Shui Qing didn't feel she was at a loss, nor did she think they didn't deserve to eat rice and flour.
Food is meant to be eaten; only wasting and squandering it is shameful.
These people in front of us are actually eating the food without wasting any of it; that's the best way to treat them.
She looked at the four men in front of her and gave them her usual instructions: "This grain was stockpiled before the flood. After the flood, the price of grain rose and it was brought back to the market, so it will be quite conspicuous. If you eat it all together, it should last you a year."
Hong Mancang's voice was excited: "Don't worry, Madam, we understand!"
How can you eat rice and wheat flour together? You have to be extremely frugal to afford it!
We can't just throw it all away right away.
The other three men nodded vigorously, unsure of what to do with their hands, too nervous to know what to do.
They went out to cook their own meals, and the lady even gave them so much rice and flour. She really cared about them!
Although there aren't many vegetables in the garden right now, my family and the villagers get along quite well. They occasionally bring some vegetables from their own gardens over, and soon the vegetables from their own gardens will grow enough to supply them.
If you eat a lot of grain at first, and then have more side dishes, you can save a lot of grain.
The lady said it would be no problem to eat it for a year, and they thought it could easily last for a year and a half. They said the potatoes had a particularly high yield, and if they planted them, they might be able to eat it for two years!
The four men thought the landlord would only give them one or two months' worth of food, and they would come to collect it every month thereafter. Unexpectedly, the landlord gave them a year's worth right away, which was too much for one cart to carry, so they had to take a portion home first.
Li Dani and Li Erni, who were waiting at home, rushed forward to help unload the grain when they saw the returning cart.
There was more grain on the truck than they thought!
It's enough to feed a family for three to five months.
After General Feng's car was lifted into the air, he waved to his younger brother, Feng Er, and said, "Let's go!"
Li Dani was taken aback, then quickly asked, "Wasn't the grain already brought back? Where is it going next?"
“Yes, today is the first day of moving, so we need to make a hot pot. With food, we can start preparing lunch,” Li Erni added.
Where are they going next?
Feng laughed loudly, "This is nothing! You have no idea how much extra grain the master has prepared! It will take two or three more trips to bring it all back. You'll be happy when it's all back."
However, while the grain can be loaded onto the cart, the oil jars still need to be handled carefully. It would be safer to have Feng Er carry them back.
All three of them were stunned.
Li Dani took a breath and pressed, "Several more cartloads? That's strange, how much grain is that?"
"Did you prepare the cooking oil too?"
"Not only that, there's also lard! Oh, there's too much, you'll have to wait until we bring it back to see for yourselves." Feng Da's honest face couldn't stop smiling.
When they went again, the four households sent several more people to accompany them.
It took four trips to transport all the allocated food back.
Li Dani and Li Erni inspected the grain and were overjoyed.
There were only the two women in the house, and they decided on the distribution of all the food. They felt like they had fallen into a rice jar, with so much food that all their anxiety disappeared.
It turns out that once you have enough food, all the anxiety, tension, and disappointment you feel when you arrive in a strange place will disappear!
I feel that the days ahead are full of hope and will all be good days.
The two first cut off a small piece of the smoked meat, and then hung the rest, along with the sausage, above the kitchen stove.
All the grain was moved to the innermost room of the house—their family couldn't compare to the landlord's, who had a separate storeroom.
