The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

Jiang Yan sighed. "The most lacking thing in this land is food." She wondered how they'd survive the winter after this war.

Jiang Yan thought about taking it one step at a time, as there are always more solutions than problems.

Just thinking about today, she couldn't go there empty-handed.

Jiang Yan went to the kitchen and saw the three sisters putting the cooked horse meat in a basin. She took out a piece and chopped it into small pieces. She also chopped the wild onions, garlic and ginger into small pieces and put them aside for later use.

After she heated up the oil, she sautéed wild onions, garlic and ginger, added some homemade seasonings and a crushed red pepper, then poured in the chopped horse meat and stir-fried it quickly.

The aroma was immediately aroused. Jiang Yan didn't want the fragrance to confuse the children, so she poured half a jar of bean paste into it.

Jiang Yan was afraid that there wouldn't be enough sauce to share, so she added a large bucket of water.

After a while, as the sauce in the pot boiled, steam bubbling out, and the fragrance spread again.

The two sisters of the Ye family were awakened by the fragrance. The spicy smell woke them up one after another.

As Ye Zhen'er was getting dressed, she whispered to her sister, "Sister, what did Auntie make? It smells so good."

Yichen, still half asleep and still unable to open her eyes, answered for her elder sister. "My mother is frying meat sauce."

"Meat sauce?"

"Yeah. Spicy, salty and fragrant, the sisters will like it." Yi Chen said very confidently, shaking the tuft of unyielding ahoge on her head.

When Jiang Yan heard some noise in the house, she told her three children about her whereabouts today.

"In a little while, I'll go to Black Rock City with your Aunt Guan to deliver food."

"Mom, are we going to have a tough battle?" Although Mom didn't tell me about the battle situation in Black Stone City when she came back last night, Yichen still guessed that the outcome of this battle was not optimistic.

"Well, it is."

"How many people have come from the Northern Barbarians?" Born in a family of military generals, Ye Xiner asked the question to the point in one sentence.

"One hundred thousand. But it should have been less yesterday." Jiang Yan didn't want to scare the three children, so she kept her achievements and reputation hidden.

"How many troops are there in Black Rock City?"

"It shouldn't be 100,000. I don't know exactly how many there are."

"The Northern Barbarians have a lot of cavalry, and the cavalry in Blackrock City may not even account for 30% of them." This was Ye Xiner's judgment when she saw that only Zhang Xiaoqi had a mount among the Thirteen Banners.

"About 20%."

"Where are my grandfather and my father..." What Ye Xin'er is most concerned about now is whether her grandfather and father can protect themselves.

"They all have mounts and weapons."

"That's great." Ye Zhen'er also knew that her grandfather and father had mounts and weapons. Although they were not invincible, they were at least as powerful as a tiger with wings.

Ye Xiner had the same idea as her sister, and her tense mood also relaxed a little.

Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Yan instructed the children, "I left some meat sauce for you in the kitchen. We have rice and flour at home, so make whatever you want for breakfast."

"Mother~"

"Be good, wait for mom to come back home with your sisters. Don't go outside. It's dangerous out there."

"Yeah." Yichen nodded, but she still wanted to go with her mother. She was worried if she didn't watch over her mother.

only…

Jiang Yan quickly took the things she needed and drove out in the carriage.

Guan's steamed buns were also packed. "Today, we only made the ones for our little flag. We won't care about the other little flags."

"Yes. Sister Guan already told them yesterday that it's up to them whether to send it or not."

"Yeah, we don't have to worry about that."

As the two talked, the carriage moved forward along the dirt road.

It was just daybreak, and Jiang Yan didn't dare to drive the carriage too fast.

Just as they were passing through a mountain pass, a donkey cart came out from the pass, clattering and following behind their carriage.

"They..." Guan turned around and recognized that it was the woman who asked them for information last night, so she didn't say much.

Jiang Yan drove the carriage forward, and more and more donkey carts followed behind it.

From afar, a team of carriages and horses were traveling on the dirt road leading to Black Stone City. Leading the way was a horse-drawn carriage, followed by donkey carts.

And all of them were women driving the coaches.

Guan occasionally glanced behind her. Then she analyzed with Jiang Yan, "I guess most of these women are from the families of the various small banners."

"Probably."

By the time they reached the foot of the mountain, it was already daybreak.

The soldiers on guard on the hill first saw the carriage driven by Jiang Niangzi. When they saw a string of donkey carts following behind, they ran over quickly to report to Captain Dong.

Captain Dong also understood the women's feelings and asked each flag to send two representatives to bring up the food.

When the women saw that their men were fine, they habitually gave them a few instructions before going back.

Only Jiang Yan and Guan Shi did not go back. After the women had gone far away, they carried their backpacks and went up the hill.

Guan was in a hurry to deliver food to the Thirteen Banners, so she walked quickly. Jiang Yan seemed to be in no hurry, so she fell far behind.

When they reached the top of the hill, Jiang Yan simply stopped.

Guan knew Sister Jiang's ability, so she let her stop and hurried over to deliver food to the people of the Thirteen Banners.

Jiang Yan stood under an old elm tree and took in its beauty. The tree was over twenty meters tall, and as she gazed at its lush branches, she smiled with satisfaction.

The person on guard not far away saw Madam Jiang staring at an old elm tree in a daze, but did not go forward to disturb her.

But when they turned around to look elsewhere and then turned back, Madam Jiang had disappeared.

They were only momentarily stunned by this situation and thought that Madam Jiang had gone after Guan.

...

Jiang Yan concentrated her wood-type abilities, her entire body merging with the vegetation. She drifted along the mountainside, like a falling leaf, carried northward by the gentle breeze.

As her body slid through the trees behind the officers and soldiers of the Hundred Households Office, she could still hear Sister Guan and Zhang Xiaoqi talking: "This meat sauce was made by Sister Jiang."

"Mrs. Jiang's cooking is delicious. You have to give me some to try." Zhou Dasheng said as he handed over a piece of pancake and motioned Zhang Xiaoqi to spread some meat sauce on his pancake.

Zhang Xiaoqi seemed a little reluctant, but there was nothing he could do. He could only put on a sullen face and scoop a spoonful of meat sauce onto Zhou Dasheng's pancake.

Zhou Dasheng's words, "It's delicious," caused trouble. Several people, led by Dong Baihu, came over to Zhang Xiaoqi and handed him the pancakes.

Zhang Xiaoqi glanced at the hands extended to him, and there was even more helplessness in his eyes.

The motor was still quick, breaking the steamed bun in half and handing it to Mr. Xiaoqi. He grinned foolishly, revealing his true nature as the landlord's idiot son.

Zhang Xiaoqi deftly scooped a spoonful of meat sauce and spread it evenly on Mada's steamed bun.

Jiang Yan turned around and saw Mada eating a steamed bun with great relish.
