Chapter 1198 It's Not For Outsiders

Wei Wei was afraid of the wind by the window, so she hurriedly brought a cloak and put it on the old lady, for fear that she would catch a cold.

But Mrs. Cheng looked outside: "It's hard for the poor in the south of the city to survive such a heavy snow."

Wei Wei was about to say something when she heard the old lady say: "Tomorrow, the first day of the new year, it should be a festive event. Tomorrow morning, we will go to the General's Mansion to serve porridge in the south of the city and celebrate the New Year together."

Wei Wei's eyes turned red all of a sudden, but she knew that it was New Year's Eve, and she couldn't cry: "Old lady is kind, this old slave thanked the old lady for her kindness for those old and young in the south of the city."

If it wasn't for the old lady back then, I'm afraid I would not be here long ago, and the feeling of being cold, hungry and desperate is still fresh in my memory.

Wei Wei patted her hand in comfort: "Okay, rest."

She didn't want Wei Wei to think about those bad things before.

In the palace, when Jing Rui and Yun Yi came out of Changle Palace, the snow had stopped.

Because it was too late, the three little guys were tired of playing, so they rested in Changle Palace.

Seeing that the snow on the ground had completely submerged the uppers of the shoes, Yun Yi said: "Jing Rui, the snow is not small, the poor and beggars in the south of the city are afraid that it will be difficult, I think tomorrow I will serve porridge in the name of the East Palace. ."

This idea was thinking of Jing Rui, this is the first year of the father emperor's accession to the throne, and it is impossible to ignore it: "Okay, Yier arranges it."

Yun Yi wanted those people to have a mouthful of hot porridge on the first day of the new year, and as soon as she returned to the East Palace, she ordered it, fearing that they would be perfunctory: "You all listen carefully, the matter of giving porridge on the first day of the new year is not for you. For outsiders, I hope you can understand the purpose of this, and do the job well, but don't insult the good intentions of this palace and the prince."

The chief steward, Eunuch Li, took a step forward: "Please rest assured, masters, the servants will definitely handle the errand well."

The people standing next to him also echoed and said, "The slaves/slaves will definitely get the errand done."

Jing Rui and Yun Yi saw that the matter had been explained clearly, so they walked to the inner courtyard hand in hand.

After returning to her yard, Yun Yi said to Bai Wei who was behind her: "Send the news out and let them prepare the ingredients overnight. Tomorrow, cooperate with the people from the East Palace to finish the errand. After you get a reply, you can rest."

Bai Wei bowed her knees and said, "Yes."

The next day, when it was still dark, someone went to the south of the city and began to clear a large area.

It didn't take long for someone to come over with materials and tools for work, and it didn't take long for a few large stoves to be built with stones, and the cracks were sealed with soil mixed with wheat straw.

As soon as their side was finished, someone from behind arrived with the ingredients and the cooking stove.

After being busy for a while, thick two-meter porridge was boiled on several large stoves. The porridge was boiled on the stove, and some people brought a few carts of white glutinous rice. When the thick porridge was almost boiled, the washed and cut white glutinous rice was boiled. Put it in the porridge, add a little salt, and the delicious two-meter vegetable porridge will be good.

The porridge here ceased fire, and the troops from the General's Mansion also arrived.

As soon as the two groups met, it seemed that they were all their own people. It happened that the people from the General's Mansion also set up the stove again, put the porridge on the stove directly, washed the pot and continued to cook.

The sky was slightly bright, but someone rang the gong: "It's cooking porridge."

In fact, before the gong was beaten, many people smelled the porridge and touched it, but they were hidden in the dark and did not dare to show their faces.

There was no food in the stomach last night, and they couldn't sleep at all, so when there was movement here, the people who were close by came running over, smelling the fragrant rice fragrance, and swallowing saliva.
