Lu Bu sat in the room, listening to the system's mission summary, with a look of ecstasy on his face.

317,200 points!

This was simply a windfall from heaven, and Lu Bu suddenly felt rich and wealthy.

"Ha ha!"

Lu Bu suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. His originally depressed mood became lighter because he had so many points.

What kind of refugees, what kind of food, what kind of soldiers and horses, it’s not a problem!



The morning light is rising.

Lu Bu looked at the pale golden sunlight shining in through the window panes, feeling particularly comfortable.

In all these years, he has never felt so relaxed!

Lu Bu looked around at everyone, only to find that everyone was frowning and bowing their heads in silence.

Zhang Miao stepped forward, raised his hands and said, "Marquis Wen, I have raised some more food from Dingtao, but it is far from enough for the army!"

Chen Gong frowned and said tentatively, "Marquis Wen, why don't you send someone to Xuzhou to deliver a message and ask Ambassador Liu to send some food to tide you over for the time being?"

Lu Bu nodded, "Gongtai, is our current problem a food problem?"

Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "Of course it's a food problem. If there is food, everything will be solved."

Lu Bu turned his head and looked at Zhang Miao, "Meng Zhuo, do you think so too?"

Zhang Miao sighed, "Gongtai is right. Xiaopei is too small. If we want to develop, we must recruit refugees. But without food, it is indeed a problem."

Lu Bu nodded and said slowly, "You don't have to worry about the food issue. I have found a lot of high-quality food in the warehouses in the city, which is enough to support the recruitment of refugees."

"What?"

When everyone heard these words, they were immediately surprised. They turned to look at Lu Bu with eyes full of disbelief.

Chen Gong felt a little unhappy and waved his hand, "Marquis Wen, this matter is urgent, so don't joke."

Lu Bu stood up, laughed and said, "If you don't believe it, please come with me and have a look."

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he left his seat and walked out the door without waiting for anyone to react.

While waiting for everyone to react, Lu Bu had already walked out of the room.

As everyone chased them out, they saw Lu Bu already riding in a carriage, heading towards the granary.

Everyone was talking to each other and chasing after each other, riding in cars and riding horses.

When everyone arrived at the granary, they were surprised to find that the person guarding the granary was Lu Bu's general Gao Shun.

How could it be Gao Shun's turn to do such a small thing as guarding the granary?

When everyone saw Gao Shun, they all speculated, does Xiaopei really have food?

Gao Shun was Lu Bu's general. If there was no food in the granary, how could he be sent to guard it.

Gao Shun opened the door, and Lu Bu went straight to the granary and stopped in front of the largest granary.

"Open the barn door and let's take a look at the grain."

"As you command!"

Several soldiers stepped forward and opened the heavy door. Lu Bu stood in front of the door and turned to look at everyone, "Look, everyone, here is food."

After hearing this, everyone hurried forward and as soon as they reached the gate, the unique fragrance of grain hit their faces.

“It’s really food.”

Chen Gong stood in front of the gate and saw that the warehouse was filled with a kind of light yellow stuff, which was a bit like the color of grain, but it was also a bit white and smelled like grain. Chen Gong felt a little strange and hurriedly He cupped his hands towards Lu Bu and asked tentatively.

"Marquis Wen, this is food. What kind of food is it? Is it really edible?"

If these things cannot be eaten, wouldn’t it be a joy in vain?

Lu Bu nodded and said slowly, "This is called cornmeal. It can be used to make porridge or steamed into pancakes. It is the best food."

“Cornmeal?”

How could Chen Gong have heard of cornmeal? He frowned, "Is this really edible?"

Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "Come here, bring the cornmeal and invite everyone to taste it."

Soon, several soldiers came forward with a small pot of porridge and some really good cornmeal pancakes.

Lu Bu pointed to the food in front of him and said, "Everyone fill up a small bowl and give each of these large pancakes a share."

The soldiers responded hurriedly, divided the porridge in the jar among everyone, broke the big pancake into pieces, and handed each person a small piece.

Chen Gong took the porridge bowl handed over by the soldier, took a careful sip, and tasted it slowly in his mouth. After a long time, he nodded, "It is indeed food."

Cheng Lian drank most of the bowl in one gulp and smacked his lips, "It tastes good. Let's have another bowl."

Zhang Miao nodded, "It tastes very good, slightly sweet, and has the unique fragrance of grain."

Having said this, Zhang Miao put small pieces of large pancakes into his mouth, chewed them, and nodded, "It's not bad to make pancakes. Although the taste is a little bitter, once you eat it in your stomach, but after tasting it carefully, it seems to be better than what we have now." The food is even more delicious.”

While Chen Gong was savoring the taste in his mouth, he turned to look at the cornmeal in a large warehouse, his eyes gradually brightened, and he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Haha, it's great. With so much cornmeal, you can also make porridge, which will be useful for the refugees."

Lu Bu listened to people saying that the taste was okay, and he was suddenly speechless.

Last night, after exiting the adventure world, he began to think about food.

At first, his plan was to exchange it for rice, but based on the principle of saving, he searched carefully again and found out that one point can be exchanged for 100 kilograms of rice, and similarly, one point can be exchanged for 300 kilograms of cornmeal.

The most important thing is that according to the above introduction, the ingredients of cornmeal are not lower than those of rice. In other words, eating cornmeal is the same as eating rice.

Lu Bu exchanged some cornmeal and asked Zhang Hu to make porridge. He drank a bowl and found that the taste was not bad, but compared with rice, it was far different.

At this moment, seeing everyone saying that cornmeal was delicious, Lu Bu had an impulse to take out some rice and let everyone taste it. I wonder what everyone's expressions would be after tasting it!

Lu Bu felt happy and said with a smile, "Since everyone thinks it's okay, then in the future, you can recruit refugees freely and don't worry about food anymore."

Hearing this, Zhang Miao couldn't help but be stunned. He turned to look at the food in the warehouse and frowned, "Marquis Wen, although there is a lot of food here, sooner or later it will be eaten out. If too many refugees are recruited, , and food is not in supply, wouldn’t that be bad?”

Chen Gong waved his hands hurriedly and said with a smile, "Meng Zhuo, you are worrying too much. Are you recruiting refugees just to support them?"

At this point, Chen Gong paused, pointed in the direction of the window, and said with a smile, "There is a large area of ​​uncultivated land outside the city, and there is also a lot of uncultivated land."
