More and more people in the city were flocking towards us like a tide. For a moment, the open space was crowded with people.
Wang Jie and his family finally squeezed through the crowd, and then rushed to help maintain order, shouting loudly for everyone not to come any closer.
Nourished by the aroma, the people in the crowd were in much better spirits. They began to talk among themselves, their eyes full of curiosity and desire.
One of the burly men shouted at the top of his voice, "What's that delicious thing cooking in this pot? Why does my body slowly get better after I smell this aroma?"
A tall and thin monk next to him also echoed: "I'm fine too."
This morning I was paralyzed in bed and couldn't get up. I finally crawled out onto the street and suddenly smelled this aroma. Now I want to have a bite of this delicious food in the pot."
At this time, the meat in the pot was gurgling and rolling in the boiling water, and the rich aroma had spread to the entire Nanlin City like an invisible silk thread.
I looked around and saw that not only was the ground filled with people, it was so densely packed, but even the roof was covered with people.
Everyone stretched their necks and stared at the pot eagerly.
My heart sank suddenly and I couldn't help but worry. What if a stampede occurred and hurt these people who had just recovered a little bit of strength?
I quickly called out to my second brother, "Second brother, I see the people in the city are almost recovered. Let's divide the meat among them and leave quickly."
The second brother nodded slightly and said "OK".
At this time, some of the monks who had recovered their spirits were excitedly taking videos with their mobile phones.
Some people shouted directly from below: "This is the real person's pot. I saw it in the live broadcast room. Eating the meat in this pot can increase your cultivation!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd instantly exploded and became even more restless.
The situation got out of control for a while, and many monks below began to push and shove, resulting in a stampede, and some even resorted to violence.
Some of them rushed towards us regardless of everything just to grab a piece of food from the pot.
When I saw this chaotic scene, I was panicked and didn't know what to do.
I quickly called Sister Yanran to come and help me up, then forced myself to remain calm, stood in front of Su Qiyuan and the others, and shouted with all my strength, "Fellow Daoists, please remain calm!"
However, my voice was so weak in the noisy crowd that it was almost drowned out.
Seeing this, Su Qiyuan emanated a powerful aura of pressure from his body, like an invisible force that intimidated those crazy people.
The people around were instantly suppressed by this force and fell silent.
I looked at Su Qiyuan, whispered a thank you, and then shouted again, "Fellow Daoists, please remain calm. We are cooking food here so that everyone can recover as soon as possible. We don't want you to get hurt again by fighting over food."
However, discordant voices rang out from the crowd. One monk shouted, "I've tried several times in the live broadcast room of a real person but failed. I'm going to grab it this time no matter what."
As he spoke, he was about to rush forward again. Many monks were led by him and began to squeeze forward restlessly.
I looked at the chaotic scene in front of me and realized that this was not a solution. Moreover, we were all injured and it was difficult to maintain order.
Suddenly, I remembered that Wang Jie and others had said before that many cultivators were going to Dongling Pavilion to buy mobile phones.
An idea struck him, and he said, "I know you all are eager to eat the meat in this pot.
But I also know that many of you don’t have mobile phones, right?”
When the monks who didn't have cell phones heard what I said, they seemed to have found resonance and shouted, "Yes, we want a cell phone."
Seeing this, I said, "Would anyone without a cell phone please line up? I have cell phones here and will give them out for free. I'll also bring some delicious food from the pot."
When the monks who didn't have cell phones heard what I said, they cheered happily, and then stood aside in an orderly manner, forming a long line.
Then I loudly said to everyone, "Those of you who have cell phones, please line up. We will distribute the food in the pot for free to everyone, ensuring that everyone can have a bite."
At this time, the crowd below was no longer restless, and they all lined up in an orderly manner into neat and tidy teams. Even the people around the roof found their positions and lined up in a row.
When Su Qiyuan heard what I said, his eyes were unclear. "Ling'er, how come there are so many mobile phones?"
I looked at Su Qiyuan's puzzled expression and didn't know how to explain it at the moment.
I could only tell Wang Jie and the others to pick more leaves and get me a longer table.
Then he comforted the people below and asked them to wait for a moment.
The monks below all said happily: "Little Fairy, we will wait patiently, you must keep your promise!"
I smiled and nodded, but I was secretly thinking about how to deal with the next situation.
Wang Jie and the others quickly prepared what I had asked them to do, while I was thinking about how to use limited resources to meet the needs of so many people while preventing the situation from getting out of control again.
After a while, Wang Jie and the others came back with the leaves and put them on the table.
I took this opportunity to carefully observe the food in the pot to make sure it was large enough for so many people.
Then I asked Sister Yanran and three maids to help divide the food in the pot into small portions and place them on the prepared leaf plates.
Then, I quickly went backstage and bought 50,000 mobile phones.
According to the order of the team, mobile phones and food were distributed to the monks who did not have mobile phones first. Seeing them accepting them with joy, I felt a little relieved in my heart.
Then, food was distributed to the monks who had mobile phones. Everyone received it in an orderly manner, and there was no recurrence of the previous chaotic scene.
When the last person received the food, the crowd erupted in cheers and thanks.
After a busy day, I breathed a sigh of relief in exhaustion.
Looking up, the sky was already shrouded in dusk and dim.
We all dragged our wounded bodies and slowly returned to the inn.
As soon as I stepped into the inn, the innkeeper came to greet me with a big smile on his face, and the joy and respect in his eyes were beyond words.
He said eagerly, "Seniors, you've worked really hard today! If you hadn't stepped forward, who knows what kind of predicament our Nanlin City would have fallen into."
I quickly responded humbly: "Boss, this is what we should do."
After that, we each walked towards our rooms. When we got back to the room, Sister Yanran had just helped me sit down, and before I could recover from the shock, the cell phone rang suddenly.
