Chapter 325: Soup kitchen

The news that the small courtyard where Ye Biqing lived had disaster relief money from the imperial court quickly spread in Taiyuan City, and even spread outside the city during the curfew in Taiyuan City.

Just waiting for the city gate to open, they pounced on the hungry wolves and tore the officials who were unwilling to take out the disaster relief camp in half at the first time, and some victims saw Ye Biqing's escort team on the way here, so this news was even more real.

The Sansi Yamen, as well as the prefect's yamen, also transported grain from various yamen and the palace overnight, put the grain into sacks, and piled it up in a grain shop closest to the Sansi Yamen.

As soon as the city gate opened early the next morning, the victims outside poured into the city with a roar, and the people in Taiyuan City also rolled up their arms and sleeves and rushed out of the house.

Under the deliberate control of the Sansi Yamen, these people and disaster victims surrounded the small courtyard rented by Ye Biqing, if it weren't for the Jinyi guards guarding outside, one by one, they were fierce and vicious, I was afraid that these disaster victims would rush in.

"Silver, silver, silver......"

I don't know who is leading the way in the crowd, and thousands of people and victims are angry, why are there only a few thousand people because the street can only accommodate this person, many of them have climbed trees and walls, and some have put on other people's houses and shouted loudly into the courtyard.

The three divisions of the yamen, the three adults, the prefect yamen, and the king of Jin, all sent people to hide in the crowd to watch the play, and they all wanted to see what else this Ye Biqing could do.

The people outside this door became more and more fierce, and at this moment, the door of the small courtyard rented by Ye Biqing finally opened.

A brocade guard came out, looked at the people and victims surrounded outside, and first hugged his fist at the people and the victims and said: "Fathers and fellow villagers, please don't worry, my family has already opened a porridge shed in the courtyard, please let go first, let go of a vacant land, let's take out the pot, firewood, take out the food, let everyone eat today!" ”

In normal times, these people and disaster victims would definitely be vying for money, but when is it? Now everyone is hungry, what kind of silver do you want, that thing can't be eaten, as soon as they heard that a porridge shack is going to be opened, these people and the victims of the disaster instantly cheered, and the original firm position was also dismantled at once, and the matter of silver has long been forgotten without a trace.

And the first reaction of the few eyeliners present when they heard that this official of the brocade guard was going to open a porridge shed here, was that this kid was definitely bragging.

With so many people present, there are not tens of thousands but thousands, even if you open a porridge shed, where does your food come from? Where does the pot come from, and where does the firewood come from?

But the next scene made their jaws drop, only to see that there were Jinyi guards who kept holding firewood and brought two cauldrons, and brought a lot of broken bricks, and built the bricks in front of the people, built two simple stoves, put the two cauldrons on them, lit the firewood, and then the main event.

I saw that there was a brocade guard, carrying a bucket and filling the two cauldrons with water, and then a brocade guard carried several sacks of grain, walked out and put it on the ground, picked up the gourd scoop and put the grain in the pot.

The pot of firewood burned was boiled after a while, and the fragrance of rice came from a burst, and under the Jinyi guard to maintain order on the scene, the people spontaneously lined up in front of the two cauldrons.

After another half an hour, the porridge was finally cooked, the pot was open and steaming gradually drifted away, and then I saw that the white porridge in the pot exuded an attractive luster, Jin Yiwei shook it in the pot with a big spoon, and shook it, and the sticky rice porridge provoked those victims who had not eaten enough for several days drooled.

Such a sticky rice porridge, this is a long time since I have seen it, the people and the victims are very happy, the only people who are unhappy are those eyeliner.

They still have a little hope in their hearts, hoping that this Jinyiwei is acting, not really giving porridge, but when Jinyiwei really scooped the sticky porridge into the bowl of the victims, and waited until the first people drank the porridge, they realized that this Jinyiwei official was real.

A few eyeliners hurriedly went back to report the news, as soon as King Jin heard that the Jinyi Wei official, he really dared to give porridge, although he didn't understand where he came from, but listening to what the people below said about how viscous this porridge is, he usually can't drink such sticky porridge at home, and His Royal Highness King Jin's face turned green.

"Okay, no wonder he said that he had bought food in other places before, and he used it for now, okay, isn't he willing to eat porridge for those disaster victims? Let him give him porridge, and the king will see how much grain they have. ”

"Call all the subordinates of our palace not to be idle and go to eat porridge, there is no such cheapness!"

In this way, the people who came to eat porridge lasted all day, and the dozens of bags of grain brought by Ye Biqing fell to the ground like rain, and as soon as the sacks were opened, they were all gone, without a trace.

The soup porridge lasted until the evening, the sun had set, it was too late, and Jinyiwei sent another person.

"Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, fellow villagers, it's too late today, we also made porridge for a day, it's really tired, everyone can come again tomorrow!"

"Our Lord Ye said, it won't be long before more grain will be transported to Taiyuan, and all the disaster relief silver issued by the imperial court this time will be used to buy grain and seeds for cultivation in the coming year, please believe that in a few days, there will be a bill for the disaster relief silver tael posted here, please supervise it!"

After hearing this, the people applauded again and again, and applauded all over the mountains, although there was no porridge to eat, but the people were still unwilling to disperse for a long time.

In the courtyard, Ye Biqing sat on the chair leisurely, listening to the cheers of the people outside, she smiled happily, this feeling is a bit like the sense of accomplishment after the bandits robbed the rich and helped the poor.

Jin'er played the pipa on the side, and Jin'er said with some concern.

"Sister, the food she bought this time is basically all eaten, and now there are only a few empty bags left, what if those people and victims come to eat porridge tomorrow?"
