Seeing that Yu Bai responded so readily, Fusu stopped being shy.
Immediately, he took out a stack of... colorful wrapping paper from his wide sleeves?
"Miss Yu, please look," Fusu pointed at the colorful pieces of paper and said solemnly, "The food you need is roughly this type."
He paused, then added, his tone filled with admiration bordering on wonder:
"Of course, if we could have that kind of... bottled water, the more the better!"
"This stuff doesn't need to be dug or purified, you can just open the lid and drink it. It's like heaven-sent nectar during the march, saving you the effort of digging countless wells and searching for the source. It's extremely convenient!"
Yu Bai leaned in for a closer look.
Printed on those wrappers were the modern food logos that she was all too familiar with—
A certain chef’s tomato beef noodles, a certain elephant bone soup noodle, French bread rolls, and several common brands of soda crackers.
There are also some individually packaged small rice balls and mugwort green balls in plastic bags...
There were even a few candy wrappers with fruit and nut designs on them, and the remains of a small bag of salted cashews.
There are a wide variety of dishes, but upon closer inspection, most of them tend to be light or salty and fresh.
Yu Bai understood instantly.
The food in the Qin Dynasty lacked seasoning, and the taste was mainly natural and light.
Prince Fusu and the Qin soldiers under his command probably cannot withstand the strong stimulation of modern industrial seasonings.
"I understand." Yu Bai nodded and quickly thought about it in his mind.
Of course, you need to prepare enough basic instant noodles, biscuits, and bread, and water is the most important thing.
But considering their taste preferences and actual needs, perhaps...
"Besides these,"
Yu Bai raised his eyes and looked at Fusu, his tone somewhat proactive.
"I can also prepare some more simple and easy-to-store foods for you, such as white flour buns, long-lasting noodles, and chewy and filling pancakes. What do you think?"
"Steamed buns? Noodles? Pancakes?"
Fusu was slightly stunned, obviously unfamiliar with these terms, but when he heard Yu Bai describe it as "easy to store", "simple taste", and "chewy and filling", his intuition told him that this must be a good thing.
"Very good! It's up to Miss Yu to arrange it!" he responded immediately.
"only……"
Yu Bai changed the subject with a hint of apology.
"The quantity you need is quite large and the types are quite diverse. It will take me some time to collect them."
"And to ensure freshness, we can't prepare everything all at once, so we have to deliver it in batches. The fastest... it will take about three days to prepare the first batch."
Three days?
Fusu's heart moved slightly when he heard this.
He originally thought that he only needed to exchange for some food, but he never expected that it would take three days to prepare the first batch.
Does this mean...that the amount Miss Yu intends to provide is far beyond his expectations?
Although he thought the two boxes of "gadgets" he brought were carefully selected, but... were they enough to exchange?
A trace of doubt flashed across his calm eyes. Fusu hesitated for a moment, then said frankly:
"Three days... I'm not in a rush. But, I don't know what I brought..."
He pointed to the two wooden boxes filled with antiques.
"Is it enough to exchange?"
Yu Bai burst out laughing when he heard this, with a cunning light flashing in his bright eyes.
"That's enough, more than enough!"
She waved her hands and smiled with her eyes curved.
"Don't worry, sir. I really like these things. If possible, next time... it would be better to exchange them for something similar."
Fusu saw that her smile was genuine and not fake, and he finally felt relieved and nodded solemnly:
"Miss Yu is straightforward! In that case, I will do as you say. Next time, Fusu will definitely bring something that suits your taste even more."
The deal was done, and Fusu's figure quickly disappeared into space.
The smile on Yu Bai's face slowly faded, and his gaze fell on the two boxes of priceless antiques, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
What Fusu used might have been just a slightly delicate "trinket" for appreciation in his time, but what he got in exchange was the most basic food and drinking water of her time.
And these jade disks, pottery figurines, bronze artifacts... any one of them, if taken outside, would be enough for her to instantly accumulate a huge amount of wealth in this world that others would find difficult to achieve in several lifetimes!
For her, this deal was a windfall!
