Cloth is coming, the soldiers have new uniforms

He asked for two million catties of food and five million catties of water...

How dare the old man beg for food!

That's not all. The little emperor who had been asking them to defend the city had also sent a secret report, asking them to protect the food. They must not let the barbarians take it away.

Bah~

The Zhan family army had 200,000 soldiers, and they watched as many of them were killed or injured and they were still ordered to defend to the death.

Now that they know there is food, they are asked to guard the food, and it doesn't matter whether the city is broken or not.

Everyone is happy to have food, but they always feel that the little emperor should not know the news so quickly. This secret report may not have been sent by the little emperor.

It was probably someone under Prime Minister Su who stepped in and issued a false order.

Now we don't know what the situation in the court is!

The world is in chaos, and other countries are no less likely.

In addition to asking for food and water, Xu Huai also provided them with a message.

The six countries were suffering from drought, and it had not rained in the south for several months, and the temperature was rising.

All the grain dried up and died in the fields.

The other five countries were trying to raise grain.

If the news of grain in Zhenguan spread, not only the barbarians would want to grab the food, but the armies of other countries would also gather in Zhenguan.

Now conscription, armaments, weapons, and drills are all in full swing.

The barbarians are still stationed ten kilometers outside the city gate, eyeing Zhenguan covetously. They may attack the city at any time!

Just when everyone was left, Zhan Chengyin was about to walk out of the warehouse with a vase.

Crash... countless boxes of instant noodles, ham sausages, self-heating rice, and self-heating pots fell down...

There were too many things, and the warehouse could not store them, so they were poured out from the door one by one.

Several generals stared with wide eyes, looking at the self-heating pot and self-heating rice that they had never seen before.

Chen Kui curiously opened the package and took out a box.

Everyone looked at the simplified Chinese characters, and they could roughly recognize them by guessing.

"General, this rice can be cooked with water!"

Song Duo took out a box and read the instructions.

He was very surprised.

"General, this is a good thing. You don't need to make a fire. You can steam the rice with water. It also comes with a vegetable bag."

"It's very useful for marching and fighting, and long-distance raids. We can just carry a few boxes on our horses."

When the others heard it, they took them all out to see.

Instant noodles are already convenient enough, but they didn't expect the gods to send this thing.

Zhan Chengyin took out a box and opened it for Chen Wu, "Why don't you try soaking it in water?"

Chen Wu untied the gourd around his waist, and the others helped to unpack it and soak it one by one according to the instructions. Sure enough, white mist came out of the self-heating rice box, and the water boiled in the box.

"It's on, the water is boiling."

"What's the principle? Rice that can be heated by itself."

"How long will it take? I want to taste it."

About ten minutes later, the water was no longer boiling, and Chen Wu couldn't wait to open the box.

The white rice was steamed, and the grains were distinct. Try a mouthful with a spoon.

"Delicious!"

Others tried it right away.

"The dishes are rich in flavor, and there are even ham and chicken nuggets. The rice is very fragrant..."

"Although the rice doesn't taste as good as the one steamed by the military camp fireman, it's much better than the bran buns."

"Yes, this is a great weapon for marching and fighting!"

Zhan Chengyin said, "Move out the self-heating hot pot, self-heating pot, and mineral water."

"Send half of the instant noodles and ham to the back alley of the general's mansion, and keep half in the military camp."

"Yes, general."

Zhan Chengyin walked out of the warehouse, and another small note floated down.

"Find a bigger warehouse, or an empty house. I bought a lot of cloth to make clothes for the soldiers."

The soldiers saw that Zhan Chengyin didn't move, "What's wrong, general?"

Zhan Chengyin showed them the note.

They all opened their eyes wide.

"Cloth, is it cloth?"

"Cloth for the soldiers to make clothes, the gods are really thoughtful, they actually gave us cloth."

Chen Kui said: "General, there is room for cloth in my backyard, otherwise where would you put it!"

To be honest, Chen Kui and Chen Wu had just arrived in Zhenguan, bringing hundreds of servants, with a mighty and brutal tyranny.

As soon as they arrived, they requisitioned the house of the richest businessman in Zhenguan and drove the people out. Of course, they also gave money.

But the rich businessman complained to Zhan Chengyin with curses, and Zhan Chengyin beat him with a military stick.

He would rather be beaten than move.

The feud between the two was formed.

Half of Chen Kui's servants were killed or injured, leaving only more than 30 people, and the house was idle.

He said, "If you put it in an empty room, you need to send someone to guard it. Someone may steal it at any time."

"If you put it in my backyard, at least my wife and housekeeper will watch it."

Zhan Chengyin said, "In this case, it's okay..."

You can't go to Chen Kui's backyard empty-handed.

Zhan Chengyin also ordered, "Each of you take a box of instant noodles and a box of ham sausages and send them back home."

The soldiers hurriedly refused.

"No, General. Now our families can line up to get porridge. Our food in the army is better than before. We can't take it anymore."

"Yes, the flour and salt given last time have not been used up."

Zhan Chengyin said, "Take it.

These are the rewards from God."

Sure enough, after Zhan Chengyin finished speaking, another note floated over.

Chen Wu helped pick it up.

He glanced at it and saw that it said,

"The owner of the rice shop will transport a batch of food within three days. You have to prepare a large warehouse. It will start at one million catties!"

Chen Wu almost couldn't hold the note.

He spread his hands and placed them in front of Zhan Chengyin...

Zhan Chengyin glanced at it, and sure enough, the gods would continue to send food.

"Take two boxes each and send them back home."

Everyone stopped shirking their responsibilities, each holding two boxes, and happily returned home first.

Zhan Chengyin and Chen Kui came to his house.

Chen Kui's family has a wife, two concubines, and thirty servants to greet them.

Although everyone was dressed in gray, the wives, concubines, and children were dressed neatly, but the clothes were dirty and not washed.

But most of the servants were wearing clothes full of pudding. Although they were thin, everyone was very energetic and no longer looked lifeless.

Chen Kui handed the instant noodles and ham sausage to his wife.

Seeing this, the children ran over happily, wanting to see what delicious food Daddy brought back.

These two days, Daddy will bring back delicious food.

The first day was a dish of braised pork with good color, fragrance and taste, plus a box of steamed rice.

The next day was roasted lamb legs, a lot of barbecue on bamboo skewers, and a plate of dry pot beef.

Now the children are eagerly waiting for their daddy every day.

Sure enough, he came back with two big boxes today.

Zhan Chengyin said to Chen Kui, "Satisfy the children's cravings."

Chen Kui unpacked the ham sausage and gave each of them one. "Remember, the skin can't be eaten." He opened the instant noodles again, took out three packs and gave them to his wife.

The wife smiled at Zhan Chengyin and took the luggage to the housekeeper to cook.

The housekeeper took the children to the kitchen.

Chen Kui and his wife took Zhan Chengyin to the backyard.

The backyard was indeed spacious.

And the backyard of this house has a large piece of flat land, without a fish pond and rockery steps, which is very suitable for children to play.

Zhan Chengyin nodded, "That's it."

Chen Kui asked the servants to line up for porridge.
