Li Yinguang led Lan Ling and Sophia towards the outside.
The sky was a bit gloomy, and it looked like a prelude to an approaching blizzard. Although there was no wind, it was cold and cold, and the chill penetrated into the bones.
At the entrance of Heixin Grocery Store, there were two huge iron pots with a diameter of 2.5 meters, and firewood was burning underneath to cook porridge. A faint fragrance filled the air with the heat.
The materials chosen should be the worst cereals, and they may be old goods from the next year, but it does not hinder the fragrance of the cereals themselves.
Old man Zhou was wearing a robe and coat made of high-end animal skins, holding a big golden pipe in his hand, standing at the door with his eyes narrowed.
When he saw Li Yinguang coming over, he didn't smile. Instead, he sighed and cursed in a low voice: "This is a damn bad weather. If it continues like this, someone will freeze to death!"
Li Yinguang looked up at the sky, which was filled with dark clouds. He smiled bitterly and said, "Who says it's not the case?"
"The tabloid office in Manbach Town has a good reputation in the slums. Why don't you just save someone's life? I don't say who you can save, but I hope you can do something... you have a clear conscience!" Old man Zhou squinted his eyes.
Encourage said.
Li Yinguang's eyes flashed, he laughed, and nodded: "What you always said is, one mouthful is not enough, the old one is two mouths, why can't this kid only three mouths!"
After saying that, he turned to the guard and ordered: "Go and buy three big pots and set them up at the door of our small newspaper office. Let's also follow the example of Mr. Zhou Dashan from the black-hearted grocery store and give up porridge to help the poor."
"yes!"
Old man Zhou squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "I have everything in Black Heart's grocery store, including pots, pans, firewood, rice, oil and salt!"
Li Yinguang: "..."
Even if three large pots are used to cook porridge at the same time, using whole grains, it won’t cost much. It will gain a good reputation and at the same time, it will accumulate virtue for oneself.
It is not impossible for people to freeze to death due to hunger and cold, not to mention that there are not many places that can be grabbed in the slums, and Black Heart Grocery Store is definitely one of them!
Old Man Zhou gave up his porridge not only to do good deeds, but also to set up a talisman for himself.
"I remember there is a fish seller in the town. Can any of you go and see if there are any leftover fish heads, fish bones, fish offal and the like? If you don't worry about the price, bring some back and get two pots to cook for everyone.
Have fish soup." Li Yinguang thought of something and ordered.
'Desolate cod' itself is a specialty of the town of Manbach. It is not difficult to catch, and the price is not cheap, but it is acceptable. And these fish offal and other things are not eaten by rich people, but eaten by poor people.
Sorry.
Even the fish soup made from wasteland cod's offal, offal, and fish soup contains more nutrients than multigrain porridge, and the corresponding cost will be higher.
But it doesn't matter. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Doing a good deed is quite good.
Seeing that Li Yinguang actually set up five pots in front of the small newspaper office in Manbach Town, Old Man Zhou didn't know what he was thinking. He gritted his teeth and asked others to set up three more pots.
A total of ten cauldrons alarmed more than half of the people in the slum!
"Quine up, queue up. Don't crowd the left and right of men and women. Those who don't line up well will have no fucking porridge to drink. That one is for children, that one is for the elderly. If you can't stand it, you will starve to death soon.
Go to the pot with the fewest people and you can still stand the queue!"
In the afternoon, it got dark very early, and light snowflakes began to fall.
Lan Ling stood in front of the big pot, pouring porridge for visitors with spoonfuls without feeling tired. His face was innocent and stubborn, but his eyes were bright.
At this moment, in the eyes of many slum dwellers, she may be just a...goddess!
…
"What is that guy Li Yinguang doing these days?"
Lord's Mansion, Andifi asked.
Ou Lan replied: "Princess, that boy Li Yinguang is giving porridge to people in the slums."
"Save porridge?"
Andi Fei was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Ou Lan: "His small newspaper office seems to be in the slums, right?"
"yes!"
Ou Lan nodded.
Li Yinguang's property in Manbach Town has been clearly understood. Even in the past few days, as long as he left the castle and came to Manbach Town, his every move would be watched.
"It's been extremely cold these days. If Li Yinguang and Zhou Shanren from the Black Heart Grocery Store hadn't set up ten large pots and cooked porridge for free to help the poor, many people would have froze to death and starved to death!"
After a slight pause, he said softly: "The people in the city are better off, but the refugees outside the city who are fleeing for shelter are even worse. In all likelihood, they will not survive for a few days!"
There are a large number of refugees outside the town of Manbach, who have gathered from all around. They can't even enter the slums in the town!
Andi Fei looked at her, suddenly smiled, and said: "Since Li Yinguang is willing to do good deeds, let him do more. Clara sent people outside the city to inform the refugees in the camping, let's talk about the slums
There are people inside who are giving away porridge for free, so tell them to go quickly and tell the city gate that there is no need to stop the refugees from coming in. As long as they are not in other parts of the town, let them pass!"
Clara, the captain of the guard, took the order, turned around and walked outside.
Ou Lan secretly frowned, feeling that Andi Fei was teasing Li Yinguang, but she didn't understand why she would do this.
Li Yinguang is nominally a member of Andifei, at least that's what they think!
Andy Fei said indifferently: "She is giving up porridge in name to help the poor, but in fact it is a trick to win people's hearts. That thief old man Zhou Shanren has been living in the slums for so many years. Li Yinguang also wants to play this trick. I really feel that he
How smart is that?"
Ou Lan hesitated and couldn't help but said: "Isn't it bad for the princess to do this? Those poor people are useless people. If they starve to death, their bodies must be collected. Now that there are people to help, a few more people will survive.
Wouldn’t it be a good time to replenish the missing manpower at the mine next year?”
"There is no such thing as a useless person. Even the corpse has a certain price." Andy Fei said here, shaking his head: "The human heart is something that only the lord can buy in Manbach Town, and it is most suitable for the lord to buy it. Others
People are just dogs trying to catch mice.”
From Andifei's words, it is not difficult to hear that she does not care about the life and death of the people in the slums. Those are dispensable people, and their existence value is only to help create profits for the town of Manbach. They are dirty
If one group of lower-class people dies, a second group and a third group will appear.
Lord Manbach is the person in charge of Manbach Town, and the Manbach family is the master of this area.
Whether they are poor people or refugees, they all belong to the property of the Manbach family. The Manbach family has the right to decide their life and death. Even if they freeze to death and turn into cold corpses, there is no need to use others to provide relief.
Andife represents the upper class of power in Manbach Town. In her eyes, Li Yinguang is just a 'tool' that can do things for her and make money. Although she is a little nobler than a slave, she is just a dog in her lap.
