Early the next morning, Qiao Mu had a hasty breakfast and prepared to return to the city. Before leaving, many soldiers asked him to thank the eldest lady on his behalf.
When Qiao Mu returned to the General's Mansion, he went directly to Qiushi Courtyard.
In the main room, Shen Wan and Qiu Ju were making fur slippers. Ling'er sat on the couch and looked at it with her face in her hands. Wuyi, who was not afraid of the cold, used scissors to cut off the soles of her shoes. She was a swordsman. Her hands were actually holding scissors to cut the soles of her shoes. If anyone who knew her knew about it, they would definitely laugh at her to death.
Because it was snowing now, they didn't go out much and always stayed on the couch. It was really troublesome to put on and take off these shoes and socks, so Shen Wan thought of wearing warm wool slippers.
The courtyard door was open. After Qiao Mu entered the courtyard, he walked directly towards the main house, walked to the door and knocked on the door.
"Knock knock..."
"Who is it?" Qiu Ju asked.
Hearing Qiu Ju's voice, Qiao Mu smiled and replied, "It's me, Qiao Mu."
Is it Brother Qiao Mu? Qiu Ju's eyes lit up, but remembering what she did yesterday, she blushed and lowered her head.
Shen Wan noticed Qiu Ju's reaction and raised her eyebrows, something happened!
"come in!"
Qiao Mu opened the door, and a burst of cold air entered the room. Shen Wan, who was afraid of the cold, couldn't help but shrink her neck.
After entering the house, Qiao Mu closed the door, walked a few steps inside, bowed to Shen Wan, and glanced at Qiu Ju, who was making fur slippers with her head down.
Qiu Ju realized that Qiao Mu was looking at her, and her face turned redder.
"Madam, I have sent the frostbite ointment to all the soldiers in the camp. The brothers in the camp asked me to thank you on their behalf." Qiao Mu said and gave Shen Wan a big salute.
"Is it enough?" Shen Wan looked at Qiao Mu and asked.
Qiao Mu replied: "It's still a little worse."
"How much difference?" Shen Wan asked.
"About two to three thousand boxes."
Shen Wan thought for a while and said to Qiu Ju: "Go get another thousand taels of silver."
"Okay." Qiu Ju put the half-made wool slippers in her hands and went into the inner room to get the silver.
Qiao Mu hurriedly waved his hands and said, "You don't need that much, three hundred taels of silver is enough."
Shen Wan's eyes widened. Is this frostbite ointment so cheap? Three hundred taels of silver can buy two to three thousand boxes.
She still said to Qiu Ju: "Take a thousand taels." After saying that, she looked at Qiao Mu and said: "If there are more, you can buy more to prepare. Otherwise, buy some food for the soldiers to improve their food. "In this cold weather, only by eating well and having oil and water in your stomach can you withstand the severe cold."
Qiao Mu was very moved and bowed her hands to Shen Wan very solemnly.
"Qiao Mu thanked the madam on behalf of the soldiers."
Shen Wan smiled and said, "You have thanked me many times."
Qiu Ju went to the inner room and took out ten more 100-tael silver notes. When she handed them to Qiao Mu, she lowered her head and did not dare to look into Qiao Mu's eyes.
Qiao Mu took the money, thanked him again, and hurried out of Qiushi Courtyard, taking a dozen brothers with him out of the house.
He first went to the pharmacy and bought 400 taels of chilblain ointment. The remaining 600 taels were used to buy 20 taels of fat meat per catty. The six hundred taels bought a full 30,000 catties. Some bosses saw that he bought more. , not only built some bones and water, but also helped deliver them.
Then, the people in the imperial city saw a spectacle. More than twenty ox carts, pulling loads of meat, left the city in a mighty manner.
When we arrived at the gate of the camp, the people guarding the gate were stunned when they saw so much meat. Even Lu Yan forgot to open it.
Zhang San and the others looked at the stunned soldiers and laughed and said: "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you call someone to bring the meat? Madam sympathizes with the soldiers and bought meat for us to improve our food!"
There are regulations in the military camp that outsiders are not allowed to enter the military camp, so the meat can only be moved in by the soldiers.
They reacted and left two at Laluyan, while the others were sent to have their meat moved.
In this camp, they only eat meat once every ten days. The meat is divided into bowls, just two or three thin slices, just to taste the meat. In summer and autumn, they can also go to the mountains to hunt some game for tooth festivals. . But now, the mountains are blocked by heavy snow and they cannot enter the mountains. They have not been able to eat real meat for a long time.
