Chapter 311: Your Boyfriend Must Be a Star, Right?

Inside the appliance store in town.

Bai Wei was picking out appliances; she needed to buy some to put in the Warehouse.

She bought ten large freezers separately to use for freezing food.

The place Xiao Moting was going to this time was the Yannan region.

The climate there was very hot and also arid.

Bai Wei thought that if she bought a few large freezers, she could store frozen food and even popsicles in them when the time came.

Whenever she wanted to eat one on the road, she could just take a popsicle out of her space to cool off and relieve the heat.

The rest of the food would be placed in the cold storage on the first floor.

Upon hearing that Bai Wei wanted to buy large freezers, the sales clerk hurriedly and enthusiastically introduced them.

"This Star freezer of ours has a maximum capacity of nearly eight hundred liters; it can hold as much as you have."

"It has a defrosting function and can also inhibit bacteria..."

"And the price is cheap too; after the discount, it's less than three thousand."

Bai Wei nodded in satisfaction, "I'll take this model, I'll buy ten."

This freezer model was an old brand, and she wanted to support domestic products.

The sales clerk was stunned, then immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly called a colleague to go arrange the stock.

Just as Bai Wei was waiting for the store to arrange the stock, she received the Tablet Computer sent over by Xiao Moting.

"Huh, what message is he sending me again?"

Bai Wei opened the Tablet Computer and saw Xiao Moting's photo at a glance.

On the screen, Xiao Moting was wearing a black battle robe with red patterns, his ink-colored long hair tied into a ponytail; he was extraordinarily handsome!

Xiao Lujing stood beside him, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes.

Bai Wei took one look, and her heartbeat couldn't help but quicken.

Not to mention!

Xiao Moting looked extremely handsome in this battle robe, much better looking than the male leads in modern historical dramas!

Those historical male leads on TV were all played by "little fresh meats"; although their looks were passable, they had never led troops after all, so their aura simply didn't come through.

But the Xiao Moting on the screen had sharp eyes, and his whole body exuded a subtle sense of oppression; he was completely cold and domineering!

Just then, a voice came from beside her ear.

"Which historical drama star is this? So handsome."

"My boyfriend..." Bai Wei said it off the cuff.

Suddenly, she came to her senses and hurriedly looked up.

Two sales clerks were standing to the side, looking at the Tablet with curiosity.

One of the sales clerks exclaimed in surprise, "Your boyfriend is a star? That's amazing!"

Bai Wei smiled, "He's not a star, this is just his photo."

"He's this handsome even though he's not a star?" The sales clerk was extremely envious, "He's tall and handsome; if your boyfriend went to film a TV series, he would definitely become an overnight sensation."

Bai Wei smiled without answering.

Xiao Moting was a prince, after all, with a noble status, and he would be the master of the world in the future; he wouldn't go film TV series.

At this moment, the sales clerk who went to arrange the stock also hurried back, her face flushed with joy.

"There happened to be ten freezers in the Warehouse, and I've arranged them all for you."

"In a while, the store will send a vehicle to deliver them to your home."

Bai Wei nodded politely, "Okay, thank you."

After buying the freezers, Bai Wei put away the Tablet Computer and headed straight for the restaurant street in the city center.

She walked straight into the seafood restaurant and came to the front desk.

"I want to order a few tables' worth of food and drinks, all packed to go."

The manager hurried over, recognized her at a glance, and immediately beamed.

"President Bai, you've come to order food again; I'll bring the latest menu right away."

"Please wait a moment, it will be here immediately."

After saying this, he turned around to go get the menu himself.

Bai Wei walked to the side and sat down.

At this restaurant, she had previously booked a large amount of food and drinks to send to the Northern Frontier Army for their victory celebration.

When she left, the restaurant had given her a VIP card, saying she could get a ten percent discount next time.

The manager came over with the menu and respectfully held it up with both hands.

"President Bai, the dishes are all on here."

Bai Wei took the menu and checked them off one by one.

