1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 877 Arrival
Captain Ma was clearly familiar with the staff of this restaurant, and he immediately started calling out, "The same as always, enough for eighteen people, you can decide how much to serve."

The receptionist smiled and called inside, "Uncle Guo, it's Captain Ma, eighteen servings, hurry up!"

A moment later, a dish came from the window: "Come and get your food."

Captain Ma waved his hand, and all the drivers stood up.

When Chuxue saw the dishes served, there was stir-fried shredded potatoes, cabbage and tofu, and she also ordered a pork stew with vermicelli and mixed grain rice as the main dish.

Captain Ma looked at everyone and said, "Stop looking around, everyone. Start eating, take a short break, and we still need to make the most of this warm midday weather to travel as much as possible."

Chu Xue looked at the large portion of mixed grain rice in front of her, got up and asked the waiter for an empty bowl. After leaving enough for herself, she said, "I can't eat this much. If any of you don't have enough, you can share it."

Captain Ma laughed and, without standing on ceremony, gestured with his chin: "Whoever doesn't have enough can take it and distribute it later."

I must say, this pork stew with glass noodles is really good. The pork belly is stewed until it's fatty but not greasy, and the glass noodles are soaked in the meaty aroma. It's very appetizing.

After lunch, everyone rested for a while before setting off again.

After another bumpy journey, they arrived in Zhangjiakou in the evening. Perhaps to take care of her, as she was new to this route, Captain Ma ordered her some local specialty oat noodles.

I had certainly eaten these in my previous life, but when the mutton soup was served, I don't know if it was because of the long journey, but the aroma almost made me dizzy. The deliciousness of the mutton blended into the oat noodles, making it unforgettable.

We also ordered a side of smoked meat, which was fragrant and flavorful, with lean meat that wasn't tough and fatty meat that wasn't greasy. This risotto was a very satisfying meal.

Seeing that the women had stopped eating after the first snowfall, the men began to eat heartily, finishing their plates and bowls in no time.

Someone joked, "That's the good thing about having female colleagues accompany you on business trips."

Everyone laughed. Sister Jiang, worried that Chuxue hadn't understood, leaned close to her ear and said, "Women have smaller appetites, so the leftovers can be used to subsidize them."

The guesthouse where they stayed that night was clearly their usual place, but even there someone had to keep watch.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with those female comrades; they are matters for the transportation team and the security department.

The three women booked a triple room. After a bumpy ride, they quickly washed up and went to bed. They hadn't even chatted for long before they all fell asleep.

The second departure wasn't too early; we waited until sunrise before setting off. We continued north from Zhangjiakou, and after arriving in Xinghe County, Ulanqab League, Inner Mongolia at noon, we had lunch but didn't rush to leave.

Sister Jiang and Sister Huang, along with a colleague from the security department, went out for a walk.

When they returned, Captain Ma looked at them and asked, "Have you reached an agreement?"

Sister Huang nodded: "They've been waiting for a while now. They said they'd just go and load the goods when our convoy comes back."

Chu Xue didn't understand, so after getting in the car she asked, "Sister Jiang, where did you go?"

There's nothing wrong with saying this, so Sister Jiang said, "The potato production here is very large, and the factory buys from here several times a year."

Having traveled together for two days, Xu Chengkun noticed that Chu Xue wasn't the delicate type, and his impression of her improved considerably. They then started talking about the situation in Inner Mongolia, which brought them closer together.

The journey there went relatively smoothly, and the convoy arrived in Linhot City, Xilingol League on the evening of the third day.
