My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 127 The Big Boss
Xin Nian really didn't expect that the siblings were both such capable workers.

Although she was born skinny and small, even shorter than her younger brother who wasn't as tall as the stove, she was truly...

She was incredibly efficient at kneading dough, rolling rice balls, washing vegetables, cooking rice, and stir-frying dishes, leaving the wives and young ladies of the first, second, and third wives quite bewildered.

All of them combined couldn't produce as many finished products as the siblings made, which really helped Xie Ninglan a lot.

Xin Nian hadn't originally intended to enslave the siblings right away; she wanted to feed them for a few days and let them gain some weight before doing anything else.

After all, she looks frighteningly thin.

But the two kids are incredibly capable, and they're honest and don't waste any unnecessary words.

Upon entering, seeing everyone busy, the two washed their faces and hands and decided to join in the work.

They got to work incredibly fast right away. Xie Ninglan wasn't complaining, but everyone here combined couldn't match the two siblings' abilities.

Xin Nian looked around and saw that her eldest sister, third sister, fourth sister, and fifth sister all had flour marks on their faces...

I didn't knead the dough much, but I ended up with a lot of flour on my clothes.

Well, everyone starts from the same point. With more practice, things should get better... oh well.

Xin Nian coughed lightly, "What would you like to eat for lunch?"

Before anyone else could speak, she made the final decision.

"Here'll be a beef hot and sour soup for you. You've already rolled out the dough, so you can make wontons. You can have whole mushrooms and meat filling, or just plain meat filling, whatever you like. Mianmian, come with me to help carry the stuff."

"Here you are~" Chang Mianmian rushed out like a butterfly, and soon returned carrying bowls of meat and vegetables.

Tian Xiaorui and her brother stared in disbelief, subconsciously swallowing hard.

Since the two siblings embarked on their escape, let alone a hot meal, even a bite of the coarse bread they hid in their clothes was a luxury.

The escape group was large and intrusive, so everyone avoided eating in front of others to prevent being robbed.

"Alright, you guys get back to work. I'm going out for a walk. Hurry up, we'll be done in three more hours. Once you're finished, just put the stuff inside, I'll send someone to collect it."

Xin Nian waved and left the room, and everyone busied themselves with their tasks.

With the help of Tian Xiaorui and her brother, everyone felt that the work was done much faster...

This is not their misperception; it is the truth.

Tian Xiaorui and her brother are incredibly skilled at everything they do, and Xie Ninglan thinks they could have twenty years of work experience.

Inside the house, everyone was stewing soup, making rice balls, baking some flatbread, and brewing several jars of sauce.

Xin Nian, the head manager, strolled around, trying her best to provide logistical support for everyone.

The patrolling soldiers returned looking exhausted, their throats practically hoarse from talking.

Xin Nian had someone prepare herbal tea and snacks for them to help themselves.

“Starting last night, people from each street have been sent to notify everyone.” Liu Huo took the register from the clerk and made a few marks on it.

"About 60% of the residents obeyed and left the city. The rest were difficult to persuade, so they left after the news was announced."

Xin Nian nodded. Good advice is useless to those who deserve to die. Everyone has their own fate. As long as they have fulfilled their responsibilities and have a clear conscience, that's enough.

"Don't waste time with the stubborn ones. Now that the mission is complete, get ready and leave." Xin Nian pointed to the pile of things on the side. "Take one for yourself, and after you've collected yours, go home and leave the city as soon as possible without delay."

The soldiers quickly lined up to receive their belongings. The remaining dozen or so hesitated, taking their things but lingering without leaving.

One of the older guards suddenly bowed and asked, "May we be allowed to accompany His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Xin Nian looked at Liu Huo.

Liu Huo said, "Oh, these ten men are all soldiers under Captain Zhang. Their situation is a bit special; they have no relatives or family. Miss, do you think we should keep them? My master said it's entirely up to you."

"They are quite skilled. It was this Zhang Shifuzhang who mobilized the troops this time. They were able to notify everyone in the shortest time. They are capable and deserve credit."

His Highness has no shortage of people around him, but it seems that the Sixth Miss doesn't have many capable people around her.

Zhang Shifu hurriedly turned around and bowed to Xin Nian, "Please, young lady, leave us brothers here. We will obey any request you may make."

Xin Nian pondered for a second and nodded, "Alright then, you can stay and observe for now. Let me make this clear: if your character is not up to par, or if you are careless in your work and do not meet my standards, I can fire you at any time."

She has no shortage of supplies anyway, so she can hire some skilled people to at least ensure she has enough manpower for night watch and such in the future.

The wealthy family doesn't mind paying for food and drink; as long as the person is of good character and can guard the house, paying them a high salary is only natural.

"Thank you, young lady." The eyes of the junior soldiers under the sergeant lit up.

"Don't get too excited yet," Xin Nian poured cold water on everyone's hopes. "The evaluation period is one month. Let's see if you can pass."

"Don't worry, young lady, I will definitely do my best!"

Xin Nian pursed her lips and went to the hospital to check on the situation.

Once all the pills have been distributed, the mission is essentially complete.

For several days, everyone worked like spinning tops, distributing the pills and sending all the patients away. They all slumped to the ground as if deflated, some even lying on their backs with their heads spread out.

"Supplies are being distributed!" someone shouted, and the people who had been sprawled on the ground quickly got up and rushed forward to join the queue.

"Don't grab, everyone gets a share! Line up properly."

Xin Nian had a grand chair brought over. She stood on it, exuding confidence and high spirits, and said, "I previously agreed that you would receive three days' work, and each of you would receive six catties of rice or twelve catties of beans per day."

"Given our outstanding performance and diligent work attitude, His Highness the Crown Prince has decided to award everyone a bonus. Each person will receive one pound of meat per day. The items have been distributed; please collect them individually without scrambling."

"After you receive your gifts, you can go back to your own homes and find your own mothers. Take good care of your families and property, and leave the city as soon as possible."

A cheer erupted from below.

The unruly middle-aged man skillfully tossed a tuft of long hair and slowly swayed toward Xin Nian.

"Dr. Xin, I'm all alone with no family or relatives. I'm afraid I'll be robbed on the road with so many things. Do you think I can travel with you?"

"Dr. Zhuang, have you thought this through?"

Dr. Zhuang clicked his tongue, "What's there to consider?"

He smoothed his long hair again. "It's safer to follow your group, right? As a healer with no strength to even kill a chicken, whether I can safely leave the city alone is another matter."

"My medical skills are pretty good. How about I give you a discount when you treat our team? I'll offer you a 20% discount."

Xin Nian looked at him expressionlessly, "Your abacus beads are about to jump into my face!"

"Oh, I've protected you all this way. And then you still have to pay to see a doctor, is that what you mean?"
