The person who came was a man in his thirties or forties with a rough appearance. Behind her, there was a woman in her thirties and two children of eleven or twelve years old. There were four people in a carriage, but the horse pulling the carriage was only one.
One horse.
"Thank you, we brought our own dry food."
Tang Ruyue didn't want to go there. They did not buy rice, noodles or other items, they only brought dry food and water.
"How can we survive this long walk with only dry food? Why don't we come over and cook some hot food together." The middle-aged man invited warmly.
They were cordially invited, so Tang Ruyue and the other three had to get out of the car. The two families introduced each other. The man's name was Wei Xiang, and they introduced his wife and two children.
Tang Ruyue found that Madam Wei was not happy when Wei Xiang asked them to come for dinner. She felt a little uncomfortable and thought about leaving.
Tang Die saw Mrs. Wei cooking, so she walked over to help. Tang Ruyue stood aside and watched habitually.
Suddenly a voice rang in my ears: "Why are you so lazy? Your sisters come over to do things, but you, the older sister, stand there like a big tree."
The person who spoke was one of the couple's two children. It seemed that the man had introduced him, his name was Wei Wenjie, he was twelve years old, and his brother was two years younger than him, his name was Wei Wenbin. The two boys were playing.
A kind of game of playing with a stone. Seeing Tang Ruyue standing still, she started playing.
Tang Ruyue couldn't help but laugh: "Don't you have work too?"
Wei Wenjie immediately retorted: "I am a man, and men do big things. You women should do such small things as cooking."
Tang Ruyue smiled: "You are not a man yet, and you cannot do big things, so you should start with small things. Besides, if your family invites us to dinner, is there any reason for the guests to do it?"
Wei Wenjie tilted his head and listened, seeming to think that what Tang Ruyue said made sense, so he put down his hammer and whip and went to help his mother wash the vegetables.
Madam Wei was very surprised and glanced at Tang Ruyue. Tang Ruyue was afraid that she would notice something fishy, so she hurriedly knelt down to wash the vegetables.
The staple food for lunch is stuffed rice, and the vegetables are scrambled eggs and pickled cabbage soup. This kind of food is not easy to spoil, so I like to take it with me on long trips.
Tang Ruyue took out some of the snacks she had brought - when Tang Ruyue left, she asked Aunt Qiang to make more than two hundred kilograms of various snacks to take with her. Anyway, they wouldn't break if placed in the ring.
Wei Wenjie and Wei Wenbin's eyes lit up when they saw those beautiful snacks.
Madam Wei finally saw a smile on her face: she had seen this kind of snacks before, selling for one tael of silver per catty. The snacks Tang Ruyue brought out weighed at least three kilograms. The value of these snacks far exceeded what she provided.
This meal is worth about twenty copper coins.
After lunch, we continued on our way, but it began to rain. The road was muddy and difficult to walk on. Wei Xiang's horse was too thin and could not pull the cart when there was a bump. The Wei family's carriage gradually fell behind.
When Tang Ruyue saw it, she pulled Taxue who was following behind the carriage, replaced the skinny horse, and finally caught up with the horse team.
Wei Xiang quickly thanked him.
At midnight, when passing a small town, the cavalry stopped.
However, there are only two small inns in this town, where can these people stay? Only more than a hundred people in the caravan stayed in the inn, and the others set up tents outside.
Naturally, the people following the caravan couldn't stay in the inn. Some people stayed in tents, but most of them stayed in their own carriages.
Tang Ruyue and the other three didn't do anything special. The three of them lived together in their big carriage.
A two-horse carriage is much wider than an ordinary one-horse carriage.
