Chapter 351 No more food

The old man pointed at the green vegetables growing on the wall, his face showing great satisfaction.

"Princess, we've grown so many vegetables, and we still have extra seeds at home, enough to eat."

Although this greenhouse only covers one acre, there are things planted on the four walls, so it must be about two or three acres.

Now the crops are full of small vegetables. Not to mention a dozen people, even if there are more people, they can’t finish eating them.

Following the direction of his finger, Qin Chuchu looked at the pakchoy and rapeseed plants on the four walls.

There were indeed quite a lot of them, and they looked quite spectacular. As he looked at them, he seemed to remember something and turned to look at the old man again.

"How do you eat these side dishes?"

She pointed at the green dishes on the wall, not knowing how they ate them.

Hearing Qin Chuchu's question, the old man's face was full of happiness again.

"Princess, there are many ways to eat it. You can boil it in water, mix it with paste, or blanch it in water and dip it in sauce. It can be full in two meals.

If you’re feeling a bit extravagant, you can even make some dumplings. They’re delicious no matter how you eat them.”

The old man had a look of satisfaction and happiness on his face. In the country of Dayu, perhaps only the people of Qingzhou Prefecture could live such a happy life.

People in other places have been digging wild vegetables in the mountains and valleys all day long. I heard a few days ago that some places have started eating tree bark.

Not only do they no longer need to dig wild vegetables and tree bark, they can also eat such juicy side dishes and drink sweet deep well water, which was something they could not even imagine before.

But Qin Chuchu felt sad when she heard this and frowned.

"Don't you have any food left at home?"

She looked at the old man in front of her. From what he said, even having a dry meal was a luxury. Could it be that there was no food left at home?

"Oh, not much. I thought I'd save some and eat well until the autumn harvest. After all, the price of food is too high now."

A trace of embarrassment crossed the old man's face. The price of food had increased many times, and they could not afford it.

But soon, he perked up again and pointed excitedly at the side dishes on the wall.

"But we have so many side dishes, and the whole family won't go hungry. We can still have a full meal. We just need to wait a little longer until the new food comes in."

“…………”Qin Chuchu.

I felt a little uncomfortable, what should I do? I turned to look at the man next to me.

Just like me, his brows were tightly furrowed.

Han Muchen looked at the green vegetables on the wall, and a look of worry appeared on his face.

“…………”

It seems that food is really a big problem and we have to find a way to solve it.

Although he saw that his fellow villagers were not starving, their lives were not as good as he had imagined.

After leaving the greenhouse, I visited several other houses and found that the plants inside were growing in basically the same way.

They did not go any further, but instead sent Eunuch Li onto the carriage and went to another village.

After all, one technician is in charge of this village, and he can see the overall situation by visiting a few households.

In the next few villages we visited, we also visited a few houses symbolically, and the growth was similar to that in the first village.

This made the man quite satisfied. It seemed that the technicians he taught had remembered everything and communicated it well to the villagers.

In order not to disturb the villagers, we had lunch in the carriage and continued our journey in the afternoon.

We visited about 20 villages throughout the day. Since the crops were all planted at about the same time, their growth rates were similar.

They walked until it was getting dark before they came out of the last greenhouse.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, let's go back!"

Qin Chuchu forced her eyelids to look at the man in front of her. It felt really bad to not have had a nap at noon.

Although I am no longer sleepy, I still feel very tired and have no energy.

“…………”Han Muchen.

He lowered his eyes to look at the wilted little face in front of him, then looked at Jinzhou Prefecture in front of him.

If he walked any further, he would be out of his fiefdom, so there was no need to go any further. He nodded at Qin Chuchu.

"good."

He was about to pull Qin Chuchu into the carriage when he heard shouting in the distance.

"Stop, stop right there! Or I'll beat you to death!"

“………………”Qin Chuchu.

She stopped, stretched her neck to look forward, and saw a group of people in uniform running towards her.

In front of them, there was a thin young man running desperately.

After a while, they rushed into the mountains, and only then did she realize that there were so many people carrying baskets and digging wild vegetables on the hillside.

From here, it almost covers the entire hillside.

She was no longer confused and alert, and she shook off the man's hand.

"I'll go check it out!"

After saying that, he ran over.

“………………”Han Muchen frowned.

He glanced at Feng Qi behind him, and the latter understood and followed immediately.

By the time Qin Chuchu rushed to the foot of the mountain, the group of men in uniform had already climbed up the mountain before her.

She looked up and saw that when she got closer, she realized that the mountains were full of people digging wild vegetables. It was really rare to see so many people in such a sparsely populated area.

Without hesitation, he climbed up with his butt sticking out, running towards the people in uniform.

Suddenly a group of soldiers arrived, and those who were digging wild vegetables were frightened and fled in all directions.

Some hid behind trees, while others stood in groups of three or five. They all had terrified eyes, staring straight at the men in uniform, with extreme fear in their hearts.

“………………”

Could it be that the quarry is out to arrest people again!

Some were holding shovels, some were holding spades, and some were looking for sticks everywhere. In a short while, everyone had a tool in their hands.

He stared at the group of uniformed men vigilantly, looking ready to fight at any time.

When Qin Chuchu arrived, she saw those people in uniform searching for something in the crowd.

"Get out here, you little bastard!"

The tall and thin man standing in front kept scanning the crowd with a long knife in his hand, cursing angrily.

Wherever we went, the people there were so scared that they raised their weapons, as if to say, "You can't come over here."

“…………” Qin Chuchu’s brows were twisted together.

I had no idea what these men in uniform were doing, and as I was wondering about it, I heard heart-wrenching shouts from the front.

"Let me go! Let me go now!"

“………………” Qin Chuchu looked up.

Looking ahead, I saw the tall and thin man pulling a skinny young man. I guess he was the one they were chasing.

"You little bastard, I'll beat you to death when I get back!"

The tall and thin man grabbed the young man's collar and dragged him forward, cursing non-stop.

When he passed by the crowd, not only did no one dare to step forward to ask, but everyone was so scared that they hid back.

They all watched helplessly as the young man was dragged away by the tall and thin man.

But I dare not mess with these guys. It would be terrible if I were caught in the quarry.

When Qin Chuchu saw the young man's familiar face, she stopped them.

"Wait a moment!"
