Chapter 789 The Caravan Returns
Fortunately, the arsenal can accept orders for any approved projects, and the army only takes 10% of the profits. Otherwise, Mr. Qin would definitely not dare to say so easily that he wants to do it again.
"It's not easy for anyone in this situation now," Shen Qingqian sighed. "Even my fourth brother couldn't stand it anymore. The last time he went home, he specifically asked for the ice-making method."
Shen Yong was now tanned like a piece of charcoal. If it weren't for his unique speaking style, Shen Qingqian would have almost failed to recognize him.
At this point, Sheng Ze paused, looked sideways at her, and moved his lips a few times before saying, "Qianqian, I'm afraid the method of making ice can't be kept secret for much longer."
"It's originally a very simple thing. It will be worthless if you reveal it. If you can't hide it, then don't hide it." Shen Qingqian said indifferently.
After Shen Qingning's pastry shop reopened, he also started selling ice cubes, but because many people knew this method, it was impossible for everyone not to notice it. Shen Qingqian had already expected it.
Sheng Ze also knew that any business would no longer be a secret in the end, but he still felt sorry for Shen Qingqian because this girl was a money-grubber.
But fortunately, the things he asked Lingyun to get should be back soon, and he can give her a surprise then.
As soon as the two of them left the arsenal, someone came looking for them.
"General, Sixth Miss, the caravan we sent out to the border has returned!"
Shen Qingqian and Sheng Ze looked at each other and immediately quickened their pace.
The caravan outside the Great Wall has always been their concern. Now that it has returned, of course they have to rush over to find out what's going on.
The caravan went directly to the Hubei North Army. This team was equivalent to an official team, so naturally they had to report the situation to Liang Cheng first.
When Shen Qingqian and Sheng Ze arrived, these people had just been taken away and had drunk several bowls of tea. They were now in Liang Cheng's office.
"You two are here." Liang Cheng saw Shen Qingqian and Sheng Ze and waved quickly, "It's just right, you two should come and listen too."
Zheng Shicheng and Zhang Zhiyao were also in the room at this moment. They nodded and smiled at Shen Qingqian and Sheng Ze as a greeting.
Everyone's eyes turned to the leaders of the caravan.
"Your Excellency, General, we have fulfilled your orders and sold all the goods we brought with us. On our way back, we also brought back some goods not available in northern Hubei."
The captain of the caravan recounted their experiences along the way, and finally bowed and said, "May God bless us all and return safely!"
The drought occurred after they left, and the grassland was not spared. Shen Qingqian knew how difficult their journey was just by thinking about it.
"How did you get through this severe drought?" Zheng Shicheng asked with concern.
The captain of the caravan suddenly looked at Shen Qingqian and bowed, "Thank you, Miss Six, for telling us how to make ice. We relied on this method to get back safely."
He told them how they dealt with the drought, and Shen Qingqian and the others were moved to tears.
The drought outside the Great Wall was indeed severe, but there was water available. They knew how to make ice, so whenever they found water, they would try to make ice and take it away. When there was really no water, they even drank urine and blood, but that only happened once or twice. Every time, they could hold on until they found a new water source.
Shen Qingqian didn't think there was anything wrong with them drinking urine and blood when they were completely dehydrated, because in such an environment, it was already very difficult to get urine, and drinking blood was not advisable, but when there was no other way, they had to hold on.
This is a way for humans to save themselves when facing natural disasters. It is absolutely not shameful or disgusting.
