Yun Ya couldn't help but worry when he saw Yun Miaomiao sitting on a stool and not speaking for a long time.
"Cousin..." He shouted softly, "Cousin..."
Yun Miaomiao came back to her senses instantly when she heard his voice, "Ah, Yun Ya, have you packed up?"
She glanced around and saw that everything had been cleaned.
Yun Ya hummed, "Cousin, are you okay?"
Yun Miaomiao smiled, "What's the matter with me? I was thinking that everyone outside now knows that I have the most food here. The enemy is hiding and I am showing. Who knows who may be eyeing our food behind the scenes?"
You have to think of a way to hide the food. People are in desperate situations, but they can do anything, including murder and arson."
Yun Ya glanced upstairs and asked, "With so much food, where can we hide it?"
He also knew to hide it, but the other party's space was limited. Where else could he put so much food besides the store?
Yun Miaomiao thought for a moment, then stood up suddenly, "I'm going to find Mayor Sun to discuss it. You keep a close eye on the door and don't open it when anyone comes. Do you understand?"
Yun Ya wanted to go with him, but there was so much food here, and after today's troubles, he couldn't rest assured.
"Okay, cousin, go and come back quickly."
Yun Miaomiao picked up the oil lamp and walked towards Mayor Sun's home.
Mayor Sun had just dismissed the group of people. As soon as they dared to sit down, the concierge hurried in.
"Master, Miss Xiaoyun is here."
"Why is she here?" Mayor Sun glanced at the dark night outside in confusion, "Go and invite people in."
The concierge received the order and quickly went to invite the person in. Soon Yun Miaomiao saw Mayor Sun.
"Girl, you were so frightened tonight, why didn't you go to bed earlier and why did you come to my place to cause trouble?" Mayor Sun teased with a smile.
Yun Miaomiao walked up to him and poured herself a glass of water. After drinking it, she straightened her expression and said, "Mayor Sun, I'm here to see you about food."
When Mayor Sun heard that it was about food, he immediately stopped smiling.
"What's up?"
It must be no small matter to make Yun Miaomiao rush over to find him overnight.
Yun Miaomiao took a deep breath before speaking slowly, "That's right, there is a drought everywhere now, and there is not enough food to eat. Someone will come to the town tonight to steal food. Although the food stolen is the food in the granary, there is no guarantee.
Those people are not here to explore the road."
After she said this, Mayor Sun's face instantly turned ugly. If this was really the case, then the next granary would be in danger.
"Then what should I do? I don't know if they are exploring the road now. Isn't this a good thing? If it is true, there is so much food in the granary. How can I sleep here?"
Yun Miaomiao just thought of this, "Mayor Sun, there are people watching the granary. After tonight, we don't dare to take it lightly and just deal with it casually. There shouldn't be any big problem."
She looked at Mayor Sun with a serious look, "But if people outside know that every household in the town has food and is living a ventriloquist life, then wouldn't all the people outside who have no food to eat come here?"
Fleeing and begging in a small town? It would be fine if this was done openly. But if someone is doing some shady things behind the scenes, doing some sneaky things at night, the people in the small town are not wary, and it is easy for someone to steal their property.
Stealing light. We have to take precautions first."
Mayor Sun nodded. What Yun Miaomiao said makes sense. If someone's food rations were really stolen from their home, it would really cost the life of the whole family.
"You're right. I'm going to tell them one by one to hide all the food and hide it tightly."
With that said, Mayor Sun was about to get up. Everyone has not rested tonight, so we have to implement this matter.
"Wait a minute, Mayor Sun." Yun Miaomiao stopped the person, "I didn't mean that."
Mayor Sun looked at her sideways, "If I don't go find them, am I going to watch them have their food stolen?"
If you don't tell them, is there a better solution?
"Of course not." Yun Miaomiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You tell them one by one, do they believe it?"
