Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Chapter 691 Calculation
After Tang Wanqing finished checking the mountain of supplies piled up in the space warehouse, she already knew the departure time and turned to enter the villa.

In the villa's kitchen, Er Ya was still busy, removing the outer packaging from the anti-inflammatory medicine she had just taken out of the refrigerator.

Then he went down to the frozen section and took out braised beef and roast chicken, putting them into the burlap sack next to him.

Er Ya was so focused on her work that she didn't even notice Tang Wan coming in.

Tang Wan spoke first: "Er Ya, let's take the things here for today, organize them and put them in the warehouse. We have important things to do."

"Yes, Master!" Er Ya immediately quickened her pace.

Tang Wan turned and went up to the study on the second floor. She quickly came down with the detailed map of the northern desert that the War King needed.

She spread it out on the large coffee table in the living room, her fingertips tracing several main trade routes marked with passes and supply points, finally placing it steadily on the path leading to the southern desert.

The journey was long and fraught with checkpoints, making the transport of such a massive amount of supplies no easy task.

After Er Ya finished tidying up, she walked into the living room. Tang Wan looked up and saw her, and said directly, "With so much stuff, we can't manage on our own. We need to find someone to escort it." She needed a large-scale, powerful, and reliable escort agency and caravan.

Tang Wan took out a piece of paper and a pen and began to calculate:
Grains: flour, millet, and rice will require approximately six large carts.

Cured meats: The finished cured chicken, duck, goose, rabbit, and pork that are about to be finished will require about four large trucks.

Medicinal materials: Anti-inflammatory drugs will require approximately two large truckloads.

Other food items: beef jerky, ham sausage, braised chicken, braised beef, and canned goods; these require three large carts.

In total: at least fifteen sturdy wagons with rain shelters are needed! This doesn't even include the grain and space resources to be harvested next.

This is quite a large scale.

Tang Wan immediately told Er Ya, "Go and find the largest, most reputable escort agency and carriage company in the prefecture that frequently travels the northern border route. Tell them I have a large quantity of high-value goods to transport south, requiring at least eighteen top-quality covered carriages, equipped with the strongest bodyguards and the most reliable drivers. Price is not an issue, but safety and punctuality must be guaranteed! Have their manager bring a quote and a plan to see me as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Master! I'll go do it right away!" Er Ya quickly replied and was about to leave the space.

At this moment, Tang Wan suddenly remembered that Boss Wan seemed to own a car dealership, so she called out to Er Ya, "Go find Boss Wan first and see if he can take this job. If he can't, ask him if he knows any reliable escort agencies or car dealerships."

Er Ya had no objections to Tang Wan's words, so she slipped out of the space to find Boss Wan.

The villa fell silent again.

Tang Wan didn't wait and turned to go to the workshop.

She had noted the types and quantities of cosmetics she needed during her last visit to the rouge shop, but hadn't had time to make them until now. Taking advantage of the free time, she decided to get started.

She took out several clean, wide-mouthed glass jars and first distilled and purified the flower petals. After purification, Tang Wan first applied skin care lotion.

She mixed ordinary purified water and rose hydrosol in a certain ratio, added a small amount of spring water, and finally added some chamomile essential oil with a soothing and calming effect.

Next, she mixed lotion and face cream. Tang Wan also made some hand cream and body lotion that she had newly developed before her last visit to the Zheng family.

Soon, rows of crystal-clear toner bottles, delicate white lotion jars, and rich, moisturizing white jade face cream boxes were placed on the workbench.

The fragrance of natural essential oils and the refreshing aroma of plant extracts filled the workshop.

Tang Wan carefully checked the seal and condition of each bottle to ensure it was perfect.

Time flies when you're focused. When Er Ya reappeared in the space, Tang Wan had just closed the lids on the last batch of face cream boxes.

“Master,” Er Ya said, walking quickly into the workshop with a relaxed expression after completing her task. “Boss Wan said that we can use their car dealership. Their car dealership is one of the best in the prefecture. However, for such a large amount of supplies, it is indeed better to use a security escort agency for safety reasons. The head of the largest security escort agency in the prefecture, ‘Weiyuan Security Escort Agency,’ is familiar with Boss Wan. Boss Wan said he can negotiate with them.”

"Well done." Tang Wan nodded in satisfaction. "Then we'll wait for Boss Wan's news."

Looking at the dazzling array of finished cosmetics on the workbench, she felt another task accomplished. "Put these newly made cosmetics in a basket," she said, pointing to the bottles and jars.

Er Ya agreed and prepared to pack.

Tang Wan continued, "After we finish packing these, you and I will spend another hour on skincare products, then we'll go to the cosmetics shop to deliver these goods, and then we'll go home together."

As Er Ya responded, she quickly sorted and packed the newly made cosmetics into bamboo baskets lined with soft cotton cloth.

Tang Wan continued working at her workbench. After Er Ya finished tidying up the finished cosmetics, she assisted Tang Wan in preparing another batch of hand cream and body lotion to ensure that the cosmetics shop had sufficient supplies.

An hour later, the two left the space carrying several large baskets of newly made cosmetics and headed straight for their own rouge shop.

The group waited for Zhuxi and the others to finish their work so they could go home together.

It was already dusk when I got home.

Tang Wan had just sat down and taken a sip of tea when the communication bell she kept close to her body vibrated regularly and gently—it was Boss Wan.

Tang Wan answered the call immediately.

“Master,” came Boss Wan’s cheerful voice, with the sounds of a carriage shop seemingly echoing in the background, “I have taken care of everything you asked Miss Er Ya to do!”

"Boss Wan is very efficient, thank you for your hard work," Tang Wan said with a smile.

"It's not hard work, it's what I should do," Boss Wan said with a smile. "Don't worry about the carriage company. I have eighteen top-quality carriages with rain shelters. My own company can provide them. The carriages are all in excellent condition, and the drivers are all experienced veterans of the Southern Desert route. They know the checkpoints and post stations there like the back of their hand. It's reliable!"

He paused, his tone becoming more serious: "As for the escort agency, I personally went to the Weiyuan Escort Agency to speak with Chief Escort Zhou. Chief Escort Zhou and I have a long-standing relationship, and he agreed without hesitation. He promised to personally lead the team, select the best escorts, and complete this escort mission at the highest standard. As for the price," Boss Wan quoted a rather realistic figure, "Chief Escort Zhou also gave me a reasonable price, saying it was just to make friends and that he trusted my guarantee. Do you think this arrangement is feasible?"

Tang Wan felt reassured; Boss Wan was indeed reliable, saving her a lot of trouble. "That's excellent! Boss Wan and Chief Escort Zhou have both gone to great lengths, and the price is very fair. I'll entrust this escort mission entirely to you two."

"You're too kind, Master! It's my duty," Boss Wan replied. "Then what time would be convenient for you tomorrow? Chief Escort Zhou and I will bring the detailed route plan and the roster of carriages, horses, and escorts. Let's meet and finalize all the details?"
