Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 645 Labor
The wind roared, and a large fire cloud could be faintly seen in the sky.

The river was turbulent, beating against the bank, and the stagnant water in the village hadn't gone down.

An old man in Changjin Village wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, pinched his thigh hard, and said: "Repair, it must be repaired. Three years ago, there was a flood, half of our village was flooded, hey, don't forget How miserable everyone was at that time."

Everyone was silent for a moment, and then nodded.

Gu Xiang wiped the sweat from his forehead, and also heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she can really talk now.

Now she is really grateful for her various part-time jobs when she was studying. It was this "miserable" career that taught her how to deal with people.

Otherwise, with her symptoms of social phobia, coupled with her slow-paced brain, I am afraid that I have only dared to squat at home until now, and stumbled whenever I communicated with strangers.

It was not the first time for Gu Xiang to do such things as a supervisor, directing people to repair dikes, and he was very familiar with arranging tasks at this time.

And with Xue Ying around, not only can Xue Ying alone be able to equal ten people, ten people can do things that cannot be done in a day, Xue Ying can accomplish in a short while with one person and one sword.

Sitting on the bluestone under the tree, Gu Xiang looked up and saw the snow eagle suddenly skimming up to the top of the mountain next to him, and with a sword down, there was a thunderous rain of stones in the sky.

"what!"

"immortal!"

All the villagers by the river were stunned in shock.

"cough."

Gu Xiang pressed the center of his eyebrows.

Seeing all the villagers stand still and forget to do work for a while, Gu Xiang couldn't help but sigh slightly, it seems that Xue Ying is too powerful, and it's not all a good thing.

It seems that it will take some time for the laborers in the village to adapt calmly and 'use' Snow Eagle's ability.

"But no matter what, three hours is enough."

Gu Xiang looked down at the various formulas listed on the ground, then picked up the pamphlet, looked at the densely written plans on it, and did some mental calculations. He felt that he had calculated the time as much as possible, as long as there were no natural or man-made disasters, The disaster in Changjin Village can be passed safely.

Sure enough, the villagers were shocked for a long time, but also cheered up, and they worked hard one by one.

If it is said that the villagers were a little hesitant to Gu Xiang's words at the beginning, and they were a little perfunctory when they worked, but now seeing people like Xue Ying obeying so much, they immediately felt that Gu Xiang's words were all good words , every word is worth listening to.

The water receded little by little.

All kinds of fish, shrimps, crabs, clams and other aquatic products on the ground are mixed in the sediment.

Many children came to pick up all the fish and shrimp, and most of the others were unnecessary, such as crabs and clams, many villagers didn’t like to eat them, and they didn’t know how to eat them. , but also hurt the stomach.

Gu Xiang glanced at it, and simply borrowed a basin to raise these fish, shrimps, crabs, and clams by himself and spit out sand.

There is a moat by the river, and the stove is easily set up, one pot of clam soup, one pot of steamed crabs, steamed clams, and the stones are heated and directly grilled fish and shrimp.

Gu Xiang didn't pay much attention, most of his thoughts were on the river embankment, and only a small part of his thoughts were on the stove.

As long as she brought enough seasoning, she threw the dried chili on the slate, and the spicy smell accompanied by the delicious taste of the clams spread with the wind, and the villagers who were working on the river could not help but look sideways.

Gu Xiang smiled and said: "Today I will borrow flowers to present to the Buddha. Everyone has no wages, and eating the fish and shrimp given by Dahe is not a waste of work anyway."

The fragrance is overflowing, the dense white air is transpiring, and even the noise of the rolling river, everyone can't hear the noise, they only feel that their hearts are opened and they feel comfortable.

Gu Xiang made the dough directly again, and baked several oily pancakes with shrimp oil on the slate.

To say that the delicacy of the river is delicious, the villagers who worked so hard on the river could only smell the gluttons in their stomachs, but when the pancakes came out, the laborers were not just greedy—at that moment, everyone seemed like I saw the best and happiest time of my life.

Gu Xiang has always believed that whether it is meat or fish, they are all good things. The common people are short of meat now, so they are naturally greedy.

But the most special thing that makes people feel happy is whole grains, which are serious carbohydrates.

Of course, so is oil and water.

At this moment, if there is a piece of fat lard, everyone will feel more fragrant.

"Everyone take a break before doing it again?"

Gu Xiang looked at the sky and said with a smile.

Wow, the villagers hurriedly gathered around without Gu Xiang saying a second sentence, many of them had green eyes.

Gu Xiang hurriedly cut the pancakes, cut them into palm-sized pieces, wrapped them in reed leaves and handed them to the villagers one by one: "There are no bowls and chopsticks at the moment, so you can get them when you go home, or you can eat directly from the pot. It’s okay to use these reed leaves as plates, don’t forget to use serving chopsticks…”

This time everyone was not in a hurry to eat meat, they just lifted the pancake and took a bite in their mouths. Many people couldn't hold back their tears when they took this bite, it was not too delicious.

Everyone had their cakes in their mouths, licked their lips, looked at each other, and suddenly stood up and ran all the way home.

The big guys come here not only to get the bowls and chopsticks, but also to help the old and the young to eat together.

Many villagers brought their fathers and mothers directly on their backs.

Everyone is like this, and there is no one who takes advantage and who suffers at a time.

Gu Xiang: "...how filial."

She will be moved.

"correct."

The old man in the village who knew the river work best suddenly remembered, "What about those grandsons of thieves, how could we forget about them!"

Many villagers immediately turned to look around with resentment on their faces, even the pancakes in their hands were not so delicious.

"Those grandsons ran off to the mountains. If it doesn't work, we have to catch them and bring them back to sacrifice to the river god. Otherwise, we won't be able to get out of this."

Gu Xiang also filled a bowl of clam soup for himself, while drinking it slowly, he casually asked, "What happened?"

"The river embankment is that foreigner, no, those foreigners destroyed it for us."

The old man snorted, and stretched out his hand to drag out his grandson, "Come and talk to the nobleman."

His youngest grandson is fourteen or fifteen years old, with sharp eyes and quite quick-witted. When this matter was mentioned, his face showed a little fear: "Just last night, I went to the entrance of the village to catch Zhi, and I met some guests from other places. There was a man with the appearance of a scholar who insisted on taking away a little lady, and some other people wanted to stop him, so a conflict arose. I didn't pay attention at the time. Talking in the grass, saying that the embankment was going to be dug, I was a little sleepy at the time, I didn’t hear it clearly, and I just thought I heard it wrong.”

The little grandson showed a very strong expression of regret.

"As a result, something really happened to the river embankment today. The traces are not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. Hmph, it must be the evil deeds of those foreigners!"
