Chapter 150 Harmony Brings Wealth, Business Won't Be Bad
A pile of rocks, as the name suggests, is a place with many stones.
The stones here are not only numerous but also large; some boulders are as tall as a wall.
Moreover, these boulders are all on the leeward side, blocking the strong winds for everyone. This is a real haven, and Lord Zhu ordered everyone to stop and stay here overnight.
As is customary, once the prisoners' activity area is defined, each family can set up their own quarters and start cooking.
The Wen family's location on the edge of the area was a real haven, sheltered by huge rocks on two sides. They only needed to secure the cart to the other two sides to build a stone house that would satisfy their family.
To be honest, the Wen family was very satisfied with this place. Although it was on the edge of the border, which was the front line of danger, the place was big enough and had a good view. They could feel any movement immediately.
After the men of the Wen family discussed and agreed on their plan, they began to take action.
The women were busy preparing the meal.
Soon, the constables shouted loudly, "Get your coarse cakes! Everyone come quickly, or they'll be gone! Hurry up!"
Upon hearing the announcement, the prisoners hurriedly lined up to receive their prizes.
The regular duo who get the cakes from the Wen family, Wen Qikang and Yao Changhao, put down the last of their work and hurriedly joined the queue.
At this moment, in front of the tent and stone house on the side of the yamen runners, there was a large basket of coarse flatbread and a small basket of white steamed buns.
The constable, grinning broadly as he looked at the people lining up for their flatbreads, announced, "Listen up, everyone! Today we're offering white flour steamed buns, one tael of silver each. Limited quantities available, first come, first served. If you need any, come over here and line up to pay."
"By the way, those who buy white flour steamed buns can get the flatbread first. Don't underestimate this short time; the flatbread is still warm now, but it might get cold and frozen solid later. If you've thought it through, come over."
Families with plenty of money, families with a sweet tooth, and families in a hurry all lined up.
"Give me one."
"I want one too."
"I want three."
......
The small basket of steamed buns sold out quickly.
The flatbreads were quickly distributed.
Wen Qikang and Yao Changhao carried warm coarse flatbread and three white steamed buns, braving the cold wind as they returned to their stone house.
The food from our own home has just been served.
The two had just put down the coarse flatbread and three white steamed buns.
Sharp-eyed Wenwen pointed at the steamed bun and asked, "Third Uncle, what's this?"
Wen Qikang laughed and said, "Are you stupid? You don't even recognize a white steamed bun?"
Wenwen looked curious and pointed outside, "Of course I know it, I'm just curious, what's going on outside? Tell me!"
The whole family listened intently, waiting for the two to continue.
Yao Changhao instantly activated his storytelling mode, launching into a long and eloquent narration of what had just happened.
In conclusion, he added, "Wow, their business is really booming! Harmony brings wealth, that old saying is so true!"
After hearing this, Wenwen chimed in, "That's true. With your help, business won't be bad!"
"Haha... Wen'er is right."
"Come on, everyone, try these warm, coarse breads."
Yes, the Wen family never wasted any of the coarse bread they received. Even though they knew they had plenty of food, everyone tacitly finished their allotted portions of coarse bread, bite by bite.
In Wenwen's opinion, whole grain cakes are a good thing. Haven't you seen modern experts recommending that everyone eat more whole grains every day?
A hearty meal, paired with whole grains, makes for a nutritious dinner.
After the Wen family finished eating, they continued to work hard as usual.
After resting late at night, Wenwen secretly went back to her online space to work hard.
Despite the howling winds outside, everyone inside the stone house slept soundly through the night.
The next day, the gale had stopped, and the sky was pitch black with no stars or moon. All the prisoners, carrying torches, continued on their way.
As we walked, the sky gradually brightened; normally, it should be fully bright by this time.
But the sky was overcast, and the more the group headed north, the colder it got.
The constables, mimicking yesterday's actions, shouted, "Hey, you in front, run! Hurry, hurry!"
The Wen family had another opportunity to practice their skills, and everyone cherished this opportunity.
They all started running, moving, and practicing.
They ran until late at night, found a place to rest, and continued the next day.
Several days passed like this.
On this day, the group had just passed through a mountain valley.
A gust of north wind blew by, and fine snowflakes drifted down from the sky.
Snowing.
This snowfall signifies that the team has officially entered the northern territory.
Soon, the snowflakes grew larger, and before you knew it, everything around you was slowly covered in white snow, as if the world had been purified.
Looking at this pure beauty, Wenwen couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, so beautiful!"
"Sister, what's so beautiful? Can I take a look?"
Wenwen turned her head to look at the cart and saw a furry head peeking out.
Wenqing, the youngest daughter of my third uncle, looked like she had just woken up, her cheeks were rosy, and she was blinking at me.
Wenwen: ......
Wow, the little girl has sharp ears! She just gave a casual compliment, which piqued her curiosity!
Since you're interested, let's take a look.
Wenwen looked at the wind and snow outside. It was alright. The children in her Wen family couldn't be hothouse flowers. This little bit of wind and snow was nothing to them.
"Come out if you want to see."
"it is good!"
A child's excited voice rang out.
A beautifully sculpted little girl was lifted off a cart.
The child was wearing a slightly thick cotton coat, deerskin boots, and a fluffy red hat.
As soon as she stepped onto the ground, she ran over and grabbed Wenwen's hand, looking around with her eyes and sweetly saying, "Sister, it's so white, so beautiful! Is it white in front of you too?"
Wenwen: ......
You little brat, you glanced at it and immediately said it was beautiful. If you want to play, just say so. Don't use the scenery in front of you as an excuse.
She glanced at the carriage ahead, which was nowhere to be seen, and at the Wen family leader, who was also nowhere to be seen, before turning back to look at the other prisoners following closely behind her.
He picked up the little girl and said, "Hold on tight to your sister."
Wenwen channeled her spiritual energy to her feet and ran far away in a flash.
This rapid departure made Wenqing, who was on his back, giggle.
The children's happy laughter instantly filled the road.
Wenwen, relying on her intelligence, caught up with Wen Qilin ahead of her.
At this moment, Wen Qilin and his group were sitting behind a sheltered hillside, waiting for everyone.
Wenwen, holding the little girl, plopped down next to Wen Qilin, "Phew, finally caught up with you guys, phew..."
Even if her spiritual power was decent, carrying a child this far would still be quite tiring.
Wenwen leaned against the hillside, closed her eyes to rest, and gently stroked the child's fluffy hat with her fingers, her mind slowly going blank.
Suddenly, her eyes snapped open, she sat up straight, and hurriedly turned her head to look around.
Her sudden series of movements prompted Wen Qilin, who was standing beside her, to hurriedly ask, "What's wrong?"
