Ling County is larger and more prosperous than the original Yongning County. After clearing all the zombies in the city and looting the houses, there is no rush and you can take your time to check.
Wei Xiyin was disappointed for a while, then she came to terms with it.
It's okay, we just don't have salt, but we still have other supplies.
Chu Yu sneered and poured cold water on her. "What kind of supplies does the girl want? It's a dead city. It's been more than five months. Even the air is filled with the smell of death."
The rest is self-explanatory.
Do you dare to take food that has been stored for more than five months among a pile of zombies?
You have to know that these grains are wrapped in sacks and are not sealed, so there is no way to isolate the stench.
"As for cloth and other things, they are probably tainted with smell and will bring bad luck if worn." Chu Yu frowned slightly, his eyes showing a hint of disgust.
Wei Xiyin took a deep breath upon hearing this, feeling a flame rising in her heart, wishing she could sew Chu Yu's mouth shut. She was beginning to suspect that the King of Changsha had expelled him because he couldn't stand his constant ridicule.
"It's best not to even think about using medicinal herbs. If they're left for too long, their medicinal properties will be lost, and the worst thing is the smell will change." Chu Yu continued to add fuel to the fire.
Wei Xiyin couldn't stand it any longer and said expressionlessly, "Then sir, go shopping by yourself. I'll take people to look for supplies."
I don't want to stay with middle-aged men anymore.
Wei Xiyin left behind twenty guards and left with the large army without looking back.
Chu Yu stayed there, thinking for a moment. When he saw her walking away, he started walking towards another street. As he walked, he sighed to the guard beside him: "This girl's character still needs to be tempered."
Guard: “…” Mr. Chu is really capable to be able to make the girl angry and leave.
Ling County is famous throughout the world because of the Qinghe Wei family. Although the city cannot be compared with the prefectures and counties, it is more prosperous and has a prevailing literary style.
Wei Xiyin walked along the street. She wasn't really angry. Chu Yu was telling the truth, but his expression and tone made her want to beat him up so much.
Most of the supplies in the city are no longer usable, but there are always some daily necessities that can be taken back.
For example, as long as cloth is not contaminated, it doesn’t matter if it has a little smell. At most, you can just wash it more times and dry it in the sun, and it can still be used.
For example, sealed wine is very useful in winter. Winemaking requires grain, and every grain is very precious now. Don’t miss out on something you can get for free.
There were also charcoal, bedding, vehicles, etc. Most of the transport vehicles in the dock were taken away by the men. As the number of people increased, neither the four-wheeled vehicles nor the wooden oxen and flowing horses were enough.
The carpenters are so busy now that they don’t have time to build new ones.
Fortunately, things turned out better than she had imagined. They had not walked far when the guards found a shop specializing in bird's nests and honey.
The bird's nests and honey are all sealed tightly and placed in the warehouse in the backyard. There seems to be quite a lot of them.
Wei Xiyin felt very relieved. This thing had a long shelf life. She waved her hand and loaded it all into the car and took it away.
They even found the car in the county town.
Soon, the guards discovered a leatherwork shop not far away, which contained many ready-made saddles, cow tendon whips, leather whips, bridles, bowstrings, drum skins, etc.
There are also a lot of polished leather and many materials for making leather goods in the shop.
When Wei Xiyin saw these things, she remembered to ask Qin Shan, "Is there any firecracker dealer in the city?"
This dynasty had fireworks, which were elegantly called firecrackers and fireworks, and originated from alchemy.
A long time ago, the emperor of a certain dynasty attempted to create an elixir in order to achieve immortality. During the process of refining the elixir, a sorcerer accidentally discovered gunpowder, which led to the birth of firecrackers, which have been used in some military fields.
For example, during a battle, gunpowder bags would be lit and thrown to burn the enemy.
That's all.
Qin Shan replied, "Miss, there should be a caravan. I will take people to look for it immediately."
Merchants travel far and wide, and as long as there is profit and it is not illegal, they will transport any goods.
Especially when the zombie outbreak happened in autumn, it would take more than a month for a caravan to make a trip, and most firecracker merchants would have already started moving around by then.
With that, Qin Shan led the two teams away.
Wei Xiyin continued to search for useful supplies.
Gunpowder can actually be made by ourselves, but there are certain risks. If the subordinates operate it improperly and it explodes in the dock, the loss will be immeasurable.
You have to know that they only have one safe defense area, and if it is bombed, they will have no place to cry.
But now it’s different. Seeing that Ling County is about to be cleaned up, I can find a place outside to build and produce, and collect some firecrackers for the people below to practice.
Soon, the guards found dozens of carts and began to load supplies onto the carts as they walked.
And the other side.
After Zhang Yuanyan and Gong Liulang entered the city through the city gate, they had been clearing out scattered zombies.
They broke into an alley, and Gong Liulang saw a grocery store at the entrance. The store was cluttered with things, including many small gadgets that could be used in daily life.
He asked someone to find a cart and load all these things onto it.
Zhang Yuanyan hesitated for a long time before speaking, "Sixth Young Master, we are staying at the fort to help the Wei family stabilize the territory. The Wei family's troops will handle the supplies themselves."
Their identities are awkward, and if they do too much, the Wei family might think they are trying to steal supplies from them.
Gong Liulang said calmly, "Don't think too much, Master Zhang. Since you're here, you should help to the end."
Zhang Yuanyan, a military officer, is indecisive. He has both martial arts and loyalty, but is only suitable to be an obedient subordinate.
With that, Gong Liulang turned around and walked towards the bookstore on the other side.
All kinds of pens, ink, paper and inkstone.
There are many readers in the fortress, and the original stock of paper is very large, but it is consumed very quickly, especially now that Mingjingtang's daily paper consumption rate is alarming.
