Quhan Jiao'er Soup
At first, it was just a simple rumor.
Whether you believe the news about the "frozen snowfield" or not, everyone wants to stock up on enough goods for the winter before the next disaster.
But the prices of everything that can be burned, such as wood and straw, have increased like flying on an airplane. Not to mention food, the most important thing is that clothes have reached a point where they are worthless.
When things go against one's wishes, the spread of anxiety and panic is inevitable.
All kinds of rumors were flying around, like the lubricant between operation and collapse, giving everyone something to talk about briefly.
The "Anonymous" territory was actually assigned the same important task as the Blood Moon "Hungry Hungry". However, they deliberately concealed the news and only spread the news after they had gathered enough resources.
This is one of those rumors.
It was not until the 29th day after the disaster that the lords who had purchased the disaster information received a push notification. The "anonymous" territory began to sell a limited number of "home-cooked snack boxes" for ten points each, and a "cold-proof snack" would be given as a gift after giving a five-star rating.
An ordinary push was pushed to a climax by the word "warmth protection" in it.
Someone quick enough grabbed one immediately. While the delivery wasn't as fast as at the border crossing, it was still incredibly quick. Considering the portion size, ten points per portion was a steal, and it was piping hot, looking like it was freshly made.
The man gave a five-star rating without hesitation, and then a leaf bag appeared in the warehouse.
When I opened the leaf package, I found five raw dumplings!
[Cold-Repelling Dumplings: Restores hunger value by 10 and mood by 10 points/100g;
(Special cultural bonus: Warms +6°C/3 hours, cures ear-related frostbite. — From the "Quhan Jiao'er Decoction" by Zhang Zhongjing, a famous doctor in the Eastern Han Dynasty)
This person: “!” Unbelievable!
He immediately flipped open the screen, hoping to buy more side dishes and get more gifts. Unexpectedly, the next second, the "Buy" button had turned as gray as his heart.
He held the five raw dumplings in his hands as if they were treasures, and suddenly thought of something, and hurried to the kitchen.
"Hurry! It's time to make dumplings!" Then, seeing the chefs spread their hands in surprise, they remembered that the staple food in their territory was rice, and there was no wheat flour for making dumplings!
Of course, I also had all the territory materials ready, and excitedly started my first attempt...failed, followed by a second attempt...same failure.
Some people opened their cold-weather dumplings, only to find they lost their effectiveness immediately. Using the same filling in different wrappers didn't produce the same effect. Some people shifted their focus to the renowned doctor Zhang Zhongjing, arguing that only professional doctors could make them. The results were predictable.
In short, after a brief attempt, no one succeeded in replicating the cold-proof dumplings.
The news spread quickly, and people couldn't help but sigh at the differences between territories. At this moment, countless people had the same thoughts as Hu Mifeng: if only they could cling to someone powerful...
Even though I think so, I still have to stock up on supplies in preparation for the impending disaster.
However, some people have developed a sense of envy due to this disparity. Because of the "anonymity", they can't directly target it, and they dare not miss out on the cold-resistant food by not giving it a good review.
No one knows who started the rumor, but the "Anonymous Territory" deliberately concealed the news so they could collect supplies on their own.
Then, the rumors intensified, and anyone who showed signs of being wealthy or having sufficient warehouses would be immediately targeted and treated as a suspect. These people would gather in front of stores to cause trouble and would not disperse easily until they tasted something sweet.
Gradually, rumors became a cover for robbery. These people no longer mentioned the dumplings in the "anonymous" territory, but instead went for high-priced goods such as honey cakes and furs.
In fact, what they wanted from the beginning was not dumplings.
Ye Miaomiao heard the rumors, but she had no idea that she had become the accelerator and fig leaf for the robbery.
The Hungry Hungry shop did not sell any cold-proof supplies, so it was quite safe at first. However, because it was ranked high and looked very "rich", gradually more and more people began to linger nearby.
The shop assistants were so frightened that they didn't even dare to wear their own sweaters and down jackets for fear of encountering bad guys.
Then, when the shop was surrounded for the first time and threatened to hand over at least 500 points of supplies, otherwise they would pour "fertilizer" on the staff,
The clerk was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything. He hurriedly asked Ye Miaomiao nervously, and then heard Ye Miaomiao's voice that did not sound surprised.
"Tell them the store is closed, the supplies will be recycled immediately, there is nothing left in the store, and ask them not to waste fertilizer."
Sure enough, the next moment, the shelves were empty, and the entire store returned to its original state. The robbers were stunned.
"Then...then let's go back?" The fireplace went out and the clerk shivered all over. At this moment, he missed his down jacket very much.
The robbers left in disappointment.
Ye Miaomiao was actually very sorry that the border port was in such a mess. After all, the Hungry Hungry Shop made a lot of money, and she also purchased a lot of supplies that were not available in the territory!
But reality is not ideal after all. In the final analysis, the "border port" is a place that appeared because of her wish.
However, at this moment, the Hungry Hungry Shop had no reason to exist at all, which was why Ye Miaomiao decisively withdrew.
