Chapter 335
Huo Yunqian thought that Xu Tianxin had a mind that he shouldn't have started.
For a moment, Huo Yunqian still had some inexplicable disappointment in his heart.
But he never expected that even if he was still well-informed, he didn't expect that it would be another business.
Listening to his subordinates, the "villagers" who have been arranged to enter the Erdao River once commented that Xu Tianxin is like a small money string, and Xu Xiaoqian is really not a waste of fame.
……
Mine battalion.
From the outside, it looks more like a private horse farm for a wealthy son of the dynasty.
Dozens of foals grazing merrily.
Hundreds of adult horses are also being trained by special people in the distance.
The stables are built very luxuriously, and even the horses have separate storage houses for grain and grass, facing north and south, which is very transparent. In the event of strong winds and rain, the foal will not be disturbed in any way.
But Huo Yunqian knew in his heart that if he didn't look at the stable like this, presumably his elite soldiers really lived in a place that was not as good as a horse.
This is already the house that Jiubao has built with the most heart.
The moment the military boots stepped into the house, he turned his head and saw the "professional horse trainer", who was actually dressed as an ordinary horse trainer, sitting on a chair holding his feet and cutting his nails.
Huo Yunqian glanced at the slightly familiar nail clippers first.
The elite soldiers on the opposite side were immediately frightened and cut their flesh, and quickly put on their shoes and tidied up the horses' clothes without caring about the bleeding. But after taking care of this, he forgot about anything else when he was nervous, the nail clippers fell to the ground, and the small bag in his arms also fell down, it can be said that the performance of the elite soldiers was slightly more embarrassed than Xu Tianxin's salute before.
At least Xu Tianxin didn't bleed, when people saw Huo Yunqian, no matter when they met, their state was very relaxed.
Seeing the elite soldier kneeling on one knee again, his face turned red and he was about to say hello loudly, plus pleading guilty, but Huo Yunqian raised his hand slightly to stop him.
The elite soldier reacted, thinking: No wonder he didn't hear a little movement, presumably the guards of the general army stopped all the people who were in ambush outside, just to come to a surprise check to see the real situation here.
But the real situation, he is really not very idle.
I haven't cut my nails for more than two months, my fingernails can be gnawed, and my toenails are ...... If you don't cut it again, the shoes will be torn again, and you will have to buy a mille-feuille bottom made by the aunts of Erdaohe Village.
The toenails of the elite young man are actually quite good, and the inability to tear the toenails means that there is no lack of calcium.
Huo Yunqian's temper is still quite good. He has always felt that as long as he is not on the training ground and not on the battlefield, he is also a very gentle general.
As for what his true impression on his men would be, it was not in his consideration.
At this time, Huo Yunqian personally picked up the small bag dropped by the soldier and asked:
"What is this?"
I didn't wait for the other party to answer before I understood, toiletry bag.
Teeth cleaning, soap horns, small brushes to wash the body, and so on.
What is this loofah for, Huo Yunqian looked at the little razor, it should be a foam to trim his beard.
He glanced at the long table by the window again, and thought to himself: everyone has a toiletry bag.
Why did he forget that Xu Tianxin not only sells food, but also sells goods here.
Xu Tianxin said that she is not all about making money, making money is just piggybacking. But if you don't earn it, you will be afraid that people will not dare to accept it, after all, it is easy to collect favors in vain, and it is easy to be psychologically burdened, which is not good for both parties. is even more suspected of taking the opportunity to shoot the general's ass.
As for it? This little thing, will deliberately not need money to use for sycophants? The general is also too easy to shoot.
In fact, there is no need to explain much, he understands, and there is a cost to follow.
Xu Tianxin, the main reason is to let the soldiers here improve their lives, eat and sleep well, rest well, and give the general him more work and good work.
These are Xu Tianxin's original words.
Exceptional.
Therefore, after Huo Yunqian saw the toiletry bag and the environment of the racecourse in front of him, although he was mentally prepared, because of Xu Tianxin's "interference", these subordinates of his
Everyone, I think that the days can indeed be much stronger than he imagined, but when he came to the real mining area, Huo Yunqian's expression remained unchanged, and he was still a little surprised to admit in his heart.
As soon as he stepped into this area, he began to land one after another "camouflage clothes" from the waist of the mountain and the mountain stream, and it was easy to see without Huo Yunqian's eyesight if he didn't look carefully.
At the top of the mountain, someone was already standing up wearing straw hats, and the arrow feathers had already been driven.
Seeing that it was Huo Yunqian, followed by the person leading his war horse, and two teams of guards waving the flag, they immediately stood upright on the top of the mountain and raised their swords to salute.
The first to take the lead in descending from the mountain stream was Jiubao.
