The next day, the weather was still hot.

When I woke up early, there was not even a trace of wind in the air, and occasionally a wisp of fresh breeze drifted in, all of which were full of heat.

When the sun rises, the air is even drier, and I am afraid that if I give some sparks, it will crackle and burn.

Xiao Nianzhi was woken up by the heat in the morning, got up and took a shower in the delicious kitchen, and washed off the hot sweat all over his body, which was barely comfortable.

Such a day......

Xiao Nian closed his eyes, got up, and began to clean up again.

Summer clothes are mainly light gauze, but it is impossible to really directly transparent tulle.

Therefore, there are three layers inside and three layers outside, and a little toss is a sweat.

Xiao Nianzhi got up early and cleaned up briefly with Xu Miaoniang, and then waited for news from outside.

Lord Lou still hasn't come back, and they haven't sent anyone back to deliver any news.

However, there were many people who went, and Xiao Nianzhi was not worried.

What is the situation outside the city today, they are not sure, they still need to wait and see.

Before noon, someone came to report that many homeless people had appeared outside the city.

At this time, it is impossible to enter the city.

After all, the situation is different everywhere.

No one knows if these people have bacteria or viruses on their bodies.

Moreover, it really poured into the city, and the security in the city was also a problem.

Fortunately, all kinds of shacks outside the city have been set up yesterday.

Today, Xiao Nianweaving and they need soup porridge, but the multigrain porridge is far from enough.

Because, the weather is too hot, and the shelter ability of the shack is very limited.

Therefore, mung bean soup for summer vacation is also needed.

It's best to boil some herbs.

Like honeysuckle water, or ten drops of water.

Of course, honeysuckle water is the easiest to handle.

Moreover, the cost of this medicinal material is not high, and if it is just prevented, it is enough for displaced people.

So, for the time being, use honeysuckle first, and if the situation is not good, then look at other prescriptions.

After everyone finalized the plan, Xiao Nianzhi and Xu Miaoniang began to organize porridge outside the city and boil mung bean water.

This kind of cooking in a big pot doesn't require any cooking skills, as long as it is affordable.

In particular, mung bean water should be served from morning to afternoon to avoid the possibility of heat stroke.

The people originally lived in makeshift shacks, and if they couldn't escape the heat, it was very likely that they would fall down from heat stroke.

Xiao Nianzhi and Xu Miaomiao, one is in charge of porridge and the other is in charge of mung bean soup.

These people who crowded outside the city, let alone bowls, now have nothing but this ragged one.

So, what if you don't have a bowl?

It can only be Xiao Nianweaving who thinks of a way on their side.

Fortunately, in previous years, there have been such disasters, but in the past ten years, it has not been as serious as this year.

Therefore, there are still a lot of spare parts here in Fuzhou.

Some of them are worn out and can no longer be used.

But most of the dishes and chopsticks can still be used.

In addition to porcelain bowls, there are many sturdy wooden bowls.

Because it was stored properly, it didn't rot, and now it can be taken out and used after a little shabu-shabu.

Moreover, wooden bowls are stronger and safer than porcelain bowls.

With Xu Miaoniang helping in the middle, Xiao Nianzhi's work progressed very smoothly.

If there is something, tell Xu Miaoniang directly, she can always think of a way, or find a way out.

The people who had crowded outside the city were still very worried.

Even if they knew that their Lord Xu was a good official.

However, there are so many villages affected by the disaster this time, and so many displaced people, Xu Zhifu ......

Can it hold up?

Even if they heard about it, the imperial court sent someone over.

But, is it reliable?

Didn't it say in the play, most of the people sent by the imperial court were fooling people and going through the motions, and many corrupt officials who only knew how to eat and drink didn't care about the life or death of their people.

Everyone was nervous, but there was nowhere to go.

However, after arriving outside the city, I found that a lot of shacks had been built around the city wall, even if it was simpler, but it was already very good for the people who had no home.

At least, there is a place to stay for the time being.

Everyone gathers in twos and threes at home or clan to settle down.

The servants who defended the city did not mean to drive them away, and they looked laissez-faire about their behavior.

"Thank you, Lord Xu!"

"Master Xu, you're a good official!"

……

They don't know anyone else, they only know that Xu Zhifu is a good one, and at this time, they are excited and shouting and kowtowing.

Many people settled down temporarily, and some even went back to find their relatives and the like.

There is a place to stay outside the city for the time being, and Lord Xu will not drive them away, so he will stay for the time being.

The court sent someone over, and they took a look first.

The people always felt that the court might not care whether they lived or died.

But, at least Lord Xu will take care of it, right?

The people in the vicinity got the news and rushed over in waves.

The weather is getting hotter, and everyone is quite worried.

Some people have water on the road, don't worry about whether it's clean or not, it's good to have water to drink, at least don't die of thirst in this ghost weather.

Some, walking in a hurry, don't pay attention to these.

Now they sat there one by one, their eyes numb licking their drier lips.

Many people think that sitting and waiting is not an option, and they are already thinking of a way to see if they can go to the neighborhood to find water.

Town?

That's impossible.

Although the miscellaneous servants guarding the city said that they did not drive them away, someone had already asked them just now, and they could not enter the city.

The people also knew that as they were, they were disgusted to go into the city.

Maybe you will be chased by people and chased by dogs.

It's better to nest outside the city.

When everyone was restless, Xiao Nianzhi and Xu Miaoniang's soup kitchen team came over.

The cauldron has actually been propped up, and some people secretly look forward to it, but more people still don't have much hope.

However, when the pot was hot and the rice fragrance wafted over, everyone couldn't help but put their longing eyes over.

Thirsty, hungry, uncomfortable.

Many of the children even cried uncontrollably.

The more times like this, the more enticing this rice fragrance becomes.

However, Xiao Nianzhi and Xu Miaoniang were accompanied by a lot of guards.

At this time, if there is no escort to follow, just two little girls, facing the hungry and red-eyed people, maybe both of them can be thrown into the pot to cook.

Xiao Nianzhi would not be so naïve to put the guards aside, thinking that he could do it alone.

Xu Miaoniang will not be able to.

This girl has a sense of precocious wisdom all over her body.

Rice porridge is boiled with grains, only a small amount of rice, more millet, crushed corn and various bean crumbles.

Put together, boiled and drunk, compared with dry rice, it is easier to digest, but in fact, the feeling of satiety is still quite strong, and because of the addition of cereals, the anti-hunger time will be longer.

Xiao Nianzhi's mung bean soup over there is even simpler.

It's really just mung beans in the pot to boil, and there is no sugar.
