Chapter 826 The happiest days

At noon the next day, the imperial kitchen served several kinds of pickles.

From Emperor Mingpei to the Crown Prince to the Emperor's grandson, they are all pragmatic. The biggest advantage is that the people below them don't have to guess and can just do what they are told.

So although the plate looks good, the pickles are made very simply, using the true folk method.

Emperor Mingpei and Xinbao had never eaten these things before, but Yan Qingshan and Yan Shirong were not unfamiliar with them at all.

But the two of them still tasted them one by one, and everyone agreed that pickled radish was the best because it was easy to transport and did not spoil easily.

So I decided to use dried radish as the main dish.

Make less of other things, such as dumplings with fermented black beans.

For example, Yan Shifan could send the radishes now, so Xinbao hurriedly planted radishes, and Guanglu Temple also hurriedly bought radishes and started pickling them.

There was already a batch of radishes in Xinbao's space. Since Qingzhou was not in a hurry to send these supplies, he focused on Xidu first.

In Xidu, the number of people who migrated out is nearly two million, which is a huge number.

Moreover, after a major earthquake of magnitude 7 or above, there are usually several aftershocks. So to be on the safe side, it will take about half a year after the earthquake for people to be relocated back. Some people may not be relocated at all and must be resettled where they are.

During this period, not only accommodation but also a large amount of food and rice was consumed every day.

So, even though they had inventory before, they still never had too much supplies. A few hundred kilograms would only make a small difference if they were transported back and forth day after day.

Because the emperor's eldest grandson was also there, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites did not dare to be lazy and urged his subordinates to work overtime to refine the food. Then he added pickles and dehydrated vegetables provided by Xinbao. Xinbao even made some dried fruits and had them delivered to them, hoping that these people would have something to sweeten their mouths occasionally.

Wang Erya was a girl from a small village called Kaoshan Village in Xidu. She had never left the village in her life and didn’t even know what the county town looked like. Even if the adults wanted to go to the county town, they would only take her brother or younger brother with them, and it would not be her turn.

She was just like many other girls in the village. She wandered around the mountains and villages every day. She would get beaten if she wasn't careful, and it was common for her to go hungry.

Who knew that we would have to move so suddenly?

Every day she listened to the adults in the family talking about this and that, and packing this and that... The government said that if you can't move it, you can't move it, otherwise you will not be able to keep up with the team and no one will wait for you.

But apart from anything else, the house and the land cannot be moved!! The big bed and the big cabinet cannot be moved either!!

Grandpa, grandma, parents, and mother cried every day out of grief. The officials were very kind and often came to the village to persuade them. If you lose your life, you lose everything. These things can be earned back...

It didn't take too long before it was their turn to set off. Some of the self-confident fathers and sons who were carrying cabinets just said that the things were in the cabinets and they could definitely catch up by carrying them themselves.

The officials gave up trying to persuade them, but it was still okay if they carried the object for a mile and a half, but after carrying it for a whole morning, even the strongest man would not be able to lift it.

Not to mention eating every day, other people ran very fast to eat steamed buns and pancakes, and even meat, but they couldn't get any of it and could only eat porridge.

Finally, they made up their mind and threw the cabinet away. After all, they were all poor, and they were not the only ones. They should make a living first! !

It's the same in every family.

When they arrived at the resettlement site, the only thing everyone was reluctant to throw away was the food.

The places they lived in were all large bunk beds, with families grouped together to form a large bunk bed accommodating about 20 people.

After settling down and resting for two days, the strong laborers had to go to work, helping to build the big bunk bed or doing other things, but the food was good and they could eat their fill.

Moreover, with so many people living together, conflicts are inevitable. At first, there were disputes from time to time, but the officials patrolled every day, and one by one, they became kinder. Those who loved to swear, beat people, and take advantage of others no longer dared to do anything, for fear that they would be caught if they were not careful.

So, this turned out to be the happiest period of time for Wang Erya. She went to many places she had never been to, saw many things she had never seen before, was not beaten and rarely scolded, and was almost always well fed. Even once every half a month, she had a teacher come to teach her every day.

Learn to read in the morning and talk about books in the afternoon.

The teachers included those from the common people as well as officials. Most of the stories they told were simple and easy to understand, which even illiterate children could understand.

Now, not to mention the children, even the adults are very happy, as they can learn to read without spending any money. If they hadn’t come out, how could there be such a good thing?

Only adults, both men and women, have to work.

The officials did not force them to work, but if they worked, they would get paid. If they did not work, they would not get paid. Now that they had just lost their house and land, who would not want to earn more? Besides, they could learn a craft? Even the nine-year-old Wang Erya could work and help people weave straw mats.

She had been dexterous and fast since she was young, and could do the work of an adult. The government did not care about adults or children, and paid her wages based on the number of straw mats she made. She actually got more than her father. Gradually, even her grandparents smiled when they looked at her.

After work in the evening, everyone was preparing to eat, and someone outside called out, "Shedmaster, Shedmaster, come out to pick up the things!"

Now, ten greenhouses are considered a group, and they all elect a person to be in charge, who is called the greenhouse chief. When the government distributes things, the greenhouse chief takes people to receive them and then distributes them to them.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Things like food snatching that the people were worried about never happened. If you have a lot of food at home, it's your ability. If you don't have food, just go to work. If you are sick, you will be treated for free. Anyway, no one will ignore you.

In addition to their own food, the government also distributes food regularly. Every ten days or half a month, they also distribute meat, eggs, chickens, ducks and other items. If there are mosquitoes, they also provide mosquito repellent grass. It is very thoughtful. To be honest, it is better than life in the village!

So when they heard this, many people stuck their heads out to see: "What happened again?"

The shed master had already left with his men at the speed of lightning.

While eating dinner, everyone would occasionally look up.

I waited for more than half an hour before I saw the shed manager coming back pushing the cart.

Each family was used to it, and one person from each family had already gone out to line up, all talking and laughing at the same time, "What are you giving out, Chief?"

The shed manager laughed and said, "As for the distributing vegetables, the government officials said that this vegetable can be eaten after soaking in water, and they also distributed pickled vegetables."

As they talked, they began to distribute the food. They were all acquaintances, and they remembered the members of each family clearly. They distributed the food according to the number of people. The people who received the food shouted from time to time: "Wow, why is it so light? What kind of food is this?"

"What kind of dish is it that involves taking off clothes!"

"What do you mean by taking off clothes? Don't talk nonsense! It's dehydration! Dehydrated vegetables. They say that if you don't eat vegetables for a long time, your health will be bad. There are no wild vegetables around, so they want us to mix them with vegetables. Fresh ones are not good for you and will spoil easily, so they remove the water."

The people around him were amazed: “Wow!!!”

After one end was divided, someone pointed and asked, "What is this?"

"Oh, yes," the shed master picked it up carefully and said, "Everyone bring a bowl."

These people quickly turned around and went back to get bowls. The head of the shed said, "The official said that these are fruit slices made by the fairy princess herself. Let everyone try two slices to sweeten their mouths and say..."

He asked the person next to him: "How did you say that?"
