Dual Transmigration: Starting from being captured and brought to the Hehuan Sect!

Lin Mo waved his hand:

"I have my own plans. You just need to bring the people here, and don't worry about the rest."

Seeing the new magistrate's resolute tone, Liu Si knew that further persuasion would be useless, so he agreed and led Zhang Tie and Wang Laonian out of the yamen.

The sound of the three people's footsteps gradually faded away on the empty street. Liu Si muttered to himself as he walked:

"A nursing home... We've never had one of these in Lianhai County before."

Zhang Tie replied in a gruff voice:

"The new magistrate has money, so we'll obey his orders."

Wang Laonian followed behind without saying a word, but clutched the newly issued silver ingot in his arms, taking much larger steps than when he came.

Lin Mo watched the three walk away, then led Long Qingxue to a side room and spoke to her:

"You stay here and keep watch. I'm going back for a bit, I'll be right back."

Long Qingxue nodded without asking any further questions.

With a thought, Lin Mo vanished from the county government office.

After returning to the warehouse in the main world, he issued a purchasing order to Su Qing.

He had Su Qing make a list of rations for 100 people for half a month, including rice, wheat flour, pork, rapeseed oil, salt, soy sauce, and spices.

Su Qing was also instructed to buy several large iron pots, a batch of lunch boxes, cloth, soap, and common medicines. In addition, all supplies except medicines were not to have any markings or writing on them.

Su Qing didn't ask any further questions and immediately carried out the order.

More than three hours later, trucks arrived one after another, bringing batches of supplies that filled the entire warehouse.

After the deliverymen left, Lin Mo put the supplies into his spatial storage and returned to World One.

"Have Liu Si and the others returned?"

Lin Mo asked Long Qingxue, who was standing guard to the side.

"Liu Si is back. Zhang Tie and Wang Laonian are still outside gathering the children and haven't come back yet."

"Tell Liu Si to come to the lobby to find me."

"it is good."

Long Qingxue turned and left the main hall, her skirt brushing against the thick layer of dust on the threshold, leaving a trail of light footsteps in the dimly lit corridor of the county government office.

Lin Mo walked to the side room, and with a thought, took out a batch of supplies from his spatial storage. Ten bags of 50-jin (25 kg) fine white rice were neatly stacked in the corner, a piece of pork was placed on a clean table, and next to it were several bundles of gray cotton cloth and several bolts of dark blue coarse cloth.

After doing all this, he returned to the main seat in the hall and reopened the yellowed county gazetteer.

A moment later, Liu Si strode in and bowed respectfully:

"Sir, you wanted to see me?"

"Go find a few women who can cook and sew."

I just had some grain and cloth sent over, to get some food and clothes for the children.

Liu Si acknowledged and withdrew, secretly marveling to himself.

In just one or two hours, the county magistrate had already dispatched grain and cloth.

He had served in Lianhai County for most of his life and had met three different county magistrates, but he had never seen anyone so efficient.

Who exactly is this new county magistrate?

Before long, Liu Si returned with four sallow-faced, emaciated women and a hunched-over old woman.

The four women were dressed in coarse linen clothes covered with patches, their hair was tied up haphazardly with tattered strips of cloth, their cheeks were sunken, and their cheekbones were high, making them look like they had been starving for a long time.

The old woman was clutching a wooden ruler that had been worn down to half its original length. As she entered the room, she squinted and looked around.

Liu Si introduced:

Two of them were Zhang Tie and Wang Laonian's wives, and the other two were maids hired from the street. As for the old lady, her surname was Sun, and she was the only tailor in the city at the moment.

Lin Mo led them to the side room and pointed to something in the corner:

"Here's rice and pork. Let's make some thin porridge for the kids to soothe their stomachs first. We'll steam a pot of white rice and make some braised pork for the party later."

Take it easy for the first couple of days, but afterwards you can eat as much as you want without worrying about saving. I still have plenty of food.

From now on, everyone needs to be well-fed, including you. Eat with the children.

He then pointed to the pile of cloth next to him.

"Use this fabric to make two sets of clothes for yourself and the children, so they can work easily."

The side room remained quiet for three full breaths.

The four women stared at the pile of things in the corner, their expressions not as if they had seen grain and cloth, but as if they had seen something beyond their comprehension.

Especially the bag of rice that was torn open, each grain was crystal clear and plump. It was not the brown rice they usually ate, which was mixed with bran and sand, nor was it the old rice that had been ground into crumbs. Even the Wang family seemed to have never eaten such fine grains.

Such good rice! These peasants have never even seen it before, let alone eaten it!

And that piece of pork, with fat as thick as two fingers, glistened with an oily sheen in the afterglow of the setting sun streaming in through the window.

These days, forget about meat; even a sip of vegetable soup with bits of oil floating on it feels like a holiday.

Wang Laonian's wife, Zhang, secretly pinched herself, as if afraid she was dreaming.

Zhang Tie's wife, Wang Ni, swallowed hard, her Adam's apple bobbing up and down, before she timidly spoke:

"Sir, what is this braised pork...?"

"Uh... I'll teach you in a bit."

Lin Mo had learned Yang Liu's cooking skills at her house before, and the recipes had long been ingrained in his mind, so a simple braised pork dish was no problem for him.

Wang Ni waved her hands repeatedly:

"No, no, you're an adult, how can I let you cook!"

In her mind, the county magistrate was the ruler of this land, only a few levels above the emperor. How could such a nobleman be allowed to be exposed to the fumes of the stove?

"It's alright. Hurry up and set up the pot and fire; it's getting late, and the children are still hungry."

Lin Mo waved his hand.

Several women responded and hurriedly began moving rice and meat.

That pig weighed at least two or three hundred pounds, and the four women carrying it swayed as they walked, but they couldn't suppress their smiles.

They never imagined in their lives that they would be able to make such a large piece of meat by their own hands.

After the women dispersed, the old lady Sun, who remained behind, squinted and approached the pile of cloth. She stretched out her calloused hand and touched the top piece of gray cotton cloth. Her expression gradually changed from nonchalant to shocked, and then to confused.

She spent her whole life doing needlework, and she had handled all kinds of fabrics, from the coarsest linen to the finest silk. She could name any kind of fabric with her eyes closed.

But she couldn't tell where this piece of cloth came from.

The color is a uniform gray, without a single impurity, making it far superior to gray cloth dyed using traditional methods.

What she couldn't understand the most was the feel of it:

It looked rough, but it felt soft to the touch. If you squeezed it and let go, the folds would spring back on their own. It was more durable and breathable than any fabric she had ever seen.

It is spun extremely densely, without a single knot or break.

Her thin, bony fingers gripped the edge of the cloth, turning it over and over as she examined it, murmuring:

"How was this cloth woven? What kind of loom was used? I've lived for over sixty years and have never seen fabric like this before."

Lin Mo didn't explain, but only gave a few instructions on the style of the clothes before leading Liu Si out of the side room and heading towards the backyard of the county government office.
