Meiberry closed the money box and didn't want to continue talking, which made shopkeeper Ma very anxious.
If she said it directly exposed a relationship line, would it really not matter?
Are Wang Beigu and Xie Changxuan not here now?
Thinking about it, she quietly turned to look at Jiajiu standing in the corner.
Jiajiu turned his head silently, averting the opponent's gaze.
What are you doing?
The secret guard of his Jiazi ship doesn't know how to talk about business. He knows how to inquire about information, kill people and "drive".
Seeing shopkeeper Ma and the store clerk like this, Mei Bei lost her patience and said directly: "Sister, let's go back. Anyway, we have made a lot of money..."
Mei Bei was about to get up after saying this, and Mei You was naturally about to leave. Seeing this, shopkeeper Ma immediately raised his hand to stop them, and then replied: "Wait a minute! This sweater... This sweater is a business we do with the Yanpingguan garrison. !”

"Hiss--it hurts!!!"
The north wind was howling outside the tent, and a group of injured soldiers in the military tent were crying out for pain as the military doctor prescribed medicine to treat them.
Gu Pinglu was slightly injured this time and was given medicine early in the morning.
At this time, he also helped the military doctor give medicine to some soldiers he knew in the army.
Who would have thought that these men who usually go to the battlefield without fear of life and death would still be a little unable to hold their nerves when it was their turn to clean their wounds and apply medicine.
"Nonsense, your wounds are stuck to your clothes, and you refuse to cut them open. When your clothes are lifted up, you make a lot of noise..."
Gu Pinglu refused to admit that he was a little rough by doing it himself.
"Now that it's been cut, do you still want my sweater? A few days ago, Gou Sheng saw a thread coming out with his hands. When he pulled it, he lost this good sweater!"
"Hahahahaha!"
"I think he just misses women so much that he goes crazy hahahaha!"
Several soldiers around who heard it couldn't help but laugh out loud. Only the person in question squatted in the corner and bandaged up, pretending to be dead.
Damn it!
How did he know this sweater looked like this?
I can’t mend the quilt needle I have hidden in it! Now there is a ball of wool hidden under the pillow in his room, and he has no clue.
"Don't be such a bastard. You were pierced by an arrow. It's been broken a long time ago."
Gu Pinglu also laughed, and used his eyes to signal the military doctor to take advantage of this guy's playful face and talk about other people's scandals, ignore the wound, and take action as soon as possible.
"Hiss! Ouch!"
The military doctor also acted steadily and ruthlessly. Gu Pinglu signaled from one side, and then he performed the operation smoothly.
Gu Pinglu stood up and looked around, seeing that the soldiers were all wearing a layer of sweaters after removing their armor.
They are still wearing a thin one now, and there is also a thicker one. They will add another one when the weather gets colder instead of warmer.
Thinking of the sweaters that were delivered this year, Gu Pinglu was both happy and a little worried.
These sweaters are not military pay materials issued by the imperial court.
He saw the winter clothes given by the court. Last year, how many people froze to death in the military camp because of these winter clothes.
Those who didn't freeze to death suffered from frostbite, including himself.
"It's so cold today. There's so much snow outside that I can't even see two meters away. I guess the Tatars won't do anything anymore, right?"
On the day after leaving Guanshi, he went to the outside of Guanzhong to help the barbarians expel the Tatars who came to fight against the autumn wind. Later, they repelled several Tatars who attacked Yanpingguan.
As it got colder day by day in the past few days, and the heavy snow came quickly and fiercely, they finally had a chance to breathe.
“Hopefully everything goes well this winter.”

"Hey, why are you so guilty and doing bad things when doing business with Gu Hou?"
Mei Bei laughed out loud when she heard this. If she remembered correctly, Gu Hou was the male protagonist's father, right?
It's time to show off their outstanding capabilities!
Mei Berry smiled brightly when she looked at Mei You, but Mei You didn't know why. Looking at Mei Berry like this, she always felt something was strange.
"For the benefit of the country and the people...the soldiers at the border will feel more comfortable during the winter if they have sweaters."
