The white porridge made from the best peeled rice is extremely viscous, and it can stand firmly on it with chopsticks.

The people who were accustomed to eating bran bark had never seen this, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva as they watched the Daoists of the Immortal Sect fill a bowl with thick white porridge.

"If only I could enter the Immortal Sect, I can eat big white porridge at once, and I am willing to die!" ’

The villager thought silently in his heart.

Then, he was surprised to find that the Taoist chief in front of him did not eat the bowl of white porridge himself, but sent it forward with his right hand and handed it to him.

The villagers didn't dare to reach for it, but looked at the Taoist with wide eyes in shock and fear.

The man suddenly realized, scooped a few pickle leaves into the bowl with a pot and spoon, and then nodded: "The sesame oil has been added, take it." ”

"This ...... Is this for me? ”

The villagers were inexplicably excited, staring at the white porridge in front of them, and their tongues were dry.

"yes, what's wrong?"

The Taoist who distributed the food nodded, and a hint of doubt appeared on his expression.

The villagers crowded in front of the stove swallowed their saliva in unison, looking at the polished rice still boiling in the pot, and a thought that I couldn't think of came to mind out of thin air.

'Are these white porridges made from rice without bran, with fine flour, without pebbles, mud, or insects, for us to eat?' ’

And this pickle, dipped in full salt, fat and beautiful pickles are dripping with sesame oil, I'm afraid that the Lord of the Stove can only eat it for three days of the New Year all year round, right? ’

'These Immortal Sect Dao Masters just gave us for no reason? No conditions? ’

The villagers panicked, some of them couldn't believe that the scene in front of them was real.

For a moment, the scene fell into an eerie silence.

"Take it, hurry up, don't get in the way of the next person coming to get the porridge!"

The Taoist was a little impatient and stuffed the hot sea bowl into the hands of the villagers at the head of the row, holding the pot and spoon and shouting loudly: "Listen to the people in the back, prepare the dishes and chopsticks by yourself who want to receive the porridge!" Don't run for nothing! ”

The villager who received the white porridge held the sea bowl, staring blankly at the white porridge in his hand as if looking at a rare treasure, and the emotions in his eyes could not be calmed for a long time.

He tentatively craned his neck and stepped forward, sucking along the edge of the bowl.

The sweet rice porridge flowed into his mouth, and when he chewed it slightly, the rich aroma of rice burst in his mouth, making people intoxicated to the point of ascending to heaven.

The villagers' eyes erupted with a strong color of survival, and he couldn't care about anything else, as if he was crazy and devoured it, and the hot rice porridge was licked clean by him in an instant.

'Suck and suck!! ’

"Suck and suck!!"

The sound of him eating rice porridge reached the ears of the people in the surrounding villages, as if he was using a knife to rip out their hearts and livers.

Seeing that you can't eat is the most heart-scratching, and there are small insects crawling on your body!

The Dao Elders of the Immortal Sect were not surprised, and divided into several teams to make porridge for the villagers in an orderly manner.

"Yours!"

"Hey, yours, take it!"

"Don't worry, it's too hot for you to stand it, wait until it's cold before eating!"

The exhortations of the Taoist elders entered the ears and eyes of these half-starved villagers, which can be called the left ear in and the right ear out.

Not a single trace was left.

With tears in their eyes, the villagers held the sea bowl, sat down along the side of the road, and swallowed it in large gulps.

The people in the back of the queue saw that the Taoist elders were really making porridge!

And it's a thick porridge cooked with polished rice, not a clear soup with little water to fool people!

The villagers who didn't grab the front seat for a while became excited, and the long line was pushing.

Zhang Yuqing stood on the cloud head, and he was not surprised when he saw this.

You can't expect a group of people who have never eaten a full meal for a day to maintain a good social order of respecting the old and loving the young when they see a bowl of thick porridge, let alone the common people in this era, who have never had such a thing.

But it's not the people's fault.

It is the fault of the upper class who forcibly squeeze the living space of the lower class.

To put it more complicated, it is the fault that the productive forces are backward and the overall resources of society cannot bear the upper limit of the population.

This is the fundamental reason why he Zhang Yuqing came here for disaster relief.

"Don't be in a hurry, everyone has a share, if you brew an accident by pushing others, you will be punished by God!"

Zhang Yuqing's cold voice reached the ears of every villager, and at the same time, a faint light overflowed from the immortal who stood in the sky, like a pair of gentle hands brushing the hearts of the villagers, making them quickly calm down.

