Chapter 275 Jiang Liuer (six more)
"Babies?" Master Lu hurriedly said, "Let them in quickly, it's so cold outside!"

Master Lu was full of doubts, what happened to the baby?

"Yes!" The guard bowed his hands and retreated, and invited Ye Sanniang and the others to the second hall.

Ye Sanniang blessed Lord Lu with the baby in her arms and said, "Women pay their respects to Lord Lu."

The two brothers Ye Yanxing also bowed their hands together to salute Mr. Lu.

"Get up and sit." Master Lu pointed to the official hat chair on his left, pointed to the brazier in the center of the lobby, and said, "Pull the brazier towards you." Looking at Ye Yanxing, he said, "You can do it! "

Ye Yanxing cupped her hands and said, "Yes."

There were tongs next to the brazier, and after a few more pokes, the brazier approached Ye Sanniang.

"Ye Sanniang, tell me! What's the matter with the baby in your arms?" Master Lu looked at her with great interest and said.

"The women picked it up in the baby tower." Ye Sanniang said, holding the baby and looking at him.

"Girl." Master Lu sat up straight and said without thinking.

Ye Sanniang's dark eyes flickered slightly, "It seems that Mr. Lu also knows about the baby tower."

"Know more." Lord Lu looked at her deeply and said, "Abandoned babies are not only unique to the north, but also to the south. Conscientious parents put their newborn babies in wooden basins and float down the river. "

"Jiang Liu'er." Ye Sanniang said, looking at Master Lu with her raised eyebrows.

This reminded her of Tang Seng in Journey to the West, but he is not an abandoned baby!

"It can also be said that there is a slight chance of survival." Lord Lu looked at her with dark eyes and said.

"Can I talk?" Ye Luoxing stood up and cupped his hands.

"Yes!" Lord Lu said, looking at Ye Luoxing gently.

"Aren't you afraid that the wooden basin will leak and drown the child?" Ye Luoxing said, looking at Master Lu with doubtful eyes.

"It's the same as putting them in a baby tower. I hope that kind-hearted people will take away the children, but usually more are brought in and fewer are taken away." Master Lu looked at them dimly and said, "It's more in the wooden basin. Put water on it, and then drown a newborn baby in the basin, this is called drowning." He said again with deep sorrow, "Wooden basins are also very expensive for ordinary people."

Ye Sanniang hugged the baby tightly. The wooden basin needs to be hooped with iron rings, and not any wood can be used to hold water. This hooping of basins and barrels is a craft that can make money.

Wooden basins are not cheap, and there are wooden basins in the wedding dowry.

With the current productivity, a big tub may be more important than an abandoned baby in the eyes of poor parents.

To put it bluntly, those who really use wooden tubs to abandon babies are people who have a little spare money to give themselves a step up. They don't care about raising babies, and they don't want to kill babies, so they finally find an excuse and throw them away.

If you can't survive, it's because you were born in the wrong birth. You can't blame us for abandoning you!

More drowning, Jiang Liu'er is not much.

"It's easy for the government to find her parents, but if you throw it the first time, there will be a second time." Lord Lu looked at her with dark eyes and said truthfully.

"I know! I haven't checked the baby tower in detail, but as far as I'm holding her, I have touched five straw mats." Ye Sanniang looked at him with bottomless black eyes and said, "The imperial court allows The purpose of widows remarrying is to have more children, but now the baby girls are drowned. From then on, the village will be full of boys, and when they reach the marriageable age, there will be more boys than girls. With so many bachelors, where can they find wives?" Dissatisfied He said eagerly, "How can there be a man without a woman." Looking at him with Qingming eyes, he said, "If you want to eliminate the baby tower, you have to attack from the root."

"This government knows that poverty is the root cause, but it's not something that can be accomplished overnight." Mr. Lu looked at her with dark eyes and said, "Far water can't quench near thirst."

"But we have to act now, we can't just watch these baby girls being thrown away, let's starve them to death!" Ye Sanniang looked at him anxiously and said.

"Don't worry, I know, I know." Lord Lu looked at her like an ant on a hot pot and said quickly, "It's just that I don't have a good solution for this right now? Let me think about it."

"I think it's better for Mrs. Zun to come forward regarding the child." Ye Sanniang looked at her with deep and bright eyes and said.

"My wife." Lord Lu said, looking at her with raised brows.

"Could it be that Mr. Lu wants to take care of the child?" Ye Sanniang said as she hugged the baby in her arms.

Master Lu looked at the little baby in her arms with dark eyes, and pursed his lips, not daring to hug his baby girl after she was born.

It was only when she was wrapped in a quilt that she dared to hug her.

It's kind of impossible to let him babysit the baby.

"But my wife's energy is limited!" Master Lu frowned slightly and looked at her and said, "This way we won't be able to save more baby girls."

"It's enough for your Madam to have charisma. There are so many rich households in this city who flaunt their benevolence, donate porridge and medicine, and build bridges and roads." Ye Sanniang looked at him peacefully and said, "Saving a life is better than making a living." A seven-level pagoda! Such great kindness, how can we miss these great benevolent people!"

Master Lu was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at her watery and innocent peach blossom eyes. Are you sure this is not irony?

"You're talking about a solution?" Lord Lu nodded thoughtfully, then raised his voice and said to the guard at the door, "Go and invite Madam to come to the second hall to discuss something!"

"Yes!" The guard outside the door clapped his hands and went to the front office room to invite Mrs. Lu over.

"Ye Sanniang, it looks like you've come prepared!" Mr. Lu stared at her with dark eyes and said pointedly.

"Lord Lu is wise!" Ye Sanniang stood up and blessed her body.

"You're holding the baby! Don't salute." Upon seeing this, Mr. Lu hurriedly said, "Sit down, sit down!"

Ye Sanniang sat down again when she heard the words, "The folk women also found the solution from the history books. This abandoned baby, drowning is not something that only happens now." After a pause, she continued, "In the Song Dynasty, Su Shi met many people. something like this."

"Su Shi?" Master Lu thought for a while, pointed at her with his index finger and said, "Dongpo Meat."

"That's right, it's Dongpo pork." Ye Sanniang was taken aback when she heard the words, and then she said unhurriedly, "Before the Song Dynasty, pork was not a popular food, and most people ate it. In the past, people used fish and sheep as their main food." Fresh meat, mutton, beef, and fish are the main types, especially for the literati and scholar-bureaucrats. Later, Dongpo Layman improved the method of pork, making it a delicacy that is on the table in No. [-] Middle School." Then he said, "Dongpo Laymen not only take the lead in eating it, but also write poems praising it!"

"This house knows about "Ode to Pork"." Lord Lu said without hesitation, "Clean the pan, with less water, and the firewood can not afford to smoke. Don't rush him until he is familiar with it. He will do it himself when the heat is enough Beautiful. Huangzhou is good pork, the price is as cheap as dirt. The rich don’t want to eat it, and the poor don’t know how to boil it. When they wake up in the morning, they eat two bowls.
