Ye Juechen just acted as if he didn't hear it, he was just shameless, no one could learn that.
Ye Yibai could shamelessly frame him and say that he would beat him, so that was nothing to him.
Soon, Ye Juechen's food was baked quickly, and the guard cut it into small pieces piece by piece with a knife and handed it over on a delicate plate.
Ye Juechen was not stingy and said to Hua Yanxi, "Yours is not ready yet, let's eat together first."
Before Hua Yanxi refused, Ye Yibai on the side had already ridiculed: "If you give us this small favor now, do you still want to taste our food later? You think so, we
I won’t eat it.”
After saying that, he looked at Hua Yanxi again: "Yanyan, we can't be fooled by this."
Hua Yanxi was speechless. When he said this, it was really hard to refuse.
Seeing that Hua Yanxi didn't speak, Ye Yibai immediately looked at her: "You really don't want to give it to him, do you? This is ours and I don't want to give it to him."
Hua Yanxi approached him and whispered: "We have to rely on him to go to Xishan, and there is also the matter of digging the canal later. We have to give him some sweetness, so just share it."
Ye Yibai frowned, and after thinking about it carefully, he could only reluctantly whisper in her ear: "It can't be too much, just a little bit."
Ye Juechen: "..."
Your whispers are so quiet that everyone present can hear them.
Ye Juechen immediately stood up, took the plate and left coldly.
Behind the scenes, Ye Yibai was still saying: "Yan Yan, look, he left on his own, not me."
Hua Yanxi: "..."
Soon, the barbecue on their side was also roasted. After a few people divided it, they sat by the fire and ate happily.
"The meat is so tender and not as dry as the ones I grilled before."
"Not bad, I didn't expect it would taste so good after adding these things."
The guards sitting at another fire praised him one after another.
By the time the barbecue was finished, the beggar's chicken buried in the soil was already cooked. When Hua Yanxi knocked off the soil outside and uncovered the lotus leaves, a fresh fragrance suddenly hit her.
Hua Yanxi pulled one thigh and handed it to Ye Yibai, then pulled the other one and handed it to Ah Yu: "Give this to the Seventh Prince."
Ye Yibai bit into the chicken and stared at A Yu's back, indignantly, but didn't say anything.
After Ye Juechen finished his meal, he returned to the carriage to rest. He heard the negotiations between the guards on both sides outside the carriage curtain without making a sound.
Soon, the refining box was opened, and a chicken leg was handed in on a plate: "Master, this is sent by the fifth prince's concubine."
Ye Juechen snorted coldly: "Weasel pays New Year's greetings to Rooster."
Even though he said that, he asked about the fragrance and still took it.
He opened the curtain, glanced at the people sitting by the fire, then lowered the curtain and started eating.
It was foggy and cold in the mountains at night. Several guards sat under the trees next to the fire to rest, while Hua Yanxi and Ye Yibai rested in the spacious carriage.
It was relatively early at this time, far from the time to go to bed. Hua Yanxi was sitting and reading with her quilt covered, while Ye Yibai was reclining there and looking at her.
Hua Yanxi's eyes were still on the page of the book, and she said without looking at it: "If you are free, go for a few laps and don't stare at me like that."
Ye Yibai said: "Yanyan, I can't sleep, why don't we come and chat."
"What are you talking about?" Hua Yanxi said casually.
Ye Yibai cautiously tried to test: "If I had given in half the time last night, we would have made a meal out of raw rice..."
"Stop it, don't mention what happened last night again." Hua Yanxi's face darkened.
Ye Yibai complained that she was so sensitive that she couldn't even mention it.
"That......"
"I'm sleepy, go to sleep." Hua Yanxi said, put down the book and lay down.
If the carriage behind them hadn't been loaded with junk, she would have kicked him out directly. She had never seen such a weak-sighted person.
Hua Yanxi lay down and looked at the roof of the carport. Some pictures involuntarily entered her mind, and those pictures became clearer and clearer.
How she was clingy when drunk, how she walked to the screen, and then she saw...
Thinking of this, Hua Yanxi quickly shook her head to shake away those memories.
She couldn't stop thinking about it. She didn't remember anything about last night!
Suddenly, a man's surprised voice came to my ears: "Yanyan, what's wrong with you? Your face is so red all of a sudden?"
Hua Yanxi subconsciously touched her face and found that her cheeks were hot.
"I'm fine." Hua Yanxi said quickly.
Ye Yibai added: "Even your neck is red, you must be sick, right?"
As he said that, he reached out and touched her forehead: "It's a little hot. Is it because of the wind?"
"Well, probably." Hua Yanxi said, turning her head and turning her back to him, just enough for Ye Yibai to see her red ears.
Ye Yibai thought that she had nothing to do just now, but she was suddenly in a daze for a while.
Thinking of this, Ye Yibai leaned forward and said in her ear: "You are not remembering something, are you? Could it be...oh."
Ye Yibai held his stomach and let out a groan, but didn't say anything else.
Hua Yanxi is a real kidnapper, and even a martial arts practitioner like Ye Yibai is a bit overwhelmed at the moment.
Ye Yibai understood even with his blank eyes, Hua Yanxi became angry from embarrassment, and lay quietly beside her without speaking.
In the next few days, they traveled smoothly and found an inn to stay overnight.
Ye Juechen didn't pay attention at first, but when he got up one day, he saw Hua Yanxi and Ye Yibai coming out of a different room, and he instantly understood something.
So, when facing Ye Yibai, he showed a mocking smile.
It was a safe journey to Xishan. The official in charge of the Xishan Salt Field received the news in advance and was waiting at the door to greet him.
Hua Yanxi looked at this cottage-like place, but she really didn't expect it.
The residence was built on a mountainside for shelter from the wind, and it was still an hour and a half away from the salt field.
All the salt will be transported here after being refined, and then loaded on horse-drawn carriages for transportation.
When you arrive at the factory where the salt is stored, you can open a bag and you will see pieces of salt, just like stones.
These salts are produced by accumulation over many years, so they condense into blocks. These are natural salt blocks that require manual excavation, but are relatively easy to excavate.
Some are even as big as millstones and need to be broken into pieces before they can be packed into bags for transportation.
Hua Yanxi had already seen it in the market before coming here.
Salt is expensive and scarce, so people have to be frugal and spend a long time just to buy a piece.
Either the surface is ground off and used for cooking, or it is crushed and used. There are many impurities in it, and the proportion of sodium chloride in it is not high.
It's not pure white, but yellow and white.
There is also a kind of salt particles that are naturally dried and sun-dried from sea water.
"Are these considered to have been successfully refined?" Hua Yanxi asked.
