012 Big Jailer

Entering the big courtyard three times, you can see the original scenery of the owner's house, but the owner had the foresight to move away a few years ago.

When Shi Hai's garrison was in the town, these empty houses were centralized and managed, and his officers and soldiers lived scattered in various places.

Now that Jiang Chuye needs an empty house, this is the first place he thinks of.

After a brief visit, Jiang Chuye was very satisfied with the place.

The surrounding area is open and easy to guard.

The courtyard wall is very high, so as long as the door is closed, the outside cannot see inside, and it is also convenient for Mei Niang to take things outside.

As for the soldiers guarding the house, he was not worried. Those people only obeyed military orders. As long as an order was given, he was not afraid that anyone would dare to leak it. Besides, they guarding the outside would not know too much.

The excuse of gods is really awe-inspiring and fearful in an era when most people believe in ghosts and gods. Who is not afraid of retribution for offending gods?

As for how to put the food inside, Jiang Chuye had already thought about it.

He holds the key to the yard in his hand. When would it be inconvenient to put something in there?

On that day, Jiang Chuye took Meiniang and Yunxuan to live in Niu Mansion. Jiang Chuye and Yunxuan each chose a main room in the second courtyard, while Meiniang lived in the innermost courtyard.

According to Jiang Chuye's arrangement, the room where the gods gave food was in this courtyard, which made it easier for Mei Niang to move around.

Although she was the only one living in the huge courtyard, there were guards outside the walls, so she had nothing to fear.

She had only been out for a few days and didn't know what was going on at home, so she was still quite worried. She thought she would go back and take a look when the food was ready.

After settling in, Jiang Chu went out at night. Yunxuan and Mei Niang moved two rocking chairs and sat in the yard drinking tea.

In this rare leisurely day, they drank tea and basked in the afternoon sun, both of them fell asleep.

When Jiang Chuye came back, he saw the sleeping brother and sister. He gently walked to Meiniang and patted her awake.

Before Mei Niang could speak, she made a silent gesture and then motioned Mei Niang to follow her.

There were only three people here, and he didn't want to have Yunxuan as an eyesore when getting along with Mei Niang.

Besides, Yun Xuan can't let Yun Xuan know what he and Mei Niang will do next.

When they arrived at the front yard, the carriage that Jiang Chuye had driven earlier was already parked there, with two large bamboo baskets placed on it.

Jiang Chuye asked Mei Niang to fill one bamboo basket with fruits and the other with various vegetables, and then cover it with two straw curtains.

He opened the side door, took Meiniang with him, got into the carriage, and went out.

"Where are we going?" Mei Niang knew that Jiang Chuye was taking her to buy vegetables and fruits. She just had nothing to say and wanted to keep in touch with each other. Otherwise, it would be boring for the two of them to be silent all the time.

Jiang Chu, the night thief, smiled and said, "Kill the big family."

Just looking at Jiang Chuye's expression, Mei Niang began to mourn for the wealthy man who was going to be slaughtered. Seeing him like this didn't count as slaughtering him until he was skinned.

The carriage went all the way, and many people stopped to watch.

Although the car was covered with a straw curtain, they could guess that there was food in the car. At this time, besides food, what else was worth covering so tightly?

And that horse is so strong and strong. How many times can you know how many times it was killed?

There were various expressions on his face, but among the officers and soldiers carrying weapons walking back and forth on the road, none of them dared to come up and put their ideas into practice.

There was a lot of chaos in the town some time ago, with robberies and killings happening everywhere, and even living people were dragged back to their homes to be killed and eaten. However, since Shi Hai led his troops to station, he used severe torture and killed some people to take advantage of the chaos.

It hurts, but the atmosphere in the town has improved a lot.

What's more, Shi Hai also gave out porridge for disaster relief. Although he didn't care about being full, he was still hungry.

As long as they can survive, most people are unwilling to take risks.

Besides, the food distributed to the officers and soldiers has been dry since yesterday. After more than a year, we finally have enough to eat.

I also heard that the food was given by the gods. The gods were thinking of them. Good times were definitely coming. Who would be willing to take risks?

Therefore, although Jiang Chuye and Meiniang's carriage was coveted by many people, they still arrived at their destination safely and entered through the side door.

Someone in charge brought someone over to help unload the truck, so Jiang Chuye and Mei Niang didn't have to do anything.

As soon as the straw curtain was opened, bursts of fruity and vegetable fragrance wafted out, and even the steward, who was accustomed to the world, couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Nowadays, the weather is dry and it is not easy to grow anything. It is a good life to eat tofu every day. He has not seen such fresh and tender vegetables for a long time.

A few days ago, I heard somewhere that Huang Mansion bought vegetables at a huge price, and his eyes turned red with envy.

Calling these stewards over and giving them a scolding is just because they think they are incompetent. Why can the stewards of the Huang Mansion buy vegetables but they can't?

You must know that in this small town, his father is one of the largest households, and his family only supports more than 20 nursing homes.

Like the thugs who came to snatch food from your door some time ago, they didn't take advantage.

Unexpectedly, he was in such a hurry that someone came to do business with him. Not only did he have a variety of dishes, but he also had fruits that even Mr. Huang had not tasted.

If these were shown to the master, he would be promoted as a manager.

However, the price is really expensive, one tael of silver per pound. Doesn’t this sound like robbery?

But as people say, vegetables and fruits are grown by gods, so they are expensive for a reason.

The steward also heard about the food given by the gods, but he didn't believe it at first. How could it be so miraculous?

Besides, how can you take out the things given by the gods?

But when he saw these two baskets of things, he really believed it.

Not to mention it was a bad year, even in a good year, he had never seen such good vegetables and fruits. They all looked like they were carved out of jade, and their fragrance was not as ordinary as usual.

Besides, is it possible to grow this kind of vegetables and this kind of fruit in this kind of season?

Since it is something grown by gods, is it worth a pound or a tael of silver?

Of course...it's not expensive!

Not only is it not expensive, it is also quite cheap. Can mortals eat the food grown by gods?

The steward was talking to Jiang Chuye while looking at each other, and if he could sell things given by the gods, he must have a special relationship with the gods, and he was at least a semi-immortal.

If an elixir comes out, he might have a chance to become an immortal, right?

However, Jiang Chuye didn't even glance at him, except for staring at him over there.

He endured it, and everyone said that gods were aloof and arrogant, but he, a little mortal, still couldn't get into the eyes of gods.

But it's not wrong to say too much good things, right? His lips fluttered, which really made Jiang Chuye's face look much better, and he was no longer frighteningly cold.

The vegetables and fruits were weighed, totaling 213 kilograms. The steward asked someone to take 220 taels and handed them to Jiang Chuye, but Jiang Chuye accepted them without any courtesy.
