The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 236: Changes in the Salesian Bureau (Part 1)
The evening dishes were considered rich in the eyes of the Salesian Bureau. Even the officials were very greedy because the cooks made the dishes according to the recipes that Yun Yanhui brought.
Yes, but don't forget the most important point. The place where Yunyan came back is Kaifeng, which is rich in delicious food.
The people from Cangcao also brought some wine and delicious food. After Yun Yanhui and the people from the Salesian Bureau pushed the cups for a few rounds, they became familiar with each other at once.
When the meal was almost done, Yunyan replied to the crime, took some minced chicken, put it in the water and rice, and went out to feed the cat.
As soon as they went out, Yunyan came back and saw five seven or eight-year-old children under the corridor, squatting next to the kitten to watch it.
Yunyan walked back and asked softly, "Why don't you go to dinner and watch the kittens here?"
Several children looked at each other, and the older boy replied, "We have already finished eating, and my mother-in-law is going to eat, and told us to look at the kittens."
The mother-in-law probably refers to the women who look after them, and when it comes to eating, several children swallow their saliva. Although they have finished eating, the meal they ate today still left a deep impression on them.
The fragrant meat is the most popular, and, unlike the limited number of times that I remember eating meat, this time even if everyone tried their best to put meat in their mouths, no one would be full.
The mouthful of meat makes them feel that this is the happiest moment. If it wasn't for the mother-in-law who said they couldn't eat too much meat, they would definitely be reluctant to put down their chopsticks. Even the food was delicious, but it wasn't as good as meat. Now, my belly is round.
"What's your name?" Yun Yan asked back.
The boy said: "My name is Lim, this is Xiao Yan'er, Horseshoe, A Yuan, A Huan..."
"Little Yan'er? I'm 'Dayan'." Yun Yan smiled back and gave them her name, "You can call me brother or sir."
"Sir," Lian Mong saw that the kitten was awake, and got up tremblingly, walked over to the water and rice in Yun Yanhui's hand, and asked, "Did you bring this kitten too? "
"Yes, its mother is the mouse catcher of our Kaifeng mansion," Yunyan said, looking back at the kitten eating happily, "its mother's name is Ermao, let her come to the Salesian Bureau to protect you and help catch mice . However, Er Mao has not given it a name yet, what do you think it should be called?"
Several children were a little nervous at the beginning, but gradually relaxed, discussed it heatedly, and then said, "Then it should be called Maozi."
"Maozi? Okay." Yun Yan couldn't help laughing back and touched the kitten, "From now on, you will be fine hair."
The children also called "Maozi" and "Maozi".
Weighing Mound said expectantly, "Sir, was the official family sent you to bring us meat to eat?" In the past, when eating meat, high officials and mother-in-law also asked them to thank the official family.
"...Well, yes." Yun Yan nodded back, "Not only meat, but the official family also gave Tian, and some uncles from other places also sent you things." Considering that the children are not Knowing concepts such as the Censor's Desk, Yun Yanhui didn't count them out one by one.
However, all the kids care about is meat.
"Then when will we be able to eat meat again?" Li Mound asked impatiently.
"Soon." Yun Yan smiled back.
Weighing Mound nodded obediently, but was actually a little disappointed. Every time they finished eating meat, they would ask the adults when they would eat meat next time. At this time, everyone will answer them, soon. However, they won't eat it again until they almost forget about it. Therefore, Lian Mong felt that Mr. Yun was the same way.
After feeding Mao Zai with rice with minced chicken, Yun Yan took the bowl and said goodbye, "See you tomorrow."
……
The next day, the first thing to do when Li Mong woke up was to go to see Mao Zai with his friends.
The name Mao Zai was already well known by their publicity last night. Although there were different opinions, they couldn't because Lian Lung said it was agreed by Mr. Yun.
When the weights arrived, there were already several children watching Mao Tzu.
Liang Mong squeezed in, because the name "Maozai" was promoted through his mouth, so in the hearts of children, it seemed that the general default was that Li Mong and his little friends had priority visitation rights.
