Survive through the ancient apocalypse

"Anyway, under the current situation, the hundreds of servants of the Ye family, although they are a little cautious, at least they are very united now, and betrayal of the master should not happen. Let's deal with it carefully, and it is unlikely to happen. Troubles happen. The most troublesome thing is the lack of food. Once everyone is hungry, how many people will care whether you are a master or a servant?" Ye Mingze knew that all kinds of uprisings originated from excessive exploitation or years of famines that caused farmers to eat food. Not full, caused by displacement.When it really comes to that kind of time, there are many people who are not recognized by their relatives.

Ye Mingze didn't need to say these things, Jiang Jingzhi was also deeply touched.The replacement of dynasties is basically inseparable from these reasons.All in all, just one point, the people at the bottom have food to eat, clothes to wear, and houses to live in. The possibility of instigating against such a court is basically zero.On the contrary, there is a high probability that the imperial court will be overthrown. Even if it does not succeed at that time, it will not last for long.

"Well, what you said makes sense. As long as the food can keep up, you don't need to worry about people's little thoughts. If we don't deal with those people, they will be strangled in the cradle by others." Jiang Jingzhi was raped since he was a child. Master Jiang Hou trained in the civil service, and it is easy to detect this kind of trick.

"I'll take care of the food issue, so you can use your strengths and manage the entire Ye family well!" Ye Mingze's breakfast was also dumplings, and he ate them up quickly.He asked Zhang Sen to come in to clean up the aftermath, while he went out to check the situation outside.

The people who work shifts have been arranged in advance, and I know when they will work.When Ye Mingze went out, more than half of the snow in the yard had been cleared, and now it was the turn of the second-to-last weakest member of the Ye family—a first- and second-level guide.At noon and around two o'clock in the afternoon, the temperature is the highest in the day, and it is the turn of ordinary young adults at this time.Only the temperature at this time has the least influence on them.

Pushing open the gate of the yard, Ye Mingze saw that there were people cleaning the paths between the yards.The snow on both sides of the road is as high as a person.Ye Mingze stood on the killer whale and tried it with a stick. The snow was very thick, only the upper part had a larger gap, which could be inserted easily, and the deeper it went, the stronger it became.

Such thick snow should not be prone to avalanches and the like.Ye Mingze didn't care about it for the time being. He went around the yards and found that the people and the house were fine. Except for some people who suffered from frostbite, everything was fine.

Since the Ye family was fine, Ye Mingze wanted to go out to have a look, but the door was frozen by ice and snow and could not be opened at all.With so many people in the Ye family, they don't have the energy to take care of things outside of the Ye family, let alone the other families in the Ye family village.The four relatives of the Ye family in Yejia Village are not short of food and firewood. Since no one came to the door, there must be no major problems.Thinking of this, Ye Mingze didn't stay outside much, and wandered back to the Ye family's main house.

In such bad weather, there should be many people who died of frostbite in the north.Ye Mingze could only think about it, if he couldn't take care of his own family, how could he take care of others.Ye Mingze didn't open an umbrella because he didn't go out for a long time this time.When he got home, there was a thin layer of snow on his hat and coat.Ye Mingze brushed off the snowflakes from his body, took off his robe, hat and gloves, and laid them flat on the end of the kang bed to dry for a while.

"Are the other yards all right?" Jiang Jingzhi had a faint smile on his face. Although the road ahead was confused, at least the most important family and relatives were by his side, but he didn't know how Lin Wenjue was doing.

"Well, everything is fine. Some people suffered from frostbite, and the problem is not serious. There are also a few people who have a low-grade fever. The doctor at home prescribed medicine, and they are all fine." Can you rest assured to work in the ice and snow?

"The snow is so thick, can we still walk outside?" Jiang Jingzhi asked as he remembered his parents.

"It's snowing heavily and the roads are closed. No one clears the roads, so there's no way to go out. I wanted to go out and check, but the gate was not even opened." Ye Mingze thought for a while, and immediately understood what Jiang Jingzhi was worried about, "I'll go to the hospital this afternoon. Look on the wall, Jiang's house has been renovated before, so there will be no problem."

