The ladies looked at the girl who was taking notes carefully on the side, and couldn't help but feel a little fond of Shen Ruoyan.

This is the time when a girl of her age is most willing to show off herself. If it were anyone else, she would have talked a long time ago to show that she is knowledgeable and talented.

But the girl from the Shen family sat quietly from the beginning to the end, and even took the initiative to help everyone record the content of the discussion. This kind of calmness was really rare for her age.

A lady took the initiative and asked: "Miss Shen, can you show me what you recorded?"

Shen Ruoyan immediately put down the pen and handed the paper over with both hands.

The two ladies beside him also came over, holding the paper together, and read what Shen Ruoyan wrote.

I saw beautiful hairpin flowers and small regular script neatly arranged on the paper. At first glance, it makes people feel pleasing to the eye.

The little girl wrote down everything they had just discussed in detail, and the order was clear and clear at a glance, with very few modifications. The ladies couldn't help but nod their heads after reading it.

Seeing that the elders did not raise any questions, Shen Ruoyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said slowly: "Madams, I just jotted down this temporarily, and I wrote it in a hurry. I will copy it again when I go back. , sort out everything in order, and send it to your house tomorrow, ladies, what do you think?"

Shen Ruoyan opened her own shop, so she was very comfortable handling all kinds of complicated chores. In addition, she had died once, so she was certainly much more stable and more mature than her peers.

Seeing how thoughtful she was at such a young age, Shen Ruoyan immediately won the favor of several ladies.

Mrs. Zhang, who was sitting in the first place with Mrs. Li, asked Shen Ruoyan: "Ayan, I heard from the Li family's sister-in-law that you came to the temple to help with porridge before. Can you tell me about the specific operation? What else should be paid attention to?"

Shen Ruoyan recalled it carefully, "What the ladies discussed just now has actually taken into account most of the things that need to be paid attention to. But I am worried that there are too many victims this time. If they hear that we are giving out free porridge, they will be in a panic." And go up and cause unnecessary harm?"

Mrs. Li immediately said: "You don't need to worry about this. My husband said that he will dispatch two teams of soldiers to us at that time to help maintain order."

"My godmother is still thoughtful!" Shen Ruoyan nodded to Mrs. Li, flattered her a little, and then continued, "Also, for the ingredients we bought in advance, we don't have to buy all the rice, we can buy some grains at the same time. , it’s best to add some corn bran into it.”

A lady asked in confusion: "Why add corn bran? I heard that corn bran has a very bad taste and is difficult to swallow. Isn't it suitable for cooking porridge?"

They are a group of noble ladies who pay great attention to face. They are going to give out porridge. Of course, they have to make a big scene. How can they hand out porridge mixed with corn bran? If this spreads out, people will not laugh out loud.

Shen Ruoyan explained: "People who are really hungry don't care whether the porridge is delicious or not. Filling their stomachs is the most important thing. Besides, the same silver can buy more cereals, so that more rice can be made." Porridge, share it with more people.

In addition, we added corn bran to the porridge, which will affect the taste. However, this can prevent those who love to take advantage of the porridge from pretending to be refugees and come to receive the porridge. Why not? "

These are what Shen Ruoyan heard from the widows who worked as servants in the shop. They have all personally experienced the suffering of having no fixed place to live and not having enough to eat, so they have a deeper experience in how to truly and effectively help the homeless.

After listening to Shen Ruoyan's words, the ladies who originally only regarded her as a child completely accepted her.

"Ayan, how do you know so much at such a young age? Come and tell us, what's the point of this porridge soup? How many bowls should we prepare, or should we let them bring them themselves?"

Several pampered ladies naturally did not understand the sufferings of the world. Because of Shen Ruoyan's participation, everyone became more practical in thinking about problems and put everything into practice. After this discussion, it was already dark.

Seeing that it was getting late, everyone left happily.

Shen Ruoyan took the initiative to organize the materials and promised to send them to everyone tomorrow.

After just a few days of busy work, the porridge activity finally officially started before the Chinese New Year.

The sky was particularly gloomy that day, and the smoky gray sky was covered with a dense layer of clouds, which seemed to be accumulating snow. It was a bit colder than real snow.

Today, all the high-ranking female relatives in the city are here, plus the guards and ladies they brought with them. The originally quiet thousand-year-old temple is now bustling with people, and a busy atmosphere can be seen everywhere.

Because this event is so grand, many governments have sent people a few days in advance to help clean and cook porridge in the temple. Today is the official porridge day, and pots of cooked porridge are neatly arranged in a row. The fragrance spreads ten miles away.

Shen Ruoyan wrapped her collar and stood at the front of the crowd with the ladies who were organizing the event.

Today she was wearing a sky-blue embroidered jacket, with a circle of white fox fur rolled around the collar. Her shiny face was wrapped in fine fluff, and she looked like a little fairy walking out of a New Year painting. Pure and somewhat beautiful.

In order to avoid confusion, the soup kitchen was arranged next to the road at the foot of the temple.

Pergolas were erected on the roadside, and under each arbor was a pot of steaming porridge.

Mrs. Li led everyone and said a few words of God bless Daning. Everyone dispersed and found a porridge shed to stand in, preparing to scoop porridge for the refugees who came to receive porridge.

I don't know whether it was because the enemy met on a narrow road or because their bad relationship was too deep. Shen Ruoyan turned around and saw that the person in the shed next to her was actually her nemesis Su Xihe.

Ever since the last time the two had an unpleasant quarrel at Mr. Li's birthday party, the whole circle of ladies in the capital now knew about the quarrel between Miss Shen's wife and Taifu Su's granddaughter.

Seeing the two of them meeting each other and standing under two connected sheds, they couldn't help but cast curious glances. Some even started to whisper, would the two of them have a fight today?

Shen Ruoyan secretly looked at Su Xihe with the corner of her eye.

The red marks on Su Xihe's cheeks had long since receded, leaving only the forehead where she had bumped into it, which was still slightly raised. In order to cover it up, she deliberately applied a lot of powder on her forehead, which caused the special white patch on her forehead to look like it from a distance. Like a birthday boy.

Shen Ruoyan wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to laugh out loud for fear that Su Xihe would be angry again.

It was a pity that Shen Ruoyan did not provoke Su Xihe, but there was no guarantee that Su Xihe would not take the initiative to trouble her.
