Of course, it's not like she never thought of giving the food to Nangong Ye, so that she wouldn't have to worry about anything.
But if the food is given to him, her space will definitely be exposed to him.
Due to his status, even if he would not betray her, she did not want to let him know the existence of her golden finger too early.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Tao Qiqi explained some matters to the two captains, left Xiao Hei behind, and went down the mountain to drive her carriage to Nanyang City.
As soon as he returned to the small courtyard, he saw Nangong Ye getting ready to go out.
Tao Qiqi naturally knew what he was going to do, but he didn't know the existence of Shan Lei and the others, so Tao Qiqi pretended to be nonchalant and asked: "What? Are you going out again?"
Nangong Ye nodded: "Well, Mr. Yang just sent someone over to say that someone wanted to sell some food to us, but he was worried about whether there would be any problems, so he asked me to go with him to take a look."
"Then do you want me to go over and help?" Tao Qiqi said, putting down the basket on her back and handing the hare to Fang Yu.
"No need, we agreed to do business outside the city, and those people shouldn't dare to cheat."
After hearing this, Tao Qiqi said deliberately: "What if the people over there deliberately want to lure you out of the city? No, I think I still have to go with you to be safer."
Seeing that Tao Qiqi had said so, Nangong Ye finally had no choice but to agree to Tao Qiqi go along.
Then Chang Wu and the others stayed, and Tao Qiqi followed him out of the city.
When they arrived outside the city, before Fu An and the others showed up, Master Yang began to walk around worriedly.
Seeing this, Tao Qiqi couldn't help but said: "Mr. Yang, please stop walking back and forth. It's making me dazzled."
Mr. Yang looked at Tao Qiqi with some embarrassment and smiled, then stopped and looked left and right for a while, but when he still didn't see the food delivery team, he started pacing back and forth again.
In the end, Tao Qiqi had no choice but to shake her head.
Seeing the moon hanging high in the sky, according to the time at this time, it should be already Haishi, and there is still almost half an hour before Fu An delivers the food.
At this time, Tao Qiqi suddenly regretted that she had to come with her. She knew that there was a gap between the two parties' agreed times and followed them without eating dinner. Wasn't this because she was hungry?
Nowadays, not only is my chest pressed against my back due to hunger, but I also feel sleepy.
Seeing that Mr. Yang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, Tao Qiqi suddenly couldn't bear it.
But at that time, she also wanted to take the initiative to sell food. Naturally, she couldn't just deliver it to you. She couldn't let the other party wait and let the other party know that although I took the initiative, I was not easy to talk to or easy to provoke.
Looking at Mr. Yang who was anxious, Tao Qiqi thought for a while, and in order to relieve Mr. Yang's anxiety, she had no choice but to use chatting to divert everyone's attention.
"Master Yang, when did the food delivery person agree with you?"
Mr. Yang looked at Tao Qiqi and replied: "The letter only said that the transaction was outside the city after sunset, but did not mention the specific time."
After hearing this, Tao Qiqi nodded pretending to understand: "In this case, we can only continue to wait. After all, we are the ones who want to buy their food. The time they agreed on is obviously for us to wait. It seems that these people are afraid
Not that easy to talk to."
After hearing Tao Qiqi's words, Mr. Yang couldn't help but snorted: "Huh, isn't this normal? At this time, the people who have food are all the uncles. Not only are they hard to talk to, but they are also hard to mess with. By the way, those people will be around for a while.
If it really comes, we just need to buy food, and don’t say or ask anything else."
Tao Qiqi nodded, raised her lips and replied: "I understand."
As soon as he finished speaking, Nangong Ye's voice sounded: "They are coming."
As soon as he heard these four words, Mr. Yang immediately cheered up and looked at the food delivery team.
Before Master Yang could become happy, Nangong Ye's voice sounded again: "Master Yang, you said those people asked you to bring a thousand taels of silver, but didn't they tell you how much food it was?"
Mr. Yang shook his head and replied: "I didn't say. I was thinking, even according to today's grain prices, one thousand taels can buy more than 30,000 kilograms of grain."
"More than 30,000 kilograms of grain is true, but..." Nangong Ye didn't continue at this point.
"But what?" Mr. Yang looked anxious.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little confused. If it's more than 30,000 kilograms of grain, transporting it is no small matter, but they are just a few people driving carriages. Even some carriages are not driven by anyone. It can be said that they have just arrived.
Only twenty people."
"Less than twenty people!" Mr. Yang looked shocked and immediately began to suspect that there must be a scam. "Then...then, we..."
"Master Yang, don't worry. Now that they are here, let's see what tricks they want to play."
After listening to Nangong Ye's words, Mr. Yang immediately ordered everyone: "Everyone, please cheer up and be smarter for a while."
"Yes." All the guards agreed in unison.
Soon Fu An and a group of people successfully delivered the food to Master Yang.
Master Yang was even more nervous looking at the heavily armed group.
However, Fu An didn't take it seriously at all. He got off the carriage and said coldly to Mr. Yang: "We have delivered the food. Mr. Yang, have you brought any money?"
Although Mr. Yang was nervous, he was still a magistrate after all. After calming down his nervous mind, he slowly replied: "Of course I brought the money, but we need to check the food before giving the money to you."
After listening to Master Yang's words, Fu An did not speak, but turned sideways and motioned to Master Yang to check at will.
Master Yang saw this and motioned to the people below to check.
Not long after, the inspector came back and informed us that there was nothing wrong with the food on the carriage.
After Mr. Yang finished his report, Fu An slowly spoke again: "The grain this time is a total of 35,000 kilograms. Two thousand kilograms of it are a new grain called potatoes. The potatoes can be used as staple food for roasting."
Come and eat it, boil it, or cut it into pieces and make it into porridge with rice. It can also be stir-fried and eaten as a vegetable. In addition, if Mr. Yang can find open space, he can also plant it. This is the method of growing potatoes."
As he spoke, Fu An took out a piece of paper from his arms, which contained instructions on how to grow potatoes written by Tao Qiqi.
After taking the note, Mr. Yang stared at it for a long time under the moonlight. Perhaps due to his age, he still couldn't understand a single word clearly.
Master Yang had no choice but to hand the note to Nangong Ye, and he took out the prepared silver and gave it to Fu An to count.
The money is no problem, Fu An nodded.
Lord Yang then signaled his people to start carrying the grain to their own carriage.
With the large number of people, the speed is fast. In less than half a cup of tea, all the food was transferred to the carriage.
Upon seeing this, Fu An nodded again to Master Yang, and then disappeared into the night with his team.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Xiao Hei appeared in front of them, and Fu An took the lookout. Xiao Hei put all the carriages, including the thousand taels of silver he had just received from selling grain, into the space warehouse, and then said hello to Fu An.
Then he went to chase Shan Lei's team.
Fu An took his team back to the cave again and began to practice martial arts.
