I Became a Sugar Mama to an Ancient General during a Famine! - Chapter 5 Part 2

He took out a brush, laid the white paper flat on the table, opened the ink bottle, and lightly dipped the brush in the ink.

It smelled wonderful.

This ink had a fragrance that spread, different from ink ground on an inkstone.

He began writing, saying that the fortress most urgently needed water and food.

If they had water, they could save tens of thousands of citizens in the city.

If they had food, they wouldn’t see scenes of people eating each other.

He hoped everyone could survive!

Ye Mumu received the reply, and this time she could understand without using her phone to translate.

They needed water and food.

To feed 100,000 people.

Even as a rich second-generation, she couldn’t support so many people.

Although her parents had left her a huge inheritance, most of it was in real estate.

All the cash had gone to inheritance tax.

She had just over 3 million yuan in her account, which was rent from two houses and several storefronts.

The company dividends wouldn’t arrive until the end of the year!

「Food for 100,000 people is no small matter. It will cost a lot. I need a few days to gather resources.

Find a large pool, clean it out, and I’ll start supplying water tomorrow!”」

She went to the study to bring down the printer, converted the font to traditional characters on her phone, and printed it out.

She dropped it into the vase.

Zhan Chengyin received her letter, which had a different font this time.

The god’s writing was so neat, as if it was engraved!

The god said she would provide water and food, starting with water tomorrow!

That was great.

They would have water to drink!

Everyone’s lives could be saved!

Zhan Chengyin’s eyes moistened. He knelt down, his back as straight as a pine tree, and kowtowed three times to the vase.

“Thank you, god, for saving the people from suffering!”

“I, Yin, request to build a temple for the god!”

After he got up, he called his subordinates Tian Qin and Xu Ming, immediately ordering them to clean out the water pool.

They were to find bamboo poles for carrying water, or use clay pots if there were no poles.

When Tian Qin and Xu Ming heard the general say to prepare the water pool, their eyes suddenly brightened.

They wept with joy and excitement.

It worked!

The general’s plea to the gods for water had succeeded!

With water, their brothers would have a chance to live.

Ye Mumu was not sleepy at all now, and started shopping online.

She ordered 500,000 plain steamed buns at a wholesale price of 0.7 yuan each.

Total: 350,000 yuan.

She bought 500,000 scallion pancakes, bargaining the price down to 15 yuan for 50.

Total: 150,000 yuan.

She also ordered 100 boxes of noodles, 100 boxes of instant noodles, 100 boxes of dried vegetables, including dried mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, dried wood ear mushrooms…

From the city’s largest rice shop, she ordered 2,000 bags of rice in 100-jin (50 kg) packages.

500 bags of flour in 50-jin (25 kg) packages.

100 barrels of oil, 100 boxes of salt, 100 boxes of pickled vegetables.

She bought all the pork, chicken, duck, and goose meat available from nearby markets.

She also purchased 1,000 jin (500 kg) of cured meat, sausages, cured pork ribs..

She used her father’s old warehouse as the delivery address.

She also pre-ordered on Meituan: steamed buns, mantou, flower rolls, preserved vegetable pan-fried buns, meat in flatbread… ordering the maximum limit of 100 portions from each store.

These were to be delivered to the villa address.

She spent over 1.8 million yuan in total.

This food could feed 100,000 people for about ten days.

Given how frugal ancient people were, it might last twenty days!

She had spent more than half of her savings to barely feed 100,000 people for twenty days!

She really couldn’t afford this!

After placing the orders, she sent a message to a retired old man who looked after the warehouse.

She informed him that a large shipment of goods would arrive at the warehouse tomorrow and asked him to oversee the unloading.

He was to call her when the unloading was complete.

After doing all this, she felt a bit regretful, wondering if she had gone mad.

Spending 1.8 million yuan on ancient people she had never met.

If her parents were still around, they would surely say she had been scammed!

As she was regretting her impulsive actions…

Clang!

The vase spat out something else.

They were shining gold ingots.

There were also gold cakes and gold bars of various sizes and shapes…

All sorts of antique-style jewelry, pearls, and jade objects came tumbling out!

There were so many items, they filled up the corner below the vase.
