Even if Yao Zhi wanted to feed her people with rice, it could easily raise suspicions. So, after thinking for a while, she decided to give them millet and sorghum.
Since she didn’t know how much they ate in a month, Yao Zhi just made a rough calculation. 100 kilograms of millet and 250 kilograms of sorghum for a month. To avoid inconvenience, she just gave them enough grains for a year.
When she took out the grains, they were packed in gunny sacks. Each sack weighed 50 kilograms. She piled up the sacks of grain in the corner.
Then, she checked the farmland’s warehouse and saw that there were products made from crops planted in the farmland. Thanks to the complete production line, she didn’t have to buy flour from the system’s shop anymore.
Before, she didn’t notice it. Now that she knew about it, she wouldn’t buy flour anymore.
She took out 1,000 kilograms of flour and placed it beside the grains. Besides flour and grains, there were also dried vegetables and cured at. She took out 500 kilograms of dried vegetables and 200 kilograms of cured at.
Afterward, she opened the system’s shop and bought 20 kilograms of salt, 50 kilograms of sugar, 10 kilograms of brown sugar, 5 liters of soy sauce, 50 liters of vegetable oil, and 2 liters of sesa oil.
The cost of the seasoning was 2,079 points. After she placed everything in another corner, she finally took out chicken eggs from her system’s husbandry warehouse.
The weather was cold, and eggs could last longer. So, she gave her people a total of 1,000 chicken eggs. If they ate one egg a day, this amount was more than enough for them for a month.
When she was done, she finally left the underground cellar and went to her room. She bought a thick blanket for each of them, 5 braziers, 500 kilograms of binchotan charcoal, and 100 boxes of candles.
Each box of candles contained 15 pieces. As for the braziers, one was for the Xi team, one was for her, and three were for the Ling squad. She spent a total of 894 points.
After her shopping spree, she went to find Ling Yi and told him to distribute the supplies. Afterward, she went to find Xi Yi and handed over the keys.
Before leaving, Yao Zhi said, "From now on, you will be responsible for managing the supplies. Ling Yi and his team will be responsible for the safety of everyone."
Hearing this, Xi Yi asked, "Master, you won’t be living here with us?"
Yao Zhi shook her head and replied, "I have matters to attend to and won’t be staying here for long. I will co back once in a while."
While she had a lot of questions in her heart, Xi Yi nodded and said, "Understood."
After she gave so instructions to Xi Yi, Yao Zhi left through the back door. When she climbed into her horse carriage, a young man stopped her. "Master, please wait a mont."
Looking at him, she asked, "Your na is..."
The young man cupped his fists, bowed, and said, "Master, my na is Ling Shi’er. I’m ranked 12th."
"Do you need anything?" Yao Zhi asked.
"Master, please allow to protect you closely."
Yao Zhi was not surprised by his request. For a guard to rise in rank, he had to gain rit. The best thod to gain rit was to serve the Master closely and protect her safety.
She also wanted to have a bodyguard, but her identity made it inconvenient for her.
Noticing her hesitation, Ling Shi’er took several steps and leaned closer to her. "Master, I know that you are a girl."
The mont she heard this, Yao Zhi’s eyes turned cold. She stared at him but said nothing. While she looked calm, she was actually panicking inside.
Thinking that she planned to silence him, Ling Shi’er quickly said, "Master, I’m yours. I swore with my life that I will never betray you."
"I know you have your reason to disguise yourself. Out of all the slaves, only I know your identity. Since that is the case, why not let protect you by your side?" Ling Shi’er asked.
After she heard this, Yao Zhi suddenly found that it made sense. She considered the pros and cons for a while before she said, "Okay. You can follow ."
Ling Shi’er’s eyes lit up when he heard this. He quickly climbed to the driver’s seat and said, "Master, I know how to drive a carriage. You should sit inside."
Yao Zhi didn’t refuse and went into the carriage. It was only after she sat down that she noticed the bag on Ling Shi’er’s side. He seed to be so sure that she would agree to his request.
Recalling her slaves’ background, she felt that as the Master, she might be tricked by them one day.
"Hya!"
With a flick of his wrist, the whip landed on the horse’s butt, and soon after, the carriage moved and left.
After they left Zhu’an town, Ling Shi’er asked, "Master, where are we going?"
"We are going back to Yang Village. Just follow the official road and take a left turn when you reach the intersection."
"Okay."
Inside the carriage, Yao Zhi had already taken off her disguise and changed her clothes. Twenty minutes later, she opened the window and saw that they had almost arrived at the village.
"Shi’er, there is an abandoned temple on the right side. You can park the carriage there."
"Understood."
After he parked the carriage, Yao Zhi ca down and said, "Go and wait for at the roadside."
Ling Shi’er nodded and left. When she was alone, Yao Zhi stored the horse carriage in her system’s grassland before she took out her donkey.
Seeing her coming back with a donkey, Ling Shi’er was full of questions. But as a slave, he had no right to question his Master. With him leading the donkey, Yao Zhi returned to the village.
