93, Chapter 93
Niu Da is a silent person. He usually talks very little and only immerses himself in doing things. Now that he suddenly came to see Yang Haiyan, something must have happened. Yang Haiyan said: "If you have anything to say, just say it, it's okay."
Niu Dadao: "Madam, I am a farmer. Farmers depend on God for their meals, so I have had some understanding of God since I was a child. Looking at the current situation, I must make sure before dinner today It’s raining, and it’s not going to be light.”
Yang Haiyan doesn't know how to read the weather, or in other words, modern people only read weather forecasts and don't need to look at the environment to judge the weather. But Niu is very different. He depends on God for food, so he attaches great importance to the weather and environment. Hearing what Niu Da said, Yang Haiyan said: "I know, it's hard for you to have a bad intention. If you encounter this kind of thing again next time, you can tell me at any time, don't worry about it."
Niu Da breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what his wife said. He was afraid that he would not be trusted in his affairs, but after getting along for more than half a year, he still had some understanding of the temperament of the host's wife, and she was definitely not the kind that would implicate others, so he was not afraid before. Something happened.
Yang Haiyan turned around and went to find Qin Fang. Qin Fang was arranging the team and everyone was getting ready to set off. "Ms. sir."
Qin Fang motioned for everyone to rest where they were, and walked towards Yang Haiyan: "What's wrong?"
Yang Haiyan explained Niu Da's concerns: "...So if it rains before dinner, it will be fine. You can prepare in the afternoon, but if it rains at noon, it will not be good. Mr. What do you think?"
Qin Fang's idea is very direct: "I don't plan to rush on the road. Let everyone camp and rest on the spot. Even if it is a waste of a day or two, it is better than getting sick in the rain. Otherwise, when it rains and we camp again, it will be too late."
Yang Haiyan said: "That's what I think."
Speaking of which, the weather has been good these days. Although the team spent the night outside, they have not set up camp yet because it is too troublesome to set up camp and put it away again, but they will set up camp today.
Seeing that she agreed, Qin Fang was quite happy: "But setting up camp is not enough. We have no food, so we have to prepare food. I will take the people to camp on the spot, and I will ask Kunshi to take the people to the nearest county to purchase food."
Yang Haiyan took the opportunity and said: "I'll go with Kunshi. As far as food is concerned, I know better what to buy. And if it rains, I need to be prepared for cold and cold medicine, and I may need to hire a doctor." At this point, Yang Haiyan suddenly had an idea, "Ms. sir, let's hire a doctor to accompany us. When we get to Yunxiang County, we'll send someone to send the doctor back. What do you think?"
Qin Fang was on his own for the first time. Although he was brave and resourceful, he was used to being rough in this kind of life and was indeed not as careful as Yang Haiyan. Listening to Yang Haiyan's analysis at this moment, he felt that her method was better. However: "It's really hard for you to ask you to buy food." He didn't want her to work so hard.
But Yang Haiyan smiled and said: "No matter how hard it is for my husband, I am happy." Besides, she wanted to visit the county town, one of which was to buy food, but there were other reasons. However, what you say must sound nice.
Hearing what she said, Qin Fang was even more moved. He hid his emotion in his heart and did not express it in words. He just remembered it. "Okay, I'll let the brigade camp on the spot and wait for you to come back. You... pay attention to your safety." Even if there were Kun Shi and other soldiers accompanying him, he couldn't wait to go by himself. But as the leading general, he couldn't leave.
Yang Haiyan: "Yeah."
After the couple discussed it, Qin Fang called Kunshi: "Today's weather is bad, it may rain in the afternoon, we are not going to rush, so we will camp here. This time, my wife will take you to the county to buy food. Yes, you and Mrs. , remember to protect her. "
When Kunshi heard this, he knew what a rainy day meant to those of them who were on the road. He said seriously: "Yes."
Yang Haiyan headed towards the county town with her Kunshi and other soldiers, as well as Aunt Lian, Aunt Fan, and Mrs. Niu.
The reason why I brought Aunt Lian with me was because she needed someone by her side. I brought Aunt Fan with me because Aunt Fan is a cook and knows a lot about food. This is the case with Mrs. Niu. Her mother-in-law is the housekeeper of the Niu family. This kind of woman knows what to buy best.
These people were all in the same carriage as Yang Haiyan. On the carriage, when they went to the county town today, Yang Haiyan briefly explained the reason, and then distributed: "Aunt Fan, Mrs. Niu, you take five soldiers to buy steamed buns, steamed buns and pancakes. Don't buy raw food on rainy days, otherwise it would be too troublesome to cook it yourself. Today, at noon, each person will eat some meat to replenish their health. Tonight and tomorrow morning, each person will have two steamed buns or two. Pancakes, if it still rains at noon tomorrow, tell the shopkeeper of the steamed bun shop and ask them to deliver meat buns at noon tomorrow..." In this case, at least you can have something hot to eat at noon tomorrow. If it stops raining tomorrow, that will save trouble.
