Chapter 236 Soup kitchen
Wang Da listened to the order and hurriedly ran out to prepare.
Soon, the porridge Peng on the side of the breakfast shop had been set up, and when I heard that porridge could also be used here, many victims quickly gathered around.
Fortunately, these victims are all women and children, and there is nothing to make trouble, at first Mu Xiulian was worried that something would happen to Chen Youyi, afraid that she would be tired.
But when I saw how pitiful these victims were, especially when I saw those children looking at me pitifully, so hungry that only skin and bones remained, my heart softened.
Later, she even gave porridge to these victims herself.
At present, there are two main soup kitchens in the town, one is the Yamen side, and the other is the breakfast shop.
Originally, I thought that if I persisted in this matter, I would be able to get over, but I didn't expect that the number of victims in the town would become more and more.
By the time the porridge was given on the third day, Chen Youyi's two bags of rice had already been ejaculated, but there were still many victims who had not eaten, and they were standing here looking at Chen Youyi with their eyes blank, their lips were dry and their eyes were empty.
She sympathized in her heart, there was really no other way, and all the rice that could be taken out at present had been taken out, but it was still not enough.
"You go back today, hold on for one night, and we'll continue to cook here early tomorrow morning, and then you can come back then."
Those ordinary people listened to Chen Youyi's words, but they were reluctant to leave, and several children were lying in their mother's arms crying to eat, but there was really nothing at all.
Chen Youyi glanced at the pot, and there was not even a grain of rice left, but there were still dozens of people in front of him who had not eaten.
She turned around and left Congee Peng and returned to the breakfast shop, and immediately instructed Wang Da, "You go to the restaurant, just say what I said, call three or five guys to come over, and let them help Congee Peng here." In addition, you told the shopkeeper in the restaurant to ask him to open a porridge shed in the restaurant, and the specific amount of money spent will be recorded in my account. ”
Wang Da nodded and hurriedly ran out, and Mu Xiulian on the side sighed slightly, "Fortunately, we have Wang Da waiting by our side, if we don't have him, we don't know what to do with many things." ”
Chen Youyi naturally knew that Wang Da had done a lot of things, "Don't worry, mother, I won't treat him badly, and after this matter passes, I will reward him with something to make his life better." ”
When Wang Da returned to the breakfast shop, it was so dark that he couldn't see his five fingers, and even his sister-in-law hurriedly said as soon as he entered the door, "Qin Niangzi said that if you want to come back, you will eat first, and when you finish eating, you will go to her house to reply, and she is not in a hurry and is waiting for you." ”
He hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of food, then came to Chen Youyi, stood outside the door and said, "Qin Niangzi, I have already made it clear to the shopkeeper over there what you wanted." Tomorrow they will send a few young men to help, and the shopkeeper has said that they will open a porridge shed as you instructed. ”
"Is there anything else? What is the current situation of the victims in the town? ”
"I can't see anything at the moment, the gates of the town are closed, and he can't get in even if there are other victims. We'll have to wait until tomorrow. Wang Da replied truthfully.
"That's okay, you go and rest early, I've worked hard for you in the past few days, and I will definitely treat you well in the next few days." You have to get up early tomorrow, so you can rest first. ”
Wang Da went back to the house to rest, and Chen Youyi also went to sit in the house tossing and turning, I don't know if it was because I saw too many victims today, or because I was too tired, until late at night, I fell asleep.
woke up early the next morning, woke Xiaoxue up, and asked her to call Wang Da and Sister-in-law Lin, "Let the old lady sleep for a while, you call the two of them up and start preparing for the soup kitchen." ”
When they got up and were packing up their things, the four young men from the restaurant also rushed over, and Chen Youyi personally commanded them to move things, and almost everything was done by himself, watching it himself.
With more people, I can get things done much faster than I did yesterday.
She prepared twice as much rice as yesterday and planned to make it porridge for everyone, but she didn't expect that more people would come today than yesterday.
It wasn't until a busy day that all the porridge was given out, and some people were not full, although there were fewer people than yesterday, but the rice used today was twice as much as yesterday.
Chen Youyi was sad all day, originally thought that if you helped, at least the victims here would be able to eat, but she didn't expect that her strength was still too small.
Moreover, all the homes of these victims have been washed away, and they have lost their homes, and it is not known when it will be over.
"Wang Da also bothered you to go and ask the restaurant to see how the soup kitchen was doing. Then the rest of the people will clean up here, and we will continue the soup tomorrow. ”
Wang Da frowned after eating a meal of porridge, "Qin Niangzi, I know that you are kind-hearted and want to help these ordinary people." But we can help in a day or two, but after a long time, there are so many people, and we can't help it. Now so many victims have poured in, which has also affected the business of the restaurant, and there are so many porridges every day, even if there is more money, it can't fill this bottomless pit. ”
I have to say that Wang Da did have his reasons for thinking about it, and Chen Youyi slowly realized this in the process of soup soup in the past few days.
His own strength is too small, "You go first, I'll think about this matter later." ”
When Wang Da came back, he also brought back a piece of good news, "Master Zhang also knew about the things in the town, and what he said to the people at the restaurant was that he would also open a porridge shack in his name, so that the victims could eat more." ”
"This Master Zhang is a kind person." Chen Youyi's heart eased a little, it would be great to have some rich and noble people come out to help these victims, but she felt that this matter was always a palliative rather than a cure.
The victims don't know how long they'll be here, so they can't stay here forever and give them porridge all the time. In that case, after a long time, even the gold and silver mountains will be empty.
So we have to think of other ways to solve this problem.
She asked Wang Da to go to rest early, while she lay on the bed and thought about how to completely solve the problem of the victims.
Early in the morning of the second day, Chen Youyi got up and handed over the matter of soup porridge to Wang Da, and he took Xiaoxue to Xu Linfeng.
Hearing that Chen Youyi was visiting, Xu Linfeng immediately asked her to come in, "Are you here today for the sake of the victims in the town?" I've heard that you've added a porridge shack as well. ”
