Yang Haiyan had already combed her hair. She had no intention of going out today. She would stay at home all day in her cotton clothes. But since she knew Yang Dahua was pregnant, she wanted to go and see her.
So she changed her clothes. She wore a bra, two pieces of fine cotton underwear, a short cotton shirt, which was similar to a short kimono. She also wore a rabbit fur scarf. Her upper body was white, and her lower body was a dark red skirt. Under the skirt, she wore fine cotton leggings and cotton shirts. She also wore a dark red long cotton hoodie. You couldn't even tell if she was fat or thin. She looked like a cylinder, but she didn't care.
Before leaving, Yang Haiyan drank a bowl of porridge and a bowl of goat milk. After eating, she asked someone to bring two strips of bacon, some eggs, and a cotton shirt that she had prepared in advance. Knowing that Yang Dahua would get pregnant in the coldest time, when she made a long cotton quilt for herself, she also made a cotton jacket for her. Yang Dahua was thrifty and could not bear to make new clothes for herself. She would not give gifts normally. She was not that generous. However, when people get pregnant, those who are close to them will give them cloth in addition to food. She did not give cloth, but a piece of clothing suitable for Yang Dahua.
To Yang Haiyan, this clothing was not worth the money. She bought the cotton on the platform. She went to the county once without letting the servants follow her. When she came back, she brought back more than ten kilograms of cotton. One or two kilograms of cotton is enough for a cotton jacket and a cotton vest. Ten kilograms of cotton can make several pieces. Moreover, ten kilograms of cotton only cost about one hundred Taiwan dollars, which was very cheap for her who had tens of millions of platforms.
Accompanying Yang Haiyan was Nanny Lian. On the way, Yang Haiyan said to Nanny Lian: "Han Baifu and my husband are from the same village, and they have a good relationship. And his wife Yang Dahua is my sister, we are both from the Yang Mansion..."
Nanny Lian then realized that the wife was indeed from a wealthy family, but in a wealthy family, she was a maid. No wonder the wife's manners were so good, it turned out that she was the head maid of the legitimate daughter of the Yang Mansion: "Is it the Yang Mansion of that Taifu Yang's family?" Taifu Yang was the current Taifu, how could such a family not have good manners? It is much higher than the second-rank Yuan family. However, even the highest family status was ruined in the struggle for the succession.
Yang Haiyan was a little surprised: "Madam, do you know?"
Madam Lian sighed: "Old Master Yuan used to work in the capital, and later retired and returned to his hometown in Qingzhou. So when I was in the capital, I heard about the Yang family." A real scholarly family, but she didn't know what happened to the Yang family after they suffered, because Old Master Yuan had retired at that time.
Retirement means resignation in modern times.
Yang Haiyan: "Is that so."
When they arrived at Han's house, the courtyard door was open, and Yang Haiyan called out: "Is Sister Dahua here?"
Yang Dahua was in the kitchen, and when she heard the voice, she responded: "Yes, yes."
Yang Haiyan took Madam Lian into the kitchen and saw Yang Dahua and Han Zhen drinking porridge. Seeing her coming, Yang Dahua stood up quickly: "Haiyan, have you eaten?" Although she knew that Yang Haiyan must have eaten.
Yang Haiyan hurriedly said: "Sister Dahua, sit still, I just finished eating, and my stomach is still panting with heat." As she said that, she took the thermos bucket from Nanny Lian and brought out goat milk, "Sister Dahua, drink the goat milk while it's hot. I'm so happy. Congratulations." Generally speaking, in ancient times, women would not tell Yang Haiyan about their pregnancy within three months. Yang Dahua originally didn't plan to tell Yang Haiyan, but didn't this mean that Yang Haiyan would have goat milk? If she suddenly said no, Yang Haiyan would definitely be confused, so she told her about her pregnancy. For others, even if they were neighbors she got along well with, she didn't plan to tell them. It will take three months for the fetus to settle down.
Yang Dahua sat down and drank a mouthful of goat milk: "Thank you." Then she touched her belly. She was happy to be a mother. A family is not just for the male and female owners. With children, the family will be happier and more secure. "It's just that I can't go to the county town to do business in these ten months." You know, she could earn one or two silver coins a month by selling this batch of cakes to Haiyan, but now she is pregnant and the child is important, so she naturally won't take risks. Having tasted the sweetness of making money, she suddenly can't make money anymore, and she feels a little regretful in her heart.
