He took a deep breath and walked towards the dilapidated courtyard. As he reached the door, the people in the courtyard looked at him warily.

The gentleman's eyes passed over the crowd and fell on Su Yin who was concentrating on barbecuing in the back.

Su Yin raised her head and her eyes met the other person's.

"Is it convenient?"

Su Yin thought that the other party's identity was not simple and nodded.

She wanted to know more about this person's purpose in coming to them.

The gentleman scholar walked straight to Su Yin's side and his eyes fell on the barbecue in her hand.

Su Yin noticed it and asked tentatively, "Would you like some?"

The gentleman smiled and said, "Okay."

The elegant scholar smelled it first and found the fragrance very unique. He put it in his mouth and took a sip and found it tasted even better.

I finished eating two skewers of rabbit meat, but the taste is still lingering in my mouth.

The gentleman looked at the rabbit in her hand again.

It just so happened that this batch of rabbit meat was cooked, so we started to divide it one by one.

The gentleman's eyes followed the movements of her hands, from left to right, two skewers for each person, and after the fat man, it was his turn.

She had exactly four strings in her hand, and she could get two from him.

"Hahaha, I don't want the next batch, give me the rest." Master Wan San took all the remaining skewers from Su Yin with a smile.

Sven-Shenzhen scholar: "..."

He just watched the two skewers of meat fly away.

Su Yin noticed his gaze and wondered, could this guy be here to eat for free?

"Um...what can I do for you?"

The elegant scholar looked away with some regret, "Young lady, your cooking skills are quite good. My family members have poor spleen and stomach, and have no appetite. But after smelling your fragrance, I feel a little hungry. I want to buy some skewers from you, is it convenient for you?"

Family = yourself!

Su Yin understood this routine.

"Of course you can, but this is a barbecue made with an exclusive secret recipe, so it's a bit expensive." Su Yin asked tentatively.

The gentleman took out a silver coin from his pocket and asked, "Is that enough?"

When everyone saw the silver ingot, their eyes widened. The silver was at least five taels.

Mr. Wan San was not surprised, but a little surprised by Su Yin's action.

After knowing that the other party was most likely a member of the Nangong family, he did not try to curry favor with him, but instead charged a high price.

As long as a normal person comes, we will give him the gift for free and make friends with him.

Just in case it comes in handy in the future!

Trading worthless rabbit meat for a favor from a descendant of the Nangong family is definitely a good deal.

Su Yin took the silver with a smile, "This batch and the next batch are all yours."

While waiting for food, Su Yin asked casually, "Sir, what's your name?"

"My surname is Nan, and my name is Jingzhi."

"South?"

"South of the four directions."

Nangong also has Nan.

There aren't so many coincidences in the world.

It seems that the young master Nan Jingzhi in front of him should be called Nangong Jingzhi, or Nangong**.

"Oh." Su Yin nodded continuously, then smiled and praised, "What a unique surname. The name Gongzi sounds even better."

Before he could ask, Su Yin excitedly introduced herself, "My name is Su Yin."

"Miss Su's name is nice, too."

After the barbecue in her hand was cooked, Su Yin handed it to the other party and took a pancake from the side.

"It tastes better if you put the meat in a pancake."

Nan Jingzhi glanced at the pancake in her hand, then looked at her again, hesitated for two seconds, took the pancake from her hand, wrapped the meat in the way she said, and took a light bite. The taste was really good, different from simply eating barbecue.

The pancakes not only reduce the greasiness of the meat, but also wrap up the wheat aroma of the pancake.

This way of eating is really good.

Nan Jingzhi ate a pancake and was thinking about ordering a second one when a pancake was handed to him. He looked at the face with the bright smile, his eyes condensed slightly, and then he looked away calmly.

"These two pancakes are for you. No money is required."

Nan Jingzhi took it with a smile.

I ate more than twenty skewers of barbecue and three flatbreads in one go and was very full.

This is the first time I have eaten so comfortably since leaving Yuzhou.

Nan Jingzhi stood up to say goodbye, and Su Yin did not try to keep him.

From beginning to end, Su Yin treated Nan Jingzhi as if he were an ordinary traveler begging for food.

As soon as Nan Jing left, Master Wan San came up to her and gave her a thumbs up, "Girl, you are really awesome."

Don't try to curry favor with them, and don't ask questions deliberately. Just treat it with a casual inquiring attitude.

If you try to curry favor with them, you will end up being inferior.

There were two fires burning in the dilapidated courtyard, one inside the house and one outside.

Mugwort was put into the fire in the house and burned. The smell of mugwort filled the house and drove away mosquitoes. Three straw mats were spread out, and several children were lying in the house and sleeping soundly. Su's mother, Zhou's grandmother, and Aunt Xu were taking care of the children.

Outside the house, everyone gathered.

"You should have noticed that those who fled from Yuzhou with quick feet have already met us. So, I want to integrate the resources of several families to speed up our progress."

"What do you think? Tell us and we're all listening." Butcher Yang said.

"Seven families and three animals. In fact, we can easily free up half a car to accommodate the children."

“We can also subdivide the items that have been put away.”

"For example, pots, pans, and buckets are placed on one carriage. Food and other things are placed on another carriage. Lighter items are placed on a cart. This way, the people pulling and pushing the cart can save a lot of effort. Another cart is used to place valuables and consignors. As for gold and silver, everyone carries them on their backs."

"The advantage of doing this is that when we encounter danger, we can put the less important carts on the outside and put the important food and water in the center. In this way, even if someone rushes past us, they won't be able to get the core things for a while."

"That's roughly what I mean. We can all discuss how to properly classify and sort them."

Yang Dashan said, "I think it's okay."

"That's fine with me."

"This method is feasible, but we need to put the items in order. We can't put all of the same type of things in one car. It would be dangerous if something happened to the car." Yang Dahe said.

Su Yin nodded in agreement. It was not that she had not thought about it, but she just didn't want one person to think about everything comprehensively. She couldn't let them develop the habit of relying entirely on themselves, she had to let them think and get involved.

Then others began to express their opinions.

Madam Xu, who had rarely spoken, also expressed her thoughts.

"Each of us can sew a few pockets in our clothes to put some valuables in. Even if we are separated by the crowd, we will still have money with us."

Su Baozhu's eyes lit up, "Sister Xu, this is a good suggestion."
