Military barracks kitchen.

The soldiers in charge of the kitchen were staring in disbelief at a head chef.

The chef came with this batch of supplies, saying he was there to teach them how to cook.

Did they travel all the way from the capital just to teach them how to cook?

At first, everyone was just waiting to see what would happen, but because it was someone sent by Princess Anle, even though they weren't optimistic,

They won't be sarcastic or sarcastic.

Because Princess Anle has now become a prominent figure in their military camp.

They also received two new cotton-padded coats today, and tried them on. They were all made of new cotton and were very thick, so thick that you wouldn't want to take them off once you put them on.

Some people even wanted to keep these nice cotton-padded coats and send them back to their hometowns, because their families needed them more than they did.

In recent years, those who are willing to join the army are mostly from very poor families or those who cannot afford to support their children.

At least in the military camp, you can still get a meal.

However, the general also decreed that these clothes were only for the children themselves; their families were not to be treated.

Princess Anle, far away in the capital, has already proposed corresponding policies.

The current emperor has adopted this policy, so they don't need to worry about their families going hungry.

Moreover, the food brought today is fresh, and all the people of Dayong will be able to eat it next year.

On the other hand,

The soldiers present witnessed firsthand how the three types of food they brought became incredibly fragrant under the chef's skillful hands.

"Glug~"

"Hey bro, do you recognize the food in here? It smells amazing!"

One soldier asked the older soldier.

"This was sent by Princess Anle, how could I possibly recognize it? But you know what, it smells really good, and it's even a little sweet."

The old soldier swallowed hard.

The aroma from the kitchen grew stronger and stronger, wafting outside and making the passing soldiers swallow hard.

He wondered to himself: What is the kitchen cooking? It smells so good!

Where can you find good food on a snowy day like this? The wild vegetables on the mountain have long been plucked bare by them.

It smells so good, will they be able to have it for lunch too?

Thinking of this, the soldiers on duty immediately perked up and, wearing their newly acquired cotton-padded coats, strode off on patrol.

The aroma here could be smelled even from the general's tent, which was far away.

At this moment, Jing Le's maternal uncle Gong Chengyun and his cousin Gong Shaoyuan were inside the tent. They were also given two sets of cotton-padded clothes when they returned from their shift.

"Grandfather, did my cousin send all of these? And what's cooking in the kitchen? It smells so good!"

My older cousin, wearing a new cotton-padded coat, smelled the fragrance wafting from outside the tent and asked.

There was no one else around, so he naturally addressed the Great General as his grandfather.

"Yes, these were all sent by Lele. Your aunt mentioned them in her letter; they must be new food..."

The general explained the uses of these three crops one by one, which greatly surprised the two men.

"Is this true? Hahaha, this is a blessing for the Great Yong!"

My uncle was so excited, he couldn't contain himself.

Just then, a soldier from the kitchen brought in three dishes: "Report, General, the food has arrived."

"Come in."

A moment later, only three of them remained in the tent. They exchanged glances, and without a word, they began to move.

They had smelled the aroma long ago, and now they couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks.

The three of them's eyes lit up immediately after the first bite.

The speed at which these three foods are eaten indicates how popular they are.

"You little brat, don't you know how to respect the elderly and care for the young? Leave some for your old man."

My uncle swung his chopsticks at my cousin's hand, just as he was about to pick up the last piece of corn, my grandfather intervened.

"You don't know how to respect the elderly and care for the young, don't you know I also love to eat?"

The last piece of corn naturally ended up in my grandfather's hands.

The aroma wafted from the military camp for a long, long time, making even the imperial spies curse.

"Damn it, what kind of food is this Da Yong army camp making? It smells so good."

The scouts couldn't help but curse. In this freezing weather, they could only eat dry rations and couldn't even get hot water, while the Dayong army camp not only had hot water but also delicious food.

I'm so envious!

The snowy day was already freezing cold.

Meanwhile, the Dayong army camp was bustling with activity.

This was the happiest year for these soldiers guarding the frontier.

Not only do they have new cotton-padded clothes to keep them warm, but they also have new food.

At that moment, my gratitude towards Jing Le was higher than ever before.

The general also received a letter from Emperor Jing, inviting his family to return to the capital for the New Year.

After settling matters on the frontier, he took his family and headed to the capital.

Meanwhile, Jing Le, far away in the capital, received another large wave of merit points.

[Ding! Border soldiers have received cotton-padded clothes, weapons, food, and merit points as a reward.]

[Strength restored to mid-stage of Fusion Realm.]

Total Merit Points

This time, the merit was exceptionally great, and the spiritual energy it brought was also abundant, but it subsided after a short while.

"We've received the cotton-padded clothes. We're sure to have a good New Year on the border this year. I wonder if Grandpa's family will come back for the New Year?"

Jing Le raised an eyebrow.

[Ding, system upgrade complete. Please check.]

Huh? Upgrade complete?!

Well, she had forgotten that the system was still upgrading, and she wondered what might be available this time.

Bring up the system panel and click the "Shop" button.

There is now an area next to the food panel: cloth.

It contains all kinds of fabrics, as well as related dyeing techniques, weaving techniques, and raw materials for fabrics.

"This time it's fabric? Not bad, they have everything from raw materials to dyeing and weaving, so we can start production right away."
