Open stores all over the universe

After Lawrence went back, he found that he was still in the suburbs before he left. He looked around and saw that the huge egg was gone, and there was only a big hole in place. Looking carefully, it turned out that it was pressed by the egg.

Having obtained the most scarce food, the big stone that had been pressing on Lawrence's heart fell. He also ignored his appearance, and rode all the way back to the palace, and asked to see the king as soon as he entered the palace.

"Your Majesty, I have found food for the people!"

"Mr. Lawrence, are you serious?" The king was overjoyed, but he turned to doubt: "Where did you find the food?"

It's not that he doesn't trust the prime minister's ability, but that he is very aware of the poor state of the country. Even the rich don't have much food left.

"Your Majesty, I was lucky enough to reach the kingdom of giants and get help from giants." Lawrence put his chest on his chest and reported to the king.

"The kingdom of giants?" The king looked suspicious: "Lawrence, are you joking? The kingdom of giants is a legendary country, how can you see giants? Moreover, even if you really come to the kingdom of giants, you have only two days away from the palace. An hour, the speed of coming and going is too fast."

Lawrence knew that this was really hard to believe, so he communicated with the plane store, took out a grain of rice from it, and showed it to the king.

"This is the rice that the giant gave me. She gave me a lot. This is just one of them. Please look carefully, Your Majesty."

Whoa!The rice was as tall as two Lawrences, and the rice grains were taken out of thin air, so the king immediately believed it.

"Great, Lawrence, hurry up and contact the guards and distribute the rice to my people!" the king ordered.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, we can't do this for the time being." Lawrence put away the rice and said, "The giant gave us these grains under conditions. She asked for Master Gude's paintings in exchange. We must first get the paintings before we can distribute them. food, or the giant will be angry."

"Then what are you waiting for? Immediately summon Master Gude and ask him to hand over the painting to the Kingdom. Give him whatever he wants. If not, let him take it from the king's treasury!"

"I'm afraid it won't work, Your Majesty." Lawrence smiled wryly, "What the giant wants is "The Girl in Sleeping Flower."

"This is difficult." The king frowned. He knew how stubborn Master Gude was. Even a city in a neighboring country couldn't let him go. He didn't know if the reason for food exchange could impress him.

However, no matter how difficult this matter is, it must be done, and his people can't afford to wait.

So, the king ordered: "Lawrence, you leave immediately to go to Gude's house. Gude is also a citizen of my country of rye. For the sake of the country, I believe he can understand."

"Follow your will." Lawrence saluted and retreated.

Considering that people suffering from hunger would starve to death every second, Lawrence borrowed the royal horse and galloped all the way to Goode's house at the fastest speed.

After getting off the horse, he didn't care to catch his breath, and knocked on the door and said, "Excuse me, is Master Gude at home?"

"My father is painting, please come back later." A girl came to answer the door: "Ah, you are Prime Minister Lawrence!"

"It's me." Lawrence said, "I have something important to say to your father. This concerns the lives of thousands of people in the kingdom. Please make sure he takes time to see me."

"Okay." The girl nodded and ran into the room, shouting as she ran, "Father, Prime Minister Lawrence has something to ask for you, come out quickly!"

As soon as Goode is immersed in the painting, he will forget himself. At this time, anyone who disturbs him will make him angry, so no one dares to disturb him while he is painting.But there is one exception, and that is his daughter, Maggie.When Maggie was young, he often held her in his arms. Even if Maggie was dishonest and stained his paintings, he would not be angry, but happily threw the paintings away and coaxed his daughter to play.

"Got it, dear girl, I'll go now."

Gude was not angry when his inspiration was interrupted. He wiped his hands with a white silk and walked to the living room. At this time, Maggie had already brought Lawrence into the living room and made tea to entertain him.

"Master Prime Minister, what do you want from me?"

"Master Gude, the thing is like this."

Lawrence quickly explained the cause and effect to Goode. After listening to Lawrence's narration, Goode fell silent.

After a long time, he said slowly, "Maggie, bring the painting "The Girl Sleeping Flowers" hanging in my room to the Prime Minister."

"Father, do you really want to donate this? It's a painting for mom!" Maggie couldn't believe it: "How can you be willing?"

"Go, Maggie." Good repeated. "Bring her."

Maggie looked at her father and saw his determined expression. She knew that he would not change his mind, so she ran to Goode's room and carefully moved "The Girl Sleeping Flower" over.

"Here you are, Mr. Prime Minister." Maggie handed the painting to Lawrence.

After Lawrence saw the painting, he didn't take it. He bowed deeply to Goode, then wrapped the painting in silk cloth, got on the horse and left with "The Girl Sleeping Flower".

