"Then, why are there no porter here?" Yu Ren asked again quickly.

The old man stood up. "The famine here has been rioting for half a year. There are no merchant ships here for a long time, so there are no porters. They also want to eat. There is no business, so do you bask in the sun on the dock every day?"

Only then did Yu Ren realize that he quickly thanked the old man and followed Ruolan's sisters to the town from afar.

Ruomei pulled Ruolan into a larger tavern in the town.

"I think this place is pretty good. Let's eat here!" Ruomei pulled her sister and said.

Ruolan looked back at her and saw that Yu Ren was still walking slowly in the distance, so she let go of her sister's hand. "You go in and order food first! I'll wait for the boss here."

Ruomei looked back at Yu Ren. "He is always so slow. If you want to wait for him, just wait! Anyway, I'm going in first." After that, Ruomei entered the lobby.

Ruolan stood at the door and waved to Yu Ren and greeted him. "Boss, here."

Yu Ren nodded and walked towards her.

At this time, Ruomei in the tavern suddenly screamed. "What? It's so expensive. It turns out that you are a black store. Then, if I don't eat it, will you force it to rob it?"

When Ruolan heard that her sister seemed to be arguing with someone in the store, she hurried over.

"What's wrong?"

"Look, look. I ordered this, this one, there was no one; there was no one, there was no one. I asked them what they had. He said there was only stick noodles. I ordered a bowl of stick noodles first. But look at what stick noodles he brought! There was still fifty-money per bowl.

You might as well go and grab it!" After saying that, Ruomei threw the bowl heavily on the table.

At this time, Yu Ren had already entered the store. "What's wrong?"

Ruomei was so angry that she didn't say anything. Ruolan briefly explained what had just happened. Yu Ren walked over and looked at the bowl of stick noodles on the table. He saw a big bowl with only a dozen noodles inside, and everything outside was full of wild vegetables. A young man was standing aside with aggrieved look on his face, not daring to speak.

Seeing that the young man was only fifteen or sixteen years old, Yu Ren was so scared that he didn't even dare to raise his head when Ruomei scolded him.

Yu Ren glanced at the counter and saw that there was no shopkeeper, so he asked, "Where is your shopkeeper?"

"Zheng, the shopkeeper hasn't been here for several days because there is no business." The young man said in a low voice.

"Why are you selling such noodles here? You have to spend fifty cents a bowl?" Yu Ren was afraid of scaring the young man, so he made his voice as calmly as possible.

Seeing that Yu Ren was gentle and not as fierce as the girl who came first, the young man whispered: "The guest officer doesn't know anything. That's all, it's already good. You know, now in our town, only our family can cook such noodles.

The famine here has been going on for a year, and the court has not distributed disaster relief food. Now it is because of the autumn harvest just now. Although the harvest in the fields is still somewhat, there are still some, so there is something to eat. Otherwise, there is nothing to eat!”

Yu Ren nodded.

"Then, how did you live before?"

"Just eat tree bark! grass roots and so on. Later, many people went to Tai'an and had more food in the fields."

"Go to Tai'an? Why go to Tai'an?" Yu Ren was puzzled.

"I heard that there is someone who teaches me there to give porridge to the victims." The young man said softly.

"Then, why don't you go?"

"I, my mother won't let me go."

"Why? Why don't you let this be?"

"Because I want to get porridge there, I have to join their teachings. My mother said they want to rebel. After eating their porridge, they have to rebel with them. In the future, they will affect the whole family and even the whole clan. So my mother refused to let me go. My mother said that there were more people going there, and there were more things left in the mountains and fields. Taotao would almost support us two."

Yu Ren nodded. "When did you villagers go?"

The guy tilted his head and thought for a while. "It's been about four or five months! I remember they left shortly after the beginning of spring."

"Then, have they rebelled?" Yu Ren asked. This was his most concerned issue.

The guy shook his head.

"It turns out that there was no rebellion! It seems that your mother's judgment is still not very accurate!"

When the young man heard Yu Ren say what his mother said was wrong, he quickly argued loudly, "Who said my mother was inaccurate? My mother said that although they have not rebelled yet, that's a matter of time. So if they haven't done it now, it must be because they are not fully prepared yet.

I heard from a few people who sneaked back quietly that those who went there were no more people who came back now. They even organized a group for them, saying that they were going to work together.

My mother said these people were bad people. She told me not to eat their food even if I die."

Yu Ren was secretly surprised that last year, he met a scented scholar in Beijing and was about to rebel in Hebei. Later, he was only busy with his own affairs, and he didn't know if they had caused rebellion. Not yet a year has passed, another sect came out in Shandong to rebel.

Yu Ren sighed secretly. "It seems that the days of chaos in the world are not far away."

But he also secretly thanked that fortunately he had found a safe place to settle down. No matter how chaotic the world is, he Yu Ren could guarantee his family's safety. However, this news once again made him more alert. There was not much time left for him. Although he could not stop the fall of the Ming Dynasty, a building that had already penetrated thousands of holes, nor could he stop the general trend of chaos in the world, he had to try his best to expand his strength before the chaotic came to save himself.

Just like animals preparing to hibernate, they must prepare sufficient food before winter comes. Because these are the capital for their survival.

At this moment, Yu Ren knew very well. His most important method of "grain storage" was to try to win over the victims as many as possible here, and to make these victims willing to follow him to Taiwan to open up the territory, and establish a powerful regime that is enough to protect himself in that land that is temporarily unnoticed.

"Two more bowls of stick noodles!" Yu Ren said, taking out a piece of silver from his sleeve and handing it to the young man. "No need to look for it."

The guy hurriedly thanked him and turned around.

Soon two bowls of newly made stick noodles were delivered. The noodles in the bowl were also significantly more obvious than the previous bowl, but they were still mainly wild vegetables.

"Boss, do you really want to eat this? I think it's better to go back to our boat to eat fish!" Ruomei said.

Yu Ren shook his head, "You! Have you lived a comfortable life these days and forgotten the hardships in the past? What's wrong with wild vegetables? Can't we eat wild vegetables? We used to be unable to eat wild vegetables! This is a real pure green food."

Ruomei shrank her neck by Yu Renshen and didn't dare to speak anymore. Although she didn't understand what the green food in the boss's mouth was, she knew that the boss was angry. So the little girl quickly shrank her neck and stopped talking, and honestly followed Yu Ren to pick up the bowl of stick noodles.

At this time, two more people came in the store, a woman of twenty-five or sixteen and a girl of sixteen or seventeen. As soon as the two women entered the store, they sat down at the table next to Yu Ren.

"Woman, I'll give us two bowls of food." These two women seemed much more experienced than Yu Ren and the others. Perhaps because they often took them away, they knew that in the hotel, even if they could have food, they would have no choice at all.

The young man hurried over. "What do you guys want to eat? We only have stick noodles here."

"Then let's have two bowls of stick noodles!" The woman said, her eyes swept over the waiter's body unintentionally. Suddenly, her eyes seemed to be attracted by something and could not be removed.

"You, where did you come from?" The woman stretched out her hand and pulled down a string of moon-shaped objects on Xiao Er's neck.

The waiter was suddenly pulled down the hanging decoration around his neck by the girl, and he also shouted anxiously. "This is my thing, please give it back to me quickly!"

However, the woman had carefully looked at the small ornament in her hand and muttered to herself, "It's really good."

After saying that, the woman asked the young man sternly, "Where did you come from?"
