Chapter 163 Wang Beiguo Su
Su Ying was half asleep when she heard a slight noise from the door. She opened her eyes and saw Xiao Jin walking in. It was still pitch black outside.
She mumbled something and turned over to sleep again.
Xiao Jin glanced at Su Ying who was sleeping particularly soundly, the corners of his lips slightly raised, then he took off his dusty coat, lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
When Bai Shuang woke up the next day, she found that the house where she had housed those handsome boys the night before was empty.
"Huh? Where are the people? Did they go to clean the pigsty so early in the morning?" Bai Shuang ran to the pigsty and found that the poop was still in the pigsty and had not been cleaned up.
"Could it be that Madam asked them to do something else?" Bai Shuang walked to the front yard and found Su Ying had just come out of the house.
"Morning, ma'am."
"Good morning." Su Ying got up late today and did not go to practice.
"Ma'am, have they all gone to work?"
Su Ying asked with some confusion, "Who?"
"It was those young men I brought back yesterday. I found that they were all missing."
"Gone?" Su Ying walked to the empty backyard and looked around. As expected, there was no one inside. She went back to the front yard to find Wang Su, who had been on guard last night.
"Wang Su, did you see those young men yesterday?"
Wang Su's expression was stiff for a moment as he said, "I saw them. They said they all had parents and missed them, so I let them go."
Su Ying: “???”
Wang Su knew that Su Ying looked at him as if he were a fool, but thinking of what the master said, he still gritted his teeth and withstood the pressure and said, "Madam, they are really pitiful! If you want to punish them, then punish me!"
Su Ying glanced at him coldly, "From now on, you will be responsible for cleaning the pigpen and the chicken coop."
"yes!"
After Su Ying turned around and went to the backyard to wash up, Wang Su saw Bai Shuang staring at him with disbelief.
"Brother Wang."
"What's wrong?"
"Is your brain filled with pig shit?"
Wang Su: “…” I am wronged!
Bai Shuang sighed helplessly, "How can a good person become so stupid?"
Wang Su had a sad face. He turned around and saw Xiao Jin coming out of the house. He tried to seek some comfort, "Master..."
"Go sweep the pigsty."
King. Take the blame. Su!
Tian Mu found Su Ying and said, "Madam, we dug a lot of pits yesterday and prepared the wood. We plan to start burning charcoal today."
"Well, I'll go with you guys today."
"yes."
After a short breakfast, everyone got busy with their own things.
Su Ying asked the people in the West District to do some work, and provided them with lunch every day and two potatoes or a handful of coarse grains per person at night. It was not that she did not want to give more, but the food storage in her space was limited. There were hundreds of people here, and the consumption would be huge over a few days.
Although the food is not much, at least it will not make people so hungry that they don’t have the strength to work.
The pit was dug on a piece of open space that was relatively high and close to the stream. When Su Ying and the others arrived, No. 1 and his team had already gathered a hundred people from the North District and arrived.
"Madam, everyone is here." Seeing Su Ying coming, No. 1 stepped forward to report the situation.
Su Ying nodded and walked up to those people, "Has anyone made charcoal before?"
Everyone in the team shook their heads. Just as Su Ying was about to continue, a thin middle-aged man raised his hand and said in a weak voice, "I, I've had a fever before."
His voice was not loud, but Su Ying still heard it, "Come out."
The man walked out of the crowd and came to Su Ying.
"What's your name? Have you ever burned charcoal before?"
The man nodded. "My name is Mu Tou. I used to work in the charcoal shop."
Su Ying raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that there really were skilled workers.
"Can you make good charcoal under the current conditions?"
“It may not be easy to make the best charcoal, but good quality charcoal can be made as long as the burning time and ventilation are well controlled.”
Su Ying nodded and said, "If you can teach everyone how to make good charcoal, I will give you a cow as a reward."
A cow!
This made the young man, who hadn't tasted meat for who knows how long, excited. "I'll try my best to make a good charcoal fire."
"Then it's up to you. Tell everyone what they need to pay attention to first."
"good."
The young man was a little timid at first when facing so many people, but gradually he became more confident as he talked about his professional field, and his voice became higher.
Su Ying was listening on the side. The theoretical knowledge he talked about was similar to what she had recorded in classical materials. Many details of the knowledge were not mentioned in the tree, but he could talk about it fluently, which showed that he was really very familiar with this aspect.
"Everyone, do as he says. If you don't understand, ask immediately. Don't operate blindly. Five people will form a group to form a pit. Those who can successfully light a charcoal fire for the first time will get a share of the meat. Everyone, be careful. This is not for me, but for you to have a warm winter."
At Su Ying's command, everyone started working enthusiastically.
Su Ying also came to the earth pit and planned to try it again herself. After all, it is always good to learn more things.
She didn't understand it before, but after listening to this young man she realized that there are certain rules for placing firewood when burning charcoal. If the firewood is placed well, it can burn fully and the charcoal produced will be of better quality.
After stacking the firewood, Su Ying called a young man to check it. After making sure there was no problem, she lit the firewood from the bottom.
"Madam, a lot of people have come downstairs, saying they are looking for you." Su Ying had just covered the pit when she saw Tian Mu running over.
"Looking for me? Who?"
“They said they were from the West End, too.”
After Su Ying finished digging the pit, she went down the mountain where a dozen young men were waiting. When they saw Su Ying appear, they came forward and bowed to her humbly.
"Madam Su."
When Su Ying saw their flowery words, she remembered that they were the scholars that he had asked No. 1 and his team to pick out separately. However, after picking them out, she forgot to make specific arrangements. In fact, it was not that she had forgotten, but that she had not made any arrangements yet.
"What's the matter?"
A dozen people looked at each other with hesitation on their faces. After waiting for a while, they mustered up the courage to say, "We want to ask Madam Su what arrangements we have for us. Now that we have surrendered to the East District, everyone has started to work, but we are still idle at home, and we feel very uneasy."
"You're too hungry?"
this……
These words were so direct that their faces turned red. They never thought that Su Ying would hit the pain point so directly. It was really, too embarrassing.
"Yes, it is true that we have no food at home, but we still have a wife and children at home. We really had no other choice but to find Madam Su."
