Yun Yiyi took a big bite of the pancake. "Oh, it's delicious!" She squinted her eyes in delight.

It would be great if Zhang could cook such meals every day, with vegetables, porridge and meat, so delicious.

However, Yun Yiyi thought about it and realized it was impossible. The most time-consuming part was making the dough rise. Without enough time, the dough wouldn't rise.

If I were in a hurry to travel every day like before, I would be lucky to have a drink of hot water, let alone eat bread.

After fleeing for so long, Yun Yiyi also knows that there are many potential dangers, and keeping a low profile can avoid a lot of trouble.

So, occasionally having a meal like this, everyone feels very satisfied.

"Dad, do you still need a meeting tonight?"

Butcher Yun thought about it and decided that it probably wouldn't be open, but he said he would go to the village chief after dinner to see if there was any new information.

Zhang suddenly remembered, "Master, some strangers came to the woods near our village some time this afternoon. I don't know what they came for."

"Yes, Dad. There were a lot of people in the village at the time, and it was very noisy."

Butcher Yun was surprised. "Yiyi, didn't you go and take a look?"

Yun Yiyi held the bowl in one hand and the cake in the other, "Dad, I was tired and sleepy at the time, but I didn't have the energy to listen to everyone's quarrels."

Butcher Yun touched his chin embarrassedly, "Haha, I forgot Yiyi was the main force going up the mountain today, she must be tired."

"Don't worry, I'll go ask around later. But I think they're here to get information."

"Because when we were coming back from town, we met a carriage and they were talking about getting some information."

Yun Yiyi raised her head and asked, "Dad, did you really encounter him?"

"Yes, they did. They probably didn't expect that there would be other people passing by on the road at that time. So they were talking very loudly at the time and we all heard it."

"However, both sides were very fast and we soon separated."

"Dad, as long as the bandits from Qingfeng Village aren't here to gather information, anyone else coming here is a good thing for us."

"We refugees can't defeat the bandits in Qingfeng Village, but there will always be people who dislike the bandits in Qingfeng Village. When that happens, it will be a good opportunity for us to fish in troubled waters."

"But, Dad, please tell the village chief and the elders to take it easy and not spread everything. At a time like this, there's no shortage of people who would stab you in the back."

Butcher Yun nodded repeatedly, "Yiyi, don't worry about this. The village chief and the elders are all people with their own plans. If they don't want to say something, ordinary people can't get it out of them."

"That's good, Dad. I'll go to bed after dinner. Judging from today's situation, we can still go to the mountains for a day tomorrow."

"Yiyi, can we still go to the mountains tomorrow?"

Yun Yiyi looked at Brother Yun who was speaking, "Brother, there haven't been any major changes at the moment, so we can go to the mountain tomorrow. However, you should still follow me."

"I will take everyone to the mountains to avoid contact with people outside."

Zhang was also a little worried. "Yiyi, why don't you take a rest at home tomorrow? Everyone seems to be in a state of panic right now."

Yun Yiyi shook her head. "Mom, right now, we're just gathering information from each other, and nothing's been revealed. So, let's take advantage of this time to go to the mountains and find more food."

"But, Dad, Mom, you two should go home and pack up the food tomorrow. We can put that chestnut flour away after it's been dried in the sun for another day."

"I estimate that there will be more people outside asking for information tomorrow, so you must make sure there are people watching."

"On the one hand, I'm afraid of catching some people's eyes, and on the other hand, I'm afraid of someone stealing it."

Butcher Yun nodded in agreement. "Yes, Yiyi is right. We're worried about someone stealing our food. If the food is lost, we won't be able to find it anywhere."

"Okay, let's gather all our cars together tomorrow. I'll be cooking nearby so I can keep an eye on the outside."

"Mom, let Brother Zirui stay home and help you dry the chestnut flour tomorrow. If anyone comes, you should hurry up and put it away."

"Okay, let Zirui help me watch. That way I can focus on cooking."

"Brother Zirui, don't go up the mountain with me tomorrow. Just help with the work at home. This is more important than going up the mountain."

Xie Zirui said with a straight face, "Okay, Auntie, Yiyi, I'll help with the housework tomorrow. And if you don't take me with you, Big Brother and the others can go even further."

"Zi Rui is such a sensible and obedient child."

Xie Zirui's face turned red after hearing Zhang's straightforward praise.

"Dad, if you're going to mow the lawn tomorrow, you either have to go or go late. Two adults must be left at home."

"Don't worry, Yiyi, I'll go mow the lawn early tomorrow morning. I'll be home during the day."

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, let's go to the mountain early tomorrow. Let's set off before daybreak."

Zhang asked anxiously, "Yiyi, what are you going to eat in the morning?"

"Mom, I see there's still a lot of bread left from tonight. Let's take it to the mountain to eat tomorrow morning."

"Bread alone is fine, but you still need vegetables. I'll get up early tomorrow and cook for you."

Yun Yiyi nodded. "Mom, please bring us a jar of water, and put the vegetables in a small jar. We'll come back for lunch tomorrow."

"Okay, I understand. You'll all be ready before you leave tomorrow."

"Dad, we don't have much time left. You and Mom should hurry up and pickle the wild vegetables we dug up from the mountains."

"Let's pickle those vegetables that need to be pickled. Don't forget, when the weather gets cold, we won't have any vegetables to eat, so we'll have to rely on the vegetables we pickle now."

Zhang became anxious when she heard this. "Yes, it's freezing and snowy, how can we have any vegetables? We can only rely on the pickled vegetables now."

"Wife, I bought the jars you asked for. They're behind the cornmeal. There are big and small ones, and I think they can pickle a lot of vegetables. Oh, and the salt I bought is also in the jars."

Zhang smiled. "Okay, after dinner, you and I will go pickle wild celery. Boss, would you like to eat wild celery pickles or wild celery kimchi?"

Before Yun the Butcher could answer, the others started talking.

"Mom, I want to eat wild celery pickles. They are very fragrant and delicious when cooked."

"Mom, I think wild celery kimchi would be delicious too."

"Mom, how about you do a little of both?"

Zhang listened to everyone's words and said, "Okay, I'll make both. After all, you picked so much wild celery, it's more than enough to eat."

Yun the butcher echoed Zhang's words, "I think everything my daughter-in-law cooks is delicious. I'm sure the children think so too."

"Dad, you are right." Brother Yun San said loudly.
