When the three sons of the Qiao family received the cotton products, it was already late autumn.
Qiao Yunting distributed the first batch of cotton-padded clothes to his personal guards first, and gave the rest as rewards to his outstanding soldiers, which made his reputation among the grassroots officers and soldiers gradually rise.
At first, he was somewhat reluctant to accept that he was an airborne soldier, but gradually he was convinced by his way of handling things and his personal charm.
There really was no general like Qiao Yunting, who ate, lived and trained with them. He was fair and impartial, and praised those who made achievements generously, and punished those who made mistakes.
No one said it, but the balance in their hearts had already tilted greatly.
Yuan Jinhong touched the cotton coat on his body. Being used to wearing brocade, he didn't dislike it at all.
Silk is close fitting and delicate, but it is cold in the winter and does not lock in warmth! Unlike this piece of clothing, even if you take it off and leave it for a while, it is still warm inside.
"General, this dress is not made of linen or satin. What is it made of? Why is it so soft and warm?"
Qiao Yunting said, "It's made of white folded paper. My mother made it."
Wang Da Kui happily showed off his gloves and hat to his colleagues.
It was made by his daughter-in-law using the prize she received from the old lady.
Ten kilograms of cotton!
They all made him a quilt, cotton shoes and warm clothes. The guards, who only had one set of cotton clothes, were itching to do something after seeing his appearance.
Wang Da Kui didn't realize it, and came over and said, "The old lady has a lot of good things, but these are not enough for the brothers to share. How about we pay to buy more?"
Qiao Yunting rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do you think I don't want to?
But there’s nothing else like that, and the things in the house aren’t left to me alone.
Big brother, second brother must keep some, the mansion in the capital, His Majesty's place, and our own people will keep some. And the guy in the northwest will also get a share.
A little of this, a little of that, no matter how much stuff mom has, it won’t be enough to share.
The fact that we were able to get 500 sets of masks is a special consideration for us because it is quite cold in the mountains! One set per person is not enough right now, so we should share them among ourselves. Four sets should be guaranteed for each barracks, and those on duty at night must change into them."
Yuan Jinhong asked again: "Can we reserve next year's share with the old lady?"
"You definitely have to make a reservation. And you have to tell me in advance. Even for these 500 units, you have to pay for them.
Brothers should settle accounts clearly. I, as a son, always take my mother's things for free. This is unacceptable. Deputy General Yuan, please say hello to the military advisor in charge of logistics."
"Is it the same as last time?"
"Yeah, the same."
Qiao Yunting knew that he was talking about customized mosquito repellent ointments and spices for summer.
"Send it over as soon as possible and go directly to Butler Cao. If you don't let him know in advance, we may not be able to buy it even if we queue up next year."
What Qiao Yunting said is not an exaggeration at all. Anyone who has used their products this year will definitely come back again next year.
Just look at his second sister-in-law’s rouge and powder shop in the capital. The orders are almost scheduled for half a year later. Every time a product comes out, it’s sold out in seconds.
As a result, his second sister-in-law often complained that running this shop was boring, she made a lot of money but could not experience the joy of being a shopkeeper!
"I'll ask my mother later if we can share another batch of clothes so that everyone can have one set."
But he is not the only one who has such thoughts!
Half a month later, Qiao Xin received feedback from all parties.
To sum it up in one sentence, I want to add an order!
Qiao Xin put the envelope in Manager Cao's hand and said, "Synchronize the reply: No!"
Manager Cao was also a little embarrassed and said hesitantly: "How about we use our servants first and keep the vacancies for you gentlemen?"
Qiao Xin glared at him and directly rejected his selfless idea.
"What are you talking about? Their subordinates are important, but the people around me are not important? If you get sick in winter, who will run errands for us in the middle of winter? Do you want me to run everywhere myself?"
"But if you guys get cold outside, wouldn't that make you even more worried?"
Qiao Xin hesitated for a moment and said, "We don't have any cotton-padded clothes, but we do have some feathered clothes. Didn't we kill all the 10,000 ducks we raised last month?
We did get quite a bit of duck feathers, and had them cleaned a long time ago. We made a batch of clothes the other day. Apart from not looking good, they are very warm. Let's share some with them!"
Only then did Manager Cao excitedly go to make arrangements!
When Emperor Wu received the second batch of warm clothes sent by Qiao Xin, he put them on on the spot.
This winter didn't feel so cold for the first time.
On weekdays, when reviewing memorials, he could still feel cold hands and feet even with two braziers beside him. There were fire dragons in the warm rooms of the palace, but he was used to being frugal and would not use a lot of charcoal to keep warm unless it was the coldest day of the year.
But this year, even without using the ground heating, he felt that he could get through this winter easily.
As for the feather coat on my body, although the color is not very elegant, this thin layer can keep the heat of the body at all. After moving around a little, I actually broke out in a sweat.
The clothes are nice, but Madam Qiao is too stingy. In the entire palace, only he, the queen, and the queen mother have them, not to mention Cao Banban, who is by his side.
Even the King of Qi only got one set of cotton-padded clothes and feathered clothes.
