Chapter 213: The Messenger
Mei Berry closed the money box and didn't want to continue the conversation, seeing that the shopkeeper was anxious.
If she said that she directly exposed a relationship line, does it really matter?
At the moment, Wang Beigu and Xie Changchen are not there?
Thinking about it, she quietly turned her head to look at Jia Jiu who was standing in the corner.
Jia Jiu silently turned his head and staggered the other party's gaze.
What are you doing?
His secret guard on the Jiazi doesn't talk about business, he will find out the news, kill people and "drive".
Seeing the shopkeeper and the guys in the store like this, Mei Berry lost his patience anymore, and said directly: "Sister, let's go back, we have made a lot of money anyway......"
Mei Berry was about to get up, and Mei You naturally wanted to leave, but the shopkeeper immediately raised his hand to stop them, and then replied: "Wait!" This sweater...... This sweater is our business with the Yanping Pass Guards! β

"Hiss-!! pain"
Outside the tent, the north wind was howling, and a group of wounded soldiers in the tent were crying out for pain because of the military doctor's medication.
Gu Pingyu was slightly injured this time and was given medicine early in the morning.
At this time, he also helped the military doctor to administer medicine to some soldiers he knew in the army.
Who knows, these old men who are usually on the battlefield and are not afraid of life and death are still a little nervous when it is their turn to clean their wounds and apply medicine.
"Nonsense, your wounds are stuck to your clothes, you are dead and unwilling to cut them, and you are noisy to death when your clothes are lifted......"
Gu Pingyu didn't admit that he did it himself, and he was a little rude.
"This is cut, do I want this sweater? A few days ago, the dog left his hands and saw a thread pop up, and he pulled it, and this good sweater was in Chengdu! β
"Hahaha!"
"I think he just thinks about women, he wants to be crazy hahahahaha!"
The few soldiers around who heard it couldn't help but laugh out loud, only the person who was said was squatting in the corner and bandaging and pretending to be dead.
Hemp eggs!
How did he know this sweater looked like this?
I can't fix the quilt needle I hidden! Now he had a clump of wool hidden under his pillow, and he had no clue.
"Young poor mouth, you have been pierced by an arrow, and it has already been broken."
Gu Pingyu also laughed, and by the way, he motioned to the military doctor to hurry up and take advantage of this guy's hippie smile and talk about other people's ugly things, not to care about this wound, and to do it as soon as possible.
"Shhh Oops! β
The military doctor was also steady and ruthless, Gu Pingyu signaled here, and he operated on the other side.
Gu Pingyu stood up and looked around, watching as the soldiers were all wearing a layer of sweaters after removing their armor.
Now they are still wearing thin models, and there is a thicker one, and when the weather is colder, add an extra one, so that the weather is not warm.
Thinking of the sweaters that were sent this year, Gu Pingyu was happy and a little worried.
This batch of sweaters is not a military salary material issued by the imperial court.
He saw the winter clothes given by the imperial court, and how many people in the barracks froze to death in the winter because of this winter coat last year.
Those who did not freeze to death were still suffering from chilblains, even himself.
"It's so cold this day, and you can't see two meters away from the snow outside, so the Tartars shouldn't be doing anything, right?"
On the day of the end of the city, he went to the outside of the gate to help the Hu people expel the Tartars who came to fight the autumn wind, and then repelled the Tartars who attacked Yanping Pass several times.
As the past few days have become colder and colder, and the heavy snow has come quickly and fiercely, they finally have a chance to breathe.
"Hopefully everything will go well this winter."

"Hey, doing business with Gu Hou, why are you doing bad things with such a weak heart?"
Mei Berry immediately laughed when she heard this, if she remembers well, Gu Hou is the male protagonist's father, right?
It's time to show what they're capable of!
Mei Berry smiled brightly when she looked at Mei You, but Mei You didn't know why, she always felt weird when she looked at Mei Berry like this.
