Chapter 131 Eating, Potatoes and Meat
When they heard it was steamed buns, everyone worked harder. They even had the illusion that they smelled the fragrance of meat.
Soon it was time for dinner and everything was ready in full swing.
Let the children playing nearby come over to eat first.
Only after the children had finished eating did Old Man Su come to where everyone was working and shouted, "Everyone stop, eat and fill your stomach first, and then take a break in the afternoon before continuing."
A huge group of people ran towards the cooking area.
Su Laosan stood in front and knocked the iron spoon in his hand, "Don't mess around, line up first, everyone has one."
"You can line up in two rows over here," said Wang Taoxiu. Everyone looked over and saw a few large wooden barrels with a few women standing next to them.
These women also had spoons and spatulas in their hands. A few of them were sharp-eyed and nimble enough to move to another row, and the people behind them followed closely.
The men at the front of the line became nervous when they saw that it was their wives serving them food and scooping out a huge spoonful.
"Don't worry, everyone is the same. The master has specifically instructed that everyone must eat a full meal so that they have the strength to work."
When the men heard what their wives said, they breathed a sigh of relief and walked aside with a big bowl of food and two white steamed buns in their hands.
Looking at the full bowl, I wonder what kind of roasted meat it is.
I just felt a burst of fragrance, and the alluring aroma went straight into my nose.
When the people in the front row got their food, they exclaimed, "There's meat!"
When the people in the front row said this, those behind them exclaimed in amazement.
Not to mention now when food is so expensive, even before that people rarely ate meat.
Who doesn’t celebrate the New Year? Those who don’t celebrate the festival will cook meat.
Those at the end of the line felt like they were being pecked by ants, thinking, "We are at the end, will there be no space left by the time it's our turn?"
"Yes, there are so many people, alas."
"It's okay, it's good enough to have something to eat. Look at all those white flour buns over there, there must be enough for us to share. Even if there is no vegetable, two buns will be good enough (?▽?)".
A man at the edge suddenly sighed and said, "I just don't know if these two gifts are enough for the kids in my family. These little brats are really eating me into poverty."
But when I think about it, those were white flour buns, which were no better than the two bowls of water given at the city gate.
The people queuing now are all working men and women.
They all agreed that if they were just given meals, they would naturally not want to eat the meals and would save them for their own children.
No one noticed that the children had already eaten, and some of them even had eggs in their hands.
Su Muyao had already arranged for the children to eat first while the men were still working over there.
Although there were many children in this group, each of them was very well-behaved. She saw that almost all the eggs were not eaten by the children.
At that time, I also wanted to leave the potatoes and pork for my parents.
It was only after their father showed the children the several large buckets of braised potatoes and meat that they believed that their parents also had some.
Only then did they feel at ease to eat, and even though there were so many eggs distributed to each person, they kept one.
When the people who had finished their meal went to their children, they found that there was still oil on the children's mouths.
At first glance, it’s obvious that he’s just eaten meat: “Come and try it, this is meat.”
"Mother, I've already eaten."
After saying that, he took out the boiled egg from his pocket.
"This is for you. I saved it especially for you. The uncle said that everyone has meat and potatoes stew, and we kids have one more egg than you."
"I ate a whole bowl of potatoes and meat stew today. The potatoes were super delicious. By the way, the uncle said this is called potatoes, so eat it quickly."
When the woman heard her son say this, she hugged the child in her arms.
"My dear, I won't eat it. I'll save it for you to eat when you're hungry."
After saying that, he quickly turned his back, lowered his head and ate the stewed potatoes and meat in the bowl, with two white steamed buns in his hand.
What no one saw was that when she lowered her head, her tears dropped into the bowl.
She knew that she couldn't leave out the stewed potatoes and meat since it was so hot, so she ate the dish slowly.
The steamed buns would not go bad even if they were kept for a day or half a day. I went to my luggage and found a piece of clean cloth to wrap them.
Many people had this idea. Su Muyao lay down in front of her father and muttered something.
Su Laosan came to the crowd and said to everyone, "Don't leave these buns behind. Eat them. Eat them without worry. As long as you work hard here, I will provide you with two meals a day.
We can only have strength if we are full, so as long as we don’t slack off, we will have enough food and clothing.”
At this time, a man in the crowd raised his trembling hand.
Seeing this, Su Laosan asked quickly: "Brother, is there anything you want to say? Just say it directly."
"That's a bit too much for my children, but don't worry, I will do my job well. I can give my share to my children. I just hope you don't chase me away."
As soon as he said this, many people in the crowd looked nervous. Many families had many children, and some saved food for their children, while the adults at home starved to death.
Su Muyao looked at these families, most of whom were elderly, weak, women and children, and the whole place looked very messy.
A little girl who looked only six or seven years old was blinking at Su Muyao.
When Old Man Su saw this, he felt a sharp pain. These refugees looked pale, thin, and had lifeless eyes.
When he glanced over, all those people lowered their heads and dared not look at him.
When I think about it, if it weren’t for my own daughter, I might not be much better than them.
Then I thought about my daughter's immortal master. Those who are favored by the immortals must have great merits. As a father, I should set an example and do more good deeds.
He sighed softly, "Alas, the people are the ones who suffer in this world after all."
Su Muyao said to her father: "If we pay these workers normal wages, they will be able to support their wives, children and parents at home."
I originally wanted to let my father talk to him, but seeing him so sad.
He turned around and shouted directly to the crowd: "If you were paid according to normal silver, it would be enough to feed the children at home under normal circumstances, but the price of grain in the capital is extremely expensive now.
For everyone’s consideration, we can make an exception and provide food and drink for everyone in the first month, including all the children in the family can eat with everyone.”
"But after the second month, I will give money to everyone, and then these children will not be able to eat with us. I need to make this clear to everyone first."
