I travel back and forth between ancient and modern times, hoarding goods to raise my grandchildren a

"They even brought their biggest pot and wooden planks from home."

“Some of those who weren’t chosen to help cook porridge went to move stones; they insisted on helping to build the stove.”

Several soldiers rushed in excitedly from outside.

Behind them followed an even more excited crowd.

The people were all carrying things in their hands.

There were two people carrying the pot together.

Some were holding large spoons.

There was a smile on every face.

Even though they were all dirty and dressed in rags, their smiles were brighter than the sun in the sky.

As soon as they entered and saw Pei Yi, they immediately said to him, "General, we have all heard that the lady has become a fairy and sent us food. We are all sincerely grateful to the general and his wife."

Thank you for not abandoning us even after you all became gods.

"Yes, I heard that the general's whole family has become immortals, but the general and his wife can't let us go. Even though they have become immortals, they still want to stay in the mortal world to help us get through the famine."

"General, we understand. We will cooperate with you in the best of our ability. We will do whatever you ask. We know that once you help us get through this disaster, you will be able to become immortals."

"The version I heard is that as long as you, General and your wife, help us get through this disaster, you will become the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother."

"No, it's that the general wants to become Buddha, and the lady wants to become Bodhisattva."

Pei Yi felt a wave of exasperation wash over him.

He had considered that the story of Yu Wanwan's magical abilities might be distorted.

It was truly beyond his imagination that things had become so outrageous in such a short time.

"It's getting late, everyone hurry up and cook some porridge so that everyone can have something to eat as soon as possible."

He was too lazy to waste time explaining.

Faced with magical arts, even if he explained, probably no one would listen.

The people were completely busy.

Bricklaying.

The character for chopping wood.

Others were chopping meat and cutting vegetables.

To ensure that every mouthful of porridge contains meat, and also to make it easier for people who haven't eaten meat for so long to digest.

Zhang Yifan told them to chop all the meat into minced meat.

As for whether or not to wash the meat before mincing it into mince?

This is obviously impossible to wash.

Even though they now have water, they can't afford to squander it.

Not only is the meat not washed, but the rice is not rinsed, and the pot is not washed either.

Just pour the rice and water directly into the pot.

If there's still dirt inside, consider it an added ingredient.

"Madam is indeed a deity. The big bucket she conjured up is so useful. I was originally thinking that it would be difficult to get the water out of such a tall and big bucket."

It might waste a lot of water.

But unexpectedly, there was a switch underneath this big bucket.

Water will come out if you turn the switch to the right, and it will stop flowing if you turn it to the left.

This is so convenient!

When Yu Wanwan bought the water storage tank, she took into account the convenience of water use, so she bought the most expensive one.

Each bucket has a tap underneath it.

Once the bucket is full of water, simply turn on the tap to release the water.

The civilians and soldiers who were temporarily free couldn't help but curiously gather around to examine the water switch.

"I heard from the guards at the general's mansion that this thing is called a faucet."

"A faucet? Now that you mention it, this thing does look like a faucet."

"As expected of something used by the gods, even this thing that controls the water flow is made from the head of a water tap."

"With so many water taps here, how many water dragons must have been killed?"

"puff"

Upon hearing that it was the head of a water dragon, some people immediately knelt down and began to kowtow.

"May the water dragon protect us, may it rain here soon, may we have enough to eat from now on, please bless us..."

"Yes, yes, since this is a water dragon, let's quickly pray to the water dragon for rain."

The group of guards from the General's Mansion who came with Yu Wanwan: "..."

Did they really do something so silly when they first found out it was a tap?

If the old lady hadn't told them that the faucet had nothing to do with dragons, they probably would have wanted to enshrine it.

Seeing how foolish everyone was, they weren't about to kindly remind them.

Once the stove is built, place the pot on it, add rice and water, and start cooking porridge.

After the water boils, the aroma of rice fills the air.

The eyes of both civilians and soldiers were red.

They were all in despair, thinking they could only wait to die, but unexpectedly they could still smell such a fragrant rice aroma.

Soon they will be able to enjoy fragrant rice porridge.

They just checked, and there's a good amount of rice in each pot.

The rice porridge made from this will definitely be very thick.

Later, I'll add meat, vegetables, oil, and salt to this rice porridge.

Even without drought, they wouldn't dare eat like this during the Lunar New Year.

This situation feels like a dream to them.

They didn't even dare to pinch themselves, afraid that if they pinched themselves awake, the dream would be over.

The pot was too big, and too much water was added. Even on the highest heat, it took almost fifteen minutes for the rice grains in the pot to fully bloom.

Once the rice grains in the pot had all bloomed, everyone quickly poured in the chopped minced meat.

The first batch consisted of one hundred pots of porridge, with nearly two pounds of minced meat added to each pot.

After stirring with a long spoon, the minced meat is cooked through.

The woman in charge of cooking the porridge quickly added the chopped greens.

Add a spoonful of oil and a large spoonful of salt, stir well, and the porridge is now fully cooked.

He quickly summoned soldiers to carry the large pot of porridge outside the general's mansion.

At the same time, another new pot was placed on the stove.

Add rice and water, and continue repeating the previous steps.

The area outside the general's mansion was already packed with people holding bowls.

When pots of porridge were served, the air was filled with the aroma of meat porridge.

The people sniffed the smell of meat in the air with fervor.

Suddenly someone burst into tears, crying, "My son, if only you could hold on for a few more days, you wouldn't have starved to death."

"Mother, why don't you hold on a little longer? If you just hold on a little longer, you'll be able to drink porridge, eat the meat you've been craving for years, and you'll be able to live."

"Honey, why? Why? Why couldn't we just hold on for a few more days? Just a few more days and it would be alright! Just a few more days and it would be alright!"

The porridge distribution will begin soon.

Pei Yi naturally had to personally take charge.

He stood outside the general's mansion, looking at the crowd of people wailing and crying.

I feel bad too.

Many of his soldiers did not survive.

If they could just hold on for a few more days, they would be able to have a full meal and would never starve to death again.
