Chapter 374: I finally got through this stage
The emperor's expression was so shocked that he stared at General Cheng in front of him, thinking that he had misheard.
Children over three years old can each get 200 kilograms of food. How much is that? My mind is so confused that I can't even calculate it.
He looked at the endless convoy again, and even though he was the king of a country, he couldn't hold it in any longer.
He choked and lowered his head, secretly wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
I finally made it through this stage!
The others were still dazed and didn't believe that the rice they saw was real. Nowadays, this kind of rice couldn't be bought for even one tael of silver per catty.
Someone came to his senses first and ordered people to open a few more bags and check them again. Without exception, they were all filled with rice, and the quality of this rice was something he had never seen before.
It is definitely a top-notch product. How much money does it cost!
The queen also looked at the rice in the bag in disbelief, with a storm in her heart.
How could Princess Chen have such a large dowry? Not to mention her current assets, even if she added together all the assets from her mother's family, she still couldn't buy so much food.
Marquis Yongning on the side was even more shocked. He grabbed a handful of rice and observed it carefully, feeling that this was impossible.
Han Mulei, who was standing next to him, had a very ugly expression on his face. If he had succeeded last night, these grains would not have been able to be transported back.
Although he had known that Princess Chen had a lot of dowry, he didn't expect it to be so much. It was really a bargain for Han Muchen.
The most excited person was Concubine Jing. She rushed forward for a long distance, touched all the carts of food, and was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
Her daughter-in-law is really a treasure. She brought back so much food, which not only helped her son a great achievement, but also benefited her as well.
A group of ministers surrounded the grain cart in front of them, and you touched and looked at it as if it were a rare treasure.
Seeing everyone praising the grain, the queen felt very upset.
He touched his greasy face and came before the emperor with dissatisfaction.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. We should go back to the palace!"
I have never stayed in the sun for such a long time. I guess my makeup has been smudged, which will affect my glorious image in front of all the ministers.
Thinking of this, he looked at General Cheng with dissatisfaction again.
"Didn't you say you'd be here this morning? Why are you so late?"
Seeing the queen looking for trouble, General Cheng bowed.
"Replying to the Queen, we should have returned earlier, but there were too many people kneeling on the road, and we were afraid that the convoy would run into them, so we slowed down."
As he spoke, he looked back at the rear of the convoy.
It is still hard to calm down when I think of the scene of people kneeling on both sides of the road and kowtowing to the convoy.
“………………”Everyone looked at each other.
After hearing what General Cheng said, everyone's faces became serious.
Without him explaining in detail, one could guess what the people were like.
Without these foods, I guess few people would be able to survive the winter.
“…………”The Queen choked.
I wanted to say something more, but in the end I kept my mouth shut. The more I listened, the more suffocated I felt.
As soon as everyone returned to the main hall, they began to discuss the distribution of food.
The most active one is Mr. Zhang, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. But even a good cook cannot cook without rice. Even if he is very capable, he has nowhere to display his abilities.
Now that he had food, he didn't want to wait a moment longer and read out the plan he had drawn up two days ago in front of all the court officials.
The ministers had no objection, and the emperor was very satisfied. He began to distribute food to the people the next day.
When the people heard that children over three years old could get 200 kilograms of grain, they were so happy that they could not describe it.
I used to think that it would be good if each person could get ten or eight kilograms of food, but I never dreamed that we would get so much food.
And these were all fine grains that they could not even imagine.
Every family must have more than ten people. This means they can get at least several thousand kilograms of grain, which is as much as the bumper harvest from their fields.
Not only do we not have to worry about starving to death, but we can also eat our fill, which was something we could not even imagine before.
For a moment, the entire Dayu Kingdom was in an uproar again, and everyone was immersed in excitement and joy.
The news quickly spread to the Far North. After listening to Feng Qi's report, Han Muchen breathed a sigh of relief and felt a lot more relaxed.
This time there is no need to worry about the people starving to death!
Hearing the stupid woman's voice, he looked up and looked outside.
"What is the princess doing?"
"My Lord, the princess is preparing the hot pot base."
Han Muchen looked outside again, put down the book in his hand, stood up and walked out.
As soon as I went out, I saw Qin Chuchu gesturing in the square.
"Please check everything carefully. If you make a mistake in weighing, the whole pot of ingredients will be ruined."
Qin Chuchu pinched her waist and pointed at the electronic scale in front of them.
The hot pot restaurant business has been very hot recently. Seeing that the hot pot base ingredients in the space are getting less and less, I have to prepare some quickly, in case they are used up.
"Yes!" More than a dozen young men nodded in unison.
He stared at the electronic scale in front of him anxiously, afraid that he might have made a mistake.
Xiaoshan did the same. He repeatedly operated the electronic scale in front of him, fearing that he would make a mistake in weighing something.
"Xiaoshan, if you are tired, go and rest. They can do the same."
Qin Chuchu patted Xiaoshan's shoulder. Although the boy was in good spirits these days, he was still frighteningly thin.
The reason I asked him to participate was to let him join in the fun so that he wouldn't feel suffocated staying in the house, and I didn't expect him to do any work.
What's more, there are so many people here and he is not needed.
"Sister, I can do it." Xiaoshan nodded seriously.
I feel bad about eating and drinking for free here all day long and doing no work.
"Okay, then you should think about it and take a rest if you are tired."
"Yeah." Xiaoshan nodded with a smile on his face.
Seeing that my sister cares about me from the bottom of her heart, I feel so happy.
When Han Muchen came up, he was very upset to see that the stupid woman was so concerned about this boy.
“…………”
You only know how to care about others, why don’t you pay attention to him?
Qin Chuchu had long been accustomed to seeing the cold face of the living devil, and just pretended not to see it.
Seeing that everyone is ready, let’s start working.
"Fifteen grams of ginger."
As soon as she finished speaking, the young men started weighing the ginger using electronic scales.
Some people were afraid of making mistakes, so they weighed it several times and only put it on the oil paper aside after confirming that it was correct.
Seeing that they all approved, Qin Chuchu moved on to the next one.
"Twenty grams of dried tangerine peel." The young men continued to weigh it, and then placed it on the oil paper aside.
Just as they were waiting for the princess to say something next, there was no movement.
When I looked up, I saw the princess staring at the list in her hand with her brows furrowed.
"Why is there no star anise?"
As she spoke with a frown, she came to the ingredients and looked in each bag. After confirming that there was really nothing, her face suddenly darkened.
"Old Five is becoming less and less reliable!"
