480. Sir, it’s really hard work.

People have been coming to the Shen family courtyard for three consecutive days, and the scene is as lively as the streets of Kyoto.

Shen Xingqi began to think about returning gifts when Su Zhan was greeting the other party. She received precious medicinal materials, jewelry, silk and satin from aristocratic families such as Wu'an Hou, as well as various fruit wines. She remembered that her friends had said before that her elders liked it very much.

Then just do what you like, the Shen family is never short of fruit wine.

In addition, Shen Xingluo has made friends with many students from ordinary backgrounds these days, and most of the gifts he sends are books. The aunts in the neighborhood have all kinds of gifts, including a piece of cloth, a pound of sugar, a green onion, and everything else.

Shen Xingqi had already planned it and cooked a lot of pastries herself and sent them back.

After sending the last guest out, she turned back to look at the gifts in the yard.

"Oh, why are there so many dishes?"

White radish, cabbage, yam, eggplant. I didn’t think it was anything just now, but they were all piled together like a hill, which was very spectacular.

"Yesterday I was still worrying about winter vegetables. Now it's better. I don't even have to go to Zhuangzi."

This alone is enough for them to eat until the beginning of spring.

Alas, the "enthusiasm" of the neighbors is really overwhelming~(*^▽^*)~

"I mean, it saves us a trip."

Cheng Xi answered, paused and looked at Su Zhan aside, "By the way, how are the refugees at the city gate?"

"In the past few days, officials and their families have been giving porridge and cotton-padded clothes. Officials from North Korea and China are also discussing how to resettle the victims. Now the situation has stabilized."

"Can the Kyoto granary hold up?"

When Su Zhan heard this, he was not surprised that she asked this question which could be called a highly confidential matter. After all, the hostess sorted out the information collected from various places from time to time and knew exactly what they were doing.

But he couldn't answer this question.

Then Cheng Xi saw the Shen family housekeeper's face darken, shook his head and nodded.

Ah, is this something that can be sustained or not?

"You don't know either?"

"My subordinates know."

Su Zhan said: "There is indeed still grain in the granaries in various places. If all is released, it can solve the urgent need. We will definitely be able to persist until the new grain is produced next year. However, now that the court is divided into two factions, each expressing its own opinion, I am afraid it will be difficult to meet the wishes of the world."

In short, there is food, but it is not certain whether it can be put into the mouths of refugees.

Cheng Xi understood that there are people who work for the country and the people, and there are people who work for life and profit, which will never change.

I'm afraid it will be another tug of war.

She waved her hand in a bachelor manner, "Let your young master worry about national affairs."

Su Zhan: "."

Sir, it's really hard work.

Butler Su put away the brush and handed the registered book to Shen Xingqi, "Does Second Miss want to deal with these vegetables, or should my subordinates send them directly to the cellar for storage?"

"Save it first, don't worry."

Shen Xingqi had already inspected her territory, took the book and arranged it in a very orderly manner.

"yes."

So Su Zhan went back and forth several times and spent a lot of effort to store the unique gifts for the aunts.

The neighbors who received all kinds of cakes were also very happy at this time. They originally wanted to give a gift to please them so that they could ask for help in the future, but they did not expect to receive such a good gift in return.

"This Shen Zhuangyuan is really grand. Wow, the pastries are so delicious!"

"What I'm saying is that my little grandson keeps saying it's delicious."

"The sweet-scented osmanthus cake is soft and glutinous. My mother-in-law has been unable to eat it for several days because of her bad teeth. Today she ate several pieces at once!" (End of Chapter)
