Chapter 137: Northbound

The pregnant woman has a very different temperament from usual, if everyone agrees, Dong Rong may retreat, but everyone is slapping her sideways, which arouses her rebellious mentality, and she insists on going out of this far away.

She didn't argue with everyone, she simply lay down on the bed, and after two meals of hunger, everyone immediately gave in.

Old Man Feng sighed and told Qingfeng to pack his luggage, and he would also follow with the car, so as to save Dong Rong from having a bad pool on the road and no one to treat him. Dong Rong was inevitably a little ashamed when she heard this, but it was still impossible for her to dispel the idea of going out. So he had to cook two good dishes to make amends to the old man, and finally persuaded him that he had been pregnant for three months, and his actions were fine. When the time comes, prepare more medicinal herbs, and then bring a fresh breeze.

Old Man Feng thought that Qingfeng's medical skills were already considered an apprentice, and the Wang family's firm and orchard also needed manpower here, so he reluctantly nodded. In the end, I personally went back to the small courtyard in the east of the village to take a lot of medicinal materials and boil them, and finally made many pills to treat wind and cold, those who are not accustomed to water and soil, those who have poor food, and even more than a dozen bottles of wound medicine are prepared, and a wooden box is filled before it is considered to stop.

Wen Niang and Zizhu were not idle, one of them picked up clothes and clothes, and the other was busy preparing food on the road, from morning to sunset, they were so busy that they almost didn't touch the ground, and later they called Meihua and Chu Silian to go up the mountain to help.

Dong Rong sat on the low floor with nothing to do, writing and drawing, thinking about what to bring to her younger brother. Needless to say, thick bedding and clothes must be carried, as well as a small iron stove that can be easily placed in the tent for heating, and most importantly, food that is easy to store and does not perish. Although the two sisters and brothers lived very hard under the Niu family before, the last year is definitely "brocade clothes and jade food", Dong Ping suddenly fell into a poor place like the military camp, and his eyes turned blue when he missed the food at home. So, no matter what, bring more food with you.

The batch of Songhua eggs made before the orchard welcomes guests should be fully cooked, and it was originally intended to be put in the restaurant as a specialty, but now it is better to divide half of it and take it to Northern Xinjiang, as for meat, it seems that there is nothing more durable and delicious than dry sausage. Snacks are packed with biscuits, tightly wrapped in thin oiled paper into a cylinder and sealed, which is easy to carry and moisture-proof. The most difficult thing is the staple food, and the pancakes at home are a good choice, but since the snack grows, no matter how good the taste is, it is a little boring, but I have to think of some other ways.

Dong Rong bit the pen and frowned and thought for a long time, not to mention, she really remembered a good thing. In her previous life, when she was working in a noodle shop, she often heard a little sister talk about how delicious the handmade noodles made in her hometown were, and even carefully explained to her the process of making zuò. Later, the little sister was not angry with the boss and actually went back to her hometown to make handmade noodles for sale, just in time for the popularity of green food, and the business was very good.

Dong Ping must be very difficult to eat a small stove in the barracks, if there is a dried noodles, as long as a small stove is built in the tent, you can cook noodles at any time, plus a handful of wild vegetables, a few pieces of sausage, it is definitely nutritious and delicious.

The more Dong Rong thought about it, the more excited she became, so she directly took the apron and tied it up and went to cook and make noodles in person. Wen Niang and Zizhu naturally wanted to stop when they saw it, but she couldn't resist the two of them begging and nagging, so she moved a stool and sat aside in desperation, guiding Zizhu to do her work.

Zizhu is really a clever girl, no matter what the process, as long as Dong Rong says it once, she will do it well. But even so, the first noodles were hung on the clothes pole in the morning of the second day. Zizhu was tired and hungry after being busy for half the night, but she was a smart woman, and she keenly saw the golden light from this inconspicuous little noodle. She insisted on moving a chair and sitting in the yard waiting for the noodles to dry, even when she took a nap, she couldn't wait to keep one eye open.

The midsummer sun is the best baker, and the naughty mountain breeze whines through, and the noodles are dried before the sun sets. Dong Rong, who woke up from a nap, was helped by the excited little girl to come close to check, although the noodles were a little unevenly thick, and many of them fell from the middle. But for the first prototype, this is a very good result.

Dong Rong personally cooked a bowl of shredded pork noodles, needless to say, the strong and smooth noodles won unanimous praise from everyone. Zizhu was so overjoyed that she couldn't bother to clean up her salute anymore, so she plunged into the stove and started to improve the noodle process again.

Dong Rong was not in a hurry to set off, and after thinking about it, he sent someone to find Yu Guisheng to go up the mountain and instructed him to make a carriage that was spacious and suitable for long walks. Yu Guisheng took over the task and invited the master and brother over, and worked together to figure it out.

In this way, the Four Seasons Garden is completely lively, and there are all kinds of aromas wafting out of the mountain courtyard every day, which provokes the guests to often catch the small servants and condemn the restaurant for hiding the delicious food and refusing to take it out for hospitality. The bottom of the mountain is also tinkling, and shavings are flying all over the sky. Mrs. Yu sat at the foot of the mountain and watched the chickens eat insects, sewing thick cotton pads in her hands, and planned to lay the car in the carriage when it was built, so that the owner would save bumps and discomfort when he was in a hurry.

