After upgrading to a third-level supermarket, Zhang Hongbin needs to accumulate more consumption to upgrade the fourth-level supermarket.

What made him devastated was that the fourth level actually needed a consumption of 100,000 taels of silver! I don't know why, I feel like I've been pitted......

According to this calculation, wouldn't the fifth level require a consumption of one million taels of silver? From the fifth level, there are products to repair the scars on your face, which means that you won't be able to restore your handsome little face in a few years? Never mind...... A man doesn't have to be so handsome, but it's a little more domineering and evil.

The existing strong crossbows, according to Zhang Hongbin's intentions, can also be sold in small quantities. The repeater is the king, especially this kind of copycat repeater actually has a single shot and a repeating adjustment knob, which is already a cold weapon version of the assault rifle! The effective range of the original strong crossbow was only a little more than 100 paces, and it could only be fired alone, and the sharpness of the arrow was not as good as that of the repeating crossbow, even if it was given to others, it could not beat itself.

Selling the old for money to develop the new is the consciousness that all superpowers must have. Not to mention the unique manufacturing process of those strong crossbows, which means that once damaged, there is no way to repair it, and there is no way to do it except replace one batch. As a one-time consumable, but also a used old item, selling it for money or something can only be beneficial to oneself and harmless.

Money, Zhang Hongbin still has a lot on hand, balance and consumption are different concepts, the former indicates how much money he has on hand, and the latter indicates how much money he has spent in the supermarket. I don't spend that much money, but it doesn't mean that I don't have money.

In fact, Zhang Hongbin still has about 200,000 taels of liquid capital stored in the supermarket, which he will not say to the public.

In the case of enjoying a nine-percent discount, Zhang Hongbin bought a large number of weapons, and in half a month, the weapons of 10,000 soldiers were reloaded. Of course, it is not a free replacement, and according to the method of arms procurement, the account books are open. You must distinguish your own money from your own public money, just as the treasury must be separated from the inner treasury, otherwise it will be a disaster for both your own forces and your own money.

Compressed biscuits and canned food were purchased by the military, and non-commissioned officers and officers who ate these two foods for the first time said they were very tasty. In fact, this kind of flavor is fragrant and full, and it is rare that there are a lot of compressed biscuits with oil and water, which is indeed a rare delicacy for people in this era. As for canned food, not to mention, having meat to eat is a landlord-level treatment, not to mention meat that tastes so good.

The purchase of compressed biscuits and canned food was put on the agenda, and the two things became munitions that were not sold to the outside world, and in fact were not enough to digest internally. Even if the supermarket is upgraded to the third level, the purchase limit is still there, which means that Zhang Hongbin has no way to open up the purchase.

Time passed day by day, and it began to enter winter, and the winter solstice was about to arrive in a blink of an eye.

It is rare that all the people in the territory of the Salvation Army live and work in peace and contentment, and even the displaced people who have only been here for a long time have been well resettled. Every family has a surplus, and even has money to buy some meat or cloth for their families at the beginning of this year, which was unimaginable before.

The three kinds of grains were sold to other places through the sales network of the guò family, and after the initial tasting, many places also accepted these three kinds of grains. In the final analysis, the price of these three kinds of grains is cheaper than the staple grains of rice and flour, and the price of rice and flour today is no longer something that ordinary people can afford casually.

Sweet potato porridge and corn porridge have begun to appear in other cities, and many people rely on this mixture of grains, so there is no need to be hungry and full.

Seeing that the winter solstice is coming, it is said that this time is a family reunion, but the Zhang family has moved to the Tongzhou Mansion, but Zhang Hongbin himself is already a thief, in order not to implicate the Zhang family, this year's winter solstice, Zhang Hongbin is afraid that he can only spend it alone.

Maybe the subordinates around him, those who also have no home, will accompany him to spend the winter solstice together, but without the company of his family, it is not that taste.

But as a BOSS, Zhang Hongbin naturally won't show this love. On the contrary, he took the initiative to use a little money in his private treasury to hold a grand banquet for all the officers and non-commissioned officers. Of course, this banquet was held on the night of the second day of the winter solstice, after all, among the soldiers, there were also many people with families, and they could not delay their warm time.

The winter solstice finally came, and in order to prepare for tomorrow's banquet, Zhang Hongbin and other subordinates devoted themselves to the preparations. Perhaps only in this way can he forget his family in his past and present lives and let himself smile all the time.

He is the spiritual support and supreme commander of this team, his every move will affect this army, and he doesn't want his homesickness to affect others. Further, a boss that is easy to see through cannot be considered a qualified boss.

The time was approaching evening, watching the sky slowly darken, Zhang Hongbin was still a little sad.

"Young Master, it's time to go home!" At this time, his personal maid Chunxiang hurriedly walked over.

