Chapter 158 Learn now and sell now

While Ma Jin was still thinking about how Zhou Da could actually help the second master's family, he didn't expect that he would see an eye-opening scene the next evening.

When they arrived at their intended destination, Wu Yasi found that there were already people inside, and there was also the fragrant aroma of food wafting out. This discovery surprised everyone.

It was almost New Year's Eve, and there were very few people walking around. In addition, this was the northernmost place in Dali, so it was even more inaccessible. They met almost no one along the way.

Today this is the first time for a big girl to get into a sedan chair.

Just when Wu Yasi was hesitating whether to go in, the other party came out and got close to Wu Yasi enthusiastically.

Ma Jin looked at Zhou Da's familiar old face, and before he had time to be surprised, he watched the other party start to deceive people, first claiming that they were escorts hired by the wealthy businessman Yishuang. The other party's husband had an emergency and died.

They wanted to carry the coffin back to their hometown, so they hired these bodyguards to escort them. Then, by coincidence, their hometown was none other than Changli.

Then this person said that he had heard the name Wu Yasi for a long time, and what he most admired about Wu Yasi, a man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and full of righteousness...

Ah bah!

Having said this, Zhou Da had already ushered Wu Yasi and several officers in, and the others followed silently.

During this period, Zhou Da gave him a vague look, look at him, and learn from me!

After Zhou Da invited the people in, he wanted to treat them all to a good meal on the grounds that they had cooked too much rice. Wu Yasi couldn't bear to refuse with his warm and hospitable appearance.

So, even the prisoners were exposed to the light and had a delicious meal of bone and meat porridge.

Ma Jin: Is this still possible?

The next day, Zhou Da went with them on the grounds that the coffin was too heavy and the road was difficult to walk, but the official had a righteous spirit and could suppress evil spirits and ghost spirits.

What can Wu Yasi do? Their reasons are too legitimate to refuse. Besides, this road is not theirs.

Ma Jin's eyes widened. Is this okay?

After successfully achieving his goal, Zhou Da secretly winked at him, "How about it? Isn't Brother awesome?"

Ma Jin: ...Where did this girl learn? How did she become so cunning and cunning?

The brothers under Zhou Da snickered. They were almost copying the gourd and learning from the prince.

Next, Zhou Da performed various tricks every day. At the end of the journey together, Zhou Da and his team almost took over their three meals a day and also solved the problem of the children having difficulty walking.

Also, the officer surnamed Lin died. He died on the third night of their trip together. It is said that he had diarrhea. When he went to solve the three urgent needs of life, he accidentally stepped on the air and fell, unable to get up. He was in the wild.

Frozen to death.

Qin Yan did not expect that Zhou Da would be so adaptable. Since meeting him, the children have no longer suffered from hunger and cold. Their journey to exile has become smoother and smoother.

It was only after he arrived in Pingzhou that he found out that these techniques were all used by his sixth brother and sister, whom he had never met before. Zhou Da was also imitating tigers and imitating cats, learning and selling them now.

His wife, Mrs. Cai, was very curious about her and had a good impression of her. Because they both knew that without the timely medicine delivered by Zhou Da, their little daughter Qin Yun would not be cured of her illness, and her death would be a matter of time.

The couple were really curious about what kind of people the sixth brother and sister were, who could come up with so many tricks.

Ma Jin ate nougat and asked Zhou Da, "Has the prince already lived such a life?"

Zhou Da replied, "Well, life is much better at Prince Master's side than here. The Sixth Young Mistress is well prepared, and their food and drink expenses along the way are no worse than those of nobles from the Gaomen Courtyard."

Ma Jin and others expressed doubts.

"Why did I lie to you? The Yang Wei Escort arranged by the Sixth Young Mistress brought a dozen packed carriages with all kinds of supplies. The nougat in your mouth and the rice cakes in your hands are all

She asked me to take it. From time to time, Mr. Liu can also catch some game for a change, you can imagine those days."

Ma Jin and his brothers listened and even forgot to eat the bread in their hands, "Good guy!" They called him "Good guy!" Is this still exile?

"Old Zhou, how did you deal with Wu Yasi and why you became so cunning and cunning, did you learn it from the Sixth Young Mistress?" Ma Jin was really curious.

"Call Da Ge! What do you call Lao Zhou?" Then Zhou Da said proudly, "I did learn this trick from the Sixth Young Madam. The Sixth Young Madam once said that if we want to have a successful career, we must make friends

The more you do, the more enemies you will defeat." In fact, it was the prince who gave him a few words of advice, and he also learned about the series of behaviors of Yang Wei Escort before they met them. He thought about it along the way.

Ma Jin nodded, it is true, many friends have many paths, many enemies have many walls.

"It doesn't matter even if the other party is not our friend at first. Let's be more proactive. As long as we wield the hoe well, we can't dig out any corners." This was the first time he applied what he learned. Look, they gave Wu Yasi

Have you fought for it? The effect is amazing.

Ma Jin: That makes sense.

"What should I do if the other person doesn't like me, or even has a problem with me?"

"As long as there is no mortal enemy, we can fight for more."

"What if there is a deadly feud?"

Zhou Da said categorically, "Then hit him hard and kill him. They are all sworn enemies. What else are you thinking about?" Just look at the Sixth Young Mistress, how has she ever been soft on the Xie family and the Zhao family?

****

Lu Songli and his party, just as Zhou Da said, the journey ahead will be extremely smooth.

After leaving Gunzhou, when they entered the territory of Jizhou, it was spring.

In early spring, many wild vegetables appear in the mountains and fields. The first one to appear is shepherd's purse, followed by white cauliflower, gray cabbage, sophora japonica, wild celery, malantou, toona sinensis, etc.

