In February, the ice and snow melt, and the snow and ice that had been silent for a winter slowly disappeared with the spring breeze. In the days when the farmers in Jiangxing County loudly praised Ruixue for being a good year and began to actively participate in spring sowing, several counties in Linzhou also ushered in the spring flood because of the large amount of snowfall this winter.

The snow water flowed into the Xiaojiang River, causing the water level of the Xiaojiang River to rise sharply, and the water level of several large tributaries of the Xiaojiang River directly broke through the critical line, and the cold ice water poured into thousands of hectares of farmland, flooding dozens of villages, causing a large number of farmers to be homeless and landless to plant. As a result, these displaced refugees packed up their remaining belongings and dragged their surviving family members to flee in all directions.

Because of the geographical advantage, Jiangxing County not only avoided this waterlogging, but also because of the increase in water volume, the farmers' spring sowing was smooth, and the land that had just been sown was fully irrigated, and it was seen that it would usher in a bumper harvest year. However, the refugees who rushed into Jiangxing County, the ruined houses and the roadsides and alleys, also made the people sympathize, and they didn't know what to do.

The victims of the disaster are fleeing from all directions, but Jiangxing County is not far from the affected counties, so it is also a key area for the victims to take refuge.

Some can find relatives or some people to help one or two, and some craftsmen can also find an errand, but most of them are old and young who have no roots and no relatives. So, they all turned into beggars, hoping for help.

Because of the influx of outsiders, Jiangxing County is no longer as peaceful as in the past, theft and robbery also occur occasionally, and people will not be able to survive once they are going to live. The binding force of the law plummeted.

Dong Shuyan, as the parent official of Jiangxing County, naturally can't let these refugees disrupt the order of Jiangxing County, but he can't ruthlessly drive the refugees away. Watching them starve to death. So in addition to asking for the opening of the warehouse to release grain, he also called on the rich families in the county to donate generously and help the poor. In addition, let all those who are able to do it requisition some young and strong people to do things.

Chai Yanfeng, together with a group of merchants, received the invitation of the county order Dong Shuyan, had a mobilization meal, and then actively responded to the call of the county order. A lot of money was donated to the relief of the victims. After Dong Shuyan's request, he opened a warehouse to release grain, and a fixed amount of food would be given to the victims every day. Besides. Almost all the wealthy families in Jiangxing County have also set up porridge sheds to give the victims some food.

And the leftovers of Yipinge were originally a rare good thing for beggars, so the location of the back alley of Yipinge can be described as fiercely competitive.

The little twin sisters were reduced to begging for a while to make a living. Causes. Sympathy is especially felt for these beggars.

Of course, they are also measured, and they will not give away the things of Yipinge at will, but they classify and put the leftovers in Yipinge every day, and in the evening, the little sisters will use the big pot of stewed meat to heat a large pot of water, and when it comes out of the pot, it is barely a pot of hot soup, which is extremely rare in the cold days of spring.

Then the two young ladies took the leftovers. Take a big pot of soup to the back alley and distribute it to the beggars.

After Dong Shuyan called for relief for the victims, most of the wealthy merchants were like that. As much as possible, they hired some of these outsiders to work in their homes. Of course, the people who are employed are generally young and vigorous men and women. And the elderly and children, relying on the county government and private alms every day, can also have something to eat.

The meal of the two little sisters is actually mainly prepared for the children who have fled. Among the children as young as four or five years old and as old as thirteen or fourteen, there are either adults who have fallen ill and died and become orphans, or there are only twenty or thirty elderly people who have no ability to earn a living who are left with their ancestors.

They are young and weak, and although the porridge shed for disaster relief is open to release grain, it is impossible to supply it in unlimited quantities, and there is a fixed amount every day. As a result, these children often can't get it. And sometimes they grab it, but they don't necessarily get it in their mouths, and they may be quickly snatched away by others.

So at first they were all hungry and full.

Until one day they also came to Yipinkaku.

When the young ladies distributed the leftovers, they found the children and gave them food first. As time went by, there were more and more children.

Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng are of course clear about the actions of the young ladies. However, of course, they would not object to the young ladies saving more people if conditions permitted. With permission, the young ladies became more active every day. As soon as they were done with their business at hand, they began to pick up the leftovers, and then before dark, they brought food to the little beggars to the back door.

On this day, the young ladies made a few buckets of leftovers, accompanied by a bucket of noodles and rice left over from the guests to be sent to the little beggars, and it happened that Shu Jin came to the stove room.

"Master! Can I help you? The two ladies hurriedly greeted each other. At this time, there are basically no new guests in the building, and the dishes ordered by the guests are all ready, so usually Shu Jin no longer stays here. Shu Jin came today, so Jiaojiao asked.

"Nothing." Shu Jin replied, approached and looked at the contents of the barrel of the young lady, and asked, "Is this something to be taken out?" ”

"Yes, Master!"

"Why, I don't have much left food today."

"Well, there are few guests today, and the spring sowing may be over, so many people have one less dinner."

Shu Jin nodded when he heard this, walked to the stove and lifted the lid to take a look. The rice in the pot is still steaming, but it is true that there is much more than what is left every day.

The two little girls are very sensible, and when giving alms, they only use the food left by the guests in the building that they haven't touched much, and the rice that has not been sold, even if it is left in the pot and no one orders them, they will not move.

"Wait a minute."

Shu Jin said as he rolled up his sleeves and walked directly to a board and cut up the green onions.

"Master? What are you going to do? I'll help you out. After a slight look, he hurriedly put down the rice bucket in his hand, washed his hands and came over to help.

Wash your hands before cooking, this is Shu Jinjiao's ironclad rule, and those who cook must be clean. So the young ladies didn't even keep their nails long, and they washed their hands more often than their faces.

"No, you just have to wait." Shu Jin said as he said, he had already taken seven or eight eggs and beat them in a basin. Next, turn over the rice in the pot.

"Master, do you want fried rice?" Kyaukjiao also washed her hands and came over, and asked when she saw Shu Jin's movements.

"Yes." Shu Jin replied.

"Ah, then I'll help the master watch the fire." As she spoke, she went to look at the fire in the stove.

Shu Jin nodded, began to neatly heat the oil, scrambled eggs, chopped green onions, then mixed in the rice, stir-fryed, until the rice was separated one by one, mixed evenly with the egg crumbs and chopped green onions, and then added salt and stir-fried well.

When the rice was fried, Shu Jin put them in a large wooden rice bucket, then washed his hands and tidied up his sleeves, picked up the wooden bucket, and said to Weijiaojiao:

"Let's take the leftovers with the children today, and they can still have breakfast. Give them these freshly fried rice. (To be continued......)
