Raising a Wolf as a Husband: Love Rivals Everywhere

"Brother Xiao, is there any news?" Qu Mingyue stayed in the back kitchen of Yunkelai Restaurant.It is now after lunch time, because Fanyang City also suffered from floods. Although it is not the direction of the river bursting embankment and the flood, the water level has risen to more than half a person's height, and many people have suffered losses.

Even fewer people came to the inn to eat and drink.

Except for noon, there are only three or two tables of business ahead at this moment.

Qu Mingyue borrowed the back kitchen to make some herbal tea and mung bean soup, and sent them to the river construction site not far outside the city.Most of the corvee villagers in Xiling Village are in that position.

It's hot right now.Staying in the back kitchen, Qu Mingyue's face was dripping with sweat.

Qu Dongyan followed Xiao Yunqi in, holding a cup of mung bean soup with ice cubes in his hand.They cooked mung bean soup.Naturally, not all of them will be filled with ice cubes. You must know that these ice cubes are not cheap.

So Qu Dongyan took out some and quickly cooled some mung bean soup for Qu Mingyue to drink.The rest are hung in the well to freeze.The effect is also very good.

Qu Mingyue said that drinking iced mung bean soup and herbal teas in hot weather can prevent heatstroke.But she thought so much about others, but she didn't pay much attention to herself, Qu Dongyan felt distressed.

Xiao Yunqi said after Qu Mingyue finished drinking the mung bean soup, "There is no clear news yet, but it is certain that someone has tampered with it."

Qu Mingyue nodded.Xiao Yunqi's current face is not his original face, but Jiu'er has modified it for him. Basically, it is impossible for someone who is not an acquaintance to find his original Xiao Yunqi with a few simple glances.

Because Xiao Yunqi was afraid that he would be easily recognized by others.

Although the official messenger who went to distribute the food that day said that there was not enough food because of the rush, and each household received a little less, but the food that was obtained afterwards still made Xiao Yunqi suspicious.

Qu Mingyue had never experienced such a situation.

Moreover, there were only two registered members of her family, Jiu'er and Xiu'er, and they hadn't had time to settle down yet.The main reason is that Xiu'er's situation is a bit difficult.

As for Grandma Qiao and Charlene, although they lived in Qu Mingyue's house, they received food alone.Qu Mingyue saw that the weights received by the two people were similar to her own, so she didn't think there was anything wrong.

But Xiao Yunqi said that although the food was not moldy rice, and although he didn't expect new rice to help the disaster, the rice was too stale.At least three years or so.

Although the country does not have disasters every year, the grain in stock must be used.But in order to prevent the rice in the granary from becoming moldy and spoiled, generally speaking, after the new year's rice is harvested, the two-year old rice will be sold.The converted income will be recorded in the book.

According to the current situation, if the rice for disaster relief is not enough, they should buy some old rice that is about one year old for use.

Situation in the granary.Xiao Yunqi didn't know much about it, after all, the annual sales income was beyond his control.However, this time the disaster relief was different in terms of the amount of rice per capita and the quality of the rice, so he had to provide snacks.

At first, Qu Mingyue didn't know what was wrong with the old rice until she was eating it.I found it abnormal.The cooked rice is in the state of loose slag, not like those good rice, the grains are clear and crystal clear.

Qu Mingyue couldn't eat for the first time.

Although there was still rice at home that she had bought before, it was only because Xiao Yunqi said so that she decided to make it and eat it. She did not expect such a result.

Move the last jar of herbal tea to the carriage.One of Qi Luochen's guards in front flicked his whip, and the horse kicked and started to move forward.There are small vendors on both sides of the road, and the carriages are full of liquids.Afraid of wobbling out, the speed is not fast.

Because Qu Mingyue had to be in Fanyang City during the day, Qi Luochen led a group of guards and finally lived in the city.Xiao Yunqi was also inside and out.Firstly, it was because it was convenient to send and receive messages in the city, and secondly, it was because he was afraid of hurting Qu Mingyue.

After all, once he started to investigate things about disaster relief, it was easy to attract attention.