"Well. You come up for a rest, it will be fine, and the kang is warm." Jiang Jingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and the corners of his lips curled up charmingly, feeling that he was smiling.

"Alright, let's deal with the bills together. After lunch, I still have to listen to Uncle Zhang's report on the conditions of the various yards. I'll be busy again then." Ye Mingze didn't refuse, packed himself up and got on the kang.The quilts are all cotton quilts, not as light, soft and comfortable as down quilts, but they are not badly configured in the Daxing Dynasty.Poor families here may not even be able to afford quilts. Most villagers only get new quilts when they get married. It is common for a quilt to last for more than ten years.

After that, the two stopped talking and concentrated on the work in front of them.There are more than 500 people in the Ye family, not too many people, but not too many.Some small and trivial matters are handled by the small stewards below. Most of the people who report to Ye Mingze are the material consumption of each yard every ten days, personnel deployment and things that need to be decided by him.

The Ye Family's candles don't have many reserves. Since the circulation is not smooth, the candles are used one less.Under normal circumstances, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi seldom use candles.An oil lamp was lit on the kang table, the light was a bit dim, and could only illuminate a small circle around it.Fortunately, the two of them were not far from the oil lamp, so it was not difficult to read the handwriting.

The two of them had no distractions and focused on the matter in front of them.Time passed quickly, and it was noon in the blink of an eye.The two brothers Zhang Sen* came over and invited them to the main room for dinner.

Seeing that there was not much work left in his hands, Ye Mingze signaled to Zhang Sen that they would eat in a while, and let others use it first, without waiting for them.These two days were a special case, as it was snowing, everyone had a lot of things to deal with, so they gathered in the main room for meals.Maodong usually eats in his own room.Knowing Ye Mingze's attitude, the members of the Jiang family didn't wait for them, leaving enough food for the two of them, and began to enjoy lunch.

There are indeed not many remaining tasks. Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi are very efficient and they finished them in a short time.The two took care of themselves, and as soon as they opened the door, the cold wind poured straight on their bodies.Ye Mingze was fine, but Jiang Jingzhi couldn't help shivering.The wind is not strong, but it is bitingly cold.This is the discomfort caused by the large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor. Jiang Jingzhi got used to the low temperature outside before he finished walking the aisle.

When the two arrived at the main room, the Ye family hadn't eaten half of their lunch yet.Although Li Xue and Li Zhen made a fuss when eating, they knew from a young age that food should not be wasted, so they obediently ate the rice and vegetables in their small bowls.

Ye's family doesn't grow much rice, and this year's harvest is poor, so the amount they receive is naturally even less.The Ye family is from the north, and most of their food is pasta. They are not too keen on rice. Before the disaster, they basically sold it for money.Now there is Jiang Jingzhi, a family who likes to eat rice, plus his in-laws, Jiang's family. Naturally, the white rice is not disposed of for the businessman, and all of them are kept for his own family to eat, and a small part is given to the Jiang family.

Once or twice, the Jiang family can be regarded as relatives. If there are too many times, the Jiang family will naturally not take advantage of it for nothing, and will return the gift every time.Although the gift in return is not as good as what the Ye family gave, it's a good intention, isn't it?

It's a pity that the food reserves at home are not very sufficient and cannot be used to make wine.Otherwise, for a change of taste, make a few dishes of drunken shrimp and drunken crab, which will definitely taste special.Ye Mingze could only sketch it in his mind, and never thought about taking action now.On a cold day, the heat of the food dissipated quickly once it was out of the pan, and the lunch for the two was warmed on the stove against the wall.As soon as the two brothers Zhang Sen* saw their masters, they arranged the food properly and waited for them to serve their chopsticks.

There are very few types of fresh vegetables in winter in the north. Apart from cabbage and radishes, they are potatoes, and taro is only grown in the past few years because Ye Mingze likes to eat it.Who would have thought that dumpling wrappers made of taro are loved by most people, and it is estimated that many will be planted every year in the future.The Ye family grows a lot of vegetables, and they have dried a lot of dried vegetables before winter, and pickles and sauerkraut are indispensable reserves for every household.

