Feng Wu chuckled. "Not at all. It's not like I can keep these things."
Madam Li agreed with her and said, "It's just that I'm so sorry to see you hand over 50 kilograms of wheat flour."
Both sides were pasting pancakes.
However, because of Gao Mingjiang's order, Madam Li really used pure white flour to make pancakes, but the old lady didn't.
How precious was white flour? How could she bear to make pure white flour pancakes? The old lady had mixed corn flour, sorghum flour, and other coarse grains into the pancakes. The pancakes were quickly pasted in a large basin.
Because along the way, there was not much time for them to stop to rest and cook. Everyone ran as fast as they could, because no one knew when the plague behind them would spread, and no one knew when the Southern Yan Kingdom would come to capture them.
Mrs. Li used fifty to sixty catties of flour to make a total of three hundred white flour pancakes. She was almost exhausted, but when she saw the pancakes being made one by one, her eyes lit up, because having food meant that she could live.
Madam Li put the cooled pancakes into a sack and handed it to Feng Wu.
Feng Wu waved her hand. "I didn't bring that much. Just leave it with Aunt Si. I'll go get it if you want. "
Madam Li knew that Feng Wu would have to get in their carriage, so she nodded and helped Feng Wu put the pancakes into the carriage.
Feng Wu looked at the three carriages curiously.
She could tell from their conversation that they were ordinary farmers. A farmer with a cow was already a big deal, but the Gao family had three carriages.
Seeing Feng Wu's confusion, Madam Li explained with a smile, "My husband … picked up these three carriages."
Picked up?
Seeing Feng Wu's confusion, Madam Li whispered in Feng Wu's ear and told her about their most dangerous experience so far.
It turned out that they had only been out of Southern Yan for a few days when they ran into bandits. The bandits were attacking a rich family, and many of them were injured or killed.
Both sides were evenly matched in strength, and both sides suffered similar losses. In the end, the robbers killed the last person from the rich family, and they didn't have much left.
At that moment, Gao Mingjiang took the lead. He let the robbers go. He stole three carriages and ran. As for the boxes in the rich family's house, it wasn't that they didn't want to take them. It was just that the rich family would rather die than burn them.
"But with these three carriages, we've sped up a lot. Originally, it would have taken us ten days to travel, but now, we've arrived in three to four days."
Feng Wu asked, "Can't a carriage go twice as fast?"
Madam Li bitterly smiled: "Originally, it would be much faster, but we have a lot of people in our family. How can we sit down with 30 people? That's why the elderly and children sit in the car. Our food, pots, bowls, ladles, and basins are all stuffed to the brim. As for us, we still have to walk on our own. "
At this time, it was almost noon. A young man came to inform them that they would be on their way in a quarter of an hour.
Feng Wu recognized the young man, and Madam Li was also saying to Feng Wu, "This is our fifth son, Gao Ming Kun."
Feng Wu nodded.
Gao Mingkun took another look at Feng Wu, feeling that the little beggar looked familiar.
He narrowed his eyes. "Have we met before?"
Feng Wu's heart skipped a beat, and she said indifferently, "Really? Why didn't I know? "
Madam Li said in a hurry, "Fifth Brother, you must be mistaken. Miss Feng has been sick in the cave all this time. I don't think you've met her."
