This was definitely a social disaster scene. When Shen Yingying heard what Ouyang Yuqing said, her face became even more flushed.
However, she stubbornly said to Ouyang Yuqing, "Well, go check if the workers' meals are ready."
After a long day, let's give them some extra meat and vegetables.
Don't let them work for us all day and still not get enough nutrition.
The people who did the work, including the people in the county government, never expected to receive such good treatment.
When I gave Yin Yi vegetables and fruits back then, I also included quite a bit of meat.
However, most of the animals they hunted were wild animals.
Although these wild animals were few in number, they were like a New Year's celebration for the people who rarely ate meat.
Seeing his wife trying to avoid embarrassment, Ouyang Yuqing didn't expose her.
The old man listened to his wife as if she were a sacred decree and went into the crowd to carry out her orders, secretly smiling as he left.
Shen Yingying watched Ouyang Yuqing leave with a smirk, while Ouyang Yuqing rolled her eyes, thinking to herself: "You're going to be the death of me, huh..."
After a flurry of activity, the group finally had dinner around 5 PM.
But no one complained about eating late.
What a joke! A group of people were eating their portions of food like hungry tigers.
It's such a feast! There's plenty of rice, a meat dish, a vegetable dish, and a side of pickled vegetables.
There's hot water to drink after you've eaten your fill.
The local people and government officials who came to work felt incredibly fortunate.
After a hearty meal, the migrant workers, carrying their wages for the day, rice, and water, excitedly headed home.
Their faces were all beaming with smiles.
I haven't had meat in over a year, this meat smells so good!
Only Ouyang Yuqing and his group, along with everyone from the county government office, remained at the soup kitchen.
The county magistrate ordered his yamen runners to transport the unused grain and cooking utensils from the soup kitchen back to the county yamen warehouse, and that they could go home after cleaning up the soup kitchen.
The county magistrate personally led Ouyang Yuqing and his group to arrange their lodgings.
After arranging accommodations, Ouyang Yuqing told the county magistrate to go and rest.
After the couple went inside and closed the door, they teleported several times to the carriage caravan outside the city.
With her grandfather still here, Shen Yingying was naturally worried about him.
The horse-drawn carriage team had already begun to rest.
There was still a faint light in the old man's tent. Shen Yingying guessed that the old man was worried about her and had been waiting for them.
Ouyang Yuqing took Shen Yingying's hand and walked to Grandpa Mei's tent.
Shen Yingying called softly, "Grandpa, are you asleep?"
Grandpa Mei and the old housekeeper are worried about their eldest granddaughter in the tent.
The old man was complaining about why his eldest granddaughter hadn't returned yet when he heard Shen Yingying's voice.
The old man quickly called out to the outside of the tent, "Aren't you asleep? Come in."
Ouyang Yuqing lifted the tent flap to let Shen Yingying go in first, and he followed her into the tent.
The tent that Shen Yingying set up for the old man was quite large.
Two single beds were simply placed in the right corner of the tent.
To the left of the single bed was a low table, and around the table were blankets made of wolf skins that Shen Yingying had made.
The old man was chatting and drinking tea with the butler at the low table.
As soon as Shen Yingying entered the tent, she saw two old bachelors looking at them with worried eyes.
The old man couldn't contain his impatience and anxiously asked Shen Yingying, who had just entered the tent.
"Yingying, you've been walking for almost a day."
How's the situation in the city? How serious is the plague? Have you eaten?
No one has ever been able to cure this plague. Have you taken any precautions?
Blah blah blah...
Shen Yingying had a headache. She thought to herself, "This must be what happens when you care too much."
Seeing the old man babbling on and on, she didn't even know to answer his question first.
The old butler had been watching silently from the side, and he secretly chuckled when he saw Shen Yingying's twitching lips.
However, the old housekeeper did manage to get Shen Yingying out of the predicament.
"Master, you've been asking me questions ever since the girl came back."
You should give the child a chance to speak! ...
