"Sleep, what about the cannon?" Liu Xin'er circled around and didn't see any other figures, blinked suspiciously, sat down and skillfully inserted two beads for Ruan Mianmian.

"He, I guess I left after I fell asleep last night." Ruan Mianmian shrugged helplessly, "The quilt prepared for him hasn't been opened." ”

"So you..." Jiang Xinyue led everyone to sit down around the small table and asked half a sentence tentatively.

"What do you think, nothing happened, he first analyzed with me where the stolen goods and evidence of the general's wife were hidden, and then chatted with me and coaxed me to talk for a while, and then I fell asleep, I just woke up, he had already left, I guess he rushed back to the barracks to deal with the affairs of the general's wife." Ruan Mianmian looked at herself in her glasses and rolled her eyes amusedly.

"Okay, okay, it's because we've thought about it too much, and we're coming to you now to discuss the matter of buying supplies today." Mu Ruqing took out an account book, spread out a page and put it on the table for everyone to see, "Last night, Yue'er and I discussed a lot of things that need to be purchased, you take a look at those that need to be added or subtracted, and we will go to buy them separately in the next two days." It is a difficult road from here to the capital of Mobei, and it will be very uncomfortable if there is a shortage of materials. ”

Everyone gathered around, and Ruan Mianmian also moved from the dressing table and looked at the list made by Mu Ruqing. The list is very detailed, from daily necessities, to emergency medicine, horses, as well as cold clothing and spare tents, all neatly listed, and even the quantities have been carefully considered, which shows how much thought they put into it.

"It's already very detailed, but Sand City is so big, won't there be so many goods we want." Ruan Mianmian pursed the broken hair around her ears, and when she talked about business, she was always meticulous.

"It's not worrying, Shacheng is not large, but it is a commercial city, most people are doing business, and the goods coming and going from all over the country are handled here, just like a Maqiao town that is dozens of times larger, even if there is not enough goods for a while, it can be transported from nearby cities within two or three days, not afraid of shortages." Zhu En chuckled, she had been here once, and naturally she knew how amazing this place was, not to mention that when she was in Mobei, she also had to pass through Shacheng to trade with the Central Plains, so she knew more than others.

"That's fine, then divide the labor, see who is suitable to buy which item, and give it all to him, and then settle the account." Lu Gui glanced at Zhu En, "This money will come from the British Palace, after all, it is our marriage, and it is already embarrassing to let you accompany me, and I can't let you break the bank." ”

"To say this is not to treat us as relatives, my brother is married, and we are naturally the sister-in-law of the whole process, I think so, you can contribute to the rest, but the diet is made up of a sachet, which is considered to be for your heart, and it is also for Sister Zhuen to add makeup, so you are not allowed to shirk." Ruan Mianmian raised her eyebrows and smiled slyly.

"According to you, according to you, who doesn't know that you have made a lot of money with a pint of incense, and I think we are the first to make a bargain from you, right?" After this Tai Chi, the atmosphere gradually became warmer, and Lu Gui became indifferent to his speech.

"Leave this task of buying and storing food to me, and I only have some opinions about eating." Ruan Mianmian was satisfied and touched her stomach.

Lu Gui's wedding is a matter of two countries, it stands to reason that they take this opportunity to slap them a lot, but no matter how others give gifts, it is not as good as the love of a pin of incense, Ruan Mianmian said that these are also with Mu Ruqing's acquiescence, a pin of incense is indeed not bad for money, and the two county lords of their two counties are also jaw-dropping prices, so there is really no gift that they can't take, but for those flashy faces, they want to really make some effort.

The number of people in the whole team is more than 1,000 people, even if each person bears ten catties of food, it is already tens of thousands of catties, and the food will be replenished every time he goes to a city.

"Leave the food to Mianmian, then leave the horses to me and Zhuen, we are all experienced and will choose good horses." Lu Gui also quickly picked the field he was good at, he remembered most of the time wandering around the world, horses are indispensable, and Mobei, where Zhuen is located, lives on animal husbandry, and knows more about the habits of horses.

"These, gifts such as silk and satin will be handed over to me and Sister Xinyue, although I am not rich and wealthy in the Hou Mansion of Anyang, I have seen a lot." Liu Xin'er quickly claimed this item.

When everyone finished their tasks, they were embarrassed to find that there was still no one in charge, and at a glance, they knew that no one seemed to be familiar with these at the scene, buying warm materials such as furs.

"Ahh Not to mention that they are all young, and the winter in Beijing is not cold enough to freeze to death, and a few of them naturally don't need this kind of luxurious fur, so they don't know how to choose.

"It's not easy to get a fur candidate, but now there is one, but you can't think of it." Lu Gui shook his head and sighed, with a sigh of emotion.

