Chapter 738 The Moment to Witness a Miracle

If Shu Yu says it's a good thing, then it must be a good thing.

Everyone thought so, so after the meal, everyone looked at her expectantly.

Shu Yu went to her room and took a few things, placing them in the main room. Everyone curiously went up to take a look, somewhat puzzled. Was this the good stuff she was talking about?

Zhao Xi asked in surprise, "Isn't this the stone you were fiddling with in the yard the other day...? You're showing this to us?"

You'll find out in a moment.

Shu Yu quickly went to the kitchen and brought out the small jar for decocting medicine. "Due to limited resources, we can only use this jar."

She opened the medicine pot, put in a cloth bag filled with 'stone dust', and then added water.

Then a thin plate was placed on top of the jar, containing a handful of rice and some water.

Shu Yu covered the plate with a lid, which had a small hole in it.

“Alright, now it’s time to witness a miracle.” She glanced around, then, under the puzzled looks of the others, smiled and said, “I can cook the rice in this plate without any fire.”

Zhao Xi pointed to the remaining cloth bundle on the table, "Use this?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw a puff of smoke rising from the small jar, so fast that he almost choked on his own words.

"This, this... it's actually smoking!!" Zhao Xi gasped and reached out to lift the lid.

Shu Yu slapped his hand hard. "Don't move, it's very hot."

Zhao Xi quickly withdrew his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the jar in front of him, and he even held his breath.

Even the usually calm and composed Meng Yunzheng couldn't help but brighten up, staring intently at the camera.

The old lady was even more shocked. If Zhao Xi hadn't acted quickly, she would have almost lifted the lid herself.

Hearing that it was very hot, they quickly grabbed one of them with each hand, holding Sanya and Dahu's hands and watching nervously.

Before long, the pot started to bubble and boil, and then slowly, a fragrant aroma of cooked rice wafted out, just like when they usually cooked rice.

"It smells so good, it's really cooked." Big Tiger's face was full of shock.

This is truly a miracle. His second sister is amazing; she really managed to cook rice without using fire.

Da Hu and San Ya turned their heads in unison, looking at their older sister with admiration.

Shu Yu couldn't help but reach out and pat the two little ones' heads, saying, "Is it a good thing?"

“Yes, it’s good stuff, it’s definitely good stuff.” The two children didn’t answer, but the old lady and Zhao Xi spoke up in unison.

After they finished speaking, they looked at each other, and the old lady gave him a somewhat disdainful look.

Honestly, why are you arguing with an old woman like her?

Zhao Xi chuckled, then looked at Shu Yu excitedly, "What exactly is this thing? How was it made? Was it made from that stone?"

Meng Yunzheng also looked at her, "Is this thing easy to obtain?"

Shu Yu nodded. "It doesn't cost much."

The rice was cooked by now, and the boiling water had stopped.

Shu Yu opened the lid through the cloth, and the fragrance became even more pronounced.

She took the plate down and placed it on the table. The old lady and Zhao Xi immediately stepped forward, picked up a grain of rice and chewed it. Sure enough, it was soft and cooked through.

Meng Yunzheng then took out the cloth bag and examined it carefully.

Shu Yu explained from the side, "This thing is called a heating pack. It heats up when it comes into contact with water, so you can boil water and cook rice. It's also easy to carry. I plan to use this to get rid of my status as an exiled prisoner."