"A Yuan, wipe off your snot!" Li Mung saw that A Yuan, who was lying beside the basket, had been sucking his snot, and when the snot fell, it almost touched Mao Tzu's head, and he was immediately disgusted.
A Yuan wiped his nose with his sleeve, because the cloth was rough and he wiped it so hard that his nose was red. Here, naturally, not everyone can put on good clothes, but they all pick up the old clothes of older children to wear. Only the older ones have their share of cutting new clothes.
A Huan said, "I miss the meat from yesterday..."
Suddenly there was silence, and then weighed and said, "Hmph, who doesn't want to."
As soon as I mentioned this, everyone's enthusiasm for the kitten faded a little, and after a while, the scales cheered up and told everyone that Mr. Yun said that Mao Zai's mother was the mousetrap officer of Kaifeng House.
I don't know what official this is, but someone said happily: "I just said, it must be a high official!"
The scale weight corrected, "It's not that it is a high official, its mother is a high official, but it will definitely be a high official in the future."
During the frolic, it was time to eat. These sensible children already knew the rules. They went to the cafeteria one by one with their bowls in hand, waiting for food.
After a while, the weighing machine smelled an aroma, and his stomach, which was already hungry, reacted even more enthusiastically, "It's so fragrant, it's the smell of meat!"
Others also recognized it, and the formation, which was not very neat at first, suddenly became more scattered, and they all crowded forward.
Someone asked the uncle in the cafeteria, "Is there meat again today?!"
Uncle didn't lift his eyelids, he said lazily: "Hurry up and line up, come and fight one by one, this meal will eat Diaohu rice."
Ah... It seems that the meat is not for them, it is still stewing here, greedy for them. Originally, the carved rice was also good, but after I had expectations, and compared it again, it was disappointing.
Liang Mong just took A Yuan and the others to the front. Although disappointed, he still held the bowl high.
Uncle used a big spoon to beat the diaohu rice and put it into the weighing bowl.
Weighing habitually held the bowl and walked away, and then the next one, but Uncle grabbed his wrist, "Wait, where are you going?"
Weighing Mound looked up blankly, "Huh?"
Uncle picked up another bowl and handed it to the scale. The weighing weight felt heavy in his hand, and when he held it in front of his eyes, it turned out to be a bowl of thick soup with a meaty fragrance! Moreover, the soup was not only shiny with oil, but also had some minced meat floating in it!
There was an uproar at the scene.
Uncle said: "This is pork bone soup, everyone has it." Although he can't afford to eat meat every day, but he has a lot of land, but he often serves broth, and it is ok to add meals occasionally, let's level up Son improved a lot.
The uproar immediately turned into cheers, and the people in the queue regained their energy.
After the soup was distributed, some children were fortunate enough to be given bones. Although there was not much minced meat left on the bones, they could smash the bones apart and eat the marrow inside.
Uncle also said that it won't be long before I can eat another pork meal. Although I don't know when it will be, it will not exceed this month. I heard that you may still be able to eat mutton in the future.
Liang Mong thought of what Mr. Yun said to him, and his face flushed with excitement. Mr. Yun didn't lie, he said it very quickly, unlike others, it was really fast.
He licked the bowl cleanly, and his belly felt warm.
……
In the afternoon, Heng Mong decided to go to Mr. Yun and tell him that he really had meat. Today is broth, and there will be fat, lean, and even mutton in the future.
Everyone else went to bed, only A Yuan pulled the hem of the weighing weight and went with him.
Running across the Salesian Bureau like a swarm of wind, provoking a round of reprimands from the nursing women, and finally found Mr. Yun next to a few cars, with his hands behind his back, Mr. Yun was saying something to the officials.
Liang Mound didn't dare to go there, and quietly wanted to lead Ah Yuan away.
It's too late, Mr. Yun has already seen his sneaky figure, Yi Le, beckoned: "Is it a scale? Come here."
Weighing and holding A Yuan, he walked over and saluted one by one honestly.
She was embarrassed to say that, but fortunately Mr. Yun didn't ask him what he was doing, he just held his hand, so he and A Yuan cuddled next to Mr. Yun's legs.
