Chapter Fourteen: Safflower and White Rice Flour

  After eating with Huang Sheng, Wen Fei returned home. He didn't drive any car. The goods had no place to stop, and the Hummer was too eye-catching. Wen Fei could only honestly take a taxi, and when he got off the car, he was careful not to run into his parents, fearing another scolding.

  It's already afternoon, but it's Sunday, so both of them should be at home. Wen Fei sneaked back into the house like a thief, and for some reason, he felt a little apprehensive about going home, or rather, he felt apprehensive about facing his parents.

  As soon as I entered the house, I saw my mother mopping the floor and shouted: "Quickly change your shoes, don't dirty my floor!"

  Wen Fei quickly changed his shoes and asked: "Where's Dad?"

  "Busy in the study room, correcting homework!" Mum said with a scolding tone, "You've been out for so many days and only now bother to come back, have you forgotten about your dad and me?"

  "What's wrong?" Wen Fei called out to Chui Tian Qu, "Can't you see I've brought back good stuff for you?"

  "Hey, don't think you can fool me again with that broken stone like last time!"

  "Wen Fei shouted: "That's genuine gold ore, dog-headed gold! What do you mean by broken stone? You don't know the goods yourself. This time I've brought you safflower!"

  "Safflower?" This thing is now generally heard of by ordinary people, but they don't have much knowledge. My mother just asked: "Isn't it expensive?"

  "It's not expensive, just a few dozen yuan!" said Wen Fei. Before he had even finished speaking, it was several dozen yuan per gram: "This stuff is very effective, the best for beauty and health."

  "My mother said: 'What beauty and health care do I still need? We're all old!' She said with a smile."

  Wen Fei hastily coaxed his old mother, telling her how to use this thing. Not only did he talk about its effects on the body, warming the kidneys and strengthening yang, resolving stasis and stopping pain, but also how to use it. The mother and son were still discussing when they heard a dry cough, and Wen's father made a stern appearance: "You're fooling your old mom again, this TCM is so expensive, didn't you just bring back some fake stuff?"

  Wen Fei knew that at this price, his mom would definitely not know, but it's not necessarily possible to deceive his knowledgeable dad. He quickly raised his hand and loudly exclaimed, "Heavenly conscience, these are all top-grade safflower! Where is the fake one?"

  Just took a few safflower flowers and soaked them in water or alcohol, you can see the yellow-orange lines on the stamens falling down. The safflower flowers are hollow after they bloom. Wen Fei said: "See? It's the real deal. If you don't believe me, we'll take 3 more safflower flowers and soak them in water for an hour, changing the water three times, and each time the color of the water will be a clear yellow, while the safflower flowers won't change color much. Any fake ones can't do that."

  His father's face turned black and he roared: "Safflower is priced by the kilogram, have you ever wasted it like this? You little brat want to be beaten or what?"

  。。。。。。。。。。。。。

  A large shipment of grain arrived in ancient times, and this time it didn't need to be beaten to death, it directly appeared in the Song army's camp.

  Wen Fei's face didn't look too good, he was now somewhat famous. Naturally, the number of people staring at his eyes increased, and he couldn't act as carefree as before. For example, previously when running an errand to Song Dynasty, he would dare to pull a cart of goods directly to find Huang Sheng.

  But it's different now, those things are obviously brought from thousands of miles away in Gansu, Qinghai or Tibet. Can't say that my goods can fly, right? It's impossible to make a round trip from the local city to those places overnight.

  And now he has to be even more careful, who knows if there's anyone monitoring or following him? Before, Wen Fei was unknown and naturally no one would bother. But now that his business is bigger, it's not necessarily the case! In the future, he won't be able to frequently travel back and forth.

  Just like this time, Wen Fei drove the car and ran out of the city. Only then did he find a deserted place to play hide-and-seek, but such behavior is not usual, who knows if someone saw your disappearance in an unseen corner?

  He didn't want to see some third-rate newspaper publish "Mysterious Truck Disappears on xxx, Was it a Black Hole or Aliens?" in a few days. Moreover, with the internet being so developed now, if someone took a picture and posted it online, that would be a big joke. After all, he still remembered his last "Most Awesome Taoist Priest".

  Damn it! These days, even walking on the street or going to the toilet, there are people taking sneak shots. There's no secrecy at all, is there still any right to privacy?!

  As soon as the cargo box appeared, it was surrounded by those Song soldiers, and the distant laborers were also looking around curiously. Although it wasn't the first time seeing such a big fellow, every time they saw it, people couldn't help but feel awe-inspired.

  Wen Fei opened the rear compartment and shouted, "Hurry up, move the stuff away!" This compartment was all filled with grain, and it was said that these were two or three yuan per kilogram of rice and flour, totaling over ten tons. It's enough for so many people to eat for several days. There are also several boxes of compressed biscuits, if not, just gnaw on this! Anyway, Wen Fei planned to minimize the number of times he crossed over in the future, at least he couldn't drive such a big car to cross over. So try to send as much stuff as possible.

  Zhang Shu Ye shouted that the military camp's food and grass were insufficient for three days, which was somewhat exaggerated. Wen Fei couldn't let him really lose the battle and die, as a good business partner like this wasn't easy to find.

  Ten tons of grain, which is 20,000 catties, can only feed these soldiers and civilians for two days, and that's still on an empty stomach. So, it can be said that war is not about fighting, but about money!

  Zhang Shu Ye smiled and walked over: "Master Xian is indeed a trustworthy person, you've sent the grain over so quickly. Oh..." He was startled and stuttered: "Master Xian, we soldiers on the outside don't need to eat such good food..."

  These rice and buns had already made those soldiers laugh with joy. Even the laborers from afar who saw them were all swallowing their saliva. Have these people ever eaten such white food in their lives?

  Wen Fei wanted to get some cheap coarse grains to muddle through, but for the time being, he couldn't find a place to sell them. He wasn't familiar with this aspect either.

  "Is this the tribute rice and noodles that officials eat? It's just like this, right?" Zhang Shuye said with a bitter smile, thinking that he had to foot the bill for these grains, he felt an urge to cry.

  Wen Fei coughed dryly and said, "No choice, I still have things to attend to upstairs, so I won't be able to come often from now on!"

  As soon as he said this, Zhang Shuye's face turned ugly. Although such things are inevitable, a fairy cannot always come and go in the mortal world. Thinking that a fairy can enter the mortal world and bring about such a great impact, if those fairies can run to the mortal world at will, wouldn't it be chaotic?
