Chapter 112 Quartermaster Wang Zhong
During this period, a group of people kept talking about wanting to eat stinky meat.
I don't know where I found a large bucket of washed pig intestines and froze it in ice, just waiting for Wang Qi to persuade Song Liyun.
Now that Song Liyun agreed, Wang Qi was overjoyed and jumped to inform everyone that they would leave the camp tomorrow.
As for work, as long as there is food to eat, you can do anything!
Song Liyun really needs someone to do something.
When she saw people taking ice from the river in Qili County, she also wanted to build an ice cellar.
These days, Han Ming has been getting ice from the river since he came back, and Song Liyun also uses well water to freeze ice cubes at home.
Song Zhenping has difficulty with his legs, and the greenhouse at home needs someone to look after it, so Han Ming has always been the only one doing the work outside.
Now that these greedy laborers are available at our doorstep, we must make use of them.
Wang Qi ran away shyly, while Song Liyun stood there smiling like a flower.
In the office of the logistics department, quartermaster Wang Zhong smiled slightly when he saw all this.
He had been in the military his entire life and looked upon these young men as if they were his own sons and nephews.
The young man was happy and in a good mood.
It would be even better if the young men could find wives and start a family.
His misunderstanding caused Song Liyun to feel a little confused when handing over the dishes.
"Wang Junxu, is there something wrong with today's dish?" Song Liyun asked.
"No, very good, very good, haha!" Wang Zhong smiled brightly.
"Oh! Wang Junshou, may I ask if the captain is here? I went to Qili County this time and brought some small gifts for the two masters."
Song Liyun took out preserved fruits, dried sausages, and shortbread.
Wang Zhong became even happier: Luo Lun was not at the guard post today, so he would just accept these things for him.
Because Captain Luo was not there, Song Liyun told Wang Zhong that she had gone to Qili County and discovered suspected bandits.
As for the incident of being robbed on the way, she only mentioned it in a natural and vague way, without mentioning that two people had died.
Originally, Wang Zhong was listening attentively, but when he heard that she was almost robbed on the way back from Qili County, he couldn't help but curse that the officials of Qili County Government were all good-for-nothings who couldn't even manage an area the size of a palm.
Ask Song Liyun to bring more people with her when she goes to Qili County next time.
If you can't find help, just go to the garrison and tell them. It won't be a problem for them to arrange a few for you.
Wang Zhong began to vigorously promote his own soldiers, choosing any of them, tall and strong, agile and lively, honest and simple, or with good martial arts skills.
He had been in the border military camp for too long and didn't realize that he was saying these things to a young girl, which could easily be misunderstood.
Song Liyun expressed her gratitude with a smile, saying that the family already had hired workers and that was enough.
Wang Zhong didn't force it.
When Wang Zhong, who was originally in a good mood, heard Song Liyun say that she was worried about bandits coming to the town during the festival, he suddenly lost interest and just nodded casually, saying, "Okay, I will tell the captain later, Miss Song, you don't have to worry.
Xue Zhuang is from the garrison, and he has already taken charge of the town's security. If any strangers enter the town, he will notify the garrison."
Only then did Song Liyun realize that Xue Zhuang had established connections with the garrison through his unremitting efforts.
The military discipline he violated was "raping a civilian woman", which was not a big mistake in the eyes of men.
In addition, it is a matter of mutual consent on both sides, and there is no need for severe punishment. However, military orders are like mountains, and expulsion from the military is necessary.
Captain Luo knew that he ran a restaurant, a tavern, and a gambling house, and that he was well-informed about the people coming and going, making him a good candidate for gathering intelligence, so he handed over the management of the town to him.
Xue Zhuang was naturally satisfied to be back in the garrison and get a job, but it was a pity that the monthly salary of only fifty coins was a bit too little.
Xue Zhuang would come to the camp at any time to ask for things to supplement the family expenses. Today it was food, tomorrow it was firewood, and the day after tomorrow it was charcoal. He never returned empty-handed.
As the quartermaster in charge of supplies, Wang Zhong could only turn a blind eye to this and was extremely annoyed.
Now when he heard Song Liyun mention Xue Zhuang again, he, as the housekeeper of the military camp, naturally felt a little resistant.
Seeing that Wang Zhong was being perfunctory, Song Liyun had no choice but to give up. Fortunately, he knew that Xue Zhuang was already keeping an eye on the town, and he finally felt relieved.
Another thing is the wool carpet.
When Song Liyun was trying to figure out the origin of the wool carpet and the Di tribe, Wang Zhong's attitude changed again. He said in a stern voice, "Miss Song, that wool carpet was a military trophy, so I mortgaged it to you. It wasn't bought or sold.
Wu Dynasty law stipulates that colluding with the Di tribe is a serious crime, so you can't say that casually."
Song Liyun's face turned pale instantly, and she wanted to slap herself twice.
Now that the Di tribe is invading, he still comes to the border guards to ask for the enemy's contact information. He is really obsessed with money and is tired of living.
Looking at Wang Junjiang's expression, if he had not been kidnapped by Captain Luo and was an innocent civilian, he would probably have been arrested as a spy immediately.
Song Liyun didn't dare to say anything more. She quickly said goodbye and left the garrison in her empty cart.
At this time, several people were already waiting at the camp gate.
Wang Qi stood on tiptoe and kept looking over here. When he saw Song Liyun coming out of the logistics department, he hurried over to greet her: "Miss Song, we brought the pig intestines."
Song Liyun looked at the big block of ice on the ground speechlessly. These guys had actually planned this for a long time and even prepared the pig intestines.
Seeing her looking at the ice, Wang Qi chuckled and changed the subject: "Miss Song, these are the brothers who will come to help cut ice tomorrow. They are serious and responsible in their work and will never do things half-heartedly."
When they heard themselves introduced, those people nodded and bowed quickly.
Among these people, there are old soldiers with gray hair and young soldiers with childish faces.
At this moment, whether they were veterans or young soldiers, their eyes looking at Song Liyun were shy but fiery, just like children asking for candy.
Is the power of a delicious meal really that great?
Wang Qi scratched his head and said, "Brothers have enough food in the camp, they just want to try something new."
Song Liyun understood what he meant. The military camps all had communal meals, which were filling but not delicious. It was like she was tired of eating energy bars and wanted something different.
Since she had already promised Wang Qi, Song Liyun stopped being pretentious and said to the soldiers, "Okay, everyone, please come to Baolinju on time tomorrow. But I'll trouble you to help me cut the ice."
"Okay, no problem!"
"It's not a big deal. Don't worry, sister. I'll definitely get it done!"
Several people responded happily and worked together to lift the big block of ice onto the cart.
When Song Liyun drove the cart far away, he could still hear the cheers behind him.
As soon as they returned to Baolinju, Song Liyun packed the big ice cubes in a big bag and asked Han Ming to put them in the greenhouse to thaw.
Song Zhenping knew that his family was going to make potatoes and pork intestines again, and he was worried about the salt and oil at home.
The pig intestines made by my second sister are delicious, but they use too much material. Just cleaning them wastes oil, salt and food.
Han Ming was delighted to hear that someone would help him chop ice tomorrow, and he quickly prepared ropes and sticks to carry the ice back home.
The next morning, Song Liyun went to the greenhouse to get the pig intestines. The ice had melted and water was all over the ground.
When she reached out to pick up the bag, she saw it didn't move, and she immediately had a bad feeling.
