It seems that no matter where you are, family and home are always your greatest concerns.
Bai Manshan's gaze fell on Fan Dazhu and Fan Erzhu, who were dragging their feet at the back of the group. The two of them had been complaining the most along the way.
However, he didn't dare to speak loudly, only muttering quietly, and pretended not to hear.
When a team gets bigger and there are more people, it's normal to have a few bad ones.
Normally, it only takes a day and a half to walk from Guangning Prefecture to Nanning Prefecture, but after the flood, the road is not easy to travel. In addition, the goods being transported are heavy, so Bai Manshan's itinerary is not rushed, with two days for each way.
Under the blazing sun, both the cart pullers and the guards were soaked in sweat.
Upon reaching an open space, Bai Manshan called out, "It's hot. Let's rest here for an hour, fetch water, and cook lunch!"
Upon hearing that it was time to rest, the men quickly parked their vehicles in the open space and happily began preparing their food.
After Fan Jin finalized the selection, they discussed and agreed that familiar people would be grouped together, with each person responsible for fetching water, starting a fire, washing dishes, and so on. With a plan in place, things proceeded smoothly according to the plan.
The food for Butcher Hu, Hu Wenhua, Bai Manshan, and the men Bai Manshan brought was all prepared by Shui Qing, so it was naturally a set meal.
There were many young men, while older men like Butcher Hu and Hong Daniu didn't need to lift a finger; they could simply wait in the shade, fanning themselves and waiting to eat.
Bai Manshan lay sprawled on the tree root, leaning against the trunk, his tongue lolling out as he panted heavily.
He was the only one who didn't pull the cart and walked the whole way, but he looked the most tired person in the group at that moment, as if he had done all the work for the whole group by himself.
However, everyone could understand that it was already quite good for the masters of wealthy families to be able to walk themselves, let alone compare to them, the farmers.
Bai Manshan looked at Butcher Hu, Hong Daniu, and others who were much older than him and were still talking about crops, floods, and world affairs, while he himself was struggling to breathe, and felt a little ashamed.
Looking at the men over there, carrying hundreds of kilograms of fuel all morning, fetching water, starting fires, and cooking, I felt even more ashamed.
This shame turned into appetite during lunch, and I devoured three large bowls of food in one go!
Well, although he didn't do much, he ate a lot.
Everyone was stunned.
Bai Manshan finally remembered to save face, pointing to the rice bowl and saying with certainty, "It's not that I can eat a lot, it's just that Sister Shuiqing prepared such good food!"
Instead of an unexpected rebuttal, there was only a chorus of heavy agreement: "Yes, my sister prepared such a lavish feast."
"This food doesn't seem like something you'd eat on the road! It's even better than what we eat at home!"
"If I could eat like this every time I was on the road, I would rather be on the road every day."
Dozens of tea eggs, egg pancakes, crispy and fragrant cornbread, a stack of washed cucumbers, fried noodles...
The fried noodles are made with wheat flour and contain a lot of crushed peanuts and sesame seeds. They come in both sweet and savory varieties. They smell delicious when you pour hot water over them. No wonder even someone as used to delicacies as Mr. Bai can eat three big bowls of them!
In hot weather, egg pancakes don't keep well and need to be eaten by noon. A thick egg pancake paired with fried noodle soup is incredibly satisfying, with a bite of pancake and a bite of soup.
The employer really put their heart into it.