Lin Yi glanced at the scales, didn't care, and continued: "Zheng's embroidery workers are superb, how can we afford it? It's enough to be able to send these fabrics. The tailor is looking for someone we know well." /
Today, the Zheng family sent a batch of cloth, which was donated by Zheng Li after hearing about Yunyan returning to fight the autumn wind, which is considered to support Yunyan returning to work. Originally, Yun Yanhui thought that she could make new clothes for everyone, but now that she has a pillow, it is not bad.
Yunyan nodded back, "That's okay, the style should be as convenient as possible, don't waste too much fabric, but you need to be able to wear it for more time, children grow up faster."
"Exactly." Lin Yi nodded again and again, "I'll send someone to the tailor's shop later, and I'll measure the children tomorrow."
Liang Mong's eyes widened, why did he listen to the meaning of the words of the high officials and Mr. Yun... They are about to wear new clothes? !
Afterwards, Yun Yanhui's idea was confirmed.
"Some kind-hearted people have brought you cloth, so you can put on new clothes tomorrow." Yun Yan replied with a smile.
Weighing Mound swallowed, "Do I have one too?"
Yunyan replied firmly: "Everyone has it."
Weighing Mound was so excited that he almost fainted. In his memory, he had never worn new clothes!
Weighing Mound, and many of the friends who got the news, didn't fall asleep at night, but on the second day, when they were ready to measure, it was a group of doctors who came faster.
These people are all from the Imperial Physician Bureau. Several imperial doctors, with a group of students, examine them one by one. After the physical examination, I went to the side to measure the body.
Yunyan returned to stand behind Xiaobao, glanced at Zheng Ling, and said to Zheng Ling, "How are you preparing?"
Zheng Ling nodded, "Yeah, I've discussed it with them, and I'll have a good time here today."
Yun Yanhui felt that it was not a long-term solution to rely on him to go everywhere to fight the autumn wind, and it was not even a problem to rely on the government's constant money.
On the one hand, Yun Yanhui was asking Lin Yi about the situation of the people abandoning their sons. He hoped that during his secondment period, he could figure out some rules to report to the officials and improve the situation.
On the other hand, it uses the power of the media to run some public service advertisements to encourage the wealthy family to donate materials that are not available for their own households, or come to adopt abandoned babies.
For the first time, Yun Yanhui thought of Zheng Ling's team advertising in the form of comic strips. Pictures are more intuitive than words, and Zheng Ling's comic strips have a large public base in Beijing, so the effect will be very good.
Although the policy has always existed, it is not as good as the pictures and texts of the comics. If the pictures are well drawn, people will be moved, and naturally they will pay more attention.
For this reason, Yun Yanhui specially asked Lin Yi to spare time to have a good chat with Zheng Ling, to help him collect materials and draw touching content.
Lin Yi has been in the Salesian Bureau for several years, and he has heard many people's stories. Naturally, it is full of stories. Moreover, he didn't know how happy he was to know that it was for the comics of the "Tokyo Daily".
Yunyan was chatting with Zheng Ling back when she saw Zhao Yunchu also coming.
After Yunyan called back to the Salesian Bureau, this was Zhao Yunchu's first visit, so he recruited him to indicate that he was here.
"Brother Yan." Zhao Yunchu saw it right, and he walked over to see Zheng Ling beside him, which seemed a little unnatural - and remembered the terrible joke Yunyan told back.
"Achu is here, you two, and Xiaobao have dinner here in the evening," Yun Yan said, looking back at everyone, "The children here are very fun, and I I also brought the kitten from Ermao’s house, so cute!”
Zhao Yunchu nodded obediently, no reason not to agree.
At this time, when Yun Yanhui saw Xiaobao treating a child, the child was not very well behaved, so she went up to help.
Zheng Ling saw him go away and gave Zhao Yunchu a wicked smile, "Auntie is here, I really can't be separated for a moment..."
Zhao Yunchu felt yin and yang strange when he heard it, and said viciously, "Don't be happy! Remember what your uncle said? You are also inseparable from us, sharing the joy of family!!"
After speaking, Zhao Yunchu shook himself a bit - this is really killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred!