"For the good of the country and the people...... The soldiers at the border have sweaters, and they will be more comfortable in winter. β
After Mei Berry discovered cotton that day, Mei You also remembered that there are very few cotton fabrics in Dacheng now, let alone making winter clothes.
They ordinary people still know that they don't leave the house in winter, and they go out of the house to wrap three layers, what should those soldiers stationed at the border do?
Therefore, when he heard that it was a business with the soldiers at the border gate, Mei You also felt that it was nothing.
"Uh-huh. But is it because this business is not above board? β
Mei Berry remembered the hesitation of the shopkeeper just now, and said, "Could it be that you are doing a lot of light in this business?" β
Mei Berry actually doesn't want to think so, this kind of business that doesn't see the light, if it hurts others and doesn't benefit herself, she can understand that she secretly does it against the interests of those soldiers.
But now, it is obvious that the sweater business of hundreds of thousands of border soldiers has a profit of about the cost price.
What's so bad about that?
Mei Berry glanced at the shopkeeper twice, she didn't actually think about anything, but the shopkeeper bowed his head slightly and said, "Just as the third lady thought." β
Plum Berry: ?
What did she think?
At the same time, Mei You also nodded, chatted with the shopkeeper about salt, and directly revealed the topic.
Plum berry: 0.0
No, can you make that clear?
"Speaking of which, you were very interested in the salt we made before, I would like to ask if Jiubaoxuan has any salt products?"
"Not yet, but we can get one."
The shopkeeper is a show of strength, and it is called a self-confidence.
They had such a salt-making technique for plum berries, and when she turned around, she wrote to the leader and master, and returned to the entire salt mine.
"It seems that the status of the shopkeeper is not low in Jiubaoxuan, and he also knows how many industries he has."
Here it is, Mei You's typical clichΓ©.
Mei Berry saw Mei You's words, and the expression on the shopkeeper's face instantly stiffened.
"Hehehehehe, what the second lady said ......"
The shopkeeper is now eager to give himself two mouths and let himself talk more.
"But it doesn't matter, just like we asked before, how big of a place do you Jiubaoxuan have in Xianyao Prefecture, and how much land can you circle by the sea?"
When Mei You talked about the beach, Mei Berry's eyes lit up, and she immediately knew what the other party was thinking.
"Here, we can enclose the land by the sea, there is a lot of saline-alkali land, no one cultivates it, and there are few fishermen, so it is still very simple to get a piece of land. Do you want to use salt from the sea? β
The shopkeeper's brain turned very quickly, but because of this, she also said seriously: "Although the sea water has a salty taste, it is very bitter and not suitable for consumption. β
She had never seen a fisherman on the beach scoop water directly into her mouth and drink it.
"Ah, we can handle this, right, sister?"
Mei Berry knew what Mei You was thinking when she heard Mei You mention the beach.
Seeing Mei Xian's head, the shopkeeper was even more overjoyed, and directly pulled Mei Berry and they had lunch here, which was chatting until the evening.
In the end, Plum Berry couldn't bear it anymore and said that this thing had to be slowed down, so it was put home.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard a cooing overhead, and she looked up and met a peregrine falcon standing on the roof of her house.
"Wow, you're here again?"
Plum Berry was so happy when she saw the peregrine falcon that she ran straight into the kitchen and cut the fresh lamb into strips and took it to the yard.
Taking out the whistle hanging around his neck, Plum Berry blew on it, and the peregrine falcon flapped its wings and flew in front of Plum Berry.
Don't worry about plum berries, people plunge into bamboo baskets to do dry rice, and plum berries reach out and take the letterhead stuck in its ankle and don't care.
The letter she wrote to Xie Changzhen before she went to Guanshi before, and the other party replied~
Mei Berry: Today is another day to try to brush up on the presence of the check-in object~
Xie Changchen: Falling in love starts with making pen pals.
Mei You: You guys are secretly overtaking?
Gu Pingyu: QvQ
