"Huh? This holy water is sweet."
"Yes, yes, it's so sweet. The holy water tastes so good."
The people had even greater faith in and gratitude towards the goddess. After all, they had personally collected this water from the source; how could they not know what rainwater tasted like? But after the goddess performed her ritual, the "divine water" became sweet. They were truly grateful to the goddess from the bottom of their hearts.
Although the county magistrate did not taste the "divine water," he could tell from the discussions of the surrounding people that it was not just ordinary rainwater; the goddess's abilities had repeatedly exceeded their expectations.
Tang Yue had already instructed Sun Jinan and Zhang Dabing that all the "divine water" must be drunk at once, without leaving a drop. Therefore, although there were many people in the square, the county magistrate had also prepared a lot of water, and everyone drank a large bowl.
After all the sick people had drunk the "divine water," Tang Yue looked at the county magistrate and said, "After drinking the 'divine water' bestowed by me, their ailments will be cured. However, I have noticed that the women here eat too vegetarian food for many years and lack protein supplementation. Their bodies are not getting enough nutrition, so these ailments may come back to haunt them."
The county magistrate was a little anxious upon hearing this, but thinking that the goddess was still there, they had nothing to fear. However, he was still full of doubt, so the county magistrate cautiously asked, "Goddess, this... what is protein?"
Tang Yue patiently explained: "Protein is an extremely important nutrient, and it is abundant in meat, eggs, and beans. Eating more of these foods can make your body stronger."
Furthermore, they should occasionally eat sweets, such as candy or sweet porridge, which can quickly replenish their energy. When their bodies are healthy, illnesses won't frequently occur.
Tang Yue felt she had a good conscience. Although she had lied to them, if they stopped eating vegetarian food and continued to do so, most of them would no longer suffer from hypoglycemia.
A murmur rippled through the crowd as people whispered amongst themselves, their faces filled with curiosity and confusion. An old woman spoke tremulously, "Goddess, we have always believed in the gods, and being vegetarian is a sign of respect. If we eat meat, won't we offend the gods?"
Tang Yue sighed inwardly, but maintained a calm expression on her face and said, "The gods are merciful, how could they be angry because you take in the necessary nutrients?"
Only with good health can one better worship the gods. Think about it carefully: if you are always sickly and unable to even perform daily tasks, how can you express your devotion to the gods?
