The guard, who had been busy all the time, had sweat on his forehead. He picked up the last chicken, put it in a bowl, and handed it to the people in line. He smiled apologetically to the people behind him and said, "There is no more meat."
No more meat?
These words immediately provoked a cry of mourning.
"I've been worried that it won't be my turn, and it's true." The person holding the bowl stamped his feet in frustration.
There was a quarrel later: "I told you to come out quickly. You kid had to drag your feet. It's okay now. I didn't catch up!"
"Wow--" the child who was pinched cried.
Another guard in charge of fetching porridge shouted loudly: "There is still porridge!"
And porridge?
Although rice porridge is far less attractive than braised pork, it is porridge made from white rice, which is much better than the brown rice they usually eat. Not to mention that even brown rice porridge is extremely thin, unlike this porridge that is thick and fragrant.
"Can you ladle some broth?"
The guard will naturally not refuse.
At the end of the day, the buckets for meat were clean, and the buckets for porridge were also clean, but there were still more than a dozen people left.
"Neighbors, don't worry, we'll be back tomorrow morning." Liu Zhou shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Are you coming tomorrow?" As soon as people heard this, they hurried forward.
Not only did these people not get the porridge, most of the people who got the porridge before did not leave at all.
They had already heard from the first people who came that the soup kitchen would last for several days, so of course they had to stay and listen to the situation. What's more, it's nothing new for a girl from a wealthy family to come to offer porridge just to thank her neighbors for helping her find a cat. Even if she stayed just to watch the fun, it wouldn't be a loss.
"Brother, are you really coming tomorrow?"
"Come back, our girl said we will be giving porridge for four days."
"When are you coming?"
"It's still early in the morning." Liu Zhou said with a smile what Xin You had said, "Neighbors, please come early tomorrow. Our rice porridge and roasted meat are limited, first come, first served."
As soon as these words came out, people looked at each other and secretly determined to come early tomorrow to guard, so as not to be like the unlucky guy who ran away today.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
So stand outside. "
Gu Yuniang smiled softly: "I guess you came out when you were almost home. Come in and have breakfast."
"Mom, I ate at the Imperial College."
Not all prison students can go home during the holidays. During the holidays, the Imperial College is also in charge of food, and Gu Yu only goes home after he is full.
After entering the room, Gu Yu was stunned for a moment when she saw a piece of braised pork on the table.
"I'm going to warm it up."
Gu Yuniang quickly heated up the meat and brought the hot porridge with it.
"Mother?" Gu Yu was full of doubts.
Could it be that he was waiting for him to come back to celebrate Laba? But in previous years, people didn’t eat meat during the Laba Festival.
While Gu Yuniang was delivering the express delivery to her son, she kept talking: "A girl came here a few days ago..."
After hearing what her mother said, Gu Yu frowned: "That girl's surname is Kou?"
"Yes, we all call her Miss Kou."
"Mom, can you tell me what Miss Kou looks like?"
After hearing the description, Gu Yu frowned even more tightly.
It was undoubtedly Miss Kou from Qingsong Bookstore.
Why did she go to his house to give him rice and meat?
If it was a coincidence, Gu Yu wouldn't believe it.
Gu Yu's knowledge was limited by his family background, which was not as good as those of the noble gentlemen, but he was smart and intuitively understood that Miss Kou's behavior was related to him.
Is it because he didn't believe her that day?
But what does this have to do with her coming to give porridge?
"Tomorrow morning is the last time. Just as Yu'er is back, we can get two copies."
Gu Yu subconsciously said: "I have to rush back to the Imperial College early in the morning."
"There's enough time. Miss Kou comes here very early every day to give porridge. Yu'er, try this braised pork quickly. It should be cold later."
"Mom, you can eat it. I have no shortage of meat in the Imperial College."
"It's the time when you're growing taller and it's hard to study."
The mother and son made some concessions and finally shared the food.
Before dawn the next day, Gu Yu was woken up by her mother.
"Yu'er, get up quickly. If it's too late, you won't be able to separate."
Gu Yu didn't react for a moment: "What?"
"Go get the braised pork from Miss Kou!"
Gu Yu suddenly woke up, neatly packed up and went out with her mother.
It was not because of the braised pork, but because he was confused about Miss Kou's approach.
After walking out of the house, Gu Yu was shocked to find many neighbors running out with bowls in their hands.
"Hurry up, hurry up, there were a lot of people from other places here yesterday, and there might be even more today."
"It's really shameless. Miss Kou came to give porridge because she was obviously moved by our help. Why do people from other places come here?"
"What's the use of talking about this? People can't tell the difference so clearly..."
Gu Yu ran over with the flow of people, stood in line and looked forward.
"Mom, how can anyone give me porridge?"
Before Gu Yuniang could answer, the young woman holding the child smiled and said, "Miss Kou won't be here for a while."
Gu Yu was surprised: "Sister-in-law Zhang, did you come out with the child in such a cold weather?"
"I can't help it. Porridge and roasted meat are given to people who see them. It doesn't matter whether they are men, women, old or young. People who don't come won't be there."
"Coming, coming!" The crowd started to commotion, but the queue remained undisturbed.
Gu Yu looked around and saw that the person walking at the front was indeed Miss Kou.
"Good morning, Miss Kou!" the neighbors greeted one after another.
"Good morning, everyone." Xin You responded with a smile.
Gu Yu looked thoughtful.
Could it be that Miss Kou is seeking fame?
