Princess Consort Is No Pushover

But it's a pity to throw it away, and it can't be sold. Now there is a big guy who is willing to buy it. Of course, he is willing to help the friends of the chamber of commerce.

Most importantly, he can make money from it.

When Gao Yang heard that it was exactly what he wanted, he nodded, "Okay, go buy it for me, buy as much as you want, about 10,000 taels of silver for the rice and noodles together."

"Hole Guest Officer!" After the boss finished speaking, he quickly sent Xiao Er to contact the boss of the Rice Merchant Association.

He was going to buy their rotten rice for three renminbi, and then sell it to Gao Yang for five renminbi, so that he could make a net profit of two renminbi per catty.

-

Then, Gao Yang paid for the rice in this warehouse, and sent people to pull all the rotten rice in the warehouse to the market, and hired some part-time laborers with the money, and started to build huts and cook porridge.

Soon, the simple shed was set up.

The laborers untied the rice bags and prepared to wash the rice.

As a result, when they opened the rice bag and took a look, all of them stared wide-eyed.

"Why is this rice so bad? It's full of sand and stones, and there are a lot of maggots. Can this be eaten by humans?"

"This is the porridge given by the empress. Why did she ask people to buy this kind of rice for everyone to eat?"

"I also said that it was the empress who gave the porridge. If I came to help, it would be considered a contribution and no wages would be charged. I didn't expect the empress to be so dark-hearted. She gave this kind of rice to the victims!"

"Hush! Keep your voice down, maybe this empress is giving porridge just for the sake of fame and appearance. We can't afford to mess with her, so let's cook porridge honestly, don't even talk about it!"

When everyone heard this, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and start cooking porridge.

Where did they dare to offend the empress, naturally they did not dare to publicize this matter.

They were afraid that the victims would riot, so they had to clean the rice again and again, wash it again, and try to wash it as clean as possible.

However, there is too much sand in Mili, and there is still a lot of it no matter how you wash it.

Due to the urgency of time, they had to wash it casually, pour the rice into the pot, and start cooking porridge.

-

Soon it was dawn, and the cooks had already cooked the porridge.

Even if this porridge is old rice, it has a strong rice fragrance after cooking.

So when the nearby refugees smelled the smell, they all came over and saw the hot porridge boiling on the stove.

It's just that the porridge was covered by a wooden lid, so they couldn't see it.

Smelling the scent, they salivated immediately.

They looked up and saw a banner on the porridge shed, with the words "Empress Relief" written on the banner.

Everyone shouted excitedly.

"Wow, the Empress is helping the disaster, everyone, come quickly, we have porridge to drink!"

"The empress is really trustworthy. She raised money and started to help the disaster. That's great. I'm going to call my fellow villagers to eat porridge together!"

At this time, Gao Yang hurriedly greeted the refugees and said, "Everyone, this is the porridge that the Empress raised with the money raised. Everyone has a bowl, everyone hurry up and line up."

When the famished crowd heard this, they rushed to the front, as if they were afraid that they would not be able to drink.

Gao Yang hurriedly said, "Everyone, don't be crowded, the empress will serve porridge for seven days, everyone has a share. Please line up and come up one by one to get the porridge."

"Wow! Your Majesty wants to send porridge for seven days? That's great, then we don't have to starve to death!"

"Thank you Ma'am, Ma'am is such a good person!"

"Your Majesty is worthy of being the mother of the country. She can think of us common people. We must be grateful to her!"

Then, Gao Yang sent people to stand in front to make porridge, and the victims lined up and started to serve porridge one by one.
