Chapter 256: Instant Noodles and Milk Powder
Ai Qilu looked at the form on the desk and had a headache. In the past two weeks, the price of grain in the markets of the major southern consular districts has risen steadily, almost tenfold. The kingdom used almost all the money in the treasury to buy grain and ship it to the south, a necessity that further pushed up the price of food.
Although he had already sent Caroline to ask for help from Melowe, it was impossible to solve the fire from far water, and it was impossible to transport food from Melovi without more than ten days. Moreover, Agile didn't know how much Glove could help.
Although she believed that Teacher Meiyi would spare no effort to help her, she had no idea how much she could help.
Just as she was looking at the papers, Sakura walked in with a document and said, "Queen, Caroline just sent a letter from Melowe. β
Ai Qilu opened the letter and looked at it, a little unable to believe her eyes: "What? Lady Victor transported more than 100 ships of supplies to various southern consular districts overnight yesterday? How could it be so fast? Also, how can they have so much food? What? They also shipped a whole thousand boxes of penicillin injections to the south, and wasn't that more expensive than gold? β
Sakura smiled bitterly, "I don't think it's strange anything that happened to Meiyi. β
Ai Qi Luxi said: "Great, immediately ordered all consular districts to plant potatoes on a large scale, as long as they survive these two or three months, the potatoes can be harvested." The food problem can be solved. And that corn, which can also be planted. Now, no one will say that they can't get used to eating these things, right? β
Sakura Dance took the order and left.
Agiro stood up, moved her stiff neck and arms, looked at the sparkling Lake Melohia outside the window, and said, "Teacher, you have done so much for me, I don't know how to thank you anymore." β

South Fairy Forest Market Street.
Since the floods, food prices have continued to reach new highs, draining the last silver coin of countless residents of the Southern Fairy Forest. After eating the food, the inhabitants of the Southern Fairy Forest had to go to the forest to pick wild fruits and dig plant tubers. However, it is only March and April, so how can there be any wild fruits to pick?
When Feng Di came to the market street to check the grain sales, he suddenly found that there were suddenly no people on the bustling market street, and only a few rich merchants and nobles remained.
It's a bit strange that there aren't many people buying food lately, but there are a lot of victims. Now, how come there is no shadow of these victims?
Until noon, no one came.
Just as he was getting more and more uneasy, the servant of the house came running and said in a panic: "Master, it's not good! MelovΓͺve is distributing supplies, and the victims have run there to get food! They won't come to buy food anymore! β
Under the thunderbolt on a sunny day, Feng Di said angrily: "How much food can Mei Luowei have in a big place?" Let him send it, and when he finishes it, he leaves. β
The servant cried out, "Sir, go and see!" Only three ships of goods had been unloaded by more than a dozen ships, and the supplies had almost filled the temple of the goddess Emilia and the mansion of the great lord left behind by the wind. Most of the people who rescued the disaster were also goblins, and looking at the costumes, most of them did not look like the people of Melovi, but the people of the Northern Fairy Forest. β
Feng Yi gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, good, this stinky woman is really calculating, and she actually took advantage of this time to win people's hearts." Pass on my order, immediately gather the soldiers in the mansion, and go and arrest the descendants of the Liu clan who disturbed the market and bewitched the residents of the Southern Fairy Forest! β
"Yes, sir!"
* * *
Liuluo, the Liuxi sisters, Peosira, and the priests of the Southern Fairy Forest, along with the people of Melovi on the ship, were busy for almost the whole night, and finally all the victims had breakfast. Liuxi stood there and looked at it for a while, frowned slightly, and said, "Sister, you can't let the children eat instant noodles, you have to bring some milk powder." β
The victims who were standing near Liuxi almost didn't faint, and said in their hearts: Queen Mei Luowei, when is this coming, it's good to have something hot to eat, just let the children eat some noodles and drink some noodle soup to get through, how can there be so much attention? Not to mention, we're still well fed. It's called instant noodles, and it's so delicious.
Peosila and Windtrail's daughter, her niece, Windno, are busy treating the sick residents of the Southern Fairy Forest. The room in the Great Lord's Mansion was temporarily used as a ward, and Feng Nuo was not unhappy in the slightest. She looked at the victims who were no longer frightened, and whispered to her aunt that this was the Southern Fairy Forest she wanted.
The mansion of the lord of the Great Lord, together with the nearby school, shrine, and property of the Wind Trace, was used as a temporary resettlement area, and it was tossed until noon, and everything was already in order, boiling water, preparing food, maintaining order, admitting the sick, carrying out epidemic prevention and disinfection, and replanting the crops, and the panic slowly subsided.
The priests and enlightened nobles of the Southern Fairy Forest can clearly see why the victims did not riot - the reason is that the queen of Melovi, Liuxi, the archbishop of the elven kingdom, and the sister of the high lord Feng Qian, who returned from Melowe, and especially the queen of Melowe, Liuxi.
