"Then put the salt warehouses only during the war. There is still a shortage right now, and I heard from my colleagues that the salt merchants sent by the feudal lord to transport them back from the Lingnan Salt Lake caught the plague halfway, and the salt was robbed in Nanzhou County."

"Huh? Got robbed?" Ah Jiu also wanted to change some salt to help her mother back up: "Don't we have a salt number ourselves in this generation? Why do we have to transport it from outside?"

"Yes." Tuoba Yan looked at the sky and murmured: "Yes, I heard that it is Li Dachang and Li Yuanwai, who used to run away from salt, but now the old man quit."

It turned out to be like this, no wonder the old thing saved so much money.

Everyone in this era knows that the most expensive things are salt and sugar.

"Then don't you usually put salt in your vegetables?" Ah Jiu asked suspiciously.

"What is a vegetable?"

"..." Ah Jiu looked at Tuoba Yan for a long while, and she couldn't talk for a day, but she was unwilling: "It's just stir-fried, flavorful and oily dishes."

"Sister Ajiu, I've never seen the kind of dish you mentioned. The best one is the white steamed bun I left you."

After Tuobayan said this, Ah Jiu realized that steamed buns are the best food.

"However, how can there be salt in the yamen?" Ah Jiu said to himself.

"However, I have seen our boss eat that kind of dish served on a plate. Maybe we soldiers are not qualified for that. We only have three steamed buns a day."

As soon as Tuoba Yan said this, Ah Jiu gave him a sympathetic look.

But at this time, being able to distribute three steamed buns a day is quite a good treatment: "Oh, forget it, salt is hard to come by."

"Yeah, did it grow?" Tuoba Yan just looked away from the starry sky when he was startled by the sapling under his eyelids:
"So fast?"

"Hush." ​​Ah Jiu made a silent gesture first: "I planted it, so it naturally grows fast."

Xiao Yanyan raised her thumb, leaned over to stare at the sapling, and then looked at the ever-extending watermelon seedlings: "Hey, they are still climbing on my feet."

Tuoba Yan took two steps back.

Ah Jiu has been able to accurately grasp the time of maturity, taking advantage of the empty village now: "Xiao Yanyan, you go home and secretly bring the frame, one is not enough, take the big frame for the hay in Grandpa Niu's cowshed Bring it too."

"Okay." Tuoba Yan got up and ran home.

Ah Jiu fantasized about the scene of getting food in exchange for tomorrow, and felt that this road to escape from the famine would not be so hard.

As soon as Grandma came back, the whole family was reunited again.

At this moment, Ah Jiu saw a few people dressed as refugees suddenly coming to the village.

They looked back nervously as they ran towards the village, as if they were being chased.

Ah Jiu also looked at the entrance of the village, it was very quiet there, and there was no one else.

The three of them also felt relieved and slumped on the ground, gasping for breath.

After a while, the watermelon flowers bloomed, and the pomegranate tree also grew taller, with small red flowers hanging on it.

The florets fell in just half an incense stick, leaving pomegranates the size of quail eggs.

Watermelons are also as big as eggs.

Ah Jiu was a little worried, and from time to time, she was vigilant about the three people sitting slumped on the village road.

Suddenly, one of the three who had been silent for a while covered his face and cried, "They're all dead... they're all dead, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

"You still have the energy to cry, so save your energy, this place is full of residents, at worst, we'll have to grab some food to fill our stomachs."

Ah Jiu shrank into the darkness, watching the three get up and enter the alley.

Ah Jiu screamed badly, that was the alley of Grandpa Niu's house.

Before she could settle her mind, Ah Jiu clearly saw Tuoba Yan coming out with two big boxes, one big and one small.

"Who are you?"
