Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 101 Happy Mid-Autumn Festival

"My lord, my lord!"

Meng Yue and Qiu Liming rushed into the handsome tent dripping with mud and water all over their bodies.

They anxiously wiped the rain from their faces and surrounded Xiao Zhuo who was playing chess with Song Zhen.

"My lord, something is wrong."

The two were really worried that Shen Yuexi would be in charge of making bows and arrows.Even if Meng Yue personally supervised it, it would be impossible to make tens of thousands of arrows in three days.It is simply not reliable to let a woman be responsible.It's just that the lord doesn't allow me to ask more questions, and the two of them dare not disobey.

The two of them could still sit still on the first day, but they just asked their sergeants to inquire about the news.The next day I was restless and couldn't even eat well.On the third day, all buttocks were on fire, and they planned to go to the workshop of the pass to check the progress of bow and arrow production.In case Shen Yuexi doesn't make any progress... that's almost certain, the two of them can persuade the lord to run away in time.

Unlike a large army of [-] people, a small army of hundreds of people can run away as soon as they say it.

However, Shen Yuexi is the wife of the lord, if she went there directly in the name of checking the progress, it would be too disrespectful to the lord.The two discussed for a long time and decided to go privately.In order not to attract attention, choose to go at night without a torch to avoid being discovered.

As a result, as soon as they walked out of the camp, it rained suddenly, and the two of them were drowned like chickens.

The two are physically strong and battle-tested, and they don't care.It's just that the road is muddy and slippery, with one step deep and one step shallow, making it difficult to walk.

I came to the factory camp halfway up the mountain in the dark, but found that no one was moving around in the huge camp.There are only dozens of temporary wooden sheds with lights on.

"What's going on?" Meng Yue looked at Qiu Liming, "Old Qiu, didn't you work hard the past two days?"

On the first day, Shen Yuexi and Yang Cong recruited iron ore mining workers from Xiaogang Village and masters who made bows and arrows.The villagers responded one after another and recruited more than 100 people.Those who build sheds, dig mines, push carts, burn charcoal...they are so busy, it really seems like that.

Why did it suddenly die down on the third day?
Qiu Liming looked at the dark field. Dozens of iron ore trucks were parked outside the mine, dripping in the rain.Spades and picks were strewn about in the mud.The stove in the shed was flickering with sparks, flickering on and off.

He wiped the rain off his face with his sleeve and said, "Maybe they are all sheltering from the rain in the warehouse?"

As he spoke, he pouted at the largest work shed in the distance.Unlike other open-air sheds with only one roof, the largest shed is also surrounded by wooden boards, which are windproof and rainproof, which is equivalent to a warehouse.

Meng Yue said: "It's unreasonable. The army of Xirong will arrive tomorrow. If it were me, even if I don't sleep for three days and three nights, I still have to complete the military order of the lord. When it rains, I will stop working..."

Qiu Liming glanced at him: "Military orders are like mountains, except for Madam."

One sentence made Yu Yue roll his eyes, he hesitated for a long time before saying: "There is no arrow, Xi Rong is here, Lao Qiu, you are the first."

Qiu Liming whispered: "Don't say so early, maybe everyone is continuing to work in the warehouse, don't wrong Madam. Let's go to the warehouse to see."

The two braved the rain, hid in the shadows and slipped into the camp, touching the warehouse.

Before reaching the warehouse, Shen Yuexi's voice was heard inside.

"...See, you need to press it down a little bit. But don't use too much force, or it will be crushed. The onion has already learned it. Ask her if you don't understand it."

"Got it, got it." The voices of all the villagers rang out one after another.

Qiu Liming touched Meng Yue who was beside him with his elbow, and said in a low voice: "Did you hear that, Madam didn't waste any time, she's leading everyone to work."

"But what are they suppressing?" Meng Yue asked.

"Stupid, it must be an arrowhead, what else can it be?"

"But the arrowheads are forged by blacksmiths, right? Can this kind of thing still be pressed out?"

While arguing, the two touched outside the warehouse wall, and there was only a board between them, and their voices could be heard more clearly.Qiu Liming looked around and found a small hole for light leakage.Then I went up to look.

The warehouse was brightly lit, surrounded by villagers on three floors.He could only see the backs of the crowd, and couldn't see clearly what happened in the middle.

Shen Yuexi's voice rang out among the crowd again: "Have you suppressed everything?"

"It's done, it's done." Everyone yelled.

"Onion, take someone to roast it. But remember not to use a big fire, the last batch was burnt."

"Okay," Yang Cong said excitedly, "It's the first time I've made such an exquisite one, I'm so excited."

