Huo Yunqian originally thought that Xu Tianxin had thoughts that he shouldn't have.

For a moment, Huo Yunqian still felt some indescribable disappointment in his heart.

But he never expected, even if he was relatively well-informed, that it would be another business deal.

I heard from my subordinates that the "villagers" who had been arranged to enter Erdaohe once commented that Xu Tianxin looked like a small money skewer, and Xu Xiaoqian skewers really deserved his reputation.

……

Mine camp.

From the outside, it looks more like a private horse farm owned by a wealthy man of this dynasty.

Dozens of foals were happily grazing.

Hundreds of adult horses are also being led and trained by dedicated personnel from afar.

The stable was built very luxuriously, and even the horses' food and grass had separate storage rooms, facing north and south, making it very transparent. In strong winds and rainy days, the foal will not be disturbed in any way.

But Huo Yunqian knew in his heart that even though the stable was like this, his elite soldiers must have lived in a place worse than a horse.

This is also the house that Jiubao and the others have built with the most care.

But Huo Yunqian had just imagined that the daily life of his elite soldiers might be a bit miserable. The moment he stepped into the house with military boots, he turned around and saw the "professional horse trainer". In fact, his men were dressed like ordinary horse trainers. Sitting on a chair, hugging my feet and cutting my nails.

Huo Yunqian glanced at the slightly familiar nail clippers first.

The elite soldiers on the opposite side were immediately frightened to the point of cutting their flesh. They quickly put on their shoes and tidied up their horse-taming clothes without caring about the bleeding. But he couldn't care about this, and he forgot everything 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 elite soldier's performance was a little more embarrassing than Xu Tianxin's previous salute.

At least Xu Tianxin didn't bleed. When he saw Huo Yunqian, no matter when he met, he was always in a very relaxed state.

Looking at the elite soldier kneeling on one knee, his face turned red and he was about to say hello loudly and apologize, but Huo Yunqian raised his hand slightly to stop him.

The elite soldier reacted and thought: No wonder he didn't hear any movement. The general's guards must have stopped all the people who were ambushing outside, just to make a surprise inspection to see the real situation here.

But the real situation is that he is really not very leisurely.

I haven’t cut my nails for more than two months, and my fingernails can be bitten, and my toenails... If I don’t cut them, my shoes will get torn again, and I will have to buy another layer of mille-feuille soles made by the aunties in Erdaohe Village.

The soldier's toenails are actually quite good this way. The inability to tear the toenails shows that they are not deficient in calcium.

Huo Yunqian still has a good temper. He has always felt that as long as he is not on the training ground or on the battlefield, he is a very gentle general.

As for the real impression he left on his men, that was not his concern.

At this time, Huo Yunqian personally picked up the small bag dropped by the soldier and asked:

"What's this."

Without waiting for the other party to answer, he understood clearly, the toiletry bag.

Teeth cleaning tools, soap locusts, small brushes for body washing and other messy things.

What is this loofah pulp used for? Huo Yunqian looked at the small razor and saw that it should be used to lather and trim beards.

He glanced at the long table by the window again and thought: Everyone has a toiletry bag.

How could he forget that Xu Tianxin not only sells food but also sells goods here.

Xu Tianxin said that she was not just doing it to make money, she was just doing it for free. On the contrary, if you don't earn it, you will be afraid of others and dare not accept it. After all, accepting a favor in vain will easily cause a heavy psychological burden, which is not good for both parties. It is even suspected of taking the opportunity to flatter the general.

As for what? With such a small amount of money, you would deliberately use it to flatter people without paying for it? That general is also very easy to photograph.

In fact, there is no need to explain more. He understands that there are still costs.

Xu Tianxin's main purpose is to improve the lives of the soldiers here, eat well and sleep well, so that they can give the generals more work and do good work.

These are Xu Tianxin’s original words.

Especially good.

So after Huo Yunqian took a look at the toiletry bag and the environment of the racecourse ahead, although he was mentally prepared, due to Xu Tianxin's "intervention", his subordinates thought that life would indeed be much better than he imagined, but when it came When they arrived at the real mining area, Huo Yunqian's expression did not change. He had to admit that he was still a little surprised.

When he first stepped into this area, "camouflage clothes" began to fall one after another from the mountainside and the mountain stream. Even Huo Yunqian's eyesight could not be spotted without looking carefully.

On the top of the mountain, someone wearing a straw hat had already stood up, with arrow feathers already in place.

Seeing that it was Huo Yunqian, followed by the man leading his horse, and two teams of guards raising flags, he immediately stood at attention on the top of the mountain and raised his sword in salute.

It was Jiubao who took the lead to fall down from the mountain stream.

