Quick mission: We don't make trouble

The two adults were already moved by Didi.

Wang Xiangdong: "Didi, if you need startup capital, uncle will give it to you... You don't need to..."

As he said this, he was about to take the silver from his backpack.

Wu Di: "Uncle Dong, I know you all will give me the cards if I ask, but I didn't prepare these playing cards to win money. I thought the journey would be lonely and boring, so everyone could play to kill time. Especially you, Uncle Dong, who has been busy all the time. You should also pay attention to rest and balance work and rest."

Wang Xiangdong was moved again.

He recalled that every time he spoke to his daughter, she would ask him if he was tired from patrolling, if he had rested well, and urged him to pay attention to the balance between work and rest.

"Okay, Uncle Dong will play with you."

Wu Di: "Well, don't show mercy."

Wang Xiangdong: "Let your strength speak for itself. Don't cry if you lose."

Wu Di: "No way. We can afford to lose and let it go."

When Wang Xiangdong is not on patrol, he also plays Landlord with his teammates, and he is quite skilled at it.

So the three of them started playing Landlord again.

Outside, Mr. Zhu heard Didi's words and couldn't help but feel extremely proud. He said, "My Didi is good at coaxing people." Hehe. With just a few words, he got the cold-faced Wang Xiangdong to agree.

Yang Jiu, who had been listening to the noise, flattered him, "Grandpa, your granddaughter is quite capable. At such a young age, she already knows how to support the family and start a business. There are many children of her age in the capital who are still unaware of this."

Father Zhu: “Okay?”

Yang Jiu: "I can do it."

Father Zhu: "Then I will have to rely on you more in the future."

The topic naturally turned to what kinds of businesses there were in the city.

They were chatting happily outside, while fighting fiercely inside.

----

Zhu Qingqing in the car in front had no idea how lively the car behind was.

After she woke up from her sleep, she stretched her body and stretched her muscles, then slowly opened the curtains and looked outside.

At this moment, it was already dusk outside.

The carriage was winding up the mountain road, and it was only halfway up the mountain.

Zhu Qingqing turned to Yang Wu and asked, "Where are we going to camp tonight?"

According to common sense, they would never travel at night.

After all, such mountain roads are not only very narrow but also extremely dangerous. If the lighting is poor at night, a little carelessness may lead to a tragedy in which the car is destroyed and people are killed.

Yang Wu replied, "We'll probably have to walk for another hour or so. There's a relatively spacious valley on the mountain where we used to camp. We have to get there tonight, otherwise we'll have nowhere to stay on this narrow road."

As he was speaking, someone in front passed a message to the back: "Speed ​​up! We must reach the camp before dark!" Upon hearing this, Yang Wu swung the whip in his hand and whipped the horse's back hard, urging the horse under his crotch to speed up.

As night fell, the caravan finally arrived at their campsite. It was a valley, surrounded by rolling hills, but with a wide, flat expanse in the middle, and a clear stream running through it. This place was truly a rare campsite, no wonder Yang Wu insisted on always coming here.

The exhausted people began to set up camp in an orderly manner. They first carefully selected a relatively flat area as their campsite, then worked together to unload the extremely heavy cargo from the yaks and horses and neatly stacked them. To prevent the cargo from being soaked by the night dew or rain, they carefully covered it with a thick oilcloth.

After a long and arduous journey all day, the yaks and horses were extremely tired and needed a good rest to restore their strength so that they could continue their journey with full energy tomorrow.

Some people were responsible for leading the yaks and horses to graze and drink water. There was a stream flowing down from the valley, and the grass was lush by the stream.

Some people skillfully set up tents, fixed them to the ground with ropes, and built temporary shelters for themselves.

Others patrolled the camp with bows and arrows, alert for possible danger.

The main purpose is to prevent wild animals.

The mountains here are high and the roads are long, and there are no bandits or robbers.

The entire camp is full of the breath of life. Although the environment is simple, people cooperate with each other and jointly cope with the various difficulties during the journey.

Zhu Qingqing's family's two carriages were parked in the innermost and safest location.

She jumped out of the car and walked towards the center of the camp, having promised to help.

A bonfire was lit in the center of the camp, and numerous torches were lit around it.

The orange flames danced, bringing a touch of warmth and light to the night. People sat or stood around the bonfire, enjoying the rare peace and quiet.

At this time, the firemen also started to get busy, cooking food with simple tools.

Zhu Qingqing found Team Leader Yang and said, "Team Leader Yang, if you need me to do anything, just tell me."

Seeing that Zhu Qingqing was determined to help, Team Leader Yang couldn't refuse, so he shouted to the fireman who was busy over there, "Third Brother, Madam Zhu needs help, please arrange it."

After saying that, he went to do other things.

A man holding a large spoon ran over and said, "Madam Zhu, how can you trouble me with such a crude job?"

Zhu Qingqing: "I am a chef by nature. This is my profession."

Yang Lao San: "Then I am just showing off my skills.

I'm not a cook, I was just assigned by my second brother to cook, so please give me some pointers, Madam."

As he said this, he led Zhu Qingqing to their two big pots.

Two people were busy making a fire.

Zhu Qingqing looked at the clear water in the pot and asked, "What are you eating tonight? Let's eat together."

The third brother rubbed his hands and said, "It's nothing, just make some noodle soup with some oil and salt.

When you're out and about, you need to eat whatever you can get. You can have some dry food at noon, and then you can have something hot to eat when you set up camp at night."

As he said this, he took out a bag of flour and showed it to Zhu Qingqing.

Zhu Qingqing said, "I know. Just cook two pots of noodle soup. Leave it to me."

Yang San: "Madam, let me do it."

Zhu Qingqing: "Go find my family and ask them to wash the mushrooms and wild vegetables they picked this afternoon and bring them over. Also ask them to bring over two pieces of pickled meat."

Yang San didn't know what she was going to do, but he went there obediently.

After a while, Mother Zhu, Zhu Yingying and Wu Di came with things.

Zhu's father, Wang Xiangdong and Yu Bo went to help feed the horses.

Everyone is busy.

Mother Zhu and Zhu Yingying went to the stream to wash vegetables.

Wu Di sat next to him and helped to light the fire.

Zhu Qingqing asked Yang San to help wash the pickled meat and cut it into cubes.

She was going to make a delicious dumpling soup with pickled meat, mushrooms and wild vegetables.

She asked Yang San to put the pickled meat into the pot and boil it over high heat. As the water temperature rose, the aroma of the pickled meat gradually spread.

Then, she dripped the prepared batter into the pot through the colander.

She added diced mushrooms and wild vegetables to the pot, stirring gently to blend with the marinated meat. Zhu Qingqing waited patiently, watching the broth slowly simmer, the flavors of the various ingredients intertwining in the steam. The longer the broth simmered, the richer its flavor. Finally, Zhu Qingqing took a sip and smiled with satisfaction. This pot of soup was not only delicious, but also made her appreciate the gift of nature and the joy of making it herself.
