Yuan Rui was sitting on the ridge and thinking about something, Xiaohe jumped over, shouting from afar.

"Young master, young master, Sister Xu is here, go back quickly."

Yuan Rui was a little surprised, Miss Xu rushed to Tonghai at this time, is there something big, it can't be the illness of the Duchess of the Kingdom......

Originally, when he came back from Yangzhou, Yuan Rui was worried that Xiaohe was used to it there and didn't want to come back.

Seeing that she was more concerned about the shop business, she also specially asked her opinion, but as soon as Xiaohe heard that he was going home, he immediately went to clean up his things happily, which made Yuan Rui confused.

How did he know that Xiaohe was interested in it because this business was given to her by the young master, and Xiaohe was happiest to be with him, whether he made money or not, and what did it matter.

During the time he came back, Xiaohe was still the same Xiaohe, happily by his side all day long, no matter what kind of environment he experienced, he didn't change his childishness.

When the two returned home, they just entered the courtyard gate, and first saw the gifts in the courtyard, which were full of the whole yard, mostly for food, and there were many ornaments, which were very valuable when they looked at it, Yuan Rui was startled.

"County Lord, what are you doing, taking so many things!"

Seeing that Miss Xu and a man were sitting on the edge of the stone table drinking tea, and Uncle Wang was standing on the side waiting, Yuan Rui hurriedly asked.

"It's all given by someone else, and it's not worth much, I'm just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha."

Miss Xu didn't care very much. This time, my brother got married, and the things received at home were indeed piled up in the warehouse. Many people are not even familiar with it, and they also give gifts.

As long as there is something going on in the capital, I don't know how many people are watching.

The marriage of Wei Guogong and Chen Guogong, the holy imperial decree to seal the county lord of Ding'an, how big do you think, it will spread all over the capital in one day. All officials, regardless of rank, civil and military, almost every family sent congratulatory gifts.

There is no way, the severity of the congratulatory gift can be based on the conditions of the family, and the Guogong Mansion does not lack those, and it is not calculated. But if you don't send it, the point is that you have an opinion on the government and are disrespectful to the saints.

In the end, not only the officials gave gifts, but also the associated merchants gave gifts, so that as long as there was a little relationship, they gave gifts.

Especially some large businessmen, who have business dealings with the Guogong Government, are all heavy gifts.

At that time, don't look at your gifts, many people can't even enter the door.

However, the Guogong Mansion is particular, and directly set up a flowing water table in the largest restaurant in the capital, as long as you want to come to congratulate you, you can eat at the restaurant, and it is open for three days in a row.

In those three days, many people in the capital were addicted, and many people finally ate meat, which also made the people of the capital talk for a long time.

Miss Xu really didn't mean it, there were too many gifts, this time I came to Yangzhou, chose some practical ones, brought several big cars, and originally prepared Yuan Rui's.

In addition, Xu Guangjun came to see Yuan Rui this time, and brought all the gifts he sent to many merchants in Yangzhou, these are different, they are all good things.

According to him, there is no shortage of these in the capital, and I don't know what to do with the gifts of the Guogong Mansion, so these are cheap Yuan Rui.

At this moment, a full seven or eight carts of gifts were sent into the Yuan family, to be honest, just these gifts, there must be no problem in raising two or three generations, and those who are still a little knowledgeable like Uncle Wang are dumbfounded.

Yuan Rui was speechless, this is the difference, where the wealthy family is reflected, it is unusual.

After the introduction of a few people, they gave in and still sat at the stone table, and naturally, Miss Xu pulled Xiaohe to sit down beside her.

"I don't know if the county lord and Xu Gongzi are here, is there anything special?" Yuan Rui was not polite, and asked directly.

"Don't hide it from Son, my eldest brother will go to the border army of Longzhou in a few days, and I heard that Hua Thorn will go south again, so this time I came, I really have something to discuss with Son."

"Thorns are going south again, doesn't it mean that they lost last time, at least they won't go south for a few years?"

"I don't know about these, not only my eldest brother will go, but even Chen Guogong will also go to Longzhou, where hundreds of thousands of troops have gathered, this time they may have to fight with the thorns, and King Huai will lead all the troops."

Although the court did not announce it, Wei Guogong knew it.

"Fighting with the thorns, I heard my father say, the most difficult thing is logistics, when I get over there, there is a shortage of water and food, and the grain from the Central Plains is sent up, just to transport people will consume more than thirty percent, plus the loss, to the border army, only fifty percent is left, I am in the grain business, I know that these are fatal to the soldiers on the battlefield, so I want to ask Yuan Gongzi, but there is another way!"

Xu Guangjun was not polite anymore, and asked the question directly.

After listening to this, Yuan Rui did not answer directly. He also understands a little bit about these situations, most of the dried food is beef jerky, and the soldiers of Daxia can't do it, not to mention that there is not so much meat, even the stomach is not suitable.

The Central Plains still pays attention to rice and noodles, and these two things have to be cooked on a fire, and in that environment, the logistical support is indeed very demanding.

"I also know a little bit about what Xu Gongzi said, and the reason why I talked to Miss Xu last time was because I thought about whether I could make some portable food, and I didn't dare to say that it would solve this problem, but the transition was no problem at all."

Yuan Rui was ready to borrow the practice of fried noodles from the Red Army in later generations. To make improvements, put salt and chopped vegetables, add some minced meat, so that put some hot water is a meal, it is really not possible to eat dry, when three or five days is no problem at all, as long as there is a few days of transition time, the difficulty can be solved.

