Chapter 10: Flatbread with Meat, Here Are Some Sets(1/2)

After an hour, the people who entered the county town came back. There was only one mule and three cars were pulled away. No wonder it was too late.

Huo Wu patted his forehead: "Oh, I'm really confused!"

The car has its own style, so it is easy to remember to distinguish; mules and horses look the same. Just change the car, and there is no need to change mules.

From early in the morning, everyone walked for more than ten miles of mountain road, then stayed at the Shi Family's accident site for an hour, then took a carriage for twenty miles, and waited here for an hour. Everyone was hungry and waiting for food.

Twenty kilograms of sauce meat, five sauce ducks, five smoked fish, twenty kilograms of cakes, one hundred meat buns, half a cart of hangings.

It is already Shen Zheng (4 pm), and it is still sixty miles away from Jinling. I can't get into the city today. These foods include the evening meal.

Everyone was so hungry that they didn't say anything, they all buried their heads in hard work.

Others can only eat half of the big pancakes, but Huo Bao took a whole pancake, picked up a pound of sauce and made a big pancake. After eating three in one breath, his pale little face was relieved.

Charged!

The crisis is lifted!

Huo Bao didn't want to experience the feeling of being powered off anymore. He thought in his mind that he had to take food with him in the future, otherwise it would be really scary.

While thinking about whether it is better to preserve jerky or jerky, Huo Bao burped it. This time he was really full.

Everyone was already shocked.

Huo Bao ate porridge yesterday and this morning, and ate three or four bowls more than others. The comparison is not that obvious. Today, they are all dry food, so the comparison is very obvious.

Huo Bao ate six kilograms of cakes, three kilograms of sauce meat, one sauce duck, one smoked fish, and about twenty meat buns; the remaining thirteen people included six kilograms of cakes, four kilograms of sauce meat, one sauce duck, one smoked fish, and thirty buns.

The portion Huo Bao eats alone is almost the same as what everyone eats together.

Everyone was still surprised by Huo Bao's appetite, and Huo Wu was already feeling very distressed.

Compared with my son’s meal, the first few meals looked like a gap, and my son didn’t know how he was hungry.

"Brother Huo, you are not the stars descending to the earth, you are the divine beast descending to the earth, you are the one with a big mouthful of swallowing the sky, and you can eat that!" Jia Daishan turned around Huo Bao several times, staring at his stomach for a long time before he came to this conclusion.

"Second brother, I'll say it again!" Jia Daihua hurriedly stopped.

The one who can swallow the sky is Taotie, which is not a divine beast, but a ferocious beast.

It was getting late, so everyone changed their carriages and continued on their way.

When the sky was almost dark, the carriage reached the ferry, only a river from Jinling.

There is a tea shed near the ferry entrance, run by an old couple, which is for the guests who cross the river to rest.

There were already two tables of guests inside, so everyone unloaded the mule cart and entered the tea shed.

A dozen people came in and sat in the remaining three tables.

The old man came forward to greet him with hot water. Huo Wu asked for tea before he asked for the matter of borrowing the stove to heat up food.

The old man agreed happily, so Huo Wu called Shitou and so he could eat hot food.

Wait until the hot meat buns, big pancakes, sauced meat, sauce duck, and smoked fish are served, and the shed is full of meat fragrance.

Seeing that Huo Wu was well-fed, he took half a pound of sauce and thanked the young man. The young man was so happy that he kept bowing.

The two tables next to them couldn't sit still and looked at each other.

When I saw two large pots of food, someone came up to buy some and wanted to pay for some. When the guests at the other table saw it, they followed them up and said.

Huo Wu did not answer directly, but looked at Jia Yuan.

"Of course, Brother Huo Wu will decide the food you buy!" Jia Yuan said hurriedly.

Huo Wu nodded and said to the two men: "We are not rich in food, but when we meet, it's all fate. Just one table of ten buns, two kilograms of sauce meat, and one sauce duck. As for the price, I still need to ask my brother, he put them in front of me." This sentence refers to Jia Yuan's words.

The two of them thanked each other happily and asked Jia Yuan for a price.

"One bun for ten cents, two hundred cents a pound of sauce meat, and one hundred fifty cents a duck." Jia Yuan said.

The two of them had no objection, and each took out seven cents of silver and left with food.

Everyone in Nanshan Village was frightened by the price.

"Brother Jia, has the rice price increased again?" Uncle Huo asked hurriedly.

"Well, I said that a few days ago, a dou of rice was 200 yuan, and three yuan per day, and today it has reached a thousand yuan."

"This...how is this good..."

"Brother Huo, don't worry, this is the price in Jiangbei, it's good to pass the river. Due to the spring drought, the rice price in Jinling is slightly higher than in previous years, but it's only 70 to 80 cents of rice."

