The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

In the eyes of everyone in the Salesian Bureau, the dishes in the evening were considered rich, even the officials were very greedy because the chef cooked the dishes according to the recipes brought back by Yun Yan.

That's right, but we must not forget the most important point, the place where Yunyan came back is Kaifeng Mansion, which is rich in delicious food.

The people from Cangcao brought some wine with them, and with the delicious food and wine, Yun Yanhui and the Salesian Bureau staff exchanged cups for a few rounds, and they became familiar with each other in no time.

When the meal was almost finished, Yunyan apologized, took a little bit of minced chicken, put it in the rice and water, and went out to feed the cat.

As soon as Yunyan went out, she saw five seven or eight-year-old children squatting beside the kitten watching it.

Yun Yan walked back and asked softly, "Why don't you go eat and watch the kitten here?"

Several children looked at each other, and the older boy replied timidly: "We have finished eating, mother-in-law is going to eat, and asked us to watch the kitten."

The mother-in-law probably refers to the women who take care of them, and when it comes to eating, the children swallow their saliva.Although they had finished eating, the meal they ate today still left a deep impression on them.

Fragrant meat is the most popular, and, unlike the limited number of eating meat in memory, this time, even if everyone desperately stuffs meat into their mouths, no one will be able to eat enough.

The mouthful of meat makes them feel that this is the happiest moment.If it weren't for the mother-in-law who said they shouldn't eat too much meat, they would definitely not want to put down their chopsticks. Even if the food is delicious, it's not as good as meat.Now, the belly is round.

"What's your name?" Yun Yan asked back.

The boy said: "My name is Weight, and this is Little Yan'er, Mashoe, A Yuan, A Huan..."

"Little Yan'er? I'm 'Dayan'." Yunyan smiled back, and told them her name, "You can call me brother, or sir."

"Sir," Scale saw that the kitten had woken up, got up tremblingly, walked towards the rice in Yunyan's hand, and asked, "Did you also bring this kitten?"

"That's right, its mother is the mouse catcher of our Kaifeng Mansion." Yunyan looked back at the kitten eating happily, and said, "Its mother is Ermao, and it came to the Salesian Bureau to protect you and help catch mice. But, Ermao hasn't named it yet, what do you think it should be called?"

The children were a little nervous at the beginning, but gradually relaxed, had a heated discussion, and then said, "Then it should be called Maozai."

"Maozi? Okay." Yun Yan couldn't help laughing back, and touched the kitten, "From now on, you will be a fine fur."

The children also yelled "Mao Boy" and "Mao Boy".

Ping Tuo said expectantly: "Sir, did the government send you here to bring us meat?" In the past, when eating meat, the officials and mother-in-law also asked them to thank the officials.

"...Well, yes." Yun Yan nodded back, "Not only is there meat, the government also gave Tian more, and some uncles from other places also sent you things." Considering that the children don't know Yushi Yun Yanhui didn't count out the concepts of Taiwan and the like.

However, all the children care about is meat.

"Then when can we eat meat again?" Ping Tuo couldn't wait to ask.

"Soon." Yun Yan smiled back.

Ping Duo nodded obediently, but he was a little disappointed in his heart. Every time they finished eating meat, they would ask the adults when is the next time they will eat meat.At this time, everyone will answer them, very soon.Still, it wasn't until they nearly forgot about it that they got it again.Therefore, Ping Tuo felt that Mr. Yun was also like this.

After feeding Mao Zai the minced chicken and water rice, Yun Yan picked up the bowl and bid farewell when he returned. He said calmly, "See you tomorrow."

……

The next day, after Ping Tuo woke up, the first thing he did was to go to see Mao Zai with his little friends.

Mao Zai's name was well known last night after they publicized it. Although there were different opinions, they couldn't do it because Ping Duo said it was Mr. Yun's consent.

When the weight arrived, there were already several children watching Maozi.

Weight squeezed in, because the name of "Mao Zai" was announced through his mouth, so in the hearts of the children, it seemed that it was generally accepted that Weight and his little friends had priority visitation rights.

"A Yuan, wipe your snot!" Seeing A Yuan lying on the side of the basket sniffing his snot all the time, when the snot fell, it almost touched Mao Boy's head, and he felt disgusted.

