Niu Jinda suddenly remembered that his son Niu Weituo greeted him a few days ago.
Following General Chai's military order, I'm afraid it will take about ten days to return home.
I approached Chai Shao and inquired, and it turned out that his son was the person in charge of testing the new military rations this time.
"Thank you, General Chai, for supporting Quan Zi." Niu Jinda saluted Chai Shao and said gratefully.
"It doesn't have to be like this. The wise nephew of Wei Tuo is cautious and attentive in his work. He is strict in running the army and is strict with himself. He has the style of a general.
This important task is perfect for him..."
When Chai Shao said this, he couldn't help but raise his lips.
Besides, nephew Wei Tuo is a good brother of Cheng Sanlang, so he entrusts this important task to nephew Wei Tuo.
Niu Weituo will definitely do his best to complete this task.
And the news that Cheng Sanlang actually came up with compressed dry food that was both light and filling quickly spread throughout the military circle.
Everyone couldn't contain their excitement and talked in low voices. After all, they were all veterans.
Everyone knows that fighting a war is all about logistics. If logistics is not good, no matter how brave the soldiers are, it will be useless.
Only when they are full and well fed can soldiers have enough strength to march and fight.
While he was talking, His Majesty Li Shimin, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, finally entered the main hall, and all the important officials of the imperial court took their seats one after another.
The moment Li Shimin entered the hall, he had already taken off his thick fur coat and quickly came to the imperial case.
Li Shimin felt extra at ease without the hand stove that was specially used to warm hands.
Standing there with satisfaction, he waited until all the officials had finished saluting, and with Li Shimin's powerful voice, a new day of work officially began.
#####
The court meeting lasted for almost two hours, and during these two hours, Li Shimin was sweating profusely and spending the day like a year.
He didn't expect that the iron stove would be so hot, and he didn't know if it was because the two Zhenguan stoves were too close to him.
Li Shimin felt that he was about to sweat down his cheeks. It was not until the eunuch asked the eunuch to suppress the fire of the two stoves that he felt better.
Although the courtiers all felt very warm, it was because of the high temperature that the court officials frequently signaled the eunuchs to serve tea.
There are also some elderly ministers who got up too early and it was too warm right now, so they actually started to doze off...
But this is much better than the old days when ministers and ministers held court meetings one by one, with their mouths trembling and their noses feeling like they were about to flow out at any time.
At this moment, in the Li Zheng Hall, Empress Changsun was wearing only a thin dress with a happy face, leaning comfortably on the couch, admiring a book.
Next to her, Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang also wore few clothes. She sat obediently and practiced calligraphy seriously.
From time to time, he would turn to look at his nephew Li Xiang, who was sleeping soundly in the crib in front of him.
Seeing Li Xiang's mouth move, Li Mingda hurried to his mother's side as if he had discovered a new world.
Then he leaned into the ear of his mother's eldest grandson, the Queen, and whispered.
"Mom, my little nephew was talking a lot just now. Are he hungry?"
Empress Changsun looked at this extremely energetic girl, shook her head in confusion, and answered in the same soft voice.
"Your nephew just drank milk, he is not hungry."
Li Mingda couldn't help but look back at the small bed with some disappointment.
"Oh... okay, mother, I'm going to practice calligraphy. I'll report to mother later if my nephew is in trouble."
"Well, do you want mom to practice with you?"
"No, mother, you must have been exhausted from taking care of my nephew just now. You have a good rest and I will practice hard."
Watching this well-behaved and sensible girl sit down in front of the desk again, she began to practice calligraphy seriously.
Empress Changsun showed a doting and gentle smile, then lay back and yawned lazily.
With this Zhenguan stove, it is so comfortable, but it makes people fall asleep easily...
Wu Meiniang, who had just returned from the Imperial Medical Office after school, said goodbye to her companions, wrapped her cloak tightly around her body, and walked quickly towards her room.
Pushing open the door, a wave of warmth hit my face, and I looked at the kettle with hot water on the small iron stove in the room.
Wu Meiniang's eyes lit up, she quickly came to the stove and poured the boiled water into the basin.
After washing my face with hot water, I finally felt more comfortable, so I poured myself a bowl of hot water.
He came to the bedside and opened the box. There were two oil paper packages inside. These were compressed dry food and a package of meat floss that Cheng Sanlang personally sent to him at the Imperial Medical Office.
It is said that this stuff is very resistant to hunger and tastes pretty good.
When he thought of that day, when Cheng Sanlang brought it to him, his eyes looked up and down at him.
He also repeatedly told me to eat more and gain weight.
Wu Meiniang couldn't help but blush, and then she took out a small plate of meat floss and a small piece of compressed dry food.
I sat in front of the warm little iron stove, sipping hot water and enjoying a hearty snack.
The day before yesterday, Cheng Chubi and Li Ke jumped into the palace again, using the pretext that they presented the Zhenguan furnace to the Crown Princess.
But considering that the Queen is the mother of the country, the female officials around her must also be working very hard.
Therefore, a dozen exquisite Zhenguan stoves were specially donated to the Queen.
How could the extremely shrewd Queen not understand what this boy Cheng Sanlang was planning.
However, she still accepted it graciously and rewarded it on the spot to the female officials around her, and Wu Meiniang naturally received one as well.
Wu Meiniang couldn't help but smile sweetly when she thought of everything Cheng Sanlang had done for her.
I took a small bite of a piece of compressed dry food. It had a rich milk aroma and shredded meat, and the taste was very fragrant.
After just a few bites, Wu Meiniang suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Sister Mei Niang, are you there?"
Wu Meiniang shook her head helplessly, put down the compressed dry food in her hand, stood up and opened the door.
Then I saw two familiar companions squeezing in with flattering smiles on their faces.
"Sister Mei Niang, my house is too cold, I want to come to your place to have a barbecue..."
"Come in quickly. By the way, do you want anything to eat?"
"Wow... Sister Mei Niang, isn't this also a gift from Cheng Taichang? It smells delicious."
Facing the compliments of these two companions, the smile on Wu Meiniang's face couldn't help but become a little more charming.
Three young girls of the right age sat in Wu Meiniang's warm spring-like little house, holding cakes and talking excitedly about today's interesting events.

Xue Wanche stood up calmly, thought for a while, and nodded slightly towards the female Huang Guan who was packing up and preparing to leave.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Seeing this scene, Xue Wanjun, who was taking a nap while leaning on the couch, was so frightened that he shivered and his eyes widened.
Seeing the glare from his second brother, Xue Wanche couldn't help but become a little angry, and said with an anxious look.
"Second brother, what's that expression on your face? The female Taoist Priest is treating the little brother. What's wrong with the little brother thanking others?"
