Chapter 195 Acceptance of Materials
Miss Xue has stored so many supplies that the cellar is overflowing.
Everyone looked shocked and stared in disbelief at the cellar entrance. Uncle Zhang even bent down, grabbed a handful of spirit rice, and chewed it carefully.
"It is sweet and fragrant, and each grain is plump. I have never eaten such delicious rice before."
Uncle Zhang was overjoyed, praising it as if he had seen some precious treasure. After speaking, he turned around and scooped out some white flour from the flour sack next to him to taste.
"how?"
No need to guess, you can tell from Uncle Zhang's expression how satisfied he is with this batch of supplies.
"Fragrant! The aroma is rich and the aftertaste is sweet. I have never eaten such delicious grains before. It is even better than the fragrant rice produced in the Jiangnan Manor."
Zhang Shuyuan was originally a martial arts practitioner. He was assassinated by his enemies but was unintentionally saved by Murong Xun. From then on, he stayed by Murong Xun's side to protect him.
At that time, the late emperor had not been dead for long, and Murong Xun was not tolerated by the new emperor and the empress dowager, so his situation was extremely difficult.
Uncle Zhang couldn't bear to see him suffer alone in the palace, so he stayed behind and became Murong Xun's personal bodyguard.
Over the years, he had narrowly escaped death several times, and it was Uncle Zhang who risked his own safety to save him each time.
Under Uncle Zhang's protection, Murong Xun was able to survive in the perilous palace and gradually consolidate power into his own hands.
It can be said that Murong Xun's current power and status are not only due to his own extraordinary abilities, but also inseparable from Uncle Zhang's contributions.
After he seized power in the court and even overshadowed the emperor, Uncle Zhang retreated to the background to help him manage other affairs.
Uncle Zhang is elusive; even his personal guards, such as Yan Xiao and Yue Yin, don't know exactly what he's responsible for.
Since Miss Xue provided that batch of supplies, they have actually seen Uncle Zhang more often.
"With Uncle Zhang praising this, it seems the goods are of excellent quality, which puts my mind at ease."
A smile flashed in Murong Xun's eyes, clearly satisfied with the shipment. However, the necessary procedures still had to be followed. He gave Yan Xiao and Yue Yin a look, instructing them to move the goods out and begin counting the quantity and checking the quality.
This is a necessary procedure for everyone, without exception.
Although Yueyin is a woman of few words, she is meticulous in her work. Together with Yanxiao, she moved bags of rice and flour out of the cellar and cleared a passageway leading to it.
"Miss Xue is indeed a person of integrity. The quantity of this batch of goods is indeed several times larger than before. If there are no problems after the goods are inspected, I will settle the account with you."
Having made a fortune from that batch of vegetables and fruits last time, this time the quantity was several times greater than last time, and a satisfied smile flickered in Murong Xun's dark eyes.
He put his hands behind his back and went into the cellar first.
Xue Ruanruan followed closely behind, but she had other requests she hadn't mentioned.
The innermost cellar contains fresh, crisp vegetables and colorful fruits, all covered with dew, looking as if they had just been picked from the ground, fresh and tender.
The secluded space was filled with a rich fruity aroma, and even the air itself seemed to carry a hint of sweetness.
Murong Xun's dark eyes widened slightly, and he picked up a golden fruit in disbelief and put it in his mouth.
The refreshing, crisp, and sweet flavor spreads in the mouth, slowly flowing down the throat into the stomach, and a soothing warmth spreads throughout the body.
Soon, a warm feeling rose in my body, like standing on the snow in winter, being warmed by the sun, feeling warm and comfortable.
