The heavy snow finally stopped after a day and a night, but fortunately it was not too serious, but many of the houses of farmers in the suburbs were also crushed, leaving them homeless, and the people of the Yamen placed them in the temple for a while.

Many of the farmer's houses here are thatched houses, and it is not very good to shelter from the wind and rain in the hot summer and cold in winter, but this kind of house is very cheap, but the quality is very bad, the thatch is just pasted with mud, thin like a wooden plank, and it can't withstand the wind and rain at all.

It is not surprising that such a heavy snow is naturally crushed if it is a little thicker.

Cui Hao took people to see that there were not many people, there were about a dozen households, and they were not too far from Huangzhuang.

I discussed with the yamen to see if those people were willing to come to the Huangzhuang to work and sign a one-year contract, not to be slaves, and to go home to build a house after saving enough money.

Many farmers are willing to do it, knowing that Huangzhuang has changed people, not the previous peeling, and they are all rushing to do it.

Cui Hao asked the steward to register, the family did the best, it was easy to manage, but it solved more than a dozen households, but if it was too far, it could only be solved by the yamen, and it was impossible for one person to solve so many people.

Cui Hao has been busy with the people from the military department and the yamen, and he is outside all day, and sometimes he doesn't have time to eat.

Why can't you give them money to build a house, no?

This is the emperor's people, and there are already people from the yamen arranging it, and if others interfere in painting snakes, it will make people think that the emperor is unkind.

Even if we do good deeds, we must pay attention to ways and means, and if we do something wrong, we will harm others and ourselves, and we must not kill those innocent people.

Zilan prepared some cakes for Cui Hao, using milk and eggs and noodles, which were crispy and delicious, and also brought some small pickles to eat.

You can't even bring Mo Ding with such official duties, and you can't stand the sin if others can endure hardships, what do people think of the Cui family.

I also installed a big water bladder, boiled hot water at home in advance and poured it in, so as not to drink cold water and make my stomach trouble, and deliberately put some spiritual liquid into it, staying outside for a day on such a cold day, it is really easy to get wind chill, so you still have to be careful.

Fortunately, the clothes and boots were made in advance, otherwise it would have been really frozen.

Although the heavy snow has stopped, there is still light snow every two or three days. Cui Hao and Cui Rong and other gentlemen all went out early and returned late, and even the old lady entered the palace several times.

Zilan, Li and the others couldn't do anything else, so they could only keep trying to keep them warm, and they were just bringing some food and drink.

For half a month, I was busy outside about the damage to the farmers, and I had to go down to see if the fields were frost damaged, which would affect the next year's harvest.

When she came back very late at night, Zilan asked people to boil ginger soup and put it at the gate of the city, so that the guards guarding the gate and the yamen who were busy with errands could drink a bowl to go to the cold.

Every day, people will boil several buckets, and the charcoal will be kept warm in the past, and the best charcoal fire is not needed in the open air, and the cheapest charcoal fire is enough to make a rack and put the pot.

Cui Hao came back and said to her, "Thanks to your good method, there is ginger soup in several places in the city, and we can drink a bowl if we can't stand it, otherwise those people will freeze." “

"What about you, are you cold? You can't bring some hot water, it's not good to be too different from others, otherwise you will be isolated. ”

Zilan sighed, you can't be too different between colleagues, this is a simple common sense, otherwise others will not get close to you at all, let alone come and go.

"I don't care, it's really not cold, you dress me thickly, it's not cold at all from head to toe, don't worry about me."

"That's good, I sent a big piece to my sister-in-law to my eldest brother, I was afraid that this day would freeze people, so I made the decision to send one."

"It's okay, I see my eldest brother is wearing it."

Zilan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the Li family still feels sorry for her grandfather, and she didn't think about it so much, otherwise she would be embarrassed.

If you get a cold here, you will really die, and after thinking about it for a long time, I still sent a mink fur to the Li family, in case something happened, it would be too late.

Li Shi looked good, and he didn't have mink to make such a long meal, so he sewed a cover and put it on Cui Rong, and when he came back, he said that it was very warm, and she knew that it was a good thing.

Things were busy outside, and the old lady wanted to come back, but she was stopped by her son and others, and let her rest in the grange with peace of mind, it was still early for the New Year, and she would just pick her up when the time came.

Originally, Cui Hao said that he sent Zilan to the Grange to recuperate, and there was nothing at home for her to go to the Grange to be more comfortable.

But Zilan shook her head and refused to go, the family was busy, the Jiang family and the Li family alone were already too busy, she couldn't do anything else, but it was still okay to use her mouth to worry about dim sum, and she insisted on refusing to go, and Cui Hao couldn't do anything about her.

Every day, Zilan Zhang Luo asked people to boil mutton bone soup and put medicinal herbs to prevent cold and wind evil, and put them in the porter pantry of the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard respectively, and the minions who came and went could drink a bowl to ward off the cold.

I also put ginger soup and other hot soups for everyone to drink, for fear that everyone would get sick.

Jiang's housekeeper has a very good set, and as soon as the weather is cold, he will give the whole house equal benefits for the clothes and shoes of the season.

Because of the snow, the price of many things has risen, and the farm sends people to eat dried vegetables, fish and shrimp once every half a month, including firewood, especially this, the price of firewood and charcoal on the market has already risen.

Cui Fu uses a lot of charcoal because it needs porridge, even if it doesn't need a good charcoal fire in the open air, but it also needs an ordinary one.

The charcoal is already very nervous, but the weather is so cold, since it is done, you can't stop, otherwise all the hard work will be in vain.

There was a lot of charcoal in her space, but she couldn't get it out if she couldn't leave Cui's mansion.

Fortunately, the steward of Huangzhuang came to send something again, this time in addition to food, he sent one more thing, firewood and charcoal, all of which are ordinary kind of smoky charcoal fire, and now such a big snow has long closed the road, and this kind of charcoal is very precious.

"Lan'er, it's still your steward who is smart and can work, this can solve a big trouble, and someone came to reward a few people who delivered the goods with two taels of silver."

Jiang was so happy, the firewood and charcoal at home were almost insufficient, and there was a fire inside and outside the house in winter, so how could he do without charcoal.

"I'm worried about this, I didn't expect him to send it, you go back and say, the big and small stewards will double the bonus at the end of the year, worry about me, your good is indispensable, there are red envelopes for the New Year."

Zilan also happily rewarded the person who returned the gift.

"Thank you grandma, I also sent some dried fish and dried vegetables, I'm afraid that grandma will be inconvenient to go out of the city."

"Okay, Agarwood rewarded them, they came from afar so cold, they can't go back empty-handed, let them eat and drink enough before leaving."

"Yes."

Because the Huangzhuang is built by the royal family, there are a lot of flowers and trees, so there will be a lot of charcoal fire left before the cold, and the more can not be used up, he has a hot spring, and the hot water is also ready-made, and the extra firewood and charcoal steward will send it over, and the whole two large cars of firewood and charcoal will solve the big problem.
