After time travel, my best friend and I exchanged supplies and became a rich woman
Chapter 479: Giving Porridge
Two more days passed.
The runners from the government office began to carry pumpkin porridge and yam porridge and distribute them throughout the city.
Liaocheng is divided into four urban areas: north, south, east and west. Because the north and south urban areas are most densely populated with ordinary people, the government offices set up four porridge distribution points in these two places.
There are two urban areas, the east one has more rich people, and most of the families do not need outside assistance, so they only set up a porridge distribution point at the intersection of East Street.
In addition, West City is the smallest and the least convenient place for transportation in the city, so it has the smallest population and therefore only has two porridge distribution points.
The government office stipulated that at the beginning of the third hour every day, each household could send two people to get porridge.
Each adult can have two bowls of porridge per day, children under seven years old can have one bowl of porridge, and people over sixty years old can have one bowl of porridge per day.
For the people of Liaocheng, this was the first time in their lives that they saw the government doing good deeds.
Therefore, even those people who were not short of food for the time being, hurriedly ran to get porridge in their own big bowls.
I’m afraid that if I go too late and can’t get the porridge, I’ll lose a lot!
When we arrived at the soup kitchen, we were told we had to queue.
Some arrogant ones shouted at the yamen runners who were maintaining order:
queue?!
What's the queue? !
I've never queued in my life!
Then he was caught.
The arresting officer said that the rebels were rampant outside and those who were arrested would be sent directly to the battlefield.
The yamen runners told everyone to crowd in, as they were not afraid of being sent into exile and being scolded by the prefect.
The middle-aged men who were crowded at the front were so frightened that they lined up immediately.
As a kind-hearted person who donated food, Chen Dongyue was invited by Mr. Sun to participate in the first porridge-giving activity.
She chose the spot in South City Delicious Restaurant.
That’s right, Chen Dongyue temporarily lent Delicious House to the government office to use as a porridge distribution point.
Because there is a stove in this place, it is very convenient to cook porridge, so it is most suitable to use it as a porridge distribution point.
Furong, Shaoyao and others, who were so idle that they were about to have maggots, specially applied to help cook and distribute porridge.
So on this day, at this time in Delicious Zhai, five large buckets of pumpkin and yam porridge were put out in a row.
The first person who came to ask for porridge brought a large soup bowl. He said there were five adults and three children in his family, three of whom were over 60 years old, and the other three children were eight, nine, and ten years old.
Chen Dongyue nodded and asked him, "Name and address, please tell me."
The man hesitated and asked, "Why are you asking this?"
"Nothing. If you want porridge, just tell me your name. If you don't want to tell me your name, just go away and don't delay others." After saying that, Chen Dongyue winked at Ji Pengfei beside her.
Ji Pengfei, who was tall and strong, whispered to the man who refused to give his name: "Come to the side~~~"
Hong Xiang, who was sitting next to Ji Pengfei, rolled his eyes and shouted, "Hey! Didn't you hear what Director Chen said? Hurry up and tell me your name!"
The people behind were also cursing, telling that person to sign up quickly and not waste other people's time.
Although everyone has nothing to do at home, this does not stop them from rushing to get the porridge!
So the man could only stammer and give his address and name.
The clerk sitting next to Hong Xiang flipped open the document file...
"Your family was divided last year, and now you are the head of the household. There are four people in your family, two adults and two children, and the children are all under seven years old!" said the clerk, pointing to the names on the household registration book.
"Catch him, catch him!" Chen Dongyue shouted impatiently to the bailiff who was maintaining order not far away.
The man cried out for mercy: "I didn't mean to do that! I just separated from my family, didn't I forget for a moment?! I was wrong, I was wrong, can't I just give up this porridge?!"
"No way!" The speaker was Ma Jingcheng who happened to be on patrol. "If everyone is as dishonest as you, what will you do with the elderly, the weak, the women and the children? Come on, arrest him!"
The two constables directly held down the man and temporarily tied him up aside.
Chen Dongyue knocked on the porridge bucket with a spoon, "I reiterate again, this is a special period, the government has provided food to help everyone tide over the difficulties. You can't rob, and you can't lie. Otherwise, the two people over there will be a lesson for you. Don't you understand?!"
The people below responded sporadically, saying they understood.
More people were shouting, "Hurry up and serve! Is this really a free porridge distribution?!"
Ma Jingcheng flashed to the side of the questioner, kicked him twice, and then dragged the person who was making trouble to the back of the team.
........The few people who were noisy and making a fuss nearby suddenly shut up.
The porridge distribution team finally had good order.
Chen Dongyue and his colleagues began to distribute porridge in an orderly manner.
First report your name, then verify it, and then fill out a porridge receipt on the spot.
The porridge certificate would clearly state how many bowls of porridge the family should receive, and then Chen Dongyue and the others who served the porridge would distribute the porridge to the people accordingly.
The first time I got the porridge, the process was slower because I needed to verify my information and then write the porridge certificate on the spot.