Only Feng Ning insisted on staying in Qu's house.Although Qi Luochen was a little unhappy, he knew that Qu Mingyue still needed someone to protect him, so he had to compromise.

And when Qu Mingyue went to deliver tea by the river, Qi Luochen scoffed at him, he definitely didn't want to go through so much trouble, and he objected when Qu Mingyue mentioned this matter.But in the end, he still sent five bodyguards, two to help Qu Mingyue, and the remaining three were naturally to protect Qu Mingyue at all times.

Don't think that the victims of corvée are watched by officers, soldiers and supervisors.Nothing hurtful will happen.

Qi Luochen looked angrily at Qu Mingyue who persisted in the past even though he said a lot of bad things, and felt that this woman was born to oppose him.

When they reached the bank of the river, the supervisor over there came to say hello as soon as they saw Qu Mingyue's carriage approaching.

In fact, the supervisor is also a yamen servant in the government, so he is familiar with Qu Mingyue.Qu Mingyue also went to seek the opinion of the county magistrate when he did this.Not to mention that this was a good thing in the first place, and what Qu Mingyue did didn't affect anything. Naturally, the county magistrate was willing to go along with the flow and make this favor.

Yamen servants have the richness above.I can also drink cool tea by myself, so naturally I don't interfere much.Just pay attention to the construction period.

But the county magistrate also explained that he must not be seen by the imperial envoy. Although this little thing is nothing, it is easy to be caught.

The people of Xiling Village working in the river channel knew that today's herbal tea and mung bean soup had been delivered as soon as they saw Qu Mingyue.In addition to the people from Xiling Village, there are also some people from the other villages here, so they can be regarded as being honored by Xiling Village.

When I was resting at night, I couldn't help talking about it.

Those who worked together were all envious. They were hot and tired. Even if they didn't get a rest, it would be refreshing to have a sip of herbal tea and iced mung bean soup.It's just that they don't work in this period, and it's just fantasy to think about it.

Qu Mingyue naturally knew that there were still many rivers under repair, but there were only a few places she could take care of.

Some other places are far away, let alone other counties.She can't do everything, and she wants to pay some money for others to do it. Although she is not as shy as she is now, she doesn't have much left.

After most of the villagers came to serve corvee, there were fewer people to do the work on her mountain.

Although it saved her a lot of expenses, it was not enough when included in the daily mung bean soup and herbal tea.This is also because she doesn't need firewood, water, or even ice cubes, so she can control this amount.

Naturally, these things were produced by Xiao Yunqi.And Qu Mingyue has no way to ask Xiao Yunqi to pay more money to buy herbal tea and mung bean soup for other people. After all, this is something she is willing to do, but she cannot let others pay for it.

Qu Dongyan held an umbrella for Qu Mingyue, but even so, the high sun still made people sweat profusely, let alone those people in the river below.There is a lot of silt and dust sticking to his body, and it is even more uncomfortable when he is exposed to the sun.

The yamen servants drank a few bowls of cool mung bean soup, greeted Qu Mingyue, and went to inspect the situation on the construction site again.

In fact, herbal tea is more effective in preventing heatstroke, but not everyone likes the taste.Compared with the government servants who don't need to work hard, the sweet mung bean soup is more palatable.

Qu Mingyue only tried to persuade the workers below when they came up to drink tea that it would be better to drink some herbal tea.As for not getting used to this taste, then drink some mung bean soup.

She prepares a lot of jars every day, and the corvees can only come up once after she comes, and in the end, there will be one jar or more left every time.These are left for the servants to drink at any time.

Qu Mingyue wiped off her sweat, left the jar and a few bowls, took away the bowls and jars left yesterday, greeted the yamen servants, and turned around to go inside.

Two carriages, one went back to the city to deliver jars and bowls, and the other took Qu Mingyue and Qu Dongyan back to the village.

At this time, it will take more than half an hour to rush back to the village from the river.

After going back, it was the people in the village who came to ask her about the situation of the families along the river that day.They are grateful for what Qu Mingyue has done.

It's just that Qu Mingyue didn't expect to meet Qi Luochen's carriage on the way today.
