Chapter 409: Are You Sure It’s Not The Last Meal?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The commoners froze, not knowing if they should kneel or not.
Or perhaps they were not well-informed. The southern frontier had been allowed by Emperor Ling Hui to have a leader. It just so happened that this person was called the Great Empress, and this person was a woman.
Everyone looked uneasily at Sheng Huaixuan, who had brainwashed them along the way, as if they were waiting for a belated explanation.
The recruitment was clearly a notice from the Ling Kingdom’s government. There was even an official seal on it. Yu Suisheng was drinking and chatting happily with those officials. Why did a Great Empress suddenly appear?
Although there had been several new emperors recently, he had to give them an explanation, right?
Yu Suisheng looked at the pregnant Bai Wutong and knelt down without hesitation. “Greetings, Great Empress!”
When the commoners saw that they were surrounded by mighty soldiers, although they were puzzled, they still knelt down obediently. “Greetings, Great Empress!”
Bai Wutong nodded. “Rise quickly. Bring the new citizens to eat first. The place to settle down has been prepared for you.”
This Great Empress, who had appeared out of nowhere, had a gentle tone. She arranged a meal for them and a place to stay. She did not look like she wanted to treat them as slaves. Everyone’s worried hearts finally relaxed.
No matter what, they had to save their lives first.
“Thank you, Great Empress!”
Yu Suisheng stood up, and the commoners also stood up carefully.
The person in charge of receiving them was Cui Shize. He had a handsome and kind face. The commoners muttered in their hearts that he should not be a wolf in sheep’s clothing. After following Cui Shize for a while, everyone arrived at a cement square with colorful flags.
This square was especially big. It could easily accommodate 250,000 of them and even more.
After walking along the square for a while, everyone could smell the rich fragrance of food coming from the shops.
They had breakfast at dawn. In order to speed up their journey, they had yet to eat lunch and were already hungry.
Everyone smelled the meat and secretly swallowed their saliva.
A child shrank in his mother’s arms and said eagerly, “Mother, I want to eat meat.”
Although Yu Suisheng had not mistreated them along the way and the instant noodles that they ate were very delicious, the number of times they had eaten meat could be counted on one hand.
Su Susu stroked the child’s head and coaxed gently, “Be good Ming’er. I’ll give you meat in a while.”
If there was meat, Yu Suisheng would definitely let the children and women in the team eat it first.
As they got closer, they saw countless temporary brick stoves built in the square.
There was a large steaming pot on each stove. The fragrance came from inside.
Cui Shize instructed the people, “Distribute the cutlery and get everyone to line up in an orderly manner to get food!”
Everyone was already familiar with queuing up to get food on the way. Everyone obediently queued up according to their number.
What was given to them was a large wooden bowl. Everyone held the wooden bowl and could not wait for the team to move faster.
In modern times, 250,000 people were not even as many as the population of a small town.
However, it was still quite troublesome for them to eat at the same time.
Cui Shize had to transfer a lot of people from various units at the last minute to organize the two meals that day.
After these two meals, these commoners would be arranged to enter all kinds of industry and work in an orderly manner. The workshop would also make arrangements for their meals.
Not long after, it was Su Susu’s turn, while she was carrying her child.
The big pot in front of her was white rice. Su Susu looked disappointed, not knowing how to explain to Ming’er that there was no meat that day.
The lady who was serving food urged, “Sister, quickly give me the bowl. There’s still a queue behind.”
She had never eaten such exquisite white rice before. Su Susu adjusted her mindset and quickly handed her bowl and the child’s bowl to the lady.
The lady’s hands did not tremble. She had filled the bowl with a lot of rice and they would probably be full.
Su Susu was about to carry the child to the side to eat when the soldier who was maintaining order reminded her gently, “Madam, walk along here and continue to collect your food.”
‘There’s more food?’
Su Susu walked over in confusion. When Ming’er saw the mushroom stewed chicken in the big pot, he immediately shouted excitedly, “Mother, Mother, there’s so much meat! So much meat!”
Su Susu was also stunned. The moment she reached out her bowl, the lady steadily scooped a large spoonful of mushroom stewed chicken for them.
There was so much meat that she had never eaten this amount during festive seasons. The moment Su Susu saw her son drooling and envious, her eyes turned red.
If it was a last meal, it was worth it to be a starving ghost.
Su Susu thought that it would be over after so many potatoes and chicken stew. The lady who was serving rice shouted at her again, “There are two more dishes ahead!”
And two more dishes?’
Su Susu’s eyes widened!
Potato stewed chicken and rice were already good enough, but there were actually more dishes!
Was this really not her last meal?!
Su Susu was a little timid, but she could not resist the temptation and walked to the next table.
It was actually a golden and crispy fried fish fillet!
Ming’er was already clapping excitedly. “Mother, Mother, there’s still fish!”
Su Susu looked at the two large fried fish in the bowl in a daze, feeling indescribable complicated feelings.
The last dish was a crispy and refreshing seaweed stewed with sea mussels. However, it was a dish she had never seen before. It was green and she did not know what it tasted like.
By the time she collected the dishes from the three food collection points, the wooden bowl had already formed a peak.
Su Susu was about to find a place to wait for her husband when the soldier who was maintaining order said to her, “There’s still a place to get soup over there. Everyone can only have one bowl. After eating, go and get it. There’s a place to drink water over there. If your child is thirsty now, you can go there to drink water first.”
Su Susu was shocked again. There was actually soup!
The people from the southern frontier were too generous!
It was not convenient for her to fetch water with two bowls, so she waited for her husband.
Wang Fu found the mother and son after getting his food. His first words were, “Susu, the food is too good!”
Su Susu looked at Wang Fu’s bowl. His food was actually different from hers. It was probably because they had finished serving the previous dishes and changed a few more dishes.
The bamboo shoots stir-fried with pork belly, abalone stewed with vermicelli, and stir-fried melon slices also looked very tempting!
Seeing that his father was back, Ming’er immediately asked impatiently, “Father, can we eat now?”
Wang Fu smiled and nodded. Ming’er could not be bothered to pick up his chopsticks and directly grabbed a piece of chicken with his small hands and stuffed it into his mouths. After swallowing it, he hurriedly said, “Father, Mother, quickly eat! It’s too delicious!” Wang Fu picked up a piece of pork belly and placed it in Su Susu’s bowl. Su Susu picked up a piece of fried fish and placed it in his bowl. The couple looked at each other and smiled. They picked it up and placed it in their mouths.
The amazing texture instantly melted happiness into their mouths.
The couple looked at each other and couldn’t help but exclaim again. The food was too good!
It should be the most sumptuous and delicious meal they had ever eaten in their lives.
Those who had been recruited by Yu Suisheng to work in the southern frontier were all people from poor families who were starving all year round.
When they saw the people who were serving the food, and all of them returned with lots of sumptuous food, their necks were almost broken from extending too much.
Especially the people at the back of the team, they were afraid that they would have anything to eat.
Fortunately, the food was sufficient. Every new citizen was full of praise for the meal..