MelovΓͺ not only sent the supplies over, but also sent the queen over, and anyone would feel extremely relieved.
At this time, the Queen of Liuxi was talking to one of the captains of MerovΓ«, who was about to sail back: "Please tell the king that some of the things here are very good, that everyone has been properly settled, that they have enough to eat, and that they have enough medicine, and that he should bring some more things." One is milk powder, many babies can only drink some rice soup and noodle soup now, which is not good for the stomach. The second is eggs. The goblin clan doesn't eat meat, doesn't eat fish, and can't keep up with nutrition without eggs. The third is seeds, especially potato seedlings and corn seeds. β
The captain was about to leave after saluting, but Liuxi stopped her again, thought for a while, and said, "Let him eat well at home alone, don't always make Perti angry, and ...... And ......"
Liuxi's face was flushed and he couldn't speak.
The captain understood at a glance, showed a bright smile, gave a thumbs up, and said handsomely: "Queen, I understand what you mean. Just let me tell the king that you miss him very much, don't you? β
"Let's go!" Liuxi was angry, and his face was as red as an apple.
The surrounding residents of the Southern Fairy Forest couldn't help but laugh.
Liuluo had never eaten instant noodles, so he soaked himself in a bucket of tomatoes and eggs and tasted it, and as soon as he took a bite, he was shocked and said to Liuxi: "Liuxi, this thing is delicious, do you usually eat it often in Meiluowei?" What a blessing. β
Liuxi said with a black line on his face: "Sister, this is used by those who are unwilling to cook for emergency food, and it is also used as a reserve food, because it can be stored for a long time." However, because there are no vegetables and eggs in it, it does not provide much nutrition. Pelti and Meiyi's cooking was delicious, I only ate it once. β
The surrounding residents of the Southern Fairy Forest were stunned when they heard that the king could cook at home.
After eating instant noodles, Liuluo suddenly found that his portrait was reflected in the instant noodle box!
She was surprised: "Liuxi, this is ...... Isn't this me? β
Liuluo said: "It's you, and your name is written on it." β
Liuluo was surprised: "What's going on?" Why should I put my portrait on instant noodles? β
Liuxi said: "I asked you to use your portrait in the design of MelovΓͺ, and you agreed." β
She picked up a bucket and said, "Look, it's my mother who painted it on it, and my mother agreed." β
Liuluo picked up a bucket: "This is Serena." β
She flipped through it again, and found that Illya, Loloki, and herself from the main temple, the three queens of Melovi, the Queen of Ripple in the Fairy Forest, and even Queen Agiro and Caroline's chief of staff were all present on the instant noodle bucket.
But the most of them are the characters of Queen Aqilu and the Northern Fairy Forest.
Liuluo instantly understood Meiyi's intentions, and was surprised in his heart: this Meiyi is really amazing.
No, it's not just Mei Yi, it's the whole Mei Luowei, the instant noodles piled up like a hill with exactly the same portrait reflected on it, placed in the elf kingdom, this is simply unimaginable.
What exactly did he do?
The goods on the ship were unloaded one after another, and Liuxi was surprised to find that the milk powder for the baby and various vegetables and fruits were ready. She happily hurriedly beckoned someone to soak the babies in milk powder, and saw how happy the babies were to fall asleep after eating.
A deep sense of loss hit her heart again, she thought: I have been married to Brother Meiyi for a long time, and he has always loved me very much, why, I am still not pregnant?
Her mood suddenly hesitated.
Suddenly, there was a commotion, and Feng Di came with his mansion guards and was about to smash the field.
As soon as Feng Qi saw the mountains of food and medicine piled up in front of him, especially when he saw that the drugs that were hyped up to sky-high prices were piled up everywhere, a sense of jealousy rose in his heart, and his eyes swept to Liuluo and Liuxi sitting on a fallen big tree, snorted, and said, "Go and arrest all those demagogic people in the Northern Fairy Forest!" Seize all those supplies! β
The victims, who had managed to settle down, suddenly panicked again.
Liuxi stood up, patted the dust and moss on his body, and slowly walked towards Fengqi.
Feng Yi was so frightened that he took a few steps back and said to his subordinates, "Give it to me!" β
His men were not fools, but they heard that the victims had called that woman a queen, and they didn't have to think about it to know that it was the queen of Melove.
These guards did not have the slightest ill feeling towards Mei Yi, the king of Melovi and the former Grand Lord of Sombra City, on the contrary, they were also a little in awe of Mei Yi. After all, after the great flood a few years ago, many residents of the Southern Fairy Forest, including their relatives and friends, fled to Sombra City, but they were all rescued and survived.