At this time, Jiubao was dressed in camouflage clothes and stepped on green mille-feuille shoes, if it could be broadcast live now, the family would find that Jiubao was wearing a modern women's sunhat.
Xu Tianxin deliberately improved it, who made her and the men here have long hair, she knows too well that if she wears a camouflage baseball cap, her hair is thick and long, and if it gets hot again, it will be easy to get lice and it is not easy to wear.
You can't let the men here wear long hair and baseball caps. It's pretty floaty, but it's inconvenient.
Xu Tianxin improved it into a sun hat, that is, the top of the baseball cap is empty, and the front is still a brim. In this way, when it rains or the sun is strong, the soldiers will not block their vision whether they are patrolling or working outside, and they can also protect themselves from rain and sun.
And this "hollow" baseball cap strap, she asked the soldiers to coil their hair, wrap their heads and wrap their heads, and just use the upper and lower four straps to tie the small strap.
Jiubao and the elite soldiers were very excited when they saw Huo Yunqian, and they were striding towards Huo Yunqian.
Jiubao thought to himself: Young master, I thought you threw the small one into the mountain col, so if you don't ignore it, you can come down and take a look at the small one.
Well? Shi'an, it turned out that he didn't plan to replace him this time, Jiubao wanted to cry without tears in his heart.
While Jiubao was walking around, Huo Yunqian also found that the arrow feather bags of his subordinates had changed, and their waist bags had also changed, and their clothes were the same fabric.
Even the waist belt was replaced with a ...... Ruler?
Leave the ruler belt directly exposed.
Huo Yunqian had to admit that when his subordinates came over head-on, they did look a lot neater. This one is also lighter than before, making it easier to hide in the forest.
"This is also sold by Xu Tianxin?"
Huo Yunqian asked everyone to do whatever they had to do, leaving only Jiubao by his side to introduce the situation here.
"Young master, it's really good to look at the little one, Miss Xu said that she dyed it according to the watermelon rind style, or did she dye it for here, I heard that it was very troublesome to make. As soon as Miss Xu pushed, the small one was ordered. It was also a rush to set off, and there were a lot of scattered things, and everyone didn't bring anything except for the necessary. At that time, there was no place to live, let alone clothes."
In order to explain that he didn't spend money indiscriminately, Jiubao's clothes are really good.
He opened his waist bag and wanted to say, young master, look, this is a guy with fireworks, flares, knives, flints, etc., and the belt tied to his body also has a mysterious mechanism to connect ropes.
As a result, it was poured out first with flour oil, and then rolled out a small paper bag, which contained the baked bun slices that Xu Tianxin sold them. The boxy ones are wrapped in oiled paper wrappers, and they can eat two bites when they are hungry when patrolling the mountains. Jiubao's waist bag even contained Hu spicy soup powder, and all the ingredients for making the soup were dried. For example, if he is cold in the middle of the night after being on duty tonight, he can get some hot water to bring himself a bowl of cold and ventilation, which can't hide the taste.
Huo Yunqian glanced at him and continued to walk forward.
Jiubao paused two steps behind him, slapped his forehead vigorously, and then chased after him and continued to introduce, "Young Master, the little one will introduce you to the garrison situation again."
If the camouflage costume before reminded Huo Yunqian of a person Xu Youtian, he preconceived that it was Xu Youtian who told the Xu family that Xu Tianxin sold clothes and deliberately dyed them into watermelon skin color, not Xu Tianxin's idea.
So after leaving the mine guard area and entering the real "forbidden area", when Huo Yunqian heard that all kinds of arrangements were related to Xu Tianxin, he was a little secretly proud in his heart.
Huo Yunqian didn't have time to think about it, what was he proud of.
Because at this time, Xu Tianxin has completely become a person who shows off Jiubao, and he can't wait to talk endlessly.
Jiubao just doesn't dare to say it in person, which is also a bit inappropriate. He said, "It's really not good to live without a woman."
But he also expressed that meaning, at least Huo Yunqian could hear it, since Jiubao couldn't help but sneak to Erdaohe and used the code to hand over to Xu Tianxin, the lives of the subordinates stationed here in the mine have changed significantly. It was really dealing with it before.
First, the tent: "Young Master, if someone really climbs the mountain to observe here, not only is it covered by dense woods, but you see, the top of the tent is also dyed by Miss Xu to make people dye watermelon skin color."
Jiubao has never had such a rare and colorful watermelon skin before, and now I like it very much, so I am waiting to eat watermelon after a while.
Ms. Xu said that she would also use watermelon rinds to make cheaper watermelon cream for them.
Tanning is inevitable, and the elite soldiers here are brave and strong enough to be afraid of that?
But if you can avoid it, it's better not to get sunburned.
He had face oil in his pocket, and he also bought shampoo and other things from Miss Xu.