"Oh, she left me like this." After Lawrence left, Goode began to show a heartbroken expression. He was full of reluctance, and kept looking at the place where Lawrence had gone, as if mourning his lover.

"Father, you are obviously reluctant, why did you give mother's painting to the prime minister?" Maggie lay on her father's lap with a puzzled expression on her face.

"Maggie, if the chancellor trades for something else, no matter what, I won't give her to him. But we are citizens of the country of rye, a part of this country..."

Goode sighed deeply: "It is this country that feeds us, and countless people feed us. If they starve to death, we will live in a desolate city, and we will never see other life except vultures. .”

"Maggie, whether or not you will inherit my career in the future, I hope you will remember that you can paint again when there is no painting, and art cannot be born in a dead country."

After leaving Goode's house, Lawrence found a secluded place and submitted the painting to the Plane Store. When the painting disappeared, a white light flashed, and he knew that he could use the food he bought.

After submitting the painting, Lawrence didn't stop. He rode his horse to the granary and poured out the grain stored in the temporary space of the plane store, filling the entire warehouse with grain.

Then, he went to the gate of the granary and ordered the guards to say: "Captain Ross, take a team of soldiers to build a porridge shed and prepare to give porridge to the hungry; Captain Miller, send some guards to the city to recruit cooks and cooks, Let them come to cook porridge, and then organize some people to go to the city to publicize, and let those who have no food at home bring their cloth pockets to the granary to get food!"

"Yes, Lord Lawrence!"

Knowing that the matter was urgent, as soon as Lawrence finished speaking, the soldiers divided into three teams in an orderly manner, and followed Lawrence's instructions.

There are also old people and children in their family, and if they finish what the Prime Minister told them earlier, their family members will also be able to avoid starvation for a while!

Even though the guards had royal salaries, their family didn't have much food left. Now that the entire kingdom is in famine, even if they have money, they can't buy food!

The guards worked very quickly. It didn’t take long before a cook and chef volunteered to be recruited. With the help of the mason, the guards quickly set up the porridge shed and the pot, and waited for the food to arrive. Bring to a boil.

However, when the food arrived, they were dumbfounded. They saw two strong men carrying a bag of food with blushing faces and thick necks. When they got closer, they realized that it was just a grain of rice!

"What a big rice!"

They exclaimed, but they only sighed for a few seconds, and then stopped sighing.Because they were too hungry, they didn't care to think about why the rice was so big, so they turned on the fire to boil water.

After the water boiled, they encountered a second problem—the rice was too big to fit in a pot!

Fortunately, a clever cook suggested that they could split the rice, so they borrowed the saw of the craftsman, sawed the rice into two pieces, and divided them into two pots for cooking.

After the fire boiled the water, the cooks worked together and threw half a grain of rice into the pot. After cooking for more than half an hour, the pot of rice was finally stewed, and the porridge could be started.

So, the cook took out a large ladle and distributed rice porridge to every resident who came after hearing the news.Because the soldiers had notified them earlier, the residents who came here lined up in an orderly manner, and the scene was not chaotic at all.

They were all happy to know that the king wanted to give out porridge, but they didn't think how much food could be put in when the kingdom was in general drought, thinking that at most it was some rice soup.

However, when they actually received the porridge, they were surprised. Generally, the porridge has more soup than rice, but today's distribution indeed has more rice than soup.

It was full of rice paste.

They didn't know that the cooks wanted to save some, but the rice was too big, and it was very troublesome to divide it. In order to hurry up, they had to cook it first.

When the cooks served the porridge, the prime minister’s order spread throughout the city. Because the cooks could serve porridge at a limited speed, more residents chose to get food outside the granary. Therefore, according to the soldiers’ instructions, they brought grain bags, Follow the mighty team to the granary to collect food.

However, when they arrived, they heard complaints in front of them, so someone asked, "What's the matter? There is no food in the granary. Has the prime minister lied to us?"

"No." He heard the people in front of him reply: "The food they gave us is too big, we can't take it at all!"

The man was very puzzled, how much food would it take to make people unable to take it down? However, he soon lost his doubts, because the food was really big, and even the oldest father and son could not move it away.

The rice is long and slippery, and because it is too big to fit in the bag at all, it is not easy to hold it whether it is carried on the shoulder or held in both hands, and it is easy to slip from the hand.

So, the father and son borrowed a hammer from the person in front of them, smashed the rice into pieces, then smashed the pieces into bags, filled two bags full, and brought the grain home.

That night, countless people cooked rice pieces at home, and the smell of rice porridge filled the whole city after the pieces were boiled, and the city was finally saved from the threat of starvation.
