Regent, the princess you found is a treasure
Chapter 94: Free porridge and hot packs
The cold winter arrived on time as promised, but this year it was unusually cold. At first people did not pay much attention to the severe cold, until a heavy snow fell for six days and seven nights, and the snow was as deep as an adult's waist. Only then did they realize that this winter was different and especially cold.
This is just the scene inside the city. The snow outside the city is even thicker, and all the roads leading to the city are buried in the vast snow. At the same time, the supply of food and various materials outside the city is completely cut off. Faced with this situation, the grain store owners in the city took the opportunity to raise prices. Although Xuan Moyin took measures to intervene, the price of food is still too high for many poor families to afford.
In addition, the demand for charcoal has become urgent. Usually wealthy families will store enough charcoal in advance to survive the cold winter. Even in such a severe cold season as this year, as long as it is used sparingly, it is enough to last through the entire winter.
However, this is not the case for poor families, most of whom can only rely on hard work to get through the winter. But for the elderly and children in the family, such days are really hard to endure.
Xuan Moyin sent out guards, and officers and soldiers from Jingzhao Prefecture also went out to do their best to clear a road more than one person wide on every street in the capital, big and small, so that the people could go out and walk.
The rich people in the capital may not care about a few days of heavy snow, because they usually have a lot of food stored at home. But for the poor common people, they cannot work due to the heavy snow, and the family will soon run out of food. Eating becomes a problem, and even charcoal for heating becomes a problem.
And all this was what Su Luoxue had anticipated.
So the Regent Palace built a large porridge shed in the city, with four large pots, two of which were used to cook steaming white rice porridge, and two of which were used to steam large steamed buns. There were also people handing out free hot packs to everyone, and there were also people who specifically explained how to use this thing.
After trying it, everyone found that this magical thing would actually generate heat when placed on the body through clothes, making people feel warm.
Everyone can come and get a bag every day. Each bag contains 10 small packets. Many people are reluctant to use the packets they receive and take them home for their parents and children.
There was porridge to drink, steamed buns to receive, and something called a warm pack that could generate heat. The people in the city spread the word, and every day many people lined up to get porridge, steamed buns, and warm packs.
Early this morning, Su Luoxue, like the previous few days, brought Meixiang, Banxia, Baizhi, the palace's guards, and servants to cook rice porridge early, as well as big steamed buns that were steaming hot and filled with wheat aroma.
Su Luoxue and Meixiang made porridge, two servants from the palace distributed steamed buns to everyone, and Banxia and Baizhi were responsible for distributing hot packs.
The porridge they cook is made with pure rice, and the porridge is relatively thick, not the kind of watery porridge that can be seen with soup. There are also steamed buns, each of which is as big as an adult man's fist.
The people lined up consciously and got porridge, steamed buns, and a bag of hot packs in an orderly manner.
An old lady came forward with a little boy of four or five years old. As soon as they arrived in front of the porridge stall, they knelt down with the child and kowtowed three times to Su Luoxue. Seeing this, Su Luoxue quickly put down the porridge spoon in her hand, stepped forward to help the old lady up: "Old man, if you have anything to say, please stand up and tell me. I am too young to be worthy of your worship."
When the old lady was queuing just now, she had asked the guards of the palace and learned that Su Luoxue was the future princess of the palace. This porridge stall was also built by the princess and the prince together, and the hot pack was also given by the princess to everyone for use.
"No, you deserve it, you deserve it. An old woman and my poor grandson depend on each other for survival. We usually make a living by washing clothes for others. On this snowy day, if it weren't for the porridge shed built by you, Princess, and the steamed buns, and the god-like warm baby that keeps my grandson and I warm, I'm afraid that within a few days, we would have starved to death or frozen to death at home."
As the old lady spoke, she burst into tears and said loudly: "Princess, you are the savior of our ancestors and grandchildren. You are the Bodhisattva Guanyin who came to earth to save us poor people."
After the old woman said this, those who were queuing behind her, as well as those who had already received their gifts, all knelt down and shouted loudly: "Regent Princess, Guanyin Bodhisattva has descended to the earth! Regent Princess, Guanyin Bodhisattva has descended to the earth." As they spoke, they kowtowed.
Each of them was sincerely grateful to Su Luoxue and the Regent. Most people here had come to get porridge, steamed buns and hot packs for several days. Originally, their families were out of food, and faced with such extremely cold weather, many people were ready to die, but they couldn't bear to leave their children, as the children were still so young.
At this time, the Regent's Palace built a porridge stall and provided free porridge and steamed buns. The porridge was thicker than what they usually cooked at home, and there were also hot packs. This treasure made their children no longer complain of being cold when they slept at night, and they could get one every day. Originally, they were reluctant to use it themselves, but because they could get one every day, they would put one or two pieces on themselves, and their bodies would immediately feel warm.
Not even the nobles in the palace have such a magical treasure, only the gods in heaven can use it. So who else could the regent princess who took out this treasure be but Guanyin Bodhisattva?
When Meixiang, Banxia, Baizhi, and the servants and guards of the Regent's Palace saw that the people all called the princess Guanyin Bodhisattva, they couldn't help but feel a sense of identity. Especially the guards and servants, they were deeply touched. You know, in such cold weather, if they didn't have the warmth of the two or three hot packs on their bodies, they would have been shivering with cold.
This novel item was like a miracle to them. After all, they had never seen such a wonderful thing before. Therefore, they deeply agreed with the common people's view - how could such a treasure be owned by mortals? Only the gods in heaven could possibly own such a magical thing!
Facing the praise from the crowd, Su Luoxue quickly asked everyone to stand up and said modestly: "You are all too kind. I am not a god. I am no different from you. I am just doing my best." Then, she signaled to the guards to let the people continue to line up in an orderly manner to receive the porridge.
However, in the hearts of the people, Su Luoxue has become a fairy who descended from the sky, and she is also a beautiful, kind and benevolent fairy. Her good deeds are like a spring breeze, warming everyone's heart.
