When the sun rises again, the victims in the flood shelter area have generally accepted the life of two meals per day, one meal a nest and a bowl of thin rice, they eat in the flood shelter area to eat and sleep and eat, and do not do any work, there is nothing to consume, such a standard of food, basically can also eat a eighty percent full.
“Hey, another nest a bowl of thin rice …… This is enough for who to eat ah, before my pig ate better than this.”Of course, every time when playing rice, also always can’t avoid someone to complain on two sentences.
“Alright, don’t complain, it’s good to have something to eat now. Yesterday, I went to the county town with Tie Lock, Buffalo and the others, and my dear mother, you don’t know how high the price of food has risen, and the price of a stone of rice has risen to 1,260 wen for the grain sold in the grain shops. If you were to eat at a restaurant in the city, you’d have to spend at least fifteen wen for a bowl of rice and a dumpling, and you wouldn’t even be able to buy it.”
The townspeople behind him, after hearing his complaint, patted his shoulder, shook his head and advised with a bitter smile.
“What? A broken nest egg and a bowl of broken rice can be worth so much money?!!!”When the complaining calamity heard this, his mouth opened wide in surprise, and he hurriedly hugged his bowl of rice tightly for fear that it would be snatched by someone.
“What do you think, we wanted to go to the county town yesterday to sneak in and buy some food to add to our meal, but when we took a look at the price, we were so scared that we came back with our tails between our legs. If you don’t believe me, ask Iron Lock and Buffalo and a few of them.”
The countryman in the back laughed bitterly.
Tie Lock, Buffalo and the other villagers at the back also nodded their heads vigorously, with a palpitating look on their faces, yesterday’s ridiculously expensive prices in the county town made them still have a psychological shadow.
“Kiss my mother ah, this grain has caught up with the meat are expensive, why don’t they go to rob ah.”The complaining townspeople opened their mouths wide.
“Rob? I’m telling you, at this price, everyone in the county is still rushing to buy it. If you go late, you won’t even be able to buy it if you want to.”Tie Lock and the others in the back said.
Well, the complaining townspeople sniffed and never complained again, eating the nest and thin rice again, feeling incomparably sweet.
“Hey, Brother Sanshui, have you guys noticed, how come there are so many new faces in this team today?!”
After Tie Lock had beaten the rice, he inadvertently swept and found that the queue was much longer than usual, hitching a glance and realising that there were many more raw faces inside the queue, he couldn’t help but push the townspeople in front of him, frowning and said.
“You only just found out ah, I found out yesterday, these are all here to dabble. It’s just that there are more people dabbling today than yesterday. Look at them, they’re dressed cleanly, the material isn’t bad, where do they look like disaster victims, they’re all city people, and many of them have come all the way from Taiping County to dine with us. See that guy over there? He’s a pawnshop owner from Taiping County. He’s known for taking advantage of people, so he must have heard that food is free here and came all the way here to take advantage of it. With so many people here at once, I’m afraid the people at the back of the queue won’t be able to get a meal.”Disaster Victim Brother San Shui said in a low voice, full of contempt for those who came to take advantage of the meal.
“Bah, these people are really shameless, even robbing the rice of our disaster victims, it’s really something to look down upon.”
Buffalo couldn’t help but curse.
“Alright, one more thing is better than one less thing, we’ve hit the rice, whatever, whatever.”Brother San Shui advised.
“Then how can we do it Brother San Shui, this time we are in the front of the line, but what about next time, if next time we are in the back of the line, then won’t we have no rice.”Tie Lock and the others shook their heads vigorously.
“No food, that won’t do!”
The townsman who had complained earlier sniffed and immediately exploded, yelling loudly with his bowl.
Aside from them, there were many other people who noticed this scene and argued with the people who were dabbling with the food.
After the policeman who maintained order found out, he came over to ask, the victims pointed out some of the dabbler, but the dabbler didn’t admit it, insisting that they were also victims, due to the fact that there were many dabblers, and even more people in the flood shelter area, checking the register was not an easy task, and in the end, it could only be left unsettled.
However, the number of people who dabbled with the food was too many, the cooks made breakfast in the morning according to the number of victims, and reserved some for the rich, but when the breakfast came to the back, there was no more rice and rice, and there were still a lot of people left behind who did not get their breakfast.
The flood victims who did not get any rice of course did not want to do it. There was no other way, so the official in charge of the flood shelter area had to ask the cooks to make some more breakfast, so that all the victims in the queue could get their breakfast, and that was the end of it.
In the end, Liu Dianlian and the others calculated that the food consumed in this breakfast was thousands of buckets more than before the lowering of the food standard, which was not a small amount.
Liu Dianlian and others felt that the matter was serious, and one after another reported the matter to Zhu Pingan.
“Dabbling in meals ah …… “After Zhu Pingan got the report, he slightly contemplated for a few seconds, and immediately thought of an allusion in history, and could not help but smile slightly, and said to Liu Dianliang and others, “This is not difficult to solve, like this, in the second half of the morning when Iarrive, you guys can start the meal again.”
Not difficult to solve?
Liu Dianlian and the others couldn’t help but widen their eyes, our hair is almost scratching, we didn’t even think of a solution, the County Dignitary even thought of a solution at once, the County Dignitary deserves to be the County Dignitary.
