The late Ming Dynasty in the living room

Chapter 60 We’ll talk about it later if we have something to do
Sun Chuanting didn't know that he was already invincible. He was holding a bowl of tea in his hand and was extremely anxious.

What are you anxious about?Of course I didn’t know how to ask for help.

Although he had already thought of a way to defraud the emperor of money and food, everyone knew that the people of Lao Zhu's family were very vindictive.

He, Sun Chuanting, had deceived him this time, and there would always be a day when he would be settled by Qiu Hou in the future.

Moreover, the emperor was already poor.

If he could get help from Fang Shenzi today, Sun Chuanting would not be willing to risk the emperor's heart. (Yinzi is Chongzhen’s heart and soul)
Sun Chuanting thought about it, but still felt that he should suffer misfortune.

He did not suffer misfortune himself, but suffered misfortune for the people of Ming Dynasty.

Pang Tiande once said, "Fang Shenzi has compassion for the people of Ming Dynasty."

Therefore, as long as Sun Chuanting makes the people miserable enough and acts realistic enough, he might be able to impress Fang Shenzi.

He didn't dare to expect Pan Shenxian to help him slap Li Zicheng and Huang Taiji to death.

After all, the immortal world on earth has its own rules, and Pan Shenxian will not violate the rules of heaven just for the sake of "such a nonsense as the Ming Dynasty's danger."

What Sun Chuanting wanted was just for Fang Shenzi to give him something casually from his hands... That would be enough!

So Sun Chuanting started to get emotional. About 15 seconds later, his eyes turned red.

Fang Yu quickly noticed, what happened to Lao Suntou?Everything was fine just now.

"Master Sun, did you remember something sad?" Fang Yu asked curiously.

Sun Chuanting raised his sleeves and wiped his eyes, sighing: "Some personal sad things are not worth mentioning."

"I just came from outside and saw that all the people working here have enough food and clothing. I couldn't help but think of the Henan, Shanxi, and Shaanxi areas at this time. Due to constant natural disasters and rampant thieves, there is now thousands of miles of red land, great hunger, and people Eat each other!”

Sun Chuanting bit the word "people eat each other" very hard, and then raised his sleeves to wipe his eyes.

He glanced at Fang Shenzi from the edge of his sleeve, and found that Fang Shenzi had no reaction. Sun Chuanting's heart suddenly felt cold.

Of course Fang Yu had no reaction.

Just because there are too many records about "severe drought and people eating each other" in the history books.

After he met this group of refugees in the Ming Dynasty, he heard about these things a hundred times a day. Even the most soft-hearted people have already heard these things.

There is a different feeling between hearing what others say and reading in books and actually seeing it.

In fact, if Fang Yu could go to Henan to take a look, he would be anxious to send food and money.

Sun Chuanting failed miserably for the first time, but he has always been an indomitable person, and he will try harder.

Most officials in the Ming Dynasty had the ability to cry whenever they wanted.

As a big boss in the court, Sun Chuanting often had to cry for poverty in front of Emperor Chongzhen, so his skills had long been perfected.

Sun Chuanting's tears had already fallen down, and he choked up and said: "The people in Kaifeng City are particularly miserable. They have been besieged by Li thieves for more than half a year. There is a severe shortage of food in the city and people are dying of hunger. Even outside Kaifeng City, nine out of ten houses are empty, and the villages It is deserted, and the sound of chickens and dogs has not been heard.”

Sun Chuanting was talking sadly when he suddenly heard "ding~ding~ding" outside.

"Let's eat, let's eat. Today we'll have braised bullfrog with Zi Su (perilla) and braised pork with potatoes!"

Then Sun Chuanting saw a little girl rushing in happily and shouting to Fang Shenzi: "There is also cold seaweed...Axiu has remembered everything!"

Well, because Fang Yu now lives far away from the canteen in the shanty town, he can't hear the daily announcement of food, so A Xiuxian is very bored and writes down where he came from every day to tell Fang Yu.She imitated the tone of voice when announcing food, and even the "ding-ding" sound of knocking iron lumps.

Fang Yu touched her head and praised: "Axiu is so awesome, you can remember so many dish names."

Sun Chuanting knew that this little girl was Axiu, so he quickly suppressed his sadness and put on a smile again in a very short period of time.

Fang Yu pulled Axiu to greet Sun Chuanting and said, "Call me Grandpa Sun."

Axiu called Grandpa Sun.

Sun Chuanting listened happily, and then he reached out and touched his body, and finally found a piece of crystal jade.

This was awarded to him by Emperor Wanli after he became a Jinshi scholar at the age of 27 after examining his knowledge.

Sun Chuanting has been wearing it for more than 20 years, and now he took it out as a greeting gift for Axiu.

Axiu bit her finger and wondered whether she should take it or not. Fang Yu then smiled and said, "You can't refuse a gift from your elders. Thank you, Grandpa Sun."

Axiu happily caught it.

Fang Yu invited: "It's time for dinner. Master Sun, come and have dinner with us. We can talk about it later if we have anything to do."

Do you have anything to discuss later?

What can Fang Shenzi talk to me about?Needless to say, it must be a good thing!Sun Chuanting's eyes suddenly brightened.

Sun Chuanting is a good person. With just a few words in passing, he immediately recognized Xuanwai's confidant.

"Okay, okay! Thank you Mr. Fang, I'll stop bothering you." Sun Chuanting stroked his beard and said with a smile.

The food was quickly delivered.

A bowl of braised bullfrog with perilla, a bowl of braised pork with potatoes, and a plate of cold kelp. Compared with others, here there is an extra portion of white tofu with sesame oil and green onions (bought in the county).

The braised bullfrog with perilla is a big bowl, with a bunch of garlic, ginger, millet pepper, green and red pepper... and other condiments. The cooking wine, sesame oil, and rolling rapeseed oil make it fragrant.

Braised pork with potatoes is often made. Potatoes cut into small pieces are mixed with the braised pork, and the red oil sauce is red...

In fact, these people in the camp are content with giving them two white steamed buns every day.

The dishes change every day and there are so many condiments. For these people, it is a waste of resources.

But for the sake of his son, Teacher Pan sorts the ingredients and seasonings into categories every day and prepares them carefully.

Those who work in the camp can only "make do", eating every day until their mouths are full of oil and their bellies are round. (The more people there are, the better prepared Teacher Pan will be...)
Fang Yu added a small bowl of rice to Axiu.

He gave her a few pieces of bullfrog and a few pieces of braised pork, and specially poured a little braised pork gravy on her rice. Then he turned to look at Sun Chuanting and said:
"This is a big pot of rice in the cafeteria. I wonder if Mr. Sun is used to it?"

Fang Yu just said a polite word, Sun Chuanting was not one of the noble civil servants in the court.

He was leading troops outside. It was common for him to wear Guokui (roasted steamed buns), drink snow water, and even sleep in the open air while marching.

Sure enough, Sun Chuanting shook his head and said with a smile: "Sun also ate from a big pot when he was marching and fighting."

Sun Chuanting ate his food very quickly.

In fact, he didn't pay attention to the taste of the food at all. All he could think about was "We have something to discuss later."
