Chapter 196: Food and Grass

Bing San said, "The prince left with Ah Shun, Wu Ming and others before dawn. Qingshan did not leave, saying that he stayed behind specially for the young lady and asked him to follow his orders."

Su Chengnan frowned slightly, "Why is he leaving in such a hurry?"

Bingsan hurriedly explained, "The prince came here before he left, but it was late at night and the young lady had already gone to bed. The prince stood in the yard for a while and left Qingshan behind before leaving."

Su Chengnan coughed lightly. That wasn’t what she meant. She just wanted to know something else.

She thought for a moment and then said, "So the prince means not to come back yet? So the reinforcements are not coming to reinforce the Beiling Army? Could it be that they are going to Mincheng?"

Bing San's eyes lit up and he said admiringly, "Miss, you have a brilliant plan! It is true. The prince said that once the food and grass are sent back, the soldiers will be taken to support Mincheng. In this way, the safety of this area can be guaranteed temporarily."

"Whose subordinates are the reinforcements?"

"It was General Song from the northwest. The news came via carrier pigeon. As for the other villains, I don't know."

"Flying Pigeon..."

Su Chengnan's heart beat faster and he felt a little uneasy. But on second thought, Lu Chaofeng has many capable people around him. If there is any abnormality, he can

Found it, should be fine.

"Don't worry, Miss. The prince said he would try to come back in half a month. Please don't worry."

Su Chengnan raised his eyebrows unconsciously, "Who is worried about him? I'm not."

Bing San lowered his head and chuckled, "Yes, yes, the prince was wrong."

"Okay, have you all had breakfast? Let's go, eat first, and then we'll go to General Li to borrow some people."

"Borrow someone?" Bingsan was confused.

"Well, you'll know in a minute!"

This damn icy weather made Su Chengnan shiver with cold. Nian Qiu came too quickly just now, and she didn't have time to put a hot pack patch inside her underwear today. If she didn't eat something warm, she felt like she was about to become a popsicle.

Nian Qiu folded her hands, walked over in small steps and said, "Miss, I cooked porridge in the small kitchen and steamed some buns. If you want to eat noodles, I will cook them now. The soup base is prepared in advance, so it will be very quick to cook noodles."

Su Chengnan shook his head. "Don't bother. Just some porridge and steamed buns will be fine. Let's not be picky. Let's just go to the small kitchen and eat. It's warm there."

"this……"

Nian Qiu looked hesitant. She was actually a little afraid of Su Chengnan. The eldest lady's personality was not like the second lady's. Although she looked humble, she was actually very opinionated and was not inferior to those men of status. So many times, she would subconsciously treat her as a very particular person. At this moment, she was a little not used to it.

"What? Did you secretly hide something?" Su Chengnan joked with a smile.

But Nian Qiu was so frightened that her knees almost gave out and she was about to kneel down and kowtow. Fortunately, Su Chengnan was quick to support her.

"No, no, no, how could I dare to do that! Miss, I didn't."

Su Chengnan restrained his expression and felt a little embarrassed. "I was just joking, don't take it seriously."

Nian Qiu let out a long sigh, her eyes red, and silently held back her tears.

Su Chengnan coughed lightly, and suddenly realized that something was different. He secretly reminded himself to be more careful with his words and actions in the future.

Otherwise, the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously, and the psychological burden on these children will be too heavy.

Su Linhua rushed out of the house, patted Nianqiu on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You really can't help but be amused! You have to get used to it in the future. Let's go, I'm hungry, I want to eat noodles, who else wants to eat, I'll cook for you."

Nian Qiu was interrupted by her and immediately became anxious, "How can we let the Second Miss do it? I will cook it, I will cook it."

Su Linhua walked forward quickly, without turning her head back, and said, "Nianqiu, you need to practice your skills more. I am becoming more and more picky."

Su Chengnan chuckled and said, "Stop teasing her. This girl might take it seriously again."

Nian Qiu blushed and stamped her feet, "Oh, ladies, please forgive me."

Bingsan interrupted and said, "They are joking with you because they think you are their own. Have you ever seen the two young ladies talking to others like this?"

Nian Qiu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood.

She couldn't help but cast a grateful look at Bingsan, then returned to her normal expression and followed Su Linhua into the kitchen with a smile.

Bingsan just stood there in a daze.

Seeing this, Su Chengnan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and experienced the fun of eating melons in person for the first time in a long time. I thought to myself that I should find an opportunity to ask Nianqiu indirectly about her views on marriage. Bingsan is a good guy, and it would be a good thing if the two of them could get together.

…

After breakfast.

Su Chengnan took Bingsan to see Li Shanqi.

Su Linhua took Nian Qiu to sort out things, and by the way, he looked at what was missing, made a list, and found a chance to fill them up.

As for Su Weimin in the space, he was even more busy. There was simply endless work waiting for him. A new round of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn were about to be harvested...

Su Chengnan went to Li Shanqi to borrow people this time because she wanted to deal with this batch of food. She had to make the Beiling Army last until spring. However, she didn't expect that there would be any supply of military rations.

"Miss, look!"

"It seems like they are unloading food over there?"

Bingsan stopped and pointed in the direction of the warehouse.

Su Chengnan looked in the direction of his arm and saw a series of carts waiting to be stored. It seemed that there were quite a few things?

"Let's go and take a look."

"Are you still going to look for General Li? I heard that he will summon all the generals to discuss matters later. I don't know how long we will have to wait."

"It's okay, don't worry." Su Chengnan said as he walked.

What she was thinking was that if this batch of food and grass was enough, she could put the things in her space aside for a while. After all, no one knew what the situation in Ningguta was like now. If the people were in distress, she must have enough food in her hands.

But if the Beiling Army’s granaries cannot last until spring, then we still have to take care of it!

The cart driver was not wearing thick clothes and his face was covered with cracks from the wind and snow. He had suffered a lot. On the flatbed truck were bags full of cloth bags, which looked quite filling.

But just when Su Chengnan breathed a sigh of relief, the voice of Lieutenant General Chen cursing was heard in front.

"Can this be considered military rations? Look for yourself, these are all old rice! And there's a lot of sand and rocks mixed in it!"

The other party smiled and bent down to explain: "Don't blame me, we know there is no way! We have tried every possible way to find it, and even so, we paid a high price! We bought it at the price of high-quality white rice, and it cost a lot of money."

"How can you bear it?"

"There's nothing I can do about it. It's better than starving to death!"

Chen Hao sighed, "Damn this world!"

And the worry that Su Chengnan had just put down was lifted up again...
