C303 Anorexia (1/2)

Jiang Xiaobai was startled, he was a little angry in his heart, isn't this what you call eating and scolding cooks?

The two of them were carrying a large bowl of porridge and a plate of vegetables. Four or five large steamed buns were stuck into their chopsticks. It was obvious that they were familiar with the route and this was not the first time they had come for food.

Although the two of them were dressed up in short clothes, their clothes were washed very cleanly. Their faces were white and clean, and there were no calluses on their fingers that a farmer would normally see. They were definitely not doing farm work.

Logically speaking, such a person should not be classified as a poverty-stricken individual. Since he could solve his problem of warming up to his hunger, how could he just eat and drink to his heart's content?

Not only that, the two of them did not find a place to eat. Instead, they carried the food straight to the city gate.

They want to enter the city?

Jiang Xiaobai's heart skipped a beat and immediately followed.

The current city gate was much different from the first time Jiang Xiaobai came. There were a lot of soldiers on the city wall, and all of them were brimming with energy and well-equipped.

There were no more bailiffs to pay the city fees. Instead, there were more notices to appease the citizens, introductions of the rules of the city, conscription, recruitment, and so on. It was truly a wall of information.

Therefore, there were a few scholarly looking people who would periodically read the words on the notice to the surrounding crowd.

The scene was very harmonious. Although the citizens were hesitating, there was no longer any sadness or fear.

However, what was going on with those three bloody heads on top of the city gate?

I heard that the Widow Chen killed a few people who took advantage of the situation.

Since no one was looking for fees, entering the city was naturally smooth sailing. Jiang Xiaobai then casually walked into the city.

The Widow Chen was too confident, did she really think that she could rest easy by giving food to the common people?

If some enemy forces disguised themselves as hungry people and suddenly attacked the city gate, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even if they didn't have a group of enemies, it would still be troublesome if they had a few bad intentions, such as the first two.

The two men talked as they walked. They thought they were too low to be heard, but what they didn't know was that a particularly sensitive person was following them.

The situation in the city had also changed greatly. There were more pedestrians on the streets, more shops, and more smiling people on the streets.

After walking forward for a hundred meters, Jiang Xiaobai realized that the east side of the main road had become a construction site. Hundreds of workers were sweating profusely, as if they were about to raze a block to the ground.

The house was demolished, the wood and furniture piled like a mountain. The old carpenter Zhuang Chusi paced back and forth inside, holding a piece of chalk in his hand.

Anyone that had been marked by him would immediately be moved away.

It seemed that the Widow Chen had already implemented her wealth replacement plan, using the precious wood, antique furniture, and porcelain to exchange for food, clothes, and daily necessities from another time and space.

The reason the Yi Zhou City was able to distribute food to the hungry on a large scale was definitely because of this.

The house was naturally demolished by the rising dust. The two of them hurriedly used their sleeves to cover up the food before turning around and entering a large courtyard by the side of the street.

Jiang Xiaobai saw that outside the gate of the courtyard was a flag, and on it were three big children who lived in peace.
