Chapter 1238 The Dog Official is Heartbroken
When the sun rises again, the victims in the flood refuge area have generally accepted a life of two meals a day, one wotou and one bowl of porridge. I ate, slept, ate, didn't do much work, and didn't consume much. With this standard of food, I could basically feel 80% full.
"Hey, another steamed bun and a bowl of porridge... This is enough for who. In the past, my pigs ate better than this." Of course, every time we prepare rice, there will always be people. Two complaints.
"Okay, don't complain. It's good to have some food now. Yesterday I went to the county town with Tie Suo and Buffalo. My dear mother, you don't know this food. Prices have increased to such an extent. The price of grain sold in grain stores has risen to 12 yuan per kilogram of rice. 60 Wen. If you eat in a restaurant in the city, you will have to spend at least fifteen Wen for a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun. You may not even be able to buy the one behind him. After hearing his complaint, the villagers patted him on the shoulder, shook their heads and persuaded him with a bitter smile.
"What? A poor bowl of rice porridge can be worth so much money?!" After hearing this, the complaining victims opened their mouths in surprise and quickly hugged their jobs tightly, for fear of being robbed by someone.
"What do you think? We wanted to go to the county town yesterday to secretly buy some food and add a meal, but when we saw the price, we were so scared that we came back with our tails between our legs. If you don't believe it, ask if there are any iron locks. There are a few buffaloes."
The countryman behind said with a wry smile.
Tieshuo, Buffalo and other villagers behind them also nodded vigorously, with lingering fears on their faces. The ridiculously expensive prices in the county yesterday left them with psychological shadows now.
"My dear mother, this food is as expensive as meat. Why don't they grab it?" The complaining villagers opened their mouths.
"Robbing?! Let me tell you, at this price, people in the county are still rushing to buy it. I got there late and couldn't even buy it if I wanted to." Tie Suo and others behind said.
Well, when the complaining villagers heard this, they stopped complaining and ate steamed buns and porridge again, which felt extremely sweet.
“Hey, Brother Sanshui, have you noticed that there are so many new faces in this team today?!”
After Iron Suo finished his meal, he casually glanced around and found the team. Li was much longer than usual. When he took a quick look, he found that there were many new faces in the team. He couldn't help but push the countryman in front and said with a frown.
"You just discovered it. I discovered it yesterday. These are all people who are here to get food. It's just that there are more people here today than yesterday. Look at them. They are cleanly dressed and don't have any materials. No, they don't look like victims of a disaster. They are all city dwellers, and many of them came all the way from Taiping County to have a meal. I saw that the guy over there was not there. He was a pawnshop owner in Taiping County. He was famous for taking advantage. He must have heard that meals were provided here for free, so he came all the way to take advantage of it. Suddenly there were so many people in the queue. The people behind are afraid they won’t be able to get food,” Brother Sanshui, a victim of the disaster, said in a low voice, full of contempt for those who came to get food.
"Bah, these people are so shameless. They even rob the food of us victims. It's really despising."
The buffalo couldn't help but curse.
"Okay, one more thing is worse than one less thing. We've all got our food, don't worry about it, don't worry about it." Brother Sanshui advised.
"What shall we do, Brother Sanshui, this time we are in the front, but next time, if we are in the back next time, then we will have no food." Tie Suo and others used their strength. 's shook his head.
“It’s impossible if you don’t have food to eat!”
When the countryman who complained before heard this, he immediately became furious and started shouting loudly while holding a bowl.
In addition to them, there were many people who discovered this scene and started quarreling with the people who were cheating on them.
After the policemen who maintained order found out, they came over to inquire. The victims pointed out that some people were cheating on them. However, the cheaters refused to admit it and insisted that they were also victims of the disaster. Since there were many people cheating on them, the flood refuge area There were more people, and checking the register was not an easy task, so in the end we had to let it go.
However, there were too many people eating. The cook made breakfast according to the number of victims in the morning, and reserved some food. However, when breakfast was served later, the steamed buns and porridge were gone. , there are still many people left behind who haven’t had breakfast yet.
Of course the victims who didn’t get food stopped working. There was no other way, so the subordinate in charge of the flood refuge area had to ask the cook to make some breakfast, so that all the victims waiting in line could get breakfast, and that was the end.
Finally, Liu Dianli and others calculated that the food consumed for this breakfast was thousands of buckets more than before the food standard was lowered. This is not a small amount.
Liu Dianli and others felt that the matter was serious and reported the matter to Zhu Pingan one after another.
“It’s time to eat...” After receiving the report, Zhu Ping’an thought for a few seconds and suddenly thought of an allusion in history. He couldn’t help but smile and said to Liu Dianli and others, “That’s not the case either. It’s difficult to solve. Let’s wait until I arrive later and you can start dinner.”
Isn’t it difficult to solve?
Liu Dianli and others couldn't help but widen their eyes. Our hair was almost scratched, and we didn't even think of a solution. The county honorary suddenly thought of a solution. The county honorary is worthy of being the county honorary.
In the second half of the afternoon, it was time for lunch again, and a long queue formed early in the northern suburbs flood refuge area. Just like in the morning, many of the people in the queue were foodies, and they were pretty far in the queue.
