Chapter 296 Wei Chenghe is back

The seasonings used by the people of Tianqi Country in cooking are very monotonous. Most families basically only have oil and salt. Sausages and bacon are rich in seasonings and have a unique taste. Everyone who has tasted them has praised them. Even though they cost as much as fifty cents per pound, people still flock to buy them. As the saying goes, a master leads you to the door, but the practice depends on the individual. Seeing this situation, Shen Xiangwan no longer paid attention to the pork processing workshop.

As the end of the year approaches, the atmosphere in the army can only be described as tense. According to past practices, the Western Hu people will make a crazy attack at the latest in spring, and they have to be prepared to fight.

"Ma'am, are you looking for us?"

Two tall guards entered the small study one after another. One of them was Lin Wei and the other was Zhao Tian, also a person with spatial ability.

"Come with me."

Looking at them, Shen Xiangwan stood up. Although he didn't know how powerful they were, they looked at each other and followed them.

Shen Xiangwan led them to the entrance of the cellar under the warehouse behind the main house, pointed to the densely packed sealed wine jars inside and said, "These are all alcohol. Send them to the three major camps."

As far as she knew, most soldiers in this era did not die directly on the battlefield, but died from injuries of varying severity or severity. The most common was post-injury infection. Although alcohol could not directly treat the infection, it could minimize the chances of infection among soldiers. It could be said to be an extremely important war reserve. The medical children already had the ability to simply treat wounds, and the alcohol should be sent to the upcoming battlefield.

"yes."

They had long been aware of the importance of alcohol, and without saying a word, they went into the cellar and put the alcohol into the space.

"Madam, the Yue family has sent someone to give you a New Year's gift."

Yuan Yue suddenly came to her side. Shen Xiangwan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Have someone register, send the food to the kitchen, and put the used food into the warehouse."

Not only Yue Ruyan, but also the generals' families who settled in the capital city sent them New Year gifts. Shen Xiangwan was not surprised. Of course, she had asked people to send them New Year gifts a long time ago. It was all a matter of reciprocity. Even if she didn't care, Zhao Yuping would have reminded her long ago.

"yes."

Yuan Yue turned around and went to make arrangements. After Lin Wei and the others filled the space with alcohol, Shen Xiangwan left with them.

"Second sister-in-law."

Seeing Shen Xiangwan from afar, the young man sitting astride a tall horse flew up and landed steadily in front of her. He was none other than Wei Chenghe, who had been away from home for several months.

"Well, I've grown taller, got a tan, and look more energetic. Not bad!"

After taking a quick look at him, Shen Xiangwan smiled sincerely. In just a few months, his figure had obviously grown taller and more muscular, as if he had truly transformed from a big boy into a man.

"hey-hey."

Wei Chenghe felt a little embarrassed by her praise, scratching his head and laughing twice, then he calmed down and bowed seriously: "Second sister-in-law, thank you!"

After the tempering of the military camp, his character has undoubtedly become more resilient, and he can better understand how difficult it was for her to protect them and bring them to Chenzhou safely on her own. If she hadn't been at home these days, he and his second brother would not have been so busy with their own affairs. She is the biggest contributor to their family.

"It seems that our big boy has really grown up."

If she said she wasn't relieved, she would definitely be lying. A bright smile appeared on Shen Xiangwan's face. At the same time, she also saw Yan Junling and Qingying who came back with him. They should have come back to celebrate the New Year, so she didn't find it strange.

"Second sister-in-law."

He was already eighteen years old, but was still called a big boy. Wei Chenghe felt a little embarrassed. Strictly speaking, he was more than a year older than her.

"Okay, go back quickly. Mom should be very happy to see you."

Shaking his head with a smile, Shen Xiangwan pretended to be annoyed and urged him.

"Um."

Nodding vigorously, Wei Chenghe turned around and strode into the house: "Mom, I'm back."

I just praised him for growing up, but now he's yelling like a child again, not showing any composure at all.

"sister in law."

"lady."

Yan Junling and Qingying both walked towards him. The horses they rode back had been led to the backyard by the guards who had appeared.

"Um."

Looking at them separately, Shen Xiangwan asked as he walked, "Why didn't Uncle Yan come back with you?"

"My father said he would not come back and would stay in the army to celebrate the New Year with the soldiers."

Following her into the Wei family's home, Yan Junling said somewhat helplessly that he had finally become a congenital warrior again and stimulated his supernatural powers, so he could continue to lead troops to fight. His father's enthusiasm was very high, as if he had already regarded the military camp as his home. However, he could also understand his approach. Although the current Wei family army is no longer the previous Western Frontier Army, both the quality of the soldiers and the equipment are incomparable, most of them have not been tested in war after all. In addition, they should face the Western Hu people head-on after the spring. It is normal for the old man to be worried.

In fact, it was not just Yan Lang. The generals who came from the eastern border were also worried. They were still training their soldiers intensively until now without any slackness.

"Yeah?"

Shen Xiangwan paused for a moment, then turned around and said, "Qingying, go to the military camp again later and bring all the sausages and bacon from home to the camp. Only when they are well fed and well-watered can they have the strength to fight."

"yes."

Qingying did not refuse and a smile appeared on her face. Thanks to his wife, the food in the military camp is much better now than before. Although there is not meat to eat every day, at least there is rice and vegetables, and there is enough oil and water for cooking.

"Okay, I'm glad you're back."

In the main room, Zhao Yuping was holding her youngest son and looking at him with tears in her eyes, while Wei Ling'er was wiping her tears beside her.

Shen Xiangwan looked at them and had no intention of joining them. She went to the study upstairs with Yan Junling and the others. Not only did they have to deal with the upcoming war, but they also had to pay attention to the movements of the emperor and the court, the peasant uprising that still had no result, and the war in the east. Wei Chengyi's busyness was unimaginable to ordinary people.

"Cheng Yi."

Pushing open the door of the study, Shen Xiangwan walked in with Yan Junling and Qingying.

"Come and sit down."

Looking up at them, Wei Chengyi and Yan Junling nodded, then looked at Shen Xiangwan and patted the chair next to him. After finishing his work, he picked up the freshly sealed letter and handed it to the guard: "Send it out immediately."

"yes."

After taking the letter, Jinwei turned around and nodded to Chen Xiangwan before turning and leaving.

"Are you back?"

After Shen Xiangwan sat down next to him, Wei Chengyi looked at Yan Junling and Qingying. It was he who asked them to come back for the New Year. At present, except for the female members, the Yan family is composed of children who have not grown up. On important days like the New Year, there still needs to be a man to take charge. As for Qingying, although he is the commander of his guards, their relationship is actually closer than that of brothers.