At this time, Jiubao was wearing a camouflage uniform and green mille-layer cloth shoes. If it could be broadcast live now, family members would find that Jiubao was wearing a modern women's sun hat.

Xu Tianxin specially improved it. She and the men here all have long hair. She knows very well that if you wear a camouflage baseball cap with thick and long hair, if the weather gets hotter, it will be easy to get lice and it will be difficult to wear it.

We can't let the men here wear long hair and baseball caps. That's quite elegant, but inconvenient.

Xu Tianxin improved it into a sun hat, that is, the top of the baseball cap is empty, but there is still a brim in the front. In this way, when it rains or the sun is strong, whether soldiers are patrolling or working outside, the brim of the hat will not block their vision and can also protect them from rain and sun.

As for the "hollow" baseball cap straps, she asked the soldiers to tie their hair up and wrap their heads neatly, just in time to tie up the little knots with the four upper and lower straps.

Jiubao and a group of elite soldiers were very excited when they saw Huo Yunqian and were striding towards Huo Yunqian.

Jiubao thought to himself: Master, I thought you had thrown me into a mountain col and ignored me now. You can come down and take a look at me.

Ai? Shi'an, it turns out that I didn't intend to replace him this time. Jiubao felt like crying in his heart.

While Jiubao was walking around, Huo Yunqian also discovered that the arrow feather bags of his men had been changed, and their waist bags had also changed. They were made of the same fabric as their clothes.

Even the military belt around the waist has been replaced with...a ruler?
Expose the ruler belt directly.

Huo Yunqian had to admit that when his men came towards him, they did look much neater. This body is also lighter than before, making it easier to hide in the forest. "Is this also sold by Xu Tianxin?"

Huo Yunqian told everyone to do whatever they needed to do, leaving Jiubao alone to introduce the situation here.

"Master, the little one looks really good. Miss Xu said that she dyed it according to the pattern of watermelon rinds, or dyed it specially for here. I heard that it is quite troublesome to make. As soon as Miss Xu pushed it, the little one made the decision. That's right. We were walking in a hurry when we set out, and we carried a lot of scattered things. Except for the necessary things, we didn’t bring anything else. At that time, let alone clothes, we didn’t even have a place to live.”

Jiubao wanted to explain that he didn't spend money recklessly, and the clothes he wore were really good.

He opened his pocket and wanted to say, Master, look, here are things like fireworks, flares, knives and flints. The belt tied to his body also has a mysterious function of connecting ropes.

As a result, first a piece of dough came out, and then a small paper bag rolled out, which contained the baked bun slices that Xu Tianxin sells. The boxy ones are wrapped in oil paper and can be eaten in two bites when you are hungry while patrolling in the mountains. Jiubao even has spicy soup powder in his pocket, and all the ingredients for making the soup are dried in the sun. For example, if he gets cold in the middle of the night after being on duty tonight, he can get some water to heat up and give himself a bowl to ward off the cold and provide ventilation, but he can't hide the smell.

Huo Yunqian glanced at him and continued walking forward.

Jiubao paused for two steps behind, slapped his forehead hard, then caught up and continued to introduce: "Master, I will introduce to you the garrison situation."

If the previous camouflage clothes reminded Huo Yunqian of Xu Youtian, he preconceptionally believed that it was Xu Youtian who told the Xu family that Xu Tianxin sold the clothes and dyed them the color of watermelon skin. It was not Xu Tianxin's idea.

So after leaving the guarded area of ​​​​the mine and entering the real "forbidden zone", when Huo Yunqian heard that all the arrangements were related to Xu Tianxin, he felt a little secretly proud.

Huo Yunqian didn't have time to think too much. How could he be so proud?

Because at this time, Xu Tianxin has completely become Jiubao's show off person, and he can't wait to talk endlessly.

There was something Jiubao didn't dare to say to his face, and it was a bit inappropriate. He almost said: "It's really impossible to live without a woman."

But the meaning was expressed, at least Huo Yunqian heard it. Ever since Jiubao couldn't help sneaking to Erdaohe and handed over to Xu Tianxin with a coded signal, the lives of the subordinates stationed here in the mine have changed significantly. It was indeed dealt with before.

First came the tent: "Master, if someone really climbs the mountain to observe this place, not only will it be blocked by dense woods, but you can see that the top of the tent is also dyed the color of watermelon skin by Miss Xu."

Jiubao has never been so interested in the colorful watermelon rind before. Now he likes it very much and is looking forward to eating watermelon in a while.

Ms. Xu said that she would also use watermelon rinds to make cheaper watermelon cream for them to apply on their faces.

Tanning is inevitable. The elite soldiers here are brave and strong. What can they be afraid of?
But it’s better not to get sunburned if you can avoid it.

He had facial oil in his pocket, and he also bought shampoo and other things from Miss Xu.

