"That's right." Zhou Ying nodded, then paused and said, "By the way, in the past two days someone has paid 15 cents a catty to collect sweet potatoes in the village. Do you know who it is?"

"With such a high price, it can't be that the rich man is collecting seeds?" Shopkeeper Liu asked thoughtfully.

It seems that I have to send someone to inquire about it. It doesn't matter if it is really only bought by rich people.

I'm afraid that someone will play tricks, and the villagers will not be able to eat in the end, and it will be troublesome if they direct their anger at the master.

"I don't know, I just listened to it, and there are quite a few for sale in the village."

"Isn't this digging your own grave? That sweet potato is life-saving food." Chang Shun said with a look of astonishment after hearing this.

"Each family has its own schemes, and we can't control it." After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she went to the cowshed and sheepshed, and was relieved when she saw that the birth rate had dropped significantly.

After asking them to store more firewood, they went straight home.

After returning home, seeing that it was still early, I boiled a pot of millet and white potato porridge.

Afterwards, I put the sweet potato grains that were drying outside into the house, and then went into the space to fry a portion of garlic rapeseed, a portion of twice-cooked pork, and cut a plate of sauced beef.

After Gu Chengrui came back, he started eating directly.

After dinner, Zhou Ying came back from washing the dishes and saw Gu Chengrui sitting in a daze at the end of the kang, she was stunned and walked over and said, "What's the matter, is something wrong?"

Gu Chengrui hugged her into his arms and said: "Malaria and dysentery have appeared in the south, and now all the insecticides, bactericides, and detoxification drugs have been adjusted."

"It's a good thing. If someone adjusts the medicine, it means that the imperial court is doing disaster relief."

"That's right, I hope there will be fewer deaths. I am mainly worried that something will happen here, and there is no medicine available."

"Hey, it's been two years. It's either this disaster or that disaster. I don't know when it will calm down."

"It should be soon, if this continues, human beings will be extinct."

"hope so."

Early the next morning, as soon as Gu Chengrui left, Mrs. Bai came over with the soles of her shoes.

Zhou Ying was stunned for a moment and said, "Auntie, you are a rare visitor, hurry up and sit in the room."

"I'm fine, it's not time to relax, I'm here to chat with you.

Let's just sit in the courtyard, it's still warm with the sun. "

"It's okay, I just cut some sweet potatoes to dry." After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she first brought two stools over.

Then he came out with a bag of sweet potatoes, began to wash and rub the sweet potatoes, and finally cut them into small pieces.

"Your work is so fine, I cut it into pieces." Bai said in surprise.

"Idle is also idle, what do you mean, your house is all hung up?"

"Yes, we have a large number of people, a large place, and rough work, so naturally it will be faster."

After the two chatted for a few words, Mrs. Bai began to complain in a low voice.

All the sweet potatoes in the family helped the daughter, and she was not allowed to help the natal family.

Also, there are delicious food, whether they have enough to eat or not, let's share a share with the daughter's family first, etc. In short, it is all kinds of dissatisfaction with the village chief's handling of things.

In particular, for the relief, the sweet potatoes were distributed to the daughter's family on a head-by-head basis.

When she arrived at her natal home, the whole family only sent two hundred catties and some vegetables, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Then he looked at Zhou Ying and said, "Girl Ying, you said that this matter is not a nuisance. If I knew it, I shouldn't have let the child's aunt stay in the village."

After hearing this, Zhou Ying hesitated and asked, "Auntie, did Tieniu's aunt take a share of your family's food?

In other words, did you share your sweet potatoes? "

"That's not true. At the beginning, they helped to collect sweet potatoes, transport sweet potatoes, and call them sweet potatoes.

In the end, the third prince regarded his family, and his cousin's family, as sweet potatoes shared by our own family. "