But from now on, people can just take this certificate to get the porridge directly, and it won’t be so slow.
"Oh my God!" Furong, who was distributing porridge, suddenly shouted, "Auntie, are you kidding me? Why don't you bring a jar over?!"
Hearing Furong's shout, everyone looked over.
Good guy.
It was a woman in her fifties, holding a large bowl that could be used as a washbasin, and asked Furong to fill it up for her.
"It's just a bowl," the old lady said in a very contemptuous voice, "You didn't say how big the bowl was..."
"Auntie, remember, one bowl of porridge is three spoonfuls," Chen Dongyue explained, "no matter whether your bowl is big or small, one bowl is three spoonfuls."
"Who decided that...you didn't tell me before...my grandson has a big appetite, and he won't be full from a small bowl." The old lady's voice was still weak.
But there was a shrewd light in his eyes.
Of course, this is what Chen Dongyue thinks.
Furong groaned, "If you're not full, add more water before eating!"
"My grandson doesn't like thin porridge~~~Besides, there don't seem to be many grains of rice in your bowl, they're all pumpkin and yam~~~~My grandson doesn't like yam, next time~~~~~"
Before the old lady could finish her words, she was interrupted by Furong, "If your grandson doesn't like to eat, don't come next time! If you have your own food, just cook rice porridge for your eldest grandson, okay?!
The government office provided free porridge, but they didn't collect a single penny from you. Why are you being so picky? If you are sick, go see a doctor. Don't act crazy here!"
"You little girl, why do you talk like that~~~~~" The old lady's eyes turned red.
Chen Dongyue immediately advised her, "Don't be angry, Auntie. Our Furong is a straightforward person and speaks very honestly. So, I'll make the decision..."
The old lady raised her head and looked at Chen Dongyue expectantly.
She has thought of all the words she wants to praise people.
But then Chen Dongyue said, "Come here, please take the old lady down and tie her up with the two men. I think the old lady is still strong and maybe she can fight well?!"
The old lady was so frightened that she kept shouting "I'm going to die" and ran away with the basin in her arms.
Seeing that the person had run away, Chen Dongyue knocked on the porridge bucket again and declared again: "I'll say it again! A bowl of porridge is three spoonfuls! If you bring a jar, it's also three spoonfuls. Do you understand?!
Don't ask me who made the decision, just ask Prefect Meng! If you think something is wrong, just turn left and you will find the Prefect's Office. Just go and ask the Prefect!
Okay, keep going!!!"
The first day's porridge distribution operation lasted from morning to noon.
When closing the stall, Chen Dongyue said that it was a good thing that the weather was not too hot, otherwise the porridge would have gone bad.
Everyone who was eating the porridge burst into laughter.
"I won't come tomorrow," Chen Dongyue said to Furong, "You will be in charge of this place from now on. I will leave Ji Pengfei and Hong Xiang here for you. Ma Jingcheng will also send people to maintain order, so you can do your job without worry."
"Don't worry~~~ Just go and do your own thing. We have sisters here!" Furong patted her chest and said.
Oh, she must be bored after being locked up in the yard for so long.
Although it was tiring to distribute porridge, Furong felt that she could use her damn charm again~~~~she was so happy in her heart.
Chen Dongyue said: "I'm not busy, I'm just lazy."
Everyone laughed for a while before Chen Dongyue said goodbye and left.
If you say Chen Dongyue is lazy, she is really a bit lazy.
But...she has been feeling uneasy these days.
I don't know why my heart is always hanging there.
I always feel that although Liaocheng seems quite safe, it must have many loopholes.
So she wanted to wander around the city more.
What if... I run into a spy or something?
Her intuition told her that the more nervous she seemed, the less nervous she should be.
But the more everything seems to be stabilizing, the more we must remain vigilant.
details make a difference!
"Hey!!! Boys!!!" Chen Dongyue, who was thinking about something, shouted to a group of little beggars who suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley.
The little beggars stopped and bowed to Chen Dongyue tremblingly, saying, "Chen, Director Chen, let's go back immediately!"
"Eh?! You...are friends of Dang Xin and the others, right?!" Chen Dongyue asked.
The leading beggar responded: "Yeah, yes. We don't want to violate the curfew, it's mainly because we haven't had food for several days, so..."
"Didn't you go to ask for the porridge just now?" Chen Dongyue asked.
Then he suddenly slapped his head again, "Yes! You have to register to eat porridge! You don't have a household registration, right?"
The little beggars nodded repeatedly.
"Come with me," Chen Dongyue waved to the little beggars, "You can go to Ci'an Hall to get porridge later. I will just tell my mother-in-law."
"Really?!" The little beggar was very happy, "We are not from Ci'an Hall, is it okay?"
"Okay, I'll give it to you!" Chen Dongyue patted the little beggar's head with a smile.
.......So sticky.
"Ask Dang Xin to give you some water to wash later. You kid... flies can't escape if they land on your hair!" Chen Dongyue chattered to the little beggar beside him while riding a horse.