Cao Pozi naturally got the news, originally everyone thought she was going to make trouble, but they didn't expect her to accept it very abnormally calmly. Second Sister Cao privately pulled the old lady to inquire, but she didn't want the old lady to wipe her tears, and said that when the old man Cao came back with the pillar, she was also so eager to escape from the village. So, the daughter-in-law went out for a walk, and she supported her with a hundred. The only requirement is to hope that the daughter-in-law will take good care of her body and go early and return early.

When Dong Rong heard this later, her eyes were also red, and she personally went to the treasury to pick out a set of excellent red gold noodles for Second Sister Cao to take back to the old lady. Mrs. Cao still wears it out to show off, but whenever she sees the villagers, she has to say how filial her daughter-in-law is, and she must see the envy and jealousy of the people's eyes and reddened before she feels relieved and goes home.

Everyone worked together for more than half a month, and the preparations for the northward journey were finally ready, and the Chang Sui sent by the Yang family was afraid that they had already arrived in the north at this time.

Steward Zhang borrowed six black-painted four-wheeled carriages out of nowhere, and even six coachmen who looked very capable. Everyone was not surprised when they saw it, after all, compared to those one-person-tall coral bonsai or a whole piece of mutton fat jade carved with a hundred sons playing jade, or even a five-hundred-year-old ginseng and a large pearl in a box, these are nothing. If one day, Steward Zhang pulls back a monster from the city, everyone is afraid that they will calmly cut a piece of pork and throw it in to feed it.

Zizhu was busy directing Fuzi and the others to load things into the carriage, reminding them from time to time not to remove the labels attached to the boxes or jars. The family prepared salted eggs, Songhua eggs, dried noodles, chili sauce, meat sausages, pickles, biscuits and snacks of various flavors, clothes and bedding, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, medicinal materials and other things for the second young master this time.

After Fuzi finished moving the box, wiped the sweat on his head and came to Zizhu, and asked with a smile, "Sister Zizhu, can our wife decide who will go out with the car?" ”

Without waiting for Zizhu to speak, Yun Rui had already slapped him on the shoulder, and said, "You just work hard, don't just ask about the master, be careful that Steward Zhang punishes you!" After saying that, he squeezed in front of his sister and said with a smile, "However, my stick technique has been practiced, and I must go with me to protect Mrs. Guard." Sister, you see Mrs. and tell me about it. ”

Zizhu couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, and he didn't have anything to do with his brother, who had lost a tendon in his brain since he was a child, so he replied helplessly, "I'll ask Steward Zhang in a while, this matter is decided by him, and Mrs. doesn't care." ”

Fuzi and Yun Rui don't care who decides, they just look forward to going out for a walk with their wife. Steward Zhang Xu also knew that the little ones were itching, and as soon as the carriage was loaded, everyone gathered to announce the list of entourage.

The orchard still has to open its doors for business, so naturally there is no shortage of manpower, so he can only take six people with him, including Fuzi, Yun Rui and four other children from the homeless group.

Fuzi and the others, who had fulfilled their wishes, cheered and rejoiced, and even the few small servants left behind were also depressed because they would get double the wages on the days when the master was away.

Dong Rong specially instructed Wen Niang and Zizhu to make two tables of good dishes this night, and invited Mr. Feng and Zhao Qingshan, Sister-in-law Liu and others to a banquet, and solemnly entrusted the family and orchard business to everyone.

In the early morning of the second day, before the dew on the blades of grass had dispersed, seven carriages drove out of the orchard gate, and soon went north on the official road paved with bluestone.

When a carriage sat Dong Rong, Zizhu and Wen Niang, Steward Zhang was not at ease, so he personally took a whip to drive the horse, and Qingfeng sat on the side of the carriage. In addition to the borrowed coachman, the six carriages in the back also sat in a small escort car, although from a distance this convoy is also vast, very spectacular, but carefully pondered that it is missing a very important guard. If you encounter a horse thief or a robber, you will not be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and you will not have the slightest power to protect yourself.

Zizhu discovered this early, and asked the master before leaving, not wanting the master to only smile and not speak, but later saw that she was really anxious and pointed in the direction of Kyoto.

Zizhu immediately put his mind at ease, although the child in Madame's womb may be surnamed Cao in the future, but it is really the blood of that person. With the importance of the lady, they would definitely not put their group in danger.

Xu is God also wants to help test Zizhu's speculation, and the convoy only left Qingxian on the first day, and stayed at an inn in a small town at dusk. The boxes piled up on the carriage were so eye-catching that many of the guests in the inn speculated. When they went on the road the next day and came to a forest, they were stopped by seven or eight thieves. The thieves all brandished shiny machetes in their hands and shouted to rob the rich and help the poor, and do the right thing for heaven.

Although Yun Rui and Fuzi are dancing and playing with sticks on weekdays, they practice lively and hard. But after all, they had not experienced actual combat, and when they suddenly encountered danger, they were stunned and finally turned out their weapons with their hands and feet, and those thieves were already more than a dozen steps before they could be killed in front of the car.

(Another watch, starving, finally able to eat.) Thank you for your support, and you must work hard to code more words. Come on! )R638
