Chapter 20 Reminder
Chen Wenlan knew that she could not hide anything from her mother.
Then he spoke frankly.
"Mother, Si Ting is about the same age as the Crown Prince's grandson, and Si Yu is about the same age as the Prince of Duan's Mansion. The next city we will visit will pass by the Crown Princess's family's property.
The Crown Prince and the Crown Prince will be out and about and passing by there. After all, the King of Qin has been the King of Qin for many years. As long as he's alive, the Crown Prince won't be at ease. It all depends on what the Chen family chooses this time."
Upon hearing this, Chen Fang hurriedly spoke.
"What other choice is there? Of course we will listen to you. After all, you are Siyu Siting's aunt, and you can't harm them. Don't worry, if there is anything you need us to do, we will do it."
Old Madam Chen spoke thoughtfully.
"We understand. Tell the people behind you. The Chen family will consider it carefully."
Chen Wenlan's face lit up when he heard this.
"Okay, mother, don't worry. Your daughter will definitely find a way to bring the Chen family back."
As he said this, he picked up some food for Old Madam Chen.
"Come, mother, eat some food first. Tomorrow I will arrange some escorts so that you can have less suffering along the way."
A night passed.
Early in the morning, Su Hanchu woke up in Jun Moye's arms. This was the first time they slept in the same bed and hugged each other.
Ping'er and Cui's mother slept on the floor.
Jun Moye noticed that she was awake and opened his eyes.
"woke up?"
Su Hanchu nodded.
"Well, we bought too many things yesterday, so we need to prepare in advance."
Ping'er and the others on the ground also woke up.
Su Hanchu sat up and looked at them.
"I'm going to buy some food. You guys pack up your things and tie up the quilts we brought back yesterday. Each of you can carry some. Spread out so everyone can feel more relaxed."
Jun Moye also went out to find a store and found a way to fill some hot water in the water bag.
Soon Jun Linfeng and others next door woke up. After eating two meat buns, they heard the voice of the messenger outside.
"Everyone is out and getting ready to go."
Liu Shan carried the basket filled with pots, pans, and utensils for cooking, while Mother Cui, Liu Ling, and Sui'er also carried a quilt each.
Ping'er was still carrying Su Hanchu's bag.
Jun Moye held Su Hanchu's hand. After spending these days together, the distance between them had shortened and they seemed to be getting closer and closer.
Perhaps because of the shopping in this town, there were fewer fights over food on the rest of the journey.
However, every time they had a break, Chuntao and Qiukui would stay not far from Jun's house with their children.
Su Hanchu still had a dull stomachache, but with Jun Moye considerately carrying her on his back from time to time, it was bearable.
The weather in winter is often cloudy, and Su Hanchu is worried about rain, especially now that the Jun family has brought a quilt.
Everyone camped again that day. When Su Hanchu saw a few wild palm trees, he decisively chose the Jun family's resting place there.
Aunt Li and Aunt Qian took the children to collect firewood and watch over things around, while Su Hanchu and Jun Moye took bows and arrows and went out to look for food together.
Jun Linfeng and Manager Liu also carried buckets to find water.
As soon as they entered the woods, Su Hanchu agreed on the meeting place with Jun Moye, and then they went to look for food separately.
Although Jun Moye refused to separate, Su Hanchu insisted, saying, "What a joke! If they don't separate, how can I get the things out of the space?"
After walking for a while and making sure that there was no one around, Su Hanchu opened the cloth bag in his hand. He asked Aunt Li to help him do this.
Su Hanchu squatted in the deep grass.
He took out some mushrooms from the space, some yam, and some chestnuts. After thinking for a while, he took out a few eggs. At worst, he could just say that they were pheasant eggs he picked up.
In order to avoid suspicion, the yam was covered with soil.
Then he walked slowly towards the agreed gathering place.
But suddenly I found that there were many black things on a dead tree.
It was getting dark, and Su Hanchu walked forward and picked one to confirm. Isn't this wood ear?
He hurriedly picked them all with a smile. There were quite a lot of them. There were already quite a few things in the cloth bag. After putting in a few big flowers, there was no more room. Su Hanchu decisively threw all the remaining ones into the space.
When he arrived at the place where he had agreed to meet Jun Moye, he sat down and waited.
Soon Jun Moye came over carrying a pheasant.
"Jun Moye, you caught a pheasant. That's amazing! I just happened to pick some mushrooms and dug up some Chinese yam. Let's cook them together later. We can have another good meal tonight."
Jun Moye smiled and took the cloth bag from her hand.
"Come and hold it for me. Why are there so many? It's a bit heavy. Let's walk together from now on. Let me hold the heavy ones."
Su Hanchu smiled and spoke when he heard this.
"We came out to find food. If we walk together, we can only find one portion. If we separate, we can find two portions."
When the two men came back, the fire was already lit and the buckets and basins were full of water.
Su Hanchu began to arrange the work.
"Jun Moye, take the pheasant to Manager Liu to deal with it, and then come over and help me cut this rice dumpling."
Jun Moye handed the pheasant to Manager Liu.
Walk to Su Hanchu.
Su Hanchu took out a dagger and demonstrated how to cut off a whole piece of rice dumpling while speaking.
"Just cut it off in one piece like this. I'll teach Ping'er and the others how to make straw raincoats later. It feels like it might rain or even snow in this weather."
Jun Moye didn't understand what she was talking about, but he cut it anyway as she asked.
Su Hanchu glanced at the two sisters Chuntao who were sitting under a tree in the distance, and picked up a piece of wood ear and gave it to Ping'er.
"Go tell them that this is edible. It grows on some dead trees. They can go see if they can find it."
Ping'er took the mushroom, nodded, and walked towards Chuntao.
After Manager Liu cleaned the pheasant and brought it over, Mother Cui also washed the yam, mushrooms and black fungus and brought them back.
Su Hanchu and Manager Liu cut the pheasant into pieces, and Su Hanchu blanched them.
Ask Cui's mother to boil water again, then pour in the mushrooms and add seasonings. Wait until the mushroom soup is cooked and fragrant before putting the chicken in. A pheasant weighs only a little over one pound, and there is not much meat, but it is also meat. Add in various vegetables and cook a full pot.
Su Hanchu took a large bowl of soup and handed it to You Chatou.
"Captain You, today we only found some wild mushrooms, Chinese yam and other wild vegetables. You can try them."
You Cha Tou directly signaled a bailiff to take out a small basin and pour out the food.
He handed the bowl of soup to Su Hanchu and gave him a reminder.
"Miss Su, although you are a woman, you are very smooth in your dealings with others, and you have some abilities that others don't have. However, you are too resolute in handling some things. There is still a long way to go. Miss Su, when you don't have enough chips, it is better to restrain your edge."
