91, Chapter 91

When they were on their way after breakfast the next day, Yang Haiyan sped up. Originally, the carriage followed the group slowly because everyone was walking.

Yang Haiyan took away the female relatives of Aunt Lian, Aunt Fan, Aunt Yu, Kun Zhang, Meng Qiu, Huang Xu, Meng An and Niu family, a total of ten people. Plus Kun Shi and other private guards, there are twenty soldiers.

I have to say that, as she proposed, it would indeed have many benefits for her to take the first step. At least when Qin Fang arrives with a large team of people, he can start eating directly.

Two days later, everyone walked out of Yongzhou. In the past two days, the number of people eating has increased from more than a hundred at the beginning to more than a thousand, because the dry food everyone brought has gradually bottomed out.

As for rice, from the first meal of rice and bone porridge, to steamed buns, then to rice and sweet potato porridge, or baked potatoes, etc., anyway, they are mainly porridge, steamed buns, sweet potatoes and potatoes, mainly for convenience. When the day came, all the food Yang Haiyan had brought was eaten up. Compared with the cost of food, there is no gain and no loss. ‌Yes, it is earned without making a profit or losing money. After all, two hundred soldiers do not need to pay for food.

At noon that day, after dinner, Aunt Fan came to Yang Haiyan and said, "Madam, the food we brought has run out." There is a big difference between eating for a thousand people and eating for a whole family. If a family eats it, the food they bring cannot be said to last for a year. If it is eaten by a thousand people, it will be gone in two days. Aunt Fan's tone was full of worry, she ate all the food, and the wife also said she was responsible for the food for the whole team, so what should we do next?

Faced with Aunt Fan's worries, Yang Haiyan was very happy. She smiled and said, "It's better to eat up all the inventory. We can also relax when we hit the road."

Qin Fangzheng came to see her. When he heard this, he couldn't help but be curious: "How can it be fine after eating it all?"

Yang Haiyan turned around and said secretly: "Guess."

Speaking of which, Qin Fang does not know much about these common things. Although he came from a poor family, he had grandparents, parents, uncles and aunts at home before he joined the army. As the eldest grandson, it was not his turn to worry about mundane matters at home. After joining the army, he had all the meals in the kitchen, so he didn't have to think about it, so he was really curious when he heard Yang Haiyan say this.

Logically speaking, she should be worried when all the food she brought was eaten up, but why does she feel good about it? Judging from her tone, she also wanted to continue preparing for everyone to eat.

Qin Fang shook his head, lowered his body and said softly: "Good Yanyan, I really can't think of it, just tell me."

Yang Haiyan felt that this man was becoming more and more shameless. In public, even an old aunt like her was ashamed to hear such words, but he still came here casually.

When Qin Fang saw her looking at him, he said innocently: "My brain is not as smart as yours."

Yang Haiyan ignored him: "We are about to set off. I will know when I see you in the evening. I won't tell you now." After saying that, she left Qin Fang with the back of her head and walked towards the carriage.

Qin Fang was not annoyed when he saw this. Instead, he smiled, turned around and looked at everyone, and said sternly: "Everyone is ready to set off."

Yang Haiyan and his convoy quickly left the brigade, and not long after, they disappeared from everyone's sight. They were both carriages and horses. This speed made everyone on foot in the brigade envious.

Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Lu were on the same donkey cart. They originally sat separately, but after a few days, it became too lonely to sit separately. There was no one to talk to along the way, so they sat together.

Mrs. Yang said: "I see there is no food in Mrs. Qin's carriage. There are so many people eating in the past two days and there is not enough food. I don't know what to do next?"

Mrs. Lu glanced at her: "Don't we still have the food we brought?" They spent money on the Qin family's food these two days, so they only had what they brought.

Mrs. Yang: "Having said that, what should I do if it's the Qin family? General Qin has already spoken out his big words. You can't just eat it for two days, right?"

Mrs. Lu didn't have any other ideas: "We don't need to worry about this matter. We can't worry about anything. Let's see how General Qin arranges it."

Mrs. Yang didn't mean anything else, she was just curious and wanted to talk to Mrs. Lu in private.

An hour and a half later, Yang Haiyan and his group arrived at another village. In other words, they found them by village. Because Kunshi took this road, he was very familiar with the road conditions here and knew where the village was. "Madam, there is a village ahead. Do you want to enter the village?"

Yang Haiyan said: "Indeed. Arrange someone to tell the general that he will spend the night here tonight."

Kunshi: "Yes." He called Huang Huzi, "Huzi, go back and report to the Lord. We will rest when the team arrives here. We will spend the night here today."

Huang Huzi: "Yes..." He got on the horse and walked back immediately.

Yang Haiyan continued: "Captain Kun, let's enter the village."

Kunshi: "Yes."

