Infinite Doomsday: I rely on space to stock up and bully the scum

"The next place we are going to is called Wushan County. I estimate that this trip will take seven or eight days."

Li Shuming went to inform the Zhou family and told everyone the news he had learned.

Now that people in Daxi Village have food, they are willing to put a little more rice in their daily cooking.

Huang Ying crushed the rice with a grinding tool, while Sun Qiaoqiao used a winnowing basket to sift the crushed rice with husks over and over again to separate the rice from the husks.

The rice is kept for people to eat, and the rice husks are left for the two hens in the house.

During this period of time, the food conditions of the two hens have improved a lot, and their originally plump bodies have become lean.

After all, if people can’t even get enough to eat, what else can chickens eat?

What makes the whole family happy is that the two chickens lay two or three eggs every day without fail. I don’t know how many people in the village envy them.

The only large livestock in the family, the big yellow ox, has become much thinner than before, and its fur is not as shiny and glossy as before. There is less and less fresh green grass to find, so Jiang Jiang has to add some rice husks and millet as supplementary food.

Everyone seems to have a certain resistance to the hot weather, and almost no one has suffered from heatstroke in the past few days.

Jiang Jiang found some mint plants on the roadside. He picked them and boiled a pot of mint water. After the water cooled down, he took a sip and it was very refreshing.

After dinner, Jiang Jiang leaned against a big tree and looked far away in the direction of the Zhou family.

One carriage, two carriages...

She counted and found that the Zhou family had gone into the county town, and there were two fewer carriages when they came out.

There were eight carriages in total, and one-quarter was missing.

It seems that the officials in this county have big appetites.

If Jiang Jiang remembered correctly, the two missing carriages seemed to be loaded with gold, silver, jewelry, and silks.

The former is hard currency, and the latter is the Zhou family’s main product. Anything that can be taken away must be top-quality fabrics and extremely expensive.

However, these losses were not without gains. After leaving Qingyuan County, the Zhou family also replenished a lot of food and meat.

Li Changyuan, who had the most sensitive nose, secretly told Jiang Jiang that he could often smell the aroma of meat coming from the direction of Zhou's house.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Besides, based on Jiang Jiang's understanding of the master and mistress of the Zhou family, they are not the kind of people who can be bullied. The profit-seeking nature of businessmen is fully displayed in them.

She has no right to worry about these things. Being able to live a good life for her family is more important than anything else.

Under the intimidation of the Zhou family's powerful military force, the refugees passing by watched with eager eyes, but no one really dared to muster up the courage to step forward and rob.

The people of Daxi Village followed the Zhou family along the way without any danger. After three or four days of walking, they were closer to Wushan County.

"Mom, is there something on your mind? Tell us so we can think of a solution together."

Huang Ying was a thoughtful person. She noticed that Jiang Jiang had been thinking with his head down for the past two days, so she couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, everyone turned their heads towards Jiang Jiang. The children stopped playing and ran to their grandmother's side.

Jiang Jiang touched the heads of Xiao Shitou and Li Pandi, who were closest to her. She just calculated the date and found out that tomorrow was the birthday of the second daughter of the Zhou family. She didn't know whether to give a gift or what gift would be appropriate.

This was not something shameful, so Jiang Jiang said it out.

Now Jiang Jiang was the only one in trouble, and the whole family was in trouble.

If I give cheap things, people won’t like them. If I give expensive things, I can’t afford them either. It’s really difficult.

Jiang Jiang took a few glances in his space, trying to find something suitable as a gift.

She has a lot of things in her space, but it is not easy to find a gift that meets her requirements and is suitable for her status.

Suddenly, Jiang Jiang thought of the shells he had given to the second daughter of the Zhou family and Mrs. Zhou, who both liked them very much.

So could she give me a seafood gift package with dried shrimps, dried kelp, dried clams, scallops, etc. this time?

These days, it’s never a wrong thing to send food, and it’s never a wrong thing to send the Zhou family some rare and easy-to-preserve food.

That's it!

Jiang Jiang pretended to rummage through the luggage on the ox cart, and pieced together two kilograms of dried kelp, two kilograms of dried shrimps, and two kilograms of dried clams and scallops.

Jiang Jiang was in charge of keeping most of the things in the house. When the others saw Jiang Jiang rummaging through these things, they felt a little surprised, but they didn't find it weird.

Maybe they are the good things my mother saved before. Anyway, these things can be stored for a long time.

Somehow, the news of the second daughter of the Zhou family's birthday spread.

After Jiang Jiang went to give gifts to the Zhou family, she saw many villagers coming, either carrying a small pound of rice or half a chicken.

This scene also alarmed the somewhat bored Miss Zhou Er. She was originally sad because she did not have a birthday party this year, but when she saw the villagers of Daxi Village coming to her with gifts to wish her a happy birthday, she felt like crying for some reason.

"Butler Zhou, this is our gift. It is a blessing for Daxi Village that the Zhou family can take us along to escape the famine. We grow crops and don't have much to show for it. We can only bring some of what we have. Please don't despise it."

"That's right. It's the second young lady of the Zhou family's birthday. We don't know what to give her, so we can only give her some food."

Butler Zhou didn't know what to say with his sharp mouth. Some smart villagers from Daxi Village put the things directly at Butler Zhou's feet and ran away. No matter how they called them, they would not come back.

Two or three eggs, a few pounds of corn, two pumpkins, and a handful of peanuts. The things people gave were strange, but considering the quantity, there were quite a few.

After people had gradually dispersed, the second young lady of the Zhou family quietly showed up.

Steward Zhou pointed to the pile of food on the ground and said, "Miss, these are all birthday gifts sent to you by the villagers of Daxi Village. Madam Jiang also sent a lot of dry goods from the seaside."

Zhou Wan'er had received many gifts since she was a child, each one was more valuable than these, but somehow, when she saw these worthless things mentioned by the villagers, she had an urge to cry.

Even though she was indifferent to worldly matters, she knew that these foods were insignificant to the Zhou family, but they were the best things to these farmers.

No, she had to do something.

Zhou Wan'er lifted her skirt and ran straight towards the carriage in which Madam Zhou was riding.

After finishing the trip the next day, everyone, tired from the whole day, sat on the ground, panting, waiting to rest for a while before cooking.

At this moment, Butler Zhou found Li Shuming with a smile and stopped them from preparing to cook.

"Village Chief Li, today is the birthday of our second daughter of the Zhou family. Madam thought that happiness is better shared with others than alone, so she prepared some simple food for everyone to eat together."

Li Shuming was panicked, because they were a village with hundreds of people.

"Village Chief Li, don't rush to refuse. Everyone gave gifts yesterday, so it's our responsibility to entertain the guests. However, we don't have enough bowls and chopsticks, so everyone has to bring their own. Dinner will be served in about an hour. Village Chief Li, remember to bring everyone over."

Before leaving, Butler Zhou told Li Shuming several times to bring everyone here on time, and it didn't seem like he was just being polite.

"Just now, Butler Zhou said that today is the second young lady of the Zhou family's birthday, and everyone in Daxi Village is invited to dinner. Prepare the dishes and chopsticks, we are going to have a good meal tonight!"

Suddenly there was a burst of cheers.

"it is good!!!"

The second young lady of the Zhou family was startled by the voice at first, and then she covered her mouth and laughed.

This was her idea.
