She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 174 How Do You Roast and Eat Live Silkworms

Chapter 174: Chapter 174 How Do You Roast and Eat Live Silkworms

The mere presence of firearms, and there were a hundred of them, not to mention countless replacements for gunpowder.

Xiang Ying’s eyes shone brightly.

She reached out to touch the firearms, squinting to check the muzzle of the gun.

But was pushed down by Jie Chen: "Don’t point this thing at your own face; you need to be careful."

Seeing his frowning expression, Xiang Ying smiled, "I know this, don’t worry, I’m very familiar with how to use it."

Afterward, Xiang Ying didn’t chat much longer, reaching out her hand, she collected all the weapons into her space right in front of Jie Chen.

Jie Chen’s expression turned serious: "These weapons, half of them don’t look like they were made in Nanyue."

Hearing this, Xiang Ying looked back at him: "What do you mean, these were plundered from Xizhou?"

Jie Chen bent over, his long, slender, cold-white fingers picked up some of the fire ash from the ground and rubbed it.

His long eyebrows furrowed slightly: "The fire ash in Nanyue has a stronger saltpetre smell, this is definitely Xizhou’s gunpowder."

"But here lies the problem, when attacking Xizhou, the Sixth Prince was still in Nanyue. How could there be so many Xizhou weapons? Could it be that he had already colluded with the traitors inside your Xizhou?"

Xiang Ying raised an eyebrow, not at all surprised.

"With the temperament of my dog emperor Father, it’s certain that there are numerous flaws within Xizhou, having one or two spies is quite normal."

Jie Chen mused: "But the Sixth Prince hoarding so many weapons, it’s possible he has other plans."

At this moment, both he and Xiang Ying guessed a possibility.

Could it be the Sixth Prince was plotting a rebellion?

Xiang Ying smiled, "Now it’s good, we took it all away from him, making him go for broke."

Having collected everything, she took Jie Chen and left.

Aren watched them with empty hands, quite stunned.

"Big Sis, aren’t you taking anything?"

"With just the three of us, we can’t carry so much, rest assured, the Vice General will send people to clear this place out." Xiang Ying casually gave a reason, smiling as she patted Aren’s shoulder.

Aren nodded heavily: "That’s good."

They went back to the Exile Team, rested for one night, and then set out again.

Xiang Ying went into her space to organize things.

The requirement for upgrading to the thirteenth floor of storage, she has now fulfilled twenty thousand pieces.

She is only short of thirty thousand weapons to open the floors above.

And in these past few days, her planting floors had already seen a great harvest.

Xiang Ying set the robots to collect and sort on schedule, and gave a thorough tidy-up from the first to the ninth floor.

After entering Mei City, there will certainly be places to store things.

Thinking of her cartoon sprites, Xiang Ying bit into a candied hawthorn she had made for herself, and went up to the screen to have a look.

She did not expect that just glancing at it for a moment would leave her stunned in place.

"I’m not seeing things, am I..." She carefully wiped the screen.

The upper left of the display showed 2500 people in Sha City, clicking the exclamation mark behind it revealed detailed subdivisions, even marking the three newborns.

After the shock, Xiang Ying’s delight burst into laughter.

"My Keke Sect is so powerful, from the original two people to now two thousand five hundred! Great, great, great, the harder you work, the more I can exchange from the trading system!"

She immediately sent over many of the freshly harvested fruits and vegetables.

She also sent a lot of pigs, sheep, and cows, as she noticed that the cartoon sprites had started to research and try breeding.

The entire Sha City had street markets and snack stalls, and ever since Xiang Ying provided a water source, their days began to flourish.

The originally peaceful and tranquil Sha City boiled over again due to Xiang Ying’s provision of resources.

General Wei Yong ordered his Think Tank: "Quick! Take the portrait we prepared and show it to God Wang Ying, see if it pleases him? If he’s willing, we’ll erect a statue for him!"

The Think Tank grabbed the portrait that someone had painted and rushed out of the tent, holding it high towards the sky.

Xiang Ying noticed, but the figure in the portrait was too small, she pinched on the screen to enlarge it, finally able to clearly see what they were trying to show her.

"A nose and two eyes... wait, could this be their imagined portrait of me?"

But looking at the figure in the portrait, a tiny person had a cartoon knife tucked at his waist.

No matter how she looked at it, it resembled a man.

The Think Tank was still earnestly holding it up when suddenly, a column of water poured down from the sky, drenching him and knocking him down!

