Chapter 649: There is a big Xu Yu in his family on the battlefield!
Sang Zhixia didn't care that she was seen through. In front of her family, she didn't put on that air of being at ease all the time. She leaned lazily against the back of her chair and said, "Isn't this what I've been thinking about to streamline the sugar extraction and production process?"
Sang Zhixia has lived two lifetimes, but this is the first time he has witnessed real war.
Therefore, even if you have made many preparations in advance, when the time comes to fight with the iron horses, broken soldiers and long swords to lose your life, you will inevitably feel a little helpless.
But as time passed, Sang Zhixia racked his brains and found many things that he had not yet prepared from the few leisure books he had read in his previous life.
Sugar cubes are also very important strategic materials.
It is easy to carry and provides heat, and can also be used instead of medicine to treat wounds when necessary.
At worst, at least you can sweeten your lips while fighting for your life?
Sang Zhixia curled her lips and muttered softly, "But your eldest brother doesn't like sweet food. He finds it too greasy."
Although his expression doesn't seem to change much after taking a bite of something sweet, he can turn his head and drink three bowls of water immediately without even taking a breath.
Xu Minghui suppressed his laughter and remained silent.
Sang Zhixia sat up straight and said, "Wu'an will arrange another fleet in half a month, and we'll add all the sugar to it then."
"By the way, where's the tea I mentioned earlier? How long will it take?"
"Everything is ready."
Xu Minghui had already guessed where Sang Zhixia was going to put all these things, and said directly, "Pack them all up."
"As long as my sister-in-law agrees to send it away, it can be sent out today."
Sang Zhixia quickly went over the details in her head, making sure everything was ready. She stood up and said, "Then you watch over here. While it's still early, I'll go check out the farm."
Xu Minghui opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but finally, as he watched Sang Zhixia walk away quickly, he could only smile helplessly but with pride.
The famous Sang Dong family in Lingnan really doesn't want to be idle for a moment...
As soon as Sang Zhixia left, Uncle Xu, who was rushing over, found nothing.
Uncle Xu grumbled, stared at Xu Minghui, and said unhappily, "You're such a grown man standing here, and you're just going to let your sister-in-law run away?"
"You know what your Third Aunt and the others are talking about, so why don't you stop them?"
Xu Minghui looked innocent, lacking confidence but speaking confidently, "Uncle San, I can't stop you."
Uncle Xu: “…”
Xu Minghui said slowly, "Third uncle is not unaware of my sister-in-law's temper."
"What I said is useless."
Moreover, Xu Minghui felt that his family's worries were unnecessary.
As long as Xu Yu is not back from the battlefield, Sang Zhixia will never be able to let go.
Sang Zhixia is not the type of person who would just eat vegetarian food, chant Buddhist scriptures, and burn incense to seek protection because she is worried. At times like this, it is actually good for her to be busy.
Besides, Sang Zhixia also knows her limits.
Although I have been very busy these days, I don’t really intend to cause any problems for myself. I just go home less often. What’s the big deal?
When Xu Yu was not at home, she could take good care of herself and the young and old in the family.
Xu Minghui looked at her and felt from the bottom of his heart that Sang Zhixia was in a very good condition, much better than smelling of incense and candles every day.
Uncle Xu wanted to scold him a few more times.
But then he thought, let alone Xu Minghui, the old man's words at this time might not be so helpful. He was silent for a moment, sighed helplessly, sat down and drank two glasses of water before saying, "Your sister-in-law went to the farm. When will she be back?"
Xu Minghui shook his head: "I didn't say it clearly."
"But I think my sister-in-law is here to check on the dried vegetables and fruits she dried earlier. She might also want to check on the fried noodles and salted eggs. I'm afraid she won't be back for a couple of days."
"Uncle San has something serious to talk to her about?"
Uncle Xu muttered to himself, "You kid has grown so big for nothing!" He drank half a glass of water before saying, "Let's get down to business."
"Didn't your sister-in-law bring people to the winery to make some kind of wine-distilling device?"
"Most of the wineries are brewing less real alcohol these days. They're all distilling spirits. But the distilled alcohol is so pungent that it's unbearable to drink. One sip makes you choke and your heart burns."
"I came here to ask where she plans to send these undrinkable liquors?"
