My parents are omnipotent

Chapter 25 The rain is coming
"Sister, it's so delicious, it's much more delicious than what mother made." After eating and drinking, Ye Song collapsed on the chair to digest, and then accidentally said what was in his heart.

Mrs. Li was angry and funny at the same time, "Then don't eat your mother's cooking from now on!"

Ye Jinkui also said: "Your mother waits on you every day, and you have something wrong with serving you brat, right?"

Ye Anlan smoothed things over with a smile, "Mother is not as delicious as their cooking, because she doesn't want to add more seasonings."

There is only salt, and it is a dish with a little salt. If it tastes good, there is a ghost.

Ye Song smiled sheepishly, "Eldest sister is right, mother, you are too frugal, it's not that you are not good at workmanship."

***
The whole family chatted and laughed for a while, feeling that they were not so supportive, so Ye Anlan took out the silver coins to settle the bill, and together with Ye Jinkui took everyone to a nearby shop to buy new year's goods.

It's just that they were shopping, but the atmosphere on the street suddenly became a little strange.

Ye Anlan's five senses were excellent, and while she was shopping with other people, she subconsciously began to look for clues.

Listen with your ears and see with your eyes, and then peel off the seemingly messy information and gather useful information bit by bit.

"Father, buy as much food, salt, and spirits as possible." Ye Anlan made a decisive decision when her ominous premonition was confirmed, "There are also weapons and medicinal materials. I plan to give Fengshou and A Song each a knife and a pair." Bow and arrow."

Ye Jinkui frowned slightly. Although he was not as sharp as Ye Anlan, his experience of fleeing gave him a certain ability to read atmosphere.

He said to Ye Anlan: "Then your mother and I will go to buy food, salt and spirits, and you and Fengshou will go to buy weapons and medicinal materials."

Ye Anlan nodded, she took out the wad of banknotes, and stuffed them to Mrs. Li under the cover of her sleeve, while she continued to carry all the cash at home.

"It is estimated that the borrowed ox carts and donkey carts cannot hold the food we need. I will buy two donkey carts or mule carts later."

To stockpile grain in order to cope with the war, it can't be a joke. It's only a small amount of three to five hundred catties. In order not to tire out the borrowed cattle and donkeys, Ye Anlan doesn't mind buying two temporarily. cart.

After making an appointment with Ye Jinkui to meet at the grain store at the end of the street, Ye Anlan took a few little beans to the place where she bought long knives, bows and arrows last time.

Ye Song was young, and unlike Ye Anlan, who was born with great strength, so the long sword and bow that Ye Anlan chose for him were relatively light.

Although Zheng Fengshou was also young, he was tall and strong, so Ye Anlan didn't take special care of him.

After spending nearly twenty taels of silver to equip the two of them with a pair of weapons and a rattan armor, Ye Anlan took a few small ones to buy livestock and a cart.

Considering the stamina, speed, and load capacity of the donkey and the mule, Ye Anlan gritted his teeth and bought two mule carts.

As a result, the money in her hand suddenly decreased by 38 taels.

After entering the medical hall and wandering around, I bought a large amount of medicinal materials from the old doctor. When I came out, Ye Anlan had ten to seventy-eight dollars of money in her hand, and only two or three were left. It was because the old doctor saw her kindness In order to inform the other party that "the war is coming", she was given a greatly discounted friendship price.

Driving the two newly purchased mule carts, Ye Anlan took her younger siblings to the entrance of the grain store.

At this time, the news of the approaching war has not yet spread completely, and the price of food in the store is only slightly higher than usual.

Ye Jinkui and Li Shi pretended to be two groups of people and went into the store separately to buy rice.

When Ye Anlan and the others rushed over, more than half of the carts of rice and grain had been piled up on the ox cart and the donkey cart beside them.

"Father, mother." Ye Anlan jumped out of the mule cart, "What else do I need to buy? I'll go in."

"Buy some fine grains. Your father and I bought coarse grains."

Ye Anlan nodded, and sure enough, she went in and came out carrying several bags of round-grained rice and flour.

But she didn't only buy fine grains, but the little guy who helped her carry the bags, all the things she carried were millet, soybeans, sorghum and the like.

After leaving the grain store, several people stopped by and bought a lot of salt, spirits, pork, chicken and duck, and cotton cloth.

Too many good things make people jealous, Li Shi also bought straw mats, baskets and other things to cover up people's eyes and ears.

Although Ye Anlan felt that her behavior was pure deceit, but thinking that the dozen or so copper coins could bring Li Shi some peace of mind, Ye Anlan immediately felt that the money spent was really worth the money.

"Father and I each have a mule cart, Fengshou drives the donkey cart, and Erlang drives the ox cart." After shopping, Ye Anlan immediately deprived Li Shi of the right to drive the cart.

Mrs. Li was worried, "How can Fengshou and Erlang drive the car? Let me do it."

Zheng Fengshou patted his chest. Kier said to Li Shi: "Auntie, I can drive a cart. I just drove a mule cart."

Ye Song also said: "My eldest sister taught me just now, I can do it."

Ye Jinkui glanced at his son's small body, "Let your mother sit with you. If you can't handle it, your mother can help you."

Although Ye Anlan gave Ye Song the most docile and honest cattle among all the livestock, as a parent, he still couldn't help but worry about his young son.

"That's fine." Although Ye Song felt that he was underestimated, but seeing his father's unquestionable eyes, what else could he do except obey?

Ye Anlan hilariously raised her hand and touched her brother's head, "Okay, it's getting late, we should leave the city."

Zheng Fengshou rubbed his stomach, "Sister, it's all over now, why don't we leave after we don't have a good meal?"

Ye Anlan was both amused and helpless, "Wait."

She ran to a small restaurant on the street and bought a lot of buns with different fillings and pancakes made in different ways, "It's too late to go to the restaurant, let's eat buns and pancakes while walking."

Zheng Fengshou casually grabbed an oiled paper bag exuding the aroma of scallion oil. While eating happily, he lightly waved his whip, "Let's go—"

Seeing this, Ye Anlan hurriedly stuffed him with two meat buns and two brown sugar cakes, "If it's not enough, ask me again."

"okay."

"Father, Mother, Second Brother, Third Sister, and Younger Sister, you eat too." Ye Anlan distributed the bought food to everyone, and when she finished sharing the others, she also took two buns and started eating.

There is no need to pay money to go out of the city, and under normal circumstances, there is no one to check. Ye Anlan and the others drove four cars and stepped out of the city gate smoothly on the tail of the "normal situation".

What they didn't know was that shortly after they left the city, several city gates in the county were slowly closed.

The officials and gentlemen of the county seat have received definite news that the rebel army has completely occupied the neighboring county and will send troops to attack the county in the near future, so they hurriedly closed the city gates to prevent the rebel army from giving them a surprise attack. attack.

In addition, they also had to guard against refugees from neighboring counties, as well as spies who might be among the refugees.
