Chapter 262: Start Stockpiling Food
Chapter 262: Start Stockpiling Food
An Yue walked to the door of the shop, waved to Daniu and Ale who were standing outside the door, and shouted, "Daniu and Ale, bring the wooden box in."
"Okay, miss." The two responded.
Then he started carrying the wooden box into the shop with a shoulder pole.
After putting the wooden box away, Da Niu took out the carrying pole, stood on the ground holding the pole in his hand, and he and A'er stood motionless behind An Yue.
At this moment, the guy who was scooping rice into bags looked up and saw several pairs of eyes staring at him.
He asked timidly: "Miss, they are...?"
An Yue turned her head to look at Daniu and A'er, who were staring at her intently.
An Yue couldn't help but smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, little brother! These are my eldest and second brothers, they are very kind."
An Yue thought and laughed secretly: [The waiter was disrespectful to An Yue before, and the waiter timidly thought that they were sent by An Yue to settle accounts with him.]
The guy said fearfully: "Uh... very kind, very kind..." Then he lowered his head and continued to scoop rice into the cloth bag.
After the waiter packed the items that An Yue bought, he hurried to the backyard and called the shopkeeper who was having lunch.
Soon the shopkeeper came and weighed the items that An Yue bought one by one.
After An Yue paid the money, A'er and Daniu carried the wooden box out of the shop.
After walking out of the shop, An Yue became more and more unhappy the more she thought about it.
If it weren't for the fact that they were carrying so many chickens and ducks, An Yue would have turned around and left long ago.
However, the disaster situation is complicated at the moment, and although the things I bought are a bit expensive, it’s good that I bought them.
After the three men came out of the shop and met Chunzhi, Daniu and Ale carried the backpacks containing the ducks, and then the two of them worked together to carry the wooden box and walked in front.
An Yue and Chun Zhi were also walking behind, carrying baskets of chickens and ducks.
Several people walked towards the cattle and horse post at the bridge head, preparing to take a mule cart home.
Chunzhi wiped the sweat off her cheeks as she walked, and said with a smile: "Miss, you bought so many things today, we won't be hungry in the future!"
After hearing what Chunzhi said, An Yue answered thoughtfully: "That's not necessarily true. The world is in chaos now. It depends on whether we can keep these things!"
Daniu, who was walking in front, said indignantly: "Don't worry, young lady. I... Daniu is here. If anyone dares to rob, I will break his...his arms and legs!"
Ale also quickly added: "And I, and I. With me and Daniu, we will definitely protect the young lady and this family."
In the eyes of Daniu and Ale, Anyue is just a weak little girl.
But only Chunzhi knew that Anyue knew kung fu.
Chunzhi smiled and said, "The young lady doesn't need you to protect her. You just need to protect these chickens and ducks and don't let them run into other people's mouths."
Ale said sincerely again: "We cannot deny that the young lady is smart. But in terms of height, the young lady is just a little girl after all."
"But please rest assured, young lady. You are our backbone. We will protect you even if we die."
Chunzhi was also assimilated by Ale's firm tone.
Chunzhi turned to look at Anyue and said seriously, "Miss, the three of us are rough people who have suffered a lot and were born to be cheap."
"Luckily we met you. You saved us from the sea of suffering and we are now living a carefree life. We will not let anyone destroy this beauty, and we will not let anyone hurt you!"
An Yue was deeply moved when she heard what they said.
She smiled warmly and said to them, "I know your loyalty, don't worry! With me here, our family will be safe."
The few of them talked and laughed along the way, and before they knew it they had arrived at the cattle and horse station at the bridgehead.
An Yue told Daniu and the other two, "You three wait here for me. I'll go find the mule cart."
After saying this, she walked towards the two mule carts parked side by side.
An Yue discussed with the two drivers.
……
An Yue thought about it and realized that there were too many things bought today and it would be inconvenient to move them around.
So she promised to give the two coachmen more money and asked them to take her directly to Baili Village, or even to the vicinity of her home.
Seeing that An Yue’s price was quite good, the two drivers nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, An Yue asked Daniu and the others to put the things on the mule carts one by one, and finally the four of them sat on two mule carts respectively.
The driver cracked his whip and the mule cart turned its axle - heading home.
At this time, it was already noon.
The sun is shining brightly and it's so hot that it makes people feel uneasy.
The mule cart was shaking constantly and the four people were already exhausted.
Everyone just wants to get home quickly, fill their stomachs and have a good sleep.
An Yue and Chun Zhi were riding in a mule cart, and Chun Zhi saw that An Yue looked a little tired.
So, he said to An Yue: "Miss, if you feel tired, just lean on Chunzhi's shoulder and take a nap for a while!"
"Good Chunzhi, I really have to rely on you then!"
Harue patted her shoulder and said 'hmm'.
An Yue leaned on Chunzhi's shoulder, closed her eyes lightly, and calculated the day's income and expenditure in her mind.
Not long after, An Yue fell asleep.
The mule cart suddenly stopped. An Yue opened her eyes and saw that it had arrived at the main road near her home.
After getting off the mule cart, several people paid the fare and went home.
To the doorstep.
"Sister-in-law, we are back!" An Yue shouted.
Meng Xiuer opened the door and asked with a smile, "Are you all hungry?"
"Sister-in-law, have you finished your lunch?"
Meng Xiuer smiled and said, "I thought you guys would be back soon, so I made lunch a little later. Look, I just finished it and was about to go to the main hall when you came back."
Only after everyone entered the yard did Meng Xiuer close the gate.
Everyone put down their backpacks and released the chickens and ducks inside.
Chunzhi, Daniu and the others immediately put away their backpacks, washed their hands, and went to the kitchen to get their bowls to prepare for lunch.
Meng Xiuer closed the door and looked at the chickens and ducks in the yard. She asked in confusion, "Yueyue, why did you buy so many chickens and ducks?"
An Yueqiao smiled and said, "Locusts are rampant now. We bought them back to help eliminate them!"
After hearing this, Meng Xiuer questioned, "Locusts can fly and jump, can these chickens and ducks catch up with them?"
“We may not be able to catch up with some of them, but they can kill the locust eggs in the soil.”
Meng Xiuer stood aside, waiting for An Yue to wash her hands and go to the main hall to eat together.
"Yueyue still has a way!"
"These hens will lay lots of eggs after eating the locusts. From now on, we will have more eggs than we can eat every day!"
An Yue washed her hands, took Meng Xiuer's hand and prepared to go to the main hall.
An Yue tilted her head and said to Meng Xiuer's belly, "Sister-in-law, eat more in the future, so that our baby can grow white and plump."
