Chapter 195 She porridge

  There are a lot of people coming to the Li family, and they will bring the brothers and sisters of the Li family to work together every day.

  The younger brothers and sisters came every day and learned a lot about farming and identifying herbs and wild vegetables with Mr. Xie.

The next day, Li Yu asked people to boil bone soup, including pork bone, beef bone, lamb stick bone, and everything else. The bone soup was filled with medicinal materials, and each person had a bowl when they ate. Not afraid of the cold.

  Every meal has meat dishes, steamed bun porridge, and miscellaneous grains and rice to keep you full.

  Copper coins will be returned every day, and the settlement will be made every five days, and the money will be paid on the spot.

   Things were done beautifully. Guanshi Liu was full of praise for the Li family. Princess Ye was very happy when she found out that she was right. The Gu and Li families were really considerate and proper in handling their affairs, which made Her Highness look good.

  The Wang family and the Xie family are also working. Some help to build houses and cut wood, others dig rivers, and find tenant farmers to open up wasteland. Families of all sizes are busy.

  Li Yu sent some pickled vegetables and dried meat to the barracks, and met General Zhao and General Lu.

   "Girl, why don't you come over today when you are free, and bring me something delicious."

   "Dried meat and pickled vegetables are all grown on our own farm, and there are some fresh vegetables, you two can change."

  General Lu pulled the basket, "Hey, this vegetable is juicy, grown in your greenhouse?"

   "Yes, I dug the potatoes two days ago. You see, they are a little smaller. You can eat them boiled or steamed. You need to be careful when storing them."

   "How to preserve it, this food is delicious."

  General Lu has already eaten potatoes, and he is full of praise.

"Find a box, put dry sand on it, and bury the potatoes in the sand. Spread them out and don't pile them up too much. Keep them in a cool and dry place. They can be stored for two or three months. As long as they don't get damp, they're fine. If they germinate, they can't be eaten. It's easy. Poisoned."

"I got it."

   "This is a recipe for a few potatoes, just ask the cook to take a look."

   "It doesn't take so many tricks. It's good for the soldiers to eat well. Thanks to the meat you sent, the soldiers can eat well."

   "Speaking of which, you trained them on Zhuangzi, and the treatment they gave was too good. The conditions are not so good when you come to me. It's so different, but it makes those who didn't go envious."

   "If you don't have enough meat, I'll bring you some pork carts in a few days."

   "No, I didn't finish what I delivered last time. It's freezing cold, so I can keep it."

   "Girl, do you bring me wine?"

  General Zhao approached him and asked in a low voice.

   "Bring it, your good wine is indispensable."

  Li Yu brought several jars of homemade wine from the car.

   "The eldest niece still loves me, how about you digging the river channel?"

   "It went well, and it will be frozen in another month. The rest can only be dug in spring, and a lot has been done."

   "That's fine."

   "Uncle, I'm back. If you need anything, just go to Zhuangzi personally and tell me. I'll do it for you quickly."

   "Okay, let's go."

   Li Yu said goodbye and returned.

  General Lu looked at the back of the child leaving, "The Gu family took advantage of marrying this girl. This child has great talent. It's a pity that she is a daughter who can't use her body. Otherwise, the Li family can produce another outstanding person."

   "The boss loves his daughter like an eyeball, and he doesn't want her daughter to suffer. That's fine. I'm such a good girl, and I don't want to see my child suffer and be run over."

   "It's a thing that can't fart in your throat. It's because you don't have the ability to run against the girl's house. Check who spread the rumors?"

  General Lu narrowed his eyes, with a dangerous and ruthless air.

   "It was the second wife of the Wei family who did it. He was the one who bullied the little girl of the Wang family in the early years. In the end, it was Boss Wang who slapped her. This time Yu'er rumored that he was the one behind the scenes."

   "Why?"

"Isn't it because of the establishment? The Li family protects the weak and protects the Wang family girl from taking him to play. He can't speak in the Wei family. He hates the Li family. He doesn't dare to say hello to the boss and nephew, so he bullies the girl. What the hell? .”

   General Zhao shook his head with contempt.

   Some time ago, there were rumors about Li Yu, which is also the reason why Boss Li dismissed her coach. The Night King is protecting Li Yu's reputation.

  Concubine Ye has repeatedly praised the Li family girl for her excellent character in public several times. No other family dared to make trouble, but the second child of the Wei family dared to tease the tiger's beard, thinking that no one would be able to find out if she was behind the scenes.

  He didn't know that General Lu, General Zhao and Boss Li were friends by fate. When they were teenagers, Boss Li helped them with their careers and skills, and they had a deep bond.

   It is not easy for generals to show their friendship on the bright side. The first emperor was afraid, so he did not reveal it in the court.

   "Find a chance to do Wei's second child to me."

  General Lu snorted coldly, bullying my eldest niece, just wait and see.

   "I'll do it, this stinky mouth should be cleaned up."

   General Zhao sneered.

  The river channel was dug for a month, and Li Yu followed suit for a month. Everyone had packed up and returned to Maodong, and the ground was frozen, so there was nothing to do.

   Manager Liu asked someone to repair the city wall and paid for it, and many refugees went there to work.

  Li Yu went home, packed up the cotton clothes and shoes, and sent them to the refugees and the military camp. The refugee village was very grateful.

  The rest of the work will not be done until the spring of the next year.

  Li Yu invited several girls from the Wang family, the Xie family, the Yang family and the Qi family, and the classmates who had a good time to share porridge at the gate of the city.

  They chose a few points to set up a posture, mainly for refugees.

  Night King is still accepting refugees, but not as many as last year. Last year, with rain and snow, the people had a bumper harvest. Although the taxes were still high, they could survive by tightening their belts.

  After several years of disasters, various places finally ushered in a bumper harvest, and the situation has eased compared to previous years.

  The last time he killed Geng Li and took back the annual confession, it was a big blow. The new emperor had someone check him out, but he didn't find out one, two, or three things, so he just planted them on the bandits in a muddle-headed way.

  The batch of yearly offerings had been sent back to the Night King long ago. Only then did the Night King have the money to repair the city walls, open rivers and embankments, otherwise he would have no money.

  Li Yu led his younger brothers and sisters to learn how to make porridge, and talked about the tricks, and the knowledge on the spot, whoever is a refugee, so that the younger brothers and sisters can learn how to keep their eyebrows high and their eyes low, so as not to be deceived.

   "Sister, why did you put stones in the porridge?"

  Brother is too young to understand.

"Hungry people don't care if there are stones or not. They don't even mind if there is no salt in the rice. Hungry people don't care about picking and choosing. This can prevent some people who are greedy for cheap from coming to grab food for refugees, and give the food to more people who really need it. Victims of the stomach."

   "So it is."

  The brothers and sisters suddenly nodded, Master Xie stroked his beard and looked at Li Yu with admiring eyes.

  The stones are not poisonous, you can just spit them out after eating them, and the refugees don’t dislike them at all, only those small citizens who are full of stomachs will pick them.

  This can filter them out, and drive people away. If you have food in your family, you shouldn’t compete with hungry refugees for food. There will never be a shortage of people who take advantage of it.

  This human knowledge is also reflected in a bowl of porridge.

  In addition to porridge, there are also soft boiled noodles for the refugees to eat. There is no salt, and the refugees still eat cleanly with gratitude. This is the way.