Zhu Ping'an arrived at the northern suburbs flood refuge area before the meal started and took a look at the queue. As Liu Dianli and others said, there were obviously more people in the queue than registered victims.
"Look, the county magistrate is here." As soon as Zhu Pingan arrived, everyone looked at Zhu Pingan.
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhu Pingan came to the kitchen area, squatted down, grabbed two handfuls of grass ashes from the ground of the stove, and sprinkled a handful of grass ashes into the steaming pot in front of everyone. In the porridge pot, another handful of grass ash was thrown into the steamed bread basket, and then he clapped his hands.
Petrified!
All the people waiting in line for food were petrified! Everyone was stunned and messy in the wind.
“Damn it, am I right? The dog officer sprinkled ashes into the porridge and on the head of the bun?!”
“Is this what humans do?!”
“This dog officer is so crazy and heartless! You surrendered to us the day before yesterday The standard of living has been reduced to one steamed bun and one bowl of porridge, and we can’t even get enough to eat. Now you’re throwing ashes in it! It’s simply inhumane!”
After a second, the shocked people reacted. When I came here, the flood refuge area in the northern suburbs suddenly started to boil.
"Bah, can this person still eat?"
When a person in the team saw this, he spat, cursed and left.
"How can we eat this! Let's go, let's go..."
"Bah, it's really nothing! Who cares! Let's go!"
People queuing up to eat One after another they left, cursing and cursing, and at one time, thousands of people left.
They are not really victims of the disaster or refugees. Their families are doing fine. They just come to the flood refuge area to take advantage of the situation and eat and drink. Now that they see grass ashes in their porridge and on their buns, they can still continue to do so.
The people who are still in the team are real victims and refugees. They really can’t survive. Let alone a handful of grass ashes in the porridge, no matter how much grass ashes there are, in order to survive, they will Gotta eat.
These real disaster victims and refugees, although they also cursed, they all queued up honestly to wait for food.
"County... County Lord, why... is this? Scholars cannot be killed and cannot be humiliated. Although they are victims of the disaster, they..."
There are not only victims and refugees present, Liu Dianli and others were also there. When they saw Zhu Pingan's operation, they were all petrified like everyone else. It took them a long time to react and said in stunned silence.
"Look, the foodie is not gone..." Zhu Pingan pointed and said softly.
"Huh? Ah..."
The subordinates were shocked when they came here just now. They didn't notice anyone leaving. When they looked in the direction Zhu Pingan pointed, they saw that no one had left. There were thousands of people, and these people who left did not look like refugees, either in their clothes or in their appearance. Only then did they suddenly realize that the county magistrate was doing this to get rid of the people who were trying to make ends meet.
"Ahem, but the county magistrate, doing this is a bit..." Liu Dianli and others coughed and were speechless for a long time. At noon, the county magistrate said that it is not difficult to solve. It is really not difficult to solve. It can be solved by sprinkling a handful of ashes, but sprinkling ashes into the porridge pot is too... too much.
"Dear elders, Folks, I shamelessly jumped in line... ..." Zhu Ping'an bowed his hands to everyone and said apologetically. Then he took the ladle from the cook in front of everyone, filled a bowl of porridge from the pot, and then reached for a steamed bun stained with dust. Started eating in front of everyone.
"Young Master..." Liu Dadao stepped forward, trying to stop him.
"It's okay, it's okay. Grass ash can also strengthen the muscles and bones and sharpen the joints."
Zhu Ping'an waved his hand, swallowed a steamed bun into his stomach in two mouthfuls, and drank a bowl of porridge. He emptied everything, just like he had drank all the wine, and turned over the porridge bowl to show it to the disaster victims who were queuing up.
“The county magistrate also eats this porridge sprinkled with ashes. And that wotou is also stained with ashes.”
“The magistrate can drink it, how can we be better than the magistrate? The Lord is rich, so why are you talking about it? If the County Lord can drink this porridge, we can also drink it; if the Lord County Lord can eat it, we can also eat it.”
"You guys are stupid, don't you understand? The county magistrate did this to drive away those people who are trying to make money. The county magistrate really has good intentions." The foodies are all gone. They don't have enough food at home. They think it's dirty. . ”
The crowd started buzzing, surprised that Zhu Pingan drank the porridge sprinkled with grass ash. After a while, they realized that Zhu Pingan had good intentions, and the anger on people’s faces suddenly disappeared. I stopped cursing and started queuing up to eat.
“Let’s go to the next flood refuge area.” Zhu Pingan took Liu Dadao and others and turned around to the next flood refuge area.
Liu Dianli and others looked at Zhu Ping'an's back and fell to the ground in admiration. The county magistrate was worthy of being a county magistrate. He sprinkled a handful of ashes and solved the problem of missing a meal. He drank a bowl of porridge and eliminated the problem of avoidance. The hidden dangers of public grievances in flooded areas.
"We also want a bowl of this porridge." Liu Dianli and others looked at each other and said in unison.
The county has good intentions and has sacrificed so much for the floods, and we cannot stay out of it. (End of this chapter)
