"I also want cumin powder and fresh milk!" Song Liyun pressed her advantage.
"Okay, have someone send cumin powder and fresh... milk?" Luo Baihu suddenly stopped, looking surprised. "What do you need milk for?"
"Of course we should drink it! Drinking milk is so good; it makes you energetic and healthy!"
"No!" Luo Baihu refused decisively. Who would want to drink that stuff? It smelled so fishy and disgusting. Just thinking about how he drank milk every day in the tent of the Uda tribe made him feel uncomfortable.
A grown man carried a bag of milk every day and survived by drinking milk.
Besides, fresh milk has to be boiled in a hurry, so if you say you have it, you'll just give yourself away!
Once Song Liyun had dealt with the sheepskin and cumin powder, she stopped worrying about the fresh milk.
All she needs to do is find Abu Ashi to find out about the milk source.
"Lord Centurion, when do Zhao Ashi and the others take their turn for rest? Are they coming to Suijin Town again?"
Upon hearing Song Liyun's question, Wang Zhong, who had been leisurely sipping tea, immediately became alert: "Song girl, why are you asking about them?"
Song Liyun touched her temples, a little embarrassed, and said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask why you haven't rested at all, it's been so long this time."
Wang Zhong and Luo Baihu exchanged a glance before calmly saying, "They have business to attend to in a faraway place and cannot come to Suijin Town."
The crown prince has just assumed regency, and the Di cavalry are still invading the borders. The relationship with the Di grasslands cannot be exposed yet.
Song Liyun couldn't hide her disappointment, unsure whether it was because she hadn't found a source of milk or because she hadn't found anyone.
After capturing Hong Jingtian, she should have been able to relax and enjoy herself, but for some reason, there was something she couldn't let go of.
At first, he thought it was a mistake that had drugged Zhao Ashi, and he wanted to apologize to him.
But as time went on, her simple desire to apologize faded, and her desire to see this person became more and more urgent.
Why? I don't know!
She probably likes him.
I love the sharp and powerful aura he exudes when he draws his sword, I love the sunny and bright smile he has, and I love the occasional glimpses of his innocent and naive nature.
Song Liyun admitted that she was attracted to his appearance and her heart was moved.
Next time you see someone, make sure you're sure you really like them. If you do, then go for it.
There's no need to ask about his family background, as long as he's not married yet.
Anyway, I can support my family, so I don't care about money, I only care about the person. I'll choose someone I like and find pleasing to the eye.
Ten years into the apocalypse, the world is in constant flux, and life and death can be decided in an instant.
Sometimes, missing out means missing out forever.
The omnipresent dangers of the apocalypse taught Song Liyun some lessons.
That means don't waste time and opportunities, or you'll easily regret it for the rest of your life.
Now that she knew Zhao Ashi and the others wouldn't be coming to Suijin Town again anytime soon, Song Liyun didn't say anything more. After reporting her work, she left the garrison.
As soon as she left, Luo Baihu immediately slumped into his chair with a bitter expression.
"See? See? I told you Jiang Feng had ill intentions. He was trying to rip out my heart."
Wang Zhong, however, was not so discouraged: "Jiang Feng probably needs money to bribe people. The spies in Pingyang Prefecture haven't been found yet, and the Crown Prince's side..." He didn't finish his sentence.
"That thousand taels is too much!" Luo Baihu felt a pang of pain in his heart.
"Let's negotiate!" Wang Zhong suggested.
“Yes, let him provide some more convenience to the garrison! And this girl Song knows how to make money; one Tianxiang Tower isn’t enough.” Commander Luo perked up again.
Wang Zhong said with a faint smile, "The share shouldn't be too much. If Song girl can't spend all that money, she'll only cause trouble."
Luo Baihu stood up and walked around the room. He hadn't expected that Tianxianglou would open so easily and make so much money.
At this moment, the thought of giving Song Liyun 50% of the profits made him regret it so much that his chest ached. He secretly decided that he would give her more shops to manage in the future, and only give her 10% of the profits.
After leaving the garrison, Song Liyun passed through the town. She still needed to ask Manager Mu about the house repairs. She now had enough money to repair a large area of fine houses.
Moreover, it's already August, and the time to start construction is fast approaching.
There was a market in Broken Gold Town today, but it has already closed. Rows of stone stalls were scattered with baskets, sticks, and ropes.
Several dogs were rummaging for food in the middle when they saw the horse passing by. They were so frightened that they tucked their tails between their legs and ran to the side, barking wildly.
Song Liyun had just passed through the main street when someone called out to her.
Sister-in-law Xu was wearing a brand-new pink cotton dress, holding Xiao Bao's hand in one hand and a box of snacks in the other, standing outside the general store.
Upon seeing Song Liyun, his eyes lit up and he rushed over, exclaiming, "Sister Song, I'm so glad to have met you today!"
"Hmm, what a coincidence!"
Song Liyun gave a casual reply, but the horse did not stop and continued to move forward.
Sister-in-law Xu jogged close behind, saying, "Sister Song, stop for a moment, I... I have something to tell you!"
As she spoke, seeing that Song Liyun hadn't stopped riding, she quickly dropped the child she was holding and came forward to pull the reins.
Song Liyun frowned, stopped her horse, and asked irritably, "What do you want?"
Sister-in-law Xu raised her powdered face and stammered, "It's nothing, I just wanted to sit down and chat with you for a bit."
Song Liyun felt that she had nothing to sit with her, nor anything to say to her, so she chuckled and said, "Sister-in-law Xu, your little Bao has run away. You'd better hurry up and go find the child!"
Xiao Bao was frightened by the horse, and now he's afraid of Ju Qing and keeps hiding to the side.
As soon as his mother let go, he ran off and crawled behind the pile of rubble left after the house was demolished.
Sister-in-law Xu was afraid that he would get his clothes dirty and be kicked out by Master Xue when he got back, so she had no choice but to leave Song Liyun behind to chase after the child.
When she looked back again, Song Liyun was already gone, and she stomped her feet in anger.
Song Liyun went to Manager Mu's place before returning to Baolin Residence.
During the meal, Song Liyun habitually asked if anything had happened at home that day.
She leaves early and returns late, and she always asks about her whereabouts when she comes home.
Unexpectedly, Song Zhenping's face turned red and his movements became awkward.
Xiao An's eyes sparkled, and she danced with joy, chattering away as she recounted what had happened during the day.
"They really came to find a spouse for my brother!" Song Liyun's eyes widened as she asked Xiao An, "Could you have misheard?"
Xiao An shook her head anxiously, "Both Hei Jin and I heard it. If you don't believe me, ask Hei Jin!"
The big monkey was squatting in its spot, holding the fresh peaches, pears, and apricots that Song Liyun had taken out from the "cellar," its mouth too busy to keep up, and all it could do was nod.
Xiao An and Hei Jin don't lie.
Song Liyun looked at Song Zhenping: "Brother, what exactly happened? Is that Sister-in-law Xu really going to find you a wife?"
She was starting to believe it. No wonder the woman stopped her halfway; she hadn't convinced Song Zhenping, so she came to talk to her again.
Song Zhenping blushed and stammered, "She said she was her cousin from her maternal family, and she's fifteen years old now. She wanted to... to be my wife. I said I didn't want to get engaged yet, so I refused."
Why did you refuse?
There weren't many eligible girls in Suijin Town before, so Song Zhenping wasn't in a hurry to find a spouse.
But ever since the market opened, there have been many matchmakers in the town, especially the Song family, who have long been coveted by others.
