Chen Miao sighed helplessly, "I can eat it if you can. In fact, there is really no need to be so bitter."
Jiang Hongxi said expressionlessly, "Chen Miao, you don't know that when we go without food for two or three days on the battlefield, we can eat even grass, let alone bran."
"Okay, I will definitely go to Russia again. All of us here will work hard to prepare food for the soldiers fighting on the battlefield."
She wanted to work, but was rejected by Luo Bingyuan. Seeing that she had lost weight again, how could they, a group of grown men, let a woman work?
Chen Miao was fine, so she remembered to prepare cotton-padded clothes for them and pushed the cart out.
The price of cotton here is similar to that in my hometown. I bought cotton, cloth, and a piece of meat.
When they entered the door, there were five kilograms of extra meat and ten kilograms of fat in the basket. This was meat from the previous life, to improve their lives.
Luo Bingyuan, who was working in the yard, was moved when he saw the cotton and cloth in the car. In fact, they didn't have quilts yet.
Chen Miao put down her things and started preparing lunch. It was better to refine the oil first, as it was not too late today.
"I'm going to work."
"Should I deliver the food or should I come back to eat? Otherwise, I'll deliver it."
Luo Bingyuan shook his head, "We won't eat at noon and will come back to eat in the evening."
"Can it be done?"
"Don't worry, there will be no problem. At least I eat two meals a day now."
Chen Miao sighed, it was really pitiful.
Luo Bingyuan left and Xiao Tongran came over, "It smells pretty good."
"They are too harsh on themselves. Their health is not good. Let these heroes improve."
Xiao Tongran didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at the potatoes on the ground and asked, "What delicious food can you make for me?"
"I can't bear to eat oil now."
"It's okay, I'll pump out the oil."
"I can't bear to give you the oil. In fact, it's just steaming the potatoes, crushing them, adding some flour, and forming them into balls, then cutting them into strips and frying them.
It’s better not to eat it, I feel a little guilty.”
Xiao Tongran was amused, "Then you will eat the same food as them in the future?"
Chen Miao nodded, "Yes, it's the same. But it won't be long before I have to go to Russia."
"It's not necessary. Ivan can go there. There's Lao Zhang over there."
Chen Miao glanced at Xiao Tongran and asked, "Are there any changes over there?"
"It can't be said to be a change. It's just that the two oligarchs over there are opposed to selling grain to us. Although it has just been proposed, the farmers below cannot hold on."
"Then wouldn't Ivan and Lao Zhang be in danger too?"
"They have their own ways, don't worry about that."
"We still have to farm our own land."
Xiao Tongran nodded, "Indeed, don't worry, Ivan has already got the same five machines. Although he said that he will be strict in the future, these should be enough. Even if it is not enough, I am also looking for someone to study it. I don't think there is anything too profound.
.”
Chen Miao smiled, "Mr. Xiao is really foresight, what about diesel?"
"We have brought in several thousand kilograms, but it is definitely not enough. We have to find a way to do this later. Storing too much is not good and is too dangerous."
"Indeed. I must show off my talents next year."
"Don't worry, just find someone to work for you."
Chen Miao had already started filling the jar with oil. Xiao Tongran looked at the time and said, "Shall we go to my place for dinner? Luo Bingyuan and the others won't eat at noon."
"If I don't go, I still have to make cotton-padded clothes for them."
"They don't have quilts yet."
Chen Miao stopped what she was doing, feeling sour in her heart. "I know, I will seize the time.
Mr. Xiao, please help me organize the food matter."
"Okay, don't worry, I won't make any money, and I will also donate some food."
Seeing that Chen Miao would not leave with him, Xiao Tongran went back by himself.
After refining the oil, the aged seedlings stewed meat are all fat. Since you want to satisfy their craving, you should make it fatter.
I spent the entire afternoon making cotton-padded clothes at home. Everything I made was normal. They wouldn’t make less just because they were missing arms or legs. And they were all made of thick cotton-padded clothes.
There are also wolf skins and rabbit skins in the space, but there aren't that many of them, so I can only make one for myself.
I don't feel wronged in this regard. My health is not as good as theirs, but I can't get sick.
A cotton-padded coat will definitely not survive the winter, so each person will wear a military coat.
Dinner is cornmeal mixed with bran steamed steamed buns, with dried eggplant and beans stewed underneath, and a few potatoes also put in it. This is a pot for stewing meat. The smell of stewed dried vegetables in broth is really fragrant.
It was almost eight o'clock before Luo Bingyuan and the others came back. They could grind more than a thousand kilograms of grain in one day, which was really hard work for them.
“It smells so good.”
Everyone knew that today's food would be good, but they didn't expect it to be so good.
Chen Miao was afraid that they would be reluctant to eat the meat, so she asked Luo Bingyuan to give each of them a spoon.
"Why don't you eat?"
"I have no appetite, you eat."
"Eat as much as you can."
Chen Miao forced herself to eat half a steamed bun and a spoonful of vegetables. She really didn't want to take a bite of the meat.
I didn't go to work. I was already very tired from the work at home. When I lay down at night, I had a dreamless night.
In the next few days, she made cotton-padded clothes at home. In one week, she made twenty cotton-padded clothes. She went to the cloth shop again and came back to make cotton-padded coats.
So it was the end of September. Thin cotton-padded clothes were bought ready-made, that is, two cotton-padded clothes for one person and a military coat.
Cotton hats, cotton shoes and coats are all bought ready-made.
All twenty people were very moved. They had never worn such good clothes in their lives.
Even though I was a little worried about the weather here at first, the weather has calmed down.
Ivan came back, and this time he brought back a threshing machine. Chen Miao liked this machine.
Today I am here with Xiao Tongran to settle accounts.
"Do you want it to be so clear?"
"Mr. Xiao, the accounts must be clear, and the amount should be paid."
After calculating everything, the three of them discussed the matter of food.
"Ms. Chen, if you buy it now, the price will definitely be right, but you also know that the food is not very dry."
Chen Miao frowned, "Indeed."
"Why don't you go over and take a look?"
Chen Miao smiled bitterly and put her hand on her belly. "I may be pregnant and don't want to go out and take risks."
Both of them stared at her in surprise at her words.
She also didn't want to talk about her personal affairs. She had been depressed these past few days. Was she prone to pregnancy? She had two children on her wedding night. It was just once at the end of July, so why did she get pregnant again?
"Well, I think there is so much food in the warehouse now, even if we wait until next spring to purchase it, it will be the same."
Chen Miao shook his head, "Mr. Xiao, do you still have a warehouse here for me to use? Even if it's just one carriage, I have to go in. I'm afraid something will happen suddenly."
"If you think so, then get in the same carriage."
"Ivan, I've given you all the trouble."
"No problem, I can still make money."
Chen Miao went home and brought the money over, which made Xiao Tongran very nervous. This was the first time that a woman around him was pregnant.
