Chapter 706 Young General vs. Rich Lady 9
There was music playing in the car, Ji Yun was humming a song, and they returned home with a full load.
After her parents left, she was traumatized by the hustle and bustle of the street, but the existence of the bronze mirror was too magical, so she didn't dare tell An Tong, let alone ask anyone else to do it. She had no choice but to go out by herself.
With a goal in mind, she was not so scared when she went out. She also felt very happy to see the old lady's grateful look.
Her mother taught her since she was young that giving roses to others will leave a lingering fragrance on your hands.
My father often said that if you are successful, you should help the world, so he set up a charity foundation to support children in the mountain villages.
It really makes you happy to help others within your ability.
Fortunately, she has money, can save a city, and can help Huo Xiao, so she is happy.
Ji Yunhuan parked the car in front of the villa and went to the back garden.
The swimming pool was very dry, and all the water was absorbed by the bronze mirror. Ji Yunhuan turned off the faucet, moved the bronze mirror to the passenger seat, and drove to the warehouse.
The warehouse was located in a remote location, in the opposite direction of the villa. When Ji Yunhuan arrived, the goods from Hu's Grain and Oil Store had already been delivered.
The workers were unloading the goods. Uncle Zheng, with a limp on one leg, was busy running around, weighing, checking the goods, sorting them, and directing the workers to move the goods to the designated location. After counting them, he took the delivery note and asked Ji Yunhuan to sign it.
Ji Yunhuan was very satisfied. He gave red envelopes to everyone who unloaded the goods and also gave Uncle Zheng a bonus.
"More goods will be delivered within three days. Uncle Zheng, please keep an eye on them. Please notify me as soon as they arrive."
"Uncle Zheng, you should go back and have a rest first. I am going to donate these things, and someone will come to pick them up soon."
Uncle Zheng had no doubt that when Boss Ji was alive, he often donated money and materials, and this warehouse was originally used for this purpose.
After everyone left, Ji Yunhuan immediately moved the bronze mirror into the warehouse. The warehouse was quite large. She had just recovered from a serious illness and was very tired.
"It would be great if you could move on your own. What else can you do besides eating? It's so gray and you can't even see a person clearly after scrubbing it for so long. You're no better than an ordinary mirror."
The bronze mirror shook, as if in protest.
Another line of green words appeared at the top, and the price had risen to more than three thousand.
Ji Yun was filled with joy and happiness. "If my merit points are high, will I be able to see human figures?"
"That's true. Just think of it as a game with real money. It's a real-life game with a city of 100,000 people. I spent so much money, so I should be able to go and see it."
"I don't know if this mirror can transmit living things. I'll test it when I have time."
Ji Yunhuan found a small cart, put the bronze mirror in it, and soon arrived at the warehouse where rice was stored.
In an instant, 20,000 kilograms of rice disappeared.
Cereals, noodles, cooking oil, salt, buns and dumplings in the freezer, steamed buns, flower rolls and scallion pancakes, and all kinds of braised chicken, duck and meat all disappeared.
Thousands of kilograms of vegetables, fruits and melons in the cold storage were also transferred over, and finally large pieces of meat, both fresh and pickled.
After doing all this, Ji Yunhuan felt a blackout in front of his eyes, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.
She carried the bronze mirror into the car and emptied the trunk.
His stomach was rumbling, so Ji Yunhuan drove to Hanyuan Hotel for a meal. After returning home, he fell asleep.

General's Mansion.
Huo Xiao heard the instructions from the gods early in the morning and immediately moved the bronze mirror to the side of the reservoir. He ordered his confidants to guard it and not allow anyone to approach.
Several large water vats filled with water were placed in the back alley of the general's mansion, connected to them by a bamboo pipe, and clear water flowed out continuously.
Before daybreak, people lined up in long queues. Yesterday, only a small number of people came to get water. Today, everyone in the city knew that there was water, so more people came.
Seeing that there was really water, the desperate people finally saw a glimmer of hope. Even if they were still hungry, at least they would not die of thirst.
Drinking water can fill the stomach, and then boiling some yellow grass roots or Guanyin soil, the family can hold on for a few more days.
When Huo Xiao came out, many people looked over. Their lips were dry, their voices were hoarse, their throats felt like they were burning, and they no longer had the strength to speak.
They knelt down in front of Huo Xiao, expressing their gratitude.
Although water was so precious, the General's Mansion distributed the water to the people of the entire city. It was General Huo who saved their lives.
Huo Xiao waved his hand to get everyone up, and shouted: "God bless the Huo family army! The gods have given us clean water. As long as the Huo family army is still there, Pingyang City will not perish!"
"The gods will grant us more blessings, and the imperial court will send reinforcements. The current difficulties are only temporary. We have water and food. As long as we can hold on, we will survive! The Huo family army swears to defend Pingyang City to the death and will not retreat a single step!"
Huo Xiao didn't know when the gods would deliver the food. The gods said they would go out to purchase it, but it would definitely take time to raise enough food for 100,000 people.
The city has been without water and food for so long that chaos has already occurred. He must stabilize the people's hearts. The Northern Rong are watching covetously, and the city cannot be in chaos again.
The people drank the water and felt hopeful. Although there were many people queuing up to get water, there was no trouble because the Huo family army was stationed around.
After Huo Xiao returned to the house, Wen Bo brought in a bowl of instant noodles with pickled mustard tubers and canned meat in it, which smelled of meat.
"Major General, you shared the food given by the gods with us. You must not have eaten enough. The entire Pingyang City depends on you. You are also injured. Please eat more."
Huo Xiao only ate one small steamed bun and one crystal dumpling, and shared the rest with Wen Bo and the other two so that they could also replenish their appetite.
Huo Xiao could no longer remember what it felt like to be full. Although the gods had given him food, there were more people, so he had to be frugal.
There were only three servants left in the general's mansion, and if he hadn't forced them, the three of them would not have refused to eat.
Huo Xiao gave a bowl of instant noodles to Wen Bo and said without question, "Sit down and eat together."
The two of them sat opposite each other, and the only sound left was the sound of slurping noodles.
Huo Xiao had never eaten such delicious noodles. Even the imperial chef could not make such a taste. The noodles were thin, soft and silky. The instant noodles came with a seasoning packet, which was salty and could also replenish salt.
The canned meat was also very flavorful, the meat was fresh and tender, and the bones were soft and crispy. Huo Xiao ate it with the bones, and it didn't get stuck in his throat at all.
Huo Xiao was sweating profusely while eating and even drank up all the soup.
Wen Bo went downstairs to clean up the dishes when a messenger soldier came running in hurriedly. There was blood on his arm, which did not look like a knife wound but an injury caused by a blunt object.
The soldier knelt on one knee and said anxiously, "Report! A mob attacked the troops transporting grain. They are outnumbered and there are also old, weak, women and children blocking the way. We have to guard the grain and cannot do anything. Many people have been injured. Major General, please go and take a look!"
