Chapter 191

The servants of sun Niang's foot shop saw Pei Shuo appear in the shop every afternoon, corresponding to a Yao shrinking in the kitchen.

Seeing Pei Shuo leave the foot shop, Li Gang looked at his figure, leaned against the door and said, "Li Rou, do you think they can succeed or not?"

Li Rou didn't answer. She coughed a few times: "cough."

Li Gang continued: "sometimes I can't figure out what sister Yao Zhu thinks. Brother Pei is the best I've ever seen in both appearance and character. Alas, if he likes Li Rou, I will definitely be happy to light firecrackers. I can't do the legendary ten mile red makeup, but I can still do it by setting off ten mile firecrackers and spreading ten mile red broken paper. "

"Shall I tell you what I think?" A Yao approached with her hands on her back.

"OK." Li Gang turned excitedly and pretended to be a fool to ah Yao, who was smiling. He smeared oil on the soles of his feet and ran away: "Hey, sister Yao Zhu, you're here. Ah, I'll clean the table."

Li Rou shook her head. She tried to remind Li Gang that there was no way for the silly child to understand.

The cart stopped in front of the store. Song Fang jumped out of the cart, went to the back cart, carried the sack to his shoulder and moved it into the store.

"Go and help song Fang move things." Sun Niang pointed to the road outside the door.

The ox cart is full of all kinds of ingredients, such as woad, radish, cowpea, and sweet potato in baskets. More are barley, millet, black rice, mung beans, red beans, red beans and soybeans.

A Yao's strength is not small. One person picks up a basket of sweet potatoes and moves in like a crab. Li Gang and Li Rou have to take a basket and carry it in and out together. When the ingredients are moved into the cellar for classification, the grain is put in the rice jar, the cowpeas are washed back and made into kimchi, the sweet potatoes, radishes and woad are collected, and several are paralyzed on the table.

"Come on, eat some red bean balls to recover your strength." Sun Niang brought five bowls of red bean balls and put them in front of the crowd.

After a long time of stewing, red beans are soft, rotten and delicious. Glutinous rice balls are the size of pearls. They are petite and lovely. There is no stuffing inside. Scoop up one or two with a spoonful, and you will have a sweet red bean soup. If you chew something in your mouth, you won't feel particularly sweet and greasy.

"Landlady, why do you buy so many materials every day these days? It's almost too big to put in the warehouse. " Li Gang beat his arm. "I feel like I can't lift my hands every day when I go back. I can't hold heavy things."

"Go back and apply it with a hot cloth, or carry it for a few more days, and you'll be fine." Sun Niang said, "I think the weather this year is as hot as it was a few years ago. It hasn't rained for many days since spring. Seeing that it's getting hotter day by day after summer, the water level in the well seems to be falling, and it's much harder to draw water than before. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid the harvest this year is not good, and the price of rice has begun to rise, I think I'd better store more rice first. "

"I hope we don't have a drought like that a few years ago. I heard that there was a village in Nanxun that ate people. It's terrible..."

Sun Niang murmured. She folded her hands and recited Amitabha.

"Don't worry, you've hoarded a lot of rice. It looks like you can eat for two years. Why don't you plant some vegetables in the backyard? Like sweet potatoes, they don't need too much water and are resistant to release. " Song Fang comforted and joked.

Sun Niang seriously considered this suggestion and wondered whether to hoard more food before the drought.

"No, don't worry. The capital river hasn't dried up yet. Don't worry too much. The autumn harvest is still several months away. The ears of wheat in the field haven't been filled yet. Maybe a heavy rain will ease in a few days. "

Song Fang couldn't cry or laugh.

A Yao also said, "don't worry, landlady. The drought a few years ago actually didn't have much impact on Nanxun. Jiang village is dry, but it can live. It's said that people eat people... It's just the curiosity taste of some rich and unkind squires. It's not at all easy to eat. "

Then she pursed her lips and smiled sarcastically.

Sun Niang was relieved. When they left, she suddenly remembered why Yao Zhu knew so well?

Just when sun Niang stopped buying a large amount of food, the clouds accumulated over the capital, and the accumulated clouds gradually darkened. It was just below the white clouds, as if it was very close to the capital. You can reach out and hold it when you climb the Qingyun tower.

There is a clear distinction between black clouds and white clouds, but soon the black clouds even occupy the territory below the white clouds. The shadow of black clouds envelops the whole capital. Visitors staying on the east mountain clearly see that the light passes through the clouds and is projected obliquely. The distant mountains are filled with ink splashing in the picture, especially light. The light is the blessing leaked between the fingers of immortals above the clouds, protecting the capital.

It was dark, the temperature was suddenly cold, the clouds were thick and the wind was blowing.

Before long, the line like rain fell on the land.

The rain came quickly. There was no need to test or tell. After a drop or two, it suddenly rained cats and dogs, alleviating the drought of farmland on the outskirts of Beijing. It rained all day, the water level of the river slowly rose, and the water in deep wells was easy to hit.

It's inconvenient to travel in the capital in the rain, but it's rare to have a rain. Not many people complain.

A long drought brings rain.

The next day, it cleared up.

The crops in the field have been beaten by the rain all day. Instead of being depressed, they are full of rain, energetic and upright.

The good news was passed into the imperial city. The officials of Si Nong at the court meeting were jubilant and reported loudly to the emperor for benevolence and righteousness. God felt that he had arranged clouds and rain to relieve the drought in the surrounding fields.

The emperor was happy, but it was also because of the sudden rain. He inadvertently suffered from the cold and didn't notice it. On the way back to take care of political affairs, he was blown by the wind and suddenly had a high fever and fainted.

The emperor suddenly had a high fever, and the people around him made a mess. While the eunuch ordered to ask the imperial doctor, he helped the people to the chariot and hurried back to the bedroom.

He was originally followed by the prime minister. He was one of the inner ministers close to the emperor. He immediately followed Shi Ji and blocked the news to avoid chaos.

The imperial doctor felt his pulse and said that he was overly worried and became ill from overwork. He suddenly put down the big stone in his heart, and the tight string suddenly loosened. Coupled with the repeated temperature during heavy rain, the wind and cold latent in his body gained the upper hand.

When the soup was poured down, the emperor woke up.

The imperial doctor repeated the previous pulse.

"I'm old. I didn't close my eyes for several nights. I was still energetic the next day. Now I fell ill just because of a small rain."

"That year, you rallied your arms and were supported by all the people. You were assisted by general Pei and other good generals. Right equal counsellors gave advice and more help to those who got the Tao. The holy master is tired, but not tired; Now that the country has been established, the holy master is concerned about the people of the world, and the worries of ministers are far less than the holy master. The holy master is tired, but for the sake of the common people of the world, please take care of the dragon body. " Zuo Xiang arched his hand and said.

"Don't flatter. You gave advice back then, but now you don't give advice anymore? Step back and do everything you should do. Don't worry me a little. The dragon is more healthy. " The emperor rubbed the bridge of his nose. When Zuo Xiang stepped back and left, he took a sigh of relief. The whole person suddenly seemed to be ten years old.
