Chapter 194: Tea Shed
Starvation or smuggling, the people of the cavalry team finally chose to smuggle, anyway, they will definitely be squeezed to death when they go back, and if they don't even have some money outside, they will definitely be starved to death, so it is better to break the law and discipline, and if they die, they will be full of ghosts.

Speaking of which, the cavalry team has an innate advantage in smuggling, and they are the most idle and useless positions in the army, so there are often other soldiers who bully them and let them stand guard for them, and all the cavalry team members know the location of almost all the posts, including the time of rotation.
If smuggling is the most profitable, it must be salt, the coast of Wei, so the salt of Wei is very cheap, and there is no salt field in Yan at all, so it can only be imported from Wei, because the state has a complete monopoly on salt, so salt is very expensive in Yan.
A group of people squatted in the mountains and studied for a long time, and finally reconciled all the opinions leisurely, and finally decided to smuggle salt.
It is a dangerous thing to cross the mountains, there are not only red-haired devils in this mountain, but also many wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, and it is also possible to get lost, and many people take risks and finally die in the mountains.
However, all this is not a problem for Xu Youran, mainly because Xu Youran has a cute little friend, that is, Xiaobai who was put into the mountains by Xu Youran.
Xiaobai is a wolf who is very good at politics, and in a few days it has killed the leader of a group of wolves on the mountain, occupied people's daughters-in-law, and became the new leader of people's wolves.
With Xiao Bai's guidance, Xu Youran and they easily crossed the forest, and Xiao Bai sent them all the way out of the forest until they were outside the nearest city in Wei before reluctantly leaving.
The reason why he is reluctant is not because of how deep his feelings are for Xu Youran, but entirely because Xu Youran took the rabbit away, and in Xiaobai's opinion, the rabbit is actually its spare food.
The first thing after entering the city was definitely to find a place to eat, so Xu Youran took everyone to the baked cake shop, ordered more than 500 baked cakes at once, and a group of people began to eat them.
The scene of more than 30 gentlemen eating baked cakes is really shocking enough, and the old man and the old lady of the baked cake shop are crazy, and they don't have to call other people anymore on this day, just make baked cakes for this group of people.
The people of the cavalry team have been gnawing on the nest for a long time, and now they see the baked cakes, and they are also meat-filled baked cakes, which are like starving ghosts reincarnated, holding two in one hand, desperately stuffing them into their mouths, a mouthful of baked cakes and a mouthful of soup, is there anything better in life?
There are tears of happiness in everyone's eyes, and there is meat to eat with the captain!
Each person ate more than a dozen baked cakes, and all of them had round stomachs and couldn't move in the baked cake shop. Xu Youran saw that he couldn't leave for a while, so he said to the old man and the old lady who sold the baked cakes while checking out, "Uncle, I want to ask, where is there a cheap place to sell salt? I want to buy some salt!"
Xu Youran's appearance is so good, no matter who sees her smiling appearance, they will have a good impression, and this old man and the old lady are no exception, so they said, "Young man, how much salt do you want to buy? If you buy less, there are grocery stores at this intersection to buy, and the old Wang's grocery store sells things without tricking people, and it is good to go to his house." If you buy a lot, then go to the salt bureau to buy some, but the salt can only be bought in sacks, not sold by catty. ”
"Uncle, is there a cheaper place?" asked Xu Youran again.
"A cheaper place?" the old man thought for a while and said, "There is no cheaper place, unless you go to the place near the sea to buy, the closest place to us is also Sea Dragon City, but I advise you not to go, there are pirates on the side of Sea Dragon City recently, the imperial court sent troops to suppress it, and there is chaos over there!"
Looking at the group of men who were eating to death lying in the back, Xu Youran felt that the trip to Sea Dragon City must be going, otherwise the money for selling salt once might not be enough for this group of people to eat.
"Thank you, uncle. Xu Youran smiled sweetly and handed the silver to the old man who sold baked cakes and said.
"By the way, little brother, what are you buying salt for?" the old man asked Xu Youran curiously.
"Smuggling!" Xu Youran said with big eyes.
"Huh?" The old man looked at Xu Youran in surprise, not knowing what to say.
"Pickles, we are pickles. As soon as the thin man next to him heard the conversation between Xu Youran and the old man, he immediately stopped lying on his stomach and pretended to be dead, and hurriedly got up and said to the old man.
"Scared me. The old man patted his chest and said, "The young man really likes to joke, but I like people with this kind of temperament." In this way, my brother-in-law sells salt in the salt field of Hailong City, if you really want to go there, look for him, and when you get there, you can mention me to him, saying that Lao Xiao asked you to go, and I promise to give you the lowest price. ”
Xu Youran and his party had a good night's sleep in the city, and the next morning, everyone prepared dry food and went on the road. Although Xu Youran's horse ran fast, she was the only one in this group of people who had a horse, so she couldn't ride first, she could only follow a group of people on foot, and the horse was carrying a group of people's dry food, slowly pacing behind everyone.
Everyone brought the food, but they couldn't bring the water, not because there was no kettle, but because the Wei State was very cold now, and even if they brought the water, they would get frostbite after a while, so even if they brought it, they couldn't drink it.
Fortunately, there was a tea shed on this road, and after walking for a long time, everyone was also thirsty, so when they saw the tea shed, they decided to rest, and after drinking tea, they hurried forward.
The tea shed is actually a shed on the side of the road, with a little wooden planks on all sides to block the wind, and there are several large dilapidated tables in it, each table can accommodate twenty or thirty people. The tea in the tea shed is also an ordinary big bowl of tea, which does not taste good, but it is much more expensive than others, and the boss's explanation for this is that although his family is expensive, his family has enough, and you can refill the cup infinitely if you buy a bowl.
In the barracks, you can't even eat the nest, everyone hasn't drunk tea for a long, long time, although it is the cheapest tea, but the taste is comparable to the jade liquid in the hearts of the cavalry team, and when they hear that they can drink it infinitely, the people of the cavalry team are excited. After the boss refilled the water for the thirty-sixth time, the boss cried and said, "I said uncles, the small shop is really out of water, and the well in the backyard has been drunk by you, can we discuss it, don't drink it, you hurry up!"
