Traveling through the daily life of raising a family in ancient times

Chapter 79

When the day agreed with the Escort arrived, I got up at five o'clock.

The outrageous things on the mule cart had been taken back by Song Yeqing the day before, so they could go out as long as they washed and dressed.

The quilt and sheets were changed from home.

Mattresses and electric blankets were confiscated. Although the generator was no longer available on the road, it was still possible to use it this morning.

He Yanxin stuffed the key into the crack of the door of the house owner who lived nearby, and made an agreement when he went to make up the rent the first day.

After confirming that there were no mistakes or omissions, he drove to meet people.

When we arrived at the Escort Bureau, the goods parked outside were already packed to the brim. There were a total of nine carts, and we couldn't tell what they were all about.

The other car can be seen clearly from the torch, it is some luggage, pots and pans, food and so on.

Those bodyguards wore uniform black padded jackets and dark gray cotton trousers.All of them are tall and strong, with a big knife on their backs, and some of them also carry bows and arrows.

Some are drinking tea and warming up by the fire inside, and some are going to and fro, checking for gaps and making up for leaks.

To be honest, looking at it makes people feel safe, but the seven taels of silver doesn't seem to be expensive at all.

There are more than a dozen people in the corner, men, women, young and old, or perhaps a family.It just looks a little out of place with the surrounding environment.

At the other end, there were three people alone, one old and two young, and there was no relationship between them.

Seeing He Yanxin driving the car, the escort came over with a smile and cupped his hands and said, "Brother He, you have to wait a while, there are still people not here. Why don't you come down and enjoy the fire."

Yesterday, through He Yanxin's quick-talking conversation, the two are now brothers.

Even the ten taels of silver mentioned at the beginning was discounted to seven taels later.

He Yanxin also got out of the car and cupped his hands at him: "Brother Lu, it's okay. It's just that the child is asleep, so it's inconvenient. Let's wait here."

There seems to be no place in the main room, and it's not yet six o'clock.

As long as those who haven't arrived are punctual, they will be able to leave soon.

"Oh, if that's the case, brother He, get into the car to avoid the wind, and I'll call you when we leave."

Since Song Yeqing didn't make a sound or show up, Chief Lu didn't specifically say hello.

"Okay, Brother Nalu, you can go and get busy."

He Yanxin cupped his hands again and got into the car.The warmth inside made him unable to help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It's not a lie. The two brothers did fall asleep. Every time they get up early and go out, they must catch up in the car.

After several noisy conversations outside, someone came to shout, but it wasn't Escort Lu.

"Little brother, let me tell you, we are about to leave."

"Okay, thank you." He Yanxin had no choice but to leave the warm bed and go out to drive the car.

Song Yeqing wanted to replace him, but was rejected.

set off!

Lu Biaotou rode a black horse at the front, and behind him was the rider riding a brown horse.

Then came the carriage for Escort's own stuff, and then the nine carts of goods.

The bodyguards were divided into nine teams, each of three people was in charge of a cart of goods, one person drove the car, and two guarded by the left and right.

Of the remaining nine people, some were finishing at the end of the line, some were walking in the middle, and one was going to catch the car of the Escort Bureau.

With the blessing of the escort, He Yanxin and the others were able to line up in the second team behind the cargo, a relatively safe position in the middle.

In front of them were the three unrelated people, the youngest was driving a car outside.I found out later that it turned out to be the person in charge of this batch of goods.

Song Yeqing and He Yanxin didn't figure out the size of their entire team until they came down to eat at noon.

There are 38 people in the Escort, and 31 ordinary people follow them.

A group of 69 people went to Yexiao Mountain in a mighty way.

The first three days were uneventful, without any hiccups on the road.

When to leave and when to stop, Escort Lu is very well regulated.

The next two days are the most important. Everyone has reached the boundary where bandits often haunt.

The tripman has already carried the dart flag to the front to explore the way and shout. "He~wu." The tone is long at the beginning and high at the end.

"Weicheng Escort borrows the hero Han Baolu from all walks of life to pass!"

His voice was loud and clear, and he yelled every ten miles.

He Yanxin has a sore throat for him.

"Brother He, there is no need to worry. Our bodyguard agency still has some reputation in this area, and these people dare not provoke them easily."

Chief Lu thought he was worried about bandits robbing people, so he specially explained it.

There is a reason why they are expensive. The head of the Weicheng Escort and the heads of the major Escorts actually communicate with some of the cottages here.

With face and strength, even if you bump into it, you won't be robbed.

As for the small bandit forces, they are not afraid.

"Naturally, I am assured of the strength of the expensive escort, but since everyone knows that there are bandits here, why do so many people leave?"

Because most of the people following were on foot, the speed of the convoy could not be raised.

So now Song Yeqing was driving the car, and He Yanxin went to the front to talk to Lu Escort who was leading the horse on foot.

"You don't know, if you don't take this road, you have to take another long way, and the extra ten days' journey is really not worth it."

Escort Lu laughed heartily a few times, and turned his head to explain to him.

"Especially for businessmen, if the goods are delayed by one day, they will miss a lot of benefits. Especially for some fashionable goods, if they arrive one day earlier than others, they can make a lot of money.

Besides, taking a long way would cost a lot of travel expenses, so they were naturally not happy about it.Sometimes, the higher the risk, the higher the benefit...haha. "

"That's how it is. Eldest brother knows a lot, and younger brother has been taught. I haven't been to many places in the past twenty years. There are still many things that I have to ask you for advice."

He Yanxin looked ashamed.

"It's normal if you don't know. We people are used to traveling all over the world. We have seen a lot, so we understand a little bit more. It's nothing."

Lu Biaotou felt that he and He Yanxin were very close, so he talked a lot more for a while.

"Brother is well-informed and experienced, so why belittle yourself."

"Ah!" Boss Lu sighed, and then brought up another matter.

"Brother He, my next words may be a bit abrupt, but I still want to ask you."

He Yanxin nodded, motioning for him to say.

"The meat sauce made by my brother and sister is delicious, delicious, very appetizing, and easy to store. You also know that we walk the darts and sleep in the open air. Wouldn't it be beautiful if we could go with this sauce on the road?"

"So I just want to ask, brother, if you can sell the recipe to us. It's not a loss to you, but I can give you ten taels of silver."

He Yanxin didn't expect that he could recruit a business after just sharing a meal.

These ancient prescriptions are generally passed on inside but not outside, so the other party said it abruptly.

However, it is indeed sincere enough to give ten taels of silver.

But I still have to ask Song Yeqing, it will be embarrassing if I can't get it out when I promise.

"Brother doesn't know. This prescription is actually a dowry brought by my wife. I have no choice but to ask her."
