In this way, more than a month passed uneventfully.
Mu Yunhan and the other three generals had basically figured out the situation in Beijing, and contacted the branch of Huanhua House here to formally start the layout.
On this day, Mu Yunhan took millet and the purchasing manager of Dongyang Hou Mansion to the vegetable market as usual.
When the vegetable vendors saw her, they all frowned and avoided her.
Mu Yunhan didn't notice it at all. He walked up with a gentle smile and picked up a bunch of cabbage: "The cabbage in this season is the most unpalatable, bland and tasteless."
The vegetable vendor's eyes suddenly widened, he lit the pak choi vigorously and said loudly: "Madam, you are mistaken, this is pak choi!"
The most expensive, tastiest and most tender baby cabbage! How can those sprouted and light-flavored old cabbage compare?"
Mu Yunhan said slowly: "That's right, but it's still cabbage!"
She didn't mind it being dirty either, so she picked up the cabbage and held it up to her nose for a sniff, and said, "You didn't fertilize it, the water you poured was not river water. There are still insects in the leftover water at home!"
She shook, and several worms and water drops fell out.
"Yeah! Tsk, tsk, in order to make more money, you sprinkled so much water into the cabbage. This is fraud! At least one ounce of water and one ounce of worms in a pound of cabbage!" Xiaomi shouted.
The vegetable seller rolled his eyes, and Zhang, the purchasing manager of the Dongyang Marquis Mansion, smiled awkwardly with an extremely ashamed face.
In the end, Mu Yunhan took away a basket of fresh cabbage for 20% less than the market price.
She rubbed her hands enthusiastically and walked to the next butcher's shop.
After some bargaining, amidst the scoldings of the butcher's wife, a reasonably fat and thin pig hind leg was taken away for 10% less than the market price.
Stimulated by the fruitful results, Manager Zhang gradually entered the state of mind, waving his sleeves to join the battle, and bought enough food for today with Mu Yunhan and Xiaomi.
Mu Yunhan walked back through the messy vegetable market very proudly and confidently with a satisfied smile that said, "I have successfully saved a few pennies today."
Xiaomi whispered in her ear: "The fish is hooked!"
"Little lady, little lady~" An old woman in her fifties beside the road waved to Mu Yunhan with a smile.
This is Grandma Sun, the purchasing manager of the hussar general Tang Yao's family.
According to Kuwang, this hussar general was the one who escorted the suspected "Gu Fenglin" to Beijing.
Tang Yao was born in a poor family and had a small family background. However, he had a large family of children. There were more than a dozen people in his family, including young and old, plus servants. They all relied on Tang Yao's salary and Tang's wife's dowry to survive.
In this capital where land is scarce and things are expensive, one can imagine how difficult life is.
Therefore, every aspect of the Tang family's use can be saved as much as possible, and Tang's wife personally handles all purchases, wishing she could break a penny in half and spend it.
Because it was too shameful for the general's wife to go out to buy groceries in person, Tang's wife had no choice but to ask her dowry, Grandma Sun, to do the shopping herself, saving every penny.
Grandma Sun is dedicated to her own business and is also one of the top bargain hunters in the vegetable market.
It's just that prices have soared recently, and she is old and dazzled, and she is gradually unable to do what she wants. The low-priced dishes are of poor quality and the good ones are expensive. Every time she hears Mrs. Tang's sigh when she goes back to pay the bill, she is so ashamed that she can't raise her head.
Seeing Mu Yunhan killing everyone every day, she had a desire to make friends. She thought that if she had such a capable friend to go shopping with him, she would not only save money and effort, but also take care of him.
Mu Yunhan had no airs at all. He smiled and stepped forward to salute and say hello: "Hello, grandma, what are your orders?"
