    Baoding City is several hundred kilometers away from Peiping. The large-scale concentration of Japanese troops in the Peiping area did not have any impact on the people living here.  They still live much the same life as before, except that there are more hungry refugees on the streets.  From the mouths of these refugees, they realized that the Japanese were a group of murderous butchers and beasts.

    In Mancheng County, the morning market starts at five in the morning.

    At this time, it was just dawn, and people selling goods or breakfast had already set up stalls.

    The person in charge of grain procurement in the Fourth Regiment is Lao Yang, who is in charge of logistics and transportation.

    Before Lao Yang joined the army, he was a businessman, reselling grain in Liaoning.  Later, the three eastern provinces fell, and his family was affected by the war and had no choice but to enter the pass.  As a result, not long after entering the pass, he was captured by the Northeast Army.

    Later, he was inexplicably transferred to Tianjin Guard, where the troops fought a battle with the Japs. After losing, he ran south.

    When he was in the Northeast Army, he was a small official responsible for logistics.  Later, he was stopped by Liu Fudong and recruited into the Fourth Regiment, where he was also assigned to be responsible for food procurement.

    Of course, there is no need to purchase rice and noodles. On the first night when the four groups entered Mancheng, they got a lot of these things from the "generous" Zhang Huaili.  Coupled with the rice and noodles delivered by the logistics department, even if they distribute some to the refugees outside the city, it is more than enough for themselves.

    But fresh vegetables and pork belly are all purchased from the market.

    After all, the Fourth Regiment is extremely rich now, and the new recruits are trained hard. Xia Yang even said that the soldiers should be able to eat at least one meal of meat every day.

    Therefore, the amount of meat and vegetables purchased by Lao Yang is very large, and there is a lot of oil and water in this back and forth.

    There is a vegetable market in Mancheng that specializes in supplying vegetables to Lao Yang.  The food here is cheaper, and they don't use rotten vegetable leaves to make up for the price.  So Lao Yang likes to buy food at this store the most.

    After purchasing dozens of kilograms of pork, Lao Yang took more than a dozen soldiers from the logistics department of the Fourth Regiment to the door of the grocery store and said loudly: "Shopkeeper Lan, prepare all the vegetables I asked you to prepare yesterday.  Are you okay?"

    After a while, shopkeeper Lan, who was short and fat with a dark complexion, walked out of the store holding a steel scale.  His face didn't look good, and when he looked at Lao Yang, his eyes were a little dodgey.

    But Lao Yang thought that Shopkeeper Lan didn¡¯t have a good rest last night, so he joked: ¡°Shopkeeper Lan, what¡¯s wrong? Didn¡¯t you have a good night with your wife seven times again?¡±

    As he spoke, he laughed.

    It¡¯s not unreasonable for him to tease Shopkeeper Lan like this, because although Shopkeeper Lan¡¯s daughter-in-law is not good-looking, her majestic breasts and perky butt make many men¡¯s eyes glow green when they look at her.

    Before Lao Yang became a soldier, he could be regarded as a veteran in the field of romance.  Of course I know what Shopkeeper Lan's wife is like in bed.

    Shopkeeper Lan wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead and said to Lao Yang: "Mr. Yang, the dishes are ready and are being placed in the backyard! Let the brothers follow you!"

    With that said, he led Lao Yang towards the backyard.

    In the backyard of Shopkeeper Lan¡¯s store, there are two warehouses dedicated to storing vegetables.  He is a vegetable wholesaler in Mancheng County. The vegetable vendors who set up stalls on the streets basically wholesale from him.

    But now there is no one in Shopkeeper Lan¡¯s backyard.  Most of the vegetable vendors come here before dawn to wholesale vegetables and then sell them in the market.

    Lao Yang glanced around the yard, and then asked Shopkeeper Lan: "Shopkeeper Lan, why isn't the boss lady here today?"

    Hearing what Lao Yang said, shopkeeper Lan was shocked. After a while, he turned his head and said with a red face: "Sir Yang, my wife slept a little late last night and is still asleep upstairs!"

    After hearing this, Lao Yang immediately patted his thigh and said with a smile: "Just kidding, look at you, why are you panicking!"

    With that said, Lao Yang took his soldiers and started loading the vegetables into the truck.  Prepare to be transported to the fourth regiment camp.

    In another hour, the soldiers of the Fourth Regiment will finish their morning exercises, and they must prepare all their meals before that.  Otherwise, if Commander Xia blames him, no one can resist him.

    More than a dozen soldiers from the Logistics Department were quick and quick, and it took less than ten minutes.  Several oxcarts used to transport vegetables were already full.

    Lao Yang put a large amount of vegetables into a bag, threw it into Shopkeeper Lan¡¯s hand and said: ¡°Shopkeeper Lan, the money is all there, do you want to take a look at it?¡±

    Shopkeeper Lan put away the money bag and said with a smile: "Whoever misses me, you will not miss me, Chief Yang! Besides, even if it is missing, so what, for the sake of resisting Japan and saving the country, I gave it all to the Fourth Regiment.  The brothers have nothing to do with it.¡±

    Lao Yang laughed loudly and said: "Shopkeeper Lan, you are still so good at talking!"

    With that said, he planned to lead his soldiers to the Fourth Regiment¡¯s station.

    But at this moment, shopkeeper Lan ran up to Lao Yang and whispered a few words in his ear.

    "Sir Yang, in my yard, there is a cart of leftover vegetables from last night. Do you want to take them away too? I will calculate the number for you." Shopkeeper Lan said, making a sign with his palms under his body.  number.

    Lao Yang rolled his eyes, then stretched out his fingers, plucked off one of shopkeeper Lan's fingers and said, "Leave it a little less! Your food will rot even if you leave it here."

    Is it possible that shopkeeper Lan is doing something wrong: "This number is too small!"

    Lao Yang looked at the waiting brothers from the logistics department, and then said: "Shopkeeper Lan, just think of it as buying wine for the brothers!"

    After thinking for a long time, shopkeeper Lan slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, sir Yang, please feel free to take this cart of vegetables with you for the amount you mentioned!"

    Lao Yang smiled, then walked to the cart containing vegetables and opened one of the sacks.  There are Chinese cabbage inside, which looks quite fresh.

    So he asked: "Lao Yang, is your food fresh? If it's not fresh, I don't want it!"

    Shopkeeper Lan said: "Don't worry, it's absolutely fresh."

    Lao Yang took a quick look and found that there was indeed nothing broken in the cart of vegetables.

    There are a total of five carts of vegetables here, and he can get a huge commission for one cart of vegetables.  But for this bullock cart loaded with vegetables, he could get at least three oceans in kickback.

    Without thinking too much, Lao Yang called his brothers and delivered the cart of vegetables to the camp of the Fourth Regiment.

    Seeing Lao Yang walking away with his brothers, shopkeeper Lan closed the door to the backyard.  He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurried upstairs.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
