After packing up all the mosquito coils, Jiang Wanwan roughly tallied the data. This batch of mosquito coils consisted of 880 rolls of regular scented mosquito coils and 600 rolls of osmanthus scented mosquito coils.
It was already 2 PM.
The sunlight was exceptionally strong at this time, and the weather was unbearably hot. Going out in such sweltering heat would make anyone faint.
After the oxcart was loaded, Uncle Jiang put on a straw hat to shield himself from the sun.
Jiang Xun took several bamboo tubes and ran back to the kitchen to fill them with water.
Jiang Wanwan also made an excuse to run back to her room.
She opened the online store, bought a bottle of a certain sunscreen and a sun spray, and sprayed them all over her exposed skin.
Getting a tan is fine, but don't get sunspots!
After applying sunscreen, she hid the sunscreen and sun spray. Then, she bought a large bottle of frozen cola from the mall and poured it into a bamboo tube.
Worried that the cola wouldn't stay cold due to the long journey, Jiang Wanwan bought some edible ice cubes and put them into the bamboo tube to keep the cola cold.
Jiang Wanwan opened the bamboo tube and took several large gulps. Instantly, she felt the heat on her body dissipate considerably.
She slung the bamboo tube diagonally across her body, carrying it steadily on her back, so that Jiang Xun and Uncle Jiang Er wouldn't drink it.
It wasn't that she was stingy; she was mainly worried about being exposed.
Jiang Wanwan, with a large bamboo tube hanging around her neck, quickly walked out of her house.
At this moment, Jiang Xun and his second uncle were already waiting for her.
Jiang Wanwan nimbly climbed onto the oxcart, put on her straw hat, and Uncle Jiang began to drive the oxcart.
Along the way, dust flew everywhere, the sun scorched the earth, and the three of them were drenched in sweat.
Uncle Jiang and Jiang Xun kept drinking water from the bamboo tube to replenish their fluids. Jiang Wanwan sipped her slightly chilled cola and didn't find the journey particularly uncomfortable.
Half an hour later, the town gate finally appeared.
Jiang Wanwan had sharp eyes and immediately recognized the bearded soldier guarding the gate as the same soldier who had inspected her oxcart that morning.
"Wait a minute, don't pay the city entrance fee yet." With that, she jumped off the oxcart.
Uncle Jiang's eyes widened, and he stammered, "Wan'er, what... what is she trying to do? No, could it be that she's trying to get close to the soldiers?"
Jiang Xun was also somewhat intimidated by the soldiers. "Look, look at her direction... it should be!"
"It's over, it's over! In a moment, we'll either be kicked out, or we'll be arrested!" Uncle Jiang said in a trembling voice, his heart pounding with fear.
Uncle Jiang and Jiang Xun looked at Jiang Wanwan with trembling eyes, helplessly awaiting the tragedy that was about to unfold.
Jiang Wanwan approached the bearded soldier with light steps. She smiled at him and began to ingratiate herself. "Brother, brother, it's me. I just paid the six-coin entrance fee this morning. You were the one who inspected our oxcart."
The burly man with the thick beard stared at the pretty young girl before him, thinking for a long time before finally remembering her. He looked at her expressionlessly and asked in a businesslike tone, "Miss, what do you need?"
"Hehe, it's nothing. I just thought you looked familiar and seemed especially friendly, so I couldn't help but come over and say hello."
The burly man with the thick beard looked at the little girl in front of him with surprise. The girl was young, but she knew how to get close to people.
He raised an eyebrow. "What's the matter? Just say it directly. Don't you want to pay the city toll?"
