Unfortunately, Mrs. Wen still didn't look at her, but turned to look at the others, "Do you all have any other opinions?"
Any other comments?
Even though Qiao Yuyan didn't have much food in his hands, it was still more than what was left.
If everyone wants to live for two more days, they must either listen to her, or even if they want to steal it from her, they must be able to beat the maid who is chopping the tree with her bare hands.
So no one had any objections.
As for Mrs. Wen's face, no one can actually care about it. At the moment, eating is more important, and everything else is vain.
After reaching this agreement, Qiao Yuyan immediately asked several people to move the remaining food from the kitchen to his house, and asked Shi Ye to lead people to search room after room.
When Qiao Yuyan asked for her share, a few excited people followed her, such as the Chu family and several aunts.
It's just that the ones that were not well hidden have been raided before, but some people have hidden some.
Princess Jiahe has been too lazy to go out these days, and she didn't even join in the fun just now.
But the people around her were also excited and figured everything out immediately, so when the leaves came, she happily gave them away.
Qiao Yuyan and Wen Shi took a few confidant maids to register all the food they could collect, then calculated the population and began to formulate a diet plan.
The servants in the outer courtyard are all panic-stricken. All the food has been gathered into the hands of the sixth wife. They can no longer see a grain of rice, and they are afraid that the next step will be endless torture of hunger.
Who knew that in the evening, Qiao Yuyan came to the outer courtyard in person, appointed three stewards who were usually more prestigious in the mansion, and then handed over today's rice from the outer courtyard to them.
And told everyone that every morning, the maid in front of Qiao Yuyan would bring them food for them to redistribute themselves, and the maid in the inner courtyard would take out the food under everyone's eyes.
As for the inner courtyard, Grandma Wang and Pinlan were divided into rooms one by one. Of course, there was also a Shi Ye guarding the rear.
The meaning is obvious, you have to follow her assignment!
Qiao Yuyan grew up in Jiangzhou, and the Xu family was a merchant family. Words like good weather and good weather are just beautiful visions. How can there be no year without natural and man-made disasters?
In the past, my uncle often told them about places where there was no harvest due to drought, floods, and locust plagues. Whenever this happened, grandma would waive the rent in the corresponding area and reduce the harvest by 50% next year. If it was really severe, she would also
Find ways to help those tenants tide over the difficulties.
In the face of hunger and survival, anything can happen.
The current situation was actually not much different from those situations, so Qiao Yuyan specifically asked the chief steward of the outer courtyard to select a few stout servants to patrol day and night, in order to avoid fighting.
At night, except in the old lady's room, Xu Zheng had to turn off the lights and take a rest.
In this way, both the inner and outer courtyards have entered into a unified routine under strict management.
Of course, there are also people who are dissatisfied with this arrangement, such as the couple living in a three-bedroom apartment, and Mrs. Wen’s house.
But everyone else thinks this is no problem. At least now they can still eat and survive according to Qiao Yuyan's arrangements. As for how many days they can live well, they can only wait.
After all, this is already the optimal solution.
Therefore, those who were dissatisfied had no choice but to accept this arrangement along with everyone else.
Seeing that it was Xu time, Shiye and a few women came to Qiao Yuyan's house after completing their last inspection.
Since it is stipulated that others cannot light lamps, the same applies to their houses.
Seeing Shi Ye put on night clothes, Qiao Yuyan looked a little worried, "Be careful!"
Shi Ye showed a rare smile, "Just don't worry, madam."
The Wen family's house is not small, with so many houses inside and outside. Even if the food is still in the Wen family, it is not easy to find the exact location.
Finding something is the next best thing. If you can't do it today, there is still tomorrow, so it can always be delayed for two or three days.
But if someone discovers it, he will die immediately.
No matter how powerful Shi Ye is in martial arts, he can't beat four palms with two fists. What's more, if he is discovered, he will be a ready-made handle. What is Zhao going to do? The people in their room will not be able to do anything by then.
Mermaid meat.
To take a step back, I didn't take it seriously, but if some unpleasant words were spread, would all the female relatives in this house still be alive?
Mrs. Wen knew what she was thinking, but there was nothing she could do about it.
The two of them sat in the dark, neither of them sleepy.
Fortunately, it only took more than an hour before Gathering Leaves came back, carrying two bags of rice.
Qiao Yuyan touched the sweat on her forehead and felt a little distressed. Knowing that she was rushing back in a hurry, she couldn't say any comforting words.
Shi Ye said in a brisk tone, "I couldn't find the place where they hid the food. It was stolen from our original big kitchen. They have been cooking directly in that kitchen these days, but they asked me to bring something else.
.”
Qiao Yuyan touched it, and sure enough, the leaf picker actually brought over half a bag of vegetables.
Wen was also very surprised, "Although it's good to be full now, eating porridge and steamed buns every day makes my mouth really bitter. I didn't think this cabbage and radish was delicious before, but now it's more delicious than the delicacies next to it."
Be touching."
Qiao Yuyan didn't answer. She thought for a while and then said: "Pick up leaves, don't bring these things in in the future."
"Why?" Qixi, who was watching the night, was putting things away, and couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this.
"First, we are not worried about scarcity but inequality. There is not enough food for everyone, and it is not good to treat anyone less. Secondly, we are fair enough, everyone can share one or two bites.
But we can’t explain the origin of this thing.
Yesterday when we were putting things away, we could see how many things there were in the kitchen. Zhilan was also staring at us when we took the things. We couldn’t answer when others asked. What if someone stared at this?
Are you causing trouble for us?"
Wen Shi nodded in agreement upon hearing this, "It's true, no one will die if there is no food to eat, but if it causes conflicts, then there will really be blood."
Shi Ye also agreed with what Qiao Yuyan said. As expected, he only brought rice and noodles later. But there were so many things in the big kitchen that those people couldn't count them all. Shi Ye couldn't bring more, and he saw that they had less and less things here.
, Qiao Yuyan was also a little anxious.
On the fifth night, Shiye finally brought good news and found the place where they hid the food.
