Chapter 103: Work Harder
Su Chen smiled bitterly in the carriage.
That day, the horse was startled and he was thrown out of the carriage. The horse dragged the carriage and no one knew where it went.
He lay on the ground for half an hour before two guards came to him.
The bag he put in the carriage, the clothes and luggage in the bag, were all gone. The official document with a seal that proved his identity was with his mother. He could not prove his identity as an official family member and could not stay in the official post.
Fortunately, the banknotes were hidden close to him and not lost.
So for the moment, for the sake of safety, he could only choose to go with these people.
Zhang Ze also smiled bitterly, "If there is a place to live, live there. If there is no place to live, there is no way."
Uncle Ma smiled, "Everyone is here, let's go."
Uncle Ma arranged the cars in order. The car he drove with Gu Zhanghe and the car driven by Gu Qing were in the front, and the two cars of his uncle's family were at the end. Su Chen's carriage was sandwiched in the middle.
Before setting off, Grandpa Ma said again: "We must walk faster, and pass Xishan County and Hedong County as soon as possible, and reach Huainan County."
Gu Zhang couldn't help asking, "Grandpa Ma, how long will it take us to get to Huainan County?"
Grandpa Ma thought for a while, "If we can walk a hundred miles a day, we can enter Huainan County in ten days."
"If we walk slowly, it's hard to say."
The village chief shouted after hearing this: "Then everyone should work harder, and it will be safe to get to Huainan County as soon as possible."
Hearing that it would only take a dozen days, everyone became excited, and the two grandsons of the eldest aunt's family responded loudly at the back, "Okay, everyone, work harder."
Gu Fei estimated that it was impossible to walk a hundred miles a day, and it would be good to walk seventy or eighty miles a day.
It is estimated that it will take more than twenty days to enter Huainan County.
Everyone set off.
Perhaps it was the effect of Grandpa Ma's words that everyone walked faster.
Uncle Ma's car was in front, and he would shout at refugees from a distance when he saw them, and sometimes whipped his whip to avoid being blocked.
As soon as it got dark, Uncle Ma shouted to stop, but everyone refused, "Let's go a little further, it's not completely dark yet, we still have energy, we can walk."
Everyone wanted to get to Huainan County as soon as possible.
Everyone insisted on walking for another half an hour, and then found an open space by the official road to start cooking.
As soon as Chen had set up the pot, Uncle Ma found Gu Fei, "The rabbit meat is ready to eat, it will go bad if you don't eat it now."
He picked up the wine bag in his hand, "I specially got some wine!"
Gu Fei smiled, "Eat it, I'll make it right away."
She went to the carriage and pretended to search for a while, and took out the marinated rabbit meat from the space.
Gu Fei took out the chopping board and was about to cut ginger and garlic. Lian'er quickly took it over, "Miss Xiao Fei, don't do it. I'll do whatever you want."
Seeing that Li Chunhua had just cooked the rice, Gu Fei was not in a hurry. She closed her eyes and searched for ingredients in the space.
As a result, she really found something. There was a bag of potatoes in the corner. Gu Fei herself didn't remember when she put it in.
Potatoes also existed in this era, but they were not widely promoted, and few people used them to cook. They were just cooked and eaten as food.
Gu Fei got up and walked to the mule cart, took out two big potatoes, Lian'er took them, washed them and peeled them.
Cut the potatoes into small pieces and marinated them for a while. Gu Fei heated the oil in the pan and fried the potato pieces.
Seeing that the rice was almost cooked, Gu Fei started to fry the rabbit meat.
The rabbit meat was fried in the oil pan until it was crispy before being fished out.
Gu Fei then added ginger, garlic, and dried red peppers. Considering Xiao Cao, Gu Fei did not add too much pepper. She sautéed the ginger and garlic, added a few peppercorns, and then added the rabbit meat. Gu Fei added some sugar to enhance the flavor, and then added potatoes, pepper powder, and soy sauce.
Seeing that it was almost done, Gu Fei sprinkled a handful of cumin powder, and the aroma immediately spread out domineeringly.