If you really don't wipe anything, the skin will be sunburned and lice will make you want to have lice on your beard. It will be a bit miserable to look like a lion.

No one here has a wife, and they all look good. Unless you are training or going on an expedition, there is really no one who looks like a caveman on a daily basis. At that time, many people's clothes were worn out and hung up, so they had to wear tree bark.

"These bark tents were originally used by the Xu family. I heard that they were planned to be used by people from other villages who were building houses. So far, only fifteen tents have been built.

But when Miss Xu came back to deliver meals for the second time, she saw that some of her subordinates were living in the open air to protect themselves from snakes and mosquito bites. She also guessed that some of them were living in caves, so she asked the younger one if he wanted to buy a birch bark tent.

At that time, I was still thinking to myself, Miss Xu, why not sell oilcloth tents from nearby villages in Hua La Hua La? How about oilcloth tents for bark tents?
But I didn't expect, young master, this might be the reason why tree bark is like this. It keeps warm and breathable, unlike the subordinates who are crowded in an oilcloth shed and can't breathe. The Xu family only got fifteen in total, and only two were left. The rest were all sent here. "

As for why the tent was sold only after delivering food for the second time.

Xu Tianxin came here for the first time. He didn't know the situation inside, but there were people living and digging in Jinshan Cave. How dangerous it was. The guards outside didn't let her in, so Jiubao personally led her in.

The reason why the elite soldiers here were in such a difficult environment at first was because they were rushing to build a horse farm in front. Covering the front, I was still thinking anxiously: Are you here to play? We're not here to dig for gold. Hurry up. After you're done, you'll need to set up a scene just in case. Then you can quickly get the gold and complete the mission. That's the top priority.

Everyone didn't dare to relax until everything was done, and they didn't have the time to take into account issues such as food and accommodation, for fear that they wouldn't be able to explain it to the general.

Huo Yunqian really knows about birch bark tents.

Lei Jiawo made it for the Xu family of Erdaohe. When the Xu family knew about it, they entrusted someone to hand it over to the Zhenbei Army.

When he saw the letter at that time, to be honest, he only had a small feeling, which was to further impress the Xu family's loyalty to him.

Unexpectedly, this tent would be used here later.

Huo Yunqian reached over and tugged on the tent support.

He tested the sturdiness to see if the tent would be strong on a windy day.

But all the men behind Huo Yunqian were very nervous. The leaders prayed in their hearts: Don't let the general pull up the tent, and the tent will fly like a kite. Then they have to lift it up for the soldiers doing the job. Dry.

"I think it's still crowded. Will there be more in the future?"

"Yes, Miss Xu made an order with me, and the size is more suitable than before. Each tent also has a sewing kit and a first-aid kit. The first-aid kit contains some medicine for wounds, cold and cold, mosquito repellent and other medicines."

Huo Yunqian opened the curtain and saw that his men still had pillows, and the bedding they brought with them when they set out was relatively clean.

The pillow was made of cattails by Xu Tianxin: "You have a change of clothes, right?"

"Back to General, we have everything this time." Another more calm leader replied. He told the truth and added: "We also ordered some mats."

Huo Yunqian saw that trees and branches were used to make long tables and benches between the two rows of tents. Four hundred troops were stationed here. They couldn't do anything else at night, so they could make them in the dark.

And now there are more than a dozen large wooden barrels on the long table.

I heard from people below that the barrels were filled with dandelion tea given by Xu Tianxin, so that everyone could work to quench their thirst without getting angry. Sometimes there were also jujube tea bags.

The jujube buds grow with thorns and are difficult to pick. They are called Eastern sleeping buds by mountain people. After everyone finished their work at night, everyone except those on duty drank something to quench their thirst and fatigue.

Huo Yunqian heard that Xu Tianxin's tea drinks were free of charge.

Huo Yunqian nodded with satisfaction. After all, he had to stay here for a long time: "I heard that one meal was ordered from the Xu family. How do you eat on weekdays?"

Then you have to rely on Jiubao to talk about it.

"... If you want to eat wild vegetable steamed buns, eat tofu puffs. Salted duck eggs and big rice porridge, eat wild vegetable boxes. Ms. Xu's grandmother also made rose cakes with pimple soup. She also had spicy cabbage fried rice and potato sausages. Stewed rice. The lunch box is vinegared cabbage, stir-fried dried tofu skin, duck meat stewed with potatoes, and rice. Today is fish skin jelly, pork stewed with dried potatoes. Fried small fish. I heard that Erdao River collected all the nearby small fish. Stew small fish and loach with soy sauce and stir-fried bean sprouts for my subordinates..."

"Master, look, there are pickle jars in the camp. These are radish and pickles given by Miss Xu's grandmother for free."
