After some careful understanding, Shakru generally understood the local disaster relief process, first by the local officials to report, then the Indian central government allocated money, then the officials were all corrupt (100% embezzlement, not a penny was left for the victims), and finally the officials at all levels gave Mr. Wias a part of the benefit fee, and finally Mr. Wias took the money to the victims...... Many times this money is not enough, and he has to take some more money out himself.? In fact, he didn't have to take out this money, he just couldn't stand the disaster when he took it out.

Of course, there must be an element of Sang Yi's boasting in these words, but it should be about the same, although a big landlord like him has a lot of power in the local area, basically like a soil emperor, but he also has an obligation, that is, to maintain the stability of this village, otherwise the farmers will die, who will work for him? In addition, the farmers were taught new planting techniques, and occasionally had to make guest appearances as judges to deal with village affairs. The affairs between the women were handled by Mrs. Sang, who, of course, were in charge of her own farms, and the untouchables were loosely managed by witches.

After chatting for a while, it was lunch time unconsciously, although I was a little hungry after tossing all morning, but as soon as Shakru saw the cardamom water served, he immediately lost his appetite at all, this cardamom water is not used to eat, but used to wash his hands, but according to the rules of India, as long as the cardamom water is served on the table, it means that this meal must be pilaf, although Shakru has been to India for more than half a year, but he is still very uncomfortable with pilaf, Not only did he feel that this way of eating was unhygienic from the bottom of his heart, but the posture of only being able to use his right hand and having to put his left hand on his knee was also super unaccustomed to him, and he always felt that his left and right hands were not coordinated. (The left hand of the Indians is used for that or something, so you must not use the left hand to eat in front of the Indians.) ）

Because of this situation, Shakru ate a little casually, and then excused himself and said that he was a little tired today and wanted to go back to the room to sleep, after a while, Su Lan came in to clean up the house, and Shakru told her to boil some hot water for herself, and when Su Lan came back with boiling water, she began to brew noodles by herself, this is not that Shakru is diligent, but that Su Lan's little girl has never seen instant noodles, and when he brewed, she was still curious and asked: "Venerable Mr. Pandet, what are you doing here?" ”

Sha Keru said while busy: "Oh, this is instant noodles, that is, noodles that are very easy to make, soak them in hot water, and you can eat them in three minutes, well, I didn't eat too much just now, so I want to eat another bowl of noodles, by the way, I am not allowed to tell Mr. and Mrs. Sang Yi about this, otherwise it will be too rude." "Long before coming here, Shakru was prepared for this, he knew that he was not used to eating Indian food, so he prepared a lot of convenience food, but this kind of thing must not let Sang Yi know, people are so enthusiastic, it hurts too much to be so picky.

Unexpectedly, Su Lan blamed himself a little: "It's all wrong to blame Su Lan for this matter, Mr. Pandit, you must have left some leftovers for Su Lando, so you didn't eat enough." ”

Shakru said with a smile: "What is this, I didn't eat because I don't like to eat pilaf, it has nothing to do with you, by the way, were you full just now?" Do you want to try this Chinese Samadhi instant noodles, it's delicious! (By the way, the instant noodles in the name of China are actually Japanese products, which is really speechless.) ）

Su Lan waved his hand again and again: "No, no, Su Lan can't eat such valuable things." That's what she said, but she still couldn't help but secretly move her little nose to smell the aroma of instant noodles.

Seeing her like this, Shakru thought it was very funny, so he ran a bowl for her, pushed it in front of her, and said, "Now I order you to eat it." ”

After watching Su Lan gobble up a bowl of noodles, Sha Kelu asked funny, "How is it, Xiao Su Lan, is this instant noodle delicious?" ”

Su Lan nodded and said, "Well, it's delicious, it's delicious, it turns out that the noodles are so delicious when they're soft!" Then he frowned and said, "But I don't know why, it doesn't feel like it smells as good as it tastes." ”

Shakru said in his heart that it is for sure, instant noodles are like this, a person makes bowl noodles, and the aroma can arouse the appetite of everyone in a dormitory, but in fact, it is the same thing when you eat it in your mouth. (According to my irresponsible speculation, this is because they don't know how to use chopsticks, and the soup noodles can't be grasped by hand or served with a spoon, so they can't eat and can't make them.) ）

At this time, Shakru thought of something again, and then asked casually: "By the way, Su Lan, why didn't you go to school at such a young age and come to be a maid?" ”

"I want to go to school too, but I don't have any money."

"Isn't there a public school where you can go to school for free?"

"Tuition is free, but you also have to pay for accommodation, meals, and other expenses."

"Then you come out to serve as a maid, are your parents willing?"

Unexpectedly, Su Lan was very surprised and asked, "Why are you reluctant?" It's an honor for me to be a maid at Lord Wias's house. Not only can he be fed and clothed, earn wages to save a dowry for himself, but also because he was born in an old man's family, no one dares to bully him when he gets married. ”

"No, you still have to save up for your own dowry?" Shakru asked, incredulous.

Su Lan sighed and said: "This is also a matter of no choice, we have three girls in our family, so it is impossible to save enough dowry for each daughter, fortunately, Mrs. Sang Yi saw my poor family and accepted me as a maid, otherwise she would have to send me to the temple to be a goddess." (In India, a girl's dowry can almost wipe out the savings of an ordinary family, because without a bride there is no man at all to marry you, and the poorer the place, the more so, which is similar to marrying a wife in rural China.) ）

At this moment, Shakru was even more shocked: "No, there are also goddesses here?" ”

Su Lan nodded and said, "Well, yes, there are more than ten of them in the temple at the entrance of the village, but most of them are untouchable girls, and there are very few Shudra girls, Mr. Pandit, are you going to find them?" ”

Shakru waved his hand again and again: "No, no, I didn't mean to go to them, I'm not that kind of person!" ”
