I travel back and forth between ancient and modern times, hoarding goods to raise my grandchildren a
Chapter 14 Doing good deeds without leaving a name
"Find a piece of cloth to cover your mouth and nose, then take these two bags of candy and distribute them to them, making sure that every household receives one."
Yu Wanwan brought two packs of White Rabbit milk candy with her today.
She glanced at the alley and saw that it wasn't very long; it should be enough to make money.
Give them some sugar first, so they can replenish their sugar levels, and then have someone secretly bring them some water and food after nightfall.
"Grandma, I can also help hand out candy to everyone."
When Lao Wu heard that Yu Wanwan was going to give out candy to the people in the slums, he immediately raised his hand to help.
Yu Wanwan pressed her hand down: "No, you don't want to help."
She remained concerned about the stench of corpses in the alley, and she was still worried that there might be a plague.
"Zhou Nan, remember to wash your hands and change your clothes after you return home from handing out the candy."
After saying that, Yu Wanwan led the others away.
This place poses a safety hazard; we cannot stay here for long.
The scene in the alley just now kept replaying in Yu Wanwan's mind.
Yu Wanwan also lost the desire to continue strolling around with her grandsons and to run into her second son's good friend.
So they simply took the children back to the general's mansion.
She thought about the people she had seen in the alley and the stench she had smelled.
She felt she had underestimated the famine.
She looked at Tao Xinran, who was standing beside them, kicking pebbles on the ground with her head down.
I called her name.
Tao Xinran raised her head, her eyes filled with tears, and stared blankly at Yu Wanwan.
"Grandmother, what's wrong?"
Looking at her tears, Yu Wanwan knew there was no need to ask the questions she wanted to.
She knew that seeing the plight of those people in the alley must have reminded her of her own family.
It's obvious that Tao Xinran's family situation isn't very good either.
That makes sense. If a rich young lady like Tao Xinran has fallen so low as to dig for clay, how much better can their family's situation be?
Yu Wanwan didn't have much experience in coaxing children.
Fortunately, she still had a few lollipops left for herself.
She took out a stick, tore it open, and stuffed it directly into Tao Xinran's mouth.
"Don't cry. When it gets dark, Grandma will have the servants deliver food and water to your house. Grandma promises that no one in your household will go hungry."
The General's Mansion currently has fifty bags of rice weighing fifty jin each and ninety-nine bags of rice weighing ten jin each.
There are about forty 18.9-liter bottles of mineral water left.
Salt, oil, and sugar as needed.
She has a little over four days before she can return to the modern world to stock up on goods again.
So the remaining resources are enough to support the General's Mansion and the people in the slums in the short term, plus the Ministry of Revenue's Mansion.
If she weren't unsure how long she would be away from the ancient world, she could have been even bolder and supported several more families.
Yu Wanwan had only taken a few steps.
A notification sound rang in my head.
Zhou Nan distributed White Rabbit milk candies, and many children ate them, contributing a total of 160 points to her.
The current balance is 280 points.
You are 20 points away from upgrading.
Yu Wanwan suddenly remembered that she had earned points during dinner yesterday.
She was thinking about something else and didn't pay attention.
Looking back, it was a child named Xu Huaicheng who provided the points.
Xu Huaicheng? Xu Huai'an?
"Huai'an, do you know Xu Huaicheng?"
Yu Wanwan asked Xu Huai'an directly.
Xu Huai'an nodded: "He is my elder brother."
Yu Wanwan revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."
The names are so similar, it turns out they really are from the same family.
But how did he end up eating her food?
Upon learning that the people from the Duke of Dingguo's mansion were bullying Xu Huai'an, they didn't offer any food when they went to the Duke of Dingguo's mansion that day.
Could it be that yesterday at the foot of the mountain, people from the Duke of Dingguo's mansion infiltrated the area?
Yu Wanwan couldn't understand it.
I don't want to spend any more time thinking about these things.
Once again, they walked to the general's mansion on their own two legs.
Yu Wanwan's legs went weak, and she didn't even go inside the house. She just found a stone chair in the yard and collapsed there.
At that moment, she missed modern cars terribly.
If the car is too flashy, a horse-drawn carriage will do.
She really didn't want to walk tens of thousands of steps every day anymore.
She wants to upgrade, upgrade, and expand the space capacity.
Next time she goes back, she'll definitely bring back a batch of horses first, no matter what.
First, arrange for the carriage to be put on the table.
Several bicycles can also be arranged.
Once we can be more high-profile in the future, we'll arrange for all kinds of vehicles, including sedans, vans, and buses.
