The little cook in the book has fallen asleep

After the flood receded, the people of Jianshui Prefecture, led by Cheng Yiyu and his two brothers, began post-disaster reconstruction.

But this is also the most difficult task in flood control, and it is also the key to testing the officials' abilities in all aspects.

Cheng Yiyu led a group of people to first carry out comprehensive cleanup work in the disaster-stricken areas and conduct thorough disinfection.

The disinfectant powder used this time was the lime powder that Cheng Yu obtained when he signed in today.

At the same time, Cheng Zhiwen led another team to clean up the mud, dirt and various debris, and disinfect them.

Cheng Liyao led a team of people to clean and disinfect, maintain damaged furniture, floors, walls and other items, and disinfect the houses that were still there.

The disinfectant they used was also produced by Cheng Yu's system. After Cheng Yu received it, he asked Cheng Zhiwen and Cheng Liyao to dilute it into two pools of clean water and sprinkle it on the items that needed to be disinfected.

"Sister, please don't go out for the next two days. There is news that plague has broken out in other states and refugees have come to our side!" Cheng Yiyu suddenly felt very fortunate.

Because they have the help of their sister, there has been no plague so far, otherwise they might be in more trouble than other states.

However, if the situation in Jianshui Prefecture is good, many refugees will run here, and some of them will inevitably carry the plague.

"That's right, sister. You just stay in the provincial capital to handle your affairs. As for the refugees, the three of us will go and check on the situation!" Cheng Zhiwen was also persuading his sister.

My sister's smoked fish has reached the stage of drying. The people who participated in the fishing activity last time also received the silver that Cheng Yu paid for the smoked fish. They either received rice or silver.

After every disaster, there will be a situation where the rich live in luxury and the poor freeze to death on the streets. If the bodies are not handled properly, it will cause an epidemic.

Just because Jianshui Prefecture doesn’t have it doesn’t mean other prefectures don’t have it!

If the refugees fleeing to Jianshui Prefecture were carrying the plague, even if Jianshui Prefecture had prepared medicinal materials in advance, it would still be an unexpected disaster for the people who had just settled down.

The reason why Jianshui Prefecture was able to escape the disaster this time was because Xiaojiu and the Yuwen family delivered enough food to them in time, so that no one starved or froze to death in their prefecture. Otherwise, they would have been hard to escape this disaster!

"Don't worry, sister. Leave the outside to our brothers!" Cheng Liyao calmed down for a rare moment.

When Cheng Liyao and General Zhang Meng were clearing the silt, they saw many corpses buried in the silt, some of them were humans and some were livestock. He understood a lot of things and learned to deal with things calmly.

"No, brothers, you and dad should continue with the post-disaster reconstruction. The county needs capable officials now. You have your own responsibilities, and I will take care of small things like preparing supplies!" Cheng Yu knew that many people would definitely run to their provincial capital, so they had to make plans as soon as possible, and the supply of supplies must not be cut off.

"And me!" Cheng Xiaoba raised his hand first.

"And us!" Yuwen Jue and Murong Xueer also stood up. This time it really gave them a big shock. It turned out that in the face of natural disasters, life was really fragile.

"This is how you wrap your face. Look, this is how you use it!" Cheng Yu took out a large bag of N95 masks, the appearance of which had been automatically assimilated by the system to the fabric of this dynasty.

"Ah? When did you do it?" After watching Cheng Yu demonstrate the standard of wearing a mask, Murong Xueer fell in love with this fancy-looking thing. The mask that can protect them is quite good-looking. She wants to take it back to Saibei!

"My third aunt did this just in case!" Cheng Yu looked around and saw that his third uncle was not there, so he immediately pulled out his third aunt's banner.

Then he thought of something and said to everyone, "This is called a mask, it can prevent the spread of the plague.

If you want to see the refugees, you must wear this and throw it in the wastebasket at the door when you come back.