In the second half of the afternoon, it was time for the meal again, and a long queue formed early in the northern suburb of the flood shelter. Just like in the morning, many of the people in the queue were dabbling in the meal, and the queue was quite far ahead.
Zhu Pingan rushed to the Northern Suburbs Flood Shelter before the meal started, and swept a glance at the queue, indeed, as Liu Dianliang and the others said, the queue was obviously more people than the registered victims.
“Quickly look, the governor’s grand master is here.”As soon as Zhu Pingan arrived, all the people turned their gazes towards him.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Zhu Pingan came to the mess area, squatted down, grabbed two handfuls of grass ash from underneath the pots and stoves, and in front of the crowd, sprinkled one handful of grass ash yang into the steaming pot of porridge in front of him, and the other handful of grass ash into the nesting baskets before clapping his hands together.
Petrified!
The people waiting in the queue for their meals were all petrified! One by one, they were dumbstruck and winded.
“Crap, did I see it right, Dog Officer he sprinkled ash into the porridge and on the nests?!”
“Is this something a human being would do?!”
“This dog official is simply heartless and heartless! The day before yesterday you lowered our standard of living, the meals were reduced to one wok and one bowl of thin rice, we couldn’t even get enough to eat, and now you’re sprinkling ash into it! It’s simply inhuman!”
A second later, the shocked people reacted, and all of a sudden the northern suburb of the flood shelter area boiled over.
“Bah, can this person still eat?”
A dabbler in the group saw this, spat a mouthful of spit, and cursed.
“How can this still be eaten! Let’s go let’s go ……”
“Bah, it’s really not something! Who cares! Go away!”
The people who lined up to dabble in the food left one after another cursing and swearing, and in one time there were thousands of people gone.
They are not really disaster victims, refugees, their families are not bad, just to take advantage of the flood shelter area to dilly-dally, now see the porridge, nest on the grass ash, that can still dilly-dally ah.
Now, those who still stay in the team are real victims and refugees, they really can’t survive, not to mention a handful of grass ash in the porridge, even if the grass ash is more, in order to survive, they have to eat ah.
These real victims, refugees, although also mouth cursing mother, but all honestly queuing up waiting to play rice.
“County …… County Zun, this …… This is why ah, the soldiers can be killed not to be humiliated ah, although they are disaster victims, but ……”
There are not only disaster refugees present, Liu Dianliang and others are also present, they see Zhu Pingan’s operation, one by one also petrified like the crowd, half a day before reacting, jaws agape said.
“Look, the dabbler is not gone ……” Zhu Pingan pointed and said softly.
“Huh? Ah ……”
The crowd of xuwu just focused on the shock, did not notice that someone left, followed the direction that Zhu Pingan pointed, yes, left at least thousands of people, these people who left whether they are dressed or appearance is not like refugees, then suddenly realised that the original county honours to do so in order to solve the dabbling people ah.
“Cough cough, but the county respect, do so, also some ……” Liu Dianliang and others coughed, half a day can not say. At noon when the county respect said it is not difficult to solve, it is really not difficult to solve, sprinkle a handful of ash can be solved, but to the porridge pot to sprinkle ash, this is also too …… too much ……
“Folks, I have the cheek to jump in ……” Zhu Pingan arched his hand to the crowd, apologetically said, and then in front of the crowd took a long spoon from the cook’s hand, served a bowl of congee from the pot, and reached out to take an ash stained nest, and in front of the crowd began to eat up.face began to eat it.
“Gongzi ……” Liu Dazhou stepped forward, wanting to stop.
“It’s fine, it’s good, the grass ash also strengthens the tendons and bones and sharpens the joints.”
Zhu Pingan waved his hand, three mouths and two mouths will be a nest to swallow into the stomach, suction will be a bowl of porridge drank a light, like drinking all the wine, reversed the porridge bowl, show to the queue of a crowd of victims.
“This sprinkle ash porridge county honourable also eat ah. There is also that nest, also all stained with grey.”
“If the governor can drink it, we’re more valuable than the governor, so what are you shouting about? If the magistrate can drink this porridge, we can drink it too; if the magistrate can eat it, we can eat it too.”
“You guys are stupid, don’t you understand, the county honours are doing this in order to throw out those who dabble in the food. County Honour is really well-intentioned.”
“Hehe, it’s still true, those raw faces who dabbled with the food, they’ve all left. It’s not like their families are out of food, they’re too dirty.”
The crowd buzzed, surprised that Zhu Pingan drank porridge that was sprinkled with grass ash, and reacted with hindsight, sensing Zhu Pingan’s good intentions, suddenly the anger on people’s faces disappeared, and they didn’t curse, and honestly lined up to fight for their meals.
“Go, go to the next flood avoidance area.”Zhu Pingan led Liu Dazhou and the others to turn around and head to the next flood avoidance area.
Liu Dabbler and the others looked at Zhu Pingan’s back and admired him, the county dignitary deserves to be the county dignitary, scattering a handful of dust, solving the problem of dabbling, drinking a bowl of porridge, eliminating the hidden public grievances in the flood avoidance area.
“This porridge, we’ll have a bowl of it too.”Dignitary Liu and the others looked at each other and said in unison.
The county dignitary has good intentions and sacrificed so much for the flood, we can’t stay out of it either.
