Chapter 124 Food was taken away
There are also two large basins filled with cold water next to it, which are used for rinsing the water.
After a while, the steaming noodles were cooked.
She put the noodles into bowls, poured the fragrant sauce on them, sprinkled some chopped green onions on them, and then bowls of delicious noodles were placed in front of everyone.
Everyone picked up their bowls and chopsticks and started eating voraciously.
“These noodles are so delicious!”
"Aunt Zhang's cooking skills are amazing!" Voices of praise rang out one after another.
After finishing the noodles, everyone patted their stomachs contentedly.
The village head looked at the lively scene in front of him with a smile on his face.
Although life is simple, it is full of human touch.
This kind of human touch is the most soothing to the hearts of ordinary people.

Yu Yaozu was in a very good mood after he successfully sold the grain.
This batch of food temporarily solved the problem of food shortage.
After eating hand-rolled noodles yesterday, he still felt a little unsatisfied, so today he took Yu Baibai to the city to look for business opportunities.
On the way back, he decided to buy some fatty meat on the way back, boil some lard, and then use the lard residue to make some big buns as a snack for everyone.
When he returned to the village, Yu Yaozu saw everyone gathered in the yard.
He was delighted. Could it be that everyone knew he bought meat and came over to wait for dinner?
I walked into the yard holding Yu Baibai's hand, but found that everyone's faces were very heavy.
He squatted on the ground with his head down, looking frustrated.
Yu Yaozu hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
The village head stood up, sighed, and said:
"Yaozu, the government just came and said we were hiding grain, so they took all the grain away."
What the hell is going on?! Things were just starting to get better and...
Ugh!
Damn it! We bought all this with our own money, so why are you accusing us of hoarding food?
Yu Yaozu was stunned. He didn't expect this to happen.
This was something he and his daughter had worked so hard to get!
He roared angrily, "This is the food we got ourselves. Why are you taking it away?"
Is it possible that you are not being reasonable?
How could this happen even with the prince in charge?
The village head shook his head and said, "Officials are two-faced. We can't defeat them..."
Yu Yaozu looked unwilling. Was he just going to watch the government officials take the grain away without saying anything?
He clenched his fists, his heart filled with anger and helplessness.
Is this the relationship between officials and the people?
This damn feudal society!
"This food is our lifeblood! How can it be taken away like this?"
He turned to the villagers and said:
"We can't just let it go like this, we have to think of a way!"
The villagers echoed, with determination in their eyes.
The village head pondered for a moment and exhaled:
"This is easier said than done. Once they make a move, we'll be left with nothing to say. Let's first think about what to do next."
Yu Yaozu gritted his teeth in anger, mainly because he had no way to prove the source of the food. Was he really going to have to grit his teeth and endure this?
Yu Baibai tugged at Yu Yaozu's sleeve and said, "Dad, let's go find the village chief and the others for help! Mr. Zhuge will definitely give us justice!"
Yes! They also know Mr. Zhuge! Mr. Zhuge is a good man and will definitely be able to help them!
Yu Yaozu was instantly excited and said:
"Yes, yes, yes! Mr. Zhuge! Go find Mr. Zhuge for help! I'll go right away! Xiao Fei, harness the cart and we'll go!"
Yu Fei did not dare to delay at all and trotted to harness the car:
"Hey! Sixth brother, I'll go right away!"
Yu Yaozu hurried to the village chief's house and told him everything that had happened.
After hearing this, the village chief frowned, as he knew how difficult the matter was.
If you are not careful, many people will die.
"I can take you to see Zhuge, but I don't know if he's here or not."
Yu Yaozu was overjoyed: "Do your best and leave the rest to fate!"
-
The village chief brought Yu Yaozu to Mr. Zhuge's residence in a hurry, but unfortunately Mr. Zhuge was not at home.
Yu Yaozu could only return home disappointed, but he did not give up:
"Xiao Fei, you stay here and wait. When Mr. Zhuge comes back, go visit him immediately and tell him everything we encountered."
Yu Fei nodded: "Don't worry, Sixth Brother, I'll just squat here and won't make any mistakes!"
"I'll go and ask around and see what's going on."
They clearly didn't enter the city, so how did those people know they were transporting food?
Could it be someone from the village?
No, no, no! They hadn't opened the carriages during the journey, and he trusted their character.
Is there any enemy they don’t know about?
They didn't offend anyone! They were just being honest and doing their job.
Yu Yaozu sat at the tea stall, casually looking around.
Drinking tea and thinking.
Keep your eyes open and your ears alert; there are all kinds of people in this tea stall.
Suddenly, he heard two people at the next table talking about something, and the sound faintly reached his ears.
"Have you heard? I heard that the group outside the customs are eager to try again."
"Really? Our prince has to go there to guard again. Alas, our prince has suffered so much!"
Yu Yaozu's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that something bad was going to happen.
He continued to listen to the conversation at the next table without changing his expression.
"That's right! I wonder what those barbarians are going to do this time!" another person said indignantly.
"I hope the prince can return safely..."
Is it that the army is running out of food?
wrong!
Even if there is a shortage of food, it is impossible to catch this group of refugees who have just escaped and rob them.
And I haven’t heard that the prince is short of food!
Yu Yaozu's face turned serious as he realized that things might be more serious than he had imagined.
He decided to go back quickly to tell everyone the news and prepare for the response.
He hurriedly paid for the tea and rushed back to the village.
Along the way, he had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
When he returned home, everyone was anxiously waiting for news from him.
He told everyone the conversation he had heard at the tea stall, and everyone was shocked.
"We must strengthen the village's defense!" Yu Yaozu said decisively:
"At the same time, we must find Mr. Zhuge as soon as possible and seek his help."
"I brought some food back. After all, we can't go into battle hungry."
The village head sighed: "Ah! I'm too old to listen to you."
So the villagers took action and made intensive preparations for defense.
Yu Fei continued to wait at Mr. Zhuge's door, waiting for his return.
The young man from Xiaowangzhuang staggered cautiously towards Wujia Village.
At the entrance of Wujia Village, I asked someone for directions:
"Uncle, is there an old man named Qiao Qingfeng in your village? He has a very cute little girl with him!"
The person he was asking about happened to be the lame man who was weaving a straw mat. He looked him up and down and said warily:
"What do you want them for?"
