Chapter 704 Ancient Young General vs. Rich and Beautiful Lady 7
Huo Xiao heard a gentle and ethereal female voice coming from the bronze mirror, like the sound of nature.
He quickly lit three incense sticks, bowed again and again, and said respectfully: "It was Xiao who was rude and disturbed the gods again. The gods have already given us a lot of food and water. It was Xiao who was greedy and hoped to get more blessings from the gods."
"Pingyang City has been under siege for several months. The Northern Rong army is eyeing the city covetously and may attack at any time. The food granted by the gods is only enough for 20,000 soldiers to survive for a few more days. However, there are still 70,000 to 80,000 civilians in the city. They have long been out of food and are all skinny. People are already eating their own children."
"Xiao really couldn't bear to see the people starve to death, so he could only offer these mundane things and pray to the gods to bless him again."
After the shock, Ji Yunhuan accepted the reality calmly.
Soon, she figured out that the bronze mirror was connected to another world. The food swallowed by the bronze mirror was teleported to Pingyang City and saved many people, so the merit value kept increasing.
Huo Xiao's voice is very pleasant, a clear and cool boyish voice, like the sound of a mountain spring hitting rocks, clear and pleasant. It sounds like he is a college student who has not graduated yet, but he is already a major general guarding Pingyang City.
Ji Yunhuan was not good at history and did not remember any Wei State. However, when she heard about the tragic situation and the young general's anxiety, she felt very sympathetic.
"Don't call me a god. It sounds weird. My name is Ji Yunhuan. I'm just an ordinary rich man. I just happen to have this bronze mirror, so I can give you something."
"How can such a small amount of food be enough to feed 20,000 people for several days? Don't worry, I will go out to buy more food and send it over later. Don't worry, I won't let you go hungry!"
"You haven't had breakfast yet? I'll give you some. You said you were injured. You have to eat three meals a day. You can't miss out on nutrition."
The steamed dumplings and xiaolongbao in front of him disappeared in an instant, and the mirror surface rippled, but soon returned to smoothness.
Huo Xiao saw the food given by the gods, four exquisite little buns, emitting bursts of meaty aroma, and four transparent dumplings, each with a whole shrimp inside.
The buns are fluffy and soft, not dry or hard at all, which is amazing.
Huo Xiao carefully picked one up and put it in his mouth. It was so delicious! The skin was as soft as cotton, and the meat inside was not dry, woody, or fishy, and it was very tasty.
The crystal clear dumplings are like a work of art. The moment you bite them, the fresh and tender taste blooms between your lips and teeth. Not to mention the current shortage of food, even if there is an abundance of food, the cook cannot make such delicious food.
It really is food from the fairyland, different from that from the mortal world.
A warm feeling surged through Huo Xiao's heart. The gods were indeed kind and cared deeply for him.
Huo Xiao bowed towards the bronze mirror. Even though the gods couldn't see it, he was still very respectful.
"Thank you, God! With the food God has given me, Xiao feels much better! There is a shortage of water in the city. If it is convenient, please ask God to give me water as soon as possible."
"It's convenient. Just find a place to fill up your water and I'll deliver it to you right away."
Ji Yunhuan moved the bronze mirror to the backyard, where there was an artificial lotus pond and a swimming pool. It was covered on all sides and was well concealed, so it would not be discovered.
Ji Yunhuan filled the swimming pool with water, kept the faucet running, and placed the bronze mirror in.
In order to cover up her tracks, she called the property management and told them that she wanted to clean the lotus pond and replant lotus leaves, and asked them not to make a fuss.
After taking care of these trivial matters, Ji Yunhuan went to the underground garage.
There are dozens of luxury cars parked in the garage, more than half of which are brightly colored sports cars that she and her mother like. Although they don't drive them often, they can't help but buy them when they see one they like, and the garage can't hold them all.
However, these cars are flashy and not very suitable for shopping.
Ji Yunhuan continued walking forward. Near the garage door were some commonly used cars parked. They were all gray and black in color. They looked very low-key, but in fact they were not cheap at all.
Her father's aesthetic taste has never changed and is still so old-fashioned.
Ji Yunhuan chose a Maybach. In her opinion, this thing was similar to a van and not cool at all. Anyone who bought it would be a big fool. She only looked at the appearance when buying a car. She wouldn't buy one that didn't look good!
But this car is big enough to hold a lot of things, so it is just right to drive out today.
Ji Yunhuan drove to the nearest vegetable market.
Walking further in, Ji Yunhuan chose a grain and oil shop with the largest storefront. The name of the shop was simple and unpretentious. The owner's surname was Hu, so it was called Hu's Grain and Oil Shop.
Ji Yunhuan looked like a young girl who had never touched women. Boss Hu glanced at her and did not move. "Feel free to look around. I have the goods here in full weight and I guarantee that they are fair to everyone."
Ji Yunhuan saw all kinds of rice, which looked very fresh and had no strange smell, so he said, "I want all of them. I'll take as much as you have!"
Boss Hu's eyes lit up. This was an important customer. It was obvious that she was a young girl who didn't know anything about the business. He could just raise the price and make a fortune.
"These are all new rices of the season. They have just arrived. The most expensive ones are over a hundred yuan per catty, and the cheapest ones are more than twenty yuan per catty. There are still 20,000 catties of goods in the warehouse. If you want all of them, I can give you a cheaper price of 30 yuan per catty. I will only sell in bulk and not make money from you."
Ji Yunhuan knew that she was young and inexperienced, and she really didn't know how to cook, so she didn't know much about the market, but the boss was treating her like a fool.
She doesn't know how to buy groceries or cook, but she can check online. A bag of 10 kilograms of rice online is only about 50 yuan, and there are even cheaper ones.
She is rich, but she won't be taken advantage of!
"Five yuan a pound, I want all 20,000 pounds. I want as much as you can get. And these grains, flour, noodles, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, I want them all."
"I am purchasing for the company. We have a large number of people and a huge demand. The previous supplier sold inferior products as good ones, so we stopped cooperating with them. We are now looking for a new supplier."
The smile on Boss Hu's face grew wider and wider. He thought it was a one-time deal, but unexpectedly he turned out to be a long-term customer.
He immediately changed his tone and said with a smile, "If you want more, I'll sell it to you for five dollars! Within three days, I'll get you 100,000 kilograms of rice, and I guarantee to deliver it to your door."
"I can also get you 50,000 kilograms of cereals, but cereals are more expensive than refined rice. 50,000 kilograms of flour, 50,000 kilograms of handmade noodles, 100 barrels of cooking oil, 5,000 bags of salt, and other condiments. It will definitely be enough!"
Ji Yunhuan made a rough estimate. If it was raw rice, a normal person would eat about 250 grams a day, and after cooking it would be about 700 grams.
According to the 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Pingyang City, 50,000 kilograms of food are consumed a day, and 100,000 kilograms are only enough for two days. With other food, it should be enough for three or four days.
She promised Huo Xiao that she would never let the people of Pingyang City go hungry again, and she would definitely do it.
"If this cooperation goes well, I will come to you again in the future. Send all the spot goods to this warehouse, and the rest should arrive within three days. If the speed is slow, I will find someone else to cooperate with."
