This time, Xie Yu was a little stunned. The agreement was too quick. He couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to ask me where I'm going? What am I going to do?"

Wang Yi waved his hand dismissively, saying, "What you do is your business. I'll just be a driver."

If there's any real danger, she'll just run away; that's something she's good at.

However, she still asked, "Where are you going? When are you leaving?"

"Northwest, departing in three days."

Wang Yi quickly thought about it. The Northwest was not a short distance from the Southwest, and the roads were rugged, but that was nothing for a motorhome.

She nodded: "No problem, but I have a few conditions."

Making the trip wouldn't cost her anything, but Xie Yu was clearly doing it on purpose today. The tiles had already been delivered, and she was just assuming they wouldn't easily turn them back.

She was grateful to Xie Yu for helping her, but she was still somewhat displeased by this scheming and felt she had to get something in return.

Hearing this, Xie Yu felt reassured: "Indeed, I'll get a great deal from Miss Wang by making this trip for me. Please tell me, Miss."

Wang Yiyi: "First, you need to find someone to deliver goods for my parents. Second, get me a tea tasting packet."

In this dynasty, tea, like salt, was a business that only those with tea permits could do. Selling tea privately was punishable by death. She only learned this when the government issued tea permits last time.

The southwest is rich in tea, and as far as she knows, the northwest is short of tea. If she had a tea talisman, coupled with her spatial abilities, she would surely make a fortune.

Xie Yu paused for a moment. The first request was easy to fulfill, but the second request was indeed a bit difficult to handle. He was going there this time as a merchant to open up the tea-horse road between the Northwest and the Southwest, so as to gradually bring the Northwest Army under his control.

He considered it for a moment before saying, "The first request is easy to fulfill. As for the second request, I will definitely do it for you in the future. I know a businessman who will be traveling with me this time. If you are willing, you can use his name."

Wang Yiyi was somewhat dissatisfied. Only with tea tokens could the business last. Now, she could only do one-off business. However, it was better than nothing.

She had no choice but to nod: "Okay, I'll wait for you in Shangyun Town in three days, but you'll have to lend me some money."

Her biggest weakness is that she's poor; she can't afford the capital to start a business.

Xie Yu chuckled at her sudden drop in arrogance: "How much silver do you want?"

Wang Yi held up one finger: "One thousand taels."

Xie Yu was somewhat surprised: "Ordinary tea cakes only cost fifty or sixty coins per pound, how can a carriage hold so many?"

Fifty or sixty coins was more expensive than Wang Yiyi had expected. In her memory, the Wang family always drank wild tea that they picked themselves and had never bought it from the street.

She held up another finger: "Then let's borrow two thousand taels."

"Transporting tea is not easy. This is your first time doing this kind of business, young lady. I suggest you order less." Xie Yu thought about the space in the carriage and couldn't help but frown. With so much tea, was he supposed to sit on the carriage shaft?

"Don't worry, just lend me the money."

Xie Yu wanted to offer some more advice, but then she thought, if Wang Yiyi loses money on this business deal, wouldn't she owe him a large sum of money? What relationship in this world is stronger than that between a creditor and a debtor?

He readily agreed to lend the money.

"Someone will bring you the silver later." Xie Yu rode away after he saw that the matter was settled.

Not long after Xie Yu left, the person he sent brought the silver: "Miss Wang, General Xie asked me to stay and help with the delivery."

Wang Yiyi led the man to Wang Dashan: "Father, I'm going to the Northwest. This young master was sent by General Xie to help with the delivery. You can give him the tofu from now on."

"You're going to the Northwest?" Wang Dashan's eyes widened, and his voice involuntarily rose.

Seeing Wang Yi nod, he hurriedly said, "The journey to the Northwest is long and arduous, and I've heard the roads to Shu are difficult. What are you going there for?"

Upon hearing this, Li rushed over: "Isn't this ridiculous? I don't agree. The Northwest is too dangerous. You stay at home obediently."

Wang Yi covered her ears; Li's shout was quite loud.

"Mother, keep your voice down. I'm with General Xie this time. Don't worry, there will be no danger."

Upon hearing this, Madam Li became even more agitated and immediately pushed the people Xie Yu had sent out: "You and General Xie, just the two of you? No, no, absolutely not. We don't need his help."

Wang Yi had anticipated that Li might not agree, but she didn't expect her reaction to be so strong. She patiently explained, "There are other people involved. I'm just going to be General Xie's coachman, and I'm planning to do some business there."

"I'll go with you," Wang Dashan said.

Wang Yiyi immediately refused: "Dad, we need to build a house, Mom has to make tofu every day, and my eldest and second brothers are going to the military camp soon. We can't do without you. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself and I will be back in ten days at most."

Wang Dashan was taken aback. He opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing. There were many things to do at home, and he really couldn't leave.

"I'll go with Third Sister," Er Ya volunteered.

Wang Yiyi refused, saying that if they encountered danger, she might not be able to protect Er Ya, and it would be best for her to go alone.

Li was still not very willing, but after Wang Yiyi persuaded her a few more times, she reluctantly agreed.

"Dad, I need some planks." Wang Yiyi planned to modify the interior of the RV.

This time, she was taking Xie Yu to the Northwest, which would take several days on the road. She couldn't let Xie Yu discover the secret of the RV, and she couldn't let her see things that didn't belong to this era.

This time, Wang Dashan didn't ask any more questions and went straight to find some wooden planks.

These past two days, Wang Yiyi has been spending her days delivering tofu and modifying her RV, which has been quite fulfilling.

The night before Da Tou and Er Tou went to the military camp, Wang Yi gave each of them a set of bulletproof vests and a dagger.

"Big brother, second brother, you must never take off this golden silk armor, especially in the event of war." Wang Yiyi reminded them several times. With this bulletproof vest, at least their lives could be protected.

Er Tou excitedly put it on; ever since he wore it last time, he had been thinking about it constantly.

Big Head thought more deeply: "Third Sister, there haven't been any battles lately, so we don't need these things. Bringing them to the military camp will only attract unwanted attention."

The military camp is not like home; everyone is together every day, so you can't hide it from anyone.

"It's okay, just say it's an undergarment, no one will recognize it." Wang Yiyi insisted that Da Tou put the clothes on.

Others also chimed in with their advice, and Da Tou, left with no other choice, had to put his clothes back on.

Wang Yiyi then pulled out two walkie-talkies: "These can transmit sound for 200 li. If you have any urgent matters, you can use them to send a message back."

This walkie-talkie is a product of the new era. It doesn't need a base station or a satellite; both can transmit signals. My parents prepared it when the zombie outbreak first occurred.

She had tossed the walkie-talkie into a corner after her parents passed away, and only found it while cleaning the RV.
