Chapter 342 Sending food together
"Yes. My nephew said that as long as His Highness agrees, he can send food again in three days, and then... we will trade at the price of previous years." Although
Xu Zhushan was nervous, Wei Ruo explained his He could still recount things clearly.
"That's very good."
Chu Lan was very satisfied with the time. It takes time to transfer such a large amount of food, and it was not easy for the Xu family's nephew to prepare so much food so quickly.
Then Chu Lan asked again: "Can I meet others?"
"Your Highness can't help it. You have a distinguished status. My nephew is just a businessman. You waste time to meet him. He...he can't afford it. And my nephew can't afford it." My nephew is not in Taizhou Mansion now, but he has some properties here. It would be inconvenient to meet..."
Xu Zhushan was very glad that the lady had told him all the possible conversations before coming, so that he now knew How to answer the seventh prince's question.
Otherwise, with his brain and reaction, he would just stand there stupidly.
"It's a pity. I wanted to thank him in person." Chu Lan said.
"My nephew said...it's an honor for him to help Xiaoyong and the anti-Japanese soldiers. He doesn't dare to take credit." "That's okay,
I won't force it." Chu Lan didn't insist too much.
Then he turned back to Xu Zhengyong and said, "Boss Xu, you have contributed a lot this time. I will report it to the Ming Dynasty and reward you based on your merits."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Xu Zhengyong thanked him.
Xu Zhengyong knew that the best way to live up to sister Ruo'er's help to him was to take advantage of this opportunity to get promoted, make himself stronger and stronger, and become a solid backing for sister Ruo'er.
Zheng Shoubei on the side smiled and patted Xu Zhengyong on the shoulder, "Mr. Xu, then I will wait for your good news and treat me to a drink then." "Sir, when we defeat the
Japanese pirates this time, I will definitely I’ll treat you to the best wine!” Xu Zhengyong said.
"Mr. Xu wants to treat me to a drink of thyme?" Zheng Shoubei said with a smile.
"No problem, thyme is thyme! As long as we can defeat those bastards! I'll treat everyone to a drink of thyme!" Xu Zhengyong agreed.
Chu Lan also said: "Then I'm also waiting to drink a handful of thyme as a treat!"
"No problem!" Xu Zhengyong agreed cheerfully.
After the soldiers in the military camp unloaded sixteen carts of food, Xu Zhushan left with the empty carts.
The two parties agreed that in three days, Xu Zhushan's nephew would send someone to collect another batch of food.
Next, we will look at the needs of the military camp. If necessary, we will send more to ensure that there is no shortage of food in the army, the soldiers do not starve, and they can fight the Japanese pirates without any worries.

Three days later, Wei Ruo and Xiumei traveled in men's clothing and personally delivered food to the military camp.
Wei Jinyi and Xiaobei were also traveling with them. Wei Ruo and Xiumei were familiar with men's clothing, but Wei Jinyi and Xiaobei didn't know what they were going to do today.
Wei Jin just knew that Wei wanted to go out for business, so he offered to go with him.
Wei Ruo agreed, and the four of them went out as before.
After arriving at Younan Farm, Xiaobei couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise when he saw twenty carts of grain. Then he whispered to Xiumei beside him: "Miss Xiumei, where are you going to send so much grain?" Huh?"
"These grains were sold to the military camp to make military rations. Miss will send them over today." Xiumei replied.
"Ah?" Xiaobei opened his mouth in surprise, "Where did this food come from?"
Xiumei did not answer, but looked at Wei Ruo. She was not sure whether she should tell the second young master and Xiaobei about this matter.
Wei Ruo turned around and explained, "It's mine."
"Miss, do you have so much food?" Xiaobei was even more surprised. "Are you surprised?" Wei Ruo asked.
Xiao Bei nodded like a fool: "I know that the eldest lady is very good at growing food, and can make crops grow in the land that could not grow crops before, but I didn't know that you actually have so much food, eldest lady! Then... then The Captain's Mansion is now..."
Xiao Bei thought that the Wei family was still short of food, and for this reason, Madam was worried a lot. And the lady actually has enough food in her hands to feed the army!
Wei Ruo smiled brightly: "These are my private property. It doesn't matter if I sell them to whomever I want, right?"
Xiaobei nodded, it was okay, but... it was too unexpected.
Xiaobei couldn't help but sigh: "Miss, you are really amazing! If Madam and the others knew that you had so much food, they would be so shocked that their jaws dropped!" Wei Ruo smiled and said, "Then you
can Help me keep the secret, I'm afraid that after I shock their jaws, they will ask me for food, and then I will have to worry." Xiaobei nodded heavily: "Don't worry, young lady,
our young master will stand by you The people here will definitely help you keep the secret!"
Wei Ruo turned back and smiled at Wei Jinyi: "Second brother, what do you think?"
"Yes."
Wei Ruo's bright smile caught Wei Jinyi's eyes, making him The corner of his mouth couldn't help but be dyed with a smile.
After loading the truck, Wei Ruo, Wei Jinyi, Xiumei and Xiaobei each rode a horse in front, followed by people from the farm driving trucks filled with grain.
Everyone started from Younan Farm, talking and laughing along the way, and kept heading east.
After leaving Xianju County, Wei Ruo and his party saw the soldiers sent by the anti-Japanese army to meet them.
Military food is very important, and the military camp attaches great importance to it. In order to ensure the safety of food and grass, the military camp specially dispatched people from the east gate of Xianju County to respond.
The person in charge of the response was none other than Xu Zhengyong.
Seeing Wei Ruo and Xiumei, Xu Zhengyong smiled all over his face, but due to the presence of other people, he could only hold back.
What's more, he is wearing a military uniform now, and the people behind him are all his subordinates. He is naturally much more serious than when he is joking and playing with Wei Ruoxiu Mei on weekdays.
Xiumei couldn't help but feel a little distracted when she saw Xu Zhengyong dressed in military uniform and looking very serious.
Obviously his face is still the same, but it always feels like everything is different. There is a handsomeness and majesty between the heroic brows.
Looking at it, Xiumei couldn't help but blush a little, and then lowered her head a little.
Xu Zhengyong slowed down and walked side by side with Wei Ruo: "The road ahead will be a little difficult. If you find it difficult, let's stop and rest. It's still early and there's still time." The last section of the road is sparsely populated because it is close to the battlefield
. . Moreover, the road is made of ruts and is very uneven and prone to bumps.
Xu Zhengyong knew that Wei Ruo was not skilled in riding horses and was afraid that she would be tired.
"I'm fine. Let's rest after the food is delivered." Wei Ruodao.
"Okay," Xu Zhengyong pointed to the narrow path between the two mountains ahead and said, "Just cross that path and you'll be there." "
Yeah." Wei Ruo responded.
Half an hour later, the team entered the winding trail.
Suddenly Wei Jinyi frowned: "Stop."
Everyone turned to look at him, and Wei Ruo asked: "Second brother, what's wrong?"
