Chapter 730 Young General vs. Rich Lady 33
Huo Xiao opened the bag and found a chubby tiger doll inside. It didn't have any of the majesty of a tiger, but instead had a silly air.
The doll seemed to be imbued with the breath of the god, which was obviously brought by the god along the way. He couldn't tell what the smell was, but it was like the spring scenery after the snow melted, full of vitality.
Huo Xiao held the tiger in his hands, his thoughts flying far away.
Practicing martial arts is a long and arduous journey, not to mention that he also has to learn to read and write. Since he started his education at the age of three, he has never owned a child's toy.
He had a miniature iron sword, a small bow and a small horse, but nothing that was useless.
Huo Xiao touched the tiger's head, which was soft and comfortable. Such a childlike little doll would obviously be liked by children.
In front of the god, he always couldn't help but tell a lot. He said that he also wanted to fight crickets and go out to play like other children. The god was kind and generous and never laughed at him. Instead, he felt sorry for him.
The gods felt sorry for the hard work he had done in his childhood, so they gave him a child's gift, as if to penetrate time and caress the hard-working child.
Ji Yunhuan didn't hear a response for a long time and was very embarrassed. She rolled around on the bed and buried her head in the quilt, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Huo Xiao went to the battlefield before he was fourteen years old. He had come through the swordplay and although he was young, he had killed countless enemies and made great military achievements.
How could such a person like this possibly like childish dolls?
Ji Yunhuan slapped her head in annoyance. She was really stupid. She should have given Huo Xiao a good sword.
Did Huo Xiao think that I was teasing him?
Ji Yunhuan quickly tried to make amends, "If you don't like it, just tell me. You gave me such a valuable jade pendant, and I really like it. I wanted to give you a gift in return, but I'm clumsy and can't make anything good."
"I shouldn't have thought of doing it myself. You're a general, I should have given you a sword, or a bow, so you can still use it."
"Just give the doll over here, and I'll find you a gift tomorrow."
Huo Xiao finally came to his senses and hugged the doll in his arms tightly, fearing that the bronze mirror would send the doll back.
"No! I love it!"
Huo Xiao emphasized again, "I really like it. I don't want a sword or a bow. I just want this doll. Thank God, this is the best gift I have ever received."
Ji Yunhuan was relieved, "As long as you like it."
That night, Huo Xiao slept with a tiger doll in his arms, which was a unique gift given to him by God.
The next morning, he carefully smoothed the tiger's hair and placed it on the bedside. The originally cold and hard bedroom seemed to become soft.
He was even reluctant to leave and lingered in the house for a while before going to the military camp.
Some soldiers have already put on new clothes and shoes and are training even harder.
After finishing a bunch of chores and practicing a set of sword techniques, Huo Xiao saw that the time was almost up, so he took the bronze mirror and went to Yan Mansion.
The Yan Mansion is a large house with four courtyards, half of which is separated out for use as a garment factory.
The main house and the side rooms were connected, and all the things inside were cleared out, leaving three hundred sewing machines neatly arranged.
The right wing was piled with cloth, the left wing was filled with ready-made clothes, and two maids were holding pens, recording the accounts coming in and out.
Gao Shurou wore a red cross-collared shirt and a black horse-faced skirt. She had a simple bun on her head, which was only secured with two jade hairpins. Her hands were folded in front of her chest. Her movements were like a willow swaying in the wind, and each step seemed to be measured. No matter where she was, the dignified manners she had cultivated since childhood were engraved in her bones.
Mei Xiang, the head maid, came over to support the lady, her eyes showing worry, "Madam, you are not well yet, why did you come out? There are servants and stewards watching here, no one will sneak around."
Gao Shurou was not wearing any makeup, but her face was very pale. She coughed lightly, flipped through the account book, and nodded with satisfaction.
"It's really much faster. Everyone is responsible for a job, cutting cloth, sewing, trimming... Everyone has their own job, and once they get used to it, the speed will be even faster. This kind of assembly line operation has at least doubled the speed."
"Fortunately, we have the sewing machine given by God. Otherwise, it would take who knows how long it would take for these people to finish making clothes for tens of thousands of people."
"I trained all of you personally, so I'm naturally confident in your abilities, but I still have to come and see for myself. My husband has finally reconciled the relationship with the Major General, so we must do a good job in making clothes and not let the Major General down."
"It's almost lunch time, you must not neglect these female workers. Although they are laborers, they must be given two meals a day and subsidized rice. If I find out that someone has withheld laborers' food, I will never forgive them!"
Qiuyue nodded repeatedly, "I understand."
Several large wooden barrels were carried in from the kitchen. They were filled with rice porridge mixed with pickled mustard and shredded pork. The aroma wafted out and the female workers in the house could no longer sit still. They kept looking out into the yard.
Although they were anxious, they did not stop working. They could do the labor just by operating the machines, and they also had food and drink. They were very satisfied and particularly obedient.
The steward struck a small drum and said loudly, "Line up for meals, don't crowd."
The female workers went to have lunch, but the servants in Yan Mansion were not idle either. They moved the finished clothes into the left wing, and then moved the cut pieces of cloth into the bamboo basket next to the sewing machine.
The entire Yan Mansion was busy making clothes. The kitchen staff prepared two meals non-stop, the guards took turns patrolling, and the servants did some heavy work. Everything was in order.
Yan Changfeng came over with a tablet. He was the most idle person in the entire Yan Mansion, and he had been playing with the tablet for the whole morning.
Gao Shurou went forward and knelt down to salute, "My husband, the young general just came in from the corner gate without alerting anyone else. I had someone take him to the warehouse at the back, which has been emptied and can hold a lot of fabrics."
"According to the current progress, we can make 5,000 cross-collared shirts and 5,000 pairs of trousers today. These are the finished products. We also have some cut fabrics, sewn sleeves and trouser legs, etc. We will definitely be able to make more tomorrow."
Gao Shurou already knew about the bronze mirror. She had to take charge of all the affairs, so it was impossible to hide it from her.
Yan Changfeng had just finished playing a game of Plants vs. Zombies, and his tablet showed that it was low on battery. He felt quite regretful and could only put the tablet in his arms for the time being.
He held his wife's hand and walked through the corridor to the back. "Madam is really amazing! She can come up with a good idea of one person doing one part. Huo Xiao, that fellow, will definitely not be as good as you in assigning people to do it. He will definitely not be able to make 5,000 sets a day."
"With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for!"
Gao Shurou lowered her head shyly after hearing such straightforward praise. "In my husband's eyes, Shurou is good in every way. I only thought of this after watching the video sent by the god. Anyone else would have thought of this too."
