"The stainless steel thermos keeps things warmer than the copper kettles and earthenware pots we use. If we use it for night watch or patrol, we won't have to worry about not having hot water to drink when we're freezing at night!"

Zheng Hu took the thermos, looked at the instructions on it, and nodded frantically.

"Yes, yes, the coldest nights in Liangcheng can drop to minus twenty degrees Celsius. If you want to drink hot water, you have to go all the way from the south of the city to the east, which is both tiring and time-consuming. This thing can save a lot of trouble."

At this moment, Chen Wan'er waved the hot water bottle.

"Look at this hot water bottle! It's even sturdier than the deerskin water bottle His Highness uses. The book says that if you fill it with boiling water, you can use it to warm your hands and feet."

"Let's give these to the patrolling soldiers, so they won't be cold when they're on night watch!"

Upon hearing this, the group gathered around.

Zheng Hu held the hot water bottle, feeling its incredibly soft and smooth texture, even softer than a woman's skin.

He returned it to Chen Wan'er, embarrassed, his face flushed red.

Chen Wan'er burst into laughter at his joke.

The others joined in the laughter.

General Zheng and his wife haven't seen each other for over a year; he must miss his wife.

Just as the group was laughing, a figure suddenly rushed in from outside the door.

"My God, Your Highness, what are all these?"

When Zheng Hu saw Ling Tianen run in, he quickly blocked his way.

"What are you doing at the General's Mansion in the middle of the night?"

Ling Tianen wasn't angry that his view was blocked; instead, he grinned and pushed him aside.

"I've come to tell Your Highness that the cosmetics and powders you sent to me have already been distributed by my wife to the wives of the various deputy generals."

"For something like this, you really need to make a special trip in the middle of the night? I think you're just here to steal supplies."

"Don't talk about robbing or anything like that. I'm here to help you solve your problems."

"His Highness is here, what worries or difficulties does he need you to resolve?"

Ling Tianen suddenly lifted his belly, pointed to the heat pack on his stomach, and shouted:

"Look, you guys probably don't know how to use this thing, right? I've already figured it out in the back."

Seeing that he had covered his stomach with patches of paper, Qin Yue Zhao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Ling Tianen, please read the instructions carefully. The adhesive side should be placed on the clothing, and the heated side should be close to the skin. Won't you... stick your body hair out like this?"

Do you want to stick the fur off?

Everyone present burst into laughter.

Even Zheng Hu stopped arguing with him and suddenly raised his hand, tearing off the heat pack on his stomach.

Instantly, Ling Tianen let out a heart-wrenching scream.

"Ouch! My fur—"

Zheng Hu was still holding up a hand warmer, laughing gleefully.

"Ling Tianen, Ling Tianen, this is divine punishment for always taking advantage of others, hahaha..."

Just as the group was laughing and joking, another note floated out of the treasure bowl.

"Princess Yue Zhao, there are still thirty tons of grain, twenty barrels of gasoline and diesel to be delivered. Do you have the space?"

Qin Yue Zhao quickly sent a message to Chu Xiao and carried the treasure basin to the outside courtyard.

"God, Yue Zhao is ready."

The news spread almost instantly, and bags of rice and flour in burlap sacks rained down from the sky.

Six hundred bags of rice, each weighing a hundred pounds.

Seeing so much rice, Ling Tianen's mouth watered.

But soon, he discovered the key.

"Something's not right. Why did they only send rice this time? Why are there no flour, vegetables, or meat? Don't the gods usually send many kinds of things? ...Why aren't there even any candy or tonics?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Hu frowned thoughtfully.
