: "Be prepared, there are still children at home!"
If someone doesn't want Da Gan to win, they will definitely do something.
Food prices are probably the easiest thing for people to take action on.
By then, I'm afraid there will be internal and external troubles.
Mother Awang thought of her child, and immediately pursed her lips and said, "Then I will bring some back today!"
Seeing that she listened, Xi Yao nodded in support.
If you have food at home, you won't panic.
The women who followed Awang Niang were all happy because they made money yesterday, and they were all willing to listen to Awang Niang.
After seeing Awang Niang buying a lot of whole grains and beans, she was puzzled. One of the women asked casually: "Awang Niang, why did the girl who lives in Lao Yu's house let you buy so many whole grains?"
"There are things here that the girl asked for, and there are things I bought myself," Awang's mother said in a low voice: "The war is going on, and the court didn't send much food and grass. There is no food in the military camp. I'm afraid it will be linked to the city. We They all have children, so it won’t hurt to stock up a little!”
Several people looked at each other, and finally thought about the wages their men brought back yesterday, and they all gritted their teeth and said, "Then let's buy some too!"
"Don't tell the outside world. If we know that people in Aozi Village are hoarding food, if there is really no food, we will become a thorn in others' eyes!" Mother Awang reminded.
Several people nodded vigorously and said, "Mother Awang, don't worry. People in our village know the pain of hunger best. Who dares to talk about it outside!"
When Awang heard this, she felt relieved and said, "We bought a lot today. Tomorrow we will go to the city and buy separately. Don't buy too much at once, so as not to be noticed!"
After the discussion, they carried back everything Xi Yao asked for, got their wages, and then went back to figure out how much food they would buy...
After buying all the things he wanted, and looking at the piles of things, Xi Yao said to Zhou Li with peace of mind: "Just take your fourth uncle with you, and the three of us will eat thick and thin grains, which will last for two months. If you stock up a little more then, there’s no need to panic!”
Zhou Li looked around and whispered: "Fourth Aunt, is there a cellar here? These things are so eye-catching!"
It's okay if nothing happens, but if something happens, there will be more people looking for food in the mountains. Then someone deliberately climbs in here and sees so much food, fearing that something will happen.
Xi Yao was reminded, his heart trembled, and he immediately agreed: "Ali, you are right, let's go see if there is a cellar here!"
She closed the courtyard door, and then she and Zhou Li started to search separately. After a lot of effort, they finally found the cellar behind the house.