A Yuan wiped his nose with his sleeve, because the cloth was rough and he wiped it hard, his nose was red.Here, naturally not everyone can wear good clothes, they all pick up old children's old clothes to wear.Only the older ones have their share in cutting new clothes.

A Huan said from the side: "I miss yesterday's meat..."

There was a sudden silence, and then the weight said: "Hmph, who wouldn't want to."

As soon as this was mentioned, everyone's enthusiasm for the kitten faded a little. After a while, the scales cheered up and told everyone that Mr. Yun said that Mao Zai's mother was a mouse catcher in Kaifeng Mansion.

I don't know what kind of official this is, but someone said happily: "I just said, it must be a high-ranking official!"

The weight corrected, "It's not that it is a high official, its mother is a high official, but it must also belong to a high official in the future."

During the frolicking, it was time to eat. These sensible children already knew the rules. One by one, they went to the cafeteria with their bowls in their hands, waiting for food.

Not long after, the weighing mound smelled a fragrance, and his stomach, which was already so hungry, reacted even more enthusiastically, "It smells so good, it's the smell of meat!"

The others also recognized it. The formation, which was not very orderly at first, suddenly became more scattered, and they crowded forward one after another.

Someone asked the uncle in the cafeteria, "Is there any more meat today?!"

Uncle didn't even lift his eyelids, and said lazily: "Hurry up and line up, come and fight one by one, this meal will be a meal."

Hey... It seems that the meat is not for them to eat, it is still stewed here, greedy for them.Originally, Diao Hu Fan was pretty good, but after looking forward to it, it was disappointing when compared.

Scaling Duo had brought A Yuan and the others to the front. Although he was disappointed at the moment, he still held the bowl high.

Uncle Ah beat the carved rice with a big spoon and put it into the bowl of the weight.

Scale habitually wanted to walk away with the bowl in his hand, and then the next one, but Uncle grabbed his wrist, "Wait, where are we going?"

The weight looked up blankly, "Huh?"

Uncle Ah picked up another bowl and handed it to the weight.The weight felt heavy in the hand, and when I took it to my eyes, it turned out to be a bowl of thick soup exuding the smell of meat!Moreover, the soup was not only greasy, 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 it is not enough to eat meat for a meal, it depends on the land, but broth is often provided, and occasional extra meals are still okay. The level can not be improved all at once. few.

The uproar immediately turned into cheers, and the people in the line regained their energy and stood upright, stretching their necks and looking ahead, their saliva almost dripping down.

After the soup was served, some children were lucky enough to get the bones. Although there was not much meat left on the bones, they could break the bones open and eat the marrow inside.

Uncle also said that it won't be long before we can have another meal of pork. Although we don't know when it will be, it won't be beyond this month.I heard that you may still be able to eat mutton in the future.

Thinking of what Mr. Yun said to him, Ping Duo blushed with excitement. Mr. Yun did not lie, he spoke very quickly, unlike others, he really was very fast.

Scale happily served broth with carved rice. After a full meal, the bowl was licked clean by him, and his stomach was warm.

……

In the afternoon, Ping Duo decided to go to Mr. Yun and tell him that he had really eaten meat. Today is broth, and there will be fat meat, lean meat, and even mutton in the future.

Everyone else went to sleep, only A Yuan pulled the weight by the hem of his clothes and followed him.

Ping Tuo ran across the Salesian Bureau like a wind, causing waves of scolding from the nursing women, and finally found Mr. Yun beside a few cars. Mr. Yun was talking to the officials with his hands behind his back.

Immediately, the weight did not dare to go over, and quietly tried to lead A Yuan away.

But it was too late, Mr. Yun had already seen his sneaky figure, Yi Le waved and said, "Is it a weight? Come here."

Ping Duo led A Yuan over awkwardly, and saluted each of them honestly.

Ping Duo was embarrassed to say that, but fortunately Mr. Yun didn't ask him what he was doing here, but just held his hand, so he and A Yuan snuggled up to Mr. Yun's legs.

