Bai Yun's affairs are over, and no Bingren will dare to come to propose marriage to A Yao in the short term.

The Iceman failed to come to propose marriage, and the scholar's future was half ruined because A Yao was unwilling to agree to the marriage. This matter was promoted. Which other family dared to come to propose marriage? This girl is not easy to mess with a strong personality. What if she gets married, wouldn't she be in trouble?

A Yao asked for it and how they liked it, so that they could not open the door and heard the ice man say, "Girl, I see that you are about to have good things."

The store is open as usual, but the number of customers begins to dive. From the crowd of customers to the three or two kittens, to the lack of doors, it is only three or four days, and all of this is just because the weather is getting hotter.

The shop that specializes in female business is neglected in front of the door. Ordinary girls don’t like to come to the streets. The ice seller takes the courage to walk through the streets and alleys. The hotter the weather is, his business is as prosperous as he can. He finally rushed into the Sun Niang’s foot shop, ordered a bowl of osmanthus black plum soup, and added crushed ice to relieve heat. It was still not enough to quench his thirst. Then he got a bowl of Houttuynia cordata and pear soup. Now it was much more comfortable.

"This thief, it rained and started to act evil again. The weather in previous years was not so abnormal."

After drinking two bowls of soup for ice vendors, I felt that they finally came back to life. "Your black plum soup smells sore that it makes you saliva flow. After drinking it, I feel that it doesn't work. I need something more quenching. This Houttuynia cordata is really good, very sweet. After drinking it, I ate two pears, and have another bowl."

"It's OK to have another bowl, but this time you don't add ice. You drank two different bowls of drinks and added ice. Be careful to have a stomachache. Your family is reliable for you." Song Fang packed his bowl and said. The vendor selling ice is also the old customer of their store. After selling ice, he came to rest. He spent a few copper plates to buy a bowl of tea or two, and added a little bit of leftover crushed ice water.

"I know." said the vendor, "Then I want a hot bowl this time?"

Sun Niang interrupted: "Don't, it's cold and hot. It's not the same idea to help the doctor's business. Yaozhu must also disagree. It's not easy for anyone to do this hot day. You can spare the doctor."

The vendor said in his mouth that it was OK, and suddenly thought of something: "When I passed by the moat, I looked at it and felt that there was less water. It was said that the farmland outside the city was cracking, and I saw the harvest this year..." The vendor shook his head and spit out a word: "Hang."

Sun Niang frowned, "Take it serious?"

"What do you lie to you? If you don't believe it, go to the rice shop to find out if the price of grain is more than ten yuan more expensive than before." The vendor said, "I thought that the rain slowed down the drought, but I didn't expect that it was just a small surprise. After the alms, the drought will rise, and the rice price will rise, as they said... I'm afraid it will be hard this year."

The severe drought is related to people's livelihood. Why can't the temple not mention things that are worried about in the temple? What makes the officials of Sinong Temple even more troubled is that if this weather continues, if the harvest continues, there may be a locust plague.

The overwhelming locusts symbolize the loss of virtue of the king.

The officials of the Lingtai Shi Tianjian were also worried. All kinds of astronomical signs have shown that this year is very likely to be a drought year. Friendly friends from the Sinong Temple next door sent them a letter saying that there were signs of locust plagues in many places, and they had to be remedied anyway and minimized the losses. Otherwise, they would be even more miserable when the emperor's sins were issued.

Although the officials of Sinong Temple and Si Tianjian are all technical officials, they may not be as good as officials of the three provinces and six ministries in terms of strategies and governance, and their official ranks are lower than them. They follow the times, compile the lunar calendar, study the information left by the previous dynasties and previous dynasties. There are always a few people who have discovered something in their history.

History has learned from this that severe droughts and small droughts have successively locust plagues, resulting in population decline and the decline of the government. In severe cases, it leads to uprisings or invasions of foreign enemies, and the crux of the dynasty is the loss of crops.

If there is enough food, the world is rich, the people are safe and the country is peaceful, turmoil arises from famine. If you cannot even satisfy the most basic desire to fill your stomach, it is just a matter of shouting. The country is vast and there are so many people who covet it. As long as the people can eat enough, how can they care about who is sitting on the dragon throne? If there is no food and cannot fill the stomachs of the soldiers, what will they use to fight and defend the city.

At present, the water level of rivers in many places has dropped. We need to choose places to dig deep wells and use the water source of underground rivers. The government guarantees the daily drinking water of the people. People also need to abandon wheat, rice and turn to beans. Compared with rice and wheat, beans need less water. It is said that locusts do not like to harm beans.

They put forward opinions on digging deep wells, but the Ministry of Revenue had opinions and stretched out two fingers, one meaning, there was no money.

The reason is very simple. Last year's harvest is good. It cannot be considered a drought year because there is no rainfall after the Dragon Boat Festival this year. There is no rain in the capital not long ago. We will protect our court and in a while.

After a while, the locusts are ripe in the ground, and you will soon see locusts flying all over the sky. People's livelihood plans must be prevented before they happen. The officials of the Sinong Temple could not help but criticize the Ministry of Revenue.

Sitianjian and Sinong Temple have the same position. The three parties were squatting at the court meeting, and then...they were postponed and then discussed.

Sitianjian was ordered to continue to calculate the time of the weather and see when it rained.

It was not raining yet, and the temple had a few court meetings with the Ministry of Revenue. There was no conclusion, and a rumor quietly emerged in the suburbs and other places.

In the blink of an eye, A Yao received a order.

When I arrived, I realized that this family had hired more than just her.

The maid led her to the kitchen. The cooks and their assistants looked at her with their eyes, and looked her from beginning to end. The enlightenment flashed in her eyes, and she hummed and smiled, and lowered her head to work.

"There are two banquets in the mansion today, and they are those two banquets." The maid said, carefully avoiding them and leading A Yao to the deepest part of the kitchen, which was not occupied by anyone. "This is your work place, girl. Please forgive me if the number of stoves is limited." She cut out the size of a palm, with only one pot and one steamer.

When she took the order, the host did not make any requests. When she arrived here, she saw the stove and found that there was no ingredients. She asked the maid: "What ingredients are the dishes and what are the dishes that the host likes? Is there any food that is a taboo?"

The maid said, "The ingredients are all here, and there is no need for the girl to prepare too complicated food. The sixth girl likes to have a light diet. Just make some soup and porridge."

"Ah? Not a banquet?"

A Yao looked at the maid's finger and was silent. After listening to her tone, she seemed to prepare dishes for the six girls, and was not responsible for several of the dishes in the two banquets like other cooks.

"It's a small banquet. The sixth girl wants to ask her handkerchief to enjoy the flowers and recite poems." The maid said, "This small door is a lotus pond. If the girl has any ingredients, please move to the lotus pond. I have important things to do, so take a step first."

“…”

The ingredients are a bunch of lotus, chrysanthemums, jasmine, soup, porridge, entertainment, handkerchiefs, and small banquet?
