The game starts with fleeing from famine, the boss of the end times is in trouble
Chapter 29 Finding Ginger
"Dad, is there any money left in our village?" Yun Yiyi asked curiously.
"Our village was originally a family. Later, it gradually expanded into a village. Therefore, the village chief of our village is also the clan leader. The village chief has always been surnamed Yun, and no one with a different surname will be chosen. Usually, any matter in the village is handled by the village chief, and it is also the village chief who deals with government affairs.
However, major events in the village are usually discussed and decided by the village chief and the three elders of the village. For example, when we fled from famine this time, the village chief and the elders discussed it and called a meeting of the villagers to discuss it. There are many villages like ours, and basically all of them are from the same clan. The advantage is that since they are all clan members, it is easier for the village chief, who is also the clan leader, to manage them. The whole village will also be more united and will not be bullied by other villages. Some villages with more surnames are not so united internally.
When choosing a village chief, no matter which surname is chosen, other surnames will not accept it. In a village like theirs, people usually take turns to be the village chief, and there is no fixed one. Usually, when there are some small matters, the villagers like to ask their own clan leader to solve them. They are afraid that the village chief will be partial to his own clan members when handling matters. Of course, this situation is also very common. "
"We used to have clan fields, which were all wasteland reclaimed by villagers every year and handed over to the village according to a certain proportion. When the clan fields were planted, everyone planted and harvested together. After deducting taxes, a portion of grain would be kept for reserve every year. The rest would be sold, and the money from the sales would be kept by the village chief for reserve. For example, every Dragon Boat Festival, the village would give out rice dumplings, Mid-Autumn Festival, the village would give out moon cakes, and Chinese New Year, the village would give out meat.
Although the amount was not much, the ritual was very good. In addition, due to the drought in the past two years, many families in the village had run out of food, and it was only by relying on the food stored in the village that everyone managed to survive for so long. This time, the village chief and the elders discussed taking out the silver stored in the village and buying more food for backup.
In this kind of year, grain is more practical. Everyone is afraid that they will not be able to buy grain even if they have money while fleeing famine. Although everyone has not read many books, they are full of life wisdom. "Yun the butcher popularized it to Yun Yiyi.
After hearing this, Yun Yiyi was deeply touched. In modern times, people are very distant from each other, rarely interact with each other, and spend most of their free time at home. It's not like Yunjia Village, where villagers usually fight and quarrel, but unite at critical moments. Therefore, the power of the clan is huge.
"Dad, the elders and the village chief really think long-term." Yun Yiyi praised.
"Haha, of course. People with dull brains cannot be village chiefs and clan elders. Moreover, the current village chiefs and clan elders were brought up by the previous village chiefs and clan elders when they were very young and taught by hand. Unlike some villages, the village chiefs are always replaced. It is because the village chiefs they elect are not like us who have been taught since childhood. They have no experience and cannot handle many things. If they don't handle things well, the villagers want to change the village chief."
"If it was just our family fleeing famine like this, I would never dare to be so ostentatious. We wouldn't dare to prepare so much food, meat, oil, and salt. If we prepare too much, we will become fat sheep in the eyes of others and be easily robbed by refugees. If we are robbed, our family will have no way to survive. Perhaps, you will say that we are strong and can beat the refugees. However, two fists are no match for four hands. We can't beat a group of refugees.
"But, you see, we are all from the same village fleeing famine. Even though we prepared a lot of things, other refugees would not dare to steal things easily. The last time, the water from Grandma Zhang's house was stolen was the best example. At that time, many young and strong men from the village went there, and they even broke the arms and legs of the refugees who stole water.
None of the refugees watching on the side came out to stop them, so that they would be afraid and would not dare to provoke us. This is killing the chicken to scare the monkey. If we had let those refugees who were stealing water go, we would definitely encounter more people who would steal our things later. Because they know that we are cowardly and dare not resist. So, this is the power of unity. "Yun the Butcher continued.
"Yes, Dad. I also felt that we should not let the refugees who stole water off easily. At that time, the refugees around us looked at us like wolves seeing meat, with their eyes shining. Only terrible means can deter the evildoers."
"Yes, Yiyi, you can be kind but not cowardly. When you encounter danger, you must resist, then those bad guys will be afraid. However, you are a child, you hide behind the adults and we will protect you. You can't rush forward. Last time, you hit the snake and scared your mother and me. If it was a poisonous snake and it really bit you, what should we do?" Yun the Butcher took this opportunity to nag again.
"Oh, Dad. That thing has passed, why are you bringing it up again? My mother doesn't nag me anymore. I'll be angry if you mention it again." Yun Yiyi said angrily.
"Okay, okay, as long as you listen to me, I won't say anything anymore." Yun the Butcher laughed.
"Dad, what are we going to buy now?"
"Let's go forward. We also need to buy some ginger, eggs, and seasonings for cooking. As for the rest, we'll buy them if we come across something suitable." Yun the butcher said after thinking for a while.
"Dad, you look at the shop over there, I'll look at the shop over here, and I'll tell you when I see the grocery store." Yun Yiyi observed the shops on the roadside as they walked.
Butcher Yun and his companions walked forward for about 400 meters and found a grocery store on the right side of the road. There were many baskets and mats placed in front of the store, and there were several customers inside the store buying things. The seasoning and salt that Zhang wanted should be sold in this grocery store. Butcher Yun tied the donkey cart to the wooden stake in front of the store. Then, a young man came out of the store to help watch the donkey cart. Butcher Yun and Yun Yiyi walked into the store.
As soon as Yun Yiyi entered the store, she found a basket of ginger near the door. The ginger was quite big and had some dry mud on it. The ginger looked very fresh, so it must have been dug not long ago. It was not easy to see such fresh ginger in this day and age. Then, Yun Yiyi looked into the store. To the east of the store was a row of shelves, on which were placed cloth bags. The bags were all open, and you could see star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon and other spices in the bags.
There are also some bags filled with some food, including soybeans, mung beans, millet, corn and other food. In the open space in the middle, there are large vats, and you can smell the aroma of oil, the aroma of sauce, and the aroma of sesame oil mixed together. To the west of the store are baskets, in which are placed eggs, goose eggs, red dates, walnuts, peanuts in shells and other things.
