There are more than a dozen large wooden barrels lined up, all filled with porridge with lean meat and vegetable leaves. The aroma can be smelled from a long distance.
Li Ke looked at the meat porridge and licked his lips. There were several sheep in it.
Damn it, if those guys don't show any promise today and don't bring back prey, they will have to eat vegetarian food tonight.
Du He turned around and asked, "Where is Brother Wei?"
Everyone discovered that Wei Shuyu was missing.
"Ah? Mr. Wei was still here just now."
"Where is Mr. Wei?"
Suddenly someone shouted: "Master Wei is over here!"
Du He quickly ran over to take a look and saw Wei Shuyu holding the hands of the two cooks and saying earnestly: "You two, your meat porridge is generally pretty good, but it has too much salt. It is too salty.
I'm afraid it's inappropriate. Firstly, it tastes bad, and secondly, it's a waste of salt. Salt is very expensive..."
After saying that, he also burped.
Everyone: "..."
Du He: "...Brother Wei, have you eaten this porridge?"
Wei Shuyu turned around and scratched his head in embarrassment, "Brother Du, I didn't have time to have breakfast in the morning. I just saw this meat porridge and couldn't help but eat some. It's just too salty."
Du He smiled helplessly and said: "Brother Wei, you don't know something. This meat porridge is delicious. I'm afraid the people will not be satisfied after eating it. Therefore, I asked people to add more salt. The taste is not good. The most important thing is that it will not taste good."
After eating meat porridge, you have to drink water. After drinking this water, when you are full, everyone will no longer think about the meat porridge, otherwise how can the meat porridge be distributed..."
Everyone was shocked.
It turns out that this was Du He's arrangement, not that there was too much salt on the cupboard door.
Everyone turned around and saw that not far away, there were barrels piled up, containing pure water.
Wei Shuyu came to his senses and suddenly realized: "Brother Du is so considerate and considerate that I admire you."
Du He patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, Brother Wei, right now, it's important to find an expert in raising pigs. Don't delay the important matter!"
"Yes... hiccup..."
…
The porridge service begins.
More than 23,000 homeless people in the county and more than 15,000 laborers have been recruited to build roads and farm fields. These people have been organized outside the city. The remaining 8,000 women, children, old and young,
Some of them had family members, and they also left the city. Therefore, there were only more than 3,000 widows and widowers left without anyone to take care of them. Therefore, it was much easier to provide rice porridge and disaster relief.
Dang Dang Dang.
The gong sounded, and the people gathered nearby came forward with bowls in their hands.
Seeing that they were eating meat porridge today, many people were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.
"The magistrate is a good man!"
"I've...I haven't seen meat in five years!"
"Woooo..."
"The county magistrate is a parent official..."
Some people were so excited that they knelt down in front of Du He.
Crying and crying.
Li Ke looked at these old men and women who were unable to walk unsteadily, and asked in surprise: "Teacher, are these the experts you call pig farmers? These people, I'm afraid even a little piglet can knock them over!"
"
Wei Shuyu also looked confused.
Du He smiled slightly, "Don't worry, since he is an expert at raising pigs, how can he appear so easily? You need to wait patiently."
"oh!"
…
To the west of the city, in a dilapidated courtyard.
There were actually more than thirty people gathered in this courtyard.
They are all in their prime, the youngest is in his teens and the eldest is in his forties, all of them are very strong.
This place is the headquarters of the Miao Tou Gang.
The Miaotou Gang, plus the helper Miao Laosan, has a total of thirty-five members.
Most of these people, except for a few high-level gang members, are homeless people who were victimized by Qiu Wanjia.
When they were desperate, everyone accepted Miao Laosan's recruitment and joined the Miao Tou Gang.
In the past few years, the Miao Tou Gang has been vigorously developing in the county seat of Hu County. Its main business is to rob money and food from ordinary people; second, to go out at night and rob some people who are alone; and third, to serve as a helper for the local gentry.
, helping the nobles do some shameful things.
Therefore, everyone's life is relatively comfortable.
However, after Qiu Wanjia died, the court suddenly sent a new county magistrate, and there were suddenly more government officials patrolling the streets, regardless of day or night, and there were even new city management teams.
At this time, the Miao Tou Gang's business plummeted.
Now, everyone has not eaten rice dumplings for two days.
Under the willow tree, Miao Laosan, the leader of the Miao Tou Gang, was holding an earthen bowl. It was a bowl of clear water porridge that you could see at a glance, with only a few grains of rice floating on the water.
"Bah, is this still a human life? This new dog magistrate is going to push us to a dead end!" Miao Laosan cursed angrily.
Next to him, the dog-headed military advisor said: "Help, we can't go on like this. If we continue like this, we will starve to death sooner or later. Why don't we do something big? I heard that the county government borrowed two million from the Wudi Bank in Chang'an, and there are already five."
One hundred thousand guan has been sent to the county government. We might as well organize people to rob the county government and then fly away. Five hundred thousand guan is enough for brothers to spend several lifetimes."
Snapped.
When Miao Laosan heard this, he smashed the earthen bowl into pieces and said, "Okay, let's do this. Gather all the brothers. Without further ado, let's do it tonight!"
boom.
At this moment, the dilapidated courtyard door was knocked open, and two ragged men ran in and shouted excitedly: "Gang leader, what a happy event, what a happy event!"
Miao Laosan asked: "What's the matter?"
One of them said: "Gang leader, the south gate is giving out porridge. Porridge, meat porridge, there is meat..."
This guy was drooling while talking.
Wow.
The Miao Tou Gang, who had been lying lazily in various places in the yard, all stood up with a roar.
Miao Laosan wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and waved his hand: "Let's go eat porridge. Eat until you're full first!"
Everyone followed Miao Laosan and walked out in a hurry.
…
The backyard of a shop.
"The shopkeeper is serving porridge at the south gate. The county magistrate personally leads people to serve porridge. Each person can receive two bowls of meat porridge. It's all meat porridge!" a waiter said excitedly.
The old man who was originally lying on the chair suddenly stood up and ordered: "Hurry, gather all the guys and go get the porridge."
"Okay!"
In a short time, the shopkeeper's sons and daughters, who worked in the shop, all went to the south gate to receive porridge.
"Hey, you can save a meal..."
The old man was impressed by his wit.
…
"Son, the South Gate is giving you porridge. It's still meat porridge. Go and get it!"
"If you go late, there will be no more!"
"Dad, our family has food!"
"You bastard, what do you know? If you don't eat, you won't get anything. That's meat porridge. Look, dad hasn't eaten meat for several months. Hurry up and get a bowl for dad!"
"Yes, dad, I'm going right now!"
…
Huang family.
The owner of the house, Huang Meili, called the housekeeper urgently: "Hurry up and tell the cook that there is no need to cook lunch today. You should quickly organize everyone to go and eat porridge. It is meat porridge. It is very delicious!"
