Chapter 139: It's Raining
Early the next morning, Wang Lao Liu, together with three other merchants, left the camp and returned to the capital under the escort of five soldiers.
After the whole team had finished breakfast, the camp continued north.
After last night, no one mentioned the food, but everyone's eyes were a little more afraid and probing when they looked at Hua Qianyue.
This gave Hua Qianyue a headache.
Frankly speaking, Hua Qianyue has never been the leader of a team, although she manages two wineries, a silver building, and a vineyard, but Yundu has Hua Jiaqi, the winery has Hua Qianli, there is a Jiang shopkeeper in the Treasure Pavilion, and there is a village head in the manor, and now this team is not like Tong Yufei's army, as long as the order is given, no one dares to disobey.
Don't underestimate this small team of fifty people (now there are only forty-six people left) Everyone has a different purpose, how to twist these people into a rope is really not a simple matter, at least Hua Qianyue thinks that it is much more difficult than her to do business.
In fact, she has not noticed this problem, in her opinion, leading these people to exchange food for food, so that Mobei can trade with Da Zhou, her task is completed.
After yesterday's incident with Wang Lao Liu, she suddenly became aware of the cohesion of the team.
Hua Qianyue thought of N more plans, and finally overturned them one by one in person, thinking that she still had no clue when she had a headache.
When I raised my eyes, I saw Lan Xiang coming in with a food box and lifting the curtain, which and realized that she had been thinking about it for a long time.
"You two eat together, I'll go down for a walk."
Hua Qianyue knocked on her groggy head and got out of the car.
"Don't leave it to me, I'll go to the fire camp to eat."
In the middle of July, the weather in the capital is the hottest, but there is already the breath of autumn here, the leaves of the unknown small trees on the side of the road are gradually reddening, and the grass on the ground has lost its former brilliance.
Hua Qianyue blew the cold wind for a while, felt much clearer, and folded in the direction of going to the Huotou camp.
"Dude, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"
Li Xiaomao, a man from the Huotou Battalion, greeted him warmly, and his big eyes were squeezed into a slit.
"Isn't this coming here to eat?"
Seeing Li Xiaomao, Hua Qianyue couldn't help but want to laugh, the five big and three rough men actually chose a name called Xiaomao...... I really don't know what his parents thought at the time.
Li Xiaomao happily opened the curtain for Hua Qianyue.
Hua Qianyue stepped into the door and looked around, except for a few firehead soldiers in the camp tent, only a few soldiers squatting on the ground with big bowls and eating in twos and threes, there was no one on a stool, there were many people in the camp tent yesterday, she didn't find that there were no stools here.
No wonder the merchants liked to carry a food box back to the car, while the soldiers liked to sit on the floor.
"Sit down, dude."
Li Xiaomao dragged out a bench out of nowhere and tested the dust on it with his sleeve.
Before Hua Qianyue fart/stock touched the stool, a few fireheads brought her a simple and rough square table, so simple that she didn't even shave off the bark on the table legs, which they usually use to cut vegetables.
Then the fragrant pork stewed vermicelli, the green stir-fried vegetables, the hot tofu soup, and a large bowl of spiky white rice were brought to her.
"It's ......"
Hua Qianyue was a little flattered, which was too enthusiastic.
"Ahh There's also a leftover chicken leg from yesterday, I'll give it to you. ”
Another firehead soldier, about seventeen or eighteen years old, said.
"No, that's too much."
Hua Qianyue hurriedly spoke out to stop it, and quietly wiped a cold sweat in her heart, the leftovers were all moved out, and her enthusiasm was a little excessive, this is not normal, it is too abnormal.
"you/mother/oft." Li Xiaomao said a foul word and kicked his foot on the speaker's ass/thigh, "You / leftovers are too embarrassed to take out for the playboy to eat." ”
"Chicken legs, chicken legs, that's chicken legs!"
Ye Rong, who was kicked, was very unconvinced, if the leftovers were so rich, he would rather eat them every day.
"Don't be like this kid, dude."
Saying that, Li Xiaomao dragged a wooden pier and sat opposite Hua Qianyue.
"Eat quickly, it's going to be cold in a while."
Li Xiaomao urged, looking at Hua Qianyue with big black and shining eyes.
"But what's the matter?"
Being stared at like this, who can still eat, Hua Qianyue put down her chopsticks and asked helplessly.
"It's okay, it's okay, you eat, you eat."
Li Xiaomao shook his hand again and again, but he was still sitting opposite Hua Qianyue and looked at it earnestly.
"What's the matter, let's just say it, I can't eat it like you."
Hua Qianyue simply got straight to the point.
"Ah," Li Xiaomao blushed a little, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that you trained that Wang Lao and the six brothers yesterday and think you have a good temper with everyone...... You don't know, these businessmen are usually used to eating good wine and food, and they are always very picky about us in private, but you came here yesterday and were much more honest. ”
"Were they picky before?"
"It's not, it's not that the dish is too light or the dough is too hard, you say that there is so much attention to the door."
It turned out that there were signs for a long time, and I didn't even notice it.
Li Xiaomao saw that Hua Qianyue was silent, and became more and more proud.
"Do you know why those stations along the way are so welcoming?"
"Why?"
Isn't it because of Qi Haotian?
Li Xiaomao looked left and right, lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Those merchants all stuff silver into the post guards in private, add wine and food."
This is also normal, people have money, and it is not a matter of letting themselves eat better, but this has nothing to do with their enthusiasm for themselves, right?
However, this Li Xiaomao is also a master of puzzle solving, only to hear him say eloquently: "Of course, it doesn't matter to us if people have money, but since there is no longer a post station, we have a headache, originally people don't want to eat our meals, eat less at noon, and eat according to your own thoughts when you arrive at the post station at night...... It's annoying to death, and let people cook well, let's not just cook for these dozens of people, right, we have five thousand brothers ourselves, you can give your brothers a good breath of evil yesterday, our brothers have discussed it, as long as you don't dislike it, what's the use of our Huotou Camp brothers, just open your mouth. ”
Li Xiaomao slapped his chest with a 'pop' sound, although the other firehead soldiers did not gather around Hua Qianyue like Li Xiaomao, they also kept paying attention to the movements here, and when they saw Li Xiaomao expressing their meaning, they all nodded at this side.
Is that going to take them in?
Hua Qianyue had a momentary sense of unreality, and then her heart moved, can the 'subordinates' of the merchants of Nabang also use this influence to subtly influence them?
"Okay, the man who grabbed me so quickly."
Tong Yufei lifted the curtain and came in, but his tone was quite relaxed.
Hua Qianyue's eyebrows were crooked, and she moved to the left to vacate the position on the right.
"My cousin hasn't eaten yet, so I haven't eaten either."
Tong Yufei sat down and took the chopsticks handed by Li Xiaomao.
"I was going to look for you after dinner, I didn't want you to be here, just so I didn't have to run again, there will be rain in the afternoon, we won't leave, just here, according to the camp, you notify those merchants."
"Rain? How does my cousin know? ”
Hua Qianyue was stunned, when did Tong Yufei become a meteorological expert?
She just saw an ant moving on the road, and she had some guesses in her heart, but she didn't expect Tong Yufei to say it so surely, could it be that he was the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang?
"Cousin can look at the sky?"
"Look at the heavens." Tong Yufei glared at Hua Qianyue, "Didn't you teach me at the beginning." ”
"I'll teach you?" Hua Qianyue was surprised.
Tong Yufei made a gesture of touching his beard, "Qingyuan Town, you forgot!" ”
"Oh!" Hua Qianyue was stunned and gave a thumbs up to Tong Yufei.