Generals Wei Yong and Zhong Yong hurried to help him up.

"Is the Think Tank okay? Has the... the deity actually grown angry?"

The Think Tank wiped the rainwater off his face and saw that the painting in his hands had completely had its ink washed away.

He burst into uproarious laughter, looking extremely agitated, "I get it, I get it! God Wang Ying isn’t satisfied with our painting, let’s change it again!"

Over there, Xiang Ying flicked off the droplets on her hand and muttered, "Go ahead and fuss over it; right now, expanding our territory and developing the population is what’s most important."

She left the space and opened her eyes in the swaying carriage.

Lifting the curtain to look outside, the closer they got to Mei City, the more she could see the severity of the drought—the cracks in the fields were wide enough to stick a hand into.

Suddenly, Xiang Ying spotted two carriages lying sideways in a nearby field.

The little ones have sharp eyes; Xiang Xiuxiu frowned, pointing over, "So many bugs!"

Xiang Ying took a close look.

These weren’t insects; these were silkworms!

"Stop the carriage!" Xiang Ying called to Qi Fengyi, who was driving.

Ignoring the puzzled looks of the others, she picked up a basket and swiftly ran over.

Inside the two carriages were baskets for raising silkworms, perhaps about thirty-some baskets in total.

Looking at the situation, it must have been some silkworm farmer who had to leave in a hurry due to some incident and thus abandoned these silkworms.

If Xiang Ying arrived just a bit later, these silkworms would have probably sun-dried to death.

She quickly loaded them into the basket and, where no one could see, reached out to stash most of the silkworms into her space first.

Jie Chen rode beside the Exile Team, glancing sideways to see Xiang Ying crouched down picking something up.

Acid Scholar: "Vice General, do you need my unworthy self to rush her?"

Yet, Jie Chen only pursed his lips, saying, "Let her be, it won’t be a long delay."

The Acid Scholar nodded in understanding.

After all, in the eyes of their master, whatever Xiang Ying chose to do was always right.

Xiang Ying, holding a basketful of silkworms, cheerfully walked back.

Xiang Xiuxiu, who was afraid of bugs, quickly hid behind her two brothers.

"Mother, don’t bring them here, I’m scared."

Aren’s eyes were darkly gleaming as he picked up a silkworm and teased Xiang Xiuxiu, "These are tasty when roasted, sizzling with oil!"

Xiang Xiuxiu was indeed frightened, pouting her little mouth, her big eyes brimming with tears.

Aren immediately panicked and, under the stern gazes of his brothers, Xiang Yuanshuo and Xiang Yuanlang, he kept apologizing to Xiang Xiuxiu.

"I’m sorry, Xiu Xiu, I didn’t mean to scare you, I haven’t even eaten these silkworms..."

Xiang Ying laughed, "Of course, these are not meant to be eaten."

Xiang Qianqian followed from a distance, seeing Xiang Ying pick up a pile of things back to the carriage.

Throughout the journey, Xiang Ying had been "finding bargains" along the road.

Just a few days ago, she found a bundle filled with gold and silver jewelry and land deeds.

Earlier, Xiang Ying also dug up a lot of wild vegetables at the roadside; she mentioned something about shepherd’s purse, which Xiang Qianqian couldn’t recognize.

She just knew that when Xiang Ying chopped up those vegetables to make dumplings, watching them savor the deliciousness made her drool with envy.

Xiang Qianqian thought for a moment, mustered up her courage, and also walked toward the carriage scattered with silkworms.

She picked up some and brought them back.

At night, when the Exile Team arrived outside of Mei City, it was already past the time for entering the city.

Therefore, Jie Chen ordered the team to rest on the spot, waiting to enter the city at dawn the next day.

The soldiers set up a fire. Enduring her disgust, Xiang Qianqian strung the silkworms she picked up on sticks, one by one.

After being roasted by the fire, those white, plump insects immediately curled up and turned black.

She endured the nausea and took a couple of bites, nearly vomiting.

But since Xiang Ying picked them, they must be valuable; it would be such a waste not to eat them.

Thus, Xiang Qianqian alone ate two sticks of white silkworms.

When Yu Pin passed by later on, she was taken aback and nearly retched.

"Fifth Princess, why are you eating silkworms?" freewēbnoveℓ.com

"What? These are silkworms?" Xiang Qianqian was stunned.

By the time she realized it, her stomach was already in turmoil, and she rushed to the side, fingers down her throat, vomiting incessantly.
