Chapter 027 Finally Believed
"Oh my god! How can it be so delicious!"
"It's so crispy and sweet! I've never had anything so delicious before. It doesn't even need any seasoning! It goes really well with rice!"
"If we take this dish to town and sell it, it will definitely fetch a lot of money!"
More and more people reached out to pick the vegetables, and some even ate them while stuffing them into their arms.
This is a vegetable grown by magic. Eating it might help you live longer!
Lu Xuan, who was originally planning to pick the vegetables after the meeting: "..."
Never mind, he can still afford this loss.
Seeing that the Zhang family seemed embarrassed to follow the villagers in picking vegetables to eat, he even took the initiative to pick some vegetables and handed them to Zhang Chengming and the others, saying, "You guys should try some too."
The villagers who didn't usually interact with them ate it, so why shouldn't those who were close to them get to eat it? That doesn't make sense.
After eating this dish, the Zhang family also discovered the deliciousness of the dish.
The cabbage is tender and crisp, and the cucumber tastes just like fruit. The more you eat it, the better it tastes, and you can’t stop!
Zhang Chengming held the cucumber in his hand and sighed, "This vegetable tastes better than meat."
Seeing the villagers getting so many vegetables grown with supernatural powers without spending a penny, the people in the live broadcast room wanted to crawl through the screen and join in.
Having seen the miracle and tasted the immortal food, no one doubted the words of the village chief and Lu Xuan anymore. Some villagers who usually believed in gods and immortals were so excited that they knelt down in front of Lu Xuan and shouted that the gods had come down to earth.
Chen Rong, who had questioned the village chief, opened his mouth in shock, his eyes almost popping out of the window. Xiong Mao, who had been frightened and humiliated in front of Lu Xuan not long ago, was even more fortunate that he had been aware of the situation before, otherwise who knew what secret means Lu Xuan would use to deal with him!
The audience in the live broadcast room watched with great interest but also felt a little confused.
[Aren't you worried, host, that they might suspect you're a monster and want to burn you to death? I heard that ancient people were very ignorant.]
Lu Xuan calmly asked, "Do they have the guts to burn me to death?"
Audience in the live broadcast room: ...Yes.
Considering the host's fighting power, it seems that there is really no need to worry about this problem.
As expected, if you have strength, you can be fearless and do whatever you want!
Li Tie coughed dryly, signaling the villagers who were shouting about the gods descending to earth to lower their voices. He then said to the others, "In short, this is it. The disaster is absolutely real, and it will happen in nine days. Stock up on as much food as you can in the next few days."
"I know you guys are frugal and reluctant to spend money on a daily basis, but once disaster strikes, even money won't be enough to buy a single grain of rice. It's up to you to decide whether to choose money or life."
He warned with a serious expression, "If you still don't believe me or are reluctant to part with the money, I won't force you. But if something happens later, don't blame others for not warning you. Okay, that's all I have to say. Go back and think about it carefully."
The villagers' expressions changed when they recalled those natural disasters that were scary just to hear about.
The excitement that had originally been caused by Lu Xuan's magic instantly plummeted to the bottom. Everyone became worried and gloomy. Thinking that they would soon face natural disasters and would have to consider spending money to stock up on goods, the villagers forgot about the magic and hurriedly left the threshing ground.
In the end, only the village chief's family, the Lu family, the Zhang family, the hunter Wu Cheng and a few others remained there.
While the villagers helped Lu Xuan pick the remaining vegetables, they continued to ask him more about the disaster, such as how hot it was during the drought and how cold it was during the cold weather.
Lu Xuan thought about it and told some news he had seen before.
For example, people who get heat stroke die very quickly. In a blizzard, the house is frozen by the heavy snow and people can't get out. If they go out and don't wear enough warm clothes, they may accidentally freeze their arms and legs off without even realizing it...
Tornadoes and tsunamis can destroy entire cities in an instant, leaving no one alive wherever they pass.
Everyone present felt a chill run down their spines after hearing this.
Lu Xuan did not specifically emphasize the scarcity of supplies under these extreme climates, but the village chief and others who had experienced drought knew how difficult it was to survive after a natural disaster.
Li Tuo, the village chief's youngest son, said with a pale face, "Can we really survive such a disaster?"
Li Jing patted his shoulder vigorously. "What are you talking about? The fact that we knew about the natural disaster in advance is because the gods didn't want to see us die and gave us the opportunity."
Zhang Chengming nodded vigorously, "That's right! We will definitely survive! My child is still young."
Li Jingshen agreed. His son was only seven years old. He wanted to see his son grow up and get married. How could he be defeated by a natural disaster?
Old Master Zhang groaned and said, "If it's hot, you can find a cool place to get through it, but if it's cold... you have to stock up on cotton, otherwise you'll freeze to death even if you survive the high temperatures."
Li Tie nodded in agreement, "That's right."
Wu Cheng, who was standing nearby, said, "We need to buy more salt. People lose their strength if they don't eat salt. When a natural disaster strikes, besides grain, the price of salt also rises the fastest."
Li Jing couldn't help but follow up, "Where's the water? There must be a shortage of water during the drought. Shouldn't we collect it in advance?"
Li Tuo, holding the large radish he had just pulled out, reminded him, "Brother, have you forgotten that the weather will change in nine days? Do you think the water you stored in advance will be safe by then?"
