Chapter 161: Secret Fight

For pragmatic sisters and brothers, seeing the heavy snow, appreciating the snow and chanting poetry, there is nothing.

The younger brother followed behind the senior sister, caring about the radishes and greens.

Well, after listening to a lesson that night and sleeping again, Min Bai finally woke up.

I knew that I had to stop in moderation, and I didn't dare to listen to my husband's lecture again.

Senior Brother Xue estimated that it was the same, it had been snowing heavily for days, and no one came.

But the little brother who is smooth is unhindered.

The eighth aunt is quite clever, and when she saw the snow, she immediately bought enough vegetables for the beautiful girl to eat for a few days. The tofu was bought on two large boards, which were immediately cut open and frozen on the roof.

Of course, the price is much more expensive than usual, but at this time, I am very happy to be able to go out without going out.

The little brother Shunxin who is responsible for delivering food, the boss of the West District, who is numbered West One, is quite happy.

"On such a snowy day, our business is doing well, and many families have to buy vegetables on their behalf. Especially in some large households, even the chef is not willing to go out, and would rather add money to us to buy on his behalf. So the boss specially hired several carriages to deliver food from east to west, north and south. I'm out today, and I've taken on a lot of business along the way. If you don't add tolls, I will earn it. ”

After Su Dong found his subordinates for a meeting that day, he decided to give everyone a certain amount of autonomy.

For example, how much old customers consume, they can send it for free a few times.

As long as you are willing to change your thinking, it is not difficult for rules and favors to coexist.

Doesn't this also motivate old customers?

The beautiful lady was not polite, and only poured him a bowl of hot ginger tea. I went to Changchun Daoist again and asked for a package of medicinal herbs, asked the West to go back, and cooked everyone to drink it at night.

Ward off wind and cold, prevent illness.

Even though he knew that it would be very bitter, Xiyi smiled and thanked him and left.

Turning her head, the senior sister followed behind the junior brother again, caring about the house and frost protection.

I don't dare to ask Mr. Shangguan to give a lecture, but it's always okay to ask, right?

Then, the little sister learned that it turned out that in the farther north, there was a plow pulled by a dog. Cut through the ice and catch fish. There is even a kind of snow hut, which is built underground.

The beautiful girl was fascinated by it, but Min Bai became more and more big.

Mr. Shangguan is a person who does not like to teach students directly how to do it, he is only responsible for teaching various methods. You'll have to figure out for yourself how to do it.

Min Bai wrote, wrote, calculated, smeared, and pondered for a few days. When the snow stopped and the sky cleared, I asked one of the guards to bring the letter back.

Before sending it, he showed it to his husband, but after the official order was finished, he didn't say a word, and he didn't even give an expression.

Really stingy!

After another two or three days, seeing that the road was basically cleared, Aunt Qiu was willing to let the beautiful girl go, took the hitchhike of the vegetable delivery brother, and entered the city.

At this time, the advantage of Bailongguan's remote location is reflected. Because there are few people nearby, the main road is cleared and it is quite clean.

But when you go to the bustling area of the city, it is muddy.

When the beautiful lady finally came back with Senior Brother Xue, whom she hadn't seen for a few days, her shoes and trouser legs were all soaked with slush.

Senior Brother Xue has the official position of military attache and wears cowhide high boots, which is annoying to look at in comparison!

His Royal Highness felt sorry for his senior sister and hurriedly asked her to go back to the house to change her clothes and shoes.

ran to the footprints of the beautiful lady again, stretched out his feet and compared, and recorded the size. If you plan to turn around, you will send a message and ask the craftsman of the palace to make a pair of leather boots and send it.

Xue Shen glanced at it, and waited for the beautiful girl to change her clothes before she said deliberately.

"Senior sister, according to the rules of the imperial court, civilians are not allowed to wear boots, and senior brother will go back to give you double clogs. Later, when you wear it to a banquet, it must be chic, and you are not afraid of snow. ”

Yes?

Tomorrow? Banquet? Still not allowed to wear boots?

Min Bai's eyes widened, and Aunt Qiu also complained when she heard this.

