Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

To say the difference, the most important thing is the stuttering.

In just a few days, everyone discovered that the points they earned from their work are now more useful than money in Shouling County.You can't buy much decent food with money. Now, except for the low-priced food that the government strictly orders to sell, the price of food is so high that people's legs tremble when they hear it.

But the points earned can be exchanged for food rations.

They never thought that the county government could make relief food so well. For example, the steamed buns in Chaoshi, the skin of the steamed buns turned black even after cooking. The inside is not as smooth and delicious as the fine white flour, but a little rough, but the taste is very outstanding. The rough meatballs wrapped with strong salty aroma are gently torn between the lips and teeth, almost instantly It drives all the feelings in a population, and the touching part is indescribable.

Not to mention the current time, when the common people celebrate the New Year and celebrate the festival, it is still a good year, and it is rare to eat such good things, it should be said that there are almost none.

How can ordinary people have spare money to eat out?
Everyone said that the delicious food of this dynasty was the best in the world, maybe those who enjoyed it were not all the dignitaries in the capital?Traffickers and pawns may never have a full stomach in their entire lives, and they don't know what chicken soup tastes like, but Gu Xiang uses the simplest and most crude ingredients to make food, and none of the food is perfunctory. Same taste.

This kind of delicious food entered the stomachs of the residents of Shouling County, and it made people feel that everything they did became pleasing in an instant.

It turns out that the job of repairing the city wall is not tiring at all, and the job of cleaning the streets is very fulfilling.

Literati and scholars sat on the edge of the dilapidated city wall, teaching a group of dusty old people and children, from learning to write their own names to knowing characters, and it is also a happy thing.

In just a few days, there have been many small vendors on the street. Although the government is responsible for the distribution of food control, everyone still needs to wear clothes besides eating. Winter is coming, and charcoal fires are also needed. Even clean spring water, everyone They also need to drink. People can go without food for three days, but they can’t go without water for three days. Vendors stay behind closed doors for too long. Not only will their own livelihoods be lost, but it will also affect the normal operation of the entire county.

This day, Gu Xiang and Wang Zhixian just went to see the situation of the garrison, and they didn't ride a horse when they came back to the market. When they saw the market, they recovered a little bit of anger. Gu Xiang laughed lightly, looked at the sky, and simply He called several maids around him to find a gazebo to sit down and have a rest.

Wang Zhixian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "His Royal Highness is really... very interested."

The master not only sat down, had tea and snacks prepared, but also set up a painting shelf and started painting.

Gu Xiang writes quickly, with simple lines, but it is not simple at all. The whole Shouling County is vivid on the paper. reality.

"Not only do I have to draw pictures, but after this incident, I also want to engrave a stele to record it." Gu Xiang smiled and said, "Wang magistrate, don't you always worry that you will die in the position of magistrate in this life? Everyone can see the current situation of our county. We are facing a crisis when we come out, but even if it is a crisis, it is also an opportunity."

"If Shouling County successfully overcomes this difficulty, Wangzhi County will naturally contribute the most."

Wang Zhixian: "Don't dare to do it, I don't have much credit for it. I was ready to die with the city. I really let Shouling be destroyed by the bandits. The traces that I, Wang Buzhou, will leave in the history of the future must be one. It was a joke. It was all thanks to the princess who arrived in time to turn the tide."

Gu Xiang didn't listen to what he said at all, and sketched lightly with his pen, and he outlined the picture of Wang Zhixian wearing an old official uniform and personally carrying an old man home.

Wang Zhixian's face turned red: "..."

Gu Xiang smiled: "What's there to be ashamed of? Could it be that my drawing is wrong?"

She turned her head and said to Xiao Lingyun: "I will print my painting later and make it into a tabloid and distribute it to the common people for free. The smell of this wine is also afraid that the alley is deep. Our county magistrate is not bad, and we have not been promoted until now. , I think it has something to do with him not being able to promote himself."

Xiao Lingyun solemnly agreed.

Wang Zhixian was so ashamed: "Don't, me, I carried the old man on my back, and I fell on the ground after only three steps. It was Snow Eagle who helped lift him up, so I didn't throw him on the ground. This, There's no face to brag about this."

A group of people laughed together.

Just as they were talking and laughing, they suddenly heard someone beside them lazily sighing: "If you ask me, it seems that there is nothing wrong with this bandit making such a fuss."

Gu Xiang and the others immediately turned their heads to look.

There were a few elderly people sitting opposite. They all looked about 60 years old and above. They were dressed in Gebu clothes and had dark skin. They were obviously ordinary poor people.

The old man who spoke was thin and his voice was quite high: "The rice ball I ate this morning, what is it called siu mai? Going on, a bad old man like me can eat such a good taste. I thought at the time, the bandits come as soon as they come, and they kill as much as they like. I, an old man, lived to seventy, and I can eat it before I die. These few full meals are worth dying for."

Before he finished speaking, he was holding a book in his hand when Xiao Siming, a small clerk from the county government who happened to be passing by, suddenly stopped, stepped forward, walked to the old man, and said loudly: "You said there is nothing wrong with the bandit attack? Shouling County A total of 530 people died directly or indirectly at the hands of bandits this time, with an average age of 21."

The accent was crisp and high, and in an instant, Gu Xiang, Wang Zhixian and the others all looked up.

"That's right, what this little gentleman said is right. Brother, what you said is selfish. I'm not afraid of bandits. After all, I'm an old man, but those bandits attacked the city and even mixed into the city to stir up trouble. How many offspring have we died? They were also born by their parents, if their parents heard you say that, wouldn't they die of anger?"

Several old people suddenly fell silent.

The magistrate of Wang County breathed a sigh of relief, brushed his forehead lightly, and felt cold sweat on his hands—fortunately, there are still some people who understand.

"Siming is really a good kid, he is a good young man."

Several maidservants also responded: "It's really rare to see such a good-tempered and self-cultivated petty official in the county government."

"This old man is too outrageous. He speaks without restraint in public. Hmph, it's disrespectful for old people."

Gu Xiang's expression remained unchanged, his eyes gliding over the young clerk in his early years, and he subtly raised his eyebrows: "... At least it can be seen that the common people are quite satisfied with the relief food we distributed this time. satisfy."
