Chapter 170: Soup kitchen
"It's useful if it's dizzy, but now it seems that it's also useful for other people who don't wake up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info "Zhou Yu just had no choice, I tried it, I didn't expect it, it really worked."
ā¦ā¦
In a small courtyard somewhere.
"What's going on? Why didn't Zhou Yu be caught, but Nangong Luo was arrested? "Although arresting Nangong Luo can also threaten Zhou Yu, the risk of being exposed in that way has greatly increased.
"This, I'm weird too!" Gao Zhizhuo couldn't figure it out, he obviously wanted to 'invite' Zhou Yu to come, how could he lock up Nangong Luo? Moreover, Zhou Yu didn't look affected at all, "There should be other secrets in her." ā
"In addition to the mysterious space, what other secrets are there? What is that? "Zhong Nan's greed is immediately revealed, if there are other secrets, no matter what they are, they must be dug up and owned by themselves.
"What are you thinking?" Of course, Nangong Ze would not miss the light in Zhong Nan's eyes, but he thought that Zhong Nan was just interested in these mysterious things.
"I'd love to know what else we don't know?" Zhong Nan's answer was exactly in response to Nangong Ze's conjecture, so he didn't care further. As long as they can get what is useful to them and keep it for themselves, that's fine.
ā¦ā¦
The next morning, local officials arrived early and waited outside. Nangong Luo and Zhou Yu finished washing, had a simple breakfast, came out to meet them, and went directly to the place where the well was dug.
Zhou Yu has seen several places that have been hit before, and none of them can be fetched with water, so he has to find another place.
This time, it took a lot of time for Zhou Yu to find it, no wonder the water didn't come out of the water before.
The ground is mostly stone, and there is no water outlet at all.
But, in fact, eight or nine meters underground, there is a flow of living water. It's just that today's drilling technology, if you have to drill eight or nine meters, it is really time-consuming.
Every time Zhou Yu went to a set place to draw water, he looked around, and he could only pick up a slightly shallow one, and he also had to designate a place that could be used by two or three nearby villages.
About halfway through the search, it was noon. It was impossible for the local officials to let the dignified prince and princess go hungry to work, so they invited them to the county government to eat.
On the way back, Zhou Yu took a carriage. After walking for about two quarters of an hour, listening to the sounds outside, Zhou Yu lifted the curtain and looked out.
I found that there were many people dressed in tatters along the way, holding bowls in their hands, and they should be queuing up to receive porridge.
When they arrived at the gate of the county office, the carriage stopped. When Zhou Yu got out of the car, he saw the soup kitchen shed at the entrance of the county government.
There are two large wooden barrels under the shed, and two servants are scooping porridge for the person who receives it. Look carefully at the porridge, it is quite thick, and it cannot be said that the chopsticks do not fall, but in special periods, special treatment, it is good to be able to save your life now.
Zhou Yu nodded lightly and walked to the county government with Nangong Luo. However, Zhou Yu's ears are more sharp, and when he heard the people who received the porridge, some of them were saying, "Today's porridge is good." Someone else said, "Thanks to the inspection today, there will be no such good thing tomorrow." ā
Well? Is there an inside story here?
Turning his head to look at Nangong Luo, Nangong Luo gave Zhou Yu a reassuring look, obviously, he also heard what those people said.
Since this is the case, Nangong Luo will definitely have an arrangement, and Zhou Yu will be relieved.
They entered the county office, and the meals arranged by the county order were all on the table. When Zhou Yu saw it, he frowned. This, too abundant.
There were sixteen dishes on the table, flying in the sky, running on the ground, and even swimming in the water, fish! Although there is only one swim in the water, this also shows that there is water nourishment. I don't know how the water was preserved to raise fish.
Even in a disaster-free year, this is too abundant.
Nangong Luo is not a person who covets appetite, and he is also displeased when he sees this. However, he didn't say anything and sat down. Zhou Yu saw Nangong Luo sitting, so he sat down.
The county order didn't dare to serve the table, and everyone else was standing next to it, which made Zhou Yu very unaccustomed. Eating a meal and being watched by people makes me feel uncomfortable.
"Lord Wang, let them all go down to eat, they are all busy all morning, and they are tired." Zhou Yu said to Nangong Luo euphemistically.
"Well, you all go down." Nangong Luo spoke.
"Yes." The officials left.
"Chenfeng, why are they so extravagant? Are you not afraid of our sins when we ask them? "Zhou Yu called Nangong Luo 'Wangye' in front of outsiders, and called his word 'Chenfeng' in private.
"Whether they are well prepared or not, they are apprehensive. If the preparation is simple, and we are extravagant, then they are out of luck; Like now," Nangong Luo pointed to the food on the table, "They actually feel more grasped. After all, the royal family, even those with slightly larger official positions, are used to this. It's just that in these extraordinary times, they will still be a little worried, afraid of being blamed on the surface. ā
"It's not easy for them to say that." The official university crushed people to death, which is more true than real gold.
"Forget it, next time, let people send a letter to the front in advance, and it's a simple diet everywhere." Nangong Luo thought for a moment.
"Well, that's good. Let's pick a few of these things to eat, and let them give the rest to the people outside. Zhou Yu thought that people outside could only drink porridge, which was very pitiful.
"You! That's not right. Nangong Luo's mind was still sober, "If you take it out, those people will not be able to scold these officials to death, and we will also be scolded." ā
"Yes. I can't think it through. Zhou Yu thought about it carefully, and it was indeed the case, "Then what should I do?" ā
"Now that it's cold, it won't go bad. You can let them put these in the porridge tomorrow and boil them. ā
"Well, that's a good idea."
The two of them picked out a few things, and after they were full, the county ordered those people to wait outside.
"They eat faster than we do." Zhou Yu said.
"We have to hurry, they can't keep us waiting." Nangong Luo didn't care about this, and turned around and said to the people outside the door, "Called them in." ā
The sound fell, and the county ordered them to come over.
Although they looked like they were bowing their heads, their eyes were still sweeping over the table. When they saw that many of the dishes had not moved, their faces immediately changed. There are those who are timid, and cold sweat has come down.
"Now is an extraordinary time, are you worthy of the people for your extravagance and waste?" Nangong Luo's voice was neither high nor low, and there was no angry tone.
Nangong Luo didn't want to scare them, after all, it was rare for the county order and these officials who were smaller than the county order to see a prince like the prince, but this made them mistakenly think that Nangong Luo was just trying to do it on the surface.
"The prince loves the people, and his humble position is better than one. It's just that the prince has worked hard all the way, we must prepare one or two for the prince, and please don't be surprised. ā
