Chapter 391 No matter who is in trouble, Shen Qing must not be in trouble

Shen Qing was counting the remaining rice dumplings.

There are 111 red date and candied date dumplings and 1217 pork belly dumplings.

There were only two adults at home, Jiang Xiangnan and Jiang Shui. Although zongzi were delicious, there was no need to eat them three times a day. Four or five of them were enough for breakfast.

Shen Qing left five days' worth of food for the two of them. In this weather, they kept it in well water, so it wouldn't go bad in five days.

There were a total of forty people on this trip - the road from Jincheng to the capital was flat, without the dangers of mountains and hills, nor the dangerous places where people could become bandits. They had already gone there once to explore the route, so the number of people this time was less than the last time and compared to the future trips to Chenzhou.

Another reason is that the main purpose of going to the capital this time is to choose a shop. The time spent in the capital will inevitably be long. Not to mention the money spent on accommodation, food, drink, and defecation for a large number of people, the village and workshops are short of many strong men to work. Therefore, as many as possible should be stayed in the village.

Forty people, get up early to cook a few pots of porridge, and add two solid rice dumplings. They will not feel hungry no matter how busy they are in the morning. The remaining two hundred or so rice dumplings are basically effortless to make for breakfast in the first three to five days of the trip.

Guan Lijiangyu has prepared and stored various food and necessary items these days.

When Carpenter Guan heard that his daughter was going on a long journey, he worked hard for several days to make a few thin and light wooden basins and sent them over.

We set out on the sixth day of May. It was dawn and the morning mist was still lingering, making the air a little chilly. The whole village was in motion.

All other things were loaded into the carriage early, only the food was moved in early in the morning.

The three brothers Lei Lao Da carried a large basket of things on their backs and followed Liu Cuihua into the yard happily.

Shen Qing looked at the piles of stuff behind the three people and laughed: "Cuihua, you didn't empty out all your family assets, did you?"

The straw mats, mattresses and thin quilts they needed to bring were delivered early, including those they needed and those they didn't. Since they decided to go, the two of them had sent no one knew how many of them there were. They didn't expect that there would be some unexpected things that needed to be delivered this morning.

Liu Cuihua waved her hand and said casually: "It's because of my two brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law. They heard that the head of the family and I were going on a long journey, and they were worried that we would go hungry on the long journey.

Look, not only is my family's money gone, but I'm afraid both their families' bacon, dried meat, and preserved meats have all been gone as well!"

Shen Qing: .....So it wasn’t just one house that was emptied out, but three!

The dark and simple faces of Lei Er and Lei San flushed, and they scratched their heads in embarrassment: "No, I didn't empty my pockets. I'll just give you some worthless game jerky to save you from spending money on food on the way."

"It's homemade, I don't know if you'll get used to it, but I'll just eat it. At least it fills my stomach."

Shen Qing took the backpack and saw that it was filled with various game. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the number.

She asked hurriedly, "We can't hunt now. You brought so much here. What will we eat at home?"

"Well, is there anything to eat at home? We have some dried meat left, and if you feel hungry, you can buy some oil residue at the soap workshop. Don't worry about us." Lei Laoer comforted.

"Yes, there are still a lot of eggs at home, and there hasn't been any physically demanding work recently. We have eggs and noodles to eat, and we don't have to eat meat." Lei Lao San also followed.

They were not worried about their eldest brother and their old man going to the mountains to hunt, but it was their eldest sister-in-law's first time going on a long journey, and the one at home was even more worried than them, fearing that she would go hungry.

Liu Cuihua smiled and said, "I also tried to pull it for a long time this morning, but I really couldn't pull it off. Besides, they were just being nice. They knew I wouldn't dare delay my departure, so they chose to send it here early today.

Forget it, let’s just eat peacefully. No matter what, it’s their thoughtfulness.”

With so much food delivered at once, it's definitely not just for the three of them. There must be a portion for Shen Qing and the others as well.

The two brothers-in-law and the sisters-in-law all knew how good Shen Qing was to them and the favors he had received. They were just not good at expressing themselves. But no matter how much they said, it would not be as good as the real thing!

Shen Qing responded with a "OK".

When you are away from home, smoked meat is really important, especially when the weather gets hot. Fresh meat is difficult to preserve and you may not be able to get into the city for three or five days. It is best to have dried meat to supplement your nutrition.

She thought that if she found any new and interesting things when she went to the capital, she would bring some back to the two families. It would be good for both sides.

*

This was not his first trip, not even his first trip to the capital, but the farewell team was the most organized!

All the old and young people in the village were present. Several old women held Shen Qing's hands, tears rolling down their cheeks.

"It's okay, it will take at most a month. If everything goes well, you'll be back at the end of the month. Time flies." Shen Qing comforted him.

Granny Qin wiped away her tears and choked up, saying, "Life goes by so quickly when it's good. These good days are all thanks to you. Now that you're out, I don't know who to talk to."

She warned, "You are the backbone of our village. You must take good care of yourself when you are out there. If you encounter any danger, don't go up, let Dazhu go!"

Qin Dazhu:...You are truly my mother.

However, he assured: "Don't worry, Mom, I will definitely rush to the front!"

No matter who is in trouble, Shen Qing must not be in trouble.

To put it bluntly, even if he died, the lives of the old and young in his family would not be affected. The elderly would be taken care of and the young would have someone to rely on. They would not even have to miss out on eating meat, and their children's marriage would not be a problem in the future.

But if something happens to Shen Qing, the whole village and even their Qin family will be affected, and they might have to go back to the days of Qili Village!

Who would have imagined a life of eating wild vegetables and corn porridge, living in a thatched hut, and not having enough clothes to wear?

I never think about it again!

Others who were out also gave their assurances.

They are all married with wives and children. No matter for whom, they cannot let anything happen to their aunt!

Shen Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and interrupted, "Everyone is important. No one is more important than anyone else. We want everyone to be there. If we really meet an enemy, then everyone should be fearless and work together to repel the enemy!"

The reason she dared to bring fewer people with her was because she had a mall, and the mall had weapons available, which were more lethal than a team of sixty people.

The mall is her greatest confidence.

Of course, the road to the capital is completely different from the road to Chenzhou in terms of safety, which is also the main reason why the team can have fewer people.

"good!"

Amidst the bustle, Zhao Mingyue stepped forward and asked, "I'll leave the candy business to you."

Although Qingshan and Daxi also went, Qingshan was mainly the team leader. He was good at knowing the way and planning the route, but he was completely incompetent at distributing milk candies.

Daxi is even more taciturn and is only good at doing physical work. Asking him to sell goods is almost like asking him to die.

The two previous trips were relying on Xiangbei, but this time Shen Qing went. Whether it was Xiangbei or Shen Qing, they would have to worry about their sugar factory.
