023 Lighting the Fire and Cooking Rice

"My Excellency, Feng Yan, is from Guangning." Feng Yan replied respectfully and humbly, his eyes no longer as ferocious as when he was planning evil intentions.

"Take a few people with you who are still strong enough to move the things in the car to the yard."

This person's attribute panel is good, with 31 force, 46 intelligence, 27 command, 36 politics, and 32 charm. He is a person who can get things done.

Of course, the most important thing is that this person's loyalty is the highest among the people Liu An has checked, with a total of 76 points!

"Yes!" Feng Yan responded and was about to call someone.

Liu An stopped him again, "By the way, bring your son here first."

Feng Yan had no doubt that he was there. He found an 8-year-old child being pulled by a woman in the crowd and brought him over to see Liu An.

The child had a sallow complexion, dull eyes, and looked like he was about to faint.

Liu An took a pair of dishes and chopsticks from the car, and while walking home, he waved to the woman to bring her child in.

Mrs. Cui had long heard the commotion outside and was feeling anxious and uneasy. However, she felt relieved when she saw Liu An at the door and waited for her son to come in and ask questions.

But before she had time to ask, Liu An said to her: "Mom, let's make some food over the fire. Make as much as you can. We'll bring in some rice later and use it all to make porridge."

Liu An didn't have a cauldron or a cauldron for making porridge at home, and he didn't buy one in the past two days. He thought he would buy four cauldrons, which would be enough to cook for 20 people. Who would have thought that he would encounter what happened today.

"Hey, I'm going to get the grain right now." Mrs. Cui said as she turned around and entered the house.

But Liu An stopped her and said, "Just use the ones that were just unloaded from the car."

Liu An keeps the shelled rice at home for himself, while the unshelled rice in the car is for outsiders to eat.

Although Liu An is kind-hearted, he is not so kind as to eat the same food as the people he helps.

What's more, these victims were not even allowed to eat unhusked rice before, and now they are given shelled rice directly. I'm afraid some people will think they are wasting it.

Mrs. Cui turned around to get rice from the sack that had just been unloaded, while Liu An used the bowl in his hand to serve Feng Yan's child a bowl of porridge.

"Eat something to cushion yourself first."

The child smelled the aroma of rice coming from in front of him, and finally felt a little energetic. He took the bowl and chopsticks from Liu An's hand and started eating.

The child's mother smelled the aroma of rice and swallowed eagerly, but she quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Liu An in tears.

"Thank you for your kindness in staying alive! My family will definitely repay you with a ring and a knot of grass!"

Liu An hurriedly stepped forward to help the woman up, "Mrs. Feng, please get up quickly. Please help me, Mrs. Feng, so that you can eat earlier."

After Mrs. Feng thanked her again, she went to help Cui.

Liu An then went to find two people who were still strong and loyal among the victims. One of them was asked to go to the west of the village to fetch water, and the other Liu An gave him 50 Wen and asked him to buy some firewood from other houses in the village.

Liu An's house is running low on firewood. Even if he adds the three bundles of firewood he just bought today, it won't be enough to cook meals for 300 people.

The narrow roads in Liujia Village were crowded with disaster victims.

After these victims came to Liu An's house and saw the situation in Liu An's house, they finally understood that what Liu An said before was true.

At least his yard looked like that of an ordinary family.

Seeing this, everyone began to think about the way forward.

Liu An's family is not in a good situation, so being able to survive is a great blessing.

How can I have the nerve to continue causing trouble to others when I have so many people?

But Liu An didn't say anything, and they hadn't eaten yet, so they didn't mention it yet.

After dinner, let’s see what Liu An says.

Most of them think so.

After Liu An waited for Feng Yan and others to move all the goods, he pulled the bullock cart and the blood spirit into the yard, and tied the cattle and the blood spirit in the corner of the yard.

At this time, Liu Bei and Liu Ming brought some villagers from Liujia Village into the yard.

They all held bowls or chopsticks in their hands, and Liu Ming was pushing a cart with 12 bowls and many bowls and chopsticks.

"Uncle, together with what I got from home, there are 12 bowls and 78 pairs of bowls and chopsticks." Liu Ming said to Liu An.

"Bei borrowed a total of 8 bowls and 49 pairs of bowls and chopsticks." Liu Bei followed closely.

"Thank you for the hard work of Deran and Xuande, as well as the fellow villagers, An An is here to thank you all!" Liu An bowed to the villagers and saluted.

Everyone said there was no need to be polite.

Liu An calculated that one mouthful of rice can feed about 6 people. Including the 4 people he just bought, there are a total of 24 rice bowls, which can only cook for more than 140 people.

It seems that the rice can only be cooked in two batches, and the bowls and chopsticks are just enough to be used in two batches.

So Liu An asked Feng Yan to tell everyone that they would eat in two batches, with the elderly and children taking priority.

After the man who had gone to fetch water came back, Liu An asked Liu Bei to help fetch water.

After all, the strength of the victims was limited. Liu Bei was strong and Liu An was his junior. Apart from him, Liu An could not find anyone else to help him.

As the son of the patriarch, Liu Ming had many servants at home, and they would not be able to do such menial work in his own family. Liu An was embarrassed to let Liu Ming go.

As for Liu An himself...if he could pick it, he wouldn't mind, but he is the scumbag of Force 8.

Then Liu An went into the house to get some bowls and poured bowls of water for the villagers and Liu Ming.

There is no tea or tea sets at home, so we can only use it as a treat.

When the villagers saw that Liu An's house only had two or three benches to sit on, they stopped disturbing him and left without drinking any water.

Although people in the same village may sometimes be harsh on words, if someone really has something to do, they will help each other and will not ask for compensation or anything like that.

Several people who moved the goods with Feng Yan, after unloading all the goods, also went to help light the fire and cook.

There were 24 pots in total, and they were quickly boiled with water. Half of them were in the yard, and the other half were placed on the road in the village.

If there is not enough water at home, add some water to each mouthful and boil it. When the water arrives, add enough in turn.

This can save some time and allow everyone to eat in the shortest possible time.

After all the work was arranged, Liu An took advantage of his free time and quickly filled a bowl of porridge from his own pot and ate it quickly.

It was almost noon at this time, and Liu An was already feeling hungry.

Liu Bei had to fetch water five times in a row to fill all the pots with water, but he was still not out of breath or blushing, which shows how full of energy he had.

Seeing that there was no water in the water tank, Liu Bei made two more trips to fill the water tank before coming to Liu An.

"Uncle, fortunately, I have fulfilled my duty and have filled all the bowls with enough water, and the water tanks have also been filled up." Liu Bei bowed his hands to Liu An.

When Liu An saw this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Liu Bei's etiquette was indeed thoughtful, but he still fulfilled his order by fetching water, leaving Liu An at a loss as to what to say.

Seeing the expression on Liu Bei's face that was about to praise me, Liu An could only follow: "Thank you for your hard work, Xuande. Come sit down and have a drink of water and rest."

"Are you tired of preparation? I wonder what else uncle needs to prepare?" Liu Bei was very excited when he saw that Liu An had attracted so many victims and looked like he was going to do something big.
