Chapter 71 Preparing for a Rainy Day

Feather-like snowflakes fluttered down one after another, getting bigger and bigger.

Standing in front of the window, Yuxi looked at the vast expanse of whiteness outside, and said, "Why is it snowing again?" This is already the fifth snow this winter. When it snows, she can't go out, she can only wander around the house, feeling bored.

Zijin said with a smile: "Auspicious snow heralds a good year. Snow is a good thing. Next year will be a bumper harvest year." Anyway, Zijin likes snow.

While talking, someone from outside came in and answered, "Ma'am, Zhuangzi has sent something." Just set it up.

Han Ji came in and handed the list to Yu Xi.

Seeing that there were 20 catties of sausages and 20 catties of bacon on the list, Yu Xi smiled and said, "This sausage and bacon are so popular, so is there any left?" These bacon are for giving away, not Yu Xi eat by yourself.

Han Ji nodded: "These two dishes are very popular and everyone loves to eat them. Madam, I will send the restaurant and the restaurant's account together in two days."

Yuxi nodded her head, and suddenly remembered what she told Yunqing last time about going to the West Sea to buy leather: "Han Ji, the West Sea is very rich in species, with many birds and fish, and it is also rich in medicinal materials."

After hearing this, Han Ji asked: "Madam, you want to start a business of medicinal materials? We don't have anyone who understands medicinal materials, and if you don't know how to do this medicinal material business, it's easy to be deceived?"

Yuxi shook her head and said: "I want to buy more good medicinal materials and send them back to the capital." Although she sent some high-quality jade, it was nothing compared to Qiu's intentions.

After a pause, Yuxi said: "Snow lotus and Cordyceps are both good things, and eating them is very good for your health. I want to buy more. I think you will take the lead when I think about it. What do you think?" Others, Yuxi is not at ease. . The people Yunqing gave were good at fighting and killing, but they were not good at bending around. If Hao Dazhuang and others are allowed to go, they will definitely be fooled. As for Han Ji's lack of knowledge of medicinal materials, Yuxi is not worried, and she is not in the bulk of the medicinal material business, but only buys some for her own use. This matter will not trouble Han Ji.

Han Ji was not stupid. After hearing this, he asked, "Madam, besides buying skins and medicinal materials, what else do I need to do?" . The Zhao family supplies medicinal materials for the army. If Madam wants it, it is definitely the best, and the price will not be too expensive. But if my wife wants to look far away, she must have something to ask for.

Yu Xi was stunned for a second after hearing this, he was worried about other people and felt that Han Ji was reliable. She really has no other ideas. However, Han Ji's words reminded Yuxi that there are some things that should be planned first: "Know the situation in Xihai clearly, especially the places you have walked all the way, and you must remember clearly. But don't miss this matter Traces are noticeable."

Han Ji's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Madam, when shall I go?" Unexpectedly, Madam has already started planning for the future.

Yuxi said: "Go at the beginning of spring. Take advantage of these two months, you should prepare well." Be prepared for everything, so that you can catch your opponent by surprise in the future. It's a pity that Han Ji is the only one beside her, and no one else can. I just don't know what kind of person the eldest brother will send her this time. I hope to send two more capable people like Han Ji

Han Ji nodded and said, "Okay."

Yu Xi put the things back together, then called Xu Wu, handed him a piece of paper and said, "Send the things to these people's homes."

Xu Wu took the paper, looked at it, nodded and said, "Okay."

Yu Xi said with a smile: "I haven't found a suitable housekeeper yet, and when I have a housekeeper after a while, I don't have to worry about these things anymore." Now, he treats the Chief of Guard as a housekeeper. No way, other people in the mansion,

Yuxi even despises her. It's not that they are incapable, but that none of these people can read. How can an illiterate person be the butler of the mansion.

Xu Wu didn't feel hard work at all, and said: "I just talk about it, how can I call it hard work!" He also won't leave the house, and all these things are assigned to the people below.

When Yunqing came back in the evening, Yuxi smiled and took out the finished cloak for Yunqing to try on.

Yun Qing didn't like the cloak when he saw that it was purplish red. He frowned and said, "Why did you choose such a color?" He didn't like bright clothes, usually they were either blue or gray, and they looked dark. It also feels very depressing.

Yu Xi said with a smile: "I always wear dusty clothes, ugly." Yun Qing is actually not bad looking, but he is too careless.

Yun Qing said with disgust: "Why do big men want to be so good-looking?" Although he said so, he still put on the cloak obediently.

Yuxi said happily: "I will wear it to the military camp tomorrow, and everyone who sees it will say that I am spirited." So it is said that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, and people are different after changing clothes.

Yun Qing smiled, he liked to hear that.

Taking off the cloak, Yu Xi asked: "Has that matter been resolved?" The matter Yu Xi said was the matter that the officers jointly signed to be subdued.

Yun Qing nodded and said, "Qin Zhao promised everyone that next year, in addition to giving out new quilts, everyone will also get two new sets of winter clothes. Qin Zhao made the promise in front of everyone, so these people will stop making trouble .”

