Volume 3 Spring and Autumn of the Pen Knife Chapter 122 Just want to live

On the eighth day of the tenth lunar month of the Yongxi Dynasty of the Yan Dynasty, Jiangning City was covered by heavy snow, and the good weather that has been sunny since the first day of the lunar month is still inevitably over. After Cao Yi got up, he looked at the thick snow on the eaves outside the window, as well as the goose feather snow that was still disturbing, and sighed: "Ruixue is a good year, Rui is a person with a good land, and a rich family is a person with a lot of wealth, only those who are homeless, hungry, and clothed are praying that God will stop snowing, otherwise they will really not survive this winter!" ”

Even if it was a snowy day, Cao Yi still couldn't exercise his body, and after washing, he didn't have time to eat breakfast and rushed to the Zuixian Building with Red Sleeves and others, because today is going to distribute righteous porridge, and yesterday early posted on the notice board about today's porridge, those who are in difficulty should be waiting in line there early in the morning.

When Cao Yi and the others arrived at the Zuixian Building, sure enough, there was already a long queue at the temporary greenhouse built yesterday on the side of the gate of the Zuixian Building. This greenhouse was originally built to prevent bad weather such as snow and rain, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today.

Because neither Cao Yi nor Red Sleeves arrived at the Zuixianlou side, they didn't dare to make an initiative to distribute it, so the store took advantage of the fact that there were few people now, and half of the waiters and nurses spontaneously came over to organize people to line up and maintain order on the spot.

Cao Yi watched these people all trembling in the heavy snow and cold wind, and immediately mobilized the waiters and nurses in the restaurant to quickly take out two kinds of porridge, as well as several baskets of freshly steamed steamed buns. Later, he personally took Red Sleeves and others to distribute food to those in line. Among these people, most of them are the elderly and children, young people and middle-aged people are rarely seen, and only the elderly who have not fully grown up or have lost their ability to work come to the queue to receive relief food because of their meagre income.

Among the people in line, there are their own bowls or cups, you can hold the porridge and take the steamed buns back to your place to eat slowly, and there is no container to hold it, Zuixianlou will also provide bowls and chopsticks, but in this case, you can only eat the porridge on the spot, and then return the bowl to Zuixianlou.

Judging from the porridge pie scene, Fugui Egg Lean Porridge is undoubtedly more popular, because the reputation of Fugui Egg is still spreading, and these poor people can't even eat the most basic meal, let alone spend 20 Wen to buy an egg, not to mention that the name of this porridge is Fugui Egg Lean Meat, even if there is shredded meat inside

It can satisfy cravings, not to mention that Zuixianlou puts lean meat strips in it, so most people basically choose preserved egg and lean porridge.

Cao Yi saw that the wind and snow were getting bigger now, and there were more and more people in line, and the queue was getting longer and longer, so Cao Yi simply divided it into two places to send porridge, anyway, the greenhouse itself had enough space, so he let the original row of lines become two rows, and let the nursing home maintain order, so that part of the queue line was divided out in an orderly manner.

One is Cao Yi, Musk Yue, Tan Yun and Raider. The other place is the red sleeves, autumn patterns, blue marks, Qiqi and Qingwen. There are two people in charge of each place, one is responsible for Qibao five-flavor porridge, and the other is responsible for rich egg and lean meat porridge. The rest of the people are responsible for taking the steamed buns, and if the other party does not have the dishes and chopsticks, the remaining one is responsible for handing the dishes and chopsticks, and the dishes and chopsticks are also clearly divided.

Looking at everyone in line, they all held a bowl full of porridge in the end, holding a hot white steamed bun, and thanking them with a happy smile on their faces, Cao Yi and others were all happy. Cao Yi is Tan Yun who is responsible for delivering steamed buns, and every time he delivers steamed buns, he will also send a sweet smile, so that everyone who comes to receive food feels extra warm.

When Cao Yi had just distributed the food of the previous person, he found that there was a young man estimated to be only eleven or twelve years old in front of him, wearing patches and very thin clothes, and straw sandals with exposed toes on his feet. First bowed respectfully to Cao Yi and the others, stretched out his hands covered with frostbite and handed the broken bowl with a missing hole to the attacker, Cao Yi said with a smile: "Little brother, give me the bowl, I am here rich egg and lean porridge, you are the time to grow your body, it is still very good to eat more meat." ”

The young man licked his lips and said, "No, my sister said that she wants to eat red dates and longan, so I'd better choose Qibao five-flavor porridge!" He smiled as he spoke of his sister.

Cao Yi looked behind the young man, it was an older middle-aged man, and he didn't see the little girl, so he asked curiously. "Oh, what about your sister, why didn't you see it?"

The boy was silent for a while, as if he had a little self-reproach, and said, "It's too cold outside, she doesn't wear enough...... And I haven't eaten enough, and I don't have the strength to come ....... ”

Cao Yi was stunned for a while, took a breath and said: "Attacker, you give him Qibao five-flavor porridge, Musk Yue, you bring another bowl, Tanyun, you take a steamed bun for him!" ”

Cao

Yi took the empty bowl handed over by Musk Yue and filled it with a bowl full of rich egg and lean porridge, put it on the table, and said: "Drink it while it's hot, this bowl is yours, the steamed buns are also for you, and you can bring that bowl of Qibao five-flavor porridge to your sister later, rest assured, your sister's steamed buns will give you another one later, and it will be cold when you take it out now!" ”

The young man glanced at Cao Yi deeply this time, as if he wanted to remember Cao Yi's appearance, and bowed deeply again. took the steamed bun in Tan Yun's hand and stuffed it into his arms, then walked to the side and asked the people behind him to come up to receive the porridge, and he picked up the bowl full of rich eggs and lean porridge, drank it in a big gulp, and drank it after a while. Put the bowl into the wooden basin specially used to put dirty bowls, took the steamed bun for her sister from Tan Yun's hand again, and stuffed it into his arms, ready to take the Qibao five-flavor porridge served by Musk Yue.

Tan Yun's curious taste: "Why don't you eat steamed buns?" ”

The young man looked up and smiled shyly, and said, "Today's bowl is enough, I haven't eaten such a good thing for a long time, and the steamed buns are saved for tomorrow......"

Tan Yun almost exclaimed in surprise when he heard this, and hurriedly covered his mouth, looking at him with a complicated expression, and he couldn't bear it.

The young man bowed to Cao Yi and the others for the third time, "Thank you for giving porridge today, my name is Shantai Mingde, if you have the opportunity in the future, you will be rewarded!" After speaking, he planned to leave with the bowl of Qibao five-flavor porridge.

"Wait, little brother! I take the liberty to ask, besides Ling Mei, is there anyone else in the family? Cao Yi handed the porridge spoon to Musk Yue, and asked with his hands in fists at Shentai Mingde.

He shook his head and didn't speak.

Cao Yi asked again: "What are your plans for the future?" ”

Tantai Mingde glanced at Cao Yi deeply, and said in a calm tone: "I just want to let my sister live happily." ”

"......" Cao Yi's heart was shocked, and he didn't know how to answer for a while after hearing this sentence.

After a while, Cao Yi said to Tangtai Mingde: "Why don't you send the porridge to Sister Ling first, we still have free noodles here at noon, and then you bring Sister Ling over to eat, and we will talk about it in detail, how about you repay me for this matter?" ”

Yutai Mingde still didn't speak, nodded, and turned to leave......
