After evacuating the enemy's warehouse, carry supplies through the disaster year

Chapter 31
"Brother, I want a little white horse, which is beautiful and runs as fast as the clouds in the sky.

Wherever my brother goes in the future, I can ride a little white horse together, so that my brother will not have to work hard. "Zi Luo pointed to the white clouds flying by in the sky, and said with a longing look on her face.

"Okay, after you learn how to ride a horse, my brother will take you everywhere!" Ziyu said, stroking the little guy's head.

The little guy will grow up one day, she can't be with him all the time, and it will be a good thing for him to take him around when he is older.

Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. At this time, Ziyu has not yet decided where to settle, so she can only take one step at a time.

"Master, the neighbor who tasted the stewed pork just now wants to buy a knuckle back for his family to taste." Chen Da happily came in with an empty plate and reported.

"Okay, take two out and sell them, and tell them to sell them at the door at noon every day."

Ziyu didn't expect to be able to open on the first day, and she was more confident in the marinade she prepared.

"okay!"

Thinking of Chen Da who had finally made a profit, he happily went into the kitchen and picked out two braised pork knuckles of the same size.

After a while, Chen Da came in with a handful of copper coins and put them on the small table in the courtyard.

"Master, we've made money! It's enough for our family to pay for a meal."

Chen Da, who knew the daily expenses of the family well, knew Hong Feiyang's food intake, and seeing that the house could not go out, he was really afraid that one day he would be overwhelmed.

"Haha, where is this going!
Work hard, there will be more opportunities to make money in the future! "

Ziyu, who is used to seeing gold and silver, really doesn't pay attention to the hundred and ten copper coins on the table.

After excluding the cost and labor, the net profit is less than [-] yuan. To her, she disdains to do this business.

But for poor families, it may be their monthly income, which is the source of support for the whole family.

"Master, I will definitely work hard. It is my greatest wish to make enough money for the family." Chen Da vowed.

Ziyu smiled and asked Chen Da to go down to work. The family's expenses were paid, and it was up to him whether he could borrow chickens to lay eggs.

...

The next day, the first rosy clouds appeared in the sky, and Ziyu, driving a mule cart full of goods, disappeared from the sight of the crowd.

Xiao Luo, who had never cried with her pursed mouth, finally burst into tears after seeing her brother's shadow.

"Brother, I want a brother!

Brother Hong, go find your brother!"

Hong Feiyang clumsily wiped more and more tears from Xiao Luo, coaxing loudly.

"Xiao Luo just promised her brother yesterday that she must be obedient, how could she forget it!

Little man, you must count on what you say, and you can't let your brother worry about it. "

"Wow... I miss my brother!"

Xiao Luo pointed in the direction where her brother disappeared, hiccupping from crying, Hong Feiyang had no choice but to carry him to the street to look for him.

...

Ziyu, who was out of everyone's sight, put her backhand on the carriage, and all the goods in the carriage disappeared.

Leaving only a quilt and a simple stove, pots and bowls, she rushed all the way to Jiangfu.

The curtains of the fast-moving mule cart were blown up by the wind, and the simple things in the carriage were displayed in the eyes of passers-by from time to time.

A mule cart with very shallow ruts, driven by a boy in cotton clothes, no one would be interested in it at all.

Ziyu, who traveled all the way across the mountains, sometimes stayed overnight in the wilderness, and sometimes collapsed in an inn.

Sometimes when Lu meets someone who wants to take a ride, he will frighten them away with a whip and leave quickly.

When they crossed the Baili Mountains and arrived at Xiagu Mansion, it was snowing heavily in mid-April.

Ziyu shivered and put on her sheepskin jacket, cotton boots, and even her winter hat.

Under the heavy snow, the road surface was soon covered in white, leaving a long string of ruts when the mule cart passed by.

Pedestrians and vehicles on the road speeded up one after another, hoping to find a shelter from the wind and snow to keep warm.

The uncultivated permafrost is bare. At this time, spring sowing has already been completed in the south, and the fields are green all around.

But the north is in depression, with bare branches hanging down dryly. Ziyu still remembers the heavy snow that fell early when she left last year.

...

At the end of April, Ziyu stood at the north gate of Yundu City feeling emotional after half a month of driving in the wind and snow.

Even she herself didn't expect that she would return to Yundu so soon, because when she left, she never thought that she would come back.

Ziyu, dressed in weathered clothes, led the mule cart and waited in line to enter the city. With sharp eyes, she noticed that more than [-]% of the people who left the city were carrying bags of grain.

"Fifty coins!" The soldier guarding the gate shrank his hands and said.

Ziyu was slightly startled, she clearly remembered that last year Yundu's entrance fee was only ten yuan, how could it have increased five times all of a sudden.

Ziyu quietly handed out fifty copper coins to the soldiers guarding the gate, and was able to lead the mule into the city.

On both sides of the cold wind blowing streets, thick snow piled up.

Pedestrians were all wearing thick winter clothes, shrinking their hands and feet to avoid the cold wind, without any feeling of spring coming.

There was a long queue outside the grain store, everyone was holding a cloth bag, and the price tag hanging outside the grain store said.

A liter of rice costs 55 Wen, and a liter of flour costs [-] Wen.

"Tsk tsk, this price is okay! You can make half of it if you change hands."

Ziyu, who was surprised by the price, thought more deeply.

Ziyu, dressed in sloppy clothes, led the mule cart to Xiangfu Street and picked out a stylish inn - Full Moon Inn.

"Stay in the hotel, ask for a room."

"Where are you beggars, this is not the place for you." The man at the door waved his hand in disgust.

"Hey, I said I'm going to stay at the store, so I see it clearly!" Ziyu took out a 500 tael silver ticket and slapped it on the clerk's face.

As soon as the clerk saw the words on the bank note, he immediately served Ziyu like a dog.

Ziyu remembered that this inn used to belong to An Guohou's family, but he didn't know which noble family it was now.

An upper room costs 20 taels of silver per night, a complete set of mahogany carved furniture with exquisite workmanship, burning silver charcoal, and brand new silk quilts.

Ziyu took a comfortable bath in the house, changed into a brand new brocade robe, tied her hair with a jade crown on her head, and hung a gem-studded foreign dagger around her waist.

A handsome young man from a rich family was born soon, coupled with his calm demeanor, although his face was young, he was undoubtedly a prince and aristocrat.

If you shake a gold-sprinkled folding fan in your hand, you will be a proper second-generation ancestor.

In Yundu, where people are judged by their clothes, Ziyu no longer keeps a low profile as a poor boy.

An Guohou's family was wiped out, and the clothes she collected before were long forgotten in the long river of history.

Ziyu, dressed in a gorgeous attire, invited the staff to order the four signature dishes of Manyuelou.

Almond whisk, anchovy shark's fin, coriander baby pigeon, multicolored beef tenderloin.

Because of the cold weather, there is a small charcoal stove under each dish to heat it up, and the porcelain plates on which the dishes are served are as white as jade, and a cup of golden bird's nest is also included.

Of course, the price also makes the store very satisfied, 288 taels of silver.