Yang Haiyan didn't know what to say, because Yang Dahua's idea was in line with the idea of women of this era.
Han Zhen said, "You take good care of yourself, I have money." In the past two years, he has saved 20 taels of silver. He is not like Qin Fang who eats a lot, but he can also endure hardships. He doesn't send money home, so he has a small savings. "When I have a break, I will go to the mountains to hunt some game to sell, and I can also exchange some money. Don't worry about the livelihood of the family." In the past, there were only two of them. With his monthly salary and his wife's monthly sale in the county town, the family was still rich, but with a child, he wanted to give the child better. So Han Zhen thought of going to the mountains to hunt game to make money.
Upon hearing this, Yang Dahua objected immediately: "It's too dangerous to hunt game on this day. I'm worried."
Han Zhen patted her shoulder: "I just mentioned it. If you don't agree, I won't go. You guys talk first, I'll go fetch water." In fact, he still had this thought in mind. Of course, he said this because he didn't want to worry his wife. However, in order to ensure safety, even if he was confident in his kung fu, he would call a colleague to go with him.
Han Zhen went out, and Yang Haiyan asked Nanny Lian to take out the basket and the package. Yang Dahua saw it and hurriedly said: "Take it back quickly. You can't buy meat outside on this day. Keep it for yourself to replenish your body. I bought some meat some time ago and hid it." It's just that there is not much meat, and she didn't expect that she would be pregnant.
In fact, although Yang Dahua was happy about her pregnancy, she felt that the baby came too early. If it was a year later, she would have earned more money.
Yang Haiyan pushed the food back: "There is enough food at home. If not, I would not bring it. Don't worry about me. You are a pregnant woman and a noble person. Don't worry about things that you shouldn't worry about."
When she was pregnant, relatives, friends and neighbors would send some food, so Yang Dahua didn't refuse. She just looked at the other piece of clothing and couldn't pick it up: "Then I'll take the food, and you take back the clothes."
Yang Haiyan took out the clothes, put them on her and buttoned the front opening: "It's cold in winter, even if you can bear it, the baby in your belly can't bear it. At worst, when I get pregnant, you can give me another one, Sister Dahua. But it has to be made by you. I don't want the ones made by others. Or do you think my clothes are not good-looking?"
Yang Dahua knew that she said this on purpose to make her feel at ease to accept it. She felt warm in her heart and body. When she was in Yang Mansion, she had two or three maids who were good friends with her. But something happened in Yang Mansion, and everyone was betrothed to different military camps. She and Haiyan were the only ones left. At the beginning, she wanted to keep a distance from Haiyan, but she didn't expect that after getting to know her, she found that Haiyan had changed and was easy to get along with.
She thought, maybe it was because she didn't get to know Haiyan much before, so she didn't understand her.
Yang Dahua grabbed Yang Haiyan's hand: "Thank you, Haiyan." She remembered this kindness.
Yang Haiyan also smiled. She didn't have any friends here. She only had Yang Dahua and Lu Saozi, and she cherished this friendship.
When she left Yang Dahua's house, gusts of cold wind blew. Even if she was wrapped from head to toe, she still felt cold to the bone. This journey only took a few minutes, and she wanted to run home immediately.
Yang Dahua was in a very good mood after Yang Haiyan left. She was reluctant to wear the clothes Haiyan gave her, but the clothes were padded and warm, and she didn't want to take them off. Just like Haiyan said, you can wrong yourself, but you can't wrong your children.
Han Zhen came in and saw her wearing a blue shirt. He thought it looked good. It made her ordinary look more beautiful. He stepped forward and said, "This color suits you."
Yang Dahua thought for a moment. She seemed to have never seen Haiyan wearing this color before. Haiyan had fair skin. She mostly wore pink, white, goose yellow and bright red clothes. This color suited her skin tone. Could it be that this was made especially for her? Although she thought so, Yang Dahua was happy to be praised by her man. She smiled and said, "Haiyan gave it to me. Does it look nice?"
