Chapter 165 Reclaiming the Tea Mountain
When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone on the land of Gujia Village, Li Zheng and a group of villagers who had already gotten up stood in a long queue in the golden sunshine and looked forward to it.
Everyone got up before dawn and cooked porridge. Everyone was gearing up and waiting for Gu Qing to send tools so they could work in the mountains.
At this time, people from the construction team had already entered the village with their tools. Gu Qing, served by her personal maid Xia Zhu, dressed neatly and went out.
When everyone saw the cold-gleaming blade, they were all eager to try it. This was the first time in their lives that they had seen such a good tool.
"Everyone has seen the tools. They are all brand new and the blades are very sharp. Please be careful when working. In addition, during the period of cultivating the tea mountains, I will take my servants to provide lunch for everyone. The old and weak in the village cannot work in the mountains.
Can Yi stayed behind to help wash and choose vegetables!"
After Gu Qing finished speaking, Mo Li and Dong Rong distributed the tools to everyone, and Yu An and Yang Huai registered.
As for Zhu Han and Yang Pei, they have to go to town in the morning to keep an eye on them. Nowadays, the princess is like a boy who spreads money, and they are not allowed to roll up their sleeves and work hard to make money.
If the business in the store is good, the princess will have money to do what she wants to do.
Even Gu Nuo, the youngest in the family, has been worried about this recently. He doesn't eat as much as before every time he eats.
There are more and more people in the family, and the eldest sister spends money like water. If he doesn't be more frugal, he is afraid that he will have to eat chaffy vegetables again in the future.
"We all remember the kindness of the princess. Even if we don't have enough to eat, we will work hard."
Aunt Liu put the last dish into a huge dinner plate, wiped the sweat from her head and said, "You can let them go home and get the tableware to prepare their meal."
His legs were finally fine and he could finally walk again. At this moment, he was extremely grateful to Gu Qing, thanking her for giving him the motivation to live.
"Oh my God, it smells so good. I seem to smell the smell of meat."
Just when everyone was having different thoughts, the fragrance became stronger and stronger, making people salivate.
"I can't help it anymore. I really can't help it anymore. Let me go over and take a look!"
"If my parents were still alive, they would be able to eat meat..."
"Get out of the way, it's my turn... Oh my god, it's really pork, it's so fragrant, so fragrant!"
Gu Qing smiled and replied: "Daily walking is definitely no problem, but you'd better sit more and walk less in the past few days after you recover."
After distributing the tools, Gu Qing personally pushed Yu An back home, "Today is the last medicinal bath, how do you feel?"
Some emotional refugees started wiping away tears. When one person cried, a group of people started sobbing softly.
One by one, they ran back to their homes to get their dishes and chopsticks.
"Oh my god, there is really meat and fried residue. The princess is so generous."
"All of us in Gujiacun will always remember the kindness of the princess..."
Although everyone's rice bowl is different in size, the spoons used to prepare rice and vegetables are all of the same size.
When the first bite of rice was put into their lips and tongues, the eyes of those people were moved and turned red again.
This was what Gu Qing ordered. It was the first meal when work started. She told her that she must cook a delicious meal to comfort everyone.
Everyone expressed their sincerity, and Li Zheng was very satisfied: "Those who have received the meal should quickly find a place to sit and eat."
"Why are you crying? What are you crying for?" Li Zheng shouted angrily, "What's wrong, the princess paid for the whole village to eat meat and wronged you? I told you that you can meet such a kind person like the princess,
It’s your blessing, why are you all still here crying? It’s really unlucky!”
This made the people who came back from work even hungrier. They were doing manual labor, and the little porridge they had in the morning was gone when they went to the hut.
"I think it's meat, too. It's too fragrant. My mother, it's been a long time since I've eaten meat."
Compared with other refugees, they really fell into Fuwowo.
The refugee on the side echoed: "Yes, for the past few months, we people have been drinking porridge every day, and we can't have enough to eat every day. I don't dare to ask for too much. Just a little food will be enough. After eating, I will have the strength to work."
no."
At the foot of the mountain, at the temporary settlement of Gujiacun, several large pots were set up. Firewood was delivered, the meals were prepared, and cooking began in the open air.
"well."
Gu Qing provided them with the same opportunities to make money as the villagers. No matter how much firewood they cut, the money earned from the sale was their own. They earned nearly a hundred yuan in one morning. If they could cut so much firewood every day, that would be enough for them in a month.
Then they would have six taels of silver, which was enough to make their lives easier.
Yu An stood up on his own yesterday, but he didn't dare to move after hearing Gu Qing's words. He tried his best to hold back, looked at Gu Qing and asked, "Will my legs be able to walk after tomorrow?"
"I'll go too!" The man took a sip and said, "This is really delicious..."
Yu An's deep eyes finally regained their former look, his brows and eyes were full of excitement, and he could no longer control the smile on his lips.
The refugees who came to Gujia Village were actually treated very well. The village gave them food and land, and Gu Qing gave them houses. As long as they planted all the fields in the spring and survived the autumn harvest, they would have no worries about food and housing.
.
Gu Qing pushed him to the door of his house. The guard at the door came over immediately and carried Yu An in. The rest of the work was left to the servant. Gu Qing also went to find Grandma Liu to arrange lunch for the villagers.
“It smells like meat, it’s really meaty!”
"We are crying not out of grievance, but out of joy. We are so happy to be able to eat meat."
In addition, there were 2,600 people in Gujia Village, a refugee camp, so there was no way to prepare tables and chairs. These people took their rice bowls and found a clean ground to sit down and eat.
Five pots are steaming rice at the same time, and the other is the largest iron pot for cooking. After a while, the aroma spreads everywhere.
Even if you really only have gruel to drink, it doesn't matter. Anyway, it's two hundred cents a day. In the evening, you can go home and buy some food from the villagers, and eat a few more mouthfuls to make up for it.
Gu Qing asked someone to prepare three dishes and one soup, stir-fried pork, stir-fried wild vegetables with lard residue, stir-fried cabbage, and radish and big bone soup.
The first person to receive the meal looked in disbelief.
With a shout, all the villagers became excited.
How can it not be fragrant? Because there is small stir-fried meat.
“You can line up to get food!”
"Stop talking nonsense, how can there be meat? There are more than 2,000 of us, so it would be nice if we could eat something dry."
A big spoonful of dry rice, half a spoonful of fried pork and some soup, and a spoonful of cabbage and wild vegetables, the rice bowl was piled into a mountain.
It's really meat, genuine pork. Take a bite and your mouth will be filled with the aroma of meat. The white rice soaked in soup is so plump that you can't stop eating it. The wild vegetables and lard residue are fried together, and every leaf is covered with oil.
The fishy smell is very delicious, and those who eat it can't stop... For a while, there is the sound of eating rice.
After finishing the meal, I went to get a bowl of soup, radish bone soup, it was so delicious.
Not to mention the refugees, even the villagers of Gujia Village have only eaten such sumptuous meals during the Chinese New Year.
After the meal, everyone touched their swollen bellies and felt very satisfied.
