When the soldiers saw the full warehouse of grain, they all turned into mice in the rice jar and ran around happily.
Chen Gan took the portrait off the rice bag and handed it to Yang Jin.
"General, look!"
"Portraits of gods!"
Yang Jin looked at the figure in the portrait. It was a woman in a red robe, with long hair fluttering in the wind and a sharp sword hidden behind her. She was standing on a high slope.
He stared at the portrait and whispered, "It may not be a god!"
The soldiers all believed that it was a blessing from the gods, but there were no gods in the world.
When the famine first struck Zhiyi City, there was no sign of gods providing food.
All this is just Mr. Gu's trick!
But no matter what the process is, the result is good for the people of Zhiyi City!
...
...
Mr. Gu helped to stop the famine in Yicheng. He is a very kind person!
At this moment, Xiao Jingzhou led his men into the granary.
When Yang Jin saw him, he immediately knelt on one knee.
"Thank you, Mr. Gu, for resolving Yicheng's food shortage!"
Xiao Jingzhou helped him up and said, "General Yang, there is no need to be polite. I have already done what I promised.
Next, it will be up to the general to lead the soldiers to provide porridge to the people of Zhiyi City. ”
Qi Hou had been hungry for a day and wanted to eat something.
He volunteered: "I'll have someone boil water and cook porridge now!"
He had just taken two steps when Yang Jin shouted at him.
"Come back here!"
Qi Hou stopped and turned to look at Yang Jin, his expression full of confusion and even a bit of aggrieved.
Yang Jin wanted to pry open his brain to see if it was filled with paste!
Xiao Jingzhou said: "The sun is about to set, it's too late to cook rice and porridge now.
If the fragrance of rice drifts up to the sky and attracts the people of Zhiyi City to gather here at night, it would not be a good thing. ”
Qi Hou didn't think of this. He just thought that if he had the rice in the pot and cooked the porridge earlier, maybe he could save a life.
He scratched his head sheepishly: "What should we do now?"
Xiao Jingzhou continued, "Rest tonight, and start boiling water and cooking porridge at 3 a.m.."
"Tomorrow morning, when we distribute porridge, soldiers will be stationed in front of the porridge stalls to prevent people from rushing to grab it and causing a stampede."
This time Qi Hou learned his lesson and did not agree immediately.
He looked at Yang Jin and waited patiently for him to speak.
When Yang Jin thought of the several warehouses full of grain, he couldn't suppress a smile. Even if Xiao Jingzhou said there were ten conditions, he would agree to them all.
What's more, the ideas proposed by Xiao Jingzhou coincided with his own.
He waved his hand to Qi Hou: "Follow Mr. Gu's arrangements, go!"
After receiving the order, Qi Hou took a group of soldiers out to work.
The sky darkened and the moon climbed up into the sky.
When the soldiers saw the warehouses were full of food but they couldn't eat it, their taste buds rebelled and their hearts, livers and lungs felt itchy.
However, when they thought about having delicious porridge when the sun rose, they didn't feel the time was unbearable anymore.
As the hour of Yin approached, the people in the granary began to get busy.
The big pot was cleaned in advance, and it is many times better than the rusty pot at the South Gate!
The soldiers poured water into the pot and added firewood to the stove in an orderly manner.
Chen Gan led people to carry rice to the pot.
Qi Hou picked up the knife and cut it into the middle of the bag like he was cutting a watermelon. Plastic fragments were mixed in with the rice.
Seeing this, Xiao Jingzhou quickly asked Lu Chen to stop.
He walked to where the rice bags were piled, saw the seams of the bags, and cut the threads with a knife.
He reached out and pulled the thread, and the rice bag opened.
Qi Hou’s eyes widened. Why didn’t he think of opening the bag this way?
Xiao Jingzhou said to Qi Houdao: "Go and demonstrate to the other soldiers."
"These rice crumbs should be washed out separately.
Keep the rice washing water and filter it with gauze, then continue cooking the porridge! ”
Qi Hou was still in shock and nodded woodenly.
After he walked a few steps away, he realized that he had not known when he had started to obey Xiao Jingzhou's orders.
Xiao Jingzhou taught the soldiers how to open the bag, and they quickly learned it and increased their speed a lot.
Qi Hou sighed repeatedly: "It's true that everyone has their own specialty!"
“This bag actually has two layers, which is not only waterproof but also dirt-proof.
Such a good bag must be kept to store food in the future! ”
Water was so scarce that even though there were ten large buckets of water in the granary, the soldiers were reluctant to spill even a drop.
Not to mention using water to wash rice.
Therefore, they skipped the process of washing the rice and simply poured the rice into the pot to cook after opening the bag.
"Look, when the rice is poured into the pot, there's not even a husk left!"
"I have never seen such clean rice in my life!"
"It is truly God-given rice, so clean!"
The rice was poured into the pot, and the soldiers stirred it with a shovel as tall as a person.
Lu Chen had never seen such a big shovel before. He came up to Xiao Jingzhou and said with sparkling eyes:
"Young Master, the things sent by the gods are so useful."
Xiao Jingzhou looked around and felt reassured by the soldiers' orderly movements.
He said: "She is careful."
When they were in exile, Miss Jiang transported everything in great detail, even many aspects that he had not thought of, and she did it flawlessly.
Gu Zhenbei breathed a sigh of relief: "The food has arrived and the porridge has been cooked.
Now we just have to wait until dawn to provide porridge to the people of Zhiyi City. ”
After working so hard for so long, there is finally good news.
Xiao Jingzhou ordered the cooking of porridge, which would both fill the stomach and quench thirst, killing two birds with one stone.
Soon, the porridge in the small pot was cooked, and the porridge in the big pot was almost done too.
Yang Jin first let his soldiers drink enough food so that they would have the strength to serve porridge and maintain order in the porridge shed at daybreak.
“It smells so good!”
"As soon as the rice was put into the pot, I could smell the fragrance. I was so greedy that my saliva almost flowed into the pot."
"Hahaha, if you dare to drool into the pot, the general will chop off your head!"
Lu Chen held a bowl of porridge and handed it to Xiao Jingzhou.
Gu Zhenbei had already started drinking.
He blew the hot air, took a sip, and couldn't help but exclaim:
"Although this is white porridge, it is sweet and soft, so delicious!"
The soldiers drank their fill of hot porridge, and the dark sky gradually brightened.
The south gate is not far from the granary.
Although it was a bit troublesome to transport it, Xiao Jingzhou believed that distributing the porridge in the porridge shed was the safest option.
At daybreak, the soldiers carried the one-meter-long pot and the porridge to the porridge shed at the south gate.
The people who were sleeping on the streets gradually woke up when they smelled the fragrance of porridge.
"Is this the Hades? I seem to smell porridge."
"I think I smelled it, too. How nice it is that I can have a bowl of porridge before reincarnation!"
"Wow, wow, Tainan, where are you? I'm so hungry!"
"But why is it still bright outside? Shouldn't it be pitch dark in the underworld?"
“Maybe it’s a stereotype.”
More and more people smelled the fragrance of the rice porridge and tried to support themselves and get up.
Suddenly, someone shouted.
"Look what that is?"
"It's porridge! It's food!"
"Am I seeing things? Is this really porridge?"
"Great, we are saved!"
"There are soldiers distributing porridge at the South Gate. Everyone, hurry up and get some!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people lying on the ground slowly got up like bamboo shoots growing after the rain.
People filed out and ran to the porridge stall at the south gate.
