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

Chapter 154 Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality
Xin Nian cooperated with his father, calling out "Luan Dalong Xiaoyong," and then called a few soldiers to carry the wine jar away together.

Some people in the teahouse followed with curiosity, but were impatiently driven away by Zhang Shifu and his men.

Xin Wenyuan called Chang Mianmian over and pretended to carry several pots and jars over to perform the act of filling wine.

Actually, as soon as the jars hit the ground, Xin Nian put away the two jars of wine in front of Luan Dalong and the others.

The Luan brothers, Dalong and Xiaoyong, were already well aware of their young master's incredible abilities to fly and move things around, so they were not surprised by the mere act of moving objects.

However, several soldiers under Zhang Shifu looked quite surprised.

Xin Wenyuan stepped forward, patted them on the shoulder, and comforted them, "The stuff is too heavy to carry easily. Putting it away won't affect our journey. Don't mention this to outsiders."

Several soldiers who were still on probation quickly bowed and nodded, saying in unison, "Yes."

Since Xin Nian intended to use them, he wouldn't hide anything in his actions. Showing off his abilities and skills would actually make it easier to convince the public.

The father and daughter returned to their resting place, where Xie Ninglan and He Yun had already started cooking noodles.

For the past few days, they've basically only eaten one meal a day. After a long day of walking, many people in the group are too lazy to start a fire and cook, so they just dig up some wild vegetables from the roadside to fill their stomachs.

Most people are reluctant to eat because they want to save food.

Today, several members of the Chang family collapsed from hunger. Madam Chang the Second ordered her men to force these unconscious members of the Chang family into the Han family's carriage, almost causing a fight between them.

Xin Nian, having made a lot of rice balls of various flavors beforehand, knew she couldn't possibly let her own family suffer.

She would secretly slip a few rice balls to Xie Ninglan every day, and the children would eat a couple of bites of rice balls to fill their stomachs when they were hungry.

Xin Nian took out a small jar of bone broth and handed it to Xie Ninglan. The noodles were cooked quickly. After they finished cooking, they sent a bowl to the old lady and let the people from the first, second, and third wives prepare their own.

Since everyone used the same ingredients, and since they had made rice balls and bone broth together last time, Xin Nian treated everyone equally and distributed rice balls and soup ingredients to each household.

They provided the noodles themselves, as they had been given them when grain was distributed before.

Do it yourself; no one is anyone's mother. Take care of your own household chores.

Xin Nian treated the other wives with disdain, but the first, second, and third wives were extremely grateful to them.

Xin Wen'an and the others have gotten used to it now. Their little niece has that stubborn temper; she's all smiles most of the time, but the moment something crosses her line, she turns on you and refuses to acknowledge you.

Hitting someone is the least of your worries; they could kill you in a heartbeat.

So they figured out the pattern and learned their lesson, deciding not to offend them. Their niece generally didn't bother with them anyway…

The pork bone broth was added to the pot again, and the aroma of the bubbling soup was simply irresistible.

The Chang family, who had originally planned to eat some wild vegetables to fill their stomachs, were so hungry that they were seeing stars.

Adding to the commotion, Madam Han made several sarcastic remarks, which angered the Chang family so much that they started a fire and began cooking.

The team leaders sneaked over to Xin Wenyuan and his group again.

At that time, Xin Wenyuan had already slurped down a large bowl of bone broth noodles and gnawed on two pieces of fragrant meat.

He had just finished eating when he stood up and stopped the group of clueless tour leaders, asking, "What are you doing?"

Do they have any sense of apocalyptic consciousness?

In the end times, when people see a family eating together, they will keep as far away as possible out of politeness.

Xin Nian rummaged through the noodles in her bowl, glancing up at the team leaders. Xin Wen'an, who was scooping noodles from the pot, guarded it like a thief, afraid that others would take a second look at the food in his pot.

"Hey, we're having soup dumplings tonight?" Several team leaders, their eyes darting around, tried to bypass Xin Wenyuan and head towards the pot.

"What, want some?" Xin Wenyuan said without any politeness, pushing the boy back two steps.

In ancient times, people called soup noodles "tangmian" (soup noodles). Xin Nian mentally adjusted to the term before speaking, "Xin Laosan, why are you so slow? Is it ready yet? If it is, hurry up and take it aside to eat. Can't you see the troublemaker is coming? Put the pot away."

Xin Wen'an said with an annoyed look, "Our third branch of the family was the last to cook, so this is already fast enough!"

As he spoke, he quickly finished the last bowl, then protectively carried it behind Xin Nian and the others.

"Why did you push me? I didn't mean anything by it, I was just looking. Are your soup dumplings cooked in meat broth?"

"Hey, that's really strange. Everyone's on their way, so when did you hunt some wild game and make some soup? How come no one else knows?"

The Xin family members were all very knowledgeable; the way they preserved the meat soup and rice balls must have been quite strange.

Because over the past few days, every time they saw the rice balls and meat soup, they were still very fresh and even hot.

The eldest son's mother and her family knew about the third son's family much earlier than the eldest son's family.

On the first day after the two children, Xin Zhe and Xin Man'er, hid in the carriage to have lunch, they hugged their mother and whispered that their fourth aunt had given them meat-filled rice balls and each of them had a small bowl of soup, which was fragrant, soft, and hot and very delicious.

The eldest daughter-in-law and her family knew perfectly well that the fourth wife must have some special ability to preserve food. After all, they all knew how much luggage had been carried in the carriage along the way.

The rice balls and bone broth I made earlier were not even put in the car.

After learning about this, Madam Nie repeatedly told her two grandchildren not to go out and talk about it with others.

Lin Xiuyi and Mei Zhuqing also taught their children that whatever their fourth aunt gives them, they should thank her properly and accept it, remembering the help from their fourth uncle's family, and not to ask about anything else.

Someone would then raise a direct question, but the rest of the Xin family members would quickly and silently remove their masks, none of them uttering a sound.

Xin Wenyuan, used to bluffing, immediately put his arm around the team leader's neck and said with a grin, "Brother, you're quite the busybody. What, do I have to report to you if I catch wild game on the road?"

"Go away!" he said, kicking the team leader away.

It really caught people off guard.

The team leader, who had been smiling and joking with him, froze on his face when he was kicked out, creating an awkward scene that made Xin Nian burst out laughing.

I believe Lao Xin is truly miserable.

Xin Wen'an, who was shoveling noodles into his mouth, was choked by his younger brother's antics and almost spat out a mouthful of soup.

He coughed repeatedly, and Zhuang, who was sitting next to him, handed him a handkerchief with a look of disgust.

The group leaders' men were resting in the teahouse when they discovered that their leader had been beaten, and they all rushed out at once.

The team leader was helped up from the ground by others, looking somewhat embarrassed, while the others also wore angry expressions.

We all fled the famine together, and everyone was so poor that they had to dig for wild vegetables to eat, so no one felt resentful.

But what about now? They're all eating wild vegetables and coarse grain cakes.

What are they doing? Eating meat soup noodles! The key is that they can even eat meat, which is quite eye-catching and absolutely unacceptable.

Xin Wenyuan was very full, and he bounced around on the spot, looking like a spoiled brat who would beat up anyone who dared to mess with him.