Han Zhen said, "It looks nice. She is really nice to you."
Yang Dahua said with some pride, "We are from the same place and have no relatives, so we are sisters. When Haiyan has her own children in the future, I will also make some clothes for her children myself."
Han Zhen joked, "If I don't make clothes for her, she will be fine." ?”
Yang Dahua glared at him: “Haiyan doesn’t lack clothes, and she may not like the style of the clothes I make, but for children, they should be made of good materials and worn close to the body, and they don’t care about the style.”
Han Zhen immediately agreed: “Yes, yes, everything my wife said is right.”
When Yang Haiyan returned home, Uncle Hong had already returned from the countryside and had collected some eggs and chickens. Because eggs are durable in winter, they were collected quite a lot.
Yang Haiyan stood in the yard and called to Sister Lu: “Sister Lu…Sister Lu, can you hear me? If you can , come over.
” Sister Lu responded from home: “I can hear you, I’m coming.” She ran over from home, just a few steps away, her nose was already red, and her breath turned into mist. This weather was really torturous.
Mrs. Lu came into the kitchen, shrank her body, snorted a few times at her hands, and then rubbed her hands: "Haiyan, what's the matter?"
Yang Haiyan hurriedly handed her the hand stove and pointed to the basket on the ground: "I asked Uncle Hong to go to the countryside to collect eggs. Do you want them?"
Mrs. Lu saw the eggs when she came in. She was thinking about asking for them, but after hearing what Yang Haiyan said, how could she refuse them: "I was worried that the eggs at home had been eaten up, and the children had no vegetables to nourish their bodies. The bacon alone would not do. The eggs you collected were just in time."
In fact, she had stockpiled a lot before winter, but because too many eggs would go bad, no matter how much she stocked, it would only be enough for one month, and they had all been eaten up by now. "Are eggs more expensive in winter than usual?" Usually, they cost one cent each, and you can choose the size you want. Now, I guess no one cares about the size. It's good to have egg wine.
Yang Haiyan: "Uncle Hong asked people he knew to buy them. No matter the size, they cost two cents each. I told him to buy as many as he could. Even if my family can't eat that much, our neighbors can give some back."
Sister Lu: "That's right. Haiyan, you are thoughtful. I want sixty."
Yang Haiyan: "You choose."
Sister Lu: "I'll go home and get a basket."
Sister Lu took the basket and came over without choosing. She just picked sixty eggs from the visible part. She was not an ignorant person. When Haiyan collected them, she couldn't choose, so she naturally couldn't do it either.
After Sister Lu gave the money and left, Yang Haiyan said to Nanny Lian, "Nanny, go and ask the remaining centurions if they want eggs. If they do, they can come to our house to buy them. Also tell them that we charge two cents for an egg. Pick out thirty eggs and send them to Centurion Han's family. If Sister Dahua gives money, she can accept them."
Nanny Lian: "Yes, I understand."
Not long after Nanny Lian left, several women came over. They were all relatives of the centurions under Qin Fang. Centurions only received one or two silver coins per month, so they naturally did not have the conditions to buy a donkey cart like Yang Haiyan and ask people to go to the countryside to collect eggs. They were also like Mrs. Lu, who had eaten up all the eggs they had stored, so they were very happy that Yang Haiyan had eggs. Besides, after living here for a long time, they knew the prices of these things very well.
The one walking in front was Mrs. Yang Baifu. As soon as she came in, she bowed to Yang Haiyan and said, "Congratulations to Mrs. Qin first. Our family is worried about not having eggs to eat. Your eggs are a timely rain."
Yang Haiyan had an impression of her. After Qin Fang and Han Zhen, Yang Baifu was the third best kung fu player in their team. Besides, she looked cheerful, she was more well-behaved than the average centurion's wife. Speaking of which, since Qin Fang became the captain of a thousand men, this wife of Yang Baifu was the first person to salute her.
Yang Haiyan stepped forward and helped her up: "Why are you so polite? Our men are all colleagues and brothers, and we are like sisters, we are all family. I also thought that I needed eggs for my family, so I asked people to collect more, but I was afraid that everyone would think I was meddling." Mrs.
