Foodie?

"Qiaoqiao…" Qiao Zhongbang was about to ask his daughter about the situation at Long Gate Inn, but to his surprise, his daughter did not look at him at all and turned around and ran off with her uncle.

"Alright, alright, Qiaoqiao, slow down." As Qiao Zhongxing was pushed down to the stone stool on the side, he looked at his niece's solemn and taut face with amusement.

"Second Uncle, can you help me buy a large quantity of supplies?" Regrettably, her arms and legs were frankly too tiny, so some seemingly simple things were difficult to do at her current age.

Qiao Zhongxing was startled. "Qiaoqiao, you want to buy things? You want to buy…"

Qiao Mu extended her hand and placed the chest with 300 taels of gold and the two pouches with 100 taels of gold in front of Qiao Zhongxing. "Second Uncle, here is 400 taels of gold. I need you to help me bulk buy all sorts of food. The livestock would preferably be alive, and I want all types of grains and fruits. Also, help me find Uncle Blacksmith to forge three durable but comfortable carriages. Additionally, help me order one batch of pig iron arrows, 10 bows, and 50 swords! That's all for now."

"Here is the blueprint for the carriages. Oh, Second Uncle, please help me purchase six swift horses too. As for the arrows, I need at least 500—no, how about 800! If Uncle Blacksmith can't forge it in time, then help me order it from the blacksmiths in nearby villages and towns.

Qiao Zhongxing watched the child, stupefied, and subconsciously laid his hand over her forehead.

It was neither burning nor feverish! So why was this child full of nonsense…

"Second Uncle, I'm wide alert and also know what I'm talking about." Qiao Mu pulled down Qiao Zhongxing's hand and firmly watched Qiao Zhongxing as she asked, "Second Uncle, with your estimation, how long can the six of us—my family, you, and Brother Xiao Hu—survive off of the grains and meat that you buy with what remains of the 400 taels of gold after taking out the cost of the weapons and the three carriages?"

Qiao Zhongxing paused for a moment before incredulously saying, "Qiaoqiao, you are forging not only carriages but also arrows and swords. Just what are you planning to do?"

Could it be you want to revolt? You want to overthrow the Mo Clan's regime?… Qiao Zhongxing found his foolish thoughts ridiculous!

However, Qiao Mu ignored his questions and merely pressed, "Second Uncle, can this food supply last three months?"

"Three months is naturally… more than enough!" His mind turned upside down as Qiao Zhongxing followed the child's topic. "However, the 800 arrows and the other blades and bows that you mentioned, they can't be finished within a few days."

"10 days. Second Uncle, I want to obtain everything in a max of 10 days."

"How about Second Uncle temporarily pause his bun shop these next few days? Bring Brother Xiao Hu over to my house. I will have to trouble Second Uncle to run around these next few days."

"It's no trouble." As soon as he said it, Qiao Zhongxing was stunned!

Why did he ineffably go along with the child's rhythm and agree to it?

"However, Qiaoqiao, can you answer Second Uncle? Why do you need all these things? Also! Disregarding the carriages and the horses, and also the swords and weapons, the remaining gold would be enough to buy out all the grains in two or three of the nearby villages!" Needing so much grain and food, have you discussed this with your parents yet, you little squirt?

Since when did this child become a foodie?

Qiao Mu shoved the 400 taels of gold into Qiao Zhongxing's hand. "Second Uncle, then you should depart this afternoon! After you purchase everything and return, I will tell you the reason."

"This child…" Qiao Zhongxing's face was full of resignation. "Qiaoqiao, if we buy so many things, we won't have room anywhere to even pile it up at that time!"

"Second Uncle, have you forgotten? Us mystic cultivators have our own inner world. So don't worry and buy it all! We will definitely have room to store it."
