ancient female doctor

Chapter 597 Desperate

Hearing Sun Ermao's words, several grown men standing in his yard had embarrassing expressions on their faces. It was obvious that Sun Ermao's words had caught his mind.

Sun Ermao sneered twice, looked at the people in the yard and said: "I advise you not to think about it, if those high-ranking officials and nobles can trust, our Yong'an Square will not be what it is now, we still have to think about where to go to get it. It is more reliable to get money and food. The food we store is almost empty. If this continues, the old and the young will not be able to guarantee one meal a day."

A man in his 30s sneered twice, looked at Sun Ermao and said, "Brother Sun, we don't want to think about it anymore, but the children and daughter-in-laws in the family don't follow me. You know, since the emperor entered the city, the people in the city There are more soldiers on patrol, and business is not easy... There are so many mouths waiting in the house, and every evening, there can be half a bowl of brown rice porridge, and it will not be a problem if it continues like this."

Another man who looked sad also nodded, and said to Sun Ermao: "Yes, Brother Sun, this grown-up child cries in front of us all day long, shouting that he is hungry, beating him and scolding him." Scolding, but it's not a big deal. Especially the children in the family, in the middle of the night, they are so hungry that they cry. Seeing this as a father, I feel really uncomfortable..."

As soon as the sad-faced man finished speaking, someone nodded again and said, "Yes, little brother Sun, you feed the whole family by yourself, but we have an old man, a young man, and a woman in the middle. Everyone is opening their mouths, looking for us to eat, I don’t want to find other ways, but it won’t work..."

The man who spoke first laughed again, looked at Sun Ermao and said, "That's right, or let those old people, children and women help, if nothing else, at least we can have a full meal, little one." Didn’t Shishi just say that the person in charge said that those porridges, steamed buns and so on are all prepared for us, so we can’t just take advantage of those beggars.”

Hearing what those people in the yard said in a hurry, Sun Ermao felt a little irritated, and shouted at everyone: "Okay, stop shouting, I will find a way about money and food. As for you As for the matter, as long as I am still the head of Yong'an Square, don't give me any other thoughts.

"Have been cheating and abducting for so long, don't you understand how those outsiders fell for it? Where in the world can there be free food?"

"Maybe those high-ranking officials have some bad intentions, what kind of schemes do you have, don't you suffer a lot? Why don't you care about it until now? Why do you change quickly? Eat early this afternoon. , Follow me to find a job after dinner."

After Sun Ermao yelled, the others stopped talking and exited Sun Ermao's yard one after another, but when they walked outside, some people still couldn't help muttering.

"We are poor and white, even if we go to a rich family to sell ourselves, no one will want us. What can we have for others to plot?"

However, no one dared to disobey Sun Ermao's intentions.After all, after all these years, without Sun Ermao, I don't know how many people in Yong'an Square would starve to death and freeze to death. These people still know it in their hearts.

Qingzhu asked people to go to the street to buy a stove with a big pot, and put it on the wall not far from the entrance of Yong'an Square. Inside the pot, people bought a lot of stick bones with meat, and slaughtered them in large pieces. There are a lot of fat pieces in it, some soaked shiitake mushrooms are added, and it immediately stops at the entrance of the square.

Before dawn, a tangy smell of meat wafted from the gate of Yong'an Square.The beggars who came to work couldn't stop swallowing.

Qingzhu asked people to distribute two steamed buns to each beggar, so that everyone was full enough to work.

With two steamed buns at the bottom, plus the smell of meat in the cauldron, and the promise of the servants of the county lord's mansion, to let everyone eat meat and drink soup at noon, the mood of the beggars is high stand up.Don't care that the place they cleaned yesterday is dirtier again than it was before it was cleaned.

In fact, in the eyes of those beggars, it would be good if it could never be cleaned.In this way, they can have a full stomach every day.

At noon, every beggar was given a bowl of soup with vegetables, meat and bones, plus two steamed buns, and the manager also said that as long as they praised the food as delicious, they could continue to lick the meat Lick the soup until you are full.

As a result, the beggars naturally worked hard, and what's more, they walked around the streets and alleys of Yong'an Square with their bowls in their hands, drinking the soup loudly while exaggerating about its deliciousness.These people naturally received extra praise from Liu An, and promised them extra rewards when they finished work in the afternoon.

In this way, after another two days, the beggars became more and more cheerful, while the people in Yong'an Square became more and more impatient.

On the third day, the little stone who had survived Sun Ermao's beating for ten small coins was the first one to bear it no longer. Regardless of the dissuasion of his friends, he ran directly to Liu An, drooling and said: "Liu An Lord, can I help with the work? I want to eat meat and steamed buns."

Liu An was happy.

That's right, I've worked so hard for so long, and finally someone can't help it. Even if it's just a child, it's an improvement. When I'm in front of Qingzhu, I can also ask for credit. Can Liu An not be happy?
"Okay, come here first to drink the broth and eat a steamed bun. Once you are full, let's work with everyone."

Liu An looked at Xiao Shitou with a wide smile and said.

Seeing that he could get food first without doing anything, Xiao Shitou was overjoyed, nodded quickly and said, "Hey, thank you Master Liu."

In the bowl of broth for Xiao Shitou, Liu An added several pieces of meat, and told Xiao Shitou that because he usually has little oil and water, he was afraid that he would suddenly eat too much meat and his stomach would not be able to bear it, otherwise , at least give him a spoon full of clean meat.

Xiao Shitou purposely stood in a place where the little friends hiding in the alley could see, he ate the meat Liu An gave him in big mouthfuls, and then soaked the steamed buns in the broth and ate them.After eating, he wiped his mouth and said loudly, "It's really delicious."

Now, not many of the children in Yong'an Square could hold back, one after another, a few more ran to Liu An, imitating Little Shitou's appearance, saying they wanted to help.

Naturally, Liu An never refused anyone who came, and every child was given half a bowl of soup and half a steamed bun first.

When he went back to answer Qing Zhu after work was over, Liu An was beaming.

And Qingzhu, because the matter finally made progress, immediately praised Liu An without hesitation, and gave him a reward of ten taels of silver.

Qingzhu has made progress, and Sun Ermao of Yong'anfang feels a little impatient.

Unable to bear it, I wanted to take the risk.