There are many Ye family members, so they make tofu every one or two days.All in all, the dishes of the Ye family are very good.The Ye Family has the best average living standard in the entire Ye Family Village.Whoever makes the Ye family generous will not treat their servants badly at all.The servants of the Ye family didn't have much contact with other people in the Ye family village, and Uncle Zhang also told him to try not to make any noise.It's just that it's impossible to completely isolate information, and the people of Yejia Village know more or less.

The villagers of the Ye family must be jealous and envious, but it is a pity that the Ye family has a large population and no one can shake it.The villagers can only talk fast for a while, and cannot cause substantial damage to the Ye family.Considering the issue of public opinion orientation, Jiang Jingzhi sent people to go around the village from time to time to deal with some familiar villagers. As long as he didn't sell out the Ye family, and didn't betray the entire Ye family village, the Ye family didn't care about a few words of quarrel, and they were there with them. Chatting.

Lunch is very simple, the staple food is white rice, plus a dish of fish, a bowl of stewed pork vermicelli and a plate of fried tofu.Ye Mingze likes to eat shrimp and crab, but he thinks eating them is too troublesome and easy to get all over his hands, so he doesn't usually eat much.These three dishes are just to his liking, not heavy and easy to eat.

Jiang Jingzhi's original taste was relatively light, but after arriving at Ye's house, he quickly integrated into it. Now, no matter whether it is light or strong, as long as it tastes good, he can eat it.Jiang Jingzhi picked up a chopstick of fish meat, and just put it to his mouth, a fishy smell hit his nostrils.He hurriedly moved the fish far away, took a deep breath, and tried it again, only to find that the smell was still the same.Jiang Jingzhi knew that he didn't want to eat fish today, so he put the fish into Ye Mingze's bowl with a glance, the corners of his mouth curled up, with a faint smile.

Ye Mingze ignored Jiang Jingzhi's small movements, got up and scooped a small bowl of pork rib soup from the table, and placed it in front of Jiang Jingzhi.The rest of the Ye family looked at it and didn't say anything. Anyway, the Ye family's dining table has never been very particular, and the food is just casual. There are too many rules, and eating is boring.

When the two of them had almost eaten, the rest of the Ye family had already finished eating, leaving only Li Xue and Li Zhen, the two little ones, still fighting over lunch.Li Xue was older, their portion of pork had already been eaten, he opened his big eyes and occasionally glanced at Ye Mingze's plate of stewed pork vermicelli, and then continued to eat casually.Li Zhen, who was a few years younger, was not so reserved, his black eyes were fixed on the pork, and he only let go of the sea bowl when eating.

Although the two little bean dings were greedy, they never asked for it.Ye Mingze knew that although his family doted on these two little ones, they taught them the proper manners and manners responsibly.Now it seems that the two children have been educated very well.

"Okay, Mingze, stop teasing them! Come, two pieces of pork per person." Jiang Jingzhi picked up an empty bowl, and picked out four pieces of moderately fat and lean stewed pork with serving chopsticks.

"Thank you, Uncle Jingzhi!" Like a little adult, Li Xue picked out two pieces that he thought were the best and put them in his younger brother's bowl, and then silently picked up his own meal.

"Eldest uncle is bad, but respectfully, uncle is good!" Li Zhen could not speak clearly, but his meaning was very clear.

"Brother, just tease them, now even the little Li Zhen knows that you are broken." Ye Mingxi laughed heartlessly, and his shoulders trembled.

"Okay, okay, don't laugh at your big brother. Big girl, you feed them quickly, the two little ones have been eating for so long, it's enough, if you eat it so slowly, the food will not be hot." Finally Jiang's family came forward to stop them from continuing to make trouble.

Ye's food is full of food, and there is still leftovers after everyone finishes eating.Although it is not good to eat leftovers, but now that food is in short supply, it is a life-saving thing, and no one will waste it.All the meals are classified into several bowls, and nothing is wasted.