"Xiaohe, you go to the house and take out the things I asked you to make in the past two days," fortunately, he was fine, and pondered for a while.

Xiaohe quickly got up, entered the back room, and took out two plates of things after a while.

"Let's try it first and see how it tastes."

Looking at the things on the plate on the table, both of them glanced at Yuan Rui, with a puzzled expression, what is this, can you eat it?

Yuan Rui smiled, there seemed to be fine flour on a plate, but it was colorful, and in a plate, a lump of golden noodles was wrapped together, and the two of them really hadn't seen much of this.

Xu Guangjun has seen a lot of strange things, as long as he can eat them, let's try them.

Pinch a little flour and put it in your mouth, it is a little fragrant, the salt taste is just right, and there is also the taste of vegetables and meat in it.

Yuan Rui smiled, beckoned Xiaohe to take a small bowl, mixed a small bowl with boiling water, and handed it to Miss Xu.

Miss Xu picked up the spoon, tried the temperature a little, and tasted it full, it was the feeling of batter, but it was much better than the batter, fragrant, and delicious.

"How's that, do you feel like you can eat this food?"

"You can eat, not to mention the border army, even ordinary people can have a full stomach."

Xu Guangjun watched the eldest sister put down the bowl, took it and tasted it herself, and didn't care that Miss Xu looked at him directly.

"Two ways to eat, you can transition in different environments, it's true, but can this be put for a long time?" Miss Xu tasted it again.

"No problem, it should be able to be left for ten years, the taste is a little worse."

Yuan Rui knew that after this treatment, it can be eaten for half a month, which is used for war, and there are so many things, there is a bite to eat, and it is okay to be immortal, and it doesn't matter what the taste is.

"Is it easy to do?" The local conditions in the northwest are limited, and if it is inconvenient, it will lose its meaning.

"Relatively speaking, it's quite simple, it can be done in the rear, every soldier carries it with him, just three or five catties, and there is no problem in a few days."

Yuan Rui remembered the appearance of later generations of soldiers carrying cloth bags behind their backs.

"Okay, then start doing it, go to Longzhou to do it, and then transport it to the border army and distribute it to everyone."

"Second brother, you should go back and tell your father about this, and you can discuss with your father what to do."

"What's this," he said, pointing to something on another plate.

"It's also food, portable noodles, this border army can be prepared, and it can also be sold to the common people."

Yuan Rui soaked the noodles in hot water again and gave the two of them a taste.

"Fried noodles are purely for the war, noodles are different, they can be sold to people who are in a hurry, do things, open shops, these can be done."

Miss Xu instantly understood that fried noodles were not a business, they were thought up by Yuan Rui in order to solve the logistics problems of the border army, and portable noodles could be used as a business and for trading.

Xiaohe suddenly said on the side, "Fried noodles, I tried it yesterday, if you put walnuts and sesame seeds in it to make that paste, my mother likes to eat it very much." ”

Yuan Rui laughed out loud all of a sudden, "You ate it again, the idea is good, and the store can sell it in the future." Yuan Rui directly said Xiaohe's thoughts.

looked at Xu Guangjun, "Grain is a big business for the Xu family, so I thought about letting you make this portable noodle, you supply food, and we are looking for someone to make it in Tonghai and Yangzhou, is this okay?" ”

"Yes, I can call the shots," Xu Guangjun is not polite, the key to talking about business is to have to do it.

After a brief discussion, the group quickly settled down. Xu Guangjun knew that Yuan Rui gave the Xu family enough face.

Speaking of fried noodles alone, as long as the Xu family is done, it solves a big problem for the court, and the cornerstone of the Wei Mansion is more secure.

So in business, Xu Guangjun is very bold, the Xu family only needs forty percent, a little more, the Lu family is thirty percent, and the Yuan family is thirty percent.

Looking at Yuan Rui, Miss Xu suddenly asked, "Did Yuan Gongzi recognize the Meng family's sister before?" ”

Yuan Rui was stunned, why did he suddenly say this, it was a little inconvenient on this occasion.

"No, I haven't seen it before, it's the first time we met at the lake during the Dragon Boat Festival." Hurry up and deny it, how can you admit this.

Xiaohe said that it seemed to be in a dream, and said that it was love at first sight. This time, Miss Xu is going to ask directly to the end.

Xu Guangjun was interested, he also knew who the Meng family's sister was, and quickly interjected.

"Yuan Gongzi likes the younger sister of the Meng family, then hurry up, I heard that the second son of the Yongjiahou family and the boy of the Baoshan Hou family in the middle of the court both have ideas about Miss Meng and are looking for someone to propose marriage!"

When Yuan Rui heard this, his face changed, the son of the Hou Mansion was indeed just right, neither high nor low, and he really had no choice.

"Does the county lord know that the Meng family has any bias, such as fame or something?"

"I heard that Meng Fuzi wants to find a Hanlin Academy, and the scholarly family is the best."

Xu Guangjun really knew that there was a kid who got the answer like this.

Miss Xu looked at Yuan Rui and didn't want to tease him anymore, "Don't worry, Childe, this matter is on me, look at the feelings that you can make suggestions for the country and the people, not to mention the Hou Mansion and the Guogong Mansion." ”

Miss Xu is very domineering!!
