Chapter 48: My lord, my lord, made a decision to go against his ancestors

Chapter 48 – My Old Master, Made a Decision Against His Ancestors

Maple City.

In front of the shed used for disaster relief, it was already full of people even before dawn.

“Looking forward to it!”

“I’ve heard that Mr. He died of his old man, and he’s going to treat the whole city to a banquet today, with rice, big white buns, and pork stewed with vermicelli!”

“Tsk, Mr. He has been stingy all his life, but having a son is generous, he is really generous!”

“Good son, give me enough to eat this time!”

“Daughter, throw a few winks at the grain distributor and ask him to give our family a few more pieces of pork!”

……

The crowd, full of happiness and anticipation, looked forward to the shed, not like a disaster relief, but like a big feast.

Of course.

There are also hungry stragglers who can’t stand it, trembling at the end of the line, hoping to get a share of the relief food, to continue to live.

But they were so stinky that they couldn’t even get close to the line, and would be driven away by the natives with contempt.

Even if they could barely make it to the end of the line, they would be cut in again and again.

They were even kicked and punched by the city bullies.

One can only say.

There is xenophobia and bullying behavior everywhere.

Especially in a disaster relief situation like this.

After all.

Those who can shed their cheeks to grab relief food with the disaster victims, what kind of quality people can they be? Most of them are ruffians and hoodlums.

To them, there was no moral pressure to oppress the out-of-town migrants.

“Stinking beggar, get away from me!”

“You outsiders, I’m afraid you don’t have the plague on you!”

“Get lost, get behind me again, believe it or not I’ll just punch you and send you on your way?”

“Look, look, look!”

“It’s the He family’s caravan, the fellows from Mr. He’s family are here!”

……

Under the crowd’s expectant gazes, a convoy of cars appeared on the street, the guards on both sides were dressed in the He family’s houseguard uniforms, imposing.

However.

When the guards placed the heavy wooden barrels, placed them in the shed, and then uncovered the lids of the barrels.

Everyone froze.

What was contained in that wooden barrel was not any large white rice, nor any large white steamed buns, nor the so-called pork stew with vermicelli.

Instead, it was a sticky, gray, thick porridge, wrapped with green vegetables, radishes, brown rice, and ……

And a lot more, only livestock will eat bran.

At once.

All the people in line, their minds exploded!

“What the hell!”

“Didn’t we say there was big white rice, big white steamed buns, and pork stew with vermicelli?”

“It’s just as well that the pork stewed vermicelli has turned into brown rice porridge, but adding bran to the porridge, isn’t this treating people like animals? Your He family is bullying people too much!”

“If you don’t give us an explanation today, we will go and surround your He family!”

“Right! Surround the He Family!”

……

Looking at the crowd, it seemed that the group was soon going to surround them and have a mass riot.

The He Family’s family member pulled out a yellow talisman from his pocket, tore it up and threw it into the sky, and in an instant, thunderbolts rang out in the clear sky, shaking everyone’s eardrums.

chu ~
The thunderous heavenly authority definitely possessed a deterrent effect on the people.

In an instant, all the unruly people covered their ears and retreated back, no longer daring to surround the disaster relief shed, and even the clamor and noise had temporarily stopped.

“All give me silence!”

The housekeeper looked at the crowd and calmly said, “Using brown rice porridge to provide disaster relief, this is an order given by a true disciple of the Three Clear Immortal Sect, and it has been agreed to by the Immortal Sect beforehand.”

“If you and others have any opinions, you can go to the Three Clear Immortal Sect’s headquarters to protest.”

The words just fell.

All of the surrounding people, although their faces showed unwillingness, did not dare to be reckless anymore. After all.

There is no court in this world, the major cultivation forces are divided into parties, each acting on their own, and the city lord and the law enforcement team are all served by objects assigned by the Immortal Sect.

In other words, the Immortal Sect was the master of Maple City, and the decrees that were agreed upon by the Immortal Sect, they had no qualifications to disobey.

Of course.

Riot is not dare to riot, but whispering and complaining is unavoidable.

“What a bummer!”

“The promised pork stew with vermicelli turned out to be brown rice porridge mixed with bran and chaff, that He is even more buttoned up than his father!”

“Taking bran to provide disaster relief is really unethical, never buy He’s pork again.”

“This kind of person he will have retribution!”

……

Looking at the crowds of people who were muttering in low voices, the He Family’s family man said, “In addition, in order to give back to the folks, for their support of the He Family over the years.”

“Our family master has made a decision that goes against our ancestors.”

“Effective immediately, the He family will kill three thousand pigs, and return to the folks with a super low discounted price of 20%.”

“And we won’t charge any money, just brown rice of equal value.”

“All the brown rice exchanged for pork will be used to cook congee for disaster relief and provided to the displaced people in Maple City, my He Family will never keep half a grain in private.”

“However, there are only three thousand heads of pork that can be exchanged for brown rice, only three thousand heads!”

“While stocks last, not a single head more!”

“Folks who want to exchange, you have to hurry, if you go late you won’t be able to grab it.”

“Buy pork at a discount, but also help the cause of charity and disaster relief, accumulate merit and virtue, where in the world is such a good thing?”

“Brothers, charge!”

Eighty percent off!

Eighty percent off!

Eighty percent off!

After hearing the words of the family man, many of the people couldn’t help but show a look of interest in their eyes.

To know.

In this era where the farming industry was not particularly developed, pork definitely belonged to the super food.

It was truly hard currency.

Ordinary people matchmaking, if you can carry a pork door, face directly pull to full.

Brown rice for pork, 20% off?

Do the math.

You’ll save a lot of money!
Blood money!
Thinking of this, the crowd that was still complaining dispersed and all rushed back home to fetch the brown rice.

While walking, they were still talking and praising.

“I told you!”

“This little Mr. He is a promising lord, much better than his father.”

“A 20% discount, that’s a 20% discount! When old Counselor He celebrated his fiftieth birthday, the pork was only discounted by 95%.”

“I haven’t eaten pork in months, this time I’ll take advantage of the price reduction and have a good time!”

……

In just a few moments, the people who were still gathered in front of the relief shed had all disappeared.

Only a few ragged stragglers were left, standing far away, staring blearily at the pot of gray rice porridge, gulping.

“Brothers, what are you waiting for? Come over and drink the porridge!”

The He Family’s servants had smiles on their faces, handing over bowls of steaming congee.

Hiss~
Looking at the steaming, thick and sticky brown rice bran porridge in front of them, although the flavor did not smell good, the few starving people felt as if they had seen a mountain of food.

After tentatively glancing at the He Family’s servant for a few moments, they all gobbled it up, shedding tears as they ate.

Soon.

Bowls of brown rice bran porridge reached the bottom in the hands of the victims, and looking at their blearily gazes, the housekeepers laughed, “I know you haven’t had enough to eat.”

“But don’t be in a hurry, you guys have been starving for too long, if you eat too much in a short period of time, your stomachs will burst.”

“There won’t be any locals, grabbing congee from you, in the future.”

“For the next half a month, our He family will be here every day, giving you relief porridge, remember to come and collect it.”
