Chapter 738: Chapter 738: The Moment Witnessing Miracles Chapter 738: Chapter 738: The Moment Witnessing Miracles Shu Yu said it was a good thing, so it definitely was a good thing.

Everyone thought so, and therefore, after finishing their meal, they all looked forward to seeing what she had in store.

Shu Yu went to her room and brought out several items, placing them in the living room. Everyone curiously stepped forward to take a look, somewhat puzzled. Were these the good things she spoke of?

Zhao Xi was even more astonished as he spoke, “Aren’t these just the stone dust you were fiddling with in the courtyard the other day…? You’re showing us this?”

“Just wait and you’ll see.”

Shu Yu quickly went to the kitchen and brought out a small pot used for brewing medicine, “With limited options, we can only use this pot.”

She opened the medicine pot, put in a cloth bag filled with ‘stone dust,’ and then added water.

Next, she placed a rather thin plate on top of the pot, which contained a handful of rice and some water.

Shu Yu covered the plate, which also had a small hole in its lid.

“All right, now comes the moment to witness a miracle,” she said, scanning the crowd, and then with a smile, under their puzzled gazes, she continued, “I can cook the rice in this plate without any fire.”

Zhao Xi pointed at the remaining cloth bags on the table, “Just with this?”

Before his words had even finished, he saw smoke rising from the small pot, so fast that he almost dropped his jaw in astonishment.

“This, this… it’s actually smoking!!” Zhao Xi drew in a breath of cold air and reached his hand out to lift the lid.

Shu Yu quickly slapped his hand away, “Don’t touch it, it’s very hot.”

Zhao Xi hurriedly withdrew his hand, but his eyes remained fixed on the pot in front of him, even holding his breath.

Even Meng Yunzheng, who was always calm and composed, couldn’t help but light up with fascination, watching intently.

The old lady was even more stunned. If Zhao Xi hadn’t moved quickly, she might have reached out to lift the lid herself.

Hearing it was quite hot, she hurriedly pulled one child with each hand, gripping Sanya and Dahu’s hands while watching nervously.

Before long, a bubbling ‘blub blub’ sound came from the pot, and slowly, the aroma of cooked rice wafted out, just like when they would cook rice normally.

“It smells so good, it really is cooked,” Dahu said, his little face full of shock.

This truly was a miracle; his second sister was so skilled, she really managed to cook rice without using fire.

Dahu and Sanya turned their heads in unison, looking at their sister with admiration.

Shu Yu couldn’t help but reach out and caress the two children’s heads, saying, “It’s a good thing, isn’t it?”

“Yes, a good thing, this is definitely a good thing.” Before the kids could answer, the old lady and Zhao Xi chimed in in perfect unison.

After they finished speaking, they exchanged glances, with the old lady giving him a somewhat disdainful look.

Really, why was he competing with an old lady for words?

Zhao Xi chuckled and then excitedly looked at Shu Yu, “What on earth is this contraption? How did you make it? Is it with that stone?”

Meng Yunzheng also looked at her, “Is this thing easy to get?”

Shu Yu nodded, “It doesn’t cost much.”

By now, the rice was cooked, and the bubbling sound of the water also stopped.

Shu Yu carefully opened the lid with the cloth, and the aroma became even more pronounced.

She brought the plate down to the table, and the old lady and Zhao Xi immediately went forward, pinched a grain of rice, and chewed it, indeed finding it soft and well-cooked.

Meng Yunzheng picked up the cloth bag and inspected it carefully.

Shu Yu explained from the side, “This thing is called a Heating Pack. It heats up when in contact with water, can boil water and cook rice, and is convenient to carry. I plan to use this to shed my exile status.”
