Chu Hao is shopping, not that his things are not busy enough, but that pleasing his second dog is the top priority. Nothing was as important as his second dog, and even more so he just took some time out to visit the market.

Well, it really doesn't feel like a bazaar. There was no selling, there weren't too many people, and the things sold were lackluster, but there weren't many customers.

Now, every half month, a small area is opened up in the castle for nearby residents to buy and sell some vegetables and other things. Some people with fast brains would also bring needles and threads to sew and mend the clothes of the soldiers.

But now this is the last time. After all, Guancheng is not an ordinary city, and it is impossible to allow ordinary civilians to stay for a long time.

The women who sew and mend the clothes are young women and girls, and their hands and feet are fast, and the stitches are fine, and even if they make a patch, they try to choose the same color of cloth. Clothes that have been sewn several times cannot be seen at all without looking closely.

A soldier took the clothes and praised: "Auntie's manual work is really good. ”

The aunt who sewed said politely: "What is this?" I didn't even embroider it for you. ”

"Alas, it's a pity that I won't be able to find my aunt to sew clothes in the future." The materials of the soldiers' clothes are thick and wear-resistant, but no matter how much fabric they have, they can't withstand the wear and tear caused by sweat and various training.

However, the clothes issued in the army are limited, especially as a military area far away from the capital, because it is not placed under the noses of the bigwigs, even if something is deducted, no one will find out; Even with the ability of Lord Cao, he can only ensure the use of his own Cao family's army, and other non-direct armies can only guarantee the basic supply. When encountering a boss like Chu Hao, not only does he not deduct his share, but he can also find his own way, and there are very few who benefit the soldiers; More often than not, under the already limited ration, they also had to drink the blood of soldiers. As a result, many of the soldiers were not uniformly dressed.

"Huh? Is the little brother going to be transferred elsewhere? The aunt who mended the clothes was puzzled.

The soldier scratched his head: "No." Didn't you say that this was the last fair? ”

"The next time the market is changed to ten miles away, the original barren post is opposite the current Shunyang post. Know? It was not the aunt who answered him, but Chu Hao, who was waiting on the side.

The soldier didn't see the person clearly, so he bowed his head and thanked him directly: "I know, I have to pass by every day when I run." Thank you, otherwise I wouldn't have known about it. ”

That's right, now running is a compulsory course for all soldiers in Shunyang Pass. After a period of long-distance running, the officers found that the soldiers had better physique and stamina. These two are important conditions for the soldiers to survive the war, and they must be immediately added to the daily training.

When the aunt saw Chu Hao, she quickly put down the clothes of the soldier in her hand, took out two big bags from the basket on the side, stood up and handed them over: "Lord Qianhu, the clothes are ready, you check them." ”

A thousand households! The soldier was stunned for a moment, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the person beside him turned out to be Chu Hao, and the whole person was stunned.

"No, my aunt's craftsmanship can be trusted." Chu Hao's expression softened slightly, and put the prepared money into the aunt's hand, "This is the final payment, auntie, you take it." ”

The grasslands brought back a lot of skins. In addition to a large amount of cowhide and sheepskin, there are also wolf skins. I made a cloak for Ruan Bai before. Although Yungu's handiwork is good, they have not dealt with materials such as wolf skin, and the effect is about to be made.

This aunt is the wife of a hunter, and she used to be a well-known embroiderer, but now that she is a little older, her eyes are not good, so she does some simple sewing work. But I have to say that this aunt is very good at handling fur.

His second dog has smoked a strip, and it's time to wear new clothes.

He suddenly felt something unusual, and when he turned his head to look, he didn't notice anything.

Xu Wu noticed that he didn't need Chu Hao's orders, and said directly: "My subordinates went down to check who was there just now." ”

Chu Hao nodded.

Xu Wu bowed down to receive the order and retreated silently.

Chu Hao continued shopping as if nothing had happened.

Since the post station was built, Ruan Bai moved to live in the post station, and of course he moved into the new house with him. Now that there are fewer people in the family, he has to be responsible for buying groceries and going home. Since the weather has become hotter and hotter, Ruan Bai's appetite has become worse and worse, and he can only nibble on two bites of fresh vegetables every day, making him like a vegetarian, and he has become thinner.

Ruan Bai himself felt that there was no problem. He is now dressed to look thin and undressed...... Chops. The number of abs is still one. Sure enough, if there is no professional nutritionist, it just won't work.

In the leisurely afternoon, on the floor of the small dormitory dedicated to Yicheng, a large straw mat was spread, and the murderous former agent was half-lying on it, a little wanting to go to the infirmary to catch two doctors to develop a branch discipline or something.

It's a pity that the doctors in the hospital are all registered and belong directly to the army, and they have nothing to do with him.

"Sir?" Ye Dong rarely saw Ruan Bai in a daze, but the whole person was nested on the third child, and he was still holding a big fat and a little fat in front of him, even if the sun was not so strong now, it would still be hot and stupid, right?

"Huh?" Ruan Bai looked up lazily, "What's the matter?" "Huh? Why did you forget that there is such a basic Ye Dong at home?

Ye Dong, who was helpless at the beginning, was left behind by Ruan Bai and was responsible for taking care of a large number of fields for Ruan Bai as a hired worker/long-term worker.

