LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 7 Eating alone
The items were delivered to a nearby open space, and Ye Qingran dismissed the delivery boy with a few words, lying that a fleet of vehicles would arrive soon. "Where did you get so much money?"
Ye Zhuoyu frowned, knowing that she was not favored in the palace. Let alone a reward from the emperor, even her monthly salary would probably be withheld. Such a huge sum of money inevitably made him feel uneasy.
Ye Qingran was busy counting the rice noodles and various grains sent by the shopkeeper, and replied without raising his head: "I'm going to steal the treasury!"
"..."
Ye Zhuoyu thought she was joking and stared at the mountains of grain again, "How can we carry so much stuff on the way to exile? You are really becoming more and more careless in doing things. Do you want to move them back bit by bit?" He frowned, but he also helped. Thinking about the solution, "I have some old friends in the capital at least. You wait for me here, and I'll go find them to borrow some carriages. I can move as much as I can. I'll have enough to eat on the way."
"Brother, leave this place to me. Don't worry, I guarantee you won't take away even a grain of rice!"
Ye Qingran never thought of hiding it from him. In the original setting, her brother was the most secretive and took good care of her. He was just a soft-spoken person and a soft-hearted person. She pushed Ye Zhuoyu's back and asked him to wait outside for a moment. She saw a red light flashing in the warehouse and all the rice noodles were put into the space.
She walked out with empty hands. Ye Zhuoyu angrily rebuked "Nonsense" and raised his feet to step into the warehouse. However, he closed his mouth from ear to ear in shock. He pointed at the empty ground with trembling hands and rubbed his eyes with his hands, " This, this, this! Where are the things?"
"They said I could move away."
Ye Qingran raised his eyebrows, clapped his hands and pointed to the outside of the alley, "Don't leak the secret, let's go! Next one!"
In two hours, the brother and sister successfully raided the blacksmith shop with tacit cooperation and purchased raw iron blocks that could be used to forge weapons, fifty bows, dozens of eight-claw hooks and anchors, and fifty swords; The clothing store bought 20 pieces of ready-made clothes for men and women, 30 sets of cotton coats, trousers, and socks, and 10 sets of armor that could prevent wind and cross the river. At the medicine shop at the east end of the street, Ye Qingran directly mixed all the medicines in their shop. The equipment, medicine packs for acupuncture, anti-inflammatory medicine, Mafei powder, gold sore medicine, and various pill furnaces for making pills were all collected, with a total cost of twenty taels.
The money box in the space only went down to a small corner, so it can be ignored.
But Ye Qingran bought more and more supplies, which were neatly stacked in the space.
At this moment, Ye Zhuoyu finally discovered that there was something different about his sister, but since she wanted to hide it, he didn't ask or tell.
When the two returned to the camp of the exile team, Xu Qiang looked at the late morning sky and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's put down the food today, and then go on our way after eating."
Xu Qiang signaled the other officers and soldiers to distribute the food issued by the court to each person according to the number of heads. Two hard pancakes that were too hard to bite and a bowl of clear porridge with only a handful of rice grains. The General's Mansion was slightly better, and there were two or three more. Warm cornmeal nest.
"Where are the dishes? Are there no meat dishes?"
Su Jia, the pampered Qing of Dali Temple in the capital, looked at the food that was clear and watery. He felt uncomfortable in his stomach before eating it and asked loudly.Xu Qiang said with a strong and sarcastic attitude: "What? I thought you were Mr. Su from the capital? There is no meat and vegetables. There are wild vegetables here. If you want to eat, you can come and get some!"
The green and cold wild vegetables are really good for the body, but the taste is really hard to compliment.
Before Ye Qingran left the palace, she had already eaten a whole crystal elbow in the imperial dining room. She was not yet hungry at the moment. She sat there, staring blankly at the two cornbread in her hands, and smoothed over the various thoughts that appeared in her mind. information, trying to take advantage.
When Ye Guodong and his wife Jiang saw her like this, they gathered all the nests in their hands and walked to Ye Qingran, "Ran'er, daddy knows that you feel uncomfortable, but you should eat as much as possible. The road ahead will be difficult. Come on, how can I bear this when my stomach is empty?" He loved his daughter very much, and his eyes were full of love.
"Dad, you and mom should eat more."
Ye Qingran saw that the two of them were almost unmoved, "Even if you often fight on the battlefield and are used to living in the open air, you are still no better than you were in your prime. You still need to pay attention." She pushed the nest back, and the two father and daughter unexpectedly had it. A feeling of pushing and shoving.
Ye Qinglian looked on from the side, stood up jealously, and grabbed both nests.
"My sister won't eat, but I will!"
"How can daddy be partial? I haven't eaten enough, and neither you nor mom care about me!"
Ye Qinglian complained, and Ye Qingran looked at the residue at the corner of her mouth. If he saw it correctly, this thin sister had already eaten two nests and two bowls of porridge, could she eat more? The capacity in this belly is really quite big!
"Mom and Dad, I'm going to walk around the front and see if I can hunt anything to start a small stove."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. I often go to the mountains in Yaowang Valley..."
Ye Qingran found a reason to leave the crowd and went alone to a dense grass halfway up the mountain. She took out two pheasants and hares newly bought in the capital from the space, held them by the ears, and let them roll around on the ground twice. He created the illusion of being gray and nodded with satisfaction, "This looks like game!"
After counting silently in his mind for half a quarter of an hour, Ye Qingran carried them back to the camp.
"Mom and Dad! Look what I hit!"
Ye Qingran called out loudly and attracted the attention of the people around him. Ye Zhuoyu recognized it at a glance as the thing they bought. He didn't open it and just stepped forward to take it. "It tastes best if you pluck the hair out and bake it!" "
"My lord, everyone who sees you has a share, and you should also share it with your brothers."
Ye Qingran walked to Xu Qiang carrying a pheasant and bribed them.
Several officers and soldiers swallowed their saliva and thanked Ye Qingran one after another, and their attitude towards her was even more pleasant.
A short-handed manipulator but a soft-spoken manipulator, Ye Qingran has a very good grasp of human relations and sophistication.
The crackling dry firewood lit up a half-meter-high flame. Ye Zhuoyu handed the two roasted chicken legs to Ye Guodong and Jiang. They hesitated and wanted to push them to Ye Qingran, but saw her spread the two wings directly in her mouth. Started chewing, "I like to eat this! Just leave me alone. These things will go bad if you don't eat them. It's safest to send them to the Five Zang Temple as soon as possible!"
"I...I want to eat too!"
Ye Qinglian was so greedy that her mouth watered, but the four nests had already made her unable to eat even half a piece of meat.
She reluctantly took a bite, and then tears of disgust flowed down her face. She bent over with her hands on her knees and vomited.
Ye Qingran shook her head, hoping that her sister would remember the consequences of being greedy.
"Where did you get that? Get some for us too!"
The uncle of the Ye family, who had been quiet and honest for a while, assumed the posture of an elder brother and said bossily to Ye Guodong, "Did our mother teach you to eat alone since you were a child?"