Even if Jia Yuan said this, everyone was hesitant and careful when they ate.

Huo Bao was full in the afternoon. After only two hours, he had not digested it much, so he only ate two sauce-flavored pork burritos. The appetite was not that eye-catching.

Others don’t know that they just think that the baby is caring about food and refuses to eat too much. They follow the example and put down their chopsticks after eating half full.

"We will cross the river tomorrow morning, and there is no shortage of food. Why do you save these few bites? The meat is hot and all eaten, but it will hurt if it is broken. Tiger, stone, you can continue eating." Huo Wu frowned and said, "Erlang, don't let go of your mouth, young man, it's the time to eat!"

After Huo Wu said this, everyone looked at Huo Bao, as if he wanted to act with Huo Bao.

Huo Wu's voice was a little softer.

"Xiaobao, don't worry about eating. What's the food for those two bites? If you eat more, will you be so hungry that you will be so painful to death?"

"This kid is so sensible!"

"Xiaobao doesn't eat it, we don't eat it either."

"Uncle Bao, Niu Niu will bring you buns."

“…”

“…”

Seeing this, Huo Bao said what else could he say, so he kept eating.

Another burrito is a meat-cooked pancake, let's eat it.

Others seemed to have achieved some victory, and their originally nervous and worried expressions changed, and they began the second round happily.

I don’t know if I’m in a good mood and have a good appetite, or if I think the prices are high, I’m afraid I won’t have the chance to eat so much meat in the future, so everyone really opened up to eat.

Two large pots of food were eaten, but they were all eaten.

Only at the two tables of guests next to him did I understand what Huo Wu said, "I don't have enough food" mean.

These are all a bunch of big-bellied men.

No one saw it from the beginning, so naturally they didn't know that the biggest big-bellied man was a young boy.

I took a night in the tea shed, and when it was dawn, a ferry came to the ferry.

The Huo family also brought the remains of Uncle Shi Er. These are the most taboos when riding on a boat. They must explain it to the ship owner and directly pay the price of a new ship before the negotiation is settled.

After three groups, they all transported the people and mule carts to the other side.

This is not the Guandu in Jinling City, but a wild ferry that is about ten miles away from Jinling City.

Everyone got off the boat and got on the bus again. After traveling for about ten miles, they arrived outside Jinling City.

Jiangnan is comfortable, and Jinling City is a prosperous place, gathering many small vendors. These people cannot afford the houses in the city, so they all settle outside the city.

There are many people bustling with shops on both sides, and there is a half-trading street outside the city.

"How can the Shi family say something, I have to find Brother Shi to make an idea." Jia Yuan couldn't even use breakfast, so he called Huo Wu and hurried to Qianhu to find someone.

The others just found a stall on the side of the road for breakfast.

A meat bun with three ounces is not as high as Jiangbei.

Qianhusou was not far from here. After everyone finished their breakfast, they were strolling around again. Jia Yuan brought a military man of twenty-seven or eight, which was Jia Yuan's friend Shi Jin.

The military man looked at everyone with red eyes, his eyes fell on Huo Bao, and his face showed gratitude.

This is not a place to speak outside, so Shi Jin invited everyone to settle in a small courtyard on the back street.

"This is my colleagues. I used to rent it out to collect rent. The former tenant checked out. I paid the rent for a year. The city was lively and there were many people and the courtyards were small. Brother Huo and Brother Huo Wu might as well stay here."

It is said to be a small yard, but there are not many houses.

There are two north houses with three straight and two ears, two east and west wings, and two south houses, with a total of more than ten houses.

The courtyard gate was wide open, and several mule carts rushed in.

Shi Jinxian saw his uncle's remains, so he took his cousin's two blood letters to the city to find his aunt.

Death is the greatest, and being buried in the land is the peace. There is a saying for a burial of how to be buried and what name it is.

Jia Yuan took his nephew and followed Shi Jin and returned home from a distance. He wanted to send his children home and report his safety.

Only the people in Nanshan Village were left in the yard.

Huo Wu, Huo Bao and his son looked at each other and both looked at the yard.

If there were only two fathers and sons, there would be no difference between them and outside the city. If there were problems, both fathers and sons could protect themselves. But if there were so many people with family members, Huo Bao would not be able to guarantee anything even if he had great strength.

Others are still worth it, but Niu Dalang and his brothers are all uneasy.

Along the way, they all followed the Huo family to eat and drink. Now when they arrived at the place, they were all thinking about supporting themselves. But now the three brothers' pockets were cleaner than their faces, and they were really not a big boy. They had to follow the Huo family with thick faces before they were paid.
