Chapter 222 Others are freezing while I eat meat
These cartoon characters built more houses based on the original sand city.
The entire Sand City has more than doubled in size.
They used the materials invested by Xiangying for construction and development, thus attracting a steady stream of people from all directions to settle down.
Today, the city has a clear division of labor and lives an orderly life.
Xiangying saw that they now had government offices, schools, and various shops in the streets.
The three people she rescued at the beginning became the leaders of Sand City.
They are responsible for the rational allocation and use of materials, as well as recruiting soldiers. The entire Sand City places great emphasis on military power.
A three-year-old child is already touching knives, guns, sticks and clubs.
This is no longer a sand city. If it continues to develop, it will become a sand country...
Xiangying was quite moved by seeing their vibrant vitality.
Finding that these cartoon characters preferred good horses and iron for making weapons, she immediately showed no mercy and turned around to open the barter system.
According to the system rules, the more supplies she puts into the little people, the cheaper the price she can exchange for them.
Now it only takes ten grains of rice to make a piece of hot pack.
That’s right, not ten pounds, nor ten bags, but ten pills.
Xiangying couldn't believe the price.
The foals are a bit more expensive, one costs ten kilograms of rice.
Xiangying did not hesitate and immediately exchanged fifty foals for live hens, goats, donkeys and cows, a total of one hundred.
All votes went to the cartoon villain.
I also exchanged a lot of ironware. This was a little expensive, as fifty kilograms of rice and flour were needed to exchange for one kilogram of iron.
Xiangying didn't give much, because weapons were useful for her to hoard.
I gave him fifty kilograms of iron as a token of my appreciation.
She also gave some fresh bacon ingredients and some sweet and juicy fruits grown in the planting layer.
After giving them these, she looked at the screen again and saw that the cartoon characters were about to knock their heads against each other with excitement.
Xiangying smiled.
On General Weiyong's side, the people in the city had already roared with joy because of the godsend.
He waved his hands quickly: "Quick! While Master Wang Ying is still here, push out our newly cast statue!"
Xiangying, who was outside the screen, was about to leave, but saw these cartoon characters pulling something out.
There was a tall object placed on four wooden carts put together, covered with a red cloth, so it was not clear what was inside.
It was not until they reached out to peel it off that Xiangying came closer and stared with eyes wide open.
"This... is a statue?"
To be precise, it is a statue of a god.
These cartoon characters had built one at the beginning, but it had a male appearance and was destroyed by Xiangying.
The one they have recreated now has fluttering sleeves and wears a seven-color skirt, with an elegant and gentle temperament.
Xiangying suddenly realized.
These cartoon characters worshipped her as a god, so they created a statue of her.
She leaned close to the screen and looked it up and down carefully, sighing with admiration.
"How long did it take them to build such a large statue?"
Xiangying was so moved that he immediately brought out boxes of treasures and gold and silver jewelry that he had looted before and threw them onto the screen without paying.
General Weiyong, along with everyone in the city, knelt on the ground very nervously, looking at the sky.
I don’t know if Master Wang Ying will like it this time.
He was stunned when a pearl necklace fell on his forehead with a snap.
Then, all kinds of precious jewelry fell down like rain.
"It seems that Master Wang Ying is satisfied with the statue we created this time."
The loyal and brave general shouted: "Knock down quickly! Thank you, goddess!"
Until today, they finally confirmed that the great god Wang Ying who helped them was a kind-hearted and generous fairy.

Over in Xiangying's place, the weather somehow turned cold overnight.
At first it was just the heat and the famine, which people could still bear.
Now gusts of cold wind were blowing over, and the exiled prisoners could not bear it after walking for a while.
Fortunately, Xiangying was sitting in the carriage with the child and did not have to be exposed to the cold wind at all.
In addition to storing supplies, the two carriages can also block the wind.
She arranged for Xiangli, Lin Lingxiang and the Seventh Princess to sit in the carriage at the back.
He also brought along two older scholars from the Imperial College, Lord Chu, and Lord Lin.
The strong wind howled past like a surging tide.
Mr. Lin in the carriage held the hot tea given by Xiangying and lifted the curtain to look outside.
He sighed: "Two days ago I saw a comet with a fire tail, which means the weather is going to change suddenly. As the old saying goes, the weather changes too quickly, which is not a good thing for us..."
Xie Chen and the rest of the soldiers put on the cotton-padded clothes they had worn to keep warm on Mount Bugui.
The skinny monkey rubbed his hands and kept cursing.
"This damn weather is so weird. It was so hot a while ago that people were sticky and sweating, but now it's so cold that it feels like winter is coming. Is this going to keep people alive?"
The sour scholar sneezed nearby and said jokingly, "It's October now, it should be cold."
The wind was blowing harder and harder, almost blinding my eyes.
Xie Chen gave the order and found a leeward slope to rest on the spot.
It was noon, and time to prepare the meal.
Xiang Qianqian got out of the carriage and rubbed her arms because she was so cold.
The silks and satins she had now were all bought when she was in Meicheng, and she didn't have any thick or soft clothes at all.
The Sixth Prince had already wrapped himself in his outer robe, but poor her, her hands and feet were so cold.
Xiang Qianqian originally wanted to warm herself by the cooking fire.
However, I saw the cooks making soup with cabbage stalks.
She was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes.
"This vegetable stem soup again? We've been eating it for three or four days in a row, why haven't we finished it yet? You said before that the deputy general hadn't come back, so we had to save the ingredients. Now that the deputy general has come back, why are we still eating this? Where's the meat?"
The cook glanced at her and said unhappily, "The meat has been eaten a long time ago. There are so many mouths to feed, and we didn't get much supplies in Meicheng."
"If you want to eat meat, wait. We still want it! We'll talk about it when we get to White City."
Xiang Qianqian was about to comment when she suddenly smelled a fragrant aroma of meat.
She looked back.
I saw Xiangying had built a fire and was roasting pork belly.
I don't know how she did it, but the pork belly was cut into strips and placed on the grill in strings, sprinkled with cumin, pepper and salt, and the smell came from there.
Xiang Qianqian couldn't help but walk over, and after taking two puffs she felt like she was going to faint from the fragrance.
However, that’s not all. Taoxue, who was beside Xiangying, had set up three large pots and was cooking old duck soup.
Three plump ducks were stewed to a golden color with lots of fresh mushrooms.
Xiang Qianqian's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.
She turned to question the cook: "Didn't you say there was no meat? Without meat, where would my elder sister get food to eat?"
The cook glanced at her as if she were an idiot.
"That was what Xiangying looted from the bandits herself. The deputy general said that she can deal with her own things. Are you envious? If you are envious, go catch the bandits too!"
Xiang Qianqian gritted her teeth; her dignity wouldn't allow her to ask Xiang Ying for food.
But when she thought about how they could eat such delicious food, she also became envious.
At this moment, she looked up and saw the Sixth Prince also sticking his head out of the carriage, as if looking for the source of the fragrance.
Xiang Qianqian's eyes lit up, and she quickly covered her face and said aggrievedly: "Your Highness, you must take care of this matter..."
