These stores can buy some meat that they couldn’t eat in the past, pull some cloth for their children or change themselves into new clothes, replace old farm tools with new ones and buy a thicker bedding, so they can laugh. "
Zhao Xirui looked at Su Yonglin for a long time, then looked away from her eyes and looked at the hard-working but still smiling farmers in this field.
Su Yonglin spoke slowly around her.
"They don’t really need much food, clothing and warmth, and they have enough money to see a few animal products and change into new clothes all the year round, but in the past, the court couldn’t even promise them this.
But it shouldn’t be difficult now. I will help them realize these requirements, and from now on, they will get better and better, and one day they will be able to part with us again. "
A burst of hot Xia Feng blew, which made Zhao Xirui feel that his heart seemed to be getting hot.
Chapter 536 I am willing to
Today, Yanyun farmers have just been liberated.
Although their physical pressure has been reduced and their exorbitant taxes have been reduced, they are not rich enough to eat three meals a day.
It is better to say that not only the farmers in Yanyun, but also the farmers in Hebei and Shandong can’t have two meals a day. It is still the mainstream group of the recovery army at the bottom, and some troops have realized the three-meal system before the war demand.
At present, the majority of farmers still maintain the habit of eating two meals a day, and eating breakfast at noon is also called big food, eating dinner at noon and eating snacks at noon.
As the name implies, having a rich lunch in the afternoon is because you have to go to work to produce after eating. If you don’t eat more, you will soon be hungry and you will not be able to do it.
It’s a little easier to eat the second meal, because it’s near sunset. It’s better not to go to bed hungry, and the sun will set after eating the base.
Farmers have no night entertainment conditions and habits, and they can’t light the sun mountain, so they go back to sleep.
In fact, the habit of eating two meals a day has been a standard ritual until the Qing Dynasty. There are no three meals. Even if the ruling class wants to eat several meals, there are still two meals in the morning and evening. Eating at other times is an exception or a snack.
Of course, even after the Song Dynasty, the social productive forces developed, and the citizens in some big cities could afford three meals, but it was only when the citizens in big cities went to the rich that they could be special.
The vast majority of people still maintain the habit of two meals, and even they can’t eat enough for two meals.
For example, Su Yonglin added a meal to the army to make three meals a day, which was really a big deal. Some old officials and gentry who just joined the Guangfu Army were shocked to learn that Su Yonglin gave the army three meals a day.
So many troops can eat three meals a day?
How rich is Su Yonglin?
How clean is the Guangfu Military Department?
Can you really carry out three meals a day?
It can be seen that it seems incredible for soldiers to eat three meals a day.
Having said that, although there are still two meals a day, the dining table of Yanyun farmers has also changed a lot.
For example, the amount of grain has increased. For example, if you start to eat wheat cakes, you can drink thin porridge all day, but you can at least eat enough.
Su Yonglin, who knew that Yanyun’s production had been greatly damaged, began to send people from Hebei and Shandong to collect grain from the north to support Yanyun and help Yanyun people survive this bitter period until the autumn harvest.
If there are still problems later, he intends to collect the gold and silver from Nuzhen Gui to the border of the Southern Song Dynasty and do grain trade in the Southern Song Dynasty, and then transport them directly to Yanyun by sea to alleviate the grain shortage.
Although there are many kinds of gold and silver, they can’t be eaten as food. It is the most important thing to exchange these things for food to eat food.
Fortunately, it seems that Yanyun is not short of food at present.
Although there is nothing special about the farmers’ dining table, it can make them feel happy if they have salt to eat and not hungry.
On this day, Su Yonglin didn’t take Zhao Xirui back to Zhongdu for dinner, but had a meal in the peasant association of Lu Huaan Paicun.
Many people were so excited when they learned that General Su had come to give them salt and food that they rushed to see Su Yonglin. Su Yonglin greeted the farmers with a smile, asked them about their living conditions and invited them to have dinner together.
The food is simple, rough, wheat cakes, simple salted pickles, and a glimpse of salt soup at the bottom of the pot, and then there is nothing else.
Cherish Zhao Rui looked at a bowl of wheat cakes and strangely shaped salted pickles, and made a good mental preparation before sending the wheat cakes to her mouth with a small bite. A hard-to-shape smell filled her mouth and she couldn’t help but frown.
She looked at Su Yonglin and found that Su Yonglin was talking to farmers while eating cakes with a bowl, with a warm smile on his face and a particularly fragrant look when eating cakes, just like eating delicacies.
She bowed her head and thought that her wife could not hold her husband back, so she crustily skin of head and ate the wheat cake and pickles with salt soup without any left.
It’s so bad, it’s so bad that it needs salt soup to be delivered before it can be swallowed.
After eating, Zhao Xirui couldn’t help sighing that it was really hard for ordinary people to go to Japan.
Su Yonglin also talked with the farmers until the sunset, and the farmers reluctantly left the village and set foot on their way home.
Su Yonglin, back to Zhongdu Road, asked Zhao Xirui about the meal just now.
"Very good"
Zhao Xirui thought about it, but she still said it like this. She was worried that Su Yonglin would be unhappy if she said it like this.
As a result, Su Yonglin didn’t think so.
"Very good? No, it’s so bad. It’s so bad that I feel uncomfortable now. "
Su Yonglin smiled and spoke the truth of Zhao Xirui.
"Ah?"
Zhao Xirui was surprised that Su Yonglin would say such a thing.
Su Yonglin simply nodded.
"Yeah, it’s just terrible. It’s rough and hard to swallow. If you keep eating this, it’s a nightmare. I can’t even imagine how uncomfortable it would be to keep eating this."
Zhao Xirui was surprised. "I don’t think you would say that."
