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

Chapter 878 What are you thinking about?
This is the delivery point for the transport team. Since it was already evening when they arrived, there was no need to rush to split into two groups. It was agreed that the goods would be unloaded tonight, and after settling accounts with the finance department tomorrow, they would go to purchase beef and mutton together.

People in pastoral areas are quite tough, and having more people can save a lot of trouble.

The journey there was smooth and without delay, which gave them ample time.

Once the convoy arrives at the designated warehouse, after verifying the type and quantity of the goods, two people are left to oversee the unloading.

Captain Ma then led the rest of the team to the factory's guesthouse: "Go and wash up and get ready. Once the goods have been unloaded, I'll take you to eat some authentic Inner Mongolian snacks."

Like Duan Ruirui, Sister Huang from the purchasing department is a foodie. Her eyes light up when Inner Mongolian cuisine is mentioned, and she says, "Let me tell you, the steamed buns and mutton buns here are really delicious. They have thin skins and generous fillings, and taste amazing."

There's also sheep's blood stuffed into small intestines, cooked, sliced, and dipped in sauce—it has a unique flavor. We can have the horse team order some for us later; you can try it.”

After a long and tiring journey, we finally arrived at our destination. The accommodations here were surprisingly large kang beds, but they were kept very clean.

The three of them asked for one room; there were probably enough beds for five people to live on that kang (heated brick bed).

When they came out, they found out that the men had only booked two rooms, and the thirteen of them were divided into two rooms, with everyone sleeping on a large communal bed.

Xu Chengkun, who was following behind Captain Ma, said, "Anyway, it's winter, so it'll be warmer if we all huddle together."

As they were talking, the person who had been watching the unloading returned and handed the form directly to Chuxue: "Accountant Xiao, keep this form. We'll go to the finance department to collect the money first thing tomorrow morning."

Previously, all payments were directly transferred to the factory, but this time they need to purchase a large quantity of beef and mutton, so the payments have been converted to cash withdrawals. This was communicated with them beforehand, and to ensure safety, a security guard was specially sent to accompany them.

Chu Xue took the list and put it into the notebook in her crossbody bag. Actually, she had already put the notebook back into her spatial storage when she put it back in the crossbody bag; there was nowhere safer than her spatial storage. In everyone's eyes, with so many people guarding it, it was safer than putting it back in the guesthouse room.

After finding a place to eat, they not only ordered the blood sausage and mutton buns that Huang Lirong had mentioned, but also hand-pulled mutton. Because it was too cold, Captain Ma also specially ordered milk tea.

Sister Jiang doesn't really like milk tea, but she's fine with the first snow.

Thinking back to my past life, when I took annual leave with my colleagues, we went to the Xilin Gol Grassland together and experienced the nomadic life on the grassland. Under the vast grassland and the blue sky, we enjoyed the vastness and freedom of nature. My thoughts drifted away.

After the hand-pulled mutton was served, Sister Jiang noticed that she was lost in thought, so she nudged her with her elbow and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Chu Xue smiled faintly, "It's a pity we came in winter. This white whirlwind can freeze a person to death. If we came in summer, we could experience galloping on horseback."

Captain Ma chimed in, "That's hard to say. We can just find an opportunity to come back in the summer. It's not that difficult to make such a wish."

Chu Xue swallowed the mutton in her mouth: "If it weren't for the need to purchase beef and mutton this time, I'm afraid we wouldn't have had this opportunity."

After all, these long-term clients mostly conduct business-to-business transfers. Only when there are major accounting discrepancies or complex cross-regional transactions will an accountant be arranged to travel to the office to conduct face-to-face accounting.

If it weren't for the fact that their purchase volume was too large this time, and they might have to deal directly with the herders, which would have meant they couldn't make bank transfers and had to settle in cash, that's why she needed to come along.

After spending the last few days together, they realized that Accountant Xiao was a hard worker. She never complained about sitting in the car for such a long time every day. So, everyone got along quite well and naturally regarded her as one of their own. They offered her advice all at once, and bursts of laughter would break out from time to time.