"Our Dayan is good elsewhere, but this clothes are too wide. Civilians were not allowed to wear boots except in the bitter cold north of the capital. You can only wear the kind of cowhide straight boots, which are bulky, heavy and not warm. Once upon a time, I was in the capital, and in winter, I had to resolutely not go out, and I had to prepare two or three pairs of cloth shoes to replace when I went out. ”

Min Bai frowned, secretly wrote down the matter, and decided to go back and write a letter to his father.

Civilians are not allowed to wear silk, but boots are a necessity to keep warm in winter. If this is not allowed, it will be too impersonal.

If you are afraid that civilians will kill cattle because of this, it is better to stipulate that only sheepskin boots can be worn, wouldn't it be better?

Mei Niang smiled and thanked her brother for her kindness, but she didn't want it, "I saw a pair of clogs in Zhang's house today, and I tried to come over, but they were too difficult to wear, and I was afraid of falling." Otherwise, bring a few extra pairs of shoes. ”

Aunt Qiu said, "That's different. Civilians' clogs are thin-bottomed, and it is naturally not easy to walk in ice and snow. The kind of high-bottomed clogs that your brother said were worn by celebrities and noblewomen. If you go to a banquet, people's houses must be clean, but they look good in that one. ”

Xue Shen glanced at the junior brother proudly, "It's still the eldest aunt who has insight, and this matter is decided." A group of young ladies wear leather boots, and my junior sister wears clogs, which must be good-looking and not fall behind. ”

The little junior brother lost a game first, and he was slightly aggrieved.

Mei Niang said, "Someone else's birthday, what do I want to look so good?" Let's see what business we can do. ”

When I went to the hometown today, I didn't expect Aunt Mei to give her a post. It was the fifteen-year-old lady of an official in Jiangzhou and her birthday, and she was invited to play.

The beautiful girl didn't want to go, but Aunt Mei persuaded her.

Those eunuchs have long been very curious about her, so it is better to go out to meet people generously, and save people from talking behind their backs, and also look for business opportunities by the way.

It's a pity that the beautiful lady's new clothes haven't been finished yet, but Aunt Mei promises that she will be rushed out. told her to go to the old garden early the day after tomorrow to meet, anyway, she has a dressing maid there who is responsible for helping her dress up.

Lin Junwu heard the interjection, "Then you remember to bring the fat powder made by Mr., I don't think you usually use it much." Your aunt loves her so much that she remembers to bring it to her. ”

The beautiful lady hurriedly said, "It's not that I don't love it, I'm just lazy, I must remember." ”

Shangguan Ling didn't mind such trivial matters, and only asked the right thing, "Your business has been negotiated?" ”

Mei Niang thought of this outsourcing idea, and he also wanted to know if it could be implemented.

Xue Shen replied, when he applied to General Yan, General Yan was worried about the cold weather, and the soldiers who were sick in the army were worried about the increase due to improper diet, so he agreed.

Who knew that the stupid and bold soldiers who had experienced the plague incident with Xue Shen last time heard that they could not cook, and they also wanted to take advantage of it for a few days.

So General Yan drew five more teams of personal soldiers and handed them over to Xue Shen to handle.

So now there are a total of 150 people, a total of 15 squads, and they need to provide cooking services.

After discussing with Su Dong, Meiniang planned to find fifteen families to serve from the nearest military camp.

And these soldiers do not want to pay for it, but only give a small cup of each person's ration in proportion and give it to the cooks as a reward.

As an intermediary, the Shunxin little brothers also have to find a cooking family to collect the round-trip fare, which is tentatively seven cents a time. If the spring flowers bloom, it can be appropriately cheaper.

In fact, Xue Shen was a little worried, "You have to pay for this work, is anyone willing?" ”

The beautiful girl smiled.

His Royal Highness, who cares about prices, hurriedly pulled back a game, "I'm so willing!" It has been snowing in the past few days, and brown rice has been sold for more than a dozen dollars a catty. Fifteen people, how can they make up more than a pound. Where can I buy it? ”

I haven't bought rice for a long time, and the elder brother who has been eating Yulu is a little aggrieved.