Uncle Liu, thank you for your hard work, wearing a mask every day, but you can't just grab these masks with your hands, take a stick and burn them far away! "

"Okay, got it, Miss Cheng." Liu Yuan (the disaster victim this time) went out happily. Mr. Cheng's family are all good people.

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Liu!" Cheng Yu looked at him with a smile. She really felt that this person was similar to Liu Feng!

"Second brother, I think the most important thing for us now is to distinguish between the citizens of the state and the refugees, so second brother, we must build a temporary shelter first!" Cheng Yu had seen too many cross-infected patients in the modern world in his previous life.

Especially during the most serious SARS and COVID-19 outbreaks, the first group of people infected had very little chance of survival because they were not treated in time. Later, after national control and the efforts of those unsung heroes, the country slowly restored order.

The situation they are facing in Jianshuizhou is so serious now, so it is imperative to build a temporary shelter!

"Second brother, third brother, take the masons to find a flat land that is not close to the water source and not in the wind, and then have people lay the foundation and drive the wooden piles!

Fourth brother, take General Zhang with you to recruit young and strong men. Give them two bowls of rice a day. The sooner the shelter is built, the better!

Xue'er, you and my brother Biao should take the guards to watch them build the shelter!

Brother Jue, accompany me to find Doctor Bai, and gather all the doctors to make some medicine to prevent emergencies!" Cheng Yu was a little anxious and handed the blueprint of the shelter to Cheng Yiyu.

Because Xiao Ou told her that the refugees were coming! And their situation was far more serious than they had imagined!

"Okay, let's go now!" Everyone dispersed.

Cheng Yu took Yuwen Jue and Doctor Bai to the warehouse to order some medicinal materials. She planned to boil some Isatis root first for use.

Because the epidemic was caused by heavy rain and drinking unclean water.

If you can cure one, cure it. If you can’t, make other plans!

The people from the Sun Family Escort Agency did not leave either. Seeing such a serious flood, they couldn't bear it and stayed to help.

Now they are moving the big iron pots that Cheng Yu mentioned, and they want to move them all to the city gate.

Cheng Yiyu and his team acted quickly. After choosing a place that met his sister's requirements, they began to clear the weeds and trees, and asked the masons who came with them to measure the land, cut down trees and drive piles.

Cheng Liyao and Zhang Meng also hurriedly brought the young and strong men they had recruited here, and everyone was working enthusiastically.

Only after the shelter was built did Cheng Yu breathe a sigh of relief. Now she was no longer afraid of the victims coming from other states.

These days, there is no shortage of people making money from national disasters, for example, the He family's dental practice is currently abusing their newly recruited people.

"Go! Go quickly!" A gangster whipped the group of people with a whip. There were men, women, young and old in the group, more than 20 people, big and small.

"You... stop! What are you doing?" Cheng Xiaoba and Murong Xueer saw this scene when they just returned from the shelter!

"Hey, where are you two going? Do you want to go home with us? Uncle has candy at home!" The man from the dental shop didn't see Cheng Xiaoba and Murong Xueer, so he asked in a mean way.

There is no one around these two dolls, and they are very cute, so they will definitely be sold at a good price!

The He family is backed by the Shen family. Judging from the clothes they are wearing, their status should not be obvious. Moreover, they are covered in dust, so they must have come with the refugees!

"Okay, let's go!" Cheng Xiaoba was not afraid. He was so strong that he was not afraid of them bullying him and Xue'er!

"Little brother, hurry up and leave! They are not good people!" A woman impulsively ran up to Cheng Xiaoba and Murong Xueer and stopped them.

A whip hit the woman's back directly. The pain made her face turn pale instantly and she started sweating profusely.

"Sister, get out of the way!" Cheng Xiaoba gently pushed the woman away, then grabbed the whip that flew over and immediately said coldly, "Don't hit me!"

No one noticed that a bird had flown away from the tree.

"Sister, sister, big brother and second brother, help! Cheng Xiaoba was beaten!" Xiao Ou started shouting until she saw Cheng Yu and the others.

