"Thank you sir for me." Lu Ziyuan was slightly startled. This county magistrate was very considerate of her.
"Our adults also said that as long as the disaster relief food from the court comes, we can all have food to eat again. I estimate that we should be able to wait for five or six days." The officers and soldiers couldn't help but swallow their saliva as they spoke.
Rice is now the most anticipated food for everyone. When they learned that the government had allocated funds for disaster relief, almost all the refugees began to look forward to the day when the food would arrive in the disaster area.
Although there are more monks and less gruel, no one can eat less than a few mouthfuls of gruel and everyone is content. Twenty tons of rice is enough for everyone to drink gruel.
The officers and soldiers were still in a hurry to return to their duties and left quickly without sitting down. The villagers gathered around the bags of medicine unloaded in the yard with happy faces, "Mrs. Lian, is it true that with these medicines, all of us can be saved?"
"
"Yes." Lu Ziyuan nodded and gave everyone a reassuring answer.
Lian Guanlang looked at the small bag of rice on the ground and then pulled Lu Ziyuan. He could see that the county magistrate really valued the two of them. This small bag of rice was enough for the two of them to steam white rice for three days, but...
Lian Guanlang frowned and looked at Lu Ziyuan. The two of them understood what the other was thinking at a glance and smiled at each other in tacit understanding.
"Village chief, please keep this rice. I see that there are some wives in the village who are pregnant and are about to give birth. When the child is born, the adults can't eat well now. There is no milk, so the child will have to drink some rice soup.
Lu Ziyuan paused and explained, "My husband and I still have the dry food we brought. My child is still young, and I am not so squeamish that I insist on eating gruel. Solid food can also fill my stomach."
This rice is very expensive now, so we can't let it go to waste."
"That's not possible. This is specially prepared by the county magistrate for you and your wife. How can we take your things? Besides, the officer and soldier just said that the rice grain from the court will arrive in five or six days. By then,
We can all have food." The village chief waved his hands repeatedly.
"In that case, let's cook more porridge in the past few days for the children who have been hungry for a long time. If you don't agree, I will ask the county magistrate to take the rice back." Lu Ziyuan looked serious.
"Village chief, listen to my wife and cook some porridge for the children in the village. The children are still so young and have been hungry for so long. It's so pitiful. My wife and I can't even eat dry food. You also said that in a few days
The rice grains from the imperial court have just arrived, and we should be within a few days." Lian Guanlang agreed, and then reminded Lu Ziyuan that the medicine in the kitchen was probably ready, and the two of them entered the kitchen.
"Brother Guan Lang, if I weren't afraid that they would question me, I would have brought out the food from the cabin and shared it with everyone." Lu Ziyuan sighed, "The more they think about me, the more I want to be nice to them.
.”
Lu Ziwan is like this. If someone treats her well, she will want to treat them twice as well. This is human nature. She has lived in this village for almost three days, and everyone here treats her very much.
She is friendly and greets everyone with a smile when she goes out. She likes this atmosphere very much.
Early the next morning, the able-bodied men in the village were still carrying water from the mountains, leaving only the women in the village. Lu Ziyuan asked Lian Guanlang to help break up and sort the food delivered, and then she grabbed some and put them away.
Boil it in the Bailing Spring water in the pot.
Most of the medicines used to clear away heat and detoxify are a little bit bitter. If there is too much medicine, after the medicine is boiled and put into the white porcelain bowl, the medicine will become black and no longer as clear and cool as mint water. For the villagers,
Generally speaking, good medicine tastes bitter, and bitter medicine cures diseases. This is right!
After the medicine was ready, I called the aunts and ladies in the village to put the medicine into wooden barrels and carried it to the two ancestral temples. Bowls were distributed for everyone to drink. No matter how dark or bitter the medicine was, no one complained.
, the dark medicine is a life-saving elixir for them.
"Three times a day, I thought that after two or three days, everyone's illness will be cured." Lu Ziyuan thought to herself. In order to avoid everyone finding out about their good news too quickly, Lu Ziyuan planned to add Bailing Spring water at noon.