If you really don't rub anything, you get sunburned and peeled, and you can't wait for lice to grow lice on your beard, and it's really a bit of a sin to make you look like a lion king.
No one here has a wife, and all of them are good-looking. Unless training or going on an expedition, there is really no one yet, and he looks like a cave man on a mountaintop on weekdays. At that time, there were many people whose clothes were worn out and hung up, and they were almost surrounded by tree bark.
"These bark tents were originally intended for the Xu family, and I heard that they were intended to be used by people from other villages who built houses. Only now did a total of fifteen tents be made.
But when Miss Xu came back to deliver food for the second time, she saw that some of her subordinates lived in the open air to prevent snakes and mosquitoes, and guessed that some of them lived in caves, so she asked the little one if they could buy birch bark tents.
At that time, the little one thought to herself, Miss Xu might as well sell the oilcloth tents in the nearby villages, and the bark tents could have oilcloths?
But I didn't expect that, young master, this may be the bark of the tree, it is warm and breathable, unlike the subordinates who are huddled in an oilcloth shed and breathless. Xu Jiazhu only got fifteen in total, only two were left, and the rest were all sent here."
As for why the tents were sold only for the second time to deliver food.
Xu Tianxin came for the first time, and he didn't know that there were still people living in the gold cave digging inside, how dangerous it was. The guards outside didn't let her in, and Jiubao personally led her in.
And the reason why the elite soldiers here were in such a difficult environment at first was not in a hurry to build a horse farm in front of them. Covering the front, I was still anxious to think: Come and play? We're not here to dig for gold, let's hurry up, we're busy getting a scene in front of us, just in case, it's imperative to get out the gold and complete the task.
Before they got it out at all, everyone didn't dare to relax, and they didn't have time to take care of how to eat and live, for fear that they wouldn't be able to explain to the general.
Huo Yunqian really knew about the birch bark tent.
Lei Jiawo made it for the Xu family in Erdaohe, and when the Xu family first knew about it, they handed it over to the Zhenbei Army.
When he saw the letter, in fact, to be honest, he only had a small feeling, that is, to deepen the Xu family's loyalty to him.
Unexpectedly, this tent was used here later.
Huo Yunqian pulled the tent stand with his hand.
He tried to see if the tent was strong on a windy day.
But the subordinates behind Huo Yunqian were nervous enough, and the leaders prayed in their hearts: But don't be pulled out by the general, the tent flies like a kite, then they have to lift and lift the soldiers who do this work.
"I think it's still crowded, will there be more in the future?"
"Yes, Miss Xu has booked with that side, and the size is more suitable than before. Each tent also has a sewing kit and a first-aid kit, and the first-aid kit contains some medicines for wounds, wind and cold, mosquito repellent and so on."
Huo Yunqian lifted the curtain and saw that his subordinates still had pillows, and the bedding they brought when they set off was still neat.
The pillow was packed by Xu Tianxin with pampas grass: "Have you also changed your clothes?"
"Back to the general, this time
There you have it." Another, more sedate leader, replied, and he added truthfully, "I also ordered some mats."
Huo Yunqian saw that there were trees and branches in the middle of the two rows of tents to make long tables and benches, there were 400 garrisons here, and they couldn't do anything else at night, so they could be made in the dark.
And right now, on this long table, there are more than a dozen large wooden barrels.
I heard the report from the people below that the dandelion tea given by Xu Tianxin was brewed in the wooden barrel, so that everyone could work to quench their thirst and not be easy to get angry, and sometimes there were sour jujube tea bags.
Sour jujube buds are born with thorns, which are difficult to pick, and are called oriental sleeping buds by mountain people. At night, everyone finished their work, except for the rest of the people on duty, to drink something, which quenched their thirst and fatigue.
Huo Yunqian heard that Xu Tianxin didn't need money for these teas.
Huo Yunqian nodded with satisfaction, after all, he had to stay here for a long time: "I heard that there is a meal ordered at Xu's house every day, how do you eat on weekdays."
Then this matter has to be said by Jiubao.
「…… If you eat wild vegetable buns, you can eat tofu brain. Salted duck eggs, big porridge, eat wild vegetable boxes. Miss Xu's grandmother also made a prickly rose cake with pimple soup. I also ate spicy cabbage fried rice and potato sausage stewed rice. The lunch box is vinegared cabbage, stir-fried dried tofu skin, duck stewed potatoes, and two rice. Today it's fish skin jelly, pork stewed with dried potatoes. Fried small fish, I heard that Erdaohe collected all the small fish nearby, and stewed small fish loach for his subordinates, with bean sprouts......
"Young master, look, there is also a pickle jar in the camp, which is a radish pickle given by Miss Xu's grandmother."