"I've got to be busy, I'll be back later!" Zhang Hongbin didn't put up a shelf for his servant, after all, it was useless to put up a shelf.

"No, young master today, you have to go back, today is the winter solstice, you have to spend it at home!" Haruka said anxiously.

"What's hidden from me?" Haruka is like that, it's too easy to decipher.

"No, there's really nothing, it's just that today is the winter solstice, and Haruka wants to spend ...... with the young master" Haruka hurriedly thought of an excuse, but the acting was too bad.

"Okay, I'll go back and see what surprises you have waiting for me!" Zhang Hongbin smiled, turned around and walked towards his mansion.

Haruka breathed a sigh of relief, but hurriedly followed.

Home, not knowing when it started, gives a cold feeling. As the biggest boss of the Salvation Army, Zhang Hongbin has no other maidservants by his side except for a Chunxiang. Compared with Cao Cao and Luo Rucai, who has already married more than ten wives and concubines to himself at this stage, he is really too pure.

Pushing open the door, Zhang Hongbin found something different.

The hall is brightly lit, which is not usually the case. After all, I rarely use the hall at night, and usually I have either fallen asleep at this time, or I am in the study to deal with government affairs.

What kind of surprise did Chunxiang prepare, Zhang Hongbin began to look forward to it.

When I first came to the hall, there was nothing but a hot pot and a lot of hot pot ingredients. Does this girl look like she's going to eat hot pot with herself? But if it's just two people eating hot pot, isn't this table too big, and what's going on with these seats?

Just when Zhang Hongbin was still thinking, several figures jumped out.

"Brother, do you want to be a brother?" Zhang Hongwen's familiar figure appeared in front of Zhang Hongbin's eyes.

"Son, I really miss my mother!" Zhang Huang was so excited that he became a tearful person.

"Stinky boy, don't you know the truth of 'parents who suffer from the skin'?" As soon as Mr. Zhang came out, he was scolded.

The family gathered around Zhang Hongbin in a blink of an eye, carefully watching whether this stinky boy had grown up, whether he had become more handsome, and whether the scars on his face mattered or something, as if he was watching a rare animal.

"Daddy? Mother? Eldest brother? Why are you here?! Zhang Hongbin finally said something after a long time.

"You also said that you don't look at what your identity is now, just like you, even if you put on makeup and come to the same state capital, others can easily recognize it. No, if you want to have a reunion on the winter solstice, we have to come to you cautiously in the same state capital! Master Zhang immediately complained.

"What should you do if you come here so rashly and your things are discovered by the court and other anti-thief spies?" Zhang Hongbin asked worriedly.

"Rest assured, we're taking the secret route, and we have a stand-in in the house to cover it up. At least rush back before the day after tomorrow, there will be no problems. So, don't say anything bad today, it's rare to have a winter solstice, how about a family reunion dinner? Zhang Hongwen came forward and said.

"Oh, okay, everybody, sit down!" Zhang Hongbin realized that everyone had been standing for a while.

The family sat around the table, and it was around this time that Zhang Hongbin came back to his senses in surprise. I simply said a few words to my family, and at the same time knew that Zhang Hongwu would not be able to have a reunion dinner with everyone this year, he had already become an officer in Shanxi, responsible for exterminating the bandits in Shanxi, and whether he could come back this year was a matter of two words.

In the family, Lao Tzu is a landlord, the eldest son is a big businessman, the second son is a military attache of the imperial court, and the third son is a first-class thief, which is really a wonderful family.

But at this moment, all identities were diluted, and a family was a family, eating a reunion dinner around the warm hot pot.

"Chili peppers, the stimulation is irritating, but the taste is really good, and it is appetizing. It's a pity that people are old and can't eat too much. Master Zhang sighed while eating. Today is an exception, if you were not allowed to speak during dinner before.

"Anyway, the mandarin duck hot pot prepared tonight, if you can't eat spicy, just eat the light one." Zhang Huang immediately sandwiched a piece of light food for him.

"Brother, you are also powerful, you are getting bigger and bigger, and now the court has nothing to do with you." Zhang Hongwen teased.

"That's me pretending to be a grandson, if I say that the land of the three counties has been occupied by me, the border army of the imperial court will come to encircle and suppress me as soon as possible." Zhang Hongbin smiled bitterly.

"I think back then, Ming Taizu also abided by the strategy of 'building a high wall, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king', you didn't jump out and shout, that is your cleverness!" Master Zhang was immediately amazed.

The family talked and laughed, and this meal was very warm.

In the end, Zhang Hongbin was also happy, drank a lot of wine, and went back to the room in a daze, and his body was on the bed, but he fell asleep directly.

It was the most comfortable night he'd slept on this year.
