My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker!

"Since we have to go up against the people from the evil faction, then Second Uncle bought the right things this time. Didn't you say you needed 800 arrows? Second Uncle bought 3000 arrows for you this time, as well as 30 bows and 100 swords. They are all stored in the first three carriages, which belong to us too."

Qiao Mu's eyes brightened, and she happily nodded. As expected, Second Uncle was quite reliable with his entrusted tasks.

The child was delighted on the inside, but not a single emotion could be seen on her face. Qiao Zhongxing had gotten used to his niece's stoic face already and did not expect any expression from her. He pulled her hand and led her toward the 20 or so carriages in the back without prompt.

There were quite a number of workers currently unloading the goods, so they were nearly done. The goods were piled next to the carriages, the piles of boxes dazzling to the eyes. Qiao Mu's gaze settled on the 100 jugs of liquor, and her lips twitched.

It must be mentioned that Second Uncle's mind was quite keen, even preparing ample liquor.

"Qiaoqiao, I tell you, the food and beverage here will be more than enough for the six of us to eat unbidden for at least half a year, let alone three months." After saying this, he gleefully picked up a jug of liquor and weighed it in his hand. "This is superior grade bamboo leaf brew. The owner saw that I wanted a lot, so he gave me a discount of 100 copper coins per jug. One jug will last your father and me four to five days."

He gave Qiao Mu a mischievous laugh. "Qiaoqiao, I spent 10 taels of silver on this much liquor. You won't blame Second Uncle for buying this, right?"

Qiao Mu shook her head. "Isn't Second Uncle being a stranger with me by saying that?"

"That's true." Qiao Zhongxing brightly laughed and continued pulling Qiao Mu forward by her shoulders, introducing the goods that he purchased in high spirits.

Second Uncle's round of purchases was full of variety. Just the abundance in each kind of vegetable and livestock would leave people speechless with wonder. As Qiao Mu followed the trail, she silently understood what Second Uncle meant by being able to eat unbidden for at least half a year without a problem.

What was more laudable was that Second Uncle purchased 5 boxes of spices and condiments, nearly 20 boxes of medicine, and 2 carriages of all sorts of fruits.

Upon seeing all the goods that were unloaded, Qiao Mu finally felt her heart ease. With these basic resources, her family would not need to be afraid no matter where they drifted. She was confident that they could live just fine even in an apocalypse.

"Thank you, Second Uncle." Qiao Mu tightly grasped Qiao Zhongxing's rough hands, her faint voice traveling to his ears.

Qiao Zhongxing started briefly before smiling and patting Qiao Mu's head. "Silly child, why are you being polite with Second Uncle. Moreover, Second Uncle didn't go on this trip for nothing. Didn't I gain these 100 jugs of liquor?"

Qiao Mu smiled.

Then, Qiao Zhongxing pulled her to the side of the final carriage. There sat 100 or so different-sized cotton sacks.

Qiao Zhongxing picked up a bag and opened it for Qiao Mu to look over. "These are seeds. Second Uncle bought these from stalls without a deep look. Some were several copper coins for a bag, some were several hundred. Second Uncle blindly bought a bunch. See if it's useful, Qiaoqiao."

Qiao Mu accepted the bag and grabbed a few seeds to examine it in her palm. After leaning forward to sniff it, she automatically nodded and said, "These are seeds for a hemostatic herb that can make the most basic hemostatic ointment."

Qiao Zhongxing promptly laughed. "Then it's useful! That peddler really didn't lie to me. However, Qiaoqiao, Second Uncle didn't expect you to know something about seeds of herbs at your young age."

Qiao Mu involuntarily started, and her hand holding the seed froze as well. A question rising in her mind: "That's right! How did she know these were seeds for a hemostatic herb?"