After Mei Mei discovered cotton that day, Mei You also remembered that there were very few cotton fabrics in Dacheng now, let alone making winter clothes.
Ordinary people know that they have to stay indoors in winter and wrap themselves up in three layers when leaving the house. What should those soldiers stationed at the border do?
Therefore, after hearing that it was a business with the border soldiers, Meiyou thought it was okay if he couldn't make any money.
"Yeah. But are you hiding it like this because this business isn't aboveboard?"
Mei Bei remembered Shopkeeper Ma's hesitation just now and asked, "Is it possible that you are quite secretive in this business?"
Mei Bei actually didn't want to think so. She could understand if this kind of shady business was done secretly and harmed others without benefiting oneself, infringing on the interests of those soldiers.
But now, it is obvious that the sweater business of hundreds of thousands of border officers only makes a small profit, which is approximately equal to the cost price.
What's so shameful about this?
Mei Mei glanced at Shopkeeper Ma twice. She actually didn't think about anything, but Shopkeeper Ma nodded slightly and said, "It's just as the Third Lady thought."
Mayberry:?
What was she thinking?
At the same time, Mei You also nodded and chatted about salt with Shopkeeper Ma, directly removing the topic.
Plumberry: 0.0
No, can you explain it clearly?
"Speaking of which, you were very interested in the salt we made earlier. I would like to ask if there is any salt production under Jiubaoxuan?"
"Not yet, but we can get one."
Shopkeeper Ma showed his strength and said it with confidence.
As for Meiberry and the others, they had such good salt-making skills, so she wrote a letter to the leader and master, and sent a letter to the entire salt mine.
"It seems that Shopkeeper Ma's status in Jiubaoxuan is not low, and he knows how many properties he owns."
Come on, Meiyu’s typical cliché.
Mei Berry saw that the expression on Shopkeeper Ma's face stiffened instantly after Mei You said this.
"Hehehe, what the second lady said..."
Shopkeeper Ma now wishes he could give himself a mouthful to talk too much.
"But it doesn't matter. Just like we asked before, how big is your Jiubaoxuan in Xianyao Prefecture? How much land can you encircle by the sea?"
When Meiyou mentioned the seaside, Meibei's eyes lit up, and she immediately knew what he was thinking.
"Well, we can enclose land at the seaside. There are many saline-alkali lands there, but no one is cultivating them, and there are few fishermen. It is still very easy to get a piece of land. Could it be that you want to use the salt from the sea?"
Shopkeeper Ma's mind was spinning very fast, but just because of this she said seriously: "Although the sea water tastes salty, it is very bitter and not suitable for consumption."
She has never seen a fisherman on the beach scoop water from the sea directly into his mouth and drink it.
"Ah, we can handle this, right sister?"
Mei Bei heard Mei You mention the seaside and knew what Mei You was thinking.
Shopkeeper Ma was overjoyed to see Mei Liang nod, and directly took Mei Liang and the others to have lunch here, chatting until the evening.
In the end, Meiberry couldn't bear it any longer and said she had to take her time with this thing, so she was released home.
As soon as she entered the yard, Meiberry heard a cooing sound above her head. Meiberry raised her head and looked at a peregrine falcon standing on the roof of her house.
"Wow, you're here again?"
Mayberry was extremely happy when she saw the peregrine falcon. She ran directly into the kitchen, cut the fresh lamb at home into strips and took it to the yard.
Taking out the whistle hanging around his neck, Mei Berry blew it once, and the peregrine falcon flapped its wings and flew in front of Mei Berry.
Meiberry didn't need to worry about it. He just threw himself into the bamboo basket and cooked the rice. Meiberry reached for the letter stuck on his ankle and ignored it.
She wrote a letter to Xie Changxu before going to Guan City, and the other party replied~
Mayberry: Today is another day to work hard to give the person you check in a sense of presence~
Xie Changshu: Falling in love starts with making a pen pal.
Meiyou: Are you overtaking secretly?
Gu Pinglu: QvQ
