Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 207 Distributing Kang Muguo
Chu Hong glanced at the empty tea house, and said sadly, "Let's have a bowl of tea soup."

"What kind of tea soup do you want, my lady? The store has grandma tea, jasmine tea, Qibao tea..."

"Jasmine tea."

"Hey, I'll be here soon, do you want some more dry food, little lady?"

"No, by the way, your house"

Before she finished speaking, Wen Shu lifted the curtain and came in from behind: "Sister-in-law, there is only some flour left in the back room, do you have any more?"

"Wen Shu!"

"Chu Hong!"

"How did you come?!"

"When did you come back?"

Half a quarter of an hour later, Chu Hong galloped out of the tea shed, and said to the man opposite the official road, "Fourth Uncle, I won't be going back to Cangzhou, you should take them back first."

"Nonsense! Get on your horse quickly, there are so many people waiting."

"No, fourth uncle, let me stay for two more days. Third uncle will go to Beijing in two days. I'll go back with him then. It's fine."

"How can you say that the wind is the rain, your third uncle will arrive in the day after tomorrow, how can I rest assured that you are alone in Beijing these two days."

"Why don't you worry, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, in a peaceful and prosperous world, people can still be kidnapped. Besides, there are other courtyards in our city, servants, it's a big deal, I will take two people with me when I go out."

"Then how did you go back today?"

"Go back."

"If Uncle Chu is not at ease, I can send Miss Chu back." Wen Shu came out of the tea shed and smiled at the man.

Chu Jiang recognized that she was the little lady who treated Chu Xin in Cangzhou, and he felt relieved. Seeing Chu Hong's resolute attitude, and it was getting late, they had to hurry, so they could only tell Chu Hong helplessly. In a word, he took people away.

As soon as he left, Chu Hong immediately cheered up, took Wen Shu's hand and said, "Now you can always lead me around."

"You have been in Jingcheng for so long, and you haven't been anywhere?"

"I've been to two places, Mahang Street Night Market and Fanlou."

"Only these two places."

"That's right, when I first came to Beijing, I found out that you were missing. How can I still be in the mood to play around? You don't know. For you, I went to the Marquis Mansion to beg Lu Xingwan." Chu Hong asked for credit road.

"Miss Lu." Wen Shu paused, turned his head and asked in doubt, "What do you beg her to do, she is a lady of a great family, she can help you find someone if she doesn't leave the door, and if she doesn't walk through the door."

"She can't, but her brother can." Chu Hong said proudly, "Lu Dalang is the young minister of Dali Temple, and his family is a dignified family, they have been rooted in the capital for a long time, and their skills are better than that of a foreigner like me. "

"That being said, I'm an insignificant commoner, so I don't have to work too hard for Lu Shaoqing."

"You guessed it wrong. Lu Dalang tried his best to help after hearing about it. He sent many people out to look for you, but who would have thought that you lost your way in the mountains and forests? Really"

Chu Hong was speechless.

"Okay, I don't want to either, but since you said that, you should thank Master Lu and Miss Lu well."

"No, Lu Xingwan usually looks hypocritical and mean, but he is very generous to you. This time he has put in a lot of effort. You really should thank her."

"Understood, how about this, I will be the host some other day, and you will be my company, how about asking their brothers and sisters out for a meal."

"Sure, but where are you calling? Maybe it's in Shanlou, I've been there once, and the food tastes amazing."

"No, no, it's too expensive there, I can't afford it." Wen Shu shook his head repeatedly.

"Then where are you?"

Wen Shu thought for a while, then smiled mysteriously, "Let's not talk about it, you will know when the time comes."

As the two talked, they sat down in the tea shed. Wen Shu poured her a cup of tea and asked her if she wanted to go back.

Chu Hong shook her head again and again: "What's the point of going back and staying in the mansion, but your teahouse is still interesting, I'll just sit here and go back to the city with you in the afternoon."

Wen Shu nodded. At this time, a group of people came from outside the tea shed. She hurriedly got up to say hello, "Guys, please come in quickly. What do you want?"

The big tall man at the head looked around with a serious face and asked, "Is there any Er Chen Tang?"

"Yes, yes, how many bowls does the official want?"

"Everyone who follows me will get a bowl, and those outside the door will also be given a bowl." The tall man sat down by the door, and the rest of the soldiers followed suit. Seventeen or eight people filled the small tea shed to the brim.

Wen Shu looked outside again, what a guy! There were not seven or eighty people standing or lying on the outside, but some forty or fifty, plus the inside
Dozens of people came at once, and Wen Shu was so busy that he hit the back of his head.

Seeing this, Chu Hong wisely offered to help. Wen Shu saw that the officials seemed to be in a hurry to leave, so she didn't refuse, and asked her to make the soup. Sister-in-law Zhao brought it over, and she herself started making steamed buns without stopping.

In her absence, Mrs. Zhao did not dare to make too many staple foods, for fear that they would not be sold and wasted. Therefore, there were only twenty or thirty steamed buns in the steamer at this time.

She kept moving, and the big, tall leader in the hall put the simple knife on the table, and said to the outside: "Everyone listen to me, when the soup and dry food come up, you should hurry up and eat and drink. Wounded soldiers must be sent to the Eighth Battalion before noon, otherwise they will be dealt with by military law."

"yes."
Chu Hong looked out of the shed curiously when he heard the words, but seeing the soldiers lying on the wooden stretchers covered in cloth strips, he couldn't help asking Wen Shu beside him: "Isn't there a war going on around here? Why are the soldiers outside so injured?" Heavy."

Wen Shu glanced at their clothes, which seemed to be the fire diving suits of the fire diving team, and coupled with the news he heard at the tea shop last night, he knew why these people were injured.

"They belong to the submerged fire team. The injuries on their bodies should have been caused by fighting the fire yesterday. Water and fire are ruthless!"

"That's right." Chu Hong fell silent.

The Chu Family Courtyard lives not far from the south of the city. She also saw the fire yesterday in the mansion. The thick black fog covered the sky to avoid the sun, and the raging flames swept high into the sky. If it wasn't for the last, a red bird magic soldier Fanning the flames like the sky, I'm afraid that her family's other courtyard may be affected.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly stopped her movements and said to the crowd: "Military masters have worked hard, I invited you to eat today, the fire in the south of the city yesterday, it was all thanks to your bravery to put out the fire so quickly, the slave family admires it very much .”

Hearing the sound, there was a complete silence inside and outside the tea shed.

The big tall man was stunned for a long time, then wiped his face, and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you, young lady, for your kindness, it's just the so-called food for the emperor's fortune, and taking care of the emperor's worries, these are the duties of my duty, and I should not thank you. "

"Although it is a matter of duty, it requires courage. Miss Chu is right. Today she invites food, and I invite fruit. I only hope that when you serve the country and the people, you will all be safe and come back triumphant."

After all, all the noodle preparations in his hand had been placed in the steamer. Wen Shu wiped his hands, turned around and went to the back room, took out more than [-] kangmu fruits from the storage basket, and brought a basket of ordinary loquats to the front.

She distributed kangmu fruit to the soldiers lying on the ground, tied with cloth strips.The loquats were distributed to those healthy soldiers.

Kangmu fruit has the effect of resisting heat and poisonous gas, and it would be useful for those soldiers who were burned.
