Mind reading, taking the rental house through the whole village crying

Chapter 744: Exile to the North Gate

The carriage passed through a bumpy terrain, and even though Pan Shitou tried to slow down as much as possible, the dried meat in Jiang Fubao's hand still fell off.

"Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-" Xue Huan was deliberately making weird sounds, and the sound swayed from top to bottom with every bump.

Sounds weird and cute.

"Naughty." Jiang Fubao said with a smile.

"Miss, should we go to Jiangnan or Canghai Province first?" Pan Erya supported Jiang Fubao tightly, fearing that she would fall.

She looked curious.

"Let's go to Canghai first. It's far from the imperial city. After going to Canghai, we can go to Jiangnan. This way, the rest of the journey will be the return trip, and we don't have to go back. It's auspicious." Jiang Fubao thought for a while before speaking.

"Okay, Miss has made the best arrangement. I'll go out and tell my brother," Pan Erya bent over, opened the curtain and sat outside. On her left was her elder brother, and on her right were the officials, one in this carriage and one in the one behind.

The two officers sat separately to prevent any emergencies.

When the curtain was opened, cold wind blew in from outside. Jiang Fubao didn't feel cold, but felt comfortable instead.

Because there was a charcoal stove in the carriage, charcoal would be replenished every time we arrived at a place. When the weather got cold, we would start burning charcoal, so it was not cold at all.

Jiang Fubao's cheeks were burned red.

There was a wire mesh rack on the charcoal stove, with a teapot in the middle, in which dried fruit tea was brewing. There was a circle of food around the teapot, including fried cakes bought before departure, and steamed buns, which were cut into thin slices. When heated, they were crispy and delicious.

"Miss, the slices of meat you asked me to prepare are all packed in a lunch box. Are we having barbecue for lunch?"

Pan Erya went to sit outside and soon came back rubbing her hands.

The carriage was going very fast and the wind blew straight into her collar, making her feel very cold.

"Yes, it will take almost a whole morning to pickle them. We will eat these at noon. When we come across the river on the way, we will wash the vegetables and wrap the meat slices with the vegetable leaves. You have no idea how delicious they are."

Jiang Fubao started drooling at the thought of this bite.

The wire mesh rack was made by her a few years ago. The wires are wrapped very densely, which is just right for barbecue. Especially the charcoal she bought is the most expensive smokeless charcoal, so she is not afraid of being smoked even in the carriage. She can barbecue while traveling without wasting time.

"Okay, miss, everything you cook is delicious. I don't know how you came up with the sauce, it smells so good." Pan Erya sniffed and felt the aroma of the marinade filling the carriage.

Jiang Fubao smiled without saying anything. Of course it smells good.

The sauce for marinating the meat was something she got from the space. It was already packaged and she only had to open it, pour it into a plate and spread it on the meat.

She borrowed the inn's kitchen in the morning, and no one knew what she did in there.

If Jiang Fubao hadn't been afraid of arousing suspicion from the servants and officials, he would have wanted to eat the watermelon as well, as well as some grilled sausages.

Ever since the family no longer had money, the snack shop no longer sold grilled sausages and other things.

Firstly, the amount was too small, and secondly, grandma and grandpa were worried that if she was always taking things out from under her bed, it would arouse suspicion once it was discovered.

Therefore, the ingredients for the snack shop were all bought by my grandmother and aunt from Caishi Street, or they would make an order with others and have them delivered.

An old customer of the snack shop even mentioned it and said he wanted to eat grilled sausages.

Jiang Fubao simply made a sausage.

The sausages you make yourself don’t taste as good as the grilled sausages that are made with high-tech ingredients, but they are also very delicious. They are 30% fat and 70% lean. Add sugar, salt, and wine and mix well with the minced meat. Then add some spices. If you want something spicy, you can also add chili peppers.

Jiang Fubao has made spicy sausages, pepper sausages, and even rice sausages.

There are dozens of kinds of snacks in Jiang’s snack shop.

The shop's business is good all year round. No matter when you go, there is always a queue at the door and it is always full.

There were also merchants from other places who came to Zhang Jinlan and wanted to cooperate, but she rejected them all.

A tall tree attracts the wind; she keeps these four words in mind.

When she first opened the snack shop, she hoped that her family would have a better life and would have enough food and drink. Now that her wish has come true and her family is extremely rich, why is she still so greedy?

You never know who is targeting you, and not only will you lose your shop, you may even lose your life.

Wasn’t that the case of family annihilation before?

One person can kill so many, she needs to keep a low profile.

It takes seven days to get to Canghai Province. Jiang Fubao slept in the inn for six nights. On the last night, since he was in the wilderness, he could only sleep in a carriage. The officials and servants took turns to guard him. If anything happened, they would drive away immediately.

Jiang Fubao didn't sleep peacefully at all.

Camping outside these days is really a matter of life and death.

There are jackals, tigers, leopards, bandits and robbers everywhere.

After finally holding out until dawn, the carriage set off again.

Jiang Fubao fell asleep leaning on Pan Erya's shoulder. Whenever the carriage encountered a river on the road, the carriage would stop, and Pan Erya and the servants in the carriage behind would go down to fetch water.

The last day of November.

Sun Guangzong was sentenced to death by hanging and has been executed. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Sun family were exiled to Beiguan together for ten years and set off immediately.

Upon learning that their son and grandson had died, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cried until their voices were hoarse.

Both pairs of eyes were swollen like walnuts.

Just as the officers were escorting them onto the carriage to leave the city.

Zhang Jinlan came alone.

"Xiao Tao, wait a minute." She shouted to one of the officers.

This official was an acquaintance. Before he became an official, he often went to the snack shop to eat. It was Jiang Dahe who recommended him to be an official. He was muscular, tall, and had a clean background. Not only because of the Jiang family's face, but even if he went to the county government himself, Meng Bujiu would also recruit him.

"Aunt Zhang, why are you here? Do you have something to talk to me about?" Xiao Tao immediately stopped and walked forward.

"I'm talking to her. Here, take it and buy some buns on the way. Don't get hungry and thin. The journey is long. I'll escort her all the way to Beiguan. I don't know when she'll be back. You have to be careful. Share the money with them. If you get cold on the way, you can drink some wine. It can warm you up. But don't drink too much. It's dangerous."

Zhang Jinlan took out a few silver ingots and placed them in Xiao Tao's palm, and whispered.

"Aunt Zhang, you misunderstood. We are not the ones escorting them to the North Gate. We are just sending them to the prefect. There are special officers who will send these exiled people to the North Gate together. I will be back tomorrow at the latest." Xiao Tao explained quickly. He did not want the silver and put it back into Zhang Jinlan's hands.

He was able to become an official with the help of the Jiang family. He couldn't even repay the favor, so how could he ask for money?

He knew that Jiang Sanhe was a member of the Jiang family, so after he finished speaking, he pulled Jiang Sanhe over.

"Aunt Zhang, we can't delay too long. Please speak as quickly as possible. I'll be there in a moment." After saying that, he walked aside, leaving the mother and daughter alone.