Of course, it is completely unrealistic to rely on Ye Dong alone to take care of more than 100 acres of land. Moreover, Ye Dong is better at planting herbs, and he also knows how to cultivate fungi a little bit.

As Ruan Bai expected, with the return of the victims, the hired workers were very pleased. Ruan Bai invited three other experienced and honest couples who were willing to endure hardships. They are actually not very old, but they look a little rougher, and they don't have children around. The accommodation in the wilderness is like paradise for them.

The arrival of these three couples finally freed Ye Dong from the heavy field labor, and he was quickly assigned a small courtyard in the deserted post to cultivate fungi and grow medicinal herbs.

Alas, Ye Dong's work is already very busy now, and if he is asked to do anything else, he will definitely not be busy.

Ruan Bai could only reluctantly give up his plan.

Ye Dong has a basket in his hand, which contains the best vegetables picked today. This is specially prepared for Ruan Bai and Chu Hao, but today is a little special. He brushed aside the top layer of oily green vegetables, revealing a bowl of purple-black fruit below: "Master, this is the fallen fruit sent by Brother Ah Qiang today, and it has been in the well for a long time, can you taste it?" ”

Falling fruit is a wild fruit unique to Shunyang Pass in this season. However, it is rare to leave it until it is so ripe, and most of them will be eaten by birds and birds. Even if they stay, most of them will leave a mark of gnawing and scratching, and the appearance will definitely not be so beautiful.

Since the beginning of summer, Ruan Bai has eaten fallen fruits many times. Now when I see such a bowl of good-looking fruits, I can't help but wonder that I took one and threw it in my mouth. The sourness is already very light, the sweetness is more pronounced, and because it has been put in the well, the heat has been removed, and the taste is more crisp.

"Not bad." Ruan Bai nodded, "This is Ah Qiang's own planting?" ”

The big fat pressed Ruan Bai's chest and propped it up, turned his head and pointed his wet nose at the bowl of falling fruits, and pointed at Ruan Bai: "Huh? ”

Chubby licked Ruan Bai's face and wagged his tail flatteringly.

Ruan Bai slapped it twice: "Dogs can't eat sweet!" Then he stood up and put the bowl in the cupboard.

The third child is ready to move.

Ruan Bai's murderous gaze swept over at once: "Third child, if you dare to push the cabinet again, believe it or not, I won't comb you for three days!" ”

The third child's tail suddenly clamped. As a large dog with a lot of hair, the third child is called a majestic dog in winter, but in summer it is not ordinary heat at all.

Even if the moulting season has long ended, how can you not comb your hair for three days if you are used to combing your hair at least once a day?!

The third child gave in and licked his two cubs in frustration.

Big Fat and Little Fat saw that Daddy was useless, and lay down on the mat like a dead dog; It didn't take long for the ground to get hot, and I rolled over and rolled to the other side.

Ye Dong admired Ruan Bai very much: "How does the master know that this is planted by Brother Ah Qiang himself?" ”

"Look at the way it looks, you know it's not wild." Ruan Bai snorted, "Go back and ask Ah Qiang if he has planted more?" If there is more, say I'll ask him to buy it. I buy as much as he has. ”

The fruit tasted a bit like grapes, so he could try to get some wine and play with it. It's better than that kind of wine.

Not long after Ye Dong left, Chu Hao came back. He ate the fallen fruit fed by Ruan Bai himself, and his heart was sweet: "Ah Qiang's brain is active, but he is a little wooden." ”

"Hmm. Let's take a look at it another day, if it's a good seed, it can be regarded as a specialty. "However, in general, except for particularly picky varieties, this wild fruit is actually a kind of wild grass.

"Specialty? This thing is not released. Chu Hao didn't think it was very suitable, "If you want to sell something at a suitable price, you have to go farther away." ”

"Fresh can't be shipped out, you can make dried fruits, make fruit wine or something."

"Winemaking?" Chu Hao was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Whatever the second brother does, my brother will support you." ”

"Hmm." Ruan Bai hooked his lips and smiled, raised his head slightly and kissed his lips. It's good to grow taller, and you don't need to step on your toes!

Of course, Chu Hao was happy to accept it. Just as they were about to exchange the taste of falling fruits, the fourth child's voice came from outside: "Wang! ”

Immediately, a slightly trembling voice came: "My lord, Steward Cao sent someone to say that several adults will dine and stay in Lord Cao's mansion tonight!" ”

"Okay, I got it."

"The villain quits."

Chu Hao glanced at Ruan Bai silently.

Ruan Bai looked over inexplicably. What do you mean by saying it directly with your mouth?

Chu Hao opened the two big burdens, shook the wolf skin that was very hot inside, and then took out a sheepskin robe and shook it.

Ruan Bai looked at it and sweated: "I'll go to the kitchen anyway." What do you want to eat at night? ”

"What you do, I eat." He is not as picky as Ruan Bai, "Someone is here today?" ”

"Hmm. Xiao Xizi brought it, and the others don't know each other, and they will stay with Brother Cao tonight. Ruan Bai said casually, "Will anyone recognize you?" Do you want me to help? "For example, destroying corpses and destroying traces.

"Whether you recognize it or not, it's not easy to kill a few little bugs." Chu Hao pulled Ruan Bai to the kitchen, "What are you going to do with that post house just now?" ”

"Keep it up and take a look. The little bugs are quite interesting. ”
