The housekeeper was convinced by Nie Weidong's words. He said that in this noodle business, at the beginning, the girl asked the waiter to put a small handful of noodles in oil paper and let the waiter take it to the stall. The first three days were free for the waiter. Still not daring to give it away, Liujin took the lead and refused, saying how much he would lose in three days.
The girl smiled calmly and said: "The reason for giving away in the early stage is to make better sales in the future. You have to let people know that this thing exists and you can sell it only after they have eaten it. People have never seen it or eaten it. You Put it on the stall every day, who are you selling to? No matter what it is, only if you give up can you gain." Only by giving up can you gain, but it's a pity that some people never understand this in their lives.
Sure enough, when the sales started three days later, there were so many people buying them, most of them were civilians. The goods they had been stocking for a few days were sold out all at once. They all said that the noodles were convenient. Although wealthy families had people who specialized in cooking, some Bought to try it.
Now the noodles are actually the same as dim sum, and some people carry them to visit relatives and friends.
Dishes were served one after another, including chicken, duck, and fish. The butler asked everyone to eat quickly.
Everyone was talking and chatting about how lively it was.
After everyone had eaten and drank, the chief steward gave each of them another ten taels of silver. Everyone held the silver in their arms as if they were carrying a reassurance and full of hope.
In Ning's house, all the maids and servants were sent out. Only Aunt Liu and Chun Xing were guarding the door. The old lady was sitting there with a solemn expression. Aunt Wen looked at her daughter helplessly. After hearing this last night, They still can't digest the news to this day. How could this little person put such a big thing in his little head? He sent the things to the battlefield without consulting anyone, saying that he had done it carefully. She had no choice but to do this, but if the news leaked out and implicated her... neither the old lady nor Aunt Wen dared to think about the consequences? Today I planned to call all three daughters-in-law to listen together, but after much thought, the old lady didn't call any of them. They don't need to know so much in detail. They just need to know that their relatives are doing well on the front line.
At this time, she was sullen and unwilling to pay attention to the little granddaughter in front of her. Ning Jiayin stood by with a smile: "Grandma, don't be angry with me. I was afraid that the news would leak out, so I didn't say anything. They disguised themselves as a caravan. When they got there, The big brothers who contacted me secretly, no one knows their identities.”
Seeing that her grandmother still didn't want to pay attention to her, she muttered: "Nie Weidong will come later. You will know after hearing what he says."
As soon as he finished speaking, Nie Weidong entered the room. The old lady stood up excitedly. Nie Weidong was about to kneel down and kowtow, but the old lady grabbed her arm tightly: "Don't be too polite, don't be too polite, thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work, hurry up." , Hurry, sit down!"
Seeing the old lady talking so incoherently, Nie Weidong was also very excited, knowing that she was thinking about her relatives at the front: "Don't worry, old lady, they are all fine, uncle."
"Have you ever seen them?"
"The younger one met the eldest young master, the second young master and the third master. The others didn't, but I know they are all very good."
Ning Jiayin comforted the old lady: "Grandma, don't worry, listen to Nie Weidong explain in detail."
When Nie Weidong saw the old lady sitting down, he also sat on the stool next to him and began to tell: "We followed the lady's instructions and walked forward with our things. Along the way, the people Wu Lei and Wang Wu had contacted were waiting there, and they also We have contacted the local grain merchants, so we basically pay to load grain wherever we go, without wasting much time, and it goes smoothly."
Ning Jiayin heard that there were still twists and turns on the road, so she asked, "Didn't you encounter bandits or anything?"
"During this period, I encountered mountain bandits robbing things twice, but I was scared off by Wu Lei and Wang Wu's desperate posture. Another time, when my things were almost snatched away, several men in black came and repelled the bandits. ." They were all desperate at that time. The things they had worked so hard to protect along the way were definitely gone. How could they have the nerve to go back! But those men in black descended from the sky and beat the ferocious bandits away. From then on, although they were still as careful as before, their hearts calmed down inexplicably and they no longer mentioned it in their throats. They are not alone when encountering difficulties.
Ning Jiayin knew that although Nie Weidong spoke calmly now, it was very dangerous at the time. As she listened, she wondered in her mind who the man in black was, who was silently protecting her, or protecting the Ning family, was it the Duke's Mansion? Or the secret guards sent by the emperor? At this time, I didn't expect it to be King Jin at all.
"After the two teams merged into one, we disguised ourselves as a caravan. When we arrived at the border, we first stationed ourselves in the town. Wu Lei took me to the army and followed the girl's instructions to contact the eldest son. It was just as the girl expected. It is best to find the eldest son, but Wu Lei is still very cautious to avoid being discovered by others, so he found two pairs of clothes and we pretended to be wounded soldiers before we found the opportunity to come to the eldest son."
Taking the teacup handed over by the girl, Nie Weidong held it with both hands and continued to recall the scene at that time: "At that time, the eldest son was treating the wounded soldiers. When he saw it, I was slightly surprised and quickly suppressed it. I took the opportunity to hand him the note."
Aunt Wen was frightened as she listened and clenched her fists tightly.
"After that, we went to the appointed place to wait. The third master came with us. The third master and the eldest son were not too surprised when they found out that the girl sent us here. They said that if the girl were a boy, she would be great. Asked They were very happy to know that everything was going well at home. They said that they had been thinking about their family for a long time and could finally rest assured. They were very happy to know that the things we had brought were very happy. I heard that golden armor arrows could penetrate the enemy's armor. The eldest son's eyes lit up, and the third master even said several good words. The third master also said that they had not been able to wait for food and grass. The soldiers could only eat one meal a day. They had no strength and could not fight. The people of Xijue were fighting every day. Come here to provoke us, saying that the food and grass we brought has solved the army's urgent needs, and we need to go back and ask for instructions on where to place these things. When the eldest son heard that he had brought so much medicine for wounds, he always said that the girl was his lucky star." Nie Weidong thought about the eldest son. The corners of the young master's mouth couldn't help turning up at that time, and it seemed that Aunt Wen's mood was no longer so sad and worried.
"Didn't you see the uncle and the second uncle?" the old lady couldn't help but ask.
Nie Weidong shook his head: "We left the address for the third master and went back. The second time we came to meet us was the third master and the second master. This time we talked for a long time and learned a lot of information. The uncle and the others will show up when they arrive. He was a small soldier who was secretly making plans and helping to uncover a lot of secrets, but there were still fish that slipped through the net. To be cautious, neither the eldest nor the second master showed up. After the eldest son arrived, he treated many wounded soldiers. His one-hand suturing technique has saved the lives of many people who otherwise could not have survived, and now military doctors in the army are learning how to suture wounds from him.”
