Chapter 46 What You Think Is a Coincidence

Lanzhi nodded vigorously, "I will, I am the best at sewing clothes."

"Then you go, I will do it here." Chen waved her hand.

Lanzhi went into the house, discussed with Gu Fei and Li Chunhua, took a pair of scissors and started cutting the leather. She had to cut it neatly before sewing it.

Chen came over after washing the dishes, and several women worked together enthusiastically.

While sewing leather, Chen asked Gu Fei, "Xiao Fei, can't we leave in the spring? It's getting cold, and we'll freeze to death if we travel in winter."

Gu Fei shook her head, "Mom, we can't wait any longer."

"We have to go to the south through several counties and thousands of miles, and it will take two or three months to get there."

"It's easy to get plague in spring, and we don't know how many people will starve to death this winter. If we're late, if we get infected with plague on the road, it will be all over."

"I'd rather freeze than leave early."

Chen was worried, and Gu Qing came in, "Sister, what else did you say you wanted to buy?"

Gu Fei nodded, "I want to buy raw Ginger, charcoal, hand warmers, foot warmers, frostbite cream, various commonly used medicinal materials, and more fodder for mules, as well as water bags, preferably leather ones, buy more, and alum, because clean water may be hard to find on the way. "

"You can buy whatever else you need on the way."

Gu Qing rubbed his hands, "Not buying food?"

"The price of food will definitely go up."

Gu Fei glanced at the people in the room, and made up her mind, "I still have food here, enough for our family to eat in the south."

The family probably knew her magical powers, so she didn't hide them anymore. She couldn't hide them on the way to the south.

She took out a hundred taels of silver and said, "I will pay back my uncle's money later, and then go to the village chief to pay back the money and get back the mortgaged land deed."

"You and Dad can use the rest of the silver."

Gu Qing took the silver and was about to leave when Chen suddenly stopped him, "I'm afraid we still have to buy some coarse grains. It won't look good if there's no grain on the cart."

Gu Fei looked at her mother and then at Gu Qing and nodded. Chen was thoughtful and wanted to hide it from others.

The next day, everyone in the family went to report the news and go shopping.

The two brothers of the Gu family and Gu Zhang went to the city again.

The few women left in the family kneaded dough, steamed buns, and made cakes at home.

It was more convenient to carry buns and cakes on the road than to carry flour.

Chen planned to steam as much as she could in the next few days. She quietly asked Gu Fei and said that she had a place to put it. If it was hot, it would still be hot when it was taken out.

The only thing Chen was not satisfied with was that there were only fine grains and no coarse grains, which was too painful to eat.

In the evening, the father and son who had gone out came back.

Gu Sanlang still stayed in the city.

Gu Zhang looked very excited.

The family sat at the table and prepared to eat. Gu Zhang smiled and said to Gu Fei: "Dad bought a map today."

Gu Fei's eyes lit up, and Gu Zhang said again: "Not only that, when I went to the carriage and horse shop, I happened to meet an old man named Ma. When he heard that I was going to the south, he said he was willing to be my guide."

"When he was young, he was a convoy driver. He went to the south many times and was familiar with the road."

"Now that he is old and can't do the convoy, he drives the car in the carriage shop. He is good at taking care of livestock and so on."

Gu Fei nodded and smiled, "That's great, this is simply a pillow for you when you are sleepy."
