The daily farming life of the black-bellied young lady

Chapter 167 Dear, Your Package Has Arrived
Xu had rested for a couple of days, but on the second day Chu Ying's cold was much better. She helped the chef to move all the cooks to the carriage, and looked at the clay pots that were almost full of the carriage. Clay pots are not suitable for marching because they are not fast and fragile when heated and take up space.

When we arrived at a post house, everyone had a short rest. The head chef took a pen and paper and sat among everyone, "There will be no post house if we go any further. Here is a pen and paper. Everyone, write a letter to your family and wait for the victorious battle to come back." , and then report to the family.” Thirty people only have one pen, so Chu Ying began to write a draft, first of all, she needs to explain to her family that she is now in this army, and second, she needs to ask Lu Ming for some military supplies.

Chu Ying has told the chef more than once that the army needs an iron pot, and having one can make the cooking speed of the kitchen a qualitative improvement, so that the meal time can be shortened, the marching time can be lengthened, and the marching time of the army can be improved. more time and possibilities.But apart from being surprised by Chu Ying's proposal, the chef could only shake his head.It is indeed unrealistic to make such a suggestion in this era when iron pots are not yet popular.

But if Chu Ying can get an iron pot to show everyone the convenience and practicality of the iron pot, maybe the chiefs in the army will accept her opinion, and when it's Chu Ying's turn to write, Chu Ying writes and writes. He wrote all the things he needed in the letter, and hoped that Lu Ming, who has great powers, would bring him an iron pot.

Although Chu Ying expressed great hope for this letter, it may take several months for this letter to come and go. When Lu Ming brings her an iron pot, it may not be delivered to the place where she marched. , but Chu Ying still held the letter between her palms, wishing silently that it would arrive in Lu Ming's hands soon.

"I don't know if I can come back after this trip, alas..." Looking at the comrades who were a little downcast, Chu Ying wrote the name and address of the letter and put it in the basket, and took out a piece of sharp bamboo that she picked up earlier on the ground Dig two identical holes and build a fire to hang the pots from three staggered logs.

"Now that we are all here, to do things well is to be responsible to ourselves and our family. Instead of sighing and sighing, it is better to practice some basic skills with the boot camp in your free time, so that if we go into battle or our rear is attacked, we will be able to be full-body And retreat."

Everyone looked at this Chu Ying who usually does not speak much and only works with her heart. Although this kid looks young in grades, what she said really made the same sense, "It is already very tiring to cook, wash and cut vegetables every day. Where is it?" There is still time to practice, besides, the team in our kitchen is in the middle position, and even if something happens, it will not be our turn to play."

"If you don't like being tired, then don't practice well. When you are shot or hacked to death by the enemy, you will not be tired. You will never be tired." Chu Ying has long complained about their lazy work attitude, But because I just arrived in the kitchen and my qualifications are still low, I didn't say anything. I can slack off at work, but I attach great importance to life. These stragglers die every minute on the battlefield.

"Yes, this kid is right, go to the new barracks to see, although I know that each of you has a little background, but no one will take care of you here, it would be nice if you can take care of yourself, When the enemy comes, you don’t even have a chance to get up and stop cooking.” The chef cut the dried wild vegetables that others collected into small pieces Put it in a clay pot, add some salt and squeeze a few handfuls, then cover it with a cloth and place it on the carriage.

"Boss, you have experience. How long do you think it will take to get to the front line?" Chu Ying put the polished big knife back into the scabbard. These days, the big knife is used for chopping meat, and it is a bit like killing chickens. It means to use a sledgehammer.

"It's hard to say. If it was the original army, it would probably take half a month to arrive this time. But this time, more than 1 people are almost all recruits. The marching speed is not as fast as that of the veterans. It will take a month anyway. There are many soldiers with blisters on the soles of their feet, how about you? I have needles, I can pick them out for you."

Looking around and at the recruits who are lazy and dragging the team for a long time, it is really difficult to get there quickly. When they get to the front line, these recruits will know that all the foot training is now a life-saving skill. Isn't Chu Ying in the ancient war I understand very well that as far as modern mountain warfare is concerned, it is normal to turn over a few mountains, let alone the [-]-mile long march of the older generation.

"No, I have calluses on my feet, it's fine." In the next few days, other people in the kitchen who carried some guys on their backs could no longer support their belongings, so Chu Ying made a big backpack out of rags, and put some horses and chariots in it. Everything that doesn't fit is carried on the back.

The head cook looked at Chu Ying, who was still walking steadily step by step with a weight of nearly 70 kilograms on his back, and looked at the queue that was getting longer and longer behind him. I’ve been carrying it for a day, let me do it, it’s so heavy. Put it on the carriage when there’s a place on it.”

"It's okay, I'm used to it. I'd better give the space above the carriage to the sick. They need it more. I can move on my back." I have trained my foot strength and weight-bearing ability before going hunting in the mountains, and now I want to improve my ability. Chu Sakura cherishes every opportunity to endure hardships. Only by suffering more hardships than others can she run faster and shoot more accurately, allowing herself to have more possibilities.

"Haha, look at that idiot with a big bag on his back. Everyone else thinks he can carry less and take less. This guy actually carries everything on his body. He must be a poor man. He who is bullied by them is used to doing farm work." , A bitch has a mean life, but he just doesn't know how to enjoy it."

Chu Ying knew where the sarcasm was coming from without taking a glance. She sighed lightly, straightened her waist and continued to walk quickly, with some cooking guys on her back, the faster she went to the front of the big team. Cook food for those in front.

"Who is Chu Ying? Who is Chu Ying? Hearing a message." Chu Ying looked at the soldier on horseback calling her name back and forth, and waved her hand happily, looking at the two giants on both sides of his horse seat. The bag, perhaps to deliver fresh meat.

"This is something for you, take a look." Chu Ying put down her backpack, untied the two big bags that were placed on the ground, and was very curious whether there was such a developed express delivery industry in ancient times?After unpacking and seeing a few bundles and three large iron pots inside, Chu Ying realized that this was a good thing sent to her by the almighty Lu Ming.

"What is it?" When Chu Ying stopped to check the package, other people also leaned over and surrounded herself inside.

"Sent from home? Why didn't my family send it? Why didn't I think of asking my family to send something? How much does it cost to send it? This big brother?"

"100 taels, open up various post stations, transport day and night, change people and horses, this is not to send things anywhere, but to send things along the front line, it doesn't matter if you have money or not. And this letter, farewell." Chu Ying looked at the postman who was coming and going like a gust of wind, and then looked down at the things in front of him. At this moment, he felt as if his heart had been stabbed dozens of times. He shook his head and sighed, Lu Ming really She is a super invincible prodigal old lady, and she spent 100 taels for such a small gift, which is enough to buy a half-iron pot.

Some people who were still yelling immediately shut up. "What are you doing? It's not time to eat yet. What are you doing together? If you say you can't walk, you will walk slowly. Is this gathering together to defy the military order? I haven't dealt with anyone yet, is it?" Who has the guts to fight against me?" Yan Qin raised his whip high and lashed at a group of people.

All of a sudden, the crowd on the inner, third and outer floors dispersed, and only Chu Ying was left in the middle, arranging things, "You, you boy, what are you doing here if you don't march? Do you want to eat the whip or be in the army?" Stick? Lao Tzu has such a violent temper, so you don’t want to give me a good face, do you?”

Chu Ying looked at Yan Qin who was baffled and said a series of tongue twisters without panting. She was not frightened by the bag full of gold leaves she saw just now, but she was also frightened by the flat roar. , quickly fasten that package.