The first is ironware. The shop has sold out all the excess ironware stock. Winter is coming, and Ye Miaomiao has invested a lot of productivity in the production of daily necessities.
For example, hot water bottles and iron bottles, which are more effective at retaining heat than wooden bottles, are not only used by the people in the territory, but many will also be sold to Yunshen Yuanshun and the distant Storm Territory.
The glass for the greenhouse was also under research, and Ye Miaomiao had allocated some of it to the research institute. Now that all the quota had been used up, there would be no more ironware left.
The second is excess food.
Speaking of food, we have to mention the cold-repelling dumplings first. Ever since Ye Miaomiao praised Rita's creativity, the others started competing with each other like chicken blood.
Today we have chicken stewed with fruit wine to ward off the cold, and tomorrow we have traditional spicy hot pot. You can cook a pot with a little chili and use it back and forth!
One day, while making a few bowls of dumplings, Master Wang suddenly remembered that dumplings are a traditional food that must be eaten on the Winter Solstice. While chatting after work, he blurted out, "Why do we have to eat them?"
After asking around, I couldn't find anyone educated! Fortunately, he has a wide circle of friends to chat with, and a retired elementary school teacher gave him some scientific knowledge.
It turns out that dumplings were originally used as medicine. When Zhang Zhongjing returned to his hometown of Nanyang, he saw many people along the streets half-dressed and with ears sore from the cold. He set up a large pot in an open space and filled it with mutton, cold-relieving medicine, and food in dough that happened to be shaped like ears.
The name "jiao'er" comes from this. Poor people each received two jiao'er and a bowl of soup, and their ears quickly warmed up.
Master Wang had a sudden idea and immediately went back to the cake shop and made two dumplings according to what his elementary school teacher said. With his skillful hands, he suddenly saw surprising properties!
Ye Miaomiao: “!”
Now the extra food has a place to go – making dumplings!
After several good harvests, the territory's wheat piled up halfway through the cellar, and there was plenty of wheat flour. Ye Miaomiao stocked the store with all kinds of raw meat, dumpling wrappers, and most importantly, mutton and cold-repellent foods.
You only need a little expensive lamb and cold-relieving food, plus more cheap raw meat, to make a cold-relieving dumpling.
Now, when people in the entire territory have free time, they sit together and start making dumplings. It’s so lively!
At the same time, the quilts were finally put on the shelves amidst everyone's attention.
Down quilts are more difficult to make, take longer to make, and are more expensive than cotton quilts. Ye Miaomiao, considering warmth as the most important factor, and comfort as the secondary, started by promoting cotton three-piece bedding sets throughout the territory.
Since the next disaster was a cold winter, the territory didn't produce thin quilts, so all of them weighed more than eight kilograms. Fortunately, cotton raw materials were not expensive, and a three-piece set only sold for thirty points.
While everything was going on in an orderly manner, some twists and turns occurred in Margaret's territory.
It turned out that Margaret encountered the same thing as the Hungry Hungry Shop at the Windsor Shop at the border crossing.
But unlike Ye Miaomiao, who found a way to deal with the excess ironware and food, Margaret encountered financial difficulties early on and had to rush to sell her things at a high price.
Especially after she endured the heartache and spent a lot of money to buy another batch of furs two days ago.
Margaret was increasingly resentful of this inexplicable disaster message and the sudden appearance of the border crossing. The former forced her to buy furs, and the latter gave her a store to buy furs.
Originally...originally she could have pretended that she knew nothing and just frozen some people to death!
Now, even after buying furs and giving them to the nobles, I still can't win them over! Who knew these people would be so obsessed with seeking justice for the poor?
She was asked to ensure food, clothing and shelter for the civilians, and to personally deliver clothes and food to the civilians.
It's ridiculous!
"Is this the store where you bought a lot of furs?"
At the border crossing, a man pointed to the Windsor shop. Inside were two tall, thin, sallow-faced young men in linen clothes, who looked nothing like "fat sheep."
"Of course I paid to ask! It's them!"
"Fur is the simplest and warmest clothing, and it's been driven up to sky-high prices! Who would spend money on fur at this time? What do you think?"
The two walked into the small shop blatantly. The goods sold in the shop were mostly iron tools, and the prices were almost three times higher than the ones on the task board. Even so, there were still people strolling around the store and checking out.
Looking at the remaining quantity to be sold, it is even more than that of the legendary “Hungry Hungry” shop!
With so many iron tools, who knows how rich they were!
It can be seen that this is indeed a fat sheep that has been overlooked.
The two of them immediately showed excitement on their faces and looked at each other: "Tomorrow?"
"No, call me brother, and take action tonight!"
The clerk, completely unaware, explained earnestly, "These are all handmade by our own people. The sound of forging continues day and night in our territory! Each one is of better quality than ordinary iron tools, I guarantee it! Please take a closer look, I..."
However, before he could finish his words, the two of them left without looking back.
The clerk sighed and said, "We really need your purchase." Then he tightened his clothes and went to serve the next customer.
