Chapter 271: A Woman Who Is More Fierce Than a Servant
"Young Master, stand back."
A kind-looking old woman with a long spoon in her hand stirred the gruel in the cauldron.
The porridge is not white rice porridge, mixed with a lot of coarse grains, it looks a little thin, but you can see clear coarse grains in every spoonful, such porridge is already a peerless delicacy for people who can't eat for three days.
"I'll help you."
Qin Feng looked at the city gate again, but still didn't see the person he wanted to see, he suddenly turned around a little disappointed, and smiled at the woman: "Nurse, you have been busy all morning, your hands are already sore, let me help you stir it up."
"This porridge should be almost cooked."
"Almost."
The old woman looked at the giant steamer next to her and said, "The steamed buns are almost cooked, just steam them for a while."
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the little guy next to him and said, "Let's start lining up, it's still the same as before, each person has a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun."
"Okay."
The little guy went forward to shout, and the victims who had shrunk into a lifeless mass instantly came to life, lined up excitedly, and all their eyes stared at the two cauldrons and steamers in front of them.
Some of them looked at the cauldron and drooled, so they moved their minds to take advantage of the chaos to squeeze forward, and for a while the whole team was noisy, and the shouts of everyone and the cries of children were all mixed in it.
"Get out of here!"
A public servant rushed into the crowd with a fierce look, quickly pulled out a man in his twenties, and kicked him to the ground.
"Tell you to line up well, if you don't line up well, don't eat!"
"Other people still want to move their minds crookedly, they want to cut in line, they want to grab other people's share,
If you are found once, your share will be halved, you will be found twice, you will not want to come to eat again for a day today, if you are found three times, then you will never come, and if you come again, you will break your leg!"
As he spoke, he struck the young man with a stick, and the young man screamed and rolled on the ground.
"It's the second time you've come, don't come to get food today, stay here for me, and seeing that you're so energetic, you shouldn't have robbed someone else of food!"
The man hurriedly begged for mercy, "No, my lord, I definitely didn't rob anyone else of food, just spare me this time, if I don't eat for a day, I will definitely starve to death!"
"I see you won't starve to death without food for three days!"
The official said with a dark face, "Let me stay here well! You can't get any more food today, everyone else gives me a good look, and this is the end of being unruly! 「
When the others saw this, they immediately became a lot more honest.
It just so happened that at this time, Shen Youqiu walked out of the city, looking at this scene thoughtfully.
This young man looks like he has some strength, but now he can only follow these old, weak, sick and disabled people here to receive such a life-saving food, which is really sad.
Just thinking about it, Qin Feng seemed to have a sense, and suddenly when he turned around, he saw Shen Youqiu, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his face was happy.
"Miss Shen, are you really here?"
He couldn't even take care of the porridge now, he directly handed the spoon in his hand to the nurse, and he walked quickly towards Shen Youqiu.
"I'm about to start the soup kitchen, so it's just a good time for you to come." As he spoke, he noticed the basket that Shen Youqiu was holding in his arms, the basket was covered with layers of cloth, and it looked like the contents were piled up full.
"What did you bring?" He asked curiously, and took the things over, and after finding that the basket was still quite heavy, he frowned and said with concern, "How far have you carried this basket, your hands should be tired."
"I'm not tired."
Shen Youqiu shook his head, lifted the corner of the cloth on the basket, and said with a smile: "My family doesn't have much food, but I raise a lot of hens, so I specially saved eggs for a few days and sent them in today."
"But—" She looked at the people in the dark, some of them
Helplessly, he said, "I seem to be missing a little bit of eggs."
"It's okay."
Qin Feng smiled, "Eggs can be regarded as a tonic, it would be good to have so many, I think, why don't you give eggs to women who are breastfeeding, pregnant women, or people who are seriously ill."
"Okay." Shen Youqiu nodded, "It's still Qin Gongzi who thinks thoughtfully."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Shen Youqiu stepped forward and began to help divide the porridge, looking carefully, this porridge was full of some coarse grains, and it was mixed with a little dregs, which looked not too thin.
Although it is not nutritious, it is more satiety than ordinary gruel.
"Girl."
A middle-aged man with a yellow face and thin muscles looked at her flatteringly, holding a rice bowl in his hand, and kept swallowing saliva, Shen Youqiu didn't think much about it, and immediately began to serve them porridge.
After a while, a thin young woman came over with a bowl and prayed to Shen Youqiu very pitifully.
"Girl, can you make it thicker for me, I really don't have milk, my child is about to starve."
At this time, Shen Youqiu noticed that there was a baby tied with linen cloth behind her back, and the baby looked extremely thin, with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.
Shen Youqiu even suspected that the child might have died, but looking at the anxious mother in front of her, her eyes were red, she didn't say much, but filled a bowl of porridge, and then took out a still hot egg from the basket and handed it to her, saying, "This egg is only available to breastfeeding mothers, you quickly eat this egg."
The reason why she was urged to eat it quickly was because Shen Youqiu found that the eyes of other people were green when they saw the eggs. z.br>
The woman also knew that the eggs were easy to be robbed, so she didn't peel the eggs at all, and directly stuffed the whole egg into her mouth, swallowing it with difficulty, while vaguely grateful to Shen Youqiu.
A young man in the back couldn't wait to rush forward, squeezed the woman away at once, and looked at Shen Youqiu expectantly.
"Eggs, I want eggs too."
"Only pregnant or breastfeeding women are allowed to eat eggs." Shen Youqiu directly refused.
When the young man saw that there were no eggs, he immediately wanted to make trouble, pointing at Shen Youqiu's mouth and scolding.
"Why, why, you wicked woman, why don't you give me eggs to eat, I'm dying of hunger!"
As soon as he finished scolding, he directly stretched out his hand to grab the basket, and some people behind him were also ready to move when they saw his actions, and the whole team suddenly appeared in chaos.
But just as the young man's hand was about to touch the basket, Shen Youqiu suddenly picked up a rolling pin from the side at a speed that ordinary people couldn't see at all, and hit the back of the young man's hand mercilessly.
