These years of being the queen mother!

Yang Lingyue counted the copper coins used to buy food first, then took five copper coins and went to the snack vendor to sell two hot packs.According to memory, the hot packs sold in the capital are three copper coins each, while the hot packs sold in nearby villages and towns are five copper coins each.Yang Lingyue thought, how can I buy two of these five copper coins? The peddler, who ever wanted to sell steamed stuffed buns, rolled his eyes and said contemptuously.

"Little beggar, it doesn't matter whether it's the capital or the suburbs of Beijing. Prices have risen. You want to buy two for five copper coins. Look at you, I'll sell you a bag for five copper coins."

After all, the peddler stuffed Yang Lingyue with a hot bag, snatched the five copper coins quickly, put them into his arms, and continued to shout and sell without looking at the siblings.

"Sister, this guy bullies people." Yang Mingda was extremely angrily about to find trouble with the peddler, but Yang Lingyue stretched out his hand to hold him back.

"Stop talking, let's share the hot buns and then go to the rice store to buy rice." Compared to Yang Mingda's anger, Yang Lingyue didn't have much feeling.Their two children are dressed in tatters, and they look like orphans at a glance. They don’t bully them, and the hawker is not lying. The hot pack has indeed increased. It should have been two for five copper coins, but now it sells for four. One copper plate.

While Yang Lingyue was wondering that there was no disaster and no trouble, but the prices soared, she quietly divided the hot bag into two halves, and Yang Mingda and Yang Mingda ate one half, quickly ate it, and then walked towards the grain store.When I arrived at the grain store, I asked the store clerk about the price. As Yang Lingyue thought, the price of all grains in the grain store was doubled.

Yang Lingyue wondered secretly, just as she was trying to find out what had happened that caused the prices to rise, a middle-aged man dressed in a coarse cloth gown and dressed as a scholar came into the store and yelled out of righteous indignation. "The Manchurian Tartars bullied people too much..."

Manchurian Tartars…

Upon hearing this vocabulary, Yang Lingyue's heart skipped a beat.After staying in this time and space for a while, Yang Lingyue felt that the clothes of the people here were very similar to those in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Now that she heard the term Manchurian Tartar, Yang Lingyue immediately understood that she probably wore it in the late Ming Dynasty when the current situation was turbulent. Otherwise, why would a random scholar who has read a few books of the Four Books and Five Classics be clamoring that the Manchurian Tartars are bullying people too much...

But what happened?

Just as Yang Lingyue was thinking about the history that he could remember and pondering over the matter, another scholar who went to the grain store to buy grain, who was a few years younger than before, walked in.

The younger scholar first told the clerk what kind of food he wanted to buy in a polite but reserved manner, and then when the clerk weighed the food, he greeted the middle-aged man who entered the store and seemed to be still filled with righteous indignation.

"I don't know if senior brother Qin understands the seven major hatreds promulgated by the leader of the Tartars. I just heard from my teacher, and I can't wait to abandon my pen and join the army and go north to Liaodong to lead the fight."

The seven hatreds, the leader of the Tartars!

Yang Lingyue, who was listening openly at the side, finally got the impression that if the history in her memory is correct, it should be the 46th year of Wanli.In this year, the leader of Jianzhou Jurchen □ Hachi announced the Seven Great Hatreds, raised troops against the Ming Dynasty, and established the Houjin regime.In the same year, the Jurchen soldiers conquered Fushun, which shocked the government and the public.In the 47th year of Wanli, Yang Gao, the economic strategist of Liaodong, attacked Hachi in four directions. He was defeated in the battle of Sarhu, killing more than [-] people, Kaiyuan and Tieling fell, and the capital Yanjing was shaken.Zhu Yijun used Xiong Tingbi to guard Liaodong and stationed troops to build the city, only to slightly reverse the situation in the northeast.All of this is the reason why prices have risen by half. When the news comes that the Jurchen soldiers have conquered Fushun, the prices will increase exponentially.So for now, it is best to step up time and tighten supplies to ensure a good winter this year.

Yang Lingyue's eyes flashed, and she quickly made a decision.Yang Lingyue first used all the copper coins on his body to buy storable miscellaneous grains, and then let the strong Yang Mingda carry them. The siblings quickly left the township market and walked to the top of the ruined temple where they lived.

While walking, Yang Lingyue accidentally tripped and fell into a nettle bush because of something on her mind, and was cut by the sharp thorns on the nettle leaves...

The pain of being stung by a scorpion made Yang Lingyue lie prone in the nettle grass without daring to move. It was only when Yang Mingda threw away the food in a hurry and stepped forward to help Yang Lingyue up that Yang Lingyue came back to his senses in a daze. Rise myself from the nettle grass...

This thing cuts people really hurts!

Yang Lingyue cursed a few words indignantly, but when she was about to leave, she suddenly stopped.Yang Lingyue remembered one thing. When she was still in modern high school, the class teacher in her class who loved food once said that nettles are a treasure. The leaves are edible and medicinal, and even the roots are like cotton. It can be used to weave cloth and make clothes...

Yang Lingyue thought of the current situation of lack of clothing and food, and couldn't stand anymore. First, she asked Yang Mingda to go back to the ruined temple to put away the food for sale, while she stayed where she was, and pulled out the roots, branches and leaves of the nettles growing here. , and then tied them with straw ropes twisted from weeds like a bundle of firewood, and then dragged them back to the ruined temple slowly.

At this time, Yang Mingda had already re-lighted the bonfire with a torch, and the two sisters and brothers' dinner for today had begun to be cooked in the earthen pot set up.

Because he was used to hard times, even if he bought grain, Yang Mingda, who was always picky and frugal, didn't put in extra grain when cooking dinner, but a big pot of wild vegetables mixed with a few scattered grains.

Yang Lingyue looked sad, so she put down the bunch of nettles and asked casually, "Where are the freshwater shrimp and crabs I caught yesterday!"

Yang Mingda scratched his head and scratched his messy hair to make it even more messy, but he didn't feel sloppy at all, and replied with a smirk: "It's raised in the small mud pond dug in the backyard!"

"Take it out and watch my sister clean up a pot of delicious food for you."

"Crabs are okay, but can those meaty worms be delicious?"

"Why doesn't it taste good?" Yang Lingyue poured the cooked wild vegetable miscellaneous grain soup into a big rough porcelain bowl, started another pot, poured water and started to boil.Yang Mingda obediently went to the backyard to pick up the crabs and shrimps raised in the small mud pond. Under Yang Lingyue's command, he peeled the crabs and washed them, and threw them into the boiling earthen pot.

While Yang Lingyue threw the cleaned shrimps into the pot, he took the tenderest nettle branches and leaves and threw them into the pot to get rid of the earthy smell of shrimps and crabs.After a pot of shrimps and crabs was cooked, Yang Mingda ate it, and found that it was delicious as Yang Lingyue said.

Under the persuasion of his elder sister Yang Lingyue, Yang Mingda ate half of the pot with soup, shrimps and crabs, and then ate half of the rice with wild vegetables and grains. Then he rubbed his belly and said to Yang Lingyue who also had a full meal:

"Sister, let's catch some crabs and meat worms tomorrow, okay?"

Yang Lingyue nodded, agreeing with Yang Mingda's idea but also correcting Yang Mingda's words: "That's not a meat worm, but a shrimp, a shrimp of fish, shrimp, and crab."

Yang Mingda scratched his head again and smirked: "My sister is so smart, she actually knows that thing is a shrimp."

Yang Lingyue rolled her eyes speechlessly, and said in her heart: This is not smart, but common sense.Yang Mingda, you kid, you really have no common sense to the extreme.
