I was a queen in ancient times, no, a maid!

After Zhao Shiyan left, Cheng Yu returned to the porridge stall.

Lotus and Peach had already started cooking porridge, and several women around helped by carrying firewood.

After Cheng Yu arrived, he gave the cakes he brought from home to several children and elderly people.

"Don't rush to grab them. There aren't many cakes. We brought them from home. Let's give them to the elderly and children first. Who doesn't have elderly and children at home? We adults can handle it, but the elderly and children will have a hard time."

Cheng Yu said loudly.

At this time, a wise-looking uncle walked out of the crowd.

"Everyone, don't worry. This young lady is right. If there is any food, give it to the elderly and children first."

"Who among you doesn't have parents or elders? Who doesn't have children? You're all rushing to stuff food into your mouths. Don't lick your face and snatch food from children and elders."

"If I saw him, I would definitely give him a few slaps in the face."

Sure enough, the uncle's words fell.

A few young people who were still thinking of grabbing a piece of food withdrew their hands in shame.

The serious uncle turned his head and looked at Cheng Yu with a faint smile on his face.

"What is this lady's name? Don't worry, if you run into any trouble in the future, tell me and I'll call for you."

Cheng Yu hurriedly said, "My last name is Cheng, uncle, what's your name?"

"My last name is Liu. Most of the refugees here are from Liujiazhuang. I'm pretty good at talking."

A young man shouted, "This is the head of our village."

Uncle Liu said, "You've become a refugee, so why are you still a village head?"

Cheng Yu looked at Uncle Liu, thinking that before the snowstorm, he was considered a respectable and well-known person in the village.

He said to him, "Uncle, don't worry, the court is already working on your placement."

"How did the girl know?"

Cheng Yu said, "Uncle, didn't you see? The court has sent people to build refugee shelters for you. I believe that soon after this winter is over, the court will help you build houses."

Uncle Liu was busy clasping his hands together and bowing.

"Your Majesty is wise and wise, long live Your Majesty..."

Cheng Yu was afraid that porridge alone would not be nutritious enough, so he made meat porridge and put some diced radish in it. Not only was it delicious to eat, but just the smell of it was delicious.

What Cheng Yu wanted was to try his best to make delicious food with the ingredients he had.

Unexpectedly, her excessive kindness brought her some trouble.

There was no problem at first, but later, for some reason, the refugees from the southernmost part of the country ate the meat porridge made by Cheng Yu and started telling everyone that the porridge in their porridge shed was delicious, fragrant, and had minced meat.

By the time the meal started in the afternoon, people from other refugee tents also crowded in, causing the porridge here to be distributed last, and there was no porridge left. Nearly twenty or thirty people still had no food to eat.

Even more unfortunate was that Zhenyuan Hou Yang Huaiyuan also came.

He asked angrily, "Who is responsible for cooking the porridge here?"

Cheng Yu was thinking of a solution. He was afraid it was too late to make porridge now, so he thought of going to other porridge stalls to see if there was any left.

Hearing someone shouting angrily, she hurried out of the kitchen.

"Sir, I am the one who cooks in this porridge shed."

When Yang Huaiyuan saw that the person who came out was a pretty young lady, he frowned and asked, "Why is it a woman? There is no one else?"

Cheng Yu was not angry, and patiently explained to him: "I heard someone shouting on the street that the porridge stall was short of manpower, so I brought two sisters to help with some work."

"I don't know what happened today. Why did it suddenly happen? This dinner is not enough."

Yang Huaiyuan knew that she really did it with good intentions, so he didn't want to make things difficult for her.

He said, "The refugees outside the city came from two towns, with a total of more than 3,000 people, not counting the children. They were divided into four refugee camps, and the number of people was evenly divided. There are two porridge stalls in one refugee tent. There are too many people coming to your porridge stall. I asked the people below, and they said that the food cooked by the cook in this refugee tent is delicious, so many people came here privately."

A deputy general beside Yang Huaiyuan whispered, "I think they are still not very hungry. At this time, they still care about whether the food is delicious or not."

Only then did Cheng Yu understand.

Then he said, "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't think too much about it. I just thought that I came from home and brought some rice, noodles, meat and vegetables. I saw that everyone was very pitiful, so I gave them some minced meat and vegetable morsels."

"I didn't expect to cause you so much trouble."

"Sir, please find another cook. When the cook comes, I will go back and will not cause any more trouble for you."

In fact, it is really not easy for three people to cook for more than 500 people.

She was so busy that the hair around her ears fell down.

Yang Huaiyuan looked at her and said, "You are a good talker, young lady."

"This matter is indeed your fault. The porridge distributed must be the same, otherwise it will cause dissatisfaction among other refugees. There are quite a lot of them. If a disturbance occurs because of a bowl of porridge, I and all the other people in charge of the refugees will be punished."

Cheng Yu's eyes turned red, she really didn't think that much.

Yang Huaiyuan felt so pitiful for her that he couldn't bear to say anything more.

Then he said, "Fortunately, we found it in time. Tomorrow, just make plain porridge without adding anything else."

"Don't cry."

Cheng Yu hummed, turned her back and wiped her tears. In fact, she felt wronged.

At the beginning, she came to rescue the refugees with great ambitions. She just wanted breastfeeding mothers to eat more good food so that they could produce milk for their children, wanted the elderly whose legs were frostbitten to eat something nutritious, and wanted the children to have a delicious meal.

Gorge is just a simple kind of rice porridge.

All she wanted was to make it more interesting, that's all.

However, he was scolded fiercely by the official in front of him.

"Yes, I will remember what you said."

The deputy general beside Yang Huaiyuan whispered, "My Lord, you are too harsh. This young lady doesn't take salary or money, and she even brought food, meat, and vegetables to feed the refugees. She is a kind-hearted young lady. What you said is too serious."

"Look, it scared everyone to tears."

It would have been better if the deputy general didn't say anything. Once he started talking, Yang Huaiyuan felt even more guilty and self-blame.

"Madam, I'll leave this porridge stall to you. If there's any trouble, call Yang Jun."

Yang Jun was Yang Huaiyuan's deputy general.

He turned to look at Yang Jun, "You are responsible for these three refugee sheds. No trouble is allowed."

Yang Jun nodded immediately.

Yang Huaiyuan turned around and went somewhere else. Cheng Yu suddenly remembered that some refugees had not had any food yet, so she immediately stopped Yang Huaiyuan.

"Sir, there are still more than 30 refugees here who have not received any food. Can you please send the undistributed porridge from other porridge stalls here?"

Yang Huaiyuan said: "Let Yang Jun do it."

"Yang Jun, listen to this lady's orders."

Yang Jun was reluctant. He was the deputy general of the marquis. How could he listen to the orders of a little girl? It would lower his status.

Shouldn't the young lady listen to him?

When Yang Jun brought the leftover porridge from other porridge stalls.

Cheng Yu heated it up slightly and distributed it to the refugees who did not get any porridge.

She, Lotus and Taozi didn't eat anything all day and just roasted some sweet potatoes.

One was also given to Yang Jun.

After eating the sweet potatoes roasted by Cheng Yu, Yang Jun, who was grateful for the favor, naturally started to help Cheng Yu, and he did it very efficiently.