When they arrived at the village gate, they, a group of forty people, attracted the attention of many people. In other words, when they appeared in front, someone would go to the village chief. After all, these people were either riding horses or carriages, and they looked like they were either rich or noble. When the nobles appeared here, the villagers were not only curious but also nervous, fearing that something would happen.

Yang Haiyan said to Kunshi: "Let them rest where they are. If we go there like this, we will scare them."

Kunshi made a gesture to the soldiers, and the soldiers immediately stood on the spot.

Yang Haiyan said to Aunt Lian: "Auntie, I would like to trouble the villagers to call the village chief and tell him that I want to negotiate a big deal with the village chief."

Aunt Lian leaned over and said, "Yes."

Aunt Lian walked to a few villagers who were watching them and said in a friendly manner: "Excuse me, we are the official family passing by. We have something to see the village chief and want to negotiate a business deal with him. I wonder if this lady can help. Go and ask for the village chief?”

After being questioned, the woman heard that they were officials' relatives, and immediately said respectfully: "Someone has already called the village chief. Please wait for a while."

Aunt Lian said, "Thank you so much, madam."

After a while, the village chief came. The village chief looks very old, has white hair, and is holding a cane. He seems to be in good spirits.

The village chief looked at them defensively. He approached from a distance, feeling a little cautious and worried. "Who are you?" He could see that this group of people was headed by this young woman, and there were so many attendants and guards around the woman, which showed that they had different identities.

Aunt Lian said: "Hello, village chief, my wife is a fifth-grade general and an official dependent. Today I want to negotiate a business deal with your village."

Talking about business? The village chief looked at Yang Haiyan in confusion. He had lived to his age and knew that there was no such thing as a pie in the sky. Even if the other party had an identity, he did not dare to refuse, so he had to be careful and inquire first: "Please Dear Sir, I wonder what business you are talking about? "

Aunt Lian also looked at Yang Haiyan, because she didn't know what kind of business the wife wanted to discuss, and the wife just talked about business.

Yang Haiyan said: "It's like this. My husband is a fifth-grade general of military virtue. I was ordered by the emperor to go to Yunxiang County to settle the border and surrender the barbarian people, so I passed by here. However, it is a long way to Yunxiang County. , everyone brought limited dry food, so I came to the village chief to order dinner for tonight, breakfast and lunch for tomorrow.

Today's dinner is sweet potato rice with a layer of oil-fried cabbage on top. It costs two cents a portion. The sweet potato rice should not be too little. It should be enough for an adult man to be 70% full. Breakfast is rice porridge with a boiled egg, which also costs two cents.

Tomorrow's lunch is two steamed buns for a penny. ‌How about one thousand meals each? "About Qin Fang's resettlement of the barbarians, everyone in the imperial court knew about it, and Yunxiang County also knew about it, so this is something that people all over the country can know about, and it is not a secret.

If it was a secret matter, Yang Haiyan would naturally not tell it. And she said this to reassure the village chief.

Sure enough, the village chief felt relieved after hearing what Yang Haiyan said. Moreover, if it is other business, he will worry about other things. If it is not a meal business, he will naturally not worry. Besides, the dinner of sweet potato rice and stir-fried cabbage with oil didn't cost a penny. The nobleman gave them two pence a portion, and they still made money. The next day, eggs were added to porridge for breakfast. It cost one penny to buy eggs, but it didn’t cost two pence to add eggs to porridge. Besides, two steamed buns cost nothing, so they still made money.

The village chief thought about it and thought it was a good deal, so he said: "The grassroots will arrange for everyone to prepare. Why don't you invite the nobles to the grassland's house to have a rest?"

Yang Haiyan said: "Excuse me over there." Then she said to Kunshi, "Captain Kun, you take everyone to wait here, while Aunt Lian, Meng Ping, Tao Shan and I can go."

Kunshi: "Yes."

The village chief took Yang Haiyan back to his home. He originally asked his daughter-in-law to clean up a room and come out to entertain guests. ‌It was because Yang Haiyan refused, she just sat in the yard.

Yang Haiyan sat down, and the village chief's daughter-in-law came up and asked, "I'm meeting your noble sir, would you like some tea?"

Yang Haiyan said: "Sorry for disturbing my sister-in-law, just bring me a pot of hot water."

The village chief's daughter-in-law said, "Yes, please wait a moment."

Aunt Lian took out a bag from her carry-on bag and spread it out: "Ma'am, fill your stomach." In the bag were small biscuits, sweet twists and salty twists.

Speaking of which, Aunt Lian and others learned how to use a satchel from Yang Haiyan. However, with this satchel, traveling is really convenient, as you can carry some things with you.

Yang Haiyan picked up a piece of biscuit and took a bite. The mellow milky taste spread from her mouth. Suck...a sound of sucking water passed into Yang Haiyan's ears. She turned her head following the voice and saw a little boy hiding at the kitchen door. The little boy stretched out his little head and looked at him curiously.

Yang Haiyan couldn't help but smile when she saw this cute child and waved to him.