Yuxi curled her lips, but she also knew that this matter could only be ended, after all, there was really no money in the account: "I hope Qin Zhao can fulfill his promise."

Yun Qing said: "Don't worry, the promise he made in front of all the generals will not be fulfilled, otherwise he will lose his promise to hundreds of thousands of soldiers." Don't say stick to the city.

Yuxi thought that if she died, she would not be able to honor it, but she could only murmur in her heart, and she definitely couldn't say it: "He Rui, I have always heard that the food in your military camp is terrible? Is it true? Is it that unpalatable?"

Yun Qing smiled and said, "I'll let you taste it when I have a chance."

Yuxi felt that such an opportunity would never be the best: "The restaurant will be closed on New Year's Eve, and the cooks in your barracks are of such a poor standard, do you want me, these two cooks, to help them?" As long as she spoke, the two masters would definitely have no objection.

Yun Qing nodded and said: "Of course it will be fine." Who wouldn't boast of the level of those two masters! With their help in the kitchen, these little bastards must be too happy to find their way around.

Yuxi smiled. Not only did she plan to let the two chefs help in the kitchen, she also prepared a lot of good things! I hope that these generals can have a sumptuous banquet on New Year's Eve.

The next day, Yunqing went to the military camp wearing the cloak Yuxi made for her. On the way, I happened to meet Fu Tianlei.

Fu Tianlei looked at the cloak on Yunqing's body, walked over and pointed to the ancient pattern on it, and asked, "What is this? Is there anything special about it?" You don't need to ask to know that the cloak was made by the Han family. , really nothing to say.

Yun Qing smiled and said: "I don't know about that either." He just put on the clothes, he didn't care about the embroidery on them, anyway, it can't be bad things.

Fu Tianlei punched Yun Qing, and said: "This dress looks good on your body. If you say that you envied me before, now I envy you. Seeing how well your daughter-in-law picks you up, it's really frustrating." People are jealous!" It's not that his daughter-in-law is bad, but, cough, people are so angry that people compare with each other, and they have to throw away their goods!

Yun Qing smiled and said, "Don't be dissatisfied."

Fu Tianlei came to find Yunqing on purpose, and said: "I heard that your restaurant is closed from New Year's Eve to the second day of junior high school. Is it true?" Seeing Yunqing nodding, Fu Tianlei said: "My brother will not be polite. , lend me your cook for two days." The cooking skills of the two chefs in the restaurant are really speechless. Fu Tianlei has to patronize several times a month, but although the restaurant's consumption is not high, the prices of those signature dishes are not low. Fu Tianlei wanted to take this opportunity to invite him home and let their cook secretly teach him.

Yun Qing smiled and said: "Then you are too late, my wife said that on New Year's Eve, let these two masters go to the barracks to help cook, so that the brothers can have a good meal."

Fu Tianlei had no regrets after hearing this, and said: "Aren't there still the first and second grades? I'm not that unkind. Let them have a good rest on the first grade, and cook us a meal at noon on the second grade. What do you think?" ?”

Yunqing didn't agree, and said: "This cook belongs to my wife, I want to ask his opinion first." Yunqing has never been Yuxi's master, like dowry things and people, Yunqing thinks he should ask Only through Yuxi can he succeed, otherwise he feels disrespectful to Yuxi.

Fu Tianlei was not angry either, and said with a smile: "Well, I'll wait for your good news." Fu Tianlei felt that with his friendship with Yunqing, Yuxi would definitely not refuse such a trivial matter.

When Yunqing arrived at the barracks and told his subordinate Wu Shouwei that there would be chefs from restaurants coming to help cook on New Year's Eve, Wu Shouwei let out a cry and said, "Madame is really a Bodhisattva!" Basically all of my subordinates have been there. Now that these two chefs can come to cook them New Year's Eve dinner, they don't have to eat that pig food anymore. There are only two cooks, and they cannot cook for all officers and soldiers. Only officers of a certain level are qualified to do so.

Guo Xun scolded with a smile: "Hurry down and do something."

After hearing this, Wu Shouwei ran out cheerfully and told the good news to other brothers. Everyone who heard the news was also very happy.

Seeing this, Huo Changqing asked, and after knowing the reason, he nodded. After entering the room, seeing Yunqing looking down at the map, he said with a smile, "This cloak is pretty." It's so ugly, I couldn't bear to take it off when I entered the room.

Yun Qing smiled and said, "Yu Xi also made one for you, so you can put it on when you go back." Huo Changqing was in the barracks these two days and didn't go back.

Huo Changqing smiled and said, "It's your favor." Every time Yuxi prepares something for Yunqing, she will also buy a copy for Huo Changqing, like clothes, it's the same. The only difference is that Yunqing's clothes are all made by Yuxi, and Huo Changqing's clothes are all made by maids.

Yun Qing was also in a good mood: "What did Uncle Huo say? Her filial piety to you is the same as my filial piety to you." Husband and wife are one!

Huo Changqing is not that hypocritical person, he wears it as soon as it is given to him, and never shirks it, and this time he just said it casually. Hearing Yun Qing's words, a look of relief appeared on his face.
