Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 34 Weird Request
A child tremblingly stepped forward. His clothes were tattered, and he seemed a little shy. He subconsciously pulled his clothes to cover his bulging stomach, then knelt down and kowtowed, "Here, kowtow to the eldest girl."

Zuo Fu's pupils shrank slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Get up."

After thinking for a while, he said, "How many children in the Thousand Households Institute have such bulging bellies?"

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Although the ancients could not describe the pot belly disease in the technical terms of later generations, the principle of the disease is known.

Too poor, the child did not eat the next meal, this is a big belly disease caused by not eating for a long time.Once the child's belly is bulging, it is not far from death.

"There are always about seventy or eighty people who are obviously bulging."

Bai Baihu answered, "You'll have to check the details to find out."

"Check it out as soon as possible and prepare a big house. I will take care of these children myself."

"What?"

Chen Ruping Qianhu was dumbfounded again.

The daughter of a dignified family of a thousand is actually going to take care of the children of a military family?
The military households were also shocked.

In their imagination, the girls of the Qianhu family should have no fingers, and it is not uncommon for them to be knowledgeable, but it is unbelievable to take care of such inferior people as them personally.

"Everyone, don't worry, my master knows how to treat these children. If you entrust them to me, they will be taken care of properly. As for the food, don't worry, I will ask someone to open a small stove to cook it."

Yu Er cried again, and kowtowed again, "The elder girl is merciful, the younger one kowtows to you, and the younger one kowtows to you!"

"Stop knocking."

Zuo Fu stopped Yu Er and helped him up himself. Looking at Yu Er's sunken eyes and sallow face, he couldn't help but sigh, "For more than 200 years, the imperial court has treated scholars favorably, but it has failed you..."

A sigh made everyone's eyes turn red, and some couldn't help crying. The family members of the military households covered their faces one after another, crying softly at first, then gradually they cried louder, and in a blink of an eye they became one. , even Chen Qianhu and Bai Baihu, the exploiting classes, were red-eyed, and secretly wiped away their tears with their heads tilted, feeling bitter in their hearts.

These soldiers are not born shameless, nor are they cowards.It is really that the world despises them too much, and even said something like "good men don't serve as soldiers".

Why?Why! !

Why should they shed tears after shedding their blood? !

From the tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in the early days of the country to more than 2000 acres now, did those officials and lords ever think of them when they were full of oil? !Never!They never thought of it!Not only did they not expect it, but they also discriminated against them, calling them lowly embryos!What are they doing wrong? !

Zuo Fu remained silent, allowing these people to lose their composure.If you hold back for too long, let's vent. If you don't vent, this team will always be numb and bloodless.

The crying became louder and louder, and some people even hugged each other and wept bitterly. The scorching sun in the sky was bright and hot, but this hotness could not dispel the sadness in people's hearts.

I don't know how long it took, the crying gradually subsided, and seeing everyone's mood gradually stabilized, Zuo Fu said: "Don't be afraid, everyone, our life will get better in the future, I promise! You can eat with your stomach open these days, I will My father also bought a batch of grain at the market, and we will practice again when everyone is healthy! Chen Qianhu!"

"Humble!"

Chen Ruping subconsciously changed his address, which seemed to be a natural thing.Zuo Fu is not domineering, but this kind of sympathy for military households makes him feel warm.

"From now on, every drill soldier will be given a glass of milk every day, and those who are extremely weak..."

Zuo Fu picked up Ansu Powder, "Add another cup of this, which is also prepared with boiling water. And from today on, if you see someone drinking raw water, don't blame me for being rude!"

After finishing speaking, he picked up a bottle of anti-worm tablets, "Drinking raw water will cause worms to grow in the stomach, and every household will come to me to receive this medicine later, after eating, the worms will be pulled down, and the body will gradually become stronger. "

"insect?"

Chen Ruping's eyes turned into mosquito coils again, but then he shivered again.He suddenly felt that he had asked too many questions today.These things were sent by Taoist Priest Qing, and the Taoist Priest is a living god, so if you ask around like this, doesn't it appear that you don't believe in gods?
"Well, this is complicated to say. After taking this medicine and pulling out the worms, you will understand. In short, raw water is not allowed to be drunk, it must be boiled before drinking. River water and well water must also be beaten with alum before use. In addition, don't let me see anyone urinating indiscriminately again, if a person wants to live a healthy life, he must keep clean."

While talking, she bent down and picked up a piece of sulfur soap, "If it's really hot today, you can take a bath with a little hot water. This is called sulfur soap. It can cleanse the body, and it will create foam after rubbing it in water. I'll go back later. , listen up!"

Zuo Fu straightened his face and said very seriously: "One counts as one, wash yourself with this sulfur soap, and your hair won't fall off! If I smell your body smelling bad tomorrow, you will eat the food that Master sent Stop eating!"

"what!"

Everyone exclaimed, but after thinking about it, they felt relieved.It's normal for the eldest girl to have demands on them, otherwise why give them such good food for nothing?Although this request is a bit odd...

"Bring all the clothes I can wear back home and boil them in boiling water, and throw away the torn ones! No need to waste the water! Master will send a batch of fabrics later, so don't be afraid of running out of clothes! Children and women are all You have to dress me neatly, we are soldiers of Ming Dynasty, not beggars! Also, the drill soldiers will go to Limu later to get the clothes and shoes used for drills, that's all..."

The eyes of the military households have also become mosquito coils.Not only food, but also clothes and shoes?The fabrics of these clothes look really good, but why are the styles so weird?And the shoes... are also weird, why do the two shoes look different?

There is no distinction between left and right shoes in ancient times, so it is normal for military households to feel weird.Besides, there is a time gap in it, and it is normal for these ordinary modern products to look weird in the eyes of the ancients.

"Chen Qianhu, check the quantity with Li Limu. The salt will be divided into one catty for each family first, and the rest will be put in the warehouse. The soldiers will practice, and it will not work if there is no salt. The cloth is counted by the head. First, ensure that each family Every woman and child can make a set of clothes. In two days, the master will send another batch of pure color ones, and then distribute them to others."

"Yes! I humbly take orders!"

"There are also these tonics and medicines. Find me a house to keep them safe. These things are the key to curing the big belly disease."

"Yes, daughter!"

Chen Qianhu clasped his fists and said, "There are quite a few empty houses in Qianhu's house. I'll order someone to clean them out later..."

After a pause, he asked again: "Qianjin, how many rooms do you need for the school?"

Zuo Fu was directly confused, "How many? Are there so many school-age children?"

Chen Qianhu touched his nose, and said awkwardly: "We have a lot of children here..."
