The next day, when they were on their way after breakfast, Yang Haiyan walked faster. Originally, the carriage was slower with the brigade, because everyone was walking.

Yang Haiyan took away the three female relatives of Aunt Lian, Aunt Fan, Aunt Yu, Kun Zhang, Meng Qiu, Huang Xu, Meng An and Niu Dajia, a total of ten people. In addition to Kun Shi and other private guards, there are twenty soldiers.

I have to say that, as she proposed, she took people one step ahead, which really had a lot of benefits. At least when Qin Fang arrives with the brigade, he can have dinner directly.

Two days later, everyone walked out of the boundary of Yongzhou. The number of people who ate in these two days has grown from more than 300 at first to more than 1,000, because the dry food everyone brought has gradually bottomed out.

As for rice, from the first meal of rice and bone porridge, to steamed buns, then to rice and sweet potato porridge, or baked potatoes, etc., they are mainly porridge, steamed buns, sweet potatoes and potatoes, mainly for convenience. After three days, the food that Yang Haiyan brought was exhausted. Compared with the cost of food, neither earn nor lose. However, if you don't earn or lose, you will earn. After all, there is no need to pay for the food expenses of the two hundred soldiers.

At noon that day, after a good meal, Aunt Fan came to Yang Haiyan: "Madam, the food we brought has bottomed out." There is a big difference between eating for a thousand people and eating for a family. If it is eaten by a family, the food they bring cannot be eaten for a year, but if a thousand people eat it, it will be gone in two days. Aunt Fan's tone was full of worry, she had eaten all of it, and the wife also said that she was in charge of the food for the whole team, so what should I do next?

Faced with Aunt Fan's worry, Yang Haiyan was very happy. She smiled and said, "It's good to run out of stock, and we can relax a little when we hit the road."

Qin Fangzheng came to look for her, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be curious: "How can it be good after eating it all?"

Yang Haiyan turned around and said mysteriously, "Guess."

Speaking of which, Qin Fang really didn't know much about these mundane things. Although he came from a poor family, he had grandparents, parents, and uncles and aunts in his family before he joined the army. After joining the army, the crew had three meals a day, and he didn't have to think about it, so he was really curious to hear Yang Haiyan say this.

It stands to reason that she should be worried that she has run out of food, but why does it feel good? Listening to her tone also means to continue to prepare everyone's food.

Qin Fang shook his head, put down his body and softened his voice: "Good Yanyan, I really can't think of it, you can tell me."

Yang Haiyan felt that this person was becoming more and more shameless now. In public, an old aunt of hers, who was running for the third time, was ashamed to hear such words, and he still came along.

When Qin Fang saw her looking at him, he said innocently, "I'm not as smart as yours."

Yang Haiyan just ignored him: "We're about to leave, I'll know when I see you at night, and I won't tell you now." After speaking, he left Qin Fang with a head and walked towards the carriage.

Qin Fang didn't make trouble when he saw it, but smiled, turned to look at everyone, and said sternly: "Everyone is ready to leave."

Yang Haiyan's team quickly left the brigade, and it didn't take long for them to disappear from everyone's sight. They were both carriages and horses, and the speed of the brigade's walking was envious.

Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Lu were in a donkey cart. They used to ride separately, but after a few days, it was too lonely for them to sit on their own, and there was no one to talk to, so they sat together.

Mrs. Yang said: "I saw that Mrs. Qin's carriage has run out of food. There are too many people to eat in the past two days, and there is not enough food. I don't know what to do next?"

Mrs. Lu glanced at her: "Don't we still have the food we brought?" They spent money to eat the food from the Qin family these two days, so the rest of what they brought.

Mrs. Yang: "That said, but what about the Qin family? General Qin has already spoken out, so he can't eat it for two days, right?"

Mrs. Lu had no other idea: "We don't need to worry about this. We can't worry about it. Let's see how General Qin plays his cards."

Mrs. Yang didn't mean anything else, she was just curious and just talked to Mrs. Lu in private.

An hour and a half later, Yang Haiyan and his party arrived at a village again. In other words, they are looking for it according to the village. Because Kun Shi has walked this road, he is very familiar with the road conditions here, and he knows where the village is. "Madam, there is a village in front of you. Are you going to enter the village?"

Yang Haiyan said: "It is. You arrange for someone to tell the general that you will spend the night here tonight."

Kun Shi: "Yes." He called Huang Huzi, "Huzi, go back and report to the adults, and rest when the brigade arrives here, and spend the night here today."

Huang Huzi: "Yes..." He got on the horse and walked back immediately.

Yang Haiyan continued: "Captain Kun, let's enter the village."

Kun Shi: "Yes."