"Buddha Jumps Over the Wall with six sea cucumbers and six abalones, seafood medley pot, garlic scallops, seafood hot pot... I want ten portions of each dish, all packed and refrigerated."

She ordered dishes that could be refrigerated or frozen, making it convenient to take them out and eat them on the road after going to Daliang.

There were many other good dishes on the menu, such as abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin, and fish maw, but it was a pity that those dishes could only be eaten fresh; if they were cooked, packed, and frozen, then taken out to thaw and eat, they wouldn't taste the same.

Bai Wei also wanted to eat mantis shrimp and large crabs, but after these seafood items were frozen, their flavor would drop by twenty percent.

She thought about it and decided to endure the pain and not order them, only ordering dishes that wouldn't change much in flavor after being frozen.

If she wanted to eat fresh food, she would just have to satisfy her cravings after she returned from Daliang.

After buying the seafood, Bai Wei walked out of the hotel and came to the Chinese restaurant next door.

"Braised pork belly, soy-braised pork knuckle, hand-grabbed lamb chops..."

She followed the same method, ordering over a hundred dishes in one go, ten portions of each, all requested to be packed and sealed tightly.

She intended to put these dishes into the cold storage room.

Supplies in Daliang were not as abundant as in the modern world; although the food she ate with Xiao Moting was not bad—grilled fish, roasted lamb, home-style snacks, and the like were all quite delicious—the variety and flavors were ultimately inferior to those of the modern world.

This time, when she went to Daliang, she would be venturing deep into Yannan City, and she did not know how long it would be before she could return.

Therefore, she had to prepare more dishes so she could take them out to eat once she arrived in Daliang.

The packed dishes were all placed in the zero-degree cold storage room; they could be eaten after being taken out and heated.

Although the taste of refrigerated and reheated dishes was not as good as those fresh out of the pot, compared to the monotonous food in ancient Daliang, they could be called delicacies.

After Bai Wei finished buying the dishes, she rushed to a fruit shop and bought a large quantity of fruit.

Fruit was too scarce in Daliang, and the varieties were not as rich as in the modern world; even mangoes were Tribute Fruit that only the old emperor could eat.

Therefore, since she would be staying in Yannan for at least half a month this time, it would be too agonizing if she couldn't eat fruit, and she wouldn't be able to replenish her vitamins.

Bai Wei went on a crazy shopping spree in the fruit shop.

Fresh 4J cherries, large blueberries, golden crisp apples, creamy white strawberries, Monthong durians...

She ordered twenty boxes of every variety.

In any case, the cold storage on the first floor was large, so she could put them in and take them out whenever she wanted.

After buying the fruit, Bai Wei lifted her foot and headed to the furniture store across the street.

The last time she went to Daliang, the tent she slept in had the best conditions, yet she still woke up with a sore back.

No matter how good ancient bedding was, how could it compare to the modern kind?

This time, returning to Daliang, she would have to endure a long journey.

Xiao Moting and his group were disguising themselves as cloth merchants to go to Yannan City; they could not drive a Minivan and would have to travel by carriage.

Moreover, the roads in Beijiang were only paved up to Shiya City, and the way to Yannan City was entirely filled with bumpy Post Roads—to put it bluntly, they were like the dirt country roads of the fifties and sixties; they would have to stay wherever they could reach, and if they couldn't find an inn, they might even have to camp out.

Bai Wei did not want to sleep in the open, and she had a deep understanding of ancient inns from the one time she had stayed in one.

Ancient inns were not as hygienic as modern hotels, and since there were no washing machines in ancient times, the sheets and quilts in the rooms were never washed as long as they weren't too dirty; one guest would stay the night, leave the next day, and the next guest would move right in, with the staff doing little more than dusting them off!

Fortunately, the last time she stayed at an inn, Xiao Moting had already ordered people to replace all the sheets and quilt covers with new ones; otherwise, she would not have been able to sleep there no matter what.