Yu Wanwan had told the housekeeper last night that she wanted to eat white rice today.
So they hadn't been sitting in the yard for long when the aroma of white rice wafted from the main kitchen.
Among the rice that Yu Wanwan brought was Wuchang Daohuaxiang rice, and it just so happened that the housekeeper opened this kind.
Just smelling the aroma of the rice, everyone felt that even without any side dishes, they could easily eat two or three bowls of rice.
"Grandma, I'm going to help in the kitchen."
The fourth brother couldn't resist the aroma and jumped up from the ground, rushing towards the main kitchen.
"Grandma, I'll go help too."
The second, fifth, Xu Huai'an, and third brothers followed closely behind.
Even the eldest brother couldn't resist carrying the sixth brother and following them.
Yu Wanwan brought some canned goods, ham sausages, braised eggs, and pickled vegetables.
There are only a limited number of dishes that can be made.
To ensure the children's well-being, and more importantly, to ensure she herself could eat better, she asked the housekeeper, Zhou, to bring over several boxes of self-heating rice.
The boxes of self-heating rice all had different flavors.
There's shredded pork with garlic sauce, stewed beef with potatoes, braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens, salted fish and eggplant, and Kung Pao chicken.
Yu Wanwan picked out three boxes of each item and then separated the vegetables from them.
It was given separately to the housekeeper to take to the cook to heat up.
Half an hour later, all the food was ready.
Yu Wanwan and the children sat around the dining table.
The children stared at the white rice in front of them, licking their lips.
This table of dishes is like a Manchu Han Imperial Feast to them now.
They all stared at the food on the table, not even daring to blink.
"Is this beef?"
"Is this pork?"
"Is this chicken?"
"Are there vegetables too?"
"Grandmother, I want to kneel down before the gods! The gods are so amazing!"
The fourth brother knelt down without hesitation, not only kneeling himself but also pulling Xu Huai'an to kneel with him.
Yu Wanwan rolled her eyes, speechless.
"Began to eat."
Her body was also tempted, and she was the first to reach for the braised beef with her chopsticks.
As soon as she picked up her chopsticks, the children rushed to reach for the dishes they wanted.
The fourth brother sprang up from the ground and joined them.
"It's so delicious, I've never had such good beef before."
"Oh my god, am I dreaming? How could I be eating such delicious food?"
"This rice is so delicious! Even before the famine, we never had rice this good. It's even better than the rice in the palace."
The fourth brother originally had many more feelings he wanted to express.
But when he realized that the second brother and his siblings had almost finished eating the food while he was talking, he immediately stopped and focused on eating.
The fifty bags of rice that Yu Wanwan brought, each weighing fifty kilograms, were all relatively ordinary rice, the kind that sells for two to four yuan per kilogram in supermarkets.
There is rice from the south, and there is rice from the northeast.
After lunch, Yu Wanwan instructed the servants to break the rice into smaller portions, packing them into cloth bags of five jin each.
One hundred bags were temporarily packaged out.
The houses in the slum are densely packed, with a total of sixty households.
Yu Wanwan had Zhou Nan take sixty bags over and drop one bag into each household's house.
Discard it quietly; there's no need for them to know who discarded it.
There are too many people and too much chatter there.
They also broke the salt into pieces.
Package the product into portions using oil paper, with each portion weighing 100 grams.
Yu Wanwan brought a box of salt containing a total of one hundred bags, and she had twelve bags opened up for repackaging.
It was divided into sixty portions.
It is also one copy for each household.
Since the water couldn't be divided into individual buckets, the servants were instructed to break down the 500ml containers. There were 14 cases of mineral water left, with 12 bottles in each case, for a total of 168 bottles.
Two bottles were distributed to each household.
Tao Xinran has a large family, so she had another servant bring over twenty bags of pre-packaged rice and five packets of salt, along with some canned goods and ten bottles of mineral water.
The portion given to the Tao family must be recorded, but only the Minister of Revenue and his wife can know about it.
She was still hoping that the Minister of Revenue and Madam Tao would give her a reward so she could go back to the modern world to stockpile goods.
The children stood by and watched, listening to her arrangements. None of them asked her why she didn't divide the property into the Duke of Dingguo's mansion.
No one asked her why she didn't allocate the land to the Ministry of Rites.
They had such a hard time in the past few months, and no one from the Ministry of Rites' residence came to check on them.
In the children's minds, the Ministry of Rites' residence was like a stranger.
That night, the people in the slums got up in the middle of the night and huddled together, crying, "Thank God, thank our benefactors."
"Thank God..."
The people in the Ministry of Revenue's office were also awakened.
