Planting a fairy in ancient times

Chapter 402 428. Do You Want Sweet Potatoes?
Zou Mingtao had an unshaven beard, bloodshot eyes, and crumpled official robes, as if he hadn't slept for a few days.

If it weren't for Chen Xiaoyu's recognition of people not by appearance but by breath, the one who almost didn't recognize the slovenly person in front of him would be the handsome Zou Mingtao in the past.

"No." Zou Mingtao shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Miss Xiaoyu, Zou is not sick. He has too many worries these days and can't sleep at night! To tell the truth, Miss Zou has not closed his eyes for three days and three nights." gone."

"Ah? Master Zou, you have to take good care of yourself!" Chen Xiaoyu was stunned.

It was the first time Chen Xiaoyu saw such a dedicated official.

Didn't close your eyes for three days and three nights?
Isn't this Zou Mingtao afraid of his sudden death?

"Zou came here today, and I really want to ask Miss Xiaoyu for something." Zou Mingtao said with a wry smile.

Zou Mingtao also wants to take care of his health!Unfortunately, after learning that all the food in the official warehouse could not be used, Zou Mingtao racked his brains every day, thinking about how to get through this difficult time.

Zou Mingtao had something on his mind, so it was strange that he could sleep.

Before the rebels came, the price of food in Pingjiang Mansion had risen a lot.

After the rebels left, food prices in Fucheng started a new wave of rise.

Yesterday, a catty of rice cost five hundred cash.Even a catty of chaff costs twenty coins.In this way, the grain shop is still limited to one catty per person per day.

Last night, Zou Mingtao finally couldn't help but make a move.

Zou Mingtao asked Huang Butou to lead the people, and "invited" all the grain merchants to the county government office for tea.

Then, in the name of Zhizhou Yamen, Zou Mingtao "borrowed" all the grain in the warehouses of the grain merchants.

Unfortunately, there is not much grain left in the warehouses of the grain merchants.

Zou Mingtao dragged his exhausted body and worked all night with several masters, and finally counted the "borrowed" food.

Looking at the ledger, Zou Mingtao was dumbfounded.

There are more than 1 people living in the city of Pingjiang Fu, but the current grain storage is only more than 3 catties.

On average, one person has more than two catties of food. Even if they count the rice grains every day, it is still not enough for the people in Fucheng to eat for half a month.

what to do?Could it be that after eating the food, they watched the people starve to death?

This morning, Zou Mingtao's mind was full of food.

It's a pity that food is not something that can be obtained just by thinking about it.Because of the war, even if Zou Mingtao paid a high price, he might not be able to buy food in the surrounding states.

Not to mention, Zhizhou Yamen couldn't even get 1000 taels of silver.

It is even more impossible to wait for help from above.As long as the imperial court has a little way, it will not confiscate all the grain in the official warehouse.

Zou Mingtao had no choice but to try his luck at Chen Xiaoyu's place.

When he was a child, Zou Mingtao heard fairy tales from his nanny.

In the story, the gods are omnipotent, and can conjure candies, chicken legs, fairy peaches and so on.

Zou Mingtao wanted to ask Chen Xiaoyu, would "Master Fairy" become food?If possible, Zou Mingtao would like to ask "Master Fairy" to show mercy and change some food to help the people tide over the difficulties.

However, after seeing Chen Xiaoyu, Zou Mingtao hesitated.

The fairy tales were just casually told by the nanny when Zou Mingtao was a child when he was coaxing him to sleep.

If he asked Chen Xiaoyu like this, Chen Xiaoyu wouldn't think he was out of his mind, would he?

After all, the gods in the story don’t even need to eat food, they only need to drink the wind and eat dew every day. How could it be possible to become food?
"Master Zou is looking for me, is there something wrong?" Seeing that Zou Mingtao hadn't spoken for a while, Chen Xiaoyu could only ask.

"Miss Xiaoyu, Zou wants to talk to "Master Fairy". I wonder if Miss Xiaoyu can introduce you?" Zou Mingtao gritted his teeth and said after recovering.

Zou Mingtao didn't want to give up a glimmer of hope.

Even if Chen Xiaoyu treats her as a "crazy person", it's better than being helpless looking at the empty granary every day.

"My master doesn't see outsiders, so if Zou Zhizhou has something to do, just tell me." Chen Xiaoyu turned cold.

Chen Xiaoyu thought that Zou Mingtao was bringing up old things again, and came to beg Mr. Fairy to come to Fucheng to sit in town, and felt a little impatient.

"Miss Xiaoyu, I have something to ask "Master Fairy", can you be the master?" Zou Mingtao glanced at Chen Xiaoyu in surprise.

"Of course!" Chen Xiaoyu raised her head and said proudly, "Master, I can do [-]% of what I can do. Zou Zhizhou can say it if he wants to, and it's okay if he doesn't want to."

"Miss Xiaoyu, I would like to ask "Miss Fairy" to do her a favor and bring out some food. Pingjiang Mansion's food reserves are running out. If this continues, the people will starve to death." Zou Mingtao pursed his lips and said.

"Food..." Chen Xiaoyu hesitated.

Chen Xiaoyu really has food.

Before there was a famine in various places, Chen Xiaoyu ordered Xiao Zhuizi to plant a lot of sweet potatoes in the glazed cup.

Today, Chen Xiaoyu's glazed cup is full of sweet potatoes.

When Zou Mingtao was the county magistrate in Changzhou County, Chen Xiaoyu once helped Zou Mingtao with tens of thousands of catties of sweet potatoes.

Later, because of Xiao Zhuizi's objection, Chen Xiaoyu never used those sweet potatoes.

[No, no, master, you can no longer give food. ] Sure enough, the little pendant popped up again.

【why?God, doesn't it recognize me? 】Chen Xiaoyu said unconvinced.

【Master, it is because of the way of heaven that recognized you.You can't just change the direction of this time and space casually!Otherwise, you...you will still be struck by lightning. ] Xiao Zhuizi felt a little guilty when he said this.

Whether Tiandao will split Chen Xiaoyu, Xiao Zhuizi actually doesn't know.

Xiao Zhuizi just subconsciously felt that Chen Xiaoyu shouldn't bring out the food.

This world should be as chaotic as possible, but Shenjun is waiting to harvest a large wave of merit points!

Huh?Who is the god?

Xiao Zhuizi felt that the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

【Why do I feel that your words are somewhat contradictory? 】Chen Xiaoyu felt that Xiao Zhuizi was contradicting himself, but after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out why.

"Miss Xiaoyu, please tell "Master Fairy" to help Pingjiang Mansion raise 20 catties of food back. I, Zou Mingtao... will replace the people of Pingjiang Mansion, thank you for your great kindness!" Zou Mingtao He bent his legs and knelt down.

Chen Xiaoyu's hesitation made Zou Mingtao think that Chen Xiaoyu didn't want to help.

After all, asking for something from "Master Fairy" will definitely make "Master Fairy" unhappy.

It is not surprising that Chen Xiaoyu is unwilling to help.

"Zou Zhizhou, please get up quickly." Chen Xiaoyu was startled, and quickly jumped aside, avoiding Zou Mingtao's kneeling.

It is said that men have gold under their knees.

Not to mention that Zou Mingtao is still the magistrate of the prefecture!

Chen Xiaoyu was really afraid that Zou Mingtao would kneel down her luck.

"Miss Xiaoyu, if you don't agree to Mingtao's request, Mingtao won't be able to kneel here forever." Zou Mingtao played a rogue.
