"Have a warehouse! Anyway, in winter, food and meat won't go bad. Grandma, after I finish my meal, I'll go to the county to buy more."

"Can I go with you? Can we go on a tricycle?"

Li Xue on the side also wanted to help.

Thinking that the tricycle could hold it, An Ning nodded.

But Aunt Zhao was worried. After all, her granddaughter had just recovered. What if she got a fever again after going out?

"Ningning, how about I ask someone to notify Captain Qin and ask him to buy it for us?"

"grandmother!"

"No, I'll buy it."

As they were talking, a loud voice came from outside the house.

An Ning turned her head and saw a middle-aged man with a medium build, dark skin and a black mole under his eyebrow appear at the door.

"Uncle Li?"

"It's me, Ning Ning."

Uncle Li’s real name is Li Da. He is the head chef in the exploration team’s kitchen and is 43 years old today.

Although he looks rough, he is an excellent cook.

He can cook any dish; if you can describe it, he can certainly make it.

Recently, An Ning has been cooking for herself in the mountains, and Li Da is the chef.

So the two of them were very familiar with each other, and sometimes when they met someone in the cafeteria, they would call him Uncle Li affectionately.

"The boss asked me to go down the mountain to buy some food and meat for you. If it snows heavily and the road is blocked, we need food."

After hearing what Uncle Li said, An Ning's cherry lips twitched slightly, her shy expression clearly visible.

The old man is quite attentive.

"Uncle Li, can I go with you?"

Li Da looked at Zhao Shufen, afraid that she would object, and hurriedly explained.

"Okay, we borrowed a bullock cart from the villagers. It will be quick. Take a blanket and cover yourself. We will be back soon."

Thinking about the raw materials that Grandma Zhao had just brought from her old sisters, none of them were suitable.

An Ning was so happy that she almost jumped up.

"Grandma, don't worry. Uncle Li is here this time. I'll be fine."

In this case, Zhao Shufen couldn't say anything else, but she returned to the house, got a quilt, and took out her particularly thick tiger-skin coat.

She was reluctant to wear this coat, but it was really warm.

"If this tiger skin coat is uncomfortable to wear, spread it on the ox cart."

"Thank you grandma."

So, An Ning and Li Da went outside carrying tiger-skin coats and quilts, and saw two ox carts parked outside the gate, and other young soldiers there.

They are all from the kitchen team.

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

The four little soldiers stood at attention in unison, their voices extremely loud.

An Ning's face turned red and she sat on the ox cart feeling a little embarrassed.

"Hello to you too."

The young soldiers moved quickly and drove the ox carts towards Lingyang County.

In the car, Li Da recounted with An Ning what had happened in the team during the two days when she was away.

"In fact, the team is like this every day. If it is winter, it is not possible to go into the mountains for exploration, but... Alas, it is not easy for the boss."

Li Da had always been following Qin Zhenyue, so he knew a little about the inside story.

Knowing that the girl in front of him is his boss's fiancée, of course he says whatever he wants.

After hearing this, An Ning realized that Qin Yue was having such a hard time.

"Then there is no other way?"

"What can we do? Our eldest brother is very straightforward and stubborn. Even if there is a way to make adjustments, he won't be willing to do it."

Hey, after hearing this, An Ning finally understood something else.

"Is there really a way?"

An Ning moved closer to Li Da and asked in a low voice.

Seeing this, Li Da suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, so he quickly covered his mouth and shook his head vigorously.

"Ningning, it's nothing else. Don't listen to my nonsense. It's not happening!"

It's over. It's even more of a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt.

After saying this, Li Da thought he should just shut up.

Although An Ning didn't say anything, she kept it in mind.

She was determined to get these words out of her.

It doesn’t matter if Uncle Li doesn’t say it, maybe Li Hao can say it, and so can the guy with the surname Bai.

Thinking of this, I stopped asking.

Seeing that the little girl did not continue to ask questions, Li Da finally felt relieved and thought to himself that he should not say anything out loud in the future.

If you say something wrong and bring trouble to the boss, you will definitely be punished by running ten or twenty kilometers.

He can't run away!

Lingyang County vegetable market.

The vegetable market is exceptionally quiet today, perhaps because of the snow, and there are not many old men and women coming to buy vegetables or go shopping.

Looking around the entire market, An Ning and his group were the only ones buying things.

Because there are few people and they buy large quantities of goods, the prices are very cheap.

At least even Li Da, the chef in the kitchen, felt the same way, not to mention the others.

The owner of the meat stall saw that Li Da bought so much meat and cleared out all his stock for the day at once. He couldn't help but ask more questions.

"Brother, why did you buy so much meat?"

Li Da did not hide it, "Isn't it snowing? We are in the mountains, so we should store some meat in advance to avoid difficulties in going down the mountain later."

The meat stall owner glanced at An Ning who was standing not far away and reminded him in a low voice.

"Brother, your girl is so pretty, you have to keep a close eye on her. The county has been in turmoil recently."

Hearing this, Li Da was stunned.

I wanted to ask a few more questions, but I saw that the meat stall owner had already closed his stall.

But I always felt something was wrong. After all, the boss looked like a nice person, so I couldn’t just say nonsense.

I was thinking about reminding Ningning on the way back.

After about half an hour, when both ox carts were full, several people drove the ox carts to buy food.

In 83, the government began to encourage ordinary people to do business, but most of them were poor and did not even have the capital to sell anything.

It is very rare to have a vegetable market to buy meat and vegetables.

As for food, you still have to go to the grain station to buy it.

There is only one grain station in Lingyang County, and it takes about ten minutes to drive a ox cart from the vegetable market to the destination.

An Ning was sitting on the ox cart, looking at the people who had just come out of the grain station not far away, and jumped off the cart.

"President Zhao, President Zhao."

"Ningning, be careful!"

Li Da's heart almost jumped out of his chest as he watched An Ning jump off the ox cart.

He hurriedly grabbed the tow rope and jumped off the ox cart, fearing that something might happen to An Ning and he would not be able to report back.

"Friend An Ning! Why are you here?"

Zhao Kun was overjoyed when he saw An Ning.

"Thank you so much for what happened last time!"

"I want to thank you too. Thank you for the compass you gave me! I really like it! I can't express it in words!"

An Ning returned a Taoist salute, which frightened Zhao Kun so much that he quickly took a step back and did not dare to accept it.

Afterwards, he and his good friend thought that although An Ning looked very low-key, she was much better than those masters.

You can tell at first glance that he has real talent.

So such people must never be offended, and can only be made friends with them with caution.

"Don't be polite. I got it by accident. I'm happy to give you something you need."

After a few polite words, Zhao Kun mentioned his good friend.

"You mean Mr. Zhong?"
