Chapter 652: It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice
Long Qing thought for a long time, and finally nodded very reluctantly.
In the following days, in addition to necessary official duties, Long Xilin was with Angelica in the greenhouse every day.
And Long Qingqing, after some disguise, also followed Long Xilin and Angelica in the greenhouse.
He had a mustache on his upper lip, and in addition to that, he also had a lot of pockmarks on his face.
Anyway, I can't see his original appearance anymore.
Although he was very dissatisfied with his appearance after disguise, he was afraid of being discovered by King Changle, so he could only cooperate no matter how reluctant he was.
As for Long Xilin, every time he saw his pockmarked face, he was very happy and relieved.
Recently, there has been a great shortage of food in Anyi City, and many people have not had enough to eat, even those large families who have a little food in stock do not dare to eat with their stomachs open.
Among them, the most painful ones belong to those who have a little land, but their families are not rich enough.
Because they have land, the recruitment of workers by the government was not aimed at them before, and they did not have the government to manage three meals a day.
However, their land is not as good as that of large families, their land is less, in a good year, barely enough for a large family to fill their stomachs, and when this idea is this year, it is robbed by the robbers of Xiliang and Beimeng, and there is nothing left at all.
Thanks to the government's previous handouts, otherwise they would all starve to death.
But the amount of relief grain is limited, and they can't afford to buy rice in the grain and oil shops, so now is their hardest day.
Many people have already started to go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables, and even in the nearby mountains, they have dug up all the wild vegetables that can be eaten.
Fortunately, the sweet potato vines planted in the greenhouse grew well, and in less than two months, they were all over the ground.
So, on this day, Angelica asked Long Xilin to notify all families, send out a person, and gather at a place in the western suburbs.
And he specially instructed that the person who came should be a woman.
After all, she is going to teach those people to cook, many men in this era can't cook.
However, those common people were hungry and panicked, and when they heard the Duke of Yi summoning them, they immediately thought that the Duke of Yi was going to give them food, so every family, no matter how many people, came.
The dam in the western suburbs was crowded by them.
Long Xi was a little unhappy when he saw so many people coming, he clearly said that each family can only come to one, why are these people here.
You don't have to think about it, you know that you want to share the food.
The world is really greedy.
Long Xilin glanced at Kong Xun beside him, Kong Xun immediately stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "Fathers and fellow villagers, today is the lady who wants to teach you a method of anti-starvation food, every family, only one person who is in charge of the kitchen at home can be left, if there are too many people, we have no place to sit there, so let's discuss it, leave the person in charge of cooking at home, and the rest of the people go back, what should we do." ”
Someone shouted from below.
"I don't have any food at home, what food can I do?"
"That's right, it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, Yi Gong, please do it, send us some more food, so that we can survive this winter."
"How much food did the Duke of Yi send you before, you know that this is an extraordinary time, and you don't know how to save some food, but now that you have finished eating, you come to the Duke of Yi to ask for it, and the Duke of Yi is not a wealthy family, how can there be so much food to be sent to you."