Lin Yi glanced at the weight, didn't pay attention, and continued: "Zheng's embroidery is superb, how can we afford it? It's enough to send these fabrics. The tailor is someone we know well."

Today, the Zheng family sent a batch of cloth. After Zheng Xuan heard about Yunyan's return to fight the autumn wind, he took the initiative to donate it. It was regarded as supporting Yunyan's return to work.Originally, Yun Yanhui also thought that he could cut new clothes for everyone, but now that he is sleepy and has pillows, it is not bad.

Yun Yan nodded back, "That's fine, try to make the style 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 fast."

"Exactly." Lin Yi nodded again and again, "I will send someone to the tailor shop later, and I will measure the children tomorrow."

Ping Duo's eyes widened, why did he hear what the officials and Mr. Yun said...they will have new clothes to wear? !

Afterwards, the weight's idea was confirmed by Yun Yanhui.

"A kind-hearted person sent you cloth, and you can wear new clothes tomorrow." Yun Yan replied with a smile.

Weight swallowed, "Do I have it too?"

Yun Yan replied firmly: "Everyone has it."

Weight was so excited that he almost fainted. In his memory, he had never worn new clothes before!

Heng Tuo, and many friends who heard the news, did not fall asleep at night, but the next day, when they were ready to have their body measured, it was a group of doctors who came faster.

These people are all from the Imperial Medical Bureau. A few imperial physicians led a group of students to give them physical examinations one by one.After the physical examination, I went to the side to measure the body.

Yun Yan stood behind Xiao Bao, glanced at him, and said to Zheng Ling beside him, "How are you getting ready?"

Zheng Ling nodded, "Yeah, I've discussed it with them, and I'll take a good look here today."

Yun Yan thinks that relying on him to go everywhere to play the autumn wind is not a long-term solution, and it is not even a matter of relying on the officials to continue to give money.

On the one hand, Yun Yan was back to ask Lin Yi about the situation of the common people who abandoned their sons, hoping that during the period of his secondment, he could figure out some ways to present to the officials to improve the situation.

On the other hand, with the help of the media, some public service advertisements are played to encourage wealthy families to donate materials that cannot be obtained from the family, or to come to adopt abandoned babies.

In this first post, Yun Yan naturally thought of the team named Zheng Ling advertising in the form of comic strips.Pictures are more intuitive than text, and Zheng Ling's comics have a large public base in Beijing, so the effect will be very good.

Although the policy has always existed, it is not as rich as the pictures and texts of the comic strips. If the pictures are well drawn, people will be moved, so naturally they will pay more attention.

For this reason, Yun Yanhui also specially asked Lin Yi to spare time to have a good chat with Zheng Ling, help him collect materials, and draw touching content.

Lin Yi has been in the Salesian Bureau for several years, and has listened to many people's stories. Naturally, he is full of stories.Moreover, knowing that it was provided for the comics of the "Tokyo Daily News", he did not know how happy he was.

Yunyan was chatting with Zheng Ling when she saw Zhao Yunchu also came.

After Yunyan returned to the Salesian Bureau, this was Zhao Yunchu's first visit, so he recruited and signaled that he was here.

"Brother Yan." Zhao Yunchu saw it right, and walked over, and saw Zheng Ling beside him, looking a little unnatural—remembering the terrible joke that Yunyan told again.

"Ah Chu is here, you two, and Xiaobao can have dinner here tonight," Yunyan said after seeing that everyone was quite together, "the children here are very fun, and I will take Ermao's house together." I brought my kitten here too, it’s so cute!”

Zhao Yunchu nodded obediently, there was no reason not to agree.

At this time, Yunyan saw that Xiaobao was treating a child, and the child was not very well-behaved, so he went up to help.

Seeing him go away, Zheng Ling gave Zhao Yunchu a smirk, "Auntie is here, we can't be apart for a moment..."

Hearing that, Zhao Yunchu felt yin and yang strange, that anger, he said viciously: "Don't be happy! Do you still remember what your cousin said? Your uncle and aunt have no children, so be careful when you turn around and really adopt you under our knees, and tell you to follow me too. We are inseparable, sharing family happiness!!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yunchu himself trembled—this is really killing one thousand enemies and destroying eight hundred!
