Chapter 201 Delivering supplies thousands of miles
"Shopkeeper Shen?"
Liu Yunyan bowed his waist and shouted tentatively.
"Why did you come to Shuozhou City?"
Shen You raised his hand to say hello and said with a slight smile, "I collected the money and came to deliver supplies to you. You sit down first."
Liu Yunyan opened his eyes wide, and a look of joy appeared on his slightly tired face. Previously in the capital, he had been well fed and clothed,
Returning to the Northland was incomparable. In the past few days, she had experienced her father being framed and being besieged by foreigners. She was already exhausted physically and mentally, and was ready to live or die with Shuozhou City.
Now the savior has come!
The savior seemed to be in a bad mental state.
Also, in ancient times it was difficult to understand the image of someone with disheveled hair and just wearing a prison uniform.
Shen You opened the garage, which was full of vacuum-packed rice, as well as several large bags of cracked corn and brown rice.
"So much food!" Liu Yunyan exclaimed. This side room was still empty when he came last time!
Did Shopkeeper Shen get the grain so quickly? !
Immediately, she thought of another important issue, firewood.
Shen You gave her a reassuring look, "I have wood and coal here. You can find more people to haul it outside later."
As he spoke, he lifted the flatbed and moved the wood in the warehouse to the yard.
There are also charcoal in sacks and neatly stacked briquettes.
Liu Yunyan knew that the price of coal and charcoal in Daqi had skyrocketed and the supply was out of stock everywhere. This was due to stockpiling control by wealthy businessmen.
It is difficult to buy so many in a short time without spending a lot of money.
And she has never seen this kind of honeycomb type, where every piece of coal is straight.
Coal has been used since the Han Dynasty, and coal is also mined here in Daqi. The fuel used for iron smelting is coal.
Therefore, it was known in ancient times that coal must be ventilated, otherwise it will be poisoned, and there is no need for Shen You to remind you.
"My men are outside. Can you bring someone trustworthy in so that we can arrange the transportation of supplies?" Liu Yunyan asked.
Shopkeeper Shen is a woman, so she should have just gotten up. Uncle Zhou and the others are both men. She was also afraid of offending Shopkeeper Shen, so she added,
"You can also ask them to wait at the door first, and then come in after you have packed up."
"It's okay. Just bring someone in. I'll just wash my face."
Shen You yawned, took out the commonly used peach wood hairpin from his pocket, which was sturdy, cheap and could ward off evil spirits, and tied up his hair casually.
Waiting for Liu Yunyan to rush out the door and go upstairs to wash up quickly.
"Uncle Zhou, follow me in and arrange for two trustworthy people to go back and drag the cart over."
Uncle Zhou looked at her confused.
Invite the master to come out. Does the master want to ride on the cart?
Although he had doubts in his heart, when he saw that Liu Yunyan was so anxious that his breathing was quickening, he did not waste any time and immediately gave the order.
Then, following Liu Yunyan, he looked inside with vigilance and curiosity, wanting to see what the legendary master looked like.
Unexpectedly, I saw fuel piled in the yard first, and strange packaging bags in the side room, which were piled all over the room. I didn't see what they were.
"Second Miss, where do these things come from?" Uncle Zhou's chapped lips trembled slightly with joy.
The gates of Shuozhou City were closed, and there were foreigners from all directions. How could so many things be transported in without anyone noticing? !
"The master brought this, just call her Shopkeeper Shen."
After hearing this, Uncle Zhou thought to himself: This title of an expert is quite down-to-earth.
The door opened at this time. In order to fit the character, Shen You changed into a light blue Song Dynasty Hanfu.
She was still very sleepy, and the supplies in Shuozhou City couldn't be delayed. She cheered up, grinded a cup of coffee and took it downstairs.
The antique partition door opened, and the two people standing in the courtyard also looked over.
Uncle Zhou, who was wearing warm clothes and an old armor, was startled at first. He looked around and saw no one else in the room, so he asked in a low voice, "Is she the shopkeeper Shen?"
Liu Yunyan: "That's right." Before Uncle Zhou could react, the master looked not much older than his daughter.
When I was outside, I didn't see such a nice three-story house.
There are actually live trees in the yard.
Before being sent to Beidi with Deputy General Liu, the saint became obsessed with cultivating immortality and refining elixirs, and there were many charlatans in the capital.
Sure enough, he is a true master. He has never pursued fame and wealth in front of others, but he showed up in Shuozhou when he was in danger!
"Are these things for us?" Uncle Zhou looked at the supplies with treasure in his eyes.
The veteran who had never been afraid of the bloodthirsty and warlike foreigners was almost moved to tears at this moment.
Liu Yunyan walked to Shen You with some worry, "With so many things, is the money given by my cousin enough?"
After hearing this, Uncle Zhou calmed down a little. Yes, they don't have that much money in Shuozhou City.
I don’t know if I can get it on credit
"That's enough, don't worry. If it's over the quota, I will go to the capital to ask for the account later." Shen You asked them to sit down for a while.
It will take some time to push the cart over.
Uncle Zhou has been in Beidi for a long time. He sat on the clean and elegant tea table and looked at the strange and beautiful objects in the store. He was a little uncomfortable.
"I'm a rough man, and I have this..." He looked at his dirty clothes. Although he felt warm in the room, he still said: "Why don't you go outside and wait."
"No, it's okay." Shen You poured hot water for them.
Looking at the electric kettle, Uncle Zhou's eyes widened.
That black board, can you put the kettle on it and get hot water without igniting it? !
"In addition to the food and fuel from outside, the supplies I brought to you also include some medicine."
Shen You took out a few items and told them how to use them one by one.
In addition to the anti-inflammatory, hemostatic and bruise medicines most needed by the military, there is also chilblain ointment.
"This ointment can be applied directly and is used to treat frostbite."
Food and coal are not expensive in this world, but medicine these days is really not cheap.
"Are these things from the Western Regions?" After hearing the effects Shen You said, Uncle Zhou couldn't tell whether he was excited or sighed.
Today was also an eye-opener.
He always thought that Daqi's medical skills, planting, textiles and other aspects were well developed, except for its military strength.
But I have never seen these elixirs that are said to have miraculous effects.
Liu Yunyan told him that the confidant of the Liu family who was seriously injured when he came was saved with these medicines.
The elixir from the ‘Western Region’ was also used when epidemics occurred before.
The dignitaries in the palace and the aristocratic families have some treasures in their hands, but they in the north are not even qualified to see them.
Shen You smiled, "You can say that."
"On behalf of all the soldiers and people in Shuozhou City, I would like to thank Shopkeeper Shen." Uncle Zhou said as he stood up and saluted Shen You.
Liu Yunyan took the first step to stop Shen You, "Uncle Zhou, shopkeeper Shen doesn't like these false gifts."
Shen You nodded in agreement, "I also have some better dry food here, a kind of pancake. Do you want to try it?"
This time she also replenished some self-heating rice stock for outdoor military use. The portions are larger than the brands bought in ordinary supermarkets, and the packaging is more portable.
But neither does supplying it in large quantities.
For Daqi, the cost is too high, so it is better to change the budget to rice noodles and compressed biscuits.
There are also instant noodles, which are cheap but not nutritious. The taste can be improved.
