Chapter 799: Going to the County

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Muyu nodded to show his understanding. The Xiang family was simple and did not have the courage to invest so much. Naturally, the family could survive, and they would not starve to death.

With the wood ears, the Xiang family could slowly live a better life.

Therefore, she did not say anything more and only reminded Xiang Zhifu not to give too much.

Seeing him leave with the hoe, Ye Muyu was worried and called Zhang Shu to help.

Two hours passed…

The queue was getting smaller and smaller.

However, there were quite a number of people who stayed in the Xiang family. Some of them sold wood ears worth a total of a few hundred copper coins, while some earned one to two taels of silver.

This was not a small amount of income.

The villagers were happy and wanted to stay and talk.

By the time they were done, it was almost noon. However, Chu Heng’s luggage had already been prepared.

Ye Muyu sent the two children to the carriage first.

Only then did she stand beside the carriage with Chu Heng and bid farewell to Chu Xingjun and her family.

Xiang Ling’er also brought two bags this time. Inside were clothes to change into and some food.

Since Xiang Ling’er was going to stay with the Chu family, Xiang Zhifu was naturally embarrassed that his daughter was eating and drinking for free. He thought of sending food to Chu Heng’s house once every ten days to half a month.

Ye Muyu did not stop him. After all, it was just a small matter.

“Eldest Aunt, Eldest Uncle, you don’t need to send them over. You just need to continue baking the wood ears. Tomorrow, my family’s accountant will come over to collect them,” Ye Muyu said gently.

Chu Xingjun and Xiang Zhifu hurriedly nodded.

Ye Muyu did not delay any longer and brought Xiang Ling’er onto the carriage.

Chu Heng and Du Heng sat in the same car.

It was convenient to go directly to the county this time.

After the carriage left, the villagers dispersed and went home to bake the fungus.

After more than two hours, they arrived at the county.

They spent their lunchtime in the carriage.

“Ling’er, Ziluo, Lil’ Jin, come and have some bacon and bean rice.” Ye Muyu smiled gently and took out five metal boxes from the middle of the luggage.

Xiang Ling’er reached out to take it. She touched the box and was slightly worried. “Sister-in-law, the food is cold. Should we stop and heat it up?”

“No need, no need.” Ye Muyu smiled and shook her head.

Xiang Ling ‘er was confused.

Ziluo reached out for a metal box and explained to her enthusiastically, “Aunt, learn from me. Open the lid first, then slowly pour the cold water in, and then close the box. At this time, you can’t touch the metal box. It will be very hot.”

The originally quiet metal box slowly began to emit steam.

Xiang Ling’er was shocked.

She protected Lil’ Jin and Ziluo, not letting them get close.

When the steam dissipated, Ye Muyu took out a handkerchief and opened the iron lid. The fragrance of meat wafted out. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

“This… How did it heat up?” Xiang Ling’er was shocked.

Chu Ziluo bent over and scooped some rice out with a spoon. She fed it to her Xiang Ling’er. “Aunt, the lime in this will give off steam when it comes into contact with water. Then, the rice will be ready to be heated.”

“Who came up with this idea?” Xiang Ling’er exclaimed and asked curiously.

“It’s mother.”

Xiang Ling’er looked at Ye Muyu with admiration.

Ye Muyu only wanted to make it easier to travel. This was just a simplified version of the later generation’s talent, so she naturally would not accept praise. “I read it from some random books, so I gave it a try. I didn’t expect it to work.”

“Hurry up and eat.”

All the food in the lunchboxes was ready.

Ye Muyu wrapped them in cloth and handed the other two boxes to Zhang Shu and Han Zhuang who were driving the carriage.

The two of them naturally knew about heating the lunchboxes. After thanking Ye Muyu, they took the lunchboxes.
