Nongmen Space: Farming lady is not easy to mess with

Chapter 288 Prepare More White Rice For You

After a whole morning of chaos, the county town gradually calmed down, with only a few government servants patrolling the streets.

As soon as the lunch of the twelve meals was withdrawn, there was a knock on the courtyard door, Zhu Yu yelled outside without thinking: "I don't do business today, go to another house!"

After yelling, he lay down on the table and sighed, "Several people came to smash the door in the morning. If you have money, you can't earn it. It's so painful."

"Brother Hu is here~ Oh, why are you sending so much food?"

Guo Liuniang's exclamation sounded in the yard, and Zhu Yu stood up and ran out. He rushed into the yard to see Populus euphratica pushing a cart with several sacks on it, with both surprise and joy on his face.

"Didn't I tell you not to go out, why did you send food to me?"

I just went to their workshop in the morning to vaccinate them. If it wasn't because it was too late last night, I originally wanted to go at night.

Zhu Yu saw that his head was sweating from the sun, and his collar was wet, so he took a handkerchief to wipe his sweat with distress and reproach.

"It's very hot at noon, did you run a lot of shops in the street to collect so much? I'm in the food business, how can I be short of food, why send me so much, are you stupid?"

Hu Yang bent down for her to wipe off the sweat, and explained gently with his eyebrows bent.

"Smallpox is not a trivial matter. I encountered it once when I was young. It took the whole town three months to slow down. I had no experience at that time. By the time we went to buy grain, the price of grain had already doubled. Selling regular meals, there will definitely not be a lot of rice in stock, I will prepare more white rice for you, you love rice."

It's not just a matter of tenfold. At that time, even the rich could not buy rice, and even the old rice that was not easy to sell was sold out.

They can only settle for the next best thing, as long as they buy all the food, if they can't get the staple food, they will buy taro, yam, pumpkin or various dried vegetables.

Because it can be stored for a long time, people will not starve to death.

"Put the things there first. Look at this face, which is tanned like a monkey's butt. Come and drink a bowl of herbal tea to cool off."

Zhu Yu took his hand and walked towards the main room, murmuring non-stop, "I haven't endured any hardships. It's not that I have to eat rice. If I want to send it off, it's a time when the sun is not so bright."

When I was in Hideyoshi Village, I didn’t eat enough miscellaneous grains a few times. Later, I followed the girl to flee famine, and half of the miscellaneous grains and half rice were cooked together.

Later, when life got better, I opened up to eat rice. I can’t say that I particularly like it, but I like the satisfaction when I eat rice and feel that I finally don’t have to live a hard life.

She stretched her feet and lifted the stool away to let him sit down, took a cup and poured herbal tea made with prunella vulgaris in front of him, turned around and took the wooden basin to fetch water from the well.

"Shopkeeper, Brother Hu really loves you~ You are handsome and gentle, just looking at it makes people happy~" Guo Liuniang was washing the dishes in his hands, and looked at Zhuyu who was shaking the wheel to fetch water with a smile.

"That's it~" Zhu Yu giggled, "Hu Yang treats me well~ I treat him too, I remember all his favorite dishes!"

Guo Liuniang looked at her back and shook her head and laughed. This shopkeeper is really lovable.

Zhu Yu came back from fetching water and glanced at Populus euphratica who was sitting there drinking herbal tea and smiling at her, feeling sweet in his heart.

Well, it looks as good as a monkey's butt!

He tore off the cloth towel from the shelf and threw it into the basin, wrung it dry and handed it to Populus euphratica. He didn't pick it up, but raised his head and closed his eyes.

"Why are you so lazy, you want me to wash your face." She muttered, quickly shaking out the cloth towel and folding it in half, helping her to wipe her face, her mouth was not idle.

"The girl said that smallpox in our county won't be a problem for a long time. As long as everyone is obedient and doesn't run around, and smallpox patients are found to actively report it, it will be brought under control soon. With so much rice, every meal of rice is enough to feed our entire yard for several months. "

As soon as the words fell, there was another sound of clanging gongs in the street.

The two yamen servants came out of the county yamen again after lunch and started shouting.

One beat the gong, and the other held a funnel made of iron sheets and shouted at his mouth.

"If you have smallpox at home, report it quickly. You won't be tied up outside the city. Take rations and luggage and put them all behind the county school~"

After shouting one sentence, another gong rang, and he shouted again: "You don't have to pay for smallpox medicine. There are doctors attending consultations, kitchen workers cooking, and laundry clothes~"

"If you have smallpox at home and died, don't cover it~ Hurry up and send it out, burn it and push it to bury~ It won't be burned to ashes, and all the bones are still there~ If we find it, the whole family will be tied up and sent to prison~"

"Clang clang~"

The tone of the shouting became heavier, and the gong beater also followed suit.

"Families of smallpox patients stay at home and don't go out~ Who dares to run around on the street, and all of them are dragged to the hard-hit areas to do chores, regardless of food~"

After a while of beating the gong, the yacha continued to shout: "The yacha brought people to the door for vaccination, so be honest and roll up your sleeves and get stabbed. It's like a mosquito bite. It doesn't hurt~"

The voice of shouting faded away, Zhu Yu twitched the corners of her mouth, "Everyone is even more scared when they hear that they are being stabbed, and they say it doesn't hurt, ghosts will believe it"

After drying the cloth towel, he sat next to Populus euphratica and refilled a cup of herbal tea for him, and said excitedly: "The girl said that I can help after two days when I feel refreshed, Populus euphratica, let's go together!"

The girl said that the vaccine hadn't fully taken effect, so don't help, the county government will hire people who have experienced smallpox to help the county government first.

When the first batch of people who have been vaccinated takes effect, they can immediately help the Yamen to sort out every household in the county and isolate those who are infected as soon as possible.

Hu Yang had mixed feelings in his heart, but he couldn't bear to refuse Zhu Yu's shining face.

"it is good."

As a member of the former royal family who was hunted down by the court and almost died, he was not very willing to do such a thing of revenge with virtue.

But Father Jing knew his details, but the master and apprentice didn't feel strange about him at all. They still invited him to drink tea and play chess, and never mentioned those dusty past.

The new emperor seems to be a wise emperor, and it is a blessing for the people to have a capable person like Brother Jing secretly assisting him.

only…

National hatred and family hatred...

Zhu Yu propped his chin and stared at him without blinking, "What's the matter with you? Why are you suddenly mourning? If your carpentry workshop can't be free, you'll be busy with your own business. Sister Mingxue and I still have something to do." Qingniang and the others are together."

She moved over and hugged his arm, turned her head and rubbed it with a smile, "You just moved to the county to start a workshop, you must have a lot of wooden utensils to make, so don't hang around with me~"

Hu Yang raised his hand to touch her face, sighed lightly with relief, "Well, I really have to catch up a batch of work over there so that others can know whether our woodwork is fine. You and the ladies of Yacha That’s right, they are all people worth making friends with.”

This silly girl speaks and does things the same, she has a simple and lively temperament, and she is very popular in the city, and the officials in the county government and their family members are also willing to associate with her.

With a girl as her backing, both in the village and in the county, things are going well.

Zhu Yu smiled sweetly, his eyes bent into a pair of crescent moons, "Then why don't you come over to eat with me every night? I just want to see you every day~"

"it is good."
