Chapter 44: Soup kitchen

At noon, the porridge of every household was boiled.

Qin Xi looked at the porridge with patches of green kelp floating, smelling a faint fragrance of kelp and the smell of seawater, and he wanted to eat a bowl!

It's just that the people in line don't think so, they are all poor people, they can't eat meat all year round, and the most eaten is wild vegetable porridge!

They saw a big vat of green porridge, and some of them had green faces!

Some people turn around and leave!

Some people even can't help but curse in a low voice as they leave: "What the hell? It turned out to be wild vegetable porridge? If you are so rich, you will give wild vegetable porridge? Don't want to put meat? ”

"Phew! It's not that the Qin family is the richest family of benevolence! What kind of porridge is this? ”

"Let's take a walk and see the porridge shacks of other houses! Bai waited for a long time! ”

"Is this when we are pigs, or refugees? Is it embarrassing to take out such porridge? ”

……

Many people scolded and walked away!

At this time, a grateful voice came from the opposite side: "Thank you, madam, Miss Duowho!" This bowl of meat is more than I've ever eaten in my life! Thank you, Madame, Miss! ”

"Mrs. Xu and Miss Xu are really good people! This porridge is almost like dry rice! Solid enough! O truly great good man! ”

……

Then, more people queuing up in Qin Xi's porridge shed heard it and instantly ran to the opposite side!

The Xu family's porridge was particularly viscous because of Xu Moyan's strong request.

When a large bucket of sticky porridge with minced meat and a large bowl of white-flour steamed buns are placed on the table, it is indeed quite attractive.

In an instant, the Xu family's porridge shed was crowded with people!

The two porridge shacks are overcrowded, and there are only a few people queuing up in one room, so the contrast should not be too obvious!

Xu Moyan saw that the people in line at the Qin family on the opposite side ran over, and scolded wild vegetable porridge or something like that.

The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she couldn't help but tilt her head, standing on tiptoe to see Qin Xi's reaction on the other side.

If Xiao Xuanxuan was here now, seeing this scene, I don't know what she would think?

Does he regret not choosing himself?

Qin Xi was not embarrassed in the face of more than half of the people who ran away at once.

She is doing charity at the moment, not business, does she still need to beg them to eat her own porridge?

Fu's expression was embarrassed, she was worried that Qin Xi would be unhappy, after all, her daughter had encountered this kind of thing in the first soup kitchen.

"Xi'er, don't worry about it, those people don't know that we also have dried shrimp and shredded meat in our porridge, and this is kelp, not wild vegetables, they think it's wild vegetables!" Fu Shi stirred the porridge in the wooden bucket with a spoon, trying to expose the dried shrimp and shredded meat inside.

Qin Xi comforted: "Mother, it's okay, people who are really hungry will come." ”

Love to eat or not, and their family doesn't owe them anything!

I don't think so! Such people are gone, and it is better to leave them to those who really need them!

People who are really hungry, how can they have the strength to queue everywhere?

But whoever knows how to be grateful, how can he be disgusted with this and that, and still say such things?

Qin Tingyun nodded: "Xi'er is right, we set up a shed to help some people who are really in need. If you're not hungry, go and line up to eat faster! ”

All of a sudden, the people in front ran out, and a middle-aged man dragged one leg and held two bowls, limping forward excitedly: "Madam, Miss, can you give me two bowls of porridge?" My lady was happy, but the child was sick, and they sat there and didn't come. Can I help them get a bowl? ”

The man pointed to a mother and son on the side of the road.

Fu Shi smiled: "You can!" ”

As she spoke, she took the other party's bowl herself.

Qin Xi turned his head to look in the direction of his finger, only to see a woman who was all thin, with only a bulging belly, holding her stomach and leaning on a boy who was also skinny.

"Is your lady okay?" Qin Xi asked.

The man said, "It's okay, my wife is too hungry and a little dizzy." ”

Fu Shi filled him with two bowls of hot porridge.