Because they have enough time, they are not in a hurry. Their convoy stops and goes, digging some wild vegetables along the road. After finding a suitable place to stay in the evening, they will check in early. During this period, dinner will mainly focus on seasonal wild vegetables.

For example, the dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse and pork are extremely delicious. Boil the white cauliflower into vegetable soup, break the greens, crack a few eggs and add some salt, and the pot is ready. The taste is fragrant and sweet...

These wild vegetables are prepared under the guidance of Lu Songli, and each dish has a very unique taste.

The children were also raised very well. The meat they lost in the first few days of hardship has long since been replenished, and now they are all jumping up and down with rosy cheeks.

On this day, the sun was setting just right. After everyone had dinner, they spread out and moved around freely.

The few servants had enough to eat and drink, and sat by the river with their stomachs full, watching the sunset and chatting away.

"Brother Ding, you are fat."

The man named Brother Ding rolled his eyes at him and said, "Xiao Lu, you're talking as if you're not fat."

In fact, they privately lamented more than once that this trip was really the most relaxing and enjoyable trip in their escort career, just like a free trip. The food and drinks were delicious, and they rode in a carriage almost the entire journey, and occasionally walked.

It is used as a physical exercise.

Xiao Lu said, "Brother Ding, further ahead is Youzhou." After Youzhou is Pingzhou.

Brother Ding couldn't help but touch his belly, "Yeah." He was extremely melancholy. He didn't know how much of his belly would be left when he returned home.

Xiao Lu said sadly, "We won't have such good treatment on the return trip." As the saying goes, it's easy to go from luxury to luxury, but it's difficult to go from luxury to luxury. They were worried before they even returned.

Brother Ding glanced at him with disdain, "Of course, you want to ride in a carriage when you go back? You are so beautiful." They have a horse, the only one, horses are more precious than people.

But then again, it makes me sad to think about the fact that when they go back, they have to walk more than three thousand miles.

Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same. At this time, on the other side, Lu Songli was directing Lu Mingzhi to dig wild vegetables with a hoe.

Qin Jia, Qin Han and several other children gathered around her and stuck their heads out to see, "Auntie, can you eat this dish too?"

Lu Songli nodded, "Okay, this wild vegetable is called spur root. It is covered with sharp thorns. Most animals dare not approach it. You should not touch it with your hands."

Qin Jia asked again, "Then how do you eat this spur root?" Why does it not taste good?

Lu Songli: "We can use its roots to stew chicken and drink soup. Anyone who has eaten it will find it difficult to forget its taste." Its roots are indeed very thick, and adults usually point to the thickness, which is a bit similar to Codonopsis pilosula.

Qin Zhen, the youngest, answered, "But Aunt Six, there are no chickens in our carriage."

Lu Songli thought about how Mo Bing said something to her after finishing the last three chickens two days ago. Unexpectedly, the little ones heard her and remembered it.

Five-year-old Qin Yu waved his little hand and said rather proudly, "Uncle Six, go and catch him!"

In the children's minds, Uncle Six and Aunt Six are very powerful. Aunt Six knows a lot of things. As long as Uncle Six goes out, he can catch a lot of delicious food, everything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, and swims in the water.

"Okay, let's make arrangements and let your sixth uncle catch him." Lu Songli smiled and accepted the job for him.

Qin Sheng, who just walked over:...

He was spotted by the sharp-eyed Qin Zhen. The little girl stretched out her white fingers, pointed at the spur roots and shouted, "Uncle Liu, go catch the pheasants and stew them."

Qin Sheng said helplessly, "How many pheasants do you want?"

"Two!" Qin Yu said loudly.

Qin Han secretly pulled him and said, "Fourth brother, you are so stupid. Two of them are not enough to eat."

"Those four?" Qin Yu stretched out five fingers.

"Idiot, this is five, this is four!" Qin Han pressed his thumb back.

Lu Songli watched them bickering with a smile. She raised her eyes to meet Qin Sheng's gaze staring at her and said with a smile, "I have to get seven or eight pheasants no matter what." After all, there were forty or fifty of them.

"Mom, the sixth brother and sister are really patient with these children." Nie Yunniang, who was putting the children to sleep, said with a smile. When the children are cute, they are indeed painful, but when they have a tantrum, they really make people want to beat them twice more.

Mother Qin, who was sewing, looked up and said with a smile, "Ah Li is indeed patient."

Lu Songli took them to dig wild vegetables, allowing the children to learn about many edible wild vegetables along the way.

Many adults did not expect that there were so many edible things growing in the mountains. Moreover, under the guidance of Lu Songli, the escort brothers who were good at cooking found that the food tasted surprisingly good.

After realizing Lu Songli's erudition, the three brothers of the Qin family also followed her and learned to identify edible wild vegetables and wild animals. They have been leading troops in battles all year round, and they are very aware of what the army will face when the food and grass supplies are insufficient or untimely.

This is a dilemma. If they learn more now, they might be able to save their lives in the future.

Usually after Lu Songli taught his two eldest brothers Qin Heng and Qin Zhao, he would take Qin Sheng aside to teach alone.

Every time at this time, Qin Zhao couldn't help but joke, "Sixth brother and sister, you don't need to open a small stove for him. If he leads the troops and gets lost or trapped, he will definitely not be short of food and drink." God hurts me.

He couldn't bear to starve him, and would feed him to his mouth. Only the wild vegetables could not be found by him, and it was impossible for him to find the wild vegetables.

Just as Lu Songli was about to reply with a smile, Qin Sheng pulled her away.

At this time, Qin Zhaozhun was about to say a few words in a false tone, "Xiao Liuzi is destined to have a good life."

Qin Heng nodded, "Xiao Liu's luck path is indeed good."
