After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Chapter 122 Stocking up

"Village chief, why don't we just wait? Maybe the conscription will be over before we reach Dayang Village."

"Yes, village chief, our ancestors have been here for generations. This is our root. How can we move away so easily?"

"..."

After deciding to escape with the people from Dayang Village, the next step is to gather everyone and spread the news.

What Bai Qingyun didn't expect was that as soon as this news was sent out, it was not greeted with the imagined scene of the old man willing to face death calmly, but with the fierce resistance of the younger generation in Dayang Village.

"It's fine if others say so, but don't those who followed me to Baiyang Town know why?"

Yang Daming is the future village chief, and this is something that everyone in Dayang Village agrees on.

Given the current situation in Dayang Village, Village Chief Yang still has to do the work of the elderly. These people obey Yang Daming, which is perfect for him.

"All the merchants in the town are running away if they can, so are they going to let Dayang Village go?"

"Now Dashan has risked his life to come back and deliver the letter, just to find a way for everyone to survive."

"..."

After listening for a long time, Bai Qingyun felt a little tired.

Everyone at home is packing their bags, trying to get on the road as quickly as possible. Bai Qingyun also wants to go back early to clean up his room.

"We have hired bodyguards to escort you. If you want to go with us, we will meet at the entrance of the village the day after tomorrow morning. That's it! We won't force anyone who doesn't want to go. Everything is voluntary."

After saying this, Bai Qingyun and Bai's father turned around and left. No matter how good the Bai family was in the eyes of these people, it was not as good as their own family minding their own business.

We will set off the day after tomorrow. This is the time I confirmed with the village chief yesterday.

But except Bai Qingyun and An Twelve, no one knew the real route.

Even if some people are unwilling to leave, Bai Qingyun is not afraid that someone will reveal their whereabouts.

"Mom, why don't we kill all the chickens and ducks at home? It's inconvenient to carry them on the road."

The women in the family were busy in the kitchen. They didn't know how long they would be delayed on the road, and it was inconvenient to cook in the wild. Grandma Bai had experience in fleeing famine, so she prepared a lot of dry food for her family, which they could eat by heating it up on the road.

Grandma Bai thought about it and replied to Bai's mother: "Okay, kill them all and give them some nourishment for everyone in the next two days."

When you are on the road, you are rushing every day, and you cannot do without adequate nutrition.

"Madam, what should we do with the remaining wild boar meat?"

A wild boar was killed a few years ago, the pig's head was braised, and a large vat of lard was boiled. Half of the pork was eaten, and most of the rest was left hanging in the kitchen.

When Bai Qingyun approached, he just heard Xie Shuer's question. Compared to the depressing atmosphere at home, Bai Qingyun's voice was much more cheerful.

"Chop them into stuffing, mix with pickled cabbage, and add the remaining fat to make buns and dumplings!"

Pork and sauerkraut filling, delicious.

Compared to the end of the previous life, this time, as long as nothing unexpected happens, the whole family can live well.

The life ahead is simply bright, so of course I will be happy.

Others just can't see the way forward and are a little confused. As long as they step through this fog, the future will be smooth for everyone.

When I thought about this, everything suddenly became clear.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, little one. Make buns and dumplings!"

At night, candles were lit in the kitchen, the lights were on, fires were burning on several stoves, and everyone was busy in the kitchen.

Grandma Bai called Bai Qingyun into the room alone.

Opening a locked wooden box, the paint on the outside had fallen off in a few pieces, but Grandma Bai still cleaned it up very well.

"Little one, this is the money that our family has saved recently."

At the top of the box was what Manager Xu handed to Bai Qingyun on behalf of Zhu Yu, and underneath were a few silver notes worth one hundred taels.

After counting, the family's savings now exceeded 15,000 taels, enough to buy a nice house and shop in Jiangzhou Prefecture and live on it.

But the Bai family relies on the land for their livelihood. Leaving the land would be like leaving the foundation of life.

However, this amount of money can be used to build a large brick and tile house in the countryside.

If you own hundreds of acres of good farmland and, if conditions permit, a few more hills, you can live a good life.

"Grandma, I'll keep the money for now, but we can't put all our eggs in one basket!"

Seeing that Grandma Bai was a little confused, Bai Qingyun continued to explain.

"Although we have the Twelve to escort us along the way, it is inevitable that we will not be able to take care of some people when we are with the people from Dayang Village. I think we should give some money to our family members so that they will not be short of money if something unexpected happens."

In the past, not to mention other people in the Bai family, even Grandma Bai would wish to break every penny in her hand into two halves to spend.

Although the Bai family now has some silver in their hands, in a place where order has collapsed, a few cents and a few taels of silver are of no use.

Especially when you are hungry, it is common to hold out some silver in your hand and beg for a bite to eat.

Bai Qingyun has always been cautious in doing things and always makes a lot of backup plans just in case.

"Younger is right. How about giving each of us another 100 taels of silver?"

The children in the family are not young anymore, so the adults don’t have to worry about keeping the gold and silver.

What's more, this is gold and silver for life-saving, and it is impossible to spend it casually.

"Grandma, I have a lot of prepared food stored in my space, so you won't be hungry on the road."

Knowing that he would have to travel soon, Bai Qingyun asked the chef robot in the space to turn the steamed buns into more nutritious meat pies or vegetable pies, which were piled in the warehouse, steaming.

Even in the wild, you can have something hot right away.

They were about to set off, and compared to food, Bai Qingyun hoped that his family could conserve their strength and take good care of their health.

"Grandma knows you don't lack food, but everyone is sad. Instead of sitting here and thinking about it, you might as well find something to do."

Since part of the grain in the granary was sold to the people in Dayang Village, it has not been replenished.

After two days of consumption, a lot of the food inside has been used up, and the remaining food has been gathered in one place. When the time comes, it can be placed on the ox cart so that it won't be a burden.

"Sister Shu'er, are you making mung bean cakes?"

The prepared bean paste was served on the plate, instantly replacing the smell of the meat buns at the tip of your nose.

Xie Shuer took out a small piece of mung bean paste, put it into the mold, pressed it hard, then pressed out patterns with the mold, and tapped out the mung bean cake.

Bai Qingyun took a piece of freshly beaten mung bean cake, which was soft, sweet, and slightly tough, with a familiar taste.

"We still have some mung beans left. Let's make mung bean cakes out of them. You can carry them with you and eat two when you're hungry."

Yes, there is no need to envy the candied haws in others’ hands, you should be happy instead.

Bai Qingyun quickly finished the mung bean cake in his hand, suppressed his sad emotions, and replaced them with a bright smile.

"Okay, I'll listen to Sister Shuer!"
