Chapter 1328 All explained
Ye Zifen nodded silently, indicating her agreement: "That's true, but following me will only earn you money; however, joining the army may give you a brighter future. It's up to you to decide how to weigh the pros and cons. In addition, judging from the current situation in Daxia, I can hardly provide any guarantee for the future profitability of our caravan."
What she said was indeed true. Whether going out to sea for trade or escorting important goods, the next task would be extremely difficult and challenging.
They know that every action requires careful planning of the itinerary and detailed and thorough arrangements.
However, everyone was still hesitant at this time, and one of them suggested: "Fifth Miss, can we go home and discuss it first?"
Ye Zifen responded: "Of course, but you must give me a clear answer today. I will start preparing for the relevant matters tomorrow, and I will set off the day after tomorrow at the latest."
No one had expected Ye Zifen to be so anxious, but they did need to discuss the decision together, so they all nodded.
Then, they turned to the people who were standing there being punished and shouted, "Come and catch up with us! Let's go back and have a good discussion! Humph!"
These people did not dare to resist at all and returned with their families obediently.
But they never expected that Ye Zifen would actually speak well of them.
You know, the risks faced by a caravan are far less cruel than those on the battlefield.
Those refugees were mostly ordinary people who had no power to fight back, while the opponents on the battlefield were mostly battle-hardened, blood-stained wolves!
However, they were not afraid. After all, their brothers were there, so what was there to be afraid of?
It's just a life!
We should do something meaningful in our lifetime.
Seeing them walking further and further away, Ye Zifen gently moved her body.
There are still many children who have not arrived yet. Obviously, they have not been able to convince their elders at home, or they are still waiting to see the decision of others.
However, she firmly believed that it would not be long before they would get what they wanted.
Sure enough, before nightfall, those families who had originally opposed their children going to the military camp came to tell Ye Zifen that they had agreed to let their children join the army, but at the same time hoped that other children left behind in the family could come to her for training, regardless of whether they were boys or girls.
Ye Zifen readily agreed, and in this way the matter was successfully resolved.
The remaining families who were still waiting and watching also came with their children shortly after they left.
Without a doubt, they all agreed to let the children go to the military camp.
Ye Zifen also gave them detailed instructions on various matters that they needed to pay attention to after entering the military camp, and notified everyone that they would set out together tomorrow afternoon.
After Ye Zifen had settled her affairs, she dragged her tired body back home.
At this time, Qingyin had already left with the child for a long time.
When Mrs. Feng saw Ye Zifen coming back, she hurried forward and brought her a basin of steaming warm water for her to wash her face. She naggled at the side, "Look at you, just wait at home. It's so cold outside, why put yourself through this?"
Ye Zifen smiled slightly and lowered her voice to say quietly: "Only in this way can I let others know how much I value this matter, and also let those people know that I am very unhappy now. In this way, they will naturally be more humble when talking to me, and will not dare to easily make any excessive demands on me."
Mrs. Feng knew that Ye Zifen was trying to comfort her, but after all, Ye Zifen was her master, so a little dissuasion would be fine by her, but if she said more, she would probably be crossing the line.
After Ye Zifen washed her hands, Mrs. Feng quickly handed her a cup of hot tea.
After Ye Zifen finished her tea, Mrs. Feng spoke up, "Miss, why don't you go back to your room and lie down for a while? You've been too tired these days. Didn't you say you'll be leaving tomorrow?"
Ye Zifen shook her head gently and said firmly, "No! I have to be busy with you! Tomorrow those lovely children will set off on their journey, and I have to pack some necessities in advance, especially the dry food they need to bring. After all, the hiking takes a long time, so we must prepare more dry food."
Mrs. Feng quickly responded, "Then let me prepare it. You can take a rest first!"
However, Ye Zifen shook her head and said, "Let's do it together! Let's finish these things as soon as possible so that we can all have a rest. Otherwise, you may have to work all night. I will wake up Xiaoliu'er later and let her help us light a fire.
"Ye Zifen had expressed it so clearly that Mrs. Feng did not want to argue any more. She rolled up her sleeves and walked towards the kitchen. She found the largest basin and cleaned it carefully. Then she and Ye Zifen began to knead the dough together.
This task really could not be completed by her alone. The basin was so big that it would probably take her a whole hour just to knead the dough.
When one bowl of flour was mixed, Mrs. Feng started to prepare their own dinner, while Ye Zifen continued to process the other bowl of flour.
By the time they finished dinner, the first bowl of noodles was ready.
What luck! The fire in the kitchen was always on, and the high temperature made the dough rise quickly.
Ye Zifen cleverly placed the basin in warm water next to the pot, which accelerated the process.
When Ye Zifen lifted the lid on the wash basin, Ye Ziwei couldn't help but exclaimed, "Sister! Looking at the situation you guys are in, we won't be able to sleep tonight!"
Ye Zifen smiled and replied, "No, we can just use two pots to operate at the same time, which will improve efficiency a lot. You can sleep well at home tomorrow, just be patient for now!"
Ye Ziwei took a deep breath and said firmly: "Then let's do it!"
After saying that, she immediately assisted Ye Zifen in cleaning the two large pots.
Then they started adding firewood to the bottom of the pot.
At this time, Mrs. Feng had already skillfully cut a piece of dough, kneaded it on the chopping board, and rolled it into a pancake.
Because Ye Zifen deliberately added a little salt when kneading the flour, these cakes would be very delicious even without any dishes to go with them.
Ye Zifen knew very well that rolling out dough was an absolute physical job, but she did not say much. She just quietly tidied up another chopping board and then started to make the dough.
When she finished the first dough, she did not put it aside like Mrs. Feng did, but cleverly made a gorgeous turn, and the dough fell accurately into the center of the bottom of one of the pots.
