Qing Palace: Biography of Concubine Shu

Chapter 267 Walking into the Victims
On the night of disaster relief, Shu Yun led Su Yan and Su Zhu to get busy together, and many women in the village were also busy together. She felt the simplicity of them, which was different from the female relatives who would fight to the death in the courtyard. , what they pay attention to is gossip.

"Fourth madam, do you want to do all of this?" The women in the village saw a lot of mutton on the ground, Shu Yun asked them to wash it, then cut it into large pieces and threw it into the pot directly, they felt that Shu Yun Some will not live.

If these mutton were replaced by them, they would definitely have to make them again during the Chinese New Year.

Now, if you don't think about it, you put so much meat, it's really not in charge, you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive.

"Of course, now, the weather is too cold, making these mutton soup, no matter the person on duty or the worker, can have some warming soup." Shu Yun understands that the village women feel distressed, " When the New Year comes, Fourth Master will prepare some meat, everyone has suffered a disaster this year, so we should have a prosperous year!"

If the Chinese New Year is rich, he should be able to live a good life, so Shu Yun tried his best to follow Yinzhen's wishes.

The village women were full of enthusiasm, and had long forgotten those things at home. This year's autumn harvest is not very good. It is probably impossible to have such a rich Spring Festival. However, after Yinzhen came, they had another idea .

"Fourth Madam, can we really get paid for building the tent?" A sister-in-law in her forties asked while looking at Shu Yun.

Shu Yun was taken aback for a moment, and nodded quickly. Yinzhen made a promise, and he would definitely not go back on his word.

"My lord said that when the new year is approaching, if you hire outside workers, you will probably have to pay a high price to build the shed. If the villagers do it yourself, the wages will be paid directly to you, but there will be no compensation for disaster relief! "Shu Yun directly followed what Yinzhen said, and explained it clearly to those sister-in-laws.

When the village women heard this, they quickly waved their hands, saying that they didn't care about the compensation.

In their view, it is good that the head of the family always has work to do. Every time there is a disaster relief, the head of the family has no work to do. After the disaster is over, it will take a long time to recover. The family is very difficult during this period.

"Fourth Madam, Fourth Master is thinking for us, we will definitely not be so ignorant!" The village head's wife hurriedly replied.

After the words fell, Shu Yun couldn't help but feel a little cold. These villagers didn't care at all, and instead helped Yinzhen to speak.

"Sister-in-law, don't you think that without those compensation funds, you will lose money?" Shu Yun quickly chopped vegetables, and everyone worked together to prepare dinner.

When the village head's wife heard this, she immediately became cheerful. Seeing Shu Yun's quick hands and feet, she knew that this master should always go to the kitchen, so she didn't worry any more.

"Of course it's not a loss. Every time a disaster is relieved, the head of the family has to recover for about half a year. Not only has the spring plowing been left behind, but the second year of staying here will make life difficult for us!" Shu Yun.

At this moment, Shu Yun understood why the villagers were so excited after Yinzhen mentioned the arrangement, and probably felt that Yinzhen helped them take care of the back road first.

"Sister-in-laws, these mutton soups are boiling in the pot. If you know how to make pasta, you can make some sesame seed cakes. When you have dinner, break the sesame seed cakes into small pieces and pour them with mutton soup to make homemade mutton. Soaking steamed buns can not only keep the cold away, but also satisfy the appetite." Shu Yun still remembers that there are some simple ways to make mutton steamed buns on the Internet, and this is one of them.

The sisters-in-law's eyes lit up. The recipe of mutton soup is very simple. Moreover, sheep are raised nearby, and the price of mutton is not very high. It is good to have a meal from time to time.

"Su Yan, go and chop some parsley and minced green onion. When you eat it later, you can sprinkle some on top!" Shu Yun stepped on the one in his hand and handed it to Su Yan.

Su Zhu followed Shu Yun and helped Shu Yun prepare the cooking. Shu Yun's craftsmanship was pretty good. Some of the village women went to cook, while others started to wash vegetables and dishes.

"Sisters-in-law, those bowls and chopsticks dug out of the ground must be boiled in the pot on the far side for a while!" Shu Yun saw that many bowls and chopsticks were taken out of collapsed houses.

The village women did not wash it with hot water, but with cold water, and the hands of the dishwashing staff were red from the cold.

"Besides, the sisters-in-law who wash the dishes can use warm water to wash them, otherwise, after a few days, their hands will be frozen to death!" Shu Yun specially asked people to prepare a few more pots, all of which were boiling hot water, Village women dare not use the hot water, thinking that the water should be useful. "The water in these pots is used for cooking dishes and washing dishes and vegetables."

Shu Yun looked at the rough hands of the village women, some even had chilblains, and frowned slightly. She suddenly remembered that there was a folk remedy, which seemed to be boiled water made from chili peppers and sliced ​​ginger. Wash your hands with boiled water, and it will be fine in a few days.

"At night, you can wash your hands and feet with the water boiled in these two pots, and the chilblains on your hands and feet will be cured!" Shu Yun took great care to protect his hands and feet when he came over.

"Really?!" The village chief's wife asked in surprise after hearing this.

If the method works, the wife of the village chief hopes to let her grandson use some. Children have had cold hands and feet since they were young. Before winter, there will be no good places for hands and feet.

Shu Yun nodded: "This is what the old man said. I came from the south. Ama and Er Niang were afraid that my hands and feet would be frozen, so they went to find some folk remedies!"

The village chief's wife cheered up: "Fourth madam, you are our lucky star!"

The sisters-in-law are very grateful to Shu Yun. After all, they rarely wash dishes with hot water at home. Under Shu Yun's order, they also feel that they are treated differently.

At home, some men are still beating women, thinking that women should work in the ice and snow in winter, so they feel a kind of respect from Shu Yun.

"Sisters-in-law, stop talking, it's just a trivial matter!" Shu Yun never thought that her little actions would actually make these sister-in-laws happy. She also felt that she didn't do enough.

The village women were all devoted to making the dinner, and they moved very quickly. When the dinner was ready, it was half an hour earlier than usual.

"Su Yan, go call Master and tell him that dinner is ready!" Shu Yun began to set aside food for Fourth Master, and the two of them were going to eat in a small tent, Yinzhen was definitely not used to eating outside.

The village chief's wife held the plate and said, "Fourth Madam, you serve up the meals for Fourth Master and you. We are all rough, and we will be a little careless when eating."

Shu Yun couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to agree.
