Chapter 386 Give the Ancients a Little Shock
Seeing her stop, Gu Yanchen immediately said: "I'll ask someone to come and move in."
"Don't rush to take it. I think the food is not enough. I want to take out some more."
"Can the meals be taken out ready-made?" Gu Yanchen was a little shocked after hearing the meaning of her words. He had seen her take out some prepared chicken, duck, and braised beef before, but he had never seen proper meals that could be taken out and eaten.
"It's not ready-made, but it's much easier than cooking. Basically, all you need is water."
Ran Qingxuan waved his hand and four identical travel backpacks appeared, each half a person's height.
To avoid being seen, she simply reached her hand in, moved her mind slightly, and instantly filled several backpacks with food purchased from the tablet mall.
Gu Yanchen picked up a pack of soldier rations and looked at it again and again, but couldn't figure out what it was.
They took a lot of things they needed here and there. Ran Qingxuan looked at the full box of individual rations and nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, let Wei Yiping and the others come over and move it!"
Gu Yanchen put down the rations in his hand and looked at Ran Qingxuan who was still thinking about what he needed, a trace of shame flashed across his face.
"In fact, what they lack now is not food and clothing, but money..."
"Hmm? Why do you say that?"
"Shan Qi and his friends left their hometown for me. They have all these skills but no one knows what will happen to them in the future. Their families chose to abandon everything to follow me. Now I need you to feed me even for a full meal..."
"Don't think too much. Just get through the difficulties ahead of you. Things will get better in the future."
Gu Yanchen's words reminded her that she had plenty of money, but giving it directly was not her style.
Once you give, it becomes a habit, and not giving becomes a sin...
Looking at the large and small bags in front of him, Ran Qingxuan thought about it and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Didn't Shan Qi and Fang Zhixing escort the Qi family back to Silver Moon City? Qi Minghe wanted to give them a thank-you gift, but you declined it!"
"You mean to give some silver along with the things, and say it's a reward from the Qi family?"
Gu Yanchen thought this was a good idea. After all, if he just gave them money, the tough ones would not only not accept it, but would even think that it was humiliating them...
"This method is feasible. As long as we can ensure that these people have enough food and drink on the way, they will naturally have a place to stay when they arrive."
After the exiles arrived at the place of exile, the government would reallocate their residence, which could be in the countryside or in uncultivated wasteland, almost anything was possible.
Anyway, these people have to start their lives again after arriving at the destination, and they have to start everything from scratch. It will take a month to get to the destination, and the expenses on the road can be saved for later use.
“Well, then, for dozens of people, we only need to worry about food, so I think fifty taels will be enough.
If you give more, your subordinates might think too much, but if you give less, it might not be enough. ”
As he spoke, Gu Yanchen called Wei Yiping and the others to come over to move the things. Ran Qingxuan had given them the same backpack before, so he was not too surprised.
When he gave the fifty taels to Wei Yiping, he actually confiscated it.
However, after Gu Yanchen's explanation, he accepted it with some doubt.
The bonfire in the cave was not very big. Ran Qingxuan opened the backpack he had just brought in and took out several large bags of coal from it.
This was anthracite that she bought in the flatbed mall. It burns longer than wet firewood or broken coal, and is also very safe.
Wei Yiping and the others watched Ran Qingxuan take out several large bags of black stones, and were curious about how her bag could hold so many...
"Ma'am, what is this?"
Zhuo Yong reached out and took a piece, but after throwing it down, his hands were covered in black, which he couldn't wipe off, so he had to ask Ran Qingxuan awkwardly.
Ran Qingxuan picked up a lot of coal with the fire tongs and put them on the burning rack while explaining.
"This is coal. It's denser than charcoal and burns slower than charcoal. You don't need to worry about it when you rest at night. Put more on the rack and it will burn all night long."
Many people were amazed and curiously picked up the coal and looked at it again and again.
"Wipe your hands first." Gu Yanchen took out a palm-sized portable wet wipe from the cloth bag she was carrying. Ran Qingxuan had used it many times before, so he knew it clearly.
But Wei Yiping and the others didn't know that Gu Yanchen's intimate behavior just now almost scared them to death...
Because if a man approaches a woman and touches her body, he will be regarded as a pervert.
Even if they were a couple, it would be impossible for them to do this in front of so many people...
Perhaps he didn't notice the expressions of these people, Ran Qingxuan took it naturally, and used two or three of them in a row to wipe the black off his hands.
Zhuo Yong looked at him eagerly. Gu Yanchen glanced at him and handed over the rest.
It was the first time to use wet wipes, and Zhuo Yong and the people around him were amazed.
"What material is this? It looks like paper, but it's wet. And it hasn't broken even after being wiped for so long..."
Someone was curious and touched the wet wipes that Zhuo Yong was using, then exclaimed in amazement.
"Silk, this seems to be silk..."
When he heard it was 'silk', Zhuo Yong stopped wiping his hands and unfolded and folded it like a treasure.
Ran Qingxuan almost couldn't help laughing, and quickly explained: "This is just ordinary cotton thread, it's just made more densely, and its value is not as precious as silk."
"Such craftsmanship can be called exquisite."
Seeing that these people's attention was focused on a small wet tissue, Ran Qingxuan quickly changed the subject.
"Keep some of the water for drinking at night, and pour the rest into a pot and boil it. Heat up the food we brought over, and I'll give you some extra food."
As she spoke, she unzipped her backpack and took out the individual rations. Zhuo Yong and the others followed suit to help, until everyone had a bag and only two layers of rations were left in the backpack.
"Isn't this a snack? Why do you want me to boil a pot of water?"
Wei Yiping and their families were holding the square bags, somewhat confused, and began to whisper to each other.
“Is this food?”
"Is the madam joking?"
The families of several families did not know the identities of Ran Qingxuan and Gu Yanchen, and thought that Gu Yanchen was a general who had resigned from his post, just like their children.
Seeing them talking at once, Wei Yiping immediately looked at Gu Yanchen's face. After finding that he was not angry, he signaled these uncles and aunts to be quiet for a while.
Ran Qingxuan took out a pack as a demonstration, and began to explain while operating it under everyone's curious gaze.
"Just do as I did, tear open the outermost layer first, take out the small bags and the transparent bag inside, and pour the water in the transparent bag into the big bag."
Everyone stared at Ran Qingxuan's movements curiously, but his hands didn't move at all.
"Follow my example and seal it. Remember, don't open the other parts of the big bag before pouring the water in. Otherwise, don't blame me for not reminding you if you can't eat!"
