Chapter 211 Don't Waste Food
But even if he regrets this meeting, there is no way out. Leaving halfway will not only make those generals look down on him, but also smear the face of his elder brother and father who are in the officialdom.

The sky was getting darker and the wind was getting stronger. There were no palace lanterns around, but clusters of fires were lit on the ground. These fires could hardly illuminate, and being far away from them, they had no effect on heating.

Huangfu Mohan, who commanded the officials to escort the supplies, saw that Du Jinyi was shivering from the cold, and then glanced at the female relatives at the banquet, and ordered someone to bring a brazier to keep them warm together, and also asked people to distribute thick cotton clothes.

The border is bitterly cold, everyone should have a piece of clothing to keep out the cold. It was not too late and the wind was not strong before. Huangfu Mohan did not distribute clothes to these female relatives in order to exercise their ability to resist the cold. Now the weather depends on them The thin clothes on his body were really unbearable.

He wasn't thinking about these female relatives, he just couldn't see his own woman suffering from the cold.

The palace people handed out coats, and the female relatives were overjoyed. Some people were worried that the clothes were worn by men in the military camp, and there were fleas hidden in them and the smell of sweaty feet, but unexpectedly they were brand new.

The inside of the coat is filled with cotton, which is very thick, and the cover is very warm, which insulates the cold air outside. For a moment, they feel that this pass is not as bitter as they said.

At this time, the officials who turned into logistical soldiers loaded the supplies onto the truck, and then struggled towards the destination.

This destination is nothing more than two laps around the palace wall. Although it is only two laps, the area enclosed by the palace wall is as large as a modern football field. It can be seen that this batch of supplies cannot be touched by them in a short time. .

Furthermore, this journey was not smooth. Huangfu Mohan had already asked people to build a few mounds and dig a few holes on the road that must be passed, waiting for them. The officials drove their carriages to take advantage of the darkness. , If you are not careful, you will fall into the pit, and when you encounter a mound, the carriage will encounter resistance, which seriously affects the process.

But this is nothing, the cold wind blowing in their ears, they were so cold that they were crying, and at this time, the raindrops fell from the sky, hitting them coldly, the feeling was really a biting ice, In addition, the palace people are blowing up the sand quickly along with the wind, and the sand is finely and densely fascinated into people's eyes and hidden in people's mouths, like a lonely ghost suffering in hell.

The officials couldn't stand the cold, so they wrapped the quilts in the supplies around their bodies to keep out the cold.

But when the wind and rain came, the quilt placed on it was wet by the rain. Not only did it not give the slightest warmth to the body, but it was even colder to the bone. Not only that, the soaked quilt seemed to weigh a thousand catties. There is no way to put the quilt back on the car.

The women's relatives were wearing brand-new cotton coats, but the raindrops fell densely, and the cotton coats were soaked in a short while. Even though they were hiding in the viewing pavilion and corridor of Tingyinchi, the rainwater could still Flying on them, the female relatives hiding inside were okay, but the clothes of the female relatives standing outside were soaked by the rain, making them unwearable.

Du Jinyi also put on a cotton coat, but the wind and rain slanted, and she was standing alone at the top with no one to block the wind, so it was not much better.

It is very uncomfortable to be soaked in the rainwater, and it is worn next to the skin. When the wind blows, there is only one thought in my heart, that is, to pass this life quickly.

Du Jinyi didn't have time to think about it. There was a brazier around. She leaned close to the brazier to dry the coarse cloth inside as much as possible, and then used a wooden stick to pull the wood in the brazier.

Although this is the imperial palace, Huangfu Mohan still strictly follows the same treatment as when he was at the border. The brazier is not filled with high-quality gold silk charcoal, but some firewood pulled from outside.

This is exactly what Du Jinyi wanted. She just needed some lime for use, and the ash left by the burning of these logs was what she needed.

Chu Ruqing watched Du Jinyi directly, and when she saw her move, she hurried forward to say hello.

Du Jinyi collected some lime, then wrapped the lime in a cloth, and then took off his coat, letting the dried lime absorb the moisture from the cotton coat.

This trick was barely effective, and the wet parts of his body were quickly sucked dry.

Regardless of whether the coat was dirty or not, Du Jinyi put on the coat again.

Seeing Chu Ruqing coming, some female relatives followed. They were shivering from the cold, and tried to warm themselves by the fire as soon as they came, but a brazier was not enough for everyone to keep warm.

With an idea, Du Jinyi tore off the cloth inside again, then carefully moved the charcoal wrapped in lime onto the torn cloth, wrapped the lime and charcoal carefully, and Du Jinyi tore off another cloth, this time only sprinkled on it. After collecting some lime, he wrapped the cloth and lime together, and finally tied a knot.

Such a simple warm baby is ready.

Du Jinyi gave the warm baby to the female relatives in need, and then bowed his head again to make it.

Chu Ruqing watched Du Jinyi's series of operations, and suddenly understood what the emperor said about the busy 7.

Could it be that Concubine Jin specially made this thing like Mrs. Tang to save the border soldiers from the bitter cold?

No, she has to find another way, think of a way that can make people's eyes shine, so that the emperor will turn his attention to herself.

But what to do, Chu Ruqing glanced at her padded coat, which was almost soaked in rainwater, and then at the "Tang Pozi" made by Du Jinyi, and immediately had an idea.

The officials over there struggled to transport the supplies against the wind, sand and rain. The supplies that were supposed to be delivered in an hour, because they were not familiar with them for the first time, had to wait for three hours before they were delivered.

As soon as the supplies arrived, Huangfu Mohan directed the officials to unload the supplies and set up the tent, and it took another half an hour after this busy work.

Du Jinyi saw that the officials were busy, and she led the female relatives to help.

Finally, the busy work was finished quickly, and Huangfu Mohan also asked someone to prepare a meal.

There is nothing good to eat at the border, but rice porridge with more wild vegetables, a little bit of bacon, and a handful of coarse salt. The dry food is hard corn buns, two for each person. The corn buns are too hard to chew. It is also necessary to break up the steamed corn bread and put it in rice porridge for consumption.

The taste of rice porridge with wild vegetables is not good. Although bacon is added, some people can’t see a little bit of minced meat in their bowls, and some people can’t chew any meat until they eat it. It was dry, hard, salty and bitter. The young ladies who had never tasted any bitterness since childhood couldn't help but spit it out after just one bite.

Huangfu Mo Han glanced over, and reminded lightly, "There is a shortage of food at the border. No soldier or soldier should waste food. If it is light, you will be punished by eating all the things you spit out. If it is serious, you will not be allowed to eat for three days. You have to receive fifty army sticks!"

Hearing this, the person who was about to vomit quickly covered his mouth and swallowed back what was about to be spit out.
