After selling the weapon, Zhang Wei and He Kun exchanged the captured Japanese watches for the current ocean, and the dozens of watches added up to more than 40 oceans, and after receiving so much money, Zhang Wei naturally couldn't forget the brothers who were trained in the barracks.

The remaining 2,000 pieces of fiat currency and the ocean exchanged for watches were all used to buy supplies and a large number of chickens, ducks, fish, and non-staple food, mostly jerky, to improve the lives of the brothers in the battalion.

Now prices are soaring, but Changsha is okay, because it is temporarily far away from the war, and the price increase is not too big compared with the cities near the front line, and more than 40 yuan of the ocean plus 2,000 yuan of fiat currency can also buy a lot of things.

The materials purchased are mainly meat, supplemented by seasonings, and the food supplies sent down by the troops are basically coarse grains, and the seasonings are also very simple, basically coarse salt ions, soy sauce and vinegar or something, very little.

Zhang Wei also bought a lot of spices to try to ensure that the soldiers ate well.

Changsha had not yet been affected by the war, and the city was still thriving, and Zhang Wei and his party had just loaded the horses with the meat and spices they had bought, and continued to wander around the market.

Changsha has not yet fully entered the state of military officers, and the bazaar is full of people selling food, snacks, and all kinds of playthings.

If Zhang Wei hadn't come from the later generations, looking at the scene in front of him, he wouldn't have believed that after a while, this beautiful and lively city would become the focus of several clashes between the Chinese and Japanese armies.

"Rice noodles, rice noodles, delicious and delicious Changsha rice noodles."

"Stinky tofu, stinky tofu, stinky tofu that I can never forget after eating." Walking and walking, Zhang Wei and his party came to the place where snacks are sold, all of them are all kinds of snacks, from the morning to now, Zhang Wei is also a little hungry, and the brothers behind are still leading the horses, I am afraid that they are more tired.

"He Kun, let's go, take the brothers to eat something good, rest!"

Zhang Wei waved his hand and walked into a rice noodle shop, which is different from the stall on the street, this rice noodle shop is a serious storefront, and there are two floors of small buildings, the shopkeeper is soliciting customers at the door, and when he saw Zhang Wei entering the door, he immediately walked over with a smile.

"How many of you are there, officer?"

Zhang Wei is now wealthy, and he just purchased more than 40 yuan of surplus 2,000 yuan of military salary and watches, and after buying a lot of meat and non-staple food, the 2,000 yuan of military salary was spent, and half of the more than 40 yuan of ocean remains, and there are more than 20 yuan.

Zhang Wei was in a good mood, after all, he made so much money, and he casually threw a piece of ocean to the shopkeeper.

"Fourteen, with horses behind, and people are waiting for them."

The shopkeeper got the money, and the smile on his face was even worse, this ocean was enough for his two months' salary.

"Don't worry, guest officer, our rice noodles here are a must, and you can rest assured that there is a special person waiting in the backyard to ensure that you can't go out of the pool." After saying that, he beckoned someone and took the mules and horses full of goods.

Of course, Zhang Wei would not be stupid enough to completely hand over the mule and horse to the people in the store to take care of the horse, which not only carried the goods, but also the ocean with it, so he let He Kun leave four capable brothers to take care of it.

Most of the brothers who came with this time were the oldest veterans of the preparation battalion, and some of them were brought over by Zhang Wei when he was teaching the corps, and they were absolutely reliable.

The rest of the people went into the store.

The store was very clean, and under the guidance of Xiao Er, Zhang Wei and the ten people sat down separately.

"Guest, what do you want to eat?"

Zhang Wei glanced at the store, the business is good, this shop focuses on rice noodles, and there are a lot of other snacks and food.

"What do you have here?" He Kun said.

"There are all kinds of rice noodles in the shop, if you want to eat other things, snacks, all kinds of dishes are readily available, as long as you choose, there is no food in Changsha City, there is nothing that our store can't get." The child boasted.

Zhang Wei scolded with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, serve!." ”

"Little Er, pick up the good ones, first send rice noodles to the four brothers behind us, and then serve some side dishes, and take the best things in your store." Zhang Wei is now a local tyrant, and of course the landlord has the style of the landlord.

"Gotcha! You wait. The little two complimented him and went down to serve the food.

Zhang Wei took a sip of tea and asked Xiang He Kun: "Those brothers who are looking at things in the back are all with guys, right?" ”

He Kun nodded: "They all have shell guns, and everyone also brings a bayonet, don't worry, the battalion commander, they are all veterans, and ordinary people can't get close." ”

"Okay."

This shop specializes in Changsha rice noodles, as well as a variety of dishes and snacks.

Changsha rice noodles have a long history, the taste is mainly spicy, the main ingredient is rice noodles, sprinkled with shredded mustard and shredded meat, and the soup is bone broth.

The shop was filled with the aroma of rice noodles, and the shopkeeper followed Zhang Wei's words and sent a bowl of rice noodles to one of the brothers in the backyard, adding some side dishes, and then serving food to the ten people on Zhang Wei's table.

One person has a bowl of spicy rice noodles, and three dishes of beef and three dishes of side dishes, all of which are soldiers, not so particular, and they start to eat when the dishes are complete.

"He Kun, think about it, what else do we have to buy." Zhang Wei asked while eating. Today, Zhang Wei had to spend all the forty oceans in his hand.

He Kun has been in charge of the small treasury for a long time now, and planning to supply food has become his main business, and his brain is also a lot more active, after all, he deals with money every day, and he has to bargain with people on the black market.

Zhang Wei thinks mostly about fighting on weekdays, and can't think too much about other places.

He still has to rely on him a lot in terms of making money and subsidizing the troops.

He Kun slowed down the speed of eating, and thought for a while: "Battalion commander, what we bought just now is dried meat, if you want the brothers to eat well, it is best to have something fresh, but the newly killed pork is too expensive, we can't buy too much, I mean, why don't we buy a few live pigs and go back to raise?"

"Buy pigs and go back to raise, Zhang Wei understood what He Kun meant, buy some pigs and go back, raise them yourself, pig cubs, eat meat and be self-sufficient, it sounds like a good idea.

"You mean, buy these live pigs back and raise them yourself?"

"That's right, battalion commander, the group of dogs in the cooking class, they don't usually participate in the training, and when they cook, they take the opportunity to eat meat, so why are these dogs idle, let them raise pigs!"

Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing, and it is really good to engage in production in the camp, Zhang Wei has no opinion, and immediately agreed.

The men quickened their pace, finished their meal, took their horses, and prepared to go to buy breeding pigs.

Since pigs can also raise chickens, Zhang Wei plans to buy a little of both, pigs can be slaughtered and eaten for meat, chickens can eat meat, and eggs can be laid, so it is better to buy some too.

There are all kinds of buying and selling in Changsha City, and there are also trading markets for living creatures in the city.

Zhang Wei divided the rest of the money into two halves, and generally continued to buy slaughtered meat, and the other half was used to buy live animals.

More than 20 pieces of the remaining ocean, one of which was not left behind, bought two newly killed pigs, bought three good boar breeding pigs, and bought three sows.

In addition, there were six roosters and hens, so many live animals, Zhang Wei added a few more pieces of the ocean, bought a horse-drawn cart from the seller, pulled them all, and returned to the camp.