Yang Baifu and Yang Haiyan had never met before. It was only the day after Qin Fang became the captain of a thousand men that she came to congratulate him. But at that time, the documents from the Ministry of War had not been issued yet, and Qin Fang's position as the captain of a thousand men was not formal, so Yang Haiyan said that she would invite everyone to sit down after the documents from the Ministry of War were issued, so until now, she has not invited anyone.
It can't be blamed on Yang Haiyan, mainly because the yard is too small, she planned to wait until the Qianfu's house, the second courtyard, to invite everyone before the New Year.
Mrs. Yang Baifu thought that this young Mrs. Qin was really good at talking. In fact, in private, they all thought that Mrs. Qin was lucky. She used to be a maid, and later she was betrothed to the centurion and became a good citizen. It has only been a few months, and the centurion has become a thousand-man commander. Isn't this a good fate?
However, it is actually hard to say who is lucky and who is prosperous. Because everyone can see that since Mrs. Qin came into the family, Mr. Qin's life has improved. People who used to eat three meals a day in the barracks now have someone deliver meals every day, and there are meat dishes every meal. More importantly, Mrs. Qin is not spending Mr. Qin's money. Mrs. Qin can make money by opening her own shop, and she can also make money from the things she embroiders. So, who is lucky, who is prosperous?
Then another centurion's wife spoke up: "Mrs. Qin, when are you planning to move to the Qianfu's house?"
Yang Haiyan: "We plan to move there on the sixth or seventh day of December. I hope you will come to have dinner then."
Several centurion wives said: "Of course, of course."
They bought chicken in the morning, so they naturally had chicken soup at noon. They cooked chicken soup noodles. Yang Haiyan didn't eat it herself, but served a bowl of eggs to each servant. Unfortunately, Qin Fang recently changed his duty time with a centurion, and he was on duty at night during this period. In this way, he was in the barracks during the day and at night, so he couldn't drink chicken soup. Chicken soup noodles with mushrooms tasted so good that Yang Haiyan drank two bowls.
After drinking the chicken soup, she stood up with her belly bulging in her long cotton quilted hoodie. After standing for a while, she heard Aunt Yu's voice in the yard: "Master is back." Speaking of Aunt Yu, she has been very hardworking since she came to the house. As long as she and Qin Fang have clothes to change, she will wash them as soon as possible. She also remembered her words very clearly and washed the clothes separately. The house is usually cleaned every day. She doesn't talk much and is almost silent, but she rushes to work, fearing that she will be sold out if she has no work.
For this reason, Yang Haiyan also went to Doctor Wang to buy medicated oil for winter use to prevent her hands from getting frostbite.
When Yang Haiyan heard her voice, she hurried out of the house. Qin Fang had already entered the yard and was unloading the goods.
Yang Haiyan came forward curiously: "Husband, why are you back? What's this?" A fishy smell, "Is it river fish?"
Qin Fang looked at her, wrapped in a dark red long cotton tent, like a snow doll. He couldn't help but think she was so cute and delicate, and wanted to pinch her face with his cold hands, but he couldn't bear to do it.
Without waiting for Qin Fang to answer, Yang Haiyan said again: "Such big river fish, so many." Each one weighed two or three pounds.
Qin Fang said: "I was on duty last night. After breakfast, I took everyone to the river to break ice and fish." In winter, the fish will rest and are less active. If you choose a good place, you can indeed catch a lot with one fishing net.
Yang Haiyan looked at Qin Fang with sparkling eyes: "Husband, you are so amazing."
Qin Fang raised the corner of his mouth, then pressed it down. He hummed: "In this weather recently, fresh meat is not available. You must be greedy." How can she not be greedy for someone who likes to eat good food so much?
Yang Haiyan realized that it was for her, so she felt guilty for drinking chicken soup until her stomach was swollen. "Husband, have you had lunch?" She changed the subject.
Qin Fang: "Not yet, we have to share these fish with other centurions."
Yang Haiyan: "You go to eat, I will share, how many fish should each household get?"
Qin Fang: "Divide it equally, everyone has worked together, don't leave any for Han Zhen." This kid is lucky to have a rest today, he doesn't have to work hard today and is waiting to eat.