Shen Yuexi smiled and said: "The method is very simple, the main reason is that the mold is carved well. It is all thanks to Master Liu."

A man's voice in the crowd said: "If Mrs. Pei doesn't tell me, I don't know that I, a carpenter, can do this."

mold?

Meng Yue and Qiu Liming outside the wall looked at each other.

Meng Yue asked Qiu Liming in a low voice, "Old Qiu, do you still need a mold to make arrowheads?"

"I don't understand, it's probably a new forging method. That's why my lord asked my wife to be in charge, she..."

Before Qiu Liming finished speaking, the door of the warehouse opened, and a group of villagers rushed out led by Yang Cong.The two hurriedly hid in the shadows, watching everyone walking towards the work shed not far away under umbrellas.

More than a dozen villagers held a plate with both hands, and there seemed to be something on it, which could not be seen clearly in the dark.

The two were curious and wanted to follow up to have a look. Shen Yuexi's voice sounded again in the warehouse.

"Come on, let's make a new batch."

After hearing this, the two of them didn't bother to chase after those villagers, and quickly put their ears on the wooden board to listen carefully.

"Everyone, what are we going to put this time?" Shen Yuexi's voice sounded with a smile.

"Red bean paste, red bean paste," a woman's voice yelled, "my kids love bean paste stuffing!"

Another aunt shouted: "Walnuts, put walnuts, walnuts make up the brain!"

"What are you shouting for? The batch that just came out was stuffed with walnuts, this time put in date paste!" An old man retorted.

Qiu Liming and Meng Yue were taken aback.

Red bean paste, walnuts, jujube paste... These foods have nothing to do with arrowheads.The lord's wife is actually leading everyone... to cook food!
Meng Yue got up and wanted to rush in, but was grabbed by Qiu Liming: "What are you going in for?"

"They delay their work and eat and drink here, and I go in and let them work..."

"Don't don't, we can't interfere in this matter, we have to find the lord."

"Yes, go to the lord, go to the lord!"

After the two talked to Xiao Zhuo with spit, they thought that Xiao Zhuo would definitely be angry after hearing this, and flew into a rage.As a result, Xiao Zhuo didn't even move his eyebrows, put down the tea bowl in his hand, and smiled at Song Zhen:
"So that's how we marched and fought all day long, yet we actually forgot such an important day."

Song Zhen shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "Don't say it's the lord, even I forgot."

Meng Yue and Qiu Liming couldn't figure it out, and looked at Xiao Zhuo in a daze: "Master, what are you talking about?"

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival," Shen Yuexi's cheerful voice sounded outside the tent, "I specially made mooncakes for everyone."

The curtain was lifted, and Shen Yuexi walked in with a plate in one hand.There are dozens of moon cakes with complicated and exquisite patterns stacked on it.

Both Meng Yue and Qiu Liming were dumbfounded.

Calculate the time, right? Today is the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month.They were so preoccupied with the war that they forgot about the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"My left hand is stuffed with walnuts, and my right hand is stuffed with red bean paste." Shen Yuexi put the plate on the table, picked up two mooncakes and put them in front of Xiao Zhuo, "My husband, which one do you like?"

"The right hand." With a smile on his face, Xiao Zhuo took the mooncake from Shen Yuexi's hand.

Shen Yuexi said to other people in the account, "Everyone take it by yourself."

Song Zhen took a piece of mooncake and said with a smile, "I'll eat it first. Playing chess with my lord is exhausting. This walnut stuffing is just right."

"But... but, my lord." Meng Yue and Qiu Liming stammered twice, opened the curtain and rushed out.

It is no problem for Mrs. Madam to make mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but what about bows and arrows?

It's up to the two generals to supervise the craftsmen.

Shen Yuexi embraced Xiao Zhuo's arm and said, "Husband, we have to enjoy the moon and offer sacrifices to the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival. How about we go out to enjoy the moon together?"

Xiao Zhuo nodded.The two snuggled together and walked out of the tent slowly.

The heavy rain outside has long since stopped, and the dark clouds have dispersed, revealing a full moon like a jade plate.The air is moist, with the fragrance of earth.The night wind blows, bringing coolness.

Meng Yue and Qiu Liming stood on the spot like two wooden stakes, watching the endless torches in the north of the camp to form a long dragon, and the villagers and soldiers were pushing the carts to send bundles of crossbow arrows into the camp.

"Four hundred consecutive crossbows, [-] crossbow arrows, delivered as scheduled."

Shen Yuexi smiled and said to Xiao Zhuo: "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"
