Chapter 183

The blue sky, white clouds and green grass are still outside the city. I rode a horse and slipped around to the barracks. The tension and depression of more than half a month were all thrown away in the wind.

An Xu learned how to ride a horse, it's really nice, remembering that Zong Che taught her to ride a horse before, she didn't learn to ride a horse, and she regretted it.

When the two horses arrived at the barracks, Zong Che stepped down first and helped An Xu hold the horses.

I haven't come to the barracks for more than half a month, and the changes here are quite big.

On the open grass in the distance, various obstacles for running training and grass targets for shooting training have been placed.Still far away, you can hear loud shouts.

Partridge, Daoxiang and the two children at home came back early in the morning.

When they arrived, the main tent had already been cleaned up.

An Xu knelt down and greeted Xiao Wang who hadn't seen him for more than ten days. Zong Che went back to his room to change into his armor, came out to talk to her, and rode to the training grass.

Xiao Wang followed An Xu back and forth, and his little paws kept trying to grab her skirt.

She went to see the vegetable greenhouse, and it followed her. She wanted to do carpentry when she came back, but this little guy was still messing around.

The partridge laughed and said, "I'm afraid it thought Miss didn't want it. When we came back, it looked around, and then ran outside in a hurry, barking everywhere."

An Xu put down the work at hand, bent down and picked up the little guy and put him on his lap.

Now the little tail behind Xiao Wang's buttocks wagged even more crazily.

Dao Xiang came over and said, "Miss, this dog is running around all day, it's not clean, it's even stained your skirt."

An Xu smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll just play with him for a while."

At this time, a soldier ran over and said, "Madam, there is a businessman who claims to be Fang, and he has brought several carts of goods to ask for an interview."

An Xu got up with Xiao Wang in his arms, and went directly outside to greet him.

The person who came was indeed Fang Fu. An Xu had also come into contact with the other members of the Fang family in the past two years, but the one he was most familiar with was Fang Fu who had cooperated with him from the beginning.

Fang Fu saw that someone came to pick him up in person, and said with a smile: "I dare not let the general's wife greet me in person now."

After getting acquainted with Fang Fu, An Xu knew his temperament, so he also smiled and said, "I'm not here to greet you. I heard that there are several carts of goods, and I'm here to pick them up."

Both of them laughed, An Xu turned sideways and said, "Please come in."

Fang Fu looked around and said, "Isn't it easy to take over this northern camp?"

An Xu shook his head: "I don't really understand, those things are all Zong Che's work. Even if there is trouble, it's him who is bothering."

Fang Fu smiled and asked, "I heard that Jiping City was flooded, were you there?"

"I didn't expect it to be so small," An Xu said, "I only moved in in the evening, and there was a flood at night."

"It's as long as people are fine," Fang Fu sighed, "Our six shops in Jiping were all destroyed, a dozen of the clerks died, and a few of the shopkeepers were gone."

Talking and walking to the main tent, An Xu put down Xiao Wang, and Xiao Wang ran to Fang Fu's side on short legs, sniffed, then turned around and continued to squat at An Xu's feet.

The partridge came in with tea, and swallowed the tea with a smile.

This little Wang is indeed a watchdog. Whenever a stranger comes, he always goes up to sniff him.

Fang Fu said: "Where did you get this little dog? It looks pretty good."

An Xu glanced at Xiao Wang who was obediently squatting at her feet, and said with a smile: "Zong Che bought it. It grows very slowly. It took two or three months to grow so tall."

Fang Fu said: "Some dogs grow slowly because they are too big. After half a year, they will grow significantly taller. There are many breeds of wolfdogs in our family. Do you want more here?"

Hearing his question, An Xu thought for a moment that it would be good to form a military dog ​​team, so he smiled and said, "Okay, if it's convenient, send me a few more."

"no problem."

An Xu asked how much it cost. If it was one or two, there was no need to ask, but she wanted a lot of them, so she couldn't do without the money.

Fang Fu laughed and said, "We are already old business partners, so why do we charge for this little thing?"

An Xu thought to himself, they are all businessmen, and no one knows who, so he insisted on letting him bid.

Sure enough, Fang Fu then explained the purpose of coming here: "I heard you said that you want to develop another production line for cashmere. I don't know if there is any progress? If there is progress, can you bring our Fang family this time?"

The cooperation with the Fang family is only for canned food and seasonings that can be stored for a long time. The cashmere industry is relatively easy to accumulate influence, and An Xu does not want to cooperate too deeply with the Fang family, so as not to accumulate a lot. It was recommended by Mrs. Tang at the beginning. Cooperate directly with the silk and satin company.

But now that she has also come to the Great North, Fang Fu has taken the initiative to come to the door again. It is not impossible to do the woolen business with them.

An Xu thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes."

Next, An Xu took out the two rolls of wool that he had made, and discussed a lot of cooperation details with Fang Fu.

Finally, a rough cooperation agreement was written.