Yang Haiyan: "I know. Nanny Lian, get some food for the lord. Aunt Yu, go to the busy yard and ask Uncle Hong and Aunt Hong to share the fish... Call everyone over, and wash the fish."
Aunt Yu: "Yes."
Qin Fang went into the house, Nanny Lian said: "My lord, I'll make you chicken soup noodles, hurry up, the noodles are still ready."
Qin Fang: "Okay."
While Nanny Lian was going downstairs, Qin Fang came out again, watching Yang Haiyan's clumsy body walking around, and couldn't help laughing. Women love beauty, so they won't make themselves so fat even in winter. His wife naturally loves beauty, but she can dress herself so fat, which shows that she is really cold.
Qin Fang walked to her: "Is it good?" His voice was gentle, and his tall figure was really different. No one could think of a cold man who would speak such a gentle person.
In fact, Qin Fang was so cold when he came to the military service.
Seeing him over, Haiyan couldn't help but take a few steps. She stabbed her nose: "You have a smell on your body, all of them are stuck, but don't be stained with me." Women sometimes look like a sister, sometimes like a sister, men sometimes look like a son, and sometimes like a brother.
Over
-the -time, you can call him touched. Sometimes he is full of manliness, just like when he came back from riding a horse that day.
Qin Fang was despised and felt wronged: "Then I'll go take a shower?"
Yang Haiyan: "You have to go back later? What are you going to take a shower for?"
Qin Fang: "No, I'm not going back. I've dealt with the matter. I will be back to my team from tomorrow, so I'll still be on duty during the day and take a break in the afternoon."
Yang Haiyan heard it and said: "Then let's drink fish soup tonight."
Qin Fang: "Okay."
Yang Haiyan: "It's a pity that there is no tofu. Tofu fish soup is delicious." And she couldn't take out the tofu in her platform. Now there are more people at home, and the electrical appliances she bought before are still in the platform. Maybe she will have to deal with them second-hand someday. Then Yang Haiyan said, "I counted them, there are 126 fish in total, including our family, there are 11 households in total, right?"
Qin Fang: "No, there are 7 households in total, and the other 4 households are living in the military camp, and their families are not here."
Yang Haiyan: "Then each household will get exactly 18 fish."
Just as he was talking, Aunt Yu, Uncle Hong and others came back: "Madam, sir."
Yang Haiyan: "Uncle Hong, divide the fish here into 7 households, 18 fish per household, and send them to those centurions." A fish weighed two or three pounds, and the women couldn't carry it, so Uncle Hong had to carry it. Uncle Hong used to be a hunter, so he was very strong.
Uncle Hong: "Hey, send it right away."
Uncle Hong went to deliver the fish to each household, and Aunt Fan and Aunt Yu began to wash the fish.
Nanny Lian: "Sir, the noodles are ready."
Qin Fang returned to the kitchen and looked at the chicken soup noodles, thinking that his wife's life was not as hard as he thought, and there was still chicken soup to drink.
Yang Haiyan followed him to the kitchen and saw the chicken soup and explained with a guilty conscience: "Uncle Hong just went to the countryside to collect eggs and chickens this morning. Some eggs were distributed to the centurions. Two chickens were collected. We ate one today. The other one is kept in the cellar of the busy courtyard. It can only be kept in the cellar for a few days, not for a long time. I originally planned to wait for you to come back to drink it, but you came back today and ate this chicken too." Meaning, I didn't hide it from you and drank the chicken soup secretly.
Qin Fang looked at her pitiful look and said generously: "If you like, eat that one too. I'm not particular about food." He just wanted to fill his stomach.
Yang Haiyan insisted: "No, how can I eat alone without your knowledge?" At worst, after eating, she could ask Uncle Hong to go to the countryside again.
At noon, several people in the family finished chicken soup, and at night they had a fish feast. Without tofu, Yang Haiyan also thought of several ways to eat it. In addition to braised and scallion oil, the most fragrant one is... grilled fish.
There is a grill pan at home, so the grilled fish was served directly. Although the ingredients are not enough, people who have never eaten grilled fish can't stop praising it after eating it.