Li Jing suddenly realized, yes!
Lu Xuan said: "Don't worry about water for now. I have a way. There will be no shortage of water."
The others felt relieved when they thought of his magic.
The others were discussing what other supplies they needed to prepare. Zhang Chengming even specifically asked Lu Xuan what he had bought for reference.
Lu Xuan didn't hide anything and just gave a rough outline of his shopping list.
Lu Xuan asked knowingly: "Are you going to buy according to my order?"
Everyone shook their heads in unison, "No, no."
They were trying to escape, not enjoy themselves. They couldn't afford cakes, fruits, pork, mutton...
After much discussion, we finally decided to buy the same three things, and the rest were miscellaneous items that each family prepared privately based on their own circumstances.
With the help of everyone, the remaining vegetables in the threshing ground were finally picked before dark. The green vegetables, melons and fruits were sorted and placed in order. Lu Xuan took out the empty bags that he had specially stockpiled when checking for shortages and put all the vegetables in them, then put them away.
Li Tie and others were stunned. After learning that this was also a magic technique given by the gods, they became more convinced of Lu Xuan's ability. Before returning home, they made an appointment to go to Baisong Town to buy food tomorrow.
·
That night, every household in the village was very lively.
After the meeting, the villagers went back and told their families about the disaster period. At first, there was the inevitable struggle between belief and disbelief, and then they were shocked to learn that Lu Xuan had obtained immortal arts. Finally, they began to panic and were struggling with the issue of whether to buy supplies and how much to buy.
Everyone has different ideas, and disputes are inevitable.
People don't believe in superstitions. If they haven't seen the natural disaster happen with their own eyes, there will still be many people who doubt it, even if there is proof from magic.
If some people in a family believe and some don't, it will be even more chaotic. This is a matter of life and death/money, and no one is willing to give in. In order to suppress the other side, many families in the village quarrel too fiercely.
Even those daughters-in-law who usually endured silence stood up for their children and started fighting with their mothers-in-law. They almost had a family quarrel before they even started stockpiling supplies.
While others were still arguing, the quick-acting village chief's family, the Zhang family, the Wucheng family, and others had already made the decision to stock up on goods, and began to count their own assets, preparing to go to the town with others to buy food tomorrow.
There are only a few relatively wealthy families in the village, namely the village chief's family, the hunter Wucheng's family, the carpenter Ye, the tofu Liu family and others. The wealth of these seven families ranges from dozens of taels to as little as ten or twenty taels.
Even though it doesn't sound like much, they are not as picky as Lu Xuan who insists on buying refined rice and flour. If they just buy brown rice, one tael of silver can get them two hundred kilograms, and ten taels can get them two thousand kilograms. If they save a little, they can have enough to eat until the disaster is over.
Of course, they couldn't buy all the food. Salt was more expensive than food, and cotton was more expensive than salt. If they distributed the money here and there, the amount of food they could buy in the end would definitely be greatly reduced.
Despite this, it is not difficult for them to stockpile food for one or two years in advance.
Even Miao Jinfeng, Zhang Yang and other female family members felt that the stockpiled goods were too little after they had counted the accounts. They rummaged through the boxes and drawers and took out all their dowry jewelry, ready to sell them in exchange for more food to keep their families alive. It can be said that they were quite courageous.
Let's take a step back and say that if nothing really happens in the end, the worst that can happen is that you can buy the jewelry back.
-
At sunrise, many families who had not slept all night began to make noises, and the things that were not resolved yesterday began to whisper again. However, four people from the Lu family, headed by Lu Xuan, appeared at the village entrance early with silver in their pockets.
Lu Xuan opened the live broadcast room and aimed the camera at several other families who were also waiting at the village entrance.
Barrage:
【Wow, quite a few people have come.】
[Let me see. The village chief's family, the Zhang family who has a good relationship with the host's family, the hunter family, who are the others?]
Lu Xuan briefly introduced the other people to them.
In addition to the families he mentioned yesterday, there also came Aunt Sun, a widow who depended on her son for everything, Wei Xiang, a well-known female man in the village, and the most unexpected one... Xiong Mao.
The first few were fine, but both the audience in the live broadcast room and Lu Xuan were surprised by Xiong Mao's appearance.
Lu Qing whispered to Lu Xuan, "Are you surprised that Xiong Mao is here too?"
Lu Xuan remained noncommittal. "He doesn't look like a smart guy."
The audience in the live broadcast room: Haha, the host is really rude, but they also feel so, hehe.
Lu Qing chuckled, "He's not good at using his brain, but Su Ying is smart. With her around, Xiong Mao won't suffer any loss."
The people in the live broadcast room were shocked. Su Ying? The woman who tried to seduce the anchor but failed?
They thought that the other party only had a face to look at. After all, Su Ying's performance last time was really hard to leave a good impression on people.
In fact, Su Ying not only relies on her pretty face to deceive the men in the village to work for her, but is also quite smart. She knows very well who she can offend and who she cannot offend. She will not suffer losses easily, and will not miss any benefits that can be obtained.
With her around, even though Xiong Mao was a simple-minded, big fool with strong limbs, he never fell behind others in serious matters.
The audience was moved after hearing this, thinking that you can't judge a person by his appearance, and they were a little more impressed.
As they were talking, Baisong Town was already in sight.
