I Became a Sugar Mama to an Ancient General during a Famine! - Chapter 26 Part 1

Chen Wu laughed heartily, “This is fantastic! I was wondering how to ask the gods for explosives, and she just sent them to us.”

“General, with such a deadly weapon, we’ll have an even stronger defense when the barbarians attack again!”

“Explosives can blow up mountains—imagine the casualties if used on people!”

Zhan Chengyin was overjoyed and instructed Song Duo, “Find an isolated house. Remember, make sure there are no citizens within five miles. Get a few trusted soldiers to patrol the area, but they shouldn’t get too close either.”

Song Duo bowed. “Understood, sir.”

Ye Mumu sent another note—she was out ordering late-night snacks.

How kind the gods were to him!

In his past life, he must have prayed before Buddha for an entire lifetime to meet such a kind-hearted god in this one.

She saved the entire city when he was at his most desperate!

Even if it cost him his life, he would never regret it!

Ye Mumu parked her car on a street lined with barbecue stalls, surrounded by many restaurants. She ordered a large table of food, including skewers of lamb, beef, chicken drumsticks, potato skins, and corn cobs. She also got braised rabbit, grilled fish, roast duck, and more.

At the nearby convenience store, she bought ten cases of beer. She also purchased cola, Sprite, and fruit juice—two cases each. Then, she added small bottles of Jiangxiaobai, Erguotou, and baijiu, buying two cases of each.

After the shopkeepers prepared everything, she paid and packed it all into her car trunk. Back home, she kept a portion for herself as a late-night snack and sent the rest to them.

Inside the city tower room, a table full of aromatic and delicious dishes appeared before the generals, making their mouths water.

Then they saw skewers of sizzling meat, dripping with oil. The rich aroma of barbecue instantly filled the room.

Chen Kui couldn’t resist anymore and grabbed a lamb skewer, taking a bite. His eyes widened, “This is incredible!”

The others were salivating, and Zhan Chengyin smiled, “Go ahead and eat!”

The rugged generals each grabbed a handful of skewers, taking big bites.

“So fragrant! Even dragon meat from heaven couldn’t be better than this!”

“What a good life the gods must live, I’m so envious!”

“That’s why they’re gods!”

Next, cases of beer, cola, Sprite, and small bottles of baijiu appeared. Everyone saw the beer was cold, looking very refreshing.

“One bottle per person!”

They opened a case and distributed it, using their swords to pry off the bottle caps.

The pure wheat flavor was very fragrant and thirst-quenching.

Deputy general Chen Kui downed a bottle and loved it so much he finished his brother Chen Wu’s bottle too!

Song Duo opened a case of cola. “Cola, what an interesting name.”

He took a small sip. “Oh, it’s sweet and very refreshing!”

Chen Wu liked sweet things, so he eagerly took a big gulp.

After drinking, he let out a satisfied burp. “That’s so refreshing!”

Li Yuanzhong opened a short case, “Wow, so much alcohol?”

Since the founding of the country, the generals all had drinking habits. They usually drank cloudy, yellowish alcohol, later known as turbid wine or yellow wine. With the great drought, there wasn’t enough grain left to brew alcohol. It had been a long time since anyone had tasted alcohol.

The beer from earlier wasn’t strong enough!

This alcohol was the real deal!

Everyone looked at the general with hopeful eyes, wanting just one sip, just one would be enough.

They were craving alcohol so badly, their insides were itching for it.

Zhan Chengyin said, “One bottle per person, don’t get drunk!”

Chen Kui eagerly opened a bottle of Erguotou and took a sip.

Ah…

A fiery, spicy flavor burned from his throat to his stomach.

“Good alcohol, strong flavor. It’s been so long since I’ve had such strong liquor!”

The others all opened their bottles to try. Whew…

It was so strong and high in alcohol content that even though they were used to drinking, one sip made their faces flush red.

This alcohol!

So strong, so spicy!

After drinking, the soldiers opened up.

Wu Erlang said, “If it weren’t for the god, my son would have starved to death long ago. Even starving, I couldn’t abandon my family. I had to keep them fed.”

He drank while wiping away tears.
