Although there's plenty of water in the bathtub, if there's too much foam, then you can only rinse with cold water, and that old guy definitely won't like hot water.
Upon hearing what she said, Xiao Yubai picked up the toiletries and examined them. He quickly learned how to use them, and after washing up, he put his robe back on.
"Madam, I'm done washing up, please come in!"
An Shuyi put the light bulb away and went into the cave. "Pour out the water from the bathtub and rinse it clean!" she instructed before sitting on the stool and waiting.
"Yes, madam." He lifted the bathtub and dumped it outside, then carried water out to rinse it clean before carrying it back.
They put the bathtub and bucket into the storeroom, followed by the toiletries and a stool. "Let's go back to sleep."
"Madam, the cloak!" Is she drunk? She's so confused.
"Oh!" He took out a cloak from the warehouse and put it on.
Xiao Yubai tied the cloak straps, picked her up, and headed towards the camp, using his light-footed skills the whole way.
The guards saw him return and tried to salute, but he stopped them. He carried the sleeping lady into the camp, carefully placed her on the bed in the tent, untied her cloak, and covered her with a blanket.
After clearing the things off the table next to her, the lady covered herself with her cloak and went to sleep.
The next morning, he got up, instructed the soldiers to keep watch over the tents, and then left to train the soldiers.
They didn't return to their tent until noon. "Madam, are you awake? How did you sleep last night?"
An Shuyi woke up early this morning but didn't see him. She knew he must be busy, so she lay in bed reading a novel until now.
"Slept well."
"It's good that you slept well. The soldiers will bring your meals soon. Please wait a moment, Madam." After saying that, she took the clothes out of the bucket and continued to hang them out to dry.
After he hung the clothes to dry, the soldiers brought over the food. He took it from them and then carried it into the tent. "Madam, it's time to eat."
Looking at the food he brought, she asked, "Is this all you eat?" Is the food too bad? There are only grains, some vegetable soup, and some boiled meat, and that's it.
I took a basin out of the warehouse to wash my face and brush my teeth. I fixed my hair and wanted to change my clothes, but he was still here, so I didn't.
"That's all. The chef wanted to make something for me separately, but I refused. So, this is all he made. Please be patient for a couple of days, Madam. The chef from the capital will arrive tomorrow."
He wanted to do it himself, but he was too busy and didn't have the time!
An Shuyi nodded. Anyway, she wouldn't go hungry. There was still food in the warehouse, and the food was already quite good, with meat and vegetables.
Sitting in the chair, she picked up the bowl and tasted a mouthful of rice. She finally understood why Xiao Yubai hadn't agreed to let the cook prepare it separately. After all, the rice was undercooked, so it was no wonder it couldn't be cooked properly.
"Madam, you still have food there. Eat that. When the cook comes, have him cook for you and teach the other cooks in the camp." With that, she picked up her bowl and started eating.
Seeing that he was eating well, An Shuyi didn't eat. It wasn't that she disliked it, but she felt uncomfortable all day after eating it. She took out a bowl of wontons from the storeroom and asked, "Do you need me to get you a bowl?"
"No need, Madam can eat it. We shouldn't waste food."
"Okay, you eat it!" I knew he wouldn't.
After finishing his meal, Xiao Yubai took his bowl and chopsticks and left. "Madam, I have other matters to attend to this afternoon. Would it be alright if you stayed in the tent?"
"I'll take you out to play after I've calmed down a few days." He also wanted to take his wife out to play, but there were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with at the camp. Those barbarians would attack every now and then, which was really annoying.
"Go ahead, I'll stay here." Although she liked to make things difficult for people, she also knew the priorities.
"Then I'll go. If Madam needs anything, just tell the soldiers outside."
"Um."
After he left, An Shuyi continued reading her novel. He didn't return until dark, and this continued for the next few days. Fortunately, the cook from the capital had arrived at the camp and cooked outside the tents every day.
That day, as soon as she got up, she looked at the person sitting at the table handling things and asked, "Aren't you going out today?"
Xiao Yubai turned around upon hearing the voice, "No need. Those barbarians came to provoke us a few days ago, and we've already beaten them so they don't dare to come again. I can keep Madam company."
"The weather is nice today. How about I take my wife out horseback riding, or perhaps hunting? The hot pot we had last time was quite good; could you sell me some?"
"I want to hunt some game so that the soldiers can all have a taste." Besides him, other soldiers also went hunting.
The meat in their camp was either bought or hunted in the mountains. The soldiers in the camp couldn't eat meat every day; they would only eat it once every few days, or even once a month.
An Shuyi nodded, "Sure, you can go out for a bit, I'll change my clothes and give them to you later."
"Thank you, Madam!"
After he went out, he took out a riding outfit from the warehouse, washed his face and brushed his teeth, and then styled his hair, with only a hairpin in his hair.
"Come in!"
Xiao Yubai entered the tent after receiving instructions. He saw her putting food on the table and hurriedly prepared it. He had been eating coarse grains and vegetable soup for the past few days and could not eat his fill.
Now that we can finally eat our fill and eat well, of course we have to be proactive.
Have you not been eating well these past few days?
"Yes, I've been eating coarse grains and vegetable soup. Madam, look how thin I've become from hunger." He then lifted his clothes to show her.
"Put it down, just say it, why lift your clothes?" She really has no scruples; she's even afraid of getting a sty.
"I was afraid Madam wouldn't know, so I showed it to you." He said, putting his clothes back on before sitting down, a smug look on his face.
Seeing his expression, she took out some more food from the storeroom and said, "Eat up."
She knew the soldiers were suffering. One day at lunchtime, she happened to see them eating: a mixed grain pancake and a bowl of vegetable soup, with little vegetable and much water.
Although the trading system has plenty of food, enough to support not only 100,000 soldiers but even a million, she doesn't trust Xiao Yubai. If she takes out the food, he might lock himself up, leaving her helpless and desperate.
Let's wait and see. If this old guy is really capable, then we'll buy a time travel pass and see what the conditions are. If there are conditions, then he can leave with us, and she can also provide the food.
After all, when the time comes, these soldiers will have to listen to her. If the general listens, how could the soldiers not listen?
After the two finished their meal, they rode away from the camp.
An Shuyi glanced at the people behind her and said, "Your camp is really poor. What, you can't even tell the difference between a horse and a horse?"
Just now, when we were outside the camp, we saw a soldier leading a horse, but she didn't have one. However, there were soldiers all around her, so she couldn't mock him.
Xiao Yubai explained pitifully, "Madam, although our camp has horses, they are all guarded by the soldiers and belong to someone. If they are ridden out, how can I explain it?"
"This is my warhorse. It will be yours from now on. You can ride it. It's very obedient. It can understand anything you say."
