Chapter 219 The food is delicious and fragrant



Chen Yong smelled the aroma of meat buns floating in the air, and his stomach growled twice.

He had been running for most of the day and hadn't even had time to eat a bite of food.

As soon as I smelled the aroma of the food, I felt so hungry.

"Stand up, no need to formalize." Chen Yong strode past the two of them and walked towards the cooking area.

"Have you eaten yet?"

Zong Wei glanced at Jian Guangqi who had not yet caught up with him, and without pausing, he turned around and followed Shen Yong.

"I've eaten everything. I just did some foundation work this morning."

When Zong Wei said this, he glanced at Shen Yong cautiously.

Seeing that Chen Yong didn't seem angry, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Feng stretched his neck and waited for Jian Guangqi for a moment, then turned around to look at Chen Yong who was walking away, feeling very conflicted.

This military advisor is too slow.

Wu Feng looked at Jian Guangqi's extremely slow speed, made up his mind, and turned around to catch up with Chen Yong.

The military advisor is one of us, so there’s no need to welcome him.

He and Zong Wei were in charge of the construction of the South City Gate, so they had to listen carefully to what Shen Yong had to say to them.

"Okay, it's better to work after eating." Shen Yong nodded and strode to the cooking area.

"What did you have for lunch?!"

Aunt Wang, who was in charge of the logistics of the South City Gate, stepped forward quickly, bowed her waist and saluted respectfully to Shen Yong.

"Reporting to King Qianhuang, at noon, each person will have two steamed buns, a meat bun, and plenty of rice soup."

Chen Yong glanced at Aunt Wang and asked, "Are you the logistics manager for the South City Gate?"

"Yes, I'm just one of the stewards. There are 30 stewards in total," Aunt Wang said respectfully. "The First and Second Madams are in charge of logistics at the South Gate."

Shen Yong looked up and asked, "Where are the first and second wives?"

He walked around without meeting any of his sisters-in-law.

I guess I just missed it.

The South Gate and the North Gate needed to have gate towers built, so the two sisters-in-law were responsible for them.

There is a sister-in-law in charge of each of the east and west city walls. Old Madam Shen had told him all this.

Old Madam Shen was responsible for the unified management of the grain, oil, rice and flour in the prefectural government warehouse.

"The two ladies have returned home to reconcile their accounts."

Shen Yong nodded and looked at the steaming pot.

Aunt Wang saw Shen Yong's gaze, hesitated for a moment, and hurried forward to open the pot, picked up a few meat buns from the pot and put them in the bowl.

"These are the meat buns that everyone eats for lunch."

"Those things steaming in the pots are vegetable buns. They're our dinner for dinner."

"These pots are used to steam buns, which are also our evening meals."

"The pot without the steamer is filled with rice porridge."

Aunt Wang watched Chen Yong take the bowl and start eating the meat buns, then quickly served another bowl of meat buns to the military advisor and others who came with Chen Yong.

Seeing this, the stewards in charge of the vegetable buns, steamed buns and rice porridge took bowls filled with food and sent them over to Chen Yong and others.

Shen Yong ate 10 big meat buns, 8 vegetable buns, and two bowls of rice porridge in one breath.

The women in charge of logistics were stunned.

The soldiers following Shen Yong could only eat 3 big meat buns and 2 vegetable buns at most.

You know, the ladies were afraid that the workers wouldn't have enough to eat, so they specifically asked them to make bigger buns.

A meat bun is as big as two adult fists, and these logistics ladies feel full after eating one.

They can save two steamed buns and one meat bun from their meals every day and take them home to improve the meals for the elderly and children at home.

Looking at Chen Yong's appetite, it's really scary.

Fortunately, King Qianhuang was not born in a rural village, otherwise he would have starved to death. No family could afford to feed such a edible person.

"Mm, it tastes good." Shen Yong praised after eating and drinking.

"We will follow this standard from now on. The rice soup in the pot will always be boiling. Workers can come and drink it anytime when they are thirsty or tired from work."

"Yes, it's been cooking all the time." Aunt Wang nodded quickly in response.

"Very good." Shen Yong nodded and looked at the people and soldiers standing in the open space next to the foundation.

"Everyone, get to the right side of the foundation."

There is a large open space on the left, which is just enough to store a whole row of materials.

After eating and drinking, quickly put the materials in. There are still some materials for the west city wall that have not been put in. Now that everything is done, it’s time to have dinner.

Upon hearing this, Wu Feng and Zong Wei immediately ordered their team leaders to call out to those who were sitting on both sides of the foundation to rest and move to the right.

After a while, the left side of the several-mile-long foundation was completely empty.

Chen Yong stood directly on the large stone pier beside the foundation and shouted to the sky with ease.

“Please ask the gods to grant me tools and materials…”

Shen Yong's voice, which was filled with internal strength, immediately reached the ears of everyone near the foundation.

When everyone heard this, they knelt down quickly and shouted,

“Please ask the gods to give me tools and materials…”

After everyone prayed three times, Shen Yong directly placed another order and paid.

【Ding, consumption RMB, account balance RMB...】

In an instant, the left side of the foundation was filled with a mountain of materials and tools.

Wu Feng, "..."

Oh my god, this is really eye-opening.

He had been worried for the whole morning, fearing that the immortal would not give him the materials, but he didn't expect that the immortal would give him so many materials at once.

He took a quick look at the endless green bricks and felt that after the construction of the city gate tower and the city wall, he could build some houses on the expanded land.

"Oh my God." Zong Wei widened his eyes in shock and thanked him repeatedly.

"Thank you, gods, thank you, King Qianhuang..."

Coming back to their senses, everyone excitedly followed and shouted,

"The gods live forever. Thank you, King Qianhuang. Long live King Qianhuang..."

"The gods live forever. Thank you, King Qianhuang. Long live King Qianhuang..."

“…”

The excited voices of tens of thousands of people echoed in the air, and the excited crowd was full of energy.

They feel that life is worth living as they can witness the appearance of gods with their own eyes in this life.

They can brag about this for at least three generations.

After they are done with their work, they must go to the next city to visit their relatives and brag about their achievements.

Tens of thousands of people stared at King Qianhuang and tried to say some words of encouragement, but they saw King Qianhuang simply stride away without saying a single extra word.

no----

You left so easily.

How is this different from the superior they know?

How many of those senior officials don't like long speeches?

They were a little uncomfortable with such a sudden and decisive response.

This silenced all the people who were shouting.

Wu Feng and Zong Wei didn't come to their senses until they heard the sound of horse hooves.

The two looked at each other, their eyes full of smiles and admiration.

This is the kind of person who can do great things, without dragging his feet and in a decisive manner.

If we exclude the time spent eating, King Qianhuang stayed here for no more than a cup of tea.

I have to say that the master is very efficient, and the speed of praying to the gods is also very fast.
