Chapter Seven: The Year of Famine
It is indeed the largest supermarket in the capital, with seven floors in total, and nearly a hundred stores on each floor.
Food, drinks, daily necessities, pharmacies, gold stores...
In short, everything you need in life can be found in hypermarkets.
What surprised Yu Tang even more was that there were already enough items in the hypermarket, but no matter what she picked up, the hypermarket would automatically replenish the items.
For example, she just took two roast ducks from the back kitchen of a certain restaurant, and soon, the roast ducks were automatically replenished.
She took five bags of frozen meat dumplings, closed the freezer door, and opened it again. The dumplings that had just been emptied magically appeared again. Five bags, every bag was good!
You can replenish it as much as you can, it is simply an inexhaustible treasure trove!
Yu Tang took a breath.
Moreover, she also discovered that this hypermarket seemed to be stuck at a certain point in time.
For example, cooked ingredients will always remain hot and will never get colder or hotter.
The ice cream also maintains its shape and does not melt.
Other ingredients, such as the more delicate ingredients such as coriander, are kept at their freshest level and will not wilt or go bad.
Yu Tang was completely shocked by how long it took to make a cup of tea.
It can be said that if she owns this hypermarket, she simply owns the whole world.
"Dong dong~"
There was a sudden knock on the door, which instantly brought Yu Tang back from his thoughts.
Yu Tang stood up and opened the door, only to see Nan Yin hand over two dry biscuits with an expressionless face.
"Prince Princess, this is what the princess asked her subordinates to give to you."
Yu Tang didn't answer.
This dry biscuit should have been distributed by the escorting officers and soldiers at noon. Princess Bei and the old woman did not eat it and left it with her.
Looking at the dry biscuit that was so hard that it could kill a wild dog, Yu Tang sighed.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Ask the princess and the others to wait while I go find some food and come back."
Yu Tang went straight to the kitchen.
Several bandits were sitting around the stove devouring food.
When Yu Tang walked in, several people panicked and almost choked.
"Ahem... Auntie, you... why are you here?"
Someone made a worried sound.
"I'm looking for something to eat."
Yu Tang responded and glanced at the table.
Seven or eight steamed buns, a plate of unknown pickles, a plate of fried cabbage, and a plate of pickled garlic.
How could this group of big men devour just these things?
Yu Tang walked inside calmly.
The rice vat was empty.
The oil tank is bright and clean.
…
In the end, Yu Tang searched the entire kitchen and only found half a bag of Wotou, two Chinese cabbages, a jar of pickles, and three radishes.
Yu Tang was shocked.
"Is there nothing else to eat in the village?"
Hear the words.
One of the bandits raised his hand and scratched his head, and whispered:
"No, there has been a famine in the past two years and food is scarce. What we have was robbed from a merchant's convoy three days ago. It's not enough for everyone to eat for one day, otherwise we wouldn't go down the mountain so frequently.
, let alone rob the exiled team..."
Yu Tang frowned.
Yes, she almost forgot.
When the Beiwang Mansion was raided, it was the third year of the famine, and this famine lasted for five years. Most of the people in the Yu Dynasty almost starved to death.
If it weren't for the hypermarket, she would have thought she had committed so many sins in her previous life given the timing and identity of the time travel.
Yu Tang thought for a while, and finally left silently without taking anything or saying anything.
She returned to the small courtyard where they lived, found a remote corner, and then took out an iron pot, two slaughtered chickens, a few potatoes, a cabbage, and a handful of salt from the supermarket.
She carried her things into the courtyard, and Princess Bei and her party came out after hearing the sound.
Several people were shocked when they saw what was in her hand.
The old woman also breathed out softly,
"I thought that the people outside were almost unable to open the pot. I didn't expect that this bandit village actually had chickens. Guaiguai Longdi Dong. No wonder so many people want to go to the mountains to become bandits. These days, if you can have enough to eat, what can you do if you can't?
ah……"
Hearing this, Yu Tang raised his hand to his lips and hissed.
"This chicken is not from the village, and there is no food left in the village. When I came back just now, I passed by a yard and accidentally found it in an earthen vat. It should have been hidden by someone in the village. I will take it.
When you come back, please keep your voice down and don’t let them find out.”
These days, food is life. If that person knew that such food was taken away from them, he would have to fight them to the death.
The old woman and the others all understood and immediately did not dare to speak loudly.
It was late at night and there was no one around, so the old man found a remote place in the backyard, lit a fire, and cooked two chickens in a big iron pot.
Several people were starving and there was no staple food, so they also cooked potatoes and cabbage.
There is no seasoning except salt, but fortunately the chicken itself is very fresh, so the taste is not bad after being stewed.
The group of people ate a large pot of ingredients.
The old man was left to bury the chicken bones while Nan Yin and others cleaned the fire. Yu Tang returned to the room with a bowl of chicken soup that had been set aside in advance.
While Yu Tang was feeding Xiao Yening and drinking chicken soup, he only felt a headache.
Originally, she planned to take a walk around the bandits' den and then take some things out from the hypermarket. She told Princess Bei and her group that these things were looted from the bandits' den.
But she encountered a famine year without bias, and there was nothing in the bandit village. So how should she take out the things from the hypermarket?
It has no origin and just turned into an object. Even if it is Princess Bei, she must be regarded as a monster.
Yu Tang sighed softly, thinking that if it didn't work out, she would simply leave something for Princess Bei and her party, and then leave.
After all, after she left, Princess Bei and her party would no longer pursue the source of these things.
…
Early the next morning.
Yu Tang went out before dawn.
She thought about it for a long time last night and finally thought of a way.
While everyone was sleeping, she found a cave in the dark.
Potatoes, chicken, pork, cabbage, eggplant, carrots, rice, white noodles.
Yu Tang took out some common ingredients and piled them into the cave.
She was very cautious, just like the rice, she poured it into a wooden bucket, and then stuffed the packaging bag back into the supermarket.
After stacking the things, she went back.
Daybreak.
Everyone is awake.
Yu Tang asked Nan Yin to stay and protect Princess Bei, then raised his hand and ordered four or five bandits to follow him to the back mountain to find food.
Several bandits didn't want to go.
After all, they have lived here all year round, and the famine has been going on for two years. On the back mountain, they have looted almost everything that can be imported. They feel that even if Yu Tang goes, it will be in vain.
However, their lives were in someone's hands and they did not dare to disobey Yu Tang's orders.