At the gate of the village, their group of thirty or forty people attracted the attention of many people. In other words, when they appeared in front, someone went to the village chief. After all, these people are either riding horses or carriages, and at first glance they are either rich or expensive. When the nobles appeared here, the villagers were not only curious but also nervous, afraid of what would happen.

Yang Haiyan said to Kun Shi: "Let them rest in place, we will scare people in the past."

Kun Shi made a gesture towards the soldiers, who immediately stood on the spot.

Yang Haiyan said to Madam Lian: "Mammy, I asked the villagers to call the village chief, and said that I want to discuss a big business with the village chief."

Sister Lian leaned over: "Yes."

Madam Lian walked to a few villagers who were looking at them, and said kindly, "Excuse me, we are officials passing by. We have something to do with the village chief and want to discuss a business with him. I wonder if this lady can help. May I ask the mayor?"

When the woman being questioned heard that they were officials, she immediately said respectfully, "Someone has already called for the village chief, so please wait for a while."

Madam Lian said, "Thank you for this lady."

After a while, the village chief came. The village chief of this village looks very old, with white hair and a cane, but he looks good.

The village chief looked at them defensively and approached from a distance, he was a little cautious and a little worried. "May I ask who you are?" He could see that the group was headed by this young woman, and there were so many serving people and guards beside the woman, so it was obvious that they had different identities.

Sister Lian said: "Hello, village chief, my wife is the official family member of the fifth-rank general. I want to discuss a business with your village today."

Talk about business? The village chief looked at Yang Haiyan suspiciously. He had lived to his age and knew that there was no such thing as a pie in the sky, but he did not dare to reject the other party because he had an identity. Do you know what your business is about?"

Mother Lian also looked at Yang Haiyan, because she didn't know what business the wife was talking about, and the wife just talked about business.

Yang Haiyan said: "It's like this, my husband is a Wude general of the fifth grade, and was ordered by the emperor to go to Yunxiang County to settle the barbarians who surrendered at the border, so I passed by here. It's just that the road to Yunxiang County is far away. The dry food is limited, so I came to the village chief to order tonight's dinner, tomorrow's breakfast and lunch.

Today's dinner is sweet potato rice, with a layer of fried cabbage on top. It costs two cents per serving. Only the sweet potato rice should not be too small, and it should be enough for an adult man to be 70% full. Breakfast is rice porridge with a boiled egg, which is also two cents.

Tomorrow's lunch is two steamed buns for a penny. How about a thousand servings per ton for three meals? "The whole court knows about Qin Fang's placement of the barbarians, as well as Yunxiang County, so this is something that the people of the whole country can know, not a secret.

If it is a secret thing, Yang Haiyan will naturally not say it. And she said this to reassure the village chief.

Sure enough, after listening to Yang Haiyan's words, the village chief was indeed relieved a lot. Moreover, if it was another business, he would worry about other things, but it was just a meal business, so he naturally wouldn't worry about it. Besides, for dinner, the cabbage is fried with sweet potato rice, and the cost is not even a penny. The noble person gave two penny a piece, and they still earned it. For breakfast the next day, I have eggs for porridge. I can buy eggs for a penny, but I don't need two coins for porridge and eggs. Besides, two steamed buns don't cost a penny, so they still make money.

The village chief thought about it and thought it was worthwhile, so he said, "Caomin will arrange for everyone to prepare, why don't you invite the noble to go to Caomin's house to rest for a while?"

Yang Haiyan said, "I'm bothering you over there." Then she said to Kun Shi, "Captain Kun, you can wait here with everyone, and I can go there with Nanny Lian, Meng Ping, and Tao Shan."

Kun Shi: "Yes."

The village chief took Yang Haiyan back to his home, and originally asked his daughter-in-law to clean up a room and come out to entertain guests. But Yang Haiyan refused, she just sat in the yard.

Yang Haiyan sat down, and the village chief's daughter-in-law stepped forward and asked, "I have seen a noble person, can you ask for tea?"

Yang Haiyan said, "If you are bothering my sister-in-law, just bring me a pot of hot water."

The village chief's daughter-in-law said, "Yes, wait a moment."

Madam Lian took out a bag from the satchel she was carrying, and then spread it out: "Madam to fill your stomach." The bag contained small biscuits, sweet and salty twists.

Speaking of which, Mammy Lian and others learned from Yang Haiyan whether they would use a satchel. But with this bag, it is really convenient to travel, like some things can be carried with you.

Yang Haiyan picked up a biscuit and took a sip, the mellow milk flavor spread from her mouth. Suck it...a drooling sound entered Yang Haiyan's ears. She turned her head following the voice, and saw a little boy hiding at the door of the kitchen. The little boy stuck out a small head and looked at him curiously.

Yang Haiyan looked at this lovely child, couldn't help laughing, and waved at him.
