Chapter 198 No Man’s Land

When Bai Duojin heard this, he realized that was true. He was so busy scolding the rebels as inhumane that he didn't think of this.

So, Bai Duojin closed the account book and said hurriedly, "Then, Auntie, please have your meal first. I will report to you in detail later."

As soon as Bai Duojin left, Bai Duoxi smiled and said, "Aunt, today I'm going to prepare rice noodles in a clay pot for you. I'm going to put three spoons of minced meat and two spoons of sour beans in it. It's really appetizing."

Bai Tao's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Okay, you are thoughtful."

When we were eating hotpot yesterday, Bai Tao casually said that rice noodles would also taste good if cooked in a casserole, so Bai Duo prepared it for the wedding banquet today.

Just tell me, who wouldn’t like such a sensible and filial young man?

When Bai Tao saw the rice noodles bubbling with heat after opening the lid of the casserole, she instantly felt hungry.

Bai Duoxi: "Auntie, if you feel that any of the side dishes are not enough, please call me and I will add more for you."

Side dishes should be eaten in moderation to be delicious, otherwise it will be boring.

If not, Bai Duoxi would put all the minced meat into the casserole.

After all, in the villagers' minds, meat is a good thing and it is always a good idea to eat more of it.

"Okay." Bai Tao took the bib and put it around her neck. She sniffed the air with her eyes lit up. "Did you also make baked sweet potatoes with cheese?"

Bai Duoxi grinned: "My aunt is really amazing. She knows all this."

He originally wanted to wait until his aunt had almost finished eating before serving the food to her so as to give her a surprise.

Bai Tao pointed to her nose and said, "I can smell it." How could she not smell such a strong smell?

A large portion of casserole rice noodles, a few pieces of braised pork ribs, a cheese baked sweet potato, and a large cup of yogurt, and Bai Tao's stomach was instantly satisfied.

"Burp~" After a burp, Bai Tao wiped her mouth, took off her bib, and took two sips from the yogurt cup.

"Let Duojin come over."

"Hey." Bai Duoxi responded while putting the cut kiwi fruit next to Bai Tao's hand: "Auntie, please eat some kiwi fruit to supplement your vitamins."

Bai Tao had said before that daily diet should be nutritionally balanced, and the villagers took note of it.

Vitamins are vegetables and fruits, carbohydrates are grains such as rice and flour, and high-quality protein is meat, eggs and milk.

It doesn’t matter what the villagers eat, as long as they can fill their stomachs, whether it’s more meat or less vegetables. But Bai Tao’s diet must take all aspects into consideration.

Bai Tao herself might not be able to follow the standards, so she would just put whatever she bought into the warehouse and let Bai Duoxi watch over it.

Soon, Bai Duojin arrived.

"Auntie, after counting the things, I have packed them into boxes according to categories..."

He no longer criticized the rebels. Whether the rebels were good or not had little to do with Taohua Village.

This group of rebels swept through three or four cities and were victorious in every battle. This time they had planned to capture Yancheng and spend the winter there, and then spread out to other places in the spring of the following year. Unexpectedly, they were defeated by the people of Taohua Village.

Therefore, after this battle, almost all the property looted by the rebels fell into the hands of Taohua Village.

There was a shopping mall beeping nearby, and Bai Tao knew what was there without even looking at the account book.

But she had just sold some things yesterday and had no intention of selling any more now, so she put them all into the mall warehouse.

Mall: '……' I beeped so many times, but was it all in vain?

It would be fine if you could just sell a few items as a token of your appreciation!

Bai Tao didn't know about the anger behind the mall, and even if she knew, she wouldn't care.

"Give the order to pack up and we'll go to Yancheng to rest for two days and restock some supplies before we leave."

"Yes, great aunt."

The rebels in Yancheng were defeated, and Yancheng was freed and could enter the city. The people following the Baijiabao caravan were delighted. But soon they heard that the caravan would not stay in Yancheng, and everyone was stunned.

"The caravan won't stay in Yancheng?"

"From what they said, they won't keep it."

"It's not surprising. The Baijiabao caravan travels all over the country. Why would they stay in Yancheng?"

"Then what do we do?"

Baijiabao is a caravan, so it is normal for them to travel all over the country, but it is not the same for others.

People always have to settle down, so these people were suddenly confused. They wanted to stay in Yancheng, but they didn’t know how to make a living.

I have some money now, but I have no house or land. How long can this money provide food and drink for my family?

Out of trust in the Baijiabao caravan, many people came to Bai Dashan with doubts.

"Boss Bai, you have traveled a lot and have seen a lot. I would like to ask you for some advice."

Bai Dashan had a smile on his face and felt proud in his heart. All my knowledge was given by our aunt.

After listening to everyone's questions, Bai Dashan thought for a moment and said, "Well...what do you think?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads: "We don't know either."

They fled their homes just to survive, but they had little knowledge and were afraid that the decision they made today would be wrong and they would lose their lives, so they bravely came to ask Bai Dashan for advice.

At this time, someone spoke up: "Boss Bai, where is the caravan going next? Can we still follow it?"

"The destination of our trip is Dongzhou." Bai Dashan paused for a moment, then continued, "It is Junji Town in the north of Dongzhou."

Bai Tao didn't say it couldn't be said, so Bai Dashan revealed it.

The place Dongzhou is on the border of Jin State, and it can even be said to be the border of Liang State.

When the State of Jin was strong, this territory belonged to the State of Jin, but it was occupied by the State of Liang a few years ago.

After repeated disputes over the past few years, a zone was finally formed by tacit understanding that neither country cared about.

Bai Tao spent a thousand coins and searched on the map provided by the mall. Combining the current situation, he found a place where Taohua Village could be settled.

Dongzhou?

Those who had not heard of it were confused, while those who had heard of it frowned.

"Why go to Dongzhou?" As soon as the speaker finished speaking, he quickly explained: "Boss Bai, I don't have any other meaning, I just heard before that it is a no-man's land over there."

Bai Dashan nodded: "Yes, that's true."

"But our Baijiabao caravan is used to being lax and doesn't like being disciplined, so..."

Although he didn't finish the rest of his words, everyone understood.

If it were anyone else, they would definitely not go to such a place, but the Baijiabao caravan killed bandits and fought rebels, so they were naturally fearless because they had the strength.

Bai Dashan continued, "Besides, we are doing business. If we settle down in Dongzhou, we can do business in Jin State and also take care of Liang State."

When everyone heard this, they agreed.

You can do business on both sides without being subject to regulation, so why not?

"Manager Bai, excuse me, when will your caravan set off?"

"Rest in Yancheng for three days, and then set off in three days."

Bai Dashan left after he finished speaking, leaving these people looking at each other, confused and helpless.