"What? Where is Xiaoba?" Cheng Lixiao asked anxiously when he heard that Xiaoba was beaten.

"Xiao Ou, take us there, big brother, don't panic, Xiao Ba has learned martial arts and is so strong!" Cheng Yiyu bent down and picked up Cheng Yu, then quickly followed Xiao Ou.

"Xue'er is here, Xue'er is here!" Xiao Ou flew faster. He knew that Cheng Xiaoba would run away if he couldn't win, but Xue'er had short legs!

The Cheng brothers naturally thought of what Xiao Ou thought of, and they ran even faster!

"Stop!" When Cheng Lixiao arrived, he saw a girl being beaten. Her back was torn and blood was constantly oozing out. The scene was horrifying.

These bastards! How dare they be so cruel to a weak woman!

"Master Cheng, why...why are you here?" The human trafficker was immediately panicked when he saw Cheng Yiyu.

Because among the people he brought, many were deceived by him, if he was discovered, he would be in big trouble.

"Look for my little brother!" Cheng Yiyu curled the corners of his mouth and pointed at Cheng Xiaoba and Murong Xueer, scaring Ren Yazi so much that he almost fell to his knees.

"Oh? From the He family?" Cheng Yiyu looked at the big word "He" on Ren Yazi's clothes, a scornful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. Are they too kind to the He family?

"Sir, this is a new employee in our pawn shop. Are you interested?" The shopkeeper immediately knelt down and said.

This time, the result is really a case of losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken!

"I won't take it from you for nothing. Name your price! And then give me all the indentures!" Cheng Yu said in a not-so-good tone in Cheng Yiyu's arms.

Cheng Yu looked at these people and thought to himself, "Since we have decided to reopen the restaurant, we must start preparing.

The first is the issue of personnel. There are some people here now and we can make good use of them.

Older girls can learn how to make noodles from their grandmother, while younger girls can learn embroidery skills from their third aunt.

As for the children... they can be trained from a young age, so that they can become capable assistants in the future."

Thinking of this, Cheng Yu was glad that he had specially exchanged 10,000 taels of silver before going out, which was more than enough to buy these people.

However, what should I do with this girl? Let the big brother hold her? But the big brother already has a little sister!

Let my second brother hold me? Hmm... Seeing my second brother's unwilling look, it doesn't seem appropriate.

Just then, Yu Qianqian appeared. She had been helping Cheng Yiyu manage the granary recently. After finally checking the account books, she planned to return to the Yu family, but she didn't expect to meet the Cheng family here.

"Hey, Sister Qianqian, I plan to buy a few people to take back. Come and see how they are!" Cheng Yu said excitedly, pointing at the crowd in front of him.

However, when she looked closely, she found that some of them had strange looks in their eyes.

"Hmm? Which ones do you like?" Yu Qianqian asked curiously. She knew that although Cheng Yu was young, he had quite a lot of ideas.

"This, this, this... and this one, I don't want any of them!" Cheng Yu looked at these people with a look in her eyes that seemed a little strange. She didn't like it.

"Sister, can you ask your maid to help me send someone back to the county government office?" Cheng Yu pointed at the woman whose back was covered with whip marks.

"Okay, no problem. Cuizhi, help me send her to the county government office!" Yu Qianqian replied happily.

"Let's do the math. I don't want those few, but I'll take the rest, no matter how old or young they are!" As soon as Cheng Yu finished speaking, those people all knelt on the ground to thank Cheng Yu, Cheng Yiyu and the others.

In the end, Cheng Yu spent 150 taels to buy twenty-three people, including three people around fifty years old, five young and middle-aged people, ten young women, and five children.

"Oh no! Oh no! There are so many disaster victims outside!"

"Oh no! Oh no! There are so many disaster victims outside!"

"Oh no! Oh no! There are so many disaster victims outside!"

(Author’s note: I originally wanted to write about Cheng Yu’s culinary skills, but as I was writing, I found myself wanting to find a few more chefs to help Cheng Yu.

After all, she is just a little kid who is not even three years old!)
