Traveling through the Three Kingdoms: She brings unlimited supplies to build infrastructure

Chapter 23
"Uncle Ding, look, is that so?" He Zhou nervously fiddled with the clothes he had just handed out.

Li Ding stood nearby. It was his first time to come into contact with such clothes, and he felt anxious and excited at the same time.

A team of 150 horses dragged everything back from the valley in one morning.

They were ordered to assemble in the school grounds.

Packs of clothes marked with large, medium and small characters and wrapped in yellow oil paper were distributed to them.

When measuring body and shoe sizes a few days ago, Li Ding felt the black robe on his body and had a guess. Maybe he would give them a pair of good shoes?Good shoes as thick as this black robe?

Li Ding was startled by his guess. He felt that he was a little too greedy.

Since setting up camp in the deserted village, the boys in the group are young after all, and their complexion has improved visibly to the naked eye.

According to the newly issued health regulations in the military, you must wash your face morning and night every day, and brush your teeth with plant ash on your fingers. Some of the slovenly men in the army actually looked a bit better.

Mrs. Gongsun also gave them a comb that looked like gold but not gold, and looked like jade but not jade. She gave them to the corps leader to keep them and comb their messy hair every day.

Now they have two meals of dried noodles a day, with some salt in each meal, and horse meat every two days.

Plus a solid thick robe.

A few days ago, I learned that Mrs. Gongsun was in charge of military supplies and internal supplies, and the criticism immediately disappeared a lot.

I don’t think there are any women involved in military affairs?

But now they all feel that women are so good!
Women are generous and attentive.

How could a man be so considerate of everything and even pay attention to the hygiene of these big-headed soldiers?

With the temperament of the previous chief officials, how could they be fed so well and clothed so warmly?
If they are well fed and clothed on weekdays, how can they motivate the soldiers to sacrifice their lives with a full meal and a piece of meat during war?
The human heart is short, and after having a good warm robe, it wants a pair of good shoes.

After measuring the shoe size, Li Ding always had a trace of expectation that even he himself despised.

It would be nice if they sent out another pair of good shoes.

His thin-soled boots were so worn that his toes were exposed, and they were wet and cold in the slush, so he knitted straw sandals and put them on.

Seeing that the snow was going to stop today, they should set off again. Just when their secret expectations were about to come to nothing, they received an order to move supplies to the valley.

Finally, in the school field, they received a complete outfit!Not just a pair of shoes!But brand new clothes and shoes from head to toe!
Captain Zhao said that it was a reward given to everyone by Lady Gongsun.

Li Ding took a breath and focused his attention on the pile of things in front of him.

He picked up one of them and carefully opened it, revealing a pair of strange-looking but thick and solid black shoes visible to the naked eye.

Picked up another one.

This time it was a pair of thick cotton crotchless pants that were slippery and rustled on my hands.

"Uncle Ding, don't be in a daze!"

He Zhou stood by the bonfire in the newly renovated barracks, clumsily putting on clothes that were strange in shape but soft to the touch.

"Do you want to die?" Official Ding realized that the boy was so excited that he took off his clothes and only wore a calf's nose skirt.

What's the temperature outside, and what if I get cold?
Official Ding gave him a hard kick without any courtesy, and then quickly helped him put on his clothes as instructed by Shangguan.

Thermal underwear is worn close to the body, and then they put on these labor protection cotton pants, then put on their military uniforms, armor, and thick black robes.

Finally putting on the Velcro-fastened shoes, He Zhou moved his body in novelty and excitement. "It's so warm!" He walked around the barracks, wearing thermal underwear that was close-fitting and comfortable.

The thick and solid cotton pants were completely different from what they had worn before. They were a little tight, and the cold air that usually circulated everywhere was almost completely isolated.

The heavy high-top protective shoes wrapped around his feet, giving him an unusual sense of security!
He Zhou rushed outside and found many people like him standing in the snow.

From ancient times to the present, the happiness of people, especially men, has always been so simple.

Everyone stepped excitedly in the snow until the fluffy snow turned into slush.

They don't get wet when exposed to water like cloth shoes, and they don't get cold to the bones like straw sandals. The feet step on the thick soles and are wrapped in soft and tight socks, making them warm and comfortable.

Not sure who started it, everyone started laughing loudly.

Simple joy began to spread, and soon the soldiers' camp was filled with laughter.

The barracks in the deserted village camp were not far apart according to the layout of the old buildings in the village. How could the main camp not hear the movement of the soldiers' barracks?

Gongsun Yan was sitting in the kitchen. She listened to the laughter in the distance, and a smile appeared on her face.

She worked with Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan to re-draw the logistics supply process, soldier roster, etc. Although it was cumbersome, it was far from being so burdensome that she had no time to take care of Gongsun Cheng's food problem.

She gave the soldiers noodles because they were durable and easy to carry. How could she let Gongsun Cheng eat boiled noodles every day?

So they secretly bought rice, grains, meat and eggs, and the siblings and Tian Kai, who had recently shown signs of awakening, started a small stove in the small courtyard.

Zhao Yun usually ate with the soldiers, and was only willing to accept the nutritional supplements provided by Gongsun Yan and treat him as an officer. Gongsun Yan proposed to open a small stove together, but Zhao Yun refused. Only Xiahou Lan often had the shamelessness to drink meat porridge with Gongsun Cheng.

Gongsunyan felt a little distressed when he saw Zhao Yun eating salted noodles every day like a soldier, so he often stuffed him with snacks and meat.

It can be seen that he likes it, but he is extremely restrained and only tastes it briefly.

No matter how much Gongsun Yan gave him, he would only eat one or two of them. The rest would be given to Xia Houlan, Wang Wu and others, or as extra meals for his soldiers.

Never indulge your desires.

In contrast, Gongsun Yan is a person who will never treat him badly under conditions.

She first had two carriages with sheds built again. With her providing a full set of tools, several carriages were not a big problem, but the comfort level might be a little worse.

Hanging a heavy windshield curtain, putting thick cushions on the seats, and buying a small copper stove, she and Gongsun Cheng could lay down the cushions and sleep in the carriage at night. Not to mention very comfortable, at least Stay warm without worry.

Seeing that the camp was about to be set off, she had to prepare some more meat porridge and soup for Gongsun Cheng and Tian Kai.

Even if she could open fire on the march, she would not cook meat with strong aroma like she did in the small courtyard.

The soldiers ate salt water, and no one would question their eating meat. Class was here, but Gongsun Yan didn't want to be too special on the surface.

Being separated from the masses and engaging in special activities will not end well. This is what countless predecessors have told the world with their blood.

What she eats in private does not affect her public attitude of sharing joys and sorrows with the soldiers.

The horsemeat porridge that has been cooked in advance is frozen in the snow and divided into small pieces, and then stored. When eating, it can be heated in a small stove without being conspicuous.

The carriage and food were ready, Gongsun Yan packed the luggage in the room and was ready to set off.

The snow is about to stop!