Xu Minghui was amused by Uncle Xu's twisted expression and raised an eyebrow, "Don't you know it already? Why are you still asking?"
There is only one place for the things that Sang Zhixia made at this critical juncture to go.
That was the battlefield where Xu Yu was.
If he hadn't guessed this, knowing that it was a strong liquor that couldn't be drunk or sold, Uncle Xu wouldn't have been so active in making money. Why would he have brought people to collect so much money day and night?
Uncle Xu glared at Xu Minghui and said with a disappointed look, "I guessed it, but it seems against the rules to send this thing to the army."
Sugar, tea leaves and the like are fine, but cotton-padded jackets are also necessary, and the more food and fodder the better.
But this thing called strong liquor...
Even though Uncle Xu had never been in a military camp, he knew that drunkenness was a serious crime in the army.
Military discipline is strict during wartime, and a bloody knife is hanging on the neck. Anyone who dares to drink will lose his head.
Uncle Xu said uncertainly, "Is your sister-in-law unaware of this rule? Have you ever mentioned it to her?"
Xu Minghui hasn't spoken yet.
Uncle Xu said subtly, "Besides, your eldest brother gets drunk easily after one sip and can't tell the difference between human and animal after three drinks. He doesn't need such a strong drink, right?"
Xu Yu is a man who can get drunk after tasting a spoonful of rice wine!
Xu Jinxi can drink three bowls of rice wine!
Xu Mingyang can pour it into the tank!
Xu Yubai has a scary-looking body, but his alcohol tolerance is not as good as that of a little kid!
Xu Minghui was once again amused by the narrow-mindedness in Uncle Xu's words. After a moment's thought, he said, "Drinking alcohol in the army is indeed a serious crime, but this wine is not necessarily meant to be drunk."
"Didn't Third Uncle just say that the wine after re-distillation can't be drunk? Then it can only be used for other purposes."
Uncle Xu was still bewildered, wondering what this intensely strong wine was for. When he got home, he couldn't help but complain to Aunt Xu. Xu Yanran, who was standing next to him, held up her small medicine box and said, "It's for external injuries."
Under the surprised gaze of Uncle Xu and his wife, Xu Yanran said seriously, "My master and Grandpa Qi both said that strong liquor can be used to heal wounds caused by iron tools like knives and arrows."
"If you're injured, spray a little liquor on it before bandaging it, or wipe the wound with liquor. This can prevent the wound from festering and becoming inflamed, and the injury will heal faster."
Uncle Xu suddenly exclaimed, slapped his forehead and walked out without thinking.
Aunt Xu was stunned for a moment: "Hey, you just got home, where are you going now?"
"I'm going to the brewery!"
Uncle Xu walked quickly, and without even turning his head, he said, "I'm afraid the amount of Cui we had before wasn't enough. I'll go get some more!"
He has a big brother named Xu Yu on the battlefield, and he has to be prepared for any eventuality!
Uncle Xu disappeared as he was speaking.
Aunt Xu laughed and said, "Your father still has the nerve to say that your sister-in-law is impatient. Look at him, how is he any worse than your sister-in-law?"
The older one is even more anxious!
Xu Yanran held the small medicine box in her hands and said seriously, "Dad is also trying to help my sister-in-law."
"But don't worry, Mom. Big brother is so powerful that he doesn't need anything else except food and clothes. Dad is busy doing all this just to save others. It's a good deed to accumulate virtue."
Aunt Xu let out a breath of mixed emotion and nodded, "Of course your eldest brother will be fine."
There are so many people protecting him behind the scenes.
The ancestors of the Xu family were also looking down upon them.
Xu Yu will come back the same way he left.
There will absolutely be no mistakes.
Uncle Xu and his colleagues were busy as a top, and Aunt Xu was also running the embroidery shop and working hard to make cotton-padded clothes.
At the same time, Sang Zhixia on the farm looked at the results in front of him and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Everything that can be thought of and prepared is prepared.
With these things, Xu Yu shouldn't be hungry or cold, right?
If I had to suffer more unnecessary pain like this...
Sang Zhixia gritted her teeth and murmured indistinctly, "Then never go out again, and stop dreaming of becoming a great general. Just go home and live a comfortable life!"