There are two tables in the kitchen, one for Qin Fang and one for Yang Haiyan. Nanny Lian, Aunt Fan, Aunt Yu, Uncle Hong, Aunt Hong, they sat at another table, although it was a bit crowded, but it was also quite lively. Yang Haiyan didn't mind sitting with them, but they remembered their duties and didn't dare to sit together. And now that Qin Fang is an officer and has a rank, they will not sit together even more.
After dinner, Yang Haiyan asked Aunt Fan and others to sort out the fish meat and make fish meatballs and fish slices. Tomorrow morning everyone will have fish slice porridge and tomorrow night they will have fish balls. As
soon as she said that, everyone was looking forward to tomorrow morning.
In the evening, Yang Haiyan took a hot bath in the bathroom. After taking a bath, she immediately wrapped herself in a cotton-padded sleeping bag and got into the quilt. The warmth of the cotton-padded sleeping bag can be compared with a down jacket.
Qin Fang was not afraid of the cold and read a book in the room for a while. The family was financially well-off and the oil lamp was lit. When the time was about right, Qin Fang went to take a shower. After taking a shower, Qin Fang looked at Yang Haiyan, who was wrapped like a cocoon, and couldn't help but take action: "I'll warm the stove for you, take this thing off." In Qin Fang's eyes, this was just a thing, a sleeping bag, this ugly thing didn't deserve a name.
Qin Fang was very strong, and Yang Haiyan did not dare to resist, for fear of tearing her cotton-padded sleeping bag. Besides, her man had not been home for several days, and she could still smell the fragrance of his arms while sleeping in the sleeping bag. She cooperated and let him take off the sleeping bag, looking ready to do whatever he wanted.
Qin Fang threw her cotton-padded sleeping bag out, and then took her into his arms. He hugged her tightly and asked mischievously, "Am I warmer or is that thing warmer?"
Yang Haiyan: "Of course you are warmer, my husband is the warmest." "
Qin Fang was happy as long as she said nice things. However, he was not satisfied with just hearing nice things now. He claimed that he had tasted her lip balm and touched her last time, and he had been thinking about her all day. Before this, because he had promised her that they would not have the wedding night before she was eighteen years old, he did not dare to be unrestrained in sleeping and had to behave properly.
But now, his Ren and Du meridians were unblocked.
Qin Fang hugged her, and his hands became unruly: "Yan Yan, I want to touch it."
Not sure if all men like to touch women's breasts, but Qin Fang likes it anyway.
Yang Haiyan struggled to protest: "No, no, it will make them bigger. "She didn't want to become a girl with big breasts.
But Qin Fang would never listen to her.
The next day
Yang Haiyan hadn't gotten up yet. When Qin Fang had eaten fish porridge early in the morning and was about to go to the military camp, Han Zhen came. Han Zhen came to take advantage of the opportunity to go to the military camp with Qin Fang. But before leaving, Han Zhen asked Yang Haiyan to visit their home once a day to prevent Yang Dahua, a pregnant woman, from having an accident. That would be a disaster. Yang Haiyan would naturally not refuse.
On the way, Han Zhen said, "When are you free? Let's go to the mountains to harvest some crops?"
Qin Fang had already planned this. He wanted to buy a gift for his wife but had no money. When Han Zhen mentioned it, he said directly, "Let's go in two days. We went to cut ice today. Let's take a break for two days. "
Han Zhen: "Don't bring too many people. You, me, and Brother Lu and Brother Yang are enough?"
Qin Fang couldn't help but hum.
Han Zhen explained: "My wife is pregnant. Although I have saved some money in the past two years, I am afraid it will not be enough because she will have to spend money on everything after the baby is born. She still remembers my brother and sister-in-law's snack business and wants to sell it in the county. How can I, a grown man, let her, a woman, worry about money?"
Qin Fang understood that he wanted to hunt and make money. However, when he heard that Yang Dahua was pregnant, Qin Fang thought that if his wife was pregnant, she would give birth to a beautiful girl like her, fragrant and soft... He felt happy just thinking about it. "Okay, just call Brother Lu and Brother Yang. "
The matter was settled, and Han Zhen relaxed.
Yang Haiyan and Yang Dahua didn't know what their husbands were planning. She would ask someone to send goat milk to them every morning, and when the milk was sent to them, they would remind them that after drinking the goat milk, they should save the eggs for lunch, because eating goat milk and eggs together was not conducive to the absorption of nutrients.
