Xu Yahan touched her empty stomach and felt a little hungry. "I'm hungry. Do you have anything to eat?"

Aunt Lan's mouth twitched and she said, "There is porridge." She herself couldn't bear to eat white rice. At most, she would drink some white porridge. Rice is extremely expensive nowadays.

There was not much rice left in her Yihong Courtyard, so she had to save some food. Alas! She didn't know when the days of having no food would end.

"Okay, plain porridge, but give me some meat!" Xu Yahan is a carnivore and she wants meat for all three meals.

Aunt Lan gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give you meat." Meat is also very expensive! The scarcity of rice has caused meat to be extremely expensive. Not only meat, but all food has increased in price, and the increase is not one or two times, but ten or twenty times.

The capital city was the most prosperous place in the entire Wuqi Kingdom, and people did not starve to death there, but in other places, starvation was common.

Soon, white porridge and meat were served.

Xu Yahan eats very elegantly, and does not speak while eating or sleeping.

The others just stood and watched her eat.

Xu Yahan didn't feel any pressure at all. When she was at home, she ate like this even with the servants standing by her.

"Another bowl of porridge, this porridge is too watery, it won't fill me up at all."

"Girl, there is no porridge left." Chuntao reminded carefully.

"No more? Don't you need to eat even when you're hungry?" What kind of person is this? He won't even let her eat enough.

How can she train if she is not full?

"Miss Xu, we eat two meals a day, and..." Hongdou stammered, not knowing whether to say it or not.

This Miss Xu doesn't look like she is from Wuqi Country.

Perhaps they don’t know that Wuqi Country is now in a state of food shortage.

"Just say what you want to say. Don't leave your words half-sentenced and hesitate." Xu Yahan is a straightforward person and doesn't like to keep people in suspense.

Aunt Lan nodded at Hongdou and motioned for her to continue.

She had money, but it was not enough to feed the entire Yihong Courtyard.

The main thing is that you can’t buy rice even if you have money!

This is what gives her the most headache.

"Yes, Miss Xu, you don't know that Wuqi Country is currently in a state of food shortage. It is already very good for us to have two meals of rice porridge. Many people can't even have a meal of rice porridge for several days."

"You in Wuqi country can't even afford porridge, are you so poor?? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child who's so easy to fool?" Aunt Lan is wearing gold and silver, she doesn't look like someone who is short of money! ? ? How could she not have money to buy rice!!! This is unreasonable.

"Girl, the rice fields in Wuqi Country have all been eaten by locusts. The people have no rice to pay taxes, and no rice to cook. We are eating last year's rice. The price of rice has risen to 100 taels of silver per bushel. The poor families don't even have the money to buy rice..."

"One hundred taels of silver for a bushel of rice? Isn't that obvious robbery? Even robbing a bank is not that serious." Xu Yahan knew that in ancient times one tael of silver was half a month or even a month's salary for a worker.

One hundred taels of silver for a bushel of rice, what else is that but robbery? How can a poor family afford it? Is this profiting from the national disaster? Shameful and hateful.

Aunt Lan and the others didn't know what a bank was, but Xu Yahan was right, one hundred taels of silver for a bushel of rice was indeed robbery.

"That's right, young lady." Nowadays, the richest people are rice merchants.

"Why not kill the bugs? Just kill them." Xu Yahan said lightly.

"Kill bugs?" Aunt Lan only knows how to catch bugs, not how to kill them.

I heard there are so many locusts that you can’t catch them all.

"You don't know how to kill insects? That's right, you don't have any insect repellent here."

"What is insecticide?" Aunt Lan and others felt that their brains were not enough.

What Xu Yahan said was too profound and abstruse.

"It's a medicine that can kill insects."

"You are such a smart girl, why didn't we think of that?" Aunt Lan's head turned. If their Yihong Courtyard could solve the crisis of the entire Wuqi Country, then wouldn't their Yihong Courtyard become the savior of Wuqi Country? At that time, people who came here to see it would talk endlessly.

But where does this insect repellent come from?

Aunt Lan's eyes lit up. Maybe Miss Xu knew?

"Miss Xu, do you know the recipe for insecticide?"

"How should I know? I'm not a pharmacist." She is the daughter of the richest man, how could she make medicine? If she even knew how to make medicine, it would be incredible.

If Rumei were here, there would definitely be a way.

Liu Rumei is a leader in both Chinese and Western medicine.

Not only can he diagnose and perform surgery, he is also proficient in making medicine.

I just don’t know if she is also in Wuqi Country.

Aunt Lan: “…” Speechless.

"The makeup is done, you guys take a break first, I'll rehearse with you guys later!"

"Yes, Miss Xu." None of the girls in Yihongyuan refuted.

Miss Xu's makeup skills have reached a level that they can't even dream of.

They would not be so blind as to offend Miss Xu.