Liuxi walked straight through the guards, walked up to Feng Di, and said softly, "Why do you want to seize these supplies? This is a disaster relief activity agreed by Queen Agiro. Don't you even listen to the Queen's orders? β
Feng Di was speechless, and then argued forcefully: "We are not against the queen, but against the Northern Fairy Forest!" β
Liuxi suddenly said loudly: "If you really oppose the Northern Fairy Forest, then take it to the Northern Fairy Forest for revenge." Now that the materials that the Southern Fairy Forest relies on for their livelihood are seized, I am afraid that it is the people of the Southern Fairy Forest who are opposed! β
Feng Di was speechless for a moment.
Liuluo was also a little surprised, and then felt that it was understandable, Mei Yi was so good at arguing, and Liuxi must have learned.
Liuxi said again, "Do you want to starve the inhabitants of the Southern Fairy Forest?" Please answer in front of them. β
Feng Qi took a few steps back and said, "Why don't you arrest these people from the Northern Fairy Forest quickly!" What are you waiting for, are you deaf? β
At this moment, a huge air flow struck from top to bottom, and before Feng Di could raise his head, he was pressed to the ground by a strange force, and a subhuman girl stepped on his back, and the long sword in her hand was almost stuck against his face on the ground beside him.
The Asian girl said, "Old man, don't get too close to our queen." The next time I see it, I'll throw you directly into the Luoshui River. And you, if you don't help, please leave. I've cut off the head of a monster. β
Feng Di's subordinates believed it at once, because the killing intent in her eyes had overflowed.
The huge dragon bird that landed on the ground hissed sharply, and its ugly head slammed towards Feng Di's subordinates, causing Feng Di and his subordinates to stand on end. Feng Di's subordinates immediately dropped their weapons and ran away.
The Asian girl who came was Jasmine, and she said, "Queen Liuxi, what should this old man do?" β
Liuxi said: "Let him go, how can I have time to care about him now?" β
Jasmine said, "Don't you ask his name?" β
Liuxi said: "Is there any difference? β
Jasmine said, "It makes no difference. Then let him go. Queen of the Tide, we are always in the air, please send a signal to call us if you have something. β
Liuxi said: "Okay, you should be careful. β
Feng Yi lost face at this moment, he left in embarrassment, scolding: "Sooner or later, it will make you pay!" β
Peosira, who heard the movement outside, ran out and asked, "What happened just now?" β
Liuxi said: "Don't worry, it's nothing, someone is going to come over to make trouble, and they were driven away." β
Peosilla said, "Queen Liuxi, we still have too few people, and people from other parts of the Southern Fairy Forest have also received the news that we are distributing disaster relief materials here, and are gathering here. β
Liuxi said: "Let the people affected by the disaster help?" β
"Food distribution is relatively simple, but medical care is more troublesome. The people here can only do some laundry and sewing work, and there is no care and treatment at all. The Southern Fairy Forest is already the hardest-hit area, and I am afraid that there will be more and more patients. β
Liuxi thought for a moment and said, "The doctors in Melovi are all fully engaged in the production of medicines, and it is difficult to draw more doctors now. Now it's a problem. Although my family is a medical family, I will not ...... at all."
A familiar and warm voice sounded behind him: "At this time, don't just think about relying on your husband, and occasionally think about relying on your mother, okay?" Although you are married, you are still your mother's Xixi baby. β
Liuxi raised his head and saw his mother, he was stunned at first, and then said happily: "Mom, why are you here?" β
Liumei smiled: "Yesterday, Meiyi wrote to tell me that you and your sister have arrived in the South Fairy Forest. I was a little worried, so I came over. You see, Daddy is here too. β
Liuxi turned to look and saw his father, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and rushed up excitedly and hugged his father, "Dad, didn't you swear that you would never return to the Fairy Forest again?" β
Feng Ji touched his daughter's head and said, "Don't expose your father's shortcomings again." β
At this moment, the sunlight overhead was covered by a large dark cloud, and when Liuxi looked up, he saw hundreds of dragon birds flying by, circling down, and after the dust settled, hundreds of people from the Northern Fairy Forest jumped off the dragon birds and quickly gathered. A tall woman jumped off the dragon bird, and when she saw Liuxi, she smiled and said, "Hello, queen." β
Liuxi said excitedly: "Queen Liulian, why are you here too?" β
As soon as the victims present heard that the person who came was the queen of the Northern Fairy Forest, they were all shocked, and in the propaganda of the Southern Fairy Forest, the Queen of Liulian was no different from the witch in the "Flower Spirit Story Anthology".
Liulian said: "Last night, Meiyi's letter was delivered to the North Fairy Forest, saying that Mei Luowei transported too many materials, and there would definitely be a pile-up. He offered to use the commercial network of the Northern Fairy Forest to distribute the supplies and avoid overcrowding. I've mobilized all the Northern Demon Forest merchants to do this. β
Liulian said to the inhabitants of the Southern Fairy Forest, "I know you are a little afraid of me, but the wind has always said that I am ...... How to say it, it's the image of the stepmother and the witch in "Anthology of Flower Spirit Stories", right? β
Those residents of the Southern Fairy Forest couldn't help but laugh.