Mayor Sun pursed his lips and said nothing, and Yun Miaomiao continued, "The incident has not happened to them. Of course they would not believe that someone would break into the house to steal food, and they would also believe that there are men in their families, so that a thief would not steal the food.
Come on, also, even if someone hides the food, will the person who stole the food stop taking it because your family has no food? They will threaten you with sharp knives and make you hand it over."
"This, I really didn't think of this." Mayor Sun looked solemn, "But if you don't tell them, they will do the same thing. Girl Xiaoyun, just tell me what I need to do to keep my life."
Food."
Mayor Sun knew that Yun Miaomiao was a man with ideas, otherwise he would not have come to him so late.
Yun Miaomiao expressed her plan, "I have an idea, but this matter needs everyone's consent before it can be done."
"Please tell me what it is, and I will try my best to cooperate with you." Upon hearing this, Mayor Sun quickly agreed.
"There are people guarding the granary in the town day and night. It is not easy for thieves to take advantage of it. I think the granary is such a big place. If the people in the entire town store their food in the granary and watch it every day, and strengthen the supervision, the thieves will also
Don’t dare to steal it.”
Yun Miaomiao looked at Mayor Sun who was thinking, and continued to add, "We have stored all the food in the granary. When needed, you can take the food stamps to get the food. Also, there are many men in our town.
Since you need to store food in your granary, the original number of people is not enough. You have to recruit a few more people. If there is no man in the family, you will pay a penny a month. If there is a man, you will have a man to guard it for a night. In short, this is to protect everyone.
Food is not something to be joked about."
Mayor Sun also knows about this matter and needs to pay attention to it.
"Okay, I will draft a charter tonight and call the people in the town tomorrow to sit down and talk together. Some people are stealing food tonight, and the situation outside is not good. This matter needs to be resolved quickly.
OK."
After she finished talking about her own affairs, Yun Miaomiao didn't stay any longer, got up and went back.
After such a night, it was already dark outside. She stood at the street corner and looked at the slowly rising sunrise. The morning sunlight bathed her in it, and the warmth swept through her body. The clouds were dim and deep.
After taking a breath of fresh air, I walked towards the Braised Pork Shop feeling refreshed.
Yun Ya heard the sound of opening the door and woke up immediately in shock, "Who!"
"It's me." Yun Miaomiao walked in and saw him sleeping on the table, "Why didn't you go to bed to rest?"
"I slept well in bed. I was afraid that someone would come in and I wouldn't hear anything." Yun Miaomiao nodded, "Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. Our Braised Pork Shop has a day off. There is a bag of glutinous rice in the corner upstairs. You can go there later.
Take down the bag of glutinous rice and pour it all into the bucket to soak. Pour this one in and soak it together."
Yun Miaomiao took out the alkali powder in her hand. This is the essence of making zongzi.
Yun Ya took the thing in her hand and put it aside, "Sister, what are you going to do?"
Yun Miaomiao hummed, and said with a playful smile, "Make something delicious. I remember I pickled a can of duck eggs last month. You can find it later, wash the eggs and wait for me to come back. The braised meat shop's
Just leave the matter to Lu Yang."
When she said this, she thought of something else, "By the way, Lu Yang will bring his sister Lu Huahua here today. If I don't come back, you should let her sit in the shop for a while and leave a meal for her at noon.
."
"I understand. Cousin, please go and come back quickly." Yun Ya never asked Yun Miaomiao where she was going. As long as nothing happens, she is free.
After Yun Miaomiao finished her porridge, she went out with her bamboo basket. There was a reed marsh to the west of the town. There were a lot of bamboo leaves on both sides of the reed marsh. She had seen it once when she went to see the land last time. The soil there was good.
, the chopsticks leaves that grow out are big and bright. Cut off such fine chopsticks leaves, they are the best leaves for making rice dumplings.
Cut fresh chopsticks leaves and boil them in water to make them green, then soak them in cold water and use them slowly. If you can't use them all, you can dry them in the sun and use them again next year.
