Chapter 955 Preparing Supplies

Qiao Ran asked again where they could buy or rent horse carriages, and Ma Biaotou showed them the way.

It was said that there was a Dali Carriage and Horse Shop two blocks away from their escort agency. When you got there, find a man named Niu Dali and tell him that he was the head of the horse escort team. Not only could you get a discount, but you could also rent or buy the best carriages.

So the two men asked the escort leader to quickly organize the men and take the four carriages of the escort agency. They were to meet five miles outside the north city gate in a quarter of an hour. The goods would also be placed there. They would rent a carriage and be on their way.

The two men found Niu Dali at Dali's Horse and Carriage Company and introduced themselves to him as the head of the horse escort team. Sure enough, Niu Dali became much more enthusiastic.

According to Niu Dali, his carriage and horse business is the largest in Beifeng City, with more than 30 carriages available for rent and more than a dozen newly made carriages for sale.

Time was urgent and Qiao Ran had no time to bargain. She simply rented all the carriages that could be rented, bought a new carriage, and bought more than a dozen horses. She asked them to send a coachman to drive the carriage to five miles outside the north gate to load the goods.

Although he was surprised why they went to the suburbs to load the goods, Niu Dali did not ask much. Perhaps the carriage they rented earlier was unloaded there!

Anyway, there was money to be made, and it was such a big order that not only did they rent out all the carriages, but they also sold more than a dozen horses and carriages, making several hundred taels in one day. This was a big business that their carriage and horse company rarely received.

Niu Dali, whose face flushed with excitement, asked again if he wanted to rent some more ox carts or mule carts. Their carriage and horse company still had dozens of very strong oxen and mules.

Qiao Ran shook her head. She just wanted to be quick and didn't want to use slow cows and mules.

After paying the deposit, the two hurried out of the city.

Five miles outside the north city gate, in the woods next to the official road, Qiao Ran found an open space close to the roadside and quickly released enough food and cold-weather supplies from the space to fill about fifty carriages.

Things like rice, noodles, corn kernels, soybeans, hot pot, smokeless charcoal, as well as sweaters, down jackets, cotton-padded clothes, cotton socks and cotton shoes, some commonly used medicinal herbs, and peppers and ginger that can dispel cold.

There were also several bundles of clean cotton gauze, which were originally intended to be used to make summer clothes in her workshop. She thought that many people would be injured in the war and need bandages, and cotton gauze had good breathability and was most suitable for bandaging.

After waiting for a while, they saw Niu Dali and Ma Biaotou coming over with their men.

Seeing such a large pile of supplies on the ground, the two were surprised at first, thinking that the two were selling these things to Beiguan City to make money. But when they heard that the two were going to give these supplies to the Dingbei Army soldiers for free, they couldn't help but respect them.

Both of them took the initiative to ask for a reduction in their wages. Qiao Ran waved her hand, not wanting to delay any longer. She just told them to deliver these things to Beiguan City as quickly as possible, and then she set off.

Niu Dali and Ma Biaotou looked at the two men's backs with mixed feelings.

Then the two of them looked at each other, and quickly shouted to their brothers to load the things onto the carriage, and hurried to Beiguan City.

The north wind was biting and I was shivering even in a down jacket, let alone riding a horse.

Mo Beihan felt sorry for Qiao Ran, so he asked her to go into the space to rest, and come out to go into the city together when they were almost at Beiguan City.

Qiao Ran said that Mo Beihan was the one who was on the road from yesterday afternoon to evening, and he basically had no rest that day and night. She wanted him to go in and rest, but Mo Beihan refused.

Helplessly, Qiao Ran had to find him a thick and warm fur coat and asked him to wear sunglasses to protect his eyes from the cold wind.

It was almost noon when the two of them arrived outside the Beiguan city.
