Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 18

Li Jin looked at the list, thought for a while, and said, "I'm buying thirty catties of red flowers."

"Why buy safflower?" Xu Qingfeng wondered, if he was right, safflower is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine.

"The safflower bath can relieve fatigue and promote blood circulation. The follow-up training is very heavy. I don't want to use up the soldiers." Li Jin said.

The follow-up training puts a lot of pressure on the soldiers, and the safflower bath can relieve muscle fatigue and promote blood circulation, so that the muscles will not be sore the next day.

"Platoon leader, you still know this." Xu Qingfeng said, he didn't expect the platoon leader to know Chinese medicine.

"I used to jump up and down mischievously, but my body was always sore the next day. My mother used safflower to bathe me, and the effect was very good." Li Jin said.

This is true.

"So that's how it is." Xu Qingfeng nodded, but reacted again, and said, "Platoon leader, have you planned the amount of follow-up training?"

"Well, that's right, the venue still needs to be set up." Li Jin nodded and said that his subsequent plans all need to build a venue. In the past few days, he still needs to increase the amount of training in the original plan.

"Why do I feel that this group of soldiers will peel off their skin if they don't die." Xu Qingfeng said, otherwise, why would the platoon leader even use traditional Chinese medicine to take a bath? Obviously, the amount of training in the future is not ordinary.

"It's not that exaggerated. At most, they are too tired to get up. When they get used to the amount of training, they don't need to take a bath anymore. It's just that the previous period is hard." Li Jin said.

As long as the soldiers get used to it, they don't need to spend so much money to buy red flowers to bathe them, otherwise, if they take a bath every day, their wallets won't be able to support it.

The corner of Xu Qingfeng's mouth twitched. Is this any different from delaminated skin? He took the list, and then added safflower to the list.

Around seven o'clock, everyone started queuing up for breakfast in the shed.

When they saw that the breakfast was bacon porridge and white flour steamed buns, they were all very happy, and they were finally full after so long.

Every soldier has a smile on his face.

Li Jin was also queuing up, this time the porridge fighter said he wanted to give Li Jin two more pieces of meat, but this time Li Jin did not refuse.

"Platoon leader, what about those girls, aren't they coming for breakfast? They haven't woken up yet." The porridge soldier laughed.

"Wake up, but wake up, maybe he is tidying up his hair or something." Li Jin said.

"Hey, they're here." The soldier looked into the distance, He Chun and Song Qiqi were coming.

After they came over, many soldiers started staring at the girls again, especially at Song Qiqi, after all Song Qiqi looked about the same age as them, as if they were fifteen or sixteen years old.

Song Qiqi's face was dirty before, but now after washing his face, his skin is very white and tender, and his big eyes are very lively.

Li Jin walked towards them with the porridge and said, "Come on, where can I get a bowl, today's breakfast is still very rich."

"Okay." He Chun smiled, and then the group went to buy porridge, took white flour steamed buns and ate them aside.

"Sister Chun, didn't you say that the eight roads are very poor, why do they even eat bacon porridge and white flour steamed buns for breakfast." A woman said.

She heard that Balu usually doesn't have enough to eat, and only eats two meals a day, and he doesn't eat meat.

"Sister Wang, you fool, of course this meat belongs to the Wang family. They seized so many things in the Wang family, it's not normal to eat bacon porridge." Song Qiqi took a mouthful of the porridge, then took a bite out of the steamed bun .

"That's right, I almost forgot, this bacon porridge is really delicious, and the steamed buns are also delicious, but it's a bit small and I don't think it's enough." Sister Wang muttered.

Hearing this, Song Qiqi stopped, looked at the slap-sized steamed bun in his hand and said, "This steamed bun is still small? It's bigger than my face."

At this moment, Li Jin walked over wiping his mouth and said, "If you are not full, keep taking until you are full."

"No need, we are full." He Chun said, and she slipped a steamed bun into Sister Wang's hand.

"Okay, here is like your own home, don't be restrained, our Eighth Route Army treats ordinary people like family members, I hope you don't have any grudges against us," Li Jin smiled, looking very kind.

"Well, no." He Chun and the others nodded. Although they didn't meet much, they could also feel that the Eighth Route fighters didn't have the slightest prejudice against them, which was much better than those neighbors.

"After eating, you can wander around the village to familiarize yourself with the environment. At noon, I will take you to a meeting with the village chief," Li Jin said.

"A meeting? What kind of meeting?" Song Qiqi asked.

"It's about the establishment of the Women's Rescue Association. In fact, there is no Women's Rescue Association in the village, and it happens to be established now." Li Jin explained.

"Okay, no problem." He Chun nodded.

"Then feel free, I'll go to have a meeting with the soldiers first." Li Jin left after speaking, and then he called the monitors and deputy monitors of several squads to the meeting room for a meeting.

"The main purpose of this meeting is the issue of conscription. We didn't have enough supplies before, so we didn't conscript more troops.
But it is different now, we have enough supplies to recruit more soldiers, so this matter is urgent. " Li Jin said, looking at all the squad leaders present.

"Then how many people are we going to recruit this time? When we came before, young people from several villages came. There were hundreds of people. Do you want to recruit them all?" Liu Changshun, the squad leader, said.

At that time, due to lack of supplies, they only recruited 30 people. After explaining to other young people at that time, they also said that they could eat at home, and they only wanted to serve as soldiers and fight devils.

But they were all rejected by Li Jin. After all, if he really did this, Li Yunlong probably would not let him go. This is equivalent to letting his soldiers consume the food of the common people.

Even the family members of the recruits can't do it. When they come to serve as soldiers, the army must take care of the food. How can the family members of the recruits be responsible.

"That's right, platoon leader, it's not a problem to recruit them all with our supplies." The second squad leader also said.

"We don't need so many. This time we recruited only 130 people. We recruited in three villages, Hejia Village, Songjia Village, and Wujia Village.

Remember the conditions, no only child, no one under the age of 16, no one over the age of 33. "Li Jin said.

Generally speaking, middle-aged people are already the pillars of the family. If they are allowed to serve as soldiers, if they die in battle, their family will have a miserable life.

Conscripting a soldier and conscripting all the descendants of the family is unreasonable.

"Understood!" Everyone nodded.

"Now assign tasks, the first squad leader, you take people to Hejia Village to recruit 50 people, the second squad leader, take people to Songjia Village to recruit 50 people, and the third squad leader, you are in Wujia Village, recruit 30 people." Li Jin issued the recruitment task.

"Yes." The three monitors agreed in unison.

"Um... no, platoon leader, what about me? What am I doing?" Xu Qingfeng became anxious when he heard that there was no mission without him.

"Old Xu, you continue to train the recruits, and I will take the veterans to build a field deep in the mountains." Li Jin said.

The matter of building the field cannot be delayed. If it is built one day earlier, training can be done one day earlier.

"Yes!" Xu Qingfeng nodded.

"The conscription task will start tomorrow. For today, I will first settle the matter of the Women's Rescue Society and the spring plowing." Li Jin said.

After all, it is necessary to settle the good things.
