Chapter 379 Raising Supplies

When Boss Ke heard her intention, his brows furrowed. "Miss Wen, you're going to kill half of my cattle."

"I have urgent needs, and I have many things to take care of."

Boss Ke was a little hesitant. You know, cows are different from pigs. It takes almost a year for a cow to be pregnant and give birth, and each time it only gives birth to one calf.

He couldn't help but feel some pain after slaughtering more than half of the cattle at once. If he wanted to expand to this scale again, he would have to spend another year.

"Can you tell me why?"

"Notice." Wen Zhenyi didn't say it explicitly, but just mentioned something that everyone knew.

Boss Ke was a little puzzled. It was true that there was a war on the border, but he couldn't understand why so many supplies were suddenly needed.

He could understand if natural disasters benefited the people, but Wen Zhenyi was obviously not such a person, and this was what puzzled him.

"Boss Ke, you raise cattle to sell, right? It's just the same if you sell them early so you can get most of the money back, right?"

Boss Ke thought about it and realized that it didn't make much difference to him. "Okay, I'll send them to you in the next few days."

"Thank you."

Wen Zhenyi didn't stop and went straight home. He gave the letters written by Shen Hanxing and Wen Yongnan to his family and Shen Xiucai respectively.

Shen Xiucai's emotions did not fluctuate much after reading the letter. She probably guessed that Shen Hanxing had concealed the fact that her grandfather had gone to the front line.

When Old Man Wen and the others saw the contents of the letter, they just sighed and shook their heads helplessly.

Ma Yinghe leaned on Wen Chengwen's shoulder and cried, "Why is this child so worrying?"

Wen Chengwen gently patted his wife's back: "Children are growing up and always have their own ideas."

Old Mrs. Wen didn't say anything, just sighed and walked out of the main room.

Wen Yongman bit his lip, looked at the people at home, and then looked at Wen Zhenyi: "Sister, did my brother go to join the army?"

Wen Zhen nodded: "Yeah."

Wen Yongman lowered his head and stopped talking.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy, making it hard to breathe.

Mr. Shen opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't say a word of comfort. In the end, he could only shake his head, stand up and leave the hall.

Wen Zhenyi’s headache now is whether or not to tell his mother the news that his cousin is also going to join the army.

Old Man Wen saw that she was hesitant to speak and said, "Yi Yi, is there any other news?"

"My second cousin has also joined the army."

"What?" Ma Yinghe forgot to cry and looked up at Wen Zhenyi: "This is true."

"Well, I have to go to the county town tomorrow to give my second cousin's letter to my aunt and her family."

Ma Yinghe was furious: "How come these two kids are so troublesome?"

Wen Zhenyi suddenly felt that it was a good thing that Chen Hanxing didn't tell others about his trip to the front line, otherwise he would have been completely furious.

Old Man Wen looked at them and said, "Now that things have come to this, we can only pray that they return safely."

Ma Yinghe was like a deflated balloon, slumped down on the stool weakly.

Wen Chengwen was still comforting her. Although he was also very angry, things had already happened and they had no way to change it.

Wen Zhenyi went to find Shi Hui and asked if a few more pigs could be added every day.

Shi Hui thought about it in her mind: "Boss, it's no problem to increase the number. The pork shortage around the county town is basically not as severe as before. I was originally thinking of asking you if we should control the quantity."

"No, if it doesn't affect me, I will increase the number of pigs I slaughter recently."

“Are sales good?”

“It has nothing to do with sales.”

"Okay, I'll increase the number of kills for you."

Wen Zhenyi went to the county town early the next morning and gave Ma Yushun's letter to his grandfather and his family.

Grandpa and the others were very calm after reading the letter.

Although Geng Ru was angry, she was also relieved: "Finally, this kid is taking responsibility and knows how to take care of his brother."

"It's good this way. The two children can take care of each other." Old Mrs. Ma and her family have seen life and death, so they don't take it lightly.

Compared to being with strangers, two brothers supporting each other is better than too many people.

Wen Zhenyi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw their attitude. Geng Ru, on the other hand, told her to go back and comfort her mother: "Aunt, my mother is afraid of letting you down."

"What's there to be sorry about? If two brothers go together, we can look after each other. Do you think Yushun won't go if Xiaonan doesn't go?"

"It's really hard to describe my cousin's personality."

"So tell your mother not to blame herself. I believe they will all come back safely." Geng Ru was extremely determined when she said this.

Wen Zhenyi had a lot of things to do, so he said goodbye to them and went to the Song Mansion.

Song Yi has now taken over all the family businesses, and he was not surprised to see her: "I came for food."

"Master Cheng told you."

"Well, it's already prepared for you. I'll have someone deliver it to you wherever you want."

"Is it more than the silver you give me every year?"

"Of course it's exceeded, so you have no money for the next two years."

Wen Zhenyi smiled and shrugged: "There's nothing we can do about it."

"I'll buy some more for you, but I can't guarantee how much I can buy."

"Thank you very much, Master Song. It seems that I will be out of money for more than two years. I am afraid it will take even longer."

Song Yi smiled and shook his head: "When you are done with your work, I would like to talk to you about the fast food restaurant business."

"Are you interested in this too?"

"I heard that the fast food business in the state capital is booming. Who doesn't love money? Don't you agree?"

"Okay, wait until I'm done with this busy period." Wen Zhenyi gave him the address to deliver the food and left the Song Mansion.

She didn't expect it to be so smooth. It seemed like others had helped her a lot along the way.

The reason why Wen Zhenyi agreed to Feng Hanhe's request was not only because he was the emperor, but also because her relatives had to go to the front line.

She couldn't let them go to the battlefield without food and go hungry.

Ma Yinghe seemed to have figured it out, turned her anger into strength, and devoted herself to the workshop processing.

Instant noodle workshops, beef jerky workshops, and dim sum workshops have implemented a twelve-hour work system and tripled the number of staff.

The people who came to work were very happy because they had the opportunity to make money.

But they found that the things they produced did not appear on the market, and there was not even a trace of them.

The warehouse was so clean that not even a trace of residue could be seen. Everyone thought that Wen Zhenyi had sold these things to a farther place.

The large amount of supplies raised and produced by Wen Zhenyi were sent to the front line and handed over to the quartermaster Shen Hanxing.
