After returning home, Wen Qiao told Su Mei what she needed to do next.
She came to tell Su Mei what to do, and Su Mei just followed her instructions.
Su Mei said it could be done.
The next day, Wang Gang brought the documents assigned to Shen Jichuan.
His surname is Zhang, and his given name is Zhang Minghui.
"Hello, sister-in-law. Political Commissar Wang said that if there's anything to do during this period, just assign it to me."
Wen Qiao said, "Hello, Zhang Wenshu."
"It's like this, I'm really worried about Deputy Division Commander Shen while he's on patrol. I know there are people cooking for him there so he doesn't lack food or drink, but I'm worried he won't be used to the water and soil here. I was thinking of making some dried meat and having someone bring it over."
"I just need to trouble Zhang Wenshu to help me buy some meat. I need 100 catties each of beef and mutton. As for pork, I have some meat coupons here. You can buy as much as you can."
Wang Gang listened to Wen Qiao's words and offered a reminder.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry too much about Deputy Division Commander Shen. They have military canned food, so they won't go hungry."
Wen Qiao said, "I know. But this is just a token of my appreciation."
She heard Wen Qiao say that it was her wish.
What more could a wife say about the heartfelt gesture of preparing food for her husband?
"Zhang Wenshu, just do as Comrade Wen Qiao says."
"You can talk about the rest. If you have any other questions, come find me."
Zhang Wenshu replied, "Yes, sir."
Wen Qiao also said, "Thank you, Brother Wang."
After Wang Gang left, Wen Qiao remembered that she was worried that 100 jin of beef and mutton wouldn't be enough to eat.
After all, besides Shen Jichuan, there are other border guards.
The things she sent over couldn't just be eaten by her own husband; she always had to share some with others.
Wen Qiao never expected that Shen Jichuan was a deputy division commander.
No one dares to eat his food without his permission.
But she still prepared more, asking Zhang Wen to add some chicken, duck, and fish.
Chicken, duck, and fish can also be used, but the taste will definitely not be as good as beef or mutton.
Wen Qiao asked Zhang Wenshu to buy another thirty chickens, thirty ducks, and thirty fish.
Zhang Wenshu took out his notebook and wrote everything down.
"Sister-in-law, there are quite a lot of these things. I'll try my best to buy them and bring them to you as quickly as possible."
Wen Qiao said, "Okay, you don't need to rush. Just buy enough and send it over. If you don't have enough manpower, go to the camp and find some Squad Leader Sun. When Deputy Division Commander Shen left, he contacted the Second Battalion."
Zhang Wenshu immediately smiled.
“What a coincidence! I’m also from the Second Battalion, but I’ve been transferred here to work as a clerk for Deputy Division Commander Shen.”
"Sister-in-law, I'll take care of it right now, don't worry."
After Zhang Wenshu finished speaking, he was about to leave when Wen Qiao called him to wait, saying that he hadn't paid yet.
Wen Qiao gave Zhang Shuwen three hundred.
In the Northwest, the price of beef and mutton is not much different, around six or seven cents per pound.
It's a little over two cents cheaper than the one in the north of the city.
It seems that there are many Hui people here, and most of the beef and mutton is supplied to them.
The price is cheaper than elsewhere.
Wen Qiao gave Zhang Wenshu money and said that if he didn't have enough money, he should let her know and she would take the money to buy it first.
Zhang Wenshu was thinking of buying 200 jin of beef and mutton, which would cost over 100 yuan.
In addition, there are other pork, chicken, duck, and fish.
After careful calculation, Wen Qiao concluded that it came to around two hundred.
Let Zhang Wenshu take it to buy it first. If the money is less than what you need, come back and ask her for it.
If there's any money left, send it to her.
Wen Qiao used the money she earned from selling her job to buy these things, and to be honest, it hurt her a little.
Who buys meat like she does, buying hundreds of kilograms at a time?
Wen Qiao was also worried that if the meat was made into jerky, she wouldn't be able to make enough.