As for steamed buns, if you buy them now, you can eat them at noon. But in the evening or tomorrow morning, the cold steamed buns will have an unpleasant smell.
Aunt Fan and Mrs. Niu: "Yes."
The road to the county seat is a bit far, but they have carriages and horses, so no matter how far the journey is, it is not a problem for them. The main reason is that it takes a while to ask for directions.
After arriving at the county seat, Aunt Fan and Mrs. Niu took five soldiers to buy their things. Yang Haiyan took Aunt Lian to buy ginger, brown sugar and other things. Ginger soup is essential on rainy days.
Baozipu
"What?" The owner of the bun shop was shocked when he heard Aunt Fan explain her purpose, "Then...then steamed buns and steamed buns? This...our family doesn't have such steamed buns now."
There are 3,000 people in the brigade. They will eat meat buns at noon today. Each person has two meat buns, which is 6,000 buns. The bun shop is definitely not like this.
Aunt Fan said: "If we don't do it now, how many can you make in one hour?"
The owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop did the math, including his wife, daughter, daughter-in-law, and my mother: "I can make five hundred in an hour."
Aunt Fan said: "I'll pay you half of the deposit, and I'll pick up the five hundred meat buns in an hour."
This is big business, and the boss said cheerfully: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, it will definitely be fine."
Then, Aunt Fan and Mrs. Niu went to other steamed bun shops, and visited ten of them before finishing the 6,000 meat buns for lunch. But the problem is that the problem at noon has been solved, as well as the problems tonight and tomorrow morning.
So, Aunt Fan and Mrs. Niu discussed with these ten steamed bun shops, and they could deliver the goods to their doorsteps in the evening and tomorrow morning. No fool would take this order. Normally, they wouldn't sell a hundred in a day, but now there are hundreds in one order. They want it all. What happened to the rain? Come rain or shine, they deliver.
Aunt Fan felt relieved after hearing everyone's assurances. Moreover, the bosses of the bun shop knew where their brigade was camping and knew that it was a requirement of the army, so they worked even harder. They are ordinary people and cannot contribute to the court, but they can still be used for such small things. Besides, they also make money.
Aunt Fan and Mrs. Niu talked about ten bun shops in a row, and their mouths were dry from talking. Repeating these words for each shop was actually very time-consuming.
However, while they were talking, Yang Haiyan and his people had already swept away the ginger and brown sugar. In other words, she bought so much ginger brown sugar in one go that the seller was shocked.
The ginger brown sugar was very heavy, weighing about five hundred kilograms in total. Yang Haiyan asked two private guards to transport these back to the brigade's camp first.
Then, she ordered a batch of hard-boiled eggs. If the weather is bad, the body's immunity will decline, so it is very important to improve physical fitness. In ancient times, the way to improve physical fitness was to replenish the body. How can you replenish the body with steamed buns alone? So there can’t be fewer eggs.
I ordered boiled eggs, but I can't take them for now, so I have to wait for them to be cooked. But boiled eggs are faster than steamed buns. Yang Haiyan ordered 6,000. The only trouble was that she had to go to dozens of places. There were no eggs like this in the shop. She gave the shop owner a suggestion and asked them to go to the countryside to collect eggs. She could wait for two hours. Two hours equals four hours, enough time for them to buy eggs and cook them.
The eggs are solved, all that's left is the doctor.
When Yang Haiyan was buying ginger, brown sugar and eggs, someone asked about the doctor in the county who had medical ethics and good character. Because it is easier for such doctors to go on a trip with them, some doctors may find it difficult to get along with them because of the long distance.
There is a Dr. Feng in this county. His family has been a doctor for several generations. He has an excellent reputation in the county. Moreover, Dr. Feng is also a good person in the county. If you see a doctor and dispense medicine at the Feng Family Medical Center, Dr. Feng does not charge a consultation fee. of.
When Yang Haiyan heard this, she couldn't help but smile. It wasn't that she had any objections to Dr. Feng, but that she felt that the wisdom of the ancients was also very high. Fengjia Hospital does not charge consultation fees for this kind of medicine dispensing, which is equivalent to getting whatever you buy during the overtime period. It is similar to bundled sales, but it is considered benign.
For ordinary people, they always need to take medicine when they are sick. It is good to save a few cents on medical expenses. For a medical clinic, how much can you earn from consultation fees? It’s not as good as what you can earn from medicines, so you can make big money at the expense of a small amount, killing two birds with one stone.
The Feng Family Medical Center was very famous in the county. Yang Haiyan made some inquiries and found the Feng Family Medical Center. Feng Family Medical Center is located in a prosperous place in the county town, with a large facade. Yang Haiyan and others stood at the door and saw a lot of people inside. It looked like business was very good.
Yang Haiyan said to Kunshi: "I will go in with Aunt Lian, and you guys will wait outside."
Kunshi: "Yes."
The waiter in the medical clinic had seen them a long time ago. They were wealthy people in the county. The waiter had sharp eyes. This lady, with her mother-in-law, and such a guard, must be... Noble man, but he is very naive. When the lady came in, the waiter greeted her enthusiastically.