Liulian said again: "Is there such a beautiful witch? β
The inhabitants of the Southern Fairy Forest laughed again.
Speaking of this, Liu Lian clapped his hands and said, "Okay, no matter what misunderstandings and contradictions everyone has, in short, let's get over this difficulty first." By the way, do you know the king of Melove? That's the son-in-law of the Northern Fairy Forest and the Southern Fairy Forest, and if we don't get along well, he'll be very embarrassed. β
The eyes of all the residents of the Southern Fairy Forest were on the stream.
Liuxi said with some embarrassment: "My dad is a member of the royal family of the Southern Fairy Forest, and my mother is a royal member of the Northern Fairy Forest. So, the Queen of Ripples is right. I also agree with Queen Liulian's words, during this time, please let us get along well. When the disaster is over, we will leave, and we have no intention of any of the Southern Fairy Forest. β
An old man at the scene said, "Queen, if you really have any intentions for the Southern Fairy Forest, please take it directly." In this vast ocean, except for water and so many mouths for eating, no one will ask for it. β
Countless people in the Southern Fairy Forest opened their mouths in agreement.
Liuxi said: "I don't dare to ask for it, I am now a citizen of Melovey." In Melove, every citizen is our precious treasure, and you are also a precious treasure of Queen Agiro and the elves. Difficulties are only temporary, and if you insist on persevering, don't say such discouraged words, okay? β
A little girl suddenly pointed at Liulian and said, "I have eaten that aunt!" β
Liulian was stunned for a moment: "What, have you eaten me?" β
Another little boy said, "I've eaten it too!" β
Liulian looked at Liuxi in bewilderment, "What are they talking about?" β
Another little girl raised the instant noodles in her hand and said, "I'm eating!" β
Liu Lian saw his portrait on the barrel and was surprised: "Why does my portrait appear in this ...... This one...... What is this called? β
Liuxi said: "This is instant noodles, add some boiling water and rinse it to eat." Brother Meiyi said that you have agreed to use your portrait. β
Liu Lian smiled: "No wonder the last time I went to Melovey, he wanted to paint a portrait of me, and asked me to sign a statement, which turned out to be used on this." He has done a lot of good things, but he has never suffered a loss. Okay, let's talk about it later, what can our people do, please arrange it directly. β
Liuxi said: "Well, I'll call my sister to come and arrange it." β
* * *
While the Liuluo sisters and the Northern Elven Forest were busy in the Southern Elven Forest, Serena, Elia, and Evelyn were also in Sombra City.
Many people in Sombra City have participated in the disaster relief activities organized by Meiyi last time, and they are familiar with the disaster relief this time. In addition, Evelyn has organized everyone to plant a large number of potatoes and corn in recent years, and Meiyi has established a grain reserve system during her reign, so the food shortage in Black Crystal City is not serious, mainly to replant grain, dredge rivers, prevent epidemics, and admit patients.
In the evening, Serena and Illya returned to the Grand Lord's Mansion of Sombra, and Illya said, "Queen Nana, you should stay in the room where Mei Yi lived before. After he and Kira left Sombra City for the Flower Spirit, the room had been empty, and I had it cleaned up. Illya, you can stay in your old room too. β
Serena took a comfortable shower, walked into the room where Mei Yi had lived, and sat at the desk, wiping her hair carefully. After drying her hair, she picked up the books on the shelves and flipped through them casually.
After reading the book, she didn't think it was interesting, so she stood up, took out a pile of letters from the bookcase, and slowly flipped through it.
In the past, she wouldn't have done that. Now she thought: I am his wife, see what happened to his letter?
After watching it for a long time, it was all business exchanges, and she felt bored.
Suddenly, she discovers her mother's correspondence with Meiyi.
Curious, she opened the letter and saw her mother's familiar handwriting. Looking at the time again, it was after Mei Yi returned to Sombra City from the True Spirit. Serena remembered that at that time she was still the "personality" of the second princess. That time, Mei Yi went to Hualing, specifically watched the fireworks, herself and Liuxi, and sent Qiluo back to the land of the wind by the way.
Serena said in her heart: The queen has put great pressure on Meiyi to get engaged as soon as possible. Meiyi's return to Hualing was actually to choose the object. Hanabi, himself, Liuxi, and Kira......
Ahem, all of them were married to him except for Hanabi. Knowing that today, what effort did he have to choose?
Thinking of this, she burst out laughing again, if it weren't for the two of them going through so many things together, she wouldn't have married Meiyi. Speaking of which, his personality was awakened when Mei Yi was assigned to the Flower Spirit Academy.