"By the way, this is the soup soup ceremony of the Immortal Sect, with the true immortal in charge, our every move is under its nose, how dare we make such an action to be disrespectful to the immortals? ’

Liu Ling was also clever, and when he saw that Shangxian seemed to be angry, he hurriedly stood in front and shouted loudly: "Folks, don't be crowded, everyone has a share, you have to listen to the immortals, don't make mistakes!" ”

Hundreds of Taoists who were responsible for maintaining order shouted in unison at this time, and their voices were majestic, so frightened that ordinary people fell to the ground with a puff, and repeatedly kowtowed and forgive: "Immortal forgiveness, I will wait for a moment to lose my mind, and I dare not commit it again!" Don't dare to do it again! ”

Zhang Yuqing sighed, nodded with satisfaction, and waved the sleeves of his robe to loosen the shackles on everyone.

The scene returned to harmony again, and everyone lined up to receive porridge step by step this time, even if they were dizzy with hunger, they didn't dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step.

In the afternoon, Lu Liang glanced at the rest of the carriage, stepped forward and bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, it seems that there is a little shortage of food." ”

Zhang Yuqing's eyes were half-opened, he stopped combing the meridian nodes, nodded and said, "I already know, and wait for me to communicate with the immortals, and send down the immortal rice to relieve the common people." ”

As soon as his mind moved, the scene in front of him changed rapidly, and he had already returned to the Eastern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation Realm.

As early as when Zhang Yuqing planned the basic route of obtaining coal miners by relieving the victims, he had already taken the time to return to the Eastern Wilderness to cultivate the immortal realm.

The battle is still in full swing from the fire peak, and the situation is very anxious.

Zhang Yuqing hid his figure, walked to several low-level markets on the edge of the fire peak, and found some intermediary tooth people who offered to buy a batch of grain for mortal consumption.

Although these intermediaries were very curious about what he was doing with so much mortal food for a monk in the middle stage of qi refining, after all, for a monk, the rice eaten by mortals did not contain spiritual energy, it was full of grain essence, and taking it for a long time would even pollute the purity of his body.

They usually only use such a large amount of money to trade with the surrounding mortal realms.

Zhang Yuqing just explained that he had no hope of breaking through, and was ready to leave Fang City to open up a generation of Xinjiang Dynasty in the mortal world, and prepare food in advance for the mortals in his family's captivity to use along the way.

The intermediaries all praised him for being a good master, and he was about to leave the immortal cultivation world, and he was still concerned about the lives of some mortals.

So the deal was made, Zhang Yuqing purchased a total of one million catties of rice, with 50,000 catties of pickles and 1,000 catties of sesame oil.

The grain piled up enough to occupy a room of fifty square meters to fit it.

Zhang Yuqing naturally can't use a storage bag to pack, the efficiency is too slow.

Therefore, he rented another cave mansion and made an appointment with the intermediary people to deliver the grain directly to his cave mansion.

Now Zhang Yuqing has come to the Eastern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation Realm again, and the place where he stands is the cave he rented on the peak of Yangshan Mountain, which is far away from the chaos of war.

This peak is located in the eastern part of Fang City, and it straddles two large areas from the east and west with the fire peak.

Further east is the deserted 'Starry Sky Sea', and even the Ancestor of Zhuji cannot cross this vast ocean, which can be said to be a very safe rear.

Even if the Blood Yang Sect broke through the Lihuo Peak, it wouldn't be able to hit the realm of this Yang Mountain Peak for a while.

Not to mention that this Yang Mountain Peak belongs to the family residence of Qingfeng Zhenren, the old ancestor of Fang City, and has always been known for its excellent defense.

Zhang Yuqing changed his appearance, pretending to be a casual repair, and spent the price of ten spirit stones to lease the cave house here for a year.

After all, this cave house is a property used by Yangshan Peak for rent, and it is very different from his residence when he was a tenant in Lihuo Peak.

The area of the entire cave is about 200 square meters, which is divided into a quiet room, a kitchen, a spiritual field, a hospitality room, a Dan room and so on.

It can be used by a monk to draw talismans, refine medicine, plant, beasts, etc., and the decoration is also antique, and there is a small defensive circle on the periphery, which can be used as long as it is filled with spirit stones.

Zhang Yuqing was very satisfied.

Although it was a little expensive, the spirit stones he obtained from killing and robbing the Li family's treasury had not been used up, and there was nothing to spend money on for a while, so he gritted his teeth and rented it.

After all, if he wants to find an opportunity to break through the foundation, I'm afraid he still can't leave the Eastern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Even if the Northern Song Dynasty plane broadcasts faith, unless it can forcibly increase the concentration of spiritual energy to the third order, it may be in vain to want to forcibly rush through the level.