"Oh? Who else in our group would understand this? The girls looked sideways.

"In the kitchen, my sworn brother Long Dafu, you forget, he was born in the Northland, which is the coldest place, and their village is all hunting for a living, relying on the sale of furs in exchange for food, if he doesn't understand, then I think no one understands this." Lu Gui didn't sell Guanzi, and directly pointed it out.

"Yes, why didn't we think of it, I think he is also willing to go out for a walk, and the food in the barracks is not the responsibility of the two of them, so let them go and buy it. Ruan Mianmian slapped his palms, and couldn't wait to run out to the kitchen tent to find Long Dafu and Qin Feng. ”

The kitchen tent was specially set up for these masters, and there were many ordinary soldiers, and it was the other military cooks who set up a large pot to cook in the open space. In addition to a few trustworthy handymen in the kitchen tent, there were only two chefs in charge, Qin Feng and Long Dafu, and when Ruan Mianmian rushed in, they were putting the buns on the steamer, and there were already a few plates of buns with various fillings on the board next to them, steaming hot, as if they had just come out of the pot for a while.

"It's so fragrant, what kind of stuffed bun is it today?" Ruan Mianmian came in, wiped his hands on the handkerchief, picked one up by himself, and kept exchanging his hands so hot that he still took a small bite.

"Did the county lord taste what kind of stuffing?" Qin Feng was more lively, and he was very willing to amuse Ruan Mianmian with them.

"It's like amaranth, but it's more fragrant, and there's a meaty and sweet aroma, which is really delicious." Ruan Mianmian chewed carefully, and the more she tasted it, the more she felt that this bun was very tasty.

"It's amaranth put in, but it also adds a little caution from Qin Feng." Long Dafu smiled and rubbed his hands proudly.

"Is it milk?" Ruan Mianmian thought back to the many things he had eaten in the past, and he always felt familiar.

"The county lord is smart, the milk and noodles used for the skin of this bun, and a lot of donkey meat are added to the filling, so the fragrance is peculiar and not greasy." Qin Feng picked up some from the cage drawer and put them on two large plates, and put them on the table next to Ruan Mianmian, "The masters haven't eaten breakfast yet, and these buns have to be brought back by the county lord later, I think they will like it too." ”

Ruan Mianmian is gentle and gentle, kind and mellow, and in the eyes of Yipinxiang's own people, she doesn't have the slightest county master's shelf, and she is happy to help in the kitchen, so Qin Feng and they never shy away from letting her do it.

"Naturally, it's good, by the way, I'm here to find you for something, and I forgot about eating too happily. That's right, we need people to buy some animal fur for warmth, but after thinking about it, only Daifuku can choose good fur, so I want to give you a day off, you go out for a walk, and also buy some back, and give it to others, we don't feel at ease. ”

Long Dafu has always been responsive, at this moment can have a place to use himself in addition to cooking, how can there be a reason to excuse himself, he immediately responded with a smile, and took a few more buns and piled them on the plate, piled them up into two hills, and I was afraid that they would not have enough to eat.

After explaining the matter, Ruan Mianmian returned to his tent with two hills, and the others were still sitting upright and drinking tea, seeing that she was holding her own bun in her mouth, and her hands were still full, she hurriedly stepped forward to take it and put it on the table, and the family gathered around to eat breakfast.

Breakfast was quickly finished, and the two large plates of steamed buns were swept away by them, and everyone was satisfied, so they went out separately and took their own people to purchase supplies.

Ruan Mianmian is in charge of food, this thing is not difficult to say, but the amount is huge, not only to ensure that the food is convenient to store, but also to take into account the convenience of the team to carry, it is also a brain-burning errand. She didn't delay, and Hayabusa pretended to be shopping, and none of them were on guard and protected not far from the crowd, and the three of them walked along the bustling street to the rice market, which specializes in the circulation of grain.

Shacheng has a long history and was an important commercial hub many years ago, so the market has its size and regulations. The four categories of clothing, food, housing and transportation are divided into different areas, which do not interfere with each other and are connected everywhere, no matter how tricky the requirements, the merchants here can do their best.

Ruan Mianmian arrived at the rice market, which is naturally a place to sell all kinds of food, large dense shops are lined up one after another, at a glance the whole street is hung with different signs, those scattered small merchants are directly on the street to sell stalls, if you see any goods, the boss will take customers to his yard to choose slowly.

"Hayabusa, you see, there are a lot of merchants here." Ruan Mianmian had already put on a veil, so her appearance did not alarm the others. People on the street come and go, bargaining loudly, trading large and small all the time, and those who are not talking and shouting, the world is the most visible in the street market.
