Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 374 Caravan
"What are you thinking? The noodles have been boiled and ready to eat." Xu Erniang wrapped the ears of the pot with dead leaves, and took the food off the fire.

"It's nothing." Xu Yue shook her head with a smile, filled a bowl for each of the family members, and asked everyone to come and eat.

After eating, it was very late, the family turned off the fire, and turned into the tent with the oil lamp.

Xu Erniang and Xu Dalang were busy with their own affairs, and Wang Pingping and Xu Da were not idle either. They opened the map and studied the route.

This map was sent over by Qi Zhou along with the governor's seal, showing Zhao Yu's sincerity.However, the production is rough, and it is completely incomparable with the maps of later generations. It can only be used to identify the approximate position.

Xu Yue took out the walkie-talkie and contacted the Yuyang Communication Camp to give a brief report to each other.

The battery of the walkie-talkie is not durable. After speaking, Xu Yue shuts it down immediately, and waits until the next agreed time to turn it on again, which can save a lot of power.

We still have to go on the road tomorrow, and everyone got into their sleeping bags to rest after finishing their work.

Xu Yue was mentally prepared for her sister to squeeze over, but unexpectedly, she waited for a long time in her sleeping bag, but Xu Erniang didn't come over.

Xu Yue got out of her sleeping bag and saw Xu Erniang lying not far from her, she actually gave up on Tie Tie, her mood was very subtle.

In fact, after leaving Xujiazhuang, my sister didn't have many opportunities to post with her all the time, which also led to her not letting go of sleeping next to each other every time she had the opportunity.

But Xu Yue said she disliked her, but she enjoyed being close to her sister in her heart.

But now, with a great opportunity in front of him, how could my sister not come through?
Thinking of Xu Erniang's various abnormal behaviors today, Xu Yue looked at Xu Erniang suspiciously.

Xu Erniang turned sideways to face it, and the two sisters looked at each other. Xu Erniang seemed to understand what Xu Yue was thinking, smiled at her, and then leaned over.

The two sisters were wrapped in sleeping bags, like two fat bugs, they rubbed each other's heads and laughed silently.

Xu Yue felt at ease, followed her sister to close her eyes and fell asleep.

Unexpectedly, just as he blew out the oil lamp and was about to fall asleep, the horse tethered outside the tent suddenly snorted irritablely.

The five people in the tent opened their eyes instantly.

"I went out to have a look, and there seemed to be the sound of horseshoes and wheels." Xu Dalang got out of his sleeping bag and walked outside.

Wang Pingping glanced at Xu Da, and Xu Da, who wanted to lie back, was forced to get out of his sleeping bag and followed.

The mother and child in the tent waited for a while, and heard the sound of wheels rolling and horseshoes coming from a distance.

"It seems to be a caravan." Xu Da stood at the door of the tent and said softly.

"You guys go on sleeping, Dalang and I stay outside to see if they want to stay here and camp." Xu Da added.

Wang Pingping in the tent felt relieved when she saw that it was not a cavalry team of bandits or aliens looting. She hummed and signaled Xu Yue and Xu Erniang to rest easy.

After all, it is a mortal body, and it can't compare with Xu Da, a cultivator of immortality, and Xu Dalang's abundant energy. Knowing that there is no danger, Xu Yue, who was already too sleepy, continued to sleep.

It was quiet inside the tent, and after a moment of noise outside the tent, it also became quiet.

In the early morning, Xu Yue was woken up by the sound of father talking with a strange man.

The strange man had a loud voice, and laughed a few times, like thunder.

"Master Xu, then it's settled, we'll tidy up later, let's go together!"

"Okay, I'm really bothering Brother Wu, a little respect, and please don't dislike Brother Wu."

"Hahaha, it's easy to talk about it, Mr. Xu is polite"

Followed by the sound of leaving footsteps, Xu Da sent people away and returned to the tent. When he raised his eyes, three pairs of eyes were staring at him.

"You guys are awake." Xu laughed and said, "This caravan came from Yuzhou, passed through Yuyang, and bought a lot of goods. It was going to sell at the border, and it happened to be on the way with us."

"The leader, Brother Ang, has agreed to take us along. They have walked this way many times, and they are more familiar with us than we are."

Xu Yue nodded, the map of Youzhou given by Zhao Yu was really confusing, so there is no need to worry about getting lost now.

Xu Da urged: "Get up and clean up when you wake up, the caravan is about to leave."

Everyone nodded and immediately got up to pack their bags.

The family cooperated tacitly, Xu Yue and Xu Erniang went to get food, Xu Dalang fed the carriage, Xu Da and Wang Pingping packed the tent.

After all the luggage was loaded into the carriage, Xu Yue's breakfast was ready.

After autumn, the temperature is very low in the morning and evening. Although the conditions are limited, Xu Yue still cooks a pot of hot white rice porridge to keep the family warm.

It takes more than ten minutes to cook the porridge in a clay pot. After the porridge is rolled, take out a few slices of bacon and chop it into the porridge. It is fragrant and delicious.

The fragrance drifted with the wind to the caravan camp 20 meters away, causing everyone in the caravan to salivate.

Boss Wu, who was sent away by Xu Da just now, came over again, his eyes swept over the bacon next to sister Xu Yue, "Miss, did you bring this bacon from Yuyang?"

Xu Yue looked up at the loud boss Wu, about 1.7 meters three, muscular all over, with a beard on his face, wearing a four-bag jacket and trousers bought from Yuyang, and a pair of thick-soled leather boots under his feet. Very rough.

But unlike his appearance, this is actually a careful man.

She just took out a piece of bacon, and he immediately thought it was a specialty of Yuyang.

Xu Yue stood up and nodded, "Yes."

Seeing that they were two well-behaved girls, Boss Wu was afraid that he would scare them, so he smiled kindly, pointed to the camp not far away and said:
"I'm the boss of the caravan. You can just call me Uncle Wu. I've already made an agreement with your father, and we're going to go on the road together."

Xu Yue nodded with a smile.

It's normal for the little girl to speak less, and Boss Wu didn't care, pointing to the half piece of bacon and asked with a smile:
"Look, ladies, my brothers are all starved to death by your porridge. I wonder if I can sell uncle some bacon so that uncle can bring it back to improve the food for the brothers?"

There is still a lot of bacon in the research room. Xu Yue picked up half a strip of bacon on the chopping board and handed it to Boss Wu, "Uncle Wu just give me fifty dollars."

"Hahaha, then I'll take advantage of it!" Boss Wu was a straightforward person, counting out fifty coins and handing them to sister Xu Yue, then happily went back to improve the meals for the brothers with the bacon he got.

With this half-meat friendship, the caravan's attitude towards Xu Yue's family became much more enthusiastic.

After the big guys had breakfast, they simply packed up and set out on the road together.

Boss Wu's caravan has only 80 to [-] people, which is a small caravan.

They are not one family, but several families go together.

This caravan sells everything, including salt and sugar imported from Yuyang, as well as pots and pans, clothes, cloth, shoes, needlework, and the like.

They sell as they walk, and they can often sell out these basic daily necessities on the road, and then go to the next city to buy goods, and so on, until they reach the border.