Besides, he didn't dare, if he failed to rush through the level, he would die.

He would not have made such a choice unless he had to.

All kinds of thoughts passed by in his heart, Zhang Yuqing used his mana to lift hundreds of catties of grain, and returned to the Northern Song Dynasty plane again.

Lu Liang and the others only listened to the instructions of the master of the Daozi: "The immortal food has arrived, and you will call people to carry it one by one." ”

The rice in hundreds of pounds of burlap bags has been shelled in advance, and the intermediary tooth person Zhang Yuqing found this time is quite reliable.

It is estimated that the other party rarely sees this kind of local tyrant customer who is willing to pay for rice with spirit stones, and the service is very good.

not only sent a batch of side dishes for free, but also helped Zhang Yuqing wash the rice, remove the shell, and don't forget to tell him before leaving:

If Brother Dao establishes a kingdom in the future, he can send a letter to inform the foolish brother that if he still needs these mortals to eat in the future, no matter how far away the foolish brother will personally offer it with both hands! ’

Zhang Yuqing just smiled in response, and what he thought in his heart was: 'How can you keep using spirit stones to buy?' You really wronged me, didn't you? If it weren't for the fact that the people in the sect had not yet begun to find improved spiritual rice, I would never have wasted this money to buy your food! ’

However, the good news is that during this time, he secretly asked people to experiment with planting spiritual rice in various places, and found that this kind of spiritual rice, which requires spiritual energy to grow, does have the advantages of fast ripening cycle, easy planting, and large yield increase compared to rice in the mortal world.

The disadvantage is that once this kind of spiritual rice is planted in a field that lacks spiritual energy, it will quickly fade away from its extraordinary attributes and degenerate into rice without spiritual energy.

Moreover, this degradation is irreversible, and the second-generation spiritual rice planted will completely lose the advantages of all kinds of spiritual rice, and there will be no difference from ordinary rice after planting again.

But this is enough, if one mu of land is planted with all the spiritual rice buds, the yield per mu can reach more than 500 kilograms, which is almost the same as the hybrid rice of later generations.

That's a terrifying number.

You must know that in later generations, hybrid rice is claimed to have solved the food ration problem of more than a billion people.

Although one portion of spiritual rice rice is less, as long as Zhang Yuqing is there, he can continue to use the gold of the Northern Song Dynasty to cultivate immortals to buy new rice seeds.

The spiritual rice of the immortal cultivation realm will not degenerate.

One pound of seeds can be planted in one acre of field, and five or six hundred kilograms of rice can be harvested.

A spirit stone can buy five catties of seeds, that is, five thousand catties of rice.

That is to say, one hundred taels of gold can buy five thousand catties of rice.

It's a spine-chilling conversion ratio.

According to the price of the Northern Song Dynasty, one hundred taels of gold is enough to buy 50,000 catties of rice.

If you grow your own crops, you will not only consume manpower, but you will also be able to harvest only one-tenth of the food.

It's not worth it.

But that's just a conversion on paper.

If it is put into reality, it is not so simple to buy 50,000 catties of rice for 100 taels of gold.

The first point is that you need to find a seller, not everyone can take out so much grain in an instant.

After all, they need to eat too.

Secondly, transportation is a big problem, and the ancient transportation conditions were poor, and more than half of 50,000 catties of rice could be consumed during transportation.

In addition, the purpose of Zhang Yuqing's current need for food is to relieve the disaster area and absorb the population of the people in the disaster area to fill the lower sphere of influence of the Changsheng Sect.

In disaster-stricken places, food prices will soar at an alarming rate, and money may not be able to buy food.

And that's just 50,000 catties of grain.

According to Zhang Yuqing's assumption, the current grain shortage is at least one million kilograms or more.

Millions of kilograms of grain is not a question of being able to buy it without spending money.

It is a question of when and where you are ready to rebel.

Otherwise, what are you doing with so much food? Eat it yourself? Guess whether the government believes it or not.

Therefore, for the time being, using gold to buy spiritual rice in the immortal cultivation realm and hand it over to the people below to grow it by themselves is still a relatively safe way to obtain food.

But this can only solve the urgent need, after all, if he buys Lingmi at a higher frequency in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, once the amount of the transaction grows to a certain extent, it will inevitably attract unnecessary prying eyes.

Therefore, it is imperative to find a more economically valuable means of planting spiritual rice, and it is not possible to completely rely on Zhang Yuqing to be a dealer in the two worlds, and the gains will outweigh the losses in the long run.
