Chapter 409 Do You Think This Princess Has a Lot of Free Time?
Xing Si was surprised by the taste of the instant noodles. Although not as delicious as boiled instant noodles, it was still very delicious. Compared with the dry food they usually eat when going out, it was many times better.
After eating two bowls of instant noodles, Xing Si didn't feel full at all. At this moment, he was looking at Li Mulan with great surprise, "Princess, can I take this away too?"
It was rare to see Xing Si acting so silly. Li Mulan, who had been thinking of teasing him, also smiled at this moment. "Could it be that I just wanted to cook a meal for you? Do you think this princess has a lot of free time?"
Xing Si was excited, "Then how to make it..."
"Everyone in the kitchen knows how to make it, but..." Li Mulan looked at the little grasshopper, who was full of excitement but kept silent, "I won't let you go this year. Starting next year, I will let the little grasshopper take charge of the instant noodles business."
"Instant noodles?" Xing Si nodded. The name was quite appropriate. These noodles were indeed very convenient.
"That's absolutely no problem. We've already taken too many things from the princess for free. But Shopkeeper Li, starting next year, we'll be placing long-term orders with you."
The little grasshopper was so happy at the moment. He could definitely make a lot of money from this thing. His master really had a good brain.
"Absolutely no problem. We are all family. As long as I have the goods, Brother Xing Si can give me as much as they want."
Xing Si rubbed his palms, "So, how about we find some time to sign this agreement?"
"Isn't this a little early?"
"Not too early, not too early, it's better to settle it as soon as possible."
The little grasshopper was naturally very happy to hear this. Haha, the business hasn't even been done yet, and the big customer has come to place an order. What could be more exciting and happier than this?
Seeing that the two seemed to be really going to sign the agreement, Li Mulan hurriedly stopped them and said, "Let's talk about this later. I asked you to prepare something."
The little grasshopper then remembered that he came here with a mission, "It's in your yard."
"Okay, let's go that way."
Xing Si was obviously still focused on signing the agreement and was a little hesitant.
Li Mulan was helpless. "Xing Si, don't worry, I will definitely sign the agreement with you. What we are going to see later may be much more important than this agreement. Are you sure you don't want to take a look?"
When Xing Si heard this, he immediately walked to Li Mulan's side and said, "Princess, please."
Although I haven't spent much time with this princess, I have some understanding of her temperament during this period. She said there are many important things, so there must be something extraordinary.
The old butler naturally followed closely behind, and his pace was even faster than that of the young man, which made Huo Yuanruo and the others a little suspicious. Is this still the old butler who is always slow in speaking and doing things?
Huo Yuanruo looked at Li Xiaoqi and the others and said, "Shall we... go and take a look too?"
Liu Feng glanced at him and trotted away, "Of course I have to go and see it. Wouldn't I be a fool if I didn't?"
Huo Yuanruo curled his lips, picked up a piece of instant noodles and ran towards Li Mulan, followed by Li Xiaoqi and Ye Tianyu.
There were several wooden boxes piled up in Li Mulan's yard at this moment. Little Grasshopper walked forward and opened one at random.
"This thing is really warm. Is this also going to be sent to the military camp?"
When they heard that it was sent to the military camp, Xing Si and the old butler both leaned over to the box to take a look, but this thing looked quite strange.
The old butler held up a furry hat and asked Li Mulan, "Princess, is this... a hat?"
The outside of this hat is made of a thick, airtight cloth, and the inside is full of fluffy fur, but the sides are very long, reaching below the ears.
"Yes, it's a hat. The two sides can just protect the ears." Li Mulan picked up a hat and demonstrated, "Not only that, the two sides can cover the lower half of the face, blocking the wind and keeping warm."
Then he pointed at the gloves in Xing Si's hand and said, "Those are gloves, but they should be warmer and softer than the ones you used before."
The box also contained knee pads, masks and other items, all small things, but Xing Si and the old butler were particularly touched.
The princess is so busy all the time, all for the soldiers at the border to have a slightly better life.
Huo Yuanruo looked at these things, said nothing, and directly opened the other boxes.
"Snowboard?"
Xing Si was immediately attracted by Huo Yuanruo's voice, "Skis? What is that?"
Huo Yuanruo scratched his head. This was something Li Mulan had made when she was young. Whenever it snowed, they would go to the back mountain to have fun. Don't say it, I've really gotten used to it in the past two years. However, looking at this thing, I felt a little itchy.
"Snowboards can slide on thick snow at a very high speed. My junior master and I used to go to the back mountain to play when it snowed, and compete to see who could ski faster."
"It's extremely fast..." Xing Si's eyes flickered, "How fast is it?"
"That's definitely much faster than riding a horse. Once the snow is thick, it's hard for people to do anything, let alone ride a horse. This thing is much more comfortable than riding a horse. It's like flying, so cool."
As he spoke, Huo Yuanruo began to miss those days. Li Mulan saw how Xing Si was and knew that she didn't need to explain herself. He was indeed Chu Chenfeng's capable person and didn't need her to remind him at all.
Xing Si didn't bother to ask Li Mulan right now, but looked around to see if there were any unfamiliar things. Sure enough, there was a large thing that looked like a car, but not quite like one. It didn't have wheels on the bottom, just a flat plate. There were no carriages around, so... Xing Si was a little confused, "Princess?"
Li Mulan walked over and patted the simple sled. "What do you usually use to transport supplies?"
Xing Si was bewildered. "Horse-drawn carriage, cart, whatever can be used."
"The snow is so heavy that even horses can hardly move. How about wheels?"
"That's inconvenient, but given the bad weather, we can only be a little more troublesome and move less each time and more slowly."
Li Mulan didn't waste any words. Wheels can be used on the ground, but they are not suitable for snow. But this flatbed can be used, and it is even faster and more convenient than wheels. "
Combining what Huo Yuanruo just said about the ski board and understanding what Li Mulan said, Xing Si also understood a little.
"The princess asked me to prepare so much fine sand so that I can learn how to use skis and this... this car?"
Li Mulan nodded. "Fine sand is naturally not as good as snow, but I just want you to learn some moves, so it should be possible."
Xing Si excitedly bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Princess."
Li Mulan looked at Huo Yuanruo and said, "Yuanyuan, this task is up to you."
Huo Yuanruo puffed out his chest proudly, "No problem!"
At this time Ye Tianyu stepped forward and said, "Uncle Junior Master, I want to learn too."
Li Mulan smiled and said, "I'm not stopping you. If you want to learn, go ahead and learn."
