The Zhang family looked vigilantly at the old man who was blocking the way in front of them.
The old man bowed to them and said, "Don't be offended, old man. I have something to ask you. Would you be willing to spend some time with me?"
Old man Zhang bowed to the old man and asked, "What can I do for you?"
"I see that you are all in a hurry and have not rested even until dark. You are rushing forward. Is there anything wrong behind? I hope you can let me know. Thank you very much." The old man asked respectfully and politely, with a very sincere attitude.
"You misunderstood. Our team is in the front, but the wheel broke on the road, which delayed us for some time. Now we have to hurry over and meet up with them." Old man Zhang said with a smile.
"I see. Excuse me."
The old man made way, and the Zhang family did not dare to stop and hurried on their way.
Not long after they left, Nan Jingzhi and his group also hurried on their way.
The two groups of people marched forward one after the other under the cover of darkness, which caused the refugees who were resting in the original place to murmur in their hearts.
I just stopped the Zhang family's team and watched Nan Jingzhi's team leave in a hurry.
The old man could not help but stop the last carriage driver and said, "Excuse me, young man. I would like to ask you something. It is already dark and not suitable for traveling. Why are you in such a hurry? Is there something wrong in the back?"
The man who was stopped frowned slightly. He was still in a hurry. Seeing that the other party was not asking about anything important, he said without thinking: "We have a team of people walking ahead. We were delayed in the county town. Now we have to rush over to meet them. Old man, I am in a hurry to get on the road, so I won't say more to you."
Seeing that he was anxious, the old man nodded and made way.
As soon as the other person left, the smile on the old man's face disappeared and his expression became heavy.
"Li Zheng, what's going on?"
"Their words are the same as those of the previous family." The head of the village said in a deep voice.
No one else paid any attention to it. “I think they are all chasing their own large group. There shouldn’t be any problem.”
The old man shook his head. "It's not that simple. One may be a coincidence, but two are still coincidences. It's too unusual."
"Dad, did something really happen back there?"
The old man was unsure, "I don't know either, but we can't stay here. Tell the people in the village to pack up and continue on our way."
"Okay." The old man's son did not dare to delay.
If their father had not been alert and organized the villagers to leave in advance, they would probably have died at the hands of the mob.
Now that my father said so, there must be a reason for it.
When the people in Shangjia Village heard that it was the order from the head of the village, they cooperated well and started to pack up their things.
The huge team left and followed the team in front.
The other scattered teams began to murmur when they saw three groups of people traveling overnight.
"This is the third batch of people traveling at night."
"Boss, did something happen back there?"
The man made a decision and said, "Let's go, we will continue on our journey."
"good."
As more and more people followed suit, the refugees who had already set up camp to rest could no longer sit still and started to pack up their bags and set off at night.
When everyone is walking, you should follow too. In short, just follow the group and you will never go wrong.
Everyone held this mentality, resulting in clusters of flames lighting up the official road.
This was something that neither the Zhang family nor Nan Jingzhi had expected.
On the other side, Suyin's seven families, plus Dr. Li's family, a total of eight families, have set up camp in the tea shed.
The animals were tied to trees on one side and the carriages were placed on the side.
Su Yin was tidying up her nest for the night. She put the cabinet and stool to one side and stacked her luggage on top, leaving a space for one person.
She took out the mugwort from the package and lit it. The smoke from the mugwort billowed up and filled the entire carriage. When it was almost done, Su Yin took out the mugwort and lowered the curtain.
Su Baozhu had already washed the meat and bones and was waiting for the chef Su Yin to cook.
"Yinyin, everything is ready."
“Here I come.”
Su Yin put the mugwort into the fire, and the scent of the mugwort filled the air, driving away many mosquitoes.
After days of traveling and sleeping outdoors, even the strongest body will be prone to illness, so it is necessary to replenish the body. Otherwise, you will overdraw your body's capital and end up suffering in the future.
There are no radishes in this season. If there were radishes, you could make radish bone soup.
Su Yin got some dried mushrooms from her uncle. They picked them from the mountains when they had free time, dried them, and prepared to sell them in the town.
This happened before they had time to sell.
Now I get to eat it myself.
The wild mushrooms were already soaked. Su Yin put the bones and wild mushrooms in a clay pot and stewed them. She told Su Su Baozhu, "Auntie, wait until the steam comes out, then simmer over low heat."
"good."
Su Yin divided the meat into two portions. One portion was fresh and was eaten tonight. The other portion was marinated and would be consumed in the next two days. If it was left for too long, the meat would deteriorate.
There was no chili pepper in the Yong Dynasty, but there was wasabi. Wasabi is what people often call a medium-spicy flavor.
Since Su Yin couldn’t make stir-fried pork with green peppers, she could only make another simple and nutritious dish: steamed meat.
This steamed meat recipe is a dish that Suyin's mother often made in another world. When she was a child, her family was poor, and when she was sick, she would make this dish to nourish her.
Chop the meat into minced meat, adding a little water and a little salt several times during the chopping process. After the meat is fully chopped into a paste, put it in a bowl aside.
Boil water in a pot. When the water is hot, put the meat into the pot. Wait until the meat is thoroughly cooked before removing it from the pot.
If conditions permit, you can add cooking wine to remove the fishy smell when chopping the meat, and sprinkle some chopped green onions when it is out of the pot. No need to add MSG throughout the process, the natural flavor of the meat is enough.
The meal tonight is very sumptuous. Mr. Wan San, who is waiting on the side, can no longer wait and is eagerly waiting for the meal to start.
Today’s dinner was sumptuous not only for Su Yin’s family, but also for the other families.
The reason was simple: they had just been to the city to do some shopping. The adults would buy some good things to replenish the family.
The only ones who were struggling to eat were Doctor Li's family. Five taels of silver might seem like a lot, but in fact, it was not enough to buy things.
After entering the city in the morning, the fisherman's wife bought the cheapest aged rice bran, as well as some salt, coarse cloth and other necessities. As for Doctor Li, he treated patients and earned some money.
All they had to eat tonight was inedible rice bran.
It is a combination of broken rice and rice husks. It will irritate your throat if you eat too much.
Su Yin took a bowl, scooped a bowl of wild mushroom bone soup and passed it over.
Doctor Li looked at the bone soup and wanted to refuse, but reality made it impossible for him to do so. He could only thank her repeatedly and remember her kindness in his heart.