Two days later, Qin Fang and several others arrived at the military camp early in the morning, and then Qin Fang asked General Ao for leave to go hunting. The hunting hill was close to the military camp. If there was anything in the military camp, they would be able to see it as soon as the signal was sent. Besides, it was broad daylight, and the enemy would not attack at this time.
So General Ao approved it very straightforwardly. In fact, when there was no war to fight, the military camp was still Relaxed.
A quarter of an hour later, Qin Fang, Yang Baifu, Lu Baifu, and Han Zhen, a total of four people, took their weapons and went out. Qin Fang's weapon was a knife. He was tall and strong, and he could use the knife with great force. Most people couldn't stop his knife. In comparison, Han Zhen used a sword, Yang Baifu also used a knife, and Lu Baifu used a gun.
From the barracks to the nearby mountain, with the four people's walking speed, the speed was naturally fast, and they arrived in less than a quarter of an hour. After arriving, Qin Fang ordered them to rest for a while before taking action.
During the rest time, Qin Fang arranged matters: "Everyone should look for traces of prey separately, and remind teammates immediately if there is any situation. It is winter now, and some animals hibernate, but some animals may not be able to bear the hunger and will come out to find food."
"Yes. "
In the early years, there were many mountains nearby, so there were many prey on the mountains. However, year after year, these prey were scared by the soldiers and hid in the mountains and dared not come down. Although they are animals, they are sometimes very smart.
However, if you dare to go deep into the mountains, you can find prey, but ordinary soldiers dare not go into the mountains. Although Qin Fang and others divided into four groups to look for prey, they did not divide too far apart. If something happened, they could catch up with each other in the first time. And with their kung fu, even if they encountered the king of the forest, the tiger, they could fight alone. Unless they encountered a group, they could support their teammates to catch up. If they can't beat them, they can still hide.
Military camp
At 3:00 p.m., the soldiers at the back door of the military camp saw Qin Fang and his companions coming back. There were four of them, and they were carrying three preys, each of which was very large, which surprised the soldiers at the back door.
"Master Qin, you are back, and the preys are really big. "Two wild boars and one deer. I don't know how they found them. The three of them must weigh more than 1,400 kilograms in total.
The barracks toilets collect game, and the price is cheaper than outside. It doesn't make sense for the soldiers to give the game to the toilet for free, and then give it to everyone for free. Moreover, the dishes in the toilet are also charged. It should be said that the free dishes are only a part of it. If you want to eat other dishes, you need to pay more money to buy them. However, the toilet does not make money, and all the sales are at capital.
Qin Fang and others went directly to the toilet. They went to the toilet of District 18. Some soldiers from District 18 saw them and immediately came up to them.
"Lord Qin, you are great. You went hunting without asking us. "Zhang Baifu also saw it. He had just returned from patrolling with his men, and when he saw so much meat, he was drooling.
Yang Baifu: "You can go in a team. We just got the urge to go because we were hungry."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Baifu hurriedly called on others to discuss hunting another day. None of them would be afraid to go hunting in a team.
The logistics soldiers of the team ran out, their eyes lit up when they saw the meat: "Sir Qin, are you selling all this meat to the team? "A few days ago, other teams also received prey, but not as much as Lord Qin and his men.
Qin Fang: "Yes, cut out 100 kilograms for the more than 1,000 soldiers in our Eighteenth District to cook meat soup, and each person will get one or two ounces of meat. In addition, cut out 40 kilograms of venison, and the rest will be paid for."
When the soldiers in the Eighteenth District heard this, they immediately shouted, "Thank you, Lord Qin."
"Lord Qin is the best."
"We can eat meat today. "
Listening to their cries, Qin Fang also had some subtle feelings in his heart. Once, he was also one of them. The year before he came to serve in the army, his kung fu was average and he was not good at hunting. He was happiest when there was free meat in the team. And now, he saw them happy about the meat, and the feeling in his heart was self-evident.
Before, Qin Fang was just a centurion under the 1000 men in the 18th district, and he was only responsible for the 100 people in his team, but now he is responsible for the 1,000 people in the entire 18th district.
However, seeing them so happy, a sense of responsibility arose in his heart.
