Chapter 162 Starve to Death Together

Ginger milk is not difficult to make, but there are more than 200 people in Taohua Village. Even if everyone has a bowl, it is still a big project.

In the mall, ginger was sold at two coins per pound. Bai Tao bought two hundred pounds at once and gave half of it to Bai Duoxi.

The other ingredient is even simpler, fresh milk.

A bucket costs eighty coins. She took out five buckets. Not to mention one bowl per person, even three bowls per person would be enough.

Bai Tao didn't worry about the fresh milk being wasted. With Bai Duoxi around, he would think about making other food.

Bai Duoxi is indeed talented. Bai Tao only described it once and he was able to make it after thinking about it.

After tasting it, Bai Tao praised: "Not bad, this is the taste."

“It’s better than anything I’ve ever had.”

This made Bai Duoxi's heart skip a beat. Has my aunt ever eaten food made by others?!
Those people really did everything they could to steal our aunt away.

This won’t do. I have to work harder and make my aunt like the food they cook. If I do that, no matter what food others give her, it will be useless.

"That's good." Bai Duoxi smiled happily and said obediently: "Then Auntie, I will make some more so that everyone can have a taste?"

Bai Tao: "Go quickly and let everyone have a taste of your cooking skills."

"Speaking of which, the skills of the people you taught have also improved. You have worked hard these days, and I will credit you for your contribution."

Bai Duoxi smiled shyly: "Auntie, as long as you like the food we cook and don't mind us being stupid, that's all that's fine."

"What's the matter with being stupid? You are very powerful!" Bai Tao had never eaten imperial cuisine, so it was hard to say whether it was delicious or not, but most of the food in Jin State was boiled.

After cooking, they would just fry the food with a little oil or stew it in a pot. There was no concept of stir-frying, so Bai Tao thought it was really amazing that Bai Duoxi, who had never cooked before, could make delicious meals.

Hearing this, Bai Duoxi's smiling face was almost wrinkled. He said happily, "Auntie, can I make some fried milk and milk cakes with the remaining milk?"

"Okay." How could Bai Tao refuse if there was something to eat?

As soon as the villagers heard about the new product that their aunt taught Bai Duoxi to develop, they lined up with their bowls, but no one talked about the entrance to the camp, which showed that Bai Dashan had already notified everyone thoroughly.

"It's delicious."

"That's right. A lot of fresh milk was used."

“Is this milk cake?”

"Correct!"

"..."

In Taohua Village, everyone was enjoying a bowl of ginger milk. Yang Song hesitated for a long time, but finally spoke.

"Sir, then tell me, since the Baijiabao Caravan values ​​girls so much, why don't they accept those girls?"

Lu Xiaohao glanced at him and said, "Throughout the generations, even if there were no offspring and an heir was needed, the royal family would only choose someone from the clan."

"Have you ever seen the royal family of any dynasty choose a bride from the homes of ministers or ordinary people?"

Yang Song shook his head: "No. But how can the royal family be compared with the common people's family?"

"There is no difference in terms of bloodline importance." Lu Xiaohao continued: "The Baijiabao caravan all has the surname Bai, and you also know what Miss Bai's identity is."

Yang Song nodded: "Miss Bai is their great aunt, she is of a very high generation."

"Yeah." Lu Xiaohao: "The Baijiabao caravan is obviously a group of people who attach great importance to the bloodline of their clan."

Although it was just a guess, Lu Xiaohao already felt that it was almost certain that the people from the Baijiabao caravan were a tribe living in a remote corner.

Such people are extremely hostile to outsiders, so how could they adopt outsiders' children? When Yang Song heard this, he immediately understood.

"Sir, they said they like girls, is that true or false?"

Lu Xiaohao thought for a moment and said, "It should be true."

"If you have a daughter, who in this world doesn't want a son? If you have a son, who doesn't want a daughter? Everyone wants to have both sons and daughters."

He also heard that Aunt Bai's family already had five boys, and another one was born yesterday.

Since he already has six grandsons, it’s not surprising that he wants a granddaughter.

Yang Song nodded slowly and agreed: "Yes, people in the world are always greedy, they want this and that." They don't even think about how to have the best of both worlds.

At first, the old woman wanted to take her granddaughter away, but she soon found out that there were other people who took their children to find the Baijiabao caravan.

I had worked so hard to come up with this business, and these people actually followed suit. How shameless! The old woman spat a few times in anger.

Fortunately, knowing that no one succeeded, the mother-in-law felt better: "Bah, I told you a long time ago, they just talk nicely."

"What do you mean girls are precious? Ha, girls will get married sooner or later. A married daughter is like water spilled, which means she loses money. Only boys stay at home all the time..."

These past few days, the old woman has been talking about the Baijiabao caravan's faults everywhere whenever she has time.

The people in Taohua Village were too lazy to pay attention to her, but some people could no longer stand the old woman's behavior.

When the old woman came to his house again and talked nonstop, Zhou Yang got angry and started arguing with her.

"Just shut up. You're so old, but you still can't be more polite."

"Why would a caravan take in your children? And you have the nerve to ask for one tael of silver a month. The city walls are not as thick as you, right?"

"Is your child a hen that lays golden eggs? If someone doesn't adopt you, then you are being ungrateful?! If you were to adopt a child, would you choose a child from another village, another family, or another clan? You would always choose from your own family."

"You have to raise your own children. If you can't, the whole family will starve to death. It's a good thing that the whole family is together on the road to the underworld. How great!"

"You can't even do it yourselves, yet you have the nerve to touch your upper lip to your lower lip and keep yelling."

Zhou Qing: "That's right. How the caravan handles things has nothing to do with you. You are jealous because you are incompetent."

"Girls are precious in the caravan. What's wrong? What's wrong with you?"

Zhou Yang: "Yes, the young boss of the Baijiabao caravan is still a girl. She makes all the decisions about the caravan, big or small."

"If you have the guts, don't exchange supplies with the caravan, and don't follow the caravan."

"It's, it's..."

Although Bai Tao seldom went out often, she would get on and off carriages, and occasionally ride in a sedan chair, so she was bound to be seen by other people.

What's more, the people in Taohua Village always talk about our aunt, so it is not surprising that the refugees along the way know that the person who made the decision for the Baijiabao caravan was Bai Tao.

When they heard the Zhou family say this, those who were indignant with the mother-in-law immediately blushed.

They looked at each other awkwardly, pouted, and dared not say another word.

They were afraid that the people from the Baijiabao caravan would find out. Not to mention exchanging supplies, they would not be allowed to follow the caravan. If they encountered bandits on the road, they would be in trouble.

Zhou Qing: "If you really have that ambition, when the caravan is short of workers, don't come over, or I will be the first to look down on you!"

I want to eat ginger milk too.

It seems like I haven’t eaten it for four or five years. The more I think about it, the more I crave it.
