Chapter 726 Young General vs. Rich Lady 29
Ji Yunhuan saw a wide variety of machines, but they all needed to be plugged in. After being plugged in, it only took a few pulls to sew two pieces of cloth together, which was very fast.
"Is there a way to use it without electricity? I like the feeling of being handmade."
The sales manager led Ji Yunhuan to the innermost warehouse, which was covered in dust. He pointed at the old-fashioned sewing machines inside and said, "These are discarded from the past. Clothing factories now have to be faster. No one uses these anymore. They are just gathering dust here."
The sales manager demonstrated to Ji Yunhuan, "These are all operated by foot. Once you step on them, the needles start moving, and the speed is not slow. This batch of goods is all brand new, and the quality is guaranteed."
"You were introduced by Sister Zhou, so I won't lie to you. Five hundred yuan is the lowest price. I will give you a three-year warranty. If there is any problem, you can always contact me."
Ji Yunhuan bought all the sewing machines in the warehouse, a total of 300 machines, spending 150,000 yuan. He signed the contract and paid the money on the spot.
The sales manager was very happy that these old models could still be sold, and his bonus for this month was settled. Ji Yunhuan was also very happy, because if this thing was sent to ancient times to be made into clothes, it would definitely grow very fast.
Ji Yunhuan returned with a full load. After returning to the villa, she first stopped delivering water and asked Huo Xiao to prepare a larger venue to receive the clothes. Then she took the bronze mirror and drove to the warehouse.

A huge reservoir was dug in the backyard of the general's mansion and was filled with water. There was also a reservoir in the stable across the street, connected by pipes, which stored water for the horses.
Tianbo was not idle these days. He led the laborers to use bamboo pipes to bring water to several main street intersections so that the people could get water at any time without having to queue up at the gate of the general's mansion.
People not only have water to drink, but can also simply wash themselves, which basically meets their daily water needs.
Huo Xiao held the bronze mirror, called a few trusted generals, and went to the granary along the secret passage, preparing to clear out a large warehouse to store the clothes.
Yan Changfeng came uninvited and blocked Huo Xiao at the door of the granary, and could not be driven away.
"Prince Yan, it's already late at night. Why are you hanging around here instead of going back to the Yan Mansion? Stealing military rations is a serious crime. Get out of here!"
Yan Changfeng saw Huo Xiao holding something covered with a black cloth, looking mysterious. There were eight soldiers following behind him, all of them were Huo Xiao's confidants. It was obvious that they all knew the inside story but kept it from him.
In terms of military rank, he is only lower than Huo Xiao. Those secrets that even ordinary peasants know are unknown to him. He just can't accept it!
The food in the granary seemed to be in endless supply, with new food arriving every day, but he had people keep an eye on the granary for several days, and there was no convoy delivering anything in. Today he came to keep an eye on it in person, and ran into Huo Xiao. He had to get to the bottom of things.
"Don't scare me. I didn't go into the granary. I was just standing outside."
"Where does your food come from? It can feed so many people. Are you really colluding with the State of Lu? It doesn't seem right. The State of Lu can't give you so much rice. Is there really a god?"
"Show me what you have in your hand, and I'll leave."
Huo Xiao was in a hurry to go in, so he winked at Zhao Shan and said, "Send Prince Yan back."
Zhao Shan picked up Yan Changfeng like a chicken. Yan Changfeng got anxious and drew the shiny sword from his waist, swinging it around a few times.
Zhao Shan did not dare to really use force against Prince Yan, mainly because he was afraid of causing trouble for the young general, so he had to let go.
Yan Changfeng shouted angrily: "Huo Xiao! Why are you guarding me like a thief? We are all on the same boat. If Pingyang City falls, we will all die! I admit that I want to seize your military power, but I have never harmed you!"
"You said I bought people's hearts and wanted to frame the Huo family. I investigated it after I went back and dealt with the people. You got the medicine and sent a military doctor to save Shurou. I have always been clear about gratitude and resentment. I really want to join the army and fight against Beirong with you!"
"I still have two thousand men under my command. They are all the Yan family's death warriors who have been trained since childhood. They are more powerful than the ones I gave you last time. If you are honest with me and don't hide anything, I will give them to you."
Huo Xiao knew that Yan Changfeng had hidden his troops. Those two thousand men must have disguised themselves as ordinary people and came here to get porridge. They were obviously strong and healthy, but they did not sign up to join the army.
Xu Sheng whispered, "Prince Yan did punish a few people. He didn't lie about that."
Huo Xiao didn't want to waste any more time, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let Prince Yan come in with us."
From the current perspective, Yan Changfeng is still trustworthy. If he really has any ill intentions and passes on some information that should not be spread, Huo Xiao will not show mercy.
Yan Changfeng put away his sword and followed him in happily.
Huo Xiao opened the black cloth and placed a gray bronze mirror on the table. Yan Changfeng didn't understand and wanted to touch it, but the scabbard was opened.
"How dare you! Don't be disrespectful to the gods!"
Yan Changfeng shook his red hands and muttered softly, "What god? The mirror god?"
Huo Xiao ignored him, bowed to the bronze mirror, and said respectfully: "God, Xiao is ready, please give me clothes."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen black handbags appeared on the table.
Huo Xiao opened a bag, inside was a pair of shoes with blue and white stripes and a breathable mesh surface. The soles were as soft as a cloud, and they bounced when you squeezed them, and were very comfortable.
Everyone started to dismantle it, and soon they took out seven or eight pairs of shoes, and several sets of clothes and pants with strange styles.
Zhao Hai took the clothes and tried it on himself. The sleeves and pants were longer. He tried it on Huo Xiao and understood instantly.
"These are given to the young general by the gods. Look, they are just right."
Everyone was afraid of dirtying these soft and beautiful clothes, so they touched them carefully. "Such light fabric, as if it has no weight, so slippery and comfortable."
"This one must be worn outside. It's actually waterproof. There's a little water stain on the table, but the clothes are not wet. It's amazing."
"The things sent by the gods are indeed extraordinary. Look, General, it says here that this set of clothes is quick-drying and this set can protect against the sun. No matter how strong the sun is, we don't have to be afraid."
Everyone was talking about it, but Yan Changfeng was the only one who widened his eyes in surprise. What kind of magic was this? How could something appear out of thin air?
He had never seen such beautiful shoes, nor had he seen such a beautiful green color, sparkling like a firefly. He couldn't help but grab a pair of fluorescent green shoes, holding them in his arms, unwilling to let go.
The voice of the god came over, "Little General, did you receive it? I don't know if the size is right. Try it on quickly. If it doesn't fit, I'll change it for you tomorrow."
