Most of the things sent by Deqing Restaurant are dry goods, sun-dried fungus, various mushrooms, dried shrimp, dried fish, and even a lot of seasonings, such as pepper, pepper, fennel, cinnamon, etc., as well as a lot of wolfberry, longan, etc. Due to the hot weather, they only delivered two boxes of snacks that had just been made this morning.

Lu Yingfang summoned Hao Ye's family and asked them to register and estimate the price, so that they knew it in their hearts, and they would repay the favor in the future.

Zhao leaned over: "Mother, it seems that the eldest princess must have given Zeng Dang a lot of benefits!" ”

Sun had just finished reading the family's letter, and her father scolded her for not telling the family about ice making, and if the Sun family knew the method of ice making, they would definitely be able to go to the next level. Sun was so angry that he almost tore the letter. The mother-in-law hid the recipe, not only took her dowry, but even scattered the family property! She was so angry that she was about to vomit blood, and now her family blamed her.

Only the Qian family also sent a coachman and a mother-in-law, Aunt Gu, to come over, and after getting Lu Yingfang's consent, Aunt Gu will also follow her to Youzhou.

Zhao's father was a third-rank official, Sun's father was the third son of the Chengyang Marquis Mansion, and Qian's father was a fourth-rank official. Now it seems that the Qian family loves her daughter the most.

The Qian family sent a very large carriage, which was stuffed to the brim. The coachman's name is Zhuzi, and at first glance he is a very capable middle-aged man, and Aunt Gu must also be a capable person.

Zhao and Sun sent two boxes of things, but the coachman drove away in the carriage after unloading the goods, which made Zhao and Sun very faceless. Unexpectedly, at this juncture, the Qian family came out and loved their daughter so much.

On the third day, everyone got up early and set out.

On the official road on the outskirts of the capital, they stood guard on the side of the road, and soon the army carrying grain came.

This time, the soldiers escorted 500,000 pieces of grain, long grain carts, horse-drawn carts, and ox carts, except for some of the soldiers who were well-equipped, the rest of the soldiers were dressed in shabby clothes, and there were many people with sad faces. Lu Yingfang looked at the tattered straw sandals under the feet of the people, and couldn't help complaining: "When will they be able to get to Heyuanzhou with such equipment?" ”

Heyuanzhou is a city, and without Heyuanzhou, all the landforms will change with it, and the climate will become very different.

Lv Yingfang: System, at this speed, how long will it take to reach Heyuanzhou? What's the climate like over there?

——According to the Mongolian horse entry in the "Chinese Horse and Donkey Breeds", the daily journey of the horse-drawn grain cart will definitely not exceed 50 kilometers (this is when the road conditions are good + everything is going well). And there were no Mongolian horses in this era.

That means it takes ten days to walk? It was already very hot early in the morning, and by noon in the carriage, wouldn't it be like a steamer? Isn't the groom tanned as a black man?

- Dear, you won't be able to reach Heyuanzhou for more than ten days, you look at those ox carts, it will take you about a month to enter the boundary of Heyuanzhou. It will be possible to reach Youzhou in about two months.

Lu Yingfang: No! Then we might as well go on our own!

- Dear, if you don't follow the army's escort grain truck, whether you go south or north, there will be people staring at you! After all, everyone thinks you're going to keep some possessions.

Lu Yingfang came from the heart, okay! Safety first, safety first.

In fact, there are two official roads to Heyuanzhou, one of which is a detour, which will pass through many villages and cities, and ordinary people and officials like to take this road. The other is a short road, but it passes deep into the mountains, there are wild beasts, and there are few villages and few people.

And the army escorting the grain must have taken a shortcut, and it is impossible for them to enter the city with a pile of grain anyway.

So for Lu Yingfang, there are joys and sorrows. If you follow the big army, it will naturally be slow, but it is better to be safe. The sad thing is that the road will be harder, even if there is no inn for rest, only in the open air, adults are fine, but I am afraid that children are easy to get sick.

Although Zeng Ge Lao is a civil servant, Zeng Yong likes martial arts and has taken the road of martial arts. The general who held the grain was Zeng Mao, who was a side branch of the Zeng family, so he was very polite to Lu Yingfang as soon as he saw him.

Zeng Mao is about thirty-four years old, with a Chinese face, a tall figure, and a loud voice. He had already come first on horseback.

"Old lady, why don't you go first? You're following behind, and there's a lot of clutter, and it's not convenient. "Zeng Mao is a careful person.

Lu Yingfang instantly understood in an instant, if it was just daily garbage, those people would defecate at will. They have many female dependents, and it is really inconvenient to follow behind.

If you are walking in front, pay attention to your speed and do not distance yourself, it is also safe. It's quite a kind of fox and fake tiger power.

So, their group immediately hurried away, and quickly pulled away a distance, and the team escorting grain and grass had not yet reached the position of Zhuangzi.

Before leaving the capital, the road was relatively smooth, although the earthquake resistance function of the carriage was not good, Lu Yingfang was full of thoughts and did not pay attention to it.

Now the road conditions on this official road are not very good, and the safe and smooth departure from Beijing has made her heart relax a little, and then she realized that the carriage ride is really bumpy!

It wasn't until they shook off the army escorting the grain for a while, and the speed of the carriage slowed down, that she felt "finally not dizzy".

Lv Yingfang: System, how many merits do we have?

- Dear, you bought a pound of saltpeter, a pound of soy sauce, "The Making of Traditional Chinese Folk Sauce", and the manufacturing drawings of a small stove in the wild and spent a total of 400 merit points, and there are still 190 merit points, do you want to shop now?

Lu Yingfang is a food lover in the 21st century, so cakes, Dongpo meat and other dishes don't need to be purchased from the system. This saves a lot of merit.

Lv Yingfang: If you don't buy it for the time being, it will be difficult to accumulate merit points along the way, so it's better to save a little. It's been a long road, and who knows what will happen?

Qiu Da rode his horse from behind and came to Lu Yingfang's carriage: "Old lady, the guards next to General Zeng have sent a message that they will rest for two quarters of an hour and will send the prepared dry food cakes down. It will not be buried in the pot until the time of cooking. ”

The ancients ate two meals a day, usually at 9 o'clock in the morning (巳时) and around 4 o'clock in the afternoon (Shen time). Now General Zeng is watching the slow darkness in summer, so he can walk for a while before resting and cooking on the spot.

When the time came, they all rested on the spot. Ye Zhuangtou asked the servants to get up in the middle of the night to make steamed buns and multigrain cakes, so that they could eat on the road.

The army ordered to rest in place, and General Zeng ate with several of his officers. One of the low-ranking officers named Zheng Wu said: "It's really hot, I heard that Heyuanzhou has been wearing cotton clothes at this time in the past. ”

Another officer named Xing Guan glanced ahead: "I heard that Old Lady Lan can make ice, if we can also use ice ......"