At this time, there were already several breeds of goats and sheep with very dense fluff on the grassland. In the past, they were mainly used to make felt blankets. Later, An Xu introduced cashmere materials. Every year, large merchants came here to collect cashmere and specialize in breeding cashmere. There are more and more sheep.

If they want to open a woolen thread production base here, it will be very convenient for everything from raw materials to workers.

At the same time, the cashmere produced can also be separated to make cashmere material, and the provincial Anjia has to purchase cashmere from large merchants every year.

Based on this, An Xu asked her to set up the woolen thread production base, and Fang's shops are all over Daming, but they are still only responsible for sales and transportation.

Fang Fu has no objection, but he has another request.

The Fang family wanted to build a canning base in their base camp, Xiliang City.

Fang Fu liked the words "base" very much, and he remembered An Xu's words once or twice, and he thought it was a big workshop that was completely higher than a small workshop.

An Xu thought for a while and asked, "Do you want to buy canned food production technology?"

Fang Fu rubbed his hands: "That's what it means. Just don't worry, our Fang family is in the northwest, so it won't affect your family's business. Besides, we mainly make canned meat."

The Fang family has long been greedy for the way of canned food, and they have not stopped researching it for a long time. They can cook the An family's canned fruit, but they just can't put it in.

As for canned meat, no matter how many master craftsmen they hired, the taste of the meat is not as good as that of Anjia.

There was no other way, and those clan elders frequently mentioned to their father that they wanted to buy the canning technology.

Now that An Xu has arrived in the northwest, they are even more anxious.

If it weren't for the plague that was prevalent here a few days ago, Fang Fu would have come here long ago.

But now Huoliang City has only been stable for a few days, and he brought people here, which shows that he is anxious.

An Xu was not surprised by this request. After all, the profit of canned food is quite large. She said, "It's okay to sell it to you, but in the future, your stores are not allowed to compress our canned food."

When Fang Fu heard the words, he felt relieved immediately, and said with a smile: "Does this need to be said? We know how good your canned food is."

An Xu is not a tweaker, and canned food is not a big secret. When she first asked An's family to make it, she never thought that the secret could be preserved until now.

Immediately, she asked Partridge to bring a pen, and wrote down some key points of sealing and sterilizing the cans one by one.

The thing that presses the cans is a machine that An Xu made by himself at the beginning. It has been improved a lot in the past few years. The press is very convenient, and a skilled woman can operate one.

Because no external power is used, the machine still needs manpower.

Good people did it to the end, and when handing it over to Fangfu Technology, An Xu said that he could give them a capping machine for free.

Fang Fu took the two fluffy papers, his heart was trembling.

He couldn't match this woman's thoughtfulness.

Before the money was discussed, she gave the technical advice.

The more this is the case, the more we cannot be stingy here.

Fang Fu directly took out all the bank notes that his father gave him to negotiate the price when he came, and gave them to An Xu.

An Xu took it over and looked at it, and found that there were 3 taels of silver.

Fang's reserve price is really high.

She thought so and handed it to Partridge.

Well, now we have the initial investment for building a woolen thread factory.

----

Zong Che got off his horse outside the tent, and when he heard her laughter, he didn't feel the corners of his lips curling up. He walked inside and asked, "What makes Madam so happy?"

Before he finished asking this question, he already heard another man's voice.

When he came in and saw the two people having a good conversation, Zong Che's joy was discounted.

Fang Fu stood up and greeted him, "Cao Min sees General Zong."

Zong Che said, "There's no need to be too polite."

Then he asked An Xu: "It's noon, why aren't you ready to eat?"

An Xu looked out, "Is it noon?"

We didn't talk about how long it was.

Zong Che's heart was sour, he turned around and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to have a look."

An Xu said to Fang Fu: "Let's eat here at noon, you brought such a good thing, there is still some for a meal."

Fang Fu smiled and said, "Isn't that just to curry favor with you? Before coming here, the elders of the family have said that they must let me give gifts first, and then mention the canned food."

After walking to the kitchen, those voices were no longer heard.

Zong Che turned his head and looked out, feeling very uncomfortable.

From the very beginning when she traded two camels with Fang's family for a prescription of lotus root powder, he knew that this Fang was a little bit of a man and a woman towards her.

At this time, Dao Xiang came over and said, "My lord, I don't know what Miss Fang is talking about so happily, she doesn't even bother to cook for you. This..."

These words were like stabbing Zong Che in his heart. He gave Dao Xiang a cold look and said, "What is the most taboo thing about being a servant?"

Dao Xiang hurriedly lowered her head: "This servant realizes his mistake."

She had been afraid of this young master for a long time. When they met the robbers, she was frightened, but the young master insisted on giving the young lady the only soothing soup, so she was afraid of him.

Zong Che said impatiently, "Get out."

Dao Xiang walked to the door hesitantly, suppressing her fear and said: "My lord, there is beef and radish soup in the pot. Miss, let the servants serve you, and the servants will be yours from now on."

She didn't lay maggots on purpose just now, but she was really aggrieved for the adults.
