Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 99 Happy Tears

Zhao Dezhu took a relatively large porcelain bowl of his own and walked to the mutton cauldron. The mutton was stewed until soft and smelt of fragrance.

A lot of condiments are put into this pot of mutton, such as oil, salt, vinegar, pepper, wine, soy sauce, ginger, onion, cinnamon, tangerine peel, etc. Even if there is no MSG, the taste will definitely make modern people stand up when they eat it a thumbs up.

"It's your turn!" The man who picked up the vegetables smiled slightly, and then directly scooped a large spoonful of solid mutton from the pot. This one is different from those aunts whose hands are shaking.

Looking at the protruding mutton in his bowl, Zhao Dezhu felt a little unreal. He didn't know how many years he hadn't eaten mutton.

"Hey, the next one, the next one. Don't get in the way, there are still many people behind!"

After Zhao Dezhu was urged by the waiter, he quickly bowed and said, "Yes, yes!"

Following Zhao Dezhu, he hurriedly caught up with the forager in front, and then made rice, steamed buns, scrambled eggs with leeks and a bowl of chicken soup one by one. His son and old mother followed him and prepared the vegetables and rice as well.

No surprises, the four members of Zhao Dezhu's family got a lot of vegetables and meals.

Among them, Zhao Dezhu's mother and two children even had chicken in their bowls. You must know that Li You's place is different from other places. Li You's place is very good to children and the elderly, but those strong men still ignore some.

Just like the chicken in chicken soup, it can be eaten by the elderly and children, but it is not available for strong laborers.

Some people may think this is unreasonable, but if you think about it, what Li You recruited is a family, and the reason why they are together is not because they are reluctant to part with their children and the elderly.

Therefore, feeding to the elderly and children is more respected than feeding to these strong men.

"Wow, mutton, chicken, eggs, rice, and steamed buns are even better than what we eat during Chinese New Year. This gentleman is really kind to us. It would be great if we could eat these every day in the future." Xiao San looked at Everything in front of him exclaimed with great joy.

On the other hand, Xiaosi didn't speak, because at this time Xiaosi's eyes were completely fixed on the food, and the greedy eyes were actually very distressing.

"Woooooooooohhh!" Suddenly, Zhao Dezhu's mother burst into tears.

Zhao Dezhu hurriedly asked: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

At this time, Zhao Dezhu's mother looked up at Zhao Dezhu and said, "It would be great if your father and your wife didn't die, so our family can come here to eat these foods!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Dezhu felt very uncomfortable.

He suddenly remembered the scene where his daughter-in-law let go of his hand that night and told him to take good care of the child. That scene seemed to be just yesterday, so clear.

That night, there was heavy rain, lightning and thunder. In the middle of the night, someone outside suddenly shouted that the embankment had burst. Before everyone had time to react, the flood came suddenly. Zhao Dezhu watched helplessly as his father was washed away.

After finally saving his old mother, who knew that his wife would also be washed away, although Zhao Dezhu forcibly grabbed his wife, but the power of this flood is not vegetarian.

Zhao Dezhu's wife knew that she could no longer hold on to her husband, because it was very likely that neither of them would survive. If the husband and wife both died, what would happen to the children in the family?
Then, Zhao Dezhu's wife shouted: "Dezhu, take good care of the child!" Then she let go.

Then it was washed away by the flood, and even the bones were not found.

At this moment, Zhao Dezhu felt sad for a moment, and then he began to sob and cry like his old mother. As soon as Zhao Dezhu cried, Xiaosan and Xiaosi immediately began to cry too.

This cry seems to have some magical power. It spread from one to another, and then spread to hundreds of refugees in Dunhuafang. Almost all the refugees started to cry. You have to ask why, but there is no one else, even though these refugees are from one family. A family, but more or less a lot of people died.

And almost all the people here are very nostalgic for their family and affection, so when they cry, they cry to the point of sadness, and everyone cries.

"What's wrong.?"

The whimpering sound made Li Mingda upstairs look down curiously.

Li You just took a bite of the mutton and said, "Cry. Cry over the past and welcome the future. Crying is a good way to vent!"

"Then why are they crying? Is the mutton not delicious? But I ate it and it was delicious!" Li Mingda didn't quite understand.

"They may have lost their family members. At this time, they have found a bright future. They are using their cries to pay homage to their dead family members. Let's leave it alone!"

"Oh fifth brother, then they are really pitiful, you must treat them well!" Li Mingda came to Li You's side, and then leaned on Li You's shoulder.

"Hehe...!" Sensing Li Mingda's attachment, Li You smiled, and then nodded firmly.

It's noon in the afternoon and the meal is over, you don't know, just after the group of refugees finished crying, all their appetites are gone, a bowl of mutton, a bowl of chicken soup, and scrambled eggs with leeks.

Most of them ate ten steamed buns and two bowls of rice, and even the children ate three steamed buns.

One-third of Li You's granary was wiped out in one fell swoop. However, both Chunniang and Xue Wang were anxious to death, because both of them had heard that Chang'an was likely to be short of food at this time, and the two kept going. He has always regarded Li You as his relative.

It would be really distressing if all of Li You's money was spent in food.

Both of them wanted to go over and talk to Li You, don't have such an unlimited supply, these refugees are too good to eat, and it hurts too much to eat.

But Li You was very happy on the contrary, and said that the more you eat, the better. You don't know, Chunniang and Xue Wang's eyes were so wide that the whites of their eyes were almost exposed, but Li You didn't see it at all. Let those refugees eat whatever they want.

There was no way, the two could only sigh.

After the meal is over, it is time to divide the house, 3000 people. Three to four families live in a wooden house, that is, nine to 15 people live together. It is a bit crowded, but it is much better than a shack.

The shack is dark and damp, but the rooms here are bright and tidy.

There are beds, stools, and tables, although they are the simplest pieces of furniture, but they are very heartwarming.

Zhao Dezhu's family allocated a room of about [-] square meters. There were two beds in the room. These two beds took up more than half of the whole room, but it felt like home.

Seeing the children rolling and having fun on the bed, Zhao Dezhu looked like his old lady, tears couldn't stop falling down.

However, these tears are tears of happiness!

　There are still [-] investment brothers. Please recommend again. Thank you very much!
