The grain team that transported the grain was very large, and there were more than 200 soldiers dressed as officers on both sides. Weigh your own ability.
The cook who transported the grain was so tired that he was covered in sweat, his face had turned red, and the sweat had already wet his clothes.
When I saw a tea shop next to the inn in front of me, I was overjoyed.
"Master, you are tired after transporting food for so long, why don't you rest for a while before heading out?"
The chef leader smiled and leaned forward to communicate with the leader of the soldiers guarding the food.
They are all made of flesh and blood, not made of steel, so much food was transported from Meng County to this place in a hurry. The body and spirit of all the cooks were exhausted, but these soldiers on horses were still blind. Whoever walks slowly is a whip.
Fortunately, Hejian County is already close at hand, and it will be more than half a day's journey to get there.
Otherwise, if it continues like this, sooner or later someone will be exhausted to death.
The leader of the soldiers who was responsible for escorting the food was the squire who had been deliberately spared by Jiang Pengji before.
He was eager to take the blame and make merit, and after receiving the task of escorting the grain, he always squeezed the physical strength of the grain transporters, urging them to hurry day and night, hoping to rescue Meng Ye as soon as possible... As the day went by, he became more and more uneasy in his heart. He always felt that things would change after a long time. With his eagerness to seek credit, he naturally couldn't see the tiredness on the face of the grain transporter.
Even if he saw it, he wouldn't care.
Only a few cooks, can they be compared with the Erlang of the Meng family
If something happens to Meng Ye because these people are slow, who will take the responsibility
However, it is only half a day's journey from Hejian County, and his anxiety has eased a lot. In addition, he also feels a little tired, so he simply waved his hand and let the entire food team rest for the time being. Half an hour.
After getting the answer, the chef leader rushed to shout to the chef at the back of the team.
"All hands and feet are quicker. There is a tea shop in front. Let's go there to rest and drink a bowl of tea."
As soon as everyone heard it, the momentum came instantly, and the long grain team was like a wriggling bug, and slowly moved closer to the tea shop.
The tea shop here often receives caravans from south to north, and we have seen big scenes.
The proprietress quickly put on a smile and greeted a few soldiers who entered the tea shop, while the other soldiers found a place to sit outside.
Seeing that the proprietress was busy, Jiang Pengji stood up under Qi Guanrang's ghostly eyes, with a kind and honest smile on her face.
"Madam, why don't I help you... Hey, I'm in a hurry to go out. I forgot to bring my copper."
The proprietress looked her up and down, smiled, and seemed very enthusiastic, "It happens that I am busy here, so I will bring a few bowls of tea to the military master outside... Do it well, if you are clumsy, you will have to double compensation... "
Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "Don't worry, I go to the ground every day at home, and my hands and feet are numb."
If it is replaced by something a little mean, it is estimated that the account should be settled. You can't even drink a penny of tea. Why do you come here
However, Jiang Pengji could see at a glance that although this proprietress had a mean face, she was a knife-mouthed, tofu-hearted person, and was very warm and thoughtful. Sometimes when the traveler has no money to pay for tea, she will generously waive it.
In the cold weather, they will even cook ginger soup to ward off the cold.
Guan Qi was stunned and watched Jiang Pengji leave the tea shop with a large bowl of tea, and easily mixed into the grain team. In the name of delivering tea, he secretly observed the contents of the grain cart, with a warm smile on his face. Like a changed person.
Is this... is that the son of Liu County's guard, Liu Xi, whom he knew
Some people believe that she is a wild boy from a farm family, right
On this side, Qi Guanrang was an eye-opener, while Jiang Pengji on the other side gained a lot.
Relying on the opportunity to send a large bowl of tea, she seemed to complain and chat, and slowly extracted important information from the mouths of several chefs.
Of course, the chefs who leaked their words didn't realize this, after all, there were soldiers who were escorting the food by their side.
"Hey, I said you're a wild doll, why are you so curious about it?" A soldier raised his head and poured a bowl of tea, but he still felt a little thirsty at the end, so he asked Jiang Pengji to give him another bowl, "I'll give him another bowl. Here comes the bowl, I'm dying of thirst..."
Another soldier smiled and said, "Isn't this not seen in the big world? It doesn't matter if people are curious and ask a few questions."
Anyway, I didn't ask any serious questions, just answer them.
Jiang Pengji responded with kindness, "Two bowls of tea, two wait a moment."
Qi Guanrang looked at Jiang Pengji swiftly busy everywhere. If he hadn't known that this person had other purposes, he might have misunderstood... However, a noble son of a noble family was struggling to do this in order to obtain intelligence information.
He laughed dumbly. After half an hour, Jiang Pengji, who had been non-stop for a while, had a chance to sit down. The food team had already set off again.
"You're really...why..." Qi Guanrang said with tears in his eyes.
"If you don't do this, it's not easy to approach." Jiang Pengji had been busy for so long, and her mouth was dry. After drinking a bowl of tea, she felt a little cooler. She whispered to Qi Guanrang, "The food team has no food. The problem, and it's not two thousand stone, but more than three thousand stone! Meng Shi is really generous, I just don't know... Will they be able to laugh in two days."
Officer Qi raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "I only see that you are busy going around, busy talking to people, and you have never really approached the grain cart that was guarded by the soldiers. How can you know that the grain is not a problem... Even the exact amount is not available. clear… "
Jiang Pengji said, "This is not easy. Look at the depth of the weight of the wheels. The same bags of rice grains and sand have different weights. If I go to the cooks, I can roughly calculate the total amount of grain in their grain team... "
Don't look at Jiang Pengji's busyness, in fact, she is multitasking.
She added in a low voice, "Of course, I took the opportunity to approach the food team, not to see the food..."
Qi Guan made him suspicious for a moment. He approached the food team, and the main purpose was not to see the food
What is that for
He frowned slightly and began to recall Jiang Pengji's actions during this period, hoping to guess her true intentions.
"Don't continue to think about it, I'm here to send something. If you don't take this opportunity to send it, it's inconvenient to do it at other times, and it's easy to arouse suspicion..." Jiang Pengji drank tea with a smile. fox.
Send something like... something
