Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Nanyang Chapter 15 Steamed Bun Assembly 4

Although a few naughty boys were beaten by their respective parents, the speed of steaming buns was a little too slow, the big guy was hungry, watching others eat sweetly, the taste was really uncomfortable, so everyone began to quarrel again, and finally someone suddenly shouted: "Don't we have a steamer, why don't you use a steamer to steam the buns?" ”

The crowd was silent for a moment, and soon there was a lot of noise, and everyone began to discuss.

"Why didn't I think of a steamer, when we used to have a sacrificial event in Fuwang, didn't we all use a steamer to steam things?"

"If it weren't for the first time I saw Xie Wei Bao, I would have thought of the steamer a long time ago, everyone was hungry and waited for so long."

"If you want me to see, you can put fifty in one cage, let's steam twenty cages at a time, and then everyone will have one, isn't it beautiful!"

……

Wu Yong didn't expect that there would be steamers in the Han Dynasty, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, people at this time didn't know how to steam buns, what did they do with steamers?

After thinking for a while, I didn't have a clue, and at this moment, I saw six strong men in the distance carrying two large steamers and a steaming lid coming over, and the one who walked in front shouted loudly from a distance: "We went to the warehouse to look around, and there are only these two steamers left." ”

Someone here suddenly became reluctant and scolded: "Which dog is it again, take the steamer to dry things." If it's a normal time, forget it, today's rare day has made you losers who are sparse every day mess up. ”

As soon as his words fell, someone answered: "Li Hu, are you a pig brain, I saw your family using a steamer to dry moldy beans yesterday." ”

Li Hu suddenly jumped up and retorted as if he had been stepped on by someone's tail: "Impossible, my family wants to use a steamer to dry things, I will take them, and I worked in the field for a day yesterday......"

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked down by his father next to him, and angrily reprimanded: "Idiot, you talk too much, why don't you hurry home with your brother and get the steamer." ”

Then he apologized to everyone: "I'm sorry, everyone, my family was going to make sauce yesterday, and I temporarily borrowed a steamer, but I really didn't expect to use it today, I'm ashamed." ”

It is very common for everyone in the neighborhood to borrow something on weekdays, so no one cares, and some people even keep comforting him.

After a while, six large steamers were taken, and Wu Yong estimated: one layer of steamer can put about forty steamed buns, and the eight-layer steamer can steam more than 300 steamed buns at a time, and a household can almost be divided into three, which can basically meet the needs.

But a new problem arose, two bags of wheat were completely insufficient, and steaming so many buns at once, on his own, was really exhausting to death.

Wu Yong told his uncle Zhuo Wenxuan about the problem, Zhuo Wenxuan found Li Tiandian and Zhu Lidian, the three of them muttered for a while, Zhu Lidian walked to the high platform, coughed lightly, and waited for everyone's attention to come over, before he spoke: "Folks, Wu Yong's two dishes of Taixu food, you have seen it, this is a clear proof that we have the favor of the heavens in our refuge, I don't say much, today each family first has a bucket of wheat, and then obey Wu Yong's arrangement, I Zhu Yu hereby said: No matter how much is the difference today, it will be made up by my family." , we must let the men, women and children in our hope have a full meal to relieve their worries. ”

At this time, a bucket of wheat weighs about three catties, which is the ration of two meals a day for an adult man. Although Fuwangli has been established for a short time, the population of each family ranges from three to more than a dozen, and there are more than 200 adult men alone, which is enough to consume these 100 buckets of wheat, which means that the rations for the remaining 700 women, children and children have to be provided by Zhu Lidian.

Probably need a hundred buckets of wheat, everyone will still calculate this account, anyway, they don't suffer a loss, so everyone in the audience applauded.

Wu Yong on the side wanted to divide labor and cooperate, but found that although the number of people was enough, there were not so many tools on the scene.

He was thinking hard about countermeasures, but everyone in the audience was unhappy, and a young man shouted: "Wu Yong, have you committed hysteria again?" The big guys are waiting for your orders. ”

Wu Yong came back to his senses and explained with a wry smile: "It's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, we don't have so many grinding plates and basins here, and there is only one board, which is completely insufficient!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard the young man answer: "I see that you are just hysteria and not well, let's look back at who doesn't have these things, let the elders make the dough at home to relieve worries, and then bring it over and steam it." ”

Wu Yong wanted to refute: You are really smart, why don't you let them steam buns at home and come back after eating.

can see that everyone is as they should be, so that his thinking in the future generations can't help but be a little unable to react for a while: this good group activity is all operated at home, isn't it a troublemaker. Besides, how much dough can be produced from this bucket of wheat, the big guy doesn't count it in his heart, if there is a slippery head, stealing wheat, isn't this a deliberate attempt to make honest people suffer.

Wu Yong didn't speak here, and Zhu Lidian thought that he was thin-skinned and was said to be ashamed, so he had to stand up again and said: "Since everyone is not opposed, then let's do it, the heads of each household take a bucket of wheat here, go back and grind the dough together, let their daughters make dough to relieve their worries, and then come over together." ”

The audience applauded again, the women happily took their children and left first, and even the people who helped on the stage also left, leaving only the heads of the families gathered at the millstone, talking and laughing, while waiting for Li Tiandian to divide the wheat.

Wu Yong came back to his senses, but found his mother Guo Shi standing beside him looking at him with concern, so he asked in surprise, "Why did Mother come here?" ”

Guo Shi saw that his son did not have any abnormalities, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and comforted softly: "Just now your sister and I saw you below in a trance, your grandmother was worried about you, let me come over and take a look, they went home first, my son don't care about those bastard boys, they are jealous of you." ”

Wu Yong was a little embarrassed, he didn't pay attention to what happened just now, he just thought more according to the thinking of later generations, but he didn't expect to cause so many misunderstandings, so he hurriedly changed the topic, and asked with a reluctant smile: "Is mother waiting to receive wheat?" How do I look at the fact that there are not many people who receive wheat? ”

Guo Shi was really diverted, she glanced at the crowd at the grinding plate, and began to explain in a soft voice: "In the past few years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and no one is short of this bucket of rations. ”

After hearing these words, Wu Yongzhen was a little embarrassed, he was completely a villain's heart.
