Chapter 166: Procurement of Materials

Claire received more than a dozen boxes of supplies, but these things were only small for nearly a hundred soldiers, and people carried them on their shoulders, while many more were empty-handed.

But even then, there were a lot more supplies than usual, and the soldiers had a smile on their faces because they could improve their lives.

Muyang looked at the supplies, including tea, cigarettes, coffee, rum, butter, raw beef, condiments, and clothes and shoes for 28 laborers.

However, Mu Yang felt that these things were still too few.

"Claire, let the soldiers wait at the entrance of the village, I'll see if I can get something, there are still too few cigarettes and coffee, we can't let these lads fight hungry."

In fact, it is impossible to say that you are hungry, but it is certain that you will not eat well.

"Company commander, is there any other way you can get something?" Claire now has a new understanding of Muyang's methods, and asked expectantly.

"Of course, I just don't know what the lads need?" Mu Yang said affirmatively.

"If there were some more cigarettes, sugar and fruit and alcohol, it would be great. But those little ones are big eaters, and no amount of food you get is enough for them to eat. Claire said.

Muyang smiled: "Don't worry Claire, I still have a way to satisfy the appetite of the young men." ”

Muyang asked Claire to lead the boys to leave first, and walked around the village alone.

This small French village was partially occupied by British troops. But more of them are left vacant. The original inhabitants have fled to the city of Paris. Many empty houses were left here. Muyang found an empty house far away from the regiment headquarters and walked in.

A thought. Muyang returned to his modern home.

He sat on the sofa and thought about it, feeling that it was actually quite troublesome to prepare supplies in modern time and space, and the most important thing was that he had to do everything by himself, if someone saw it and asked, Muyang would not be able to explain.

Muyang directly traveled to the time and space of the Anti-Japanese War and returned to the manor in Malmö, Sweden.

He opened the study and walked out, and when he walked through the bedroom, he secretly opened the door and took a look inside, and found that Xia Kejun was still the same as when he left. Still sleeping peacefully in bed.

Muyang didn't bother her, went downstairs directly, and found his housekeeper Anderson.

"There's a list of items here, the quantity is marked on it, you buy it according to what is written on it, and ask the seller to pack the box. By the way, everything must not be marked with any trademarks. Mu Yang took out a list and handed it to Anderson to explain.

"Yes sir, I'll arrange it." Anderson got in the car with the driver and left.

The maid brought breakfast, a glass of milk, and a cheese sandwich. A few slices of sausage and a boiled egg, a simple breakfast.

After breakfast, Muyang came to the lawn of the courtyard for a walk, and the maid knew Muyang's habits. I prepared tea early on the coffee table in the courtyard.

Leaning on the bench, sipping fragrant tea, taking out a book to read. Enjoy this rare comfort and purity.

Muyang was fascinated by what he was watching, and Xia Kejun's voice sounded in his ears. "Brother Mu, why did you get up so early."

"Have you eaten breakfast?" Mu Yang stretched out his hand. Holding Xia Kejun's Wei Yi, he pulled her to his side and sat down.

"I've already eaten, I'm a little snooze." Xia Kejun leaned very meekly beside Muyang.

"By the way, how are you learning Swedish?" Muyang asked.

"It's been more than two months, and I've only learned more than 300 words and dozens of sentences, and I always forget, Brother Mu, I'm too stupid." Xia Kejun said with some annoyance.

"Don't be in a hurry to learn slowly, anyway, we have time, don't I also study on my own, the progress is not much better than yours, you are already very good." Muyang encouraged.

Fortunately, English is the second language of Sweden, Muyang communicates in English here, there is no problem, but it is always good to learn Swedish, after all, this is his base in the future, it is the place where he lives, if the language is not understood, it is still a little inconvenient, and there is no guarantee that every Swede can speak English.

"I think it won't be long before Mother Wu and her family will come over, and then you will have someone to talk to." Muyang said.

"Yes, we used to live together for a year, but after we separated, I really missed them." Xia Kejun said.

In fact, Xia Kejun thinks more about Xiaoying, Xia Kejun and Xiaoying are of the same age, Muyang has been away for a year, and Xiaoying usually chats and talks with her, the relationship between Xiaoying and Xia Kejun is a bit like a personal maid and a young lady in ancient times, and some like friends.

Xia Kejun knows a little English, but it is limited to limited communication, he usually communicates with the housekeeper Anderson, both sides are working very hard, so they can understand each other's meaning, and it is really bitter Anderson, so in addition to communicating with Muyang, Xia Kejun can only read books by himself, Muyang hopes that the Zhang family will come quickly, he is really afraid that Xia Kejun will be suffocated, you must know that there is no one around to communicate, people will be very lonely.

"Soon, didn't they send a telegram before they got on the ship, it is estimated that it will be there in half a month, and then I will ask Anderson to pick them up at the port." Muyang said.

Drinking tea and chatting, the two will read a book together, and then discuss the plot and characters in the book, it is very quiet and warm, without a trace of fireworks, Muyang enjoys this feeling very much.

Anderson is back, followed by a cargo truck, and it seems that he has really bought a lot.

After Anderson got out of the car, he stepped on the lawn without hurry, walked to Muyang and Xia Kejun, bent down slightly and said, "Sir, according to your shopping list, all the purchases have been completed." And they have all been packed into wooden boxes, and all goods have no packaging nameplates. ”

"Well done, Anderson." Muyang said with a smile.

"It's my job to serve you." Anderson was polite to arrive. It is worthy of being an elite housekeeper trained by the housekeeper school, whether it is etiquette or speaking and doing things, there is a kind of rule, not impatient or impatient, like a spring breeze.

Everything was put into the newly built cellar and built on the edge of the yard. It is now positioned as a material transit storage station by Muyang.

The new cellar space is very large, Muyang has moved the red wine shelves in the original cellar here, and when he is ready to have leisure and energy, he will fill it all up and make a new wine cellar, for red wine, Muyang still likes it very much.

And now, Muyang has a new idea.

He was going to buy good wines from 1945 onwards, but now that he is in France, the best place to produce wines, and the vintage is still 1918, so he can find more and better wines.

Muyang asked Anderson to buy a lot of materials, so he only put half of the materials into the space, these things are enough for the boys to use for half a month, and he also knows that if there is a large number of materials of unknown origin, it may also arouse the suspicion of others, so Muyang only brought half of it, and it will not be bad if it is placed here anyway.