Qin Xi said: "The ground is cold, you can help your lady to come over and sit in the back of the shed to eat." You can get another bowl for your child, and each person can get one bowl. ”

"Thank you, ma'am, thank you, girl! Thank you......" The man held two bowls of hot porridge, dragged one leg, and thanked him repeatedly, Don't go to his wife and children.

……

There were also some hungry people who didn't leave and continued to come forward to receive the porridge, and Qin Xi and Fu Shi got busy.

When the emperor took the crown prince, the king of Chu, the king of Jin and other princes and grandsons to inspect it, he saw the Xu family's porridge shed full of people, and the people who squeezed out of it were holding a big bowl of sticky meat porridge, holding a big steamed bun, and smiling!

"Whose porridge shack is that?"

When Gonggong Li heard this, he immediately motioned for someone to check it out.

Soon a guard ran over to investigate.

It didn't take long for the inquirer to come back: "Back to my lord, it was the family members of the Xu University Scholar's Mansion who were giving porridge, I heard from the people over there that their porridge was the most viscous, and the steamed buns were big and sweet!" The little one also heard that this was Miss Xu's idea. Everyone is praising Miss Xu's kindness! ”

Hubu Shangshu glanced at it and replied, "That's indeed the female dependant of the Xu University Scholar's Mansion." Wei Chen saw Mrs. Xu and Miss Xu Er being serving porridge. ”

"Not bad!" The emperor nodded with satisfaction.

When the prince heard this, he smiled and said: "Father, the emperor has a unique vision, and he has found a kind-hearted and famous princess for Juntai!" You're in luck! ”

The prince of Chu looked at the shadow in the distance, and the corners of his mouth rose: "It's the emperor's grandfather's love!" ”

Xu Moyan is a well-known talented woman in Beijing, and the Xu family has a high reputation in the hearts of scholars, and he is indeed very satisfied with this family business.

At least compared to Xiao Xuanxuan's family affairs, he is really satisfied!

On the same day, the emperor's grandfather gave him a talented girl who was the head of the Qing Dynasty, and her gestures were all talented!

It was given to Xiao Xuanxuan by the daughter of a merchant, who was covered in copper stench.

Can he not be satisfied?

He subconsciously glanced at Xiao Xuanxuan beside him.

Xiao Xuanxuan was looking around at the people around him, and when he noticed the gaze of the prince of Chu, he turned his head to look at him.

The prince of Chu said with a smile: "Is Brother Xuan looking for Miss Qin?" ”

"It's not." Xiao Xuanxuan replied coldly, and continued to pay attention to the people around her.

Xiao Xuanxuan was accustomed to having an indifferent face, full of murderous awe, and he couldn't see joy or anger, and the prince of Chu didn't know what his mood was at the moment!

But it should be terrible!

The eldest son of the crown prince, the first of the imperial grandsons to be named the king of the county by virtue of the noble eldest grandson, the king of Xiangjun, thought that Xiao Xuanxuan was also given marriage, he smiled and said: "The marriage of the imperial grandfather is the most suitable." I heard that the princess of the county who has not passed through the door is a first-class beauty, I wonder if she came to give porridge today? I think the porridge and steamed buns of the Qin family should be better. ”

Everyone knows that the Qin family is extremely rich, and the wealth is rivaled by the country, if the Qin family's porridge can't even compare to the noble Xu family, isn't it because of the rich?

Originally, he was a little uncomfortable when his grandfather named Xiao Xuanxuan as the king of Junjun, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty thought that he was the first person among the emperor's grandsons!

But the emperor's grandfather arranged for him a merchant girl to be the princess of the county, and he felt a little more comfortable!

The emperor's grandfather still values him more, otherwise he would not deliberately arrange such an inferior family affair for Xiao Xuanxuan, isn't this suppressing him?

The emperor thought of Qin Xi and said with a smile: "Where is the Qin family's porridge shed?" Let's check it out! ”

"The Qin family's porridge shed is there!" Xiao Junhuan pointed to the porridge shed with the least people and said loudly.
