The cannon fodder through the book will live to the end

Tao Anran did not expect that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Jingyu said that he would go back to the barracks to prepare for the next winter war.

When Tao Anran heard the news, he quickly asked, "Are you going back to the barracks so early? It's not long since autumn, isn't it cold weather that causes wars? Then will you go back to your home halfway?"

Xiao Jingyu looked at the worried face of the princess, and replied one by one: "The military affairs are busy, and the earlier you return to the barracks, the earlier you can deal with them and make some preparations earlier. The wool economy plan you mentioned earlier, I have discussed it with others, and I think it is feasible. .And it should be time for the Turkic side to shear sheep again, this time just to test the plan. So this time I am busy with business, and I may not have time to go back home."

Tao Anran frowned, and replied: "Then can you come back for the New Year? Or I can only see you until next spring."

Xiao Jingyu's heart trembled, and he avoided Wang Hao's eyes and said, "Probably. If I'm not busy then, I'll come back to spend the New Year with you."

Tao Anran thought of this year's Chinese New Year, he rushed back and only stayed for a few hours before rushing back to the barracks.It's tiring to go back and forth like this.

So he thought about it, and said: "Forget it, you still don't want to rush back to celebrate the New Year. It will hurt your body to run back and forth. Let's see you in spring. If this is the case, then you have to bring thick clothes when you go back to the barracks this time." clothes."

While talking, Tao Anran went into the back room to find a sweater.After getting out the wool, he asked people to knit two sets of sweaters and trousers according to Xiao Jingyu's size.Even if he had never been to the military camp, he knew that the winter there must be colder than in the mansion.It is necessary to prepare two sets of sweaters.

Tao Anran came out with the packed sweater and wool trousers, and saw Qu Zhishui also coming.

He hurriedly said hello, "Doctor Qu is here. What's the matter?"

Qu Zhishui quickly said: "Princess, I heard that the prince is going to the military camp, so I specially sent some special hemostatic medicine. Swords have no eyes on the battlefield, and my hemostatic medicine will come in handy."

Although it was a little strange to deliver the medicine, Tao Anran still thanked him for his kindness.

Turning around, Tao Anran still told Xiao Jingyu: "My lord, you must be careful when you are on the battlefield. Also, this is a sweater and sweater that was specially made according to your size. I know you are not afraid of the cold, but when it is cold, you will still To wear these, these will keep you warm."

Speaking of this, he thought of something again, and then said: "I also had people make a cotton jacket, which is warmer than a silk cotton jacket. There are also cotton underwear, which are good at absorbing sweat and ventilating, but these have not been done yet. You are I can’t take it away, after I’m done, I’ll send someone to the barracks.”

Xiao Jingyu listened gently to Wang Hao's instructions, and said: "There is no rush for cotton jackets and obscene clothes. After finishing them, just hand them over to Qian Mancang. He also needs to send some things to the military camp. Just let him give them to me by the way. "

Tao Anran was relieved when he heard it, otherwise he was afraid that it would be troublesome to send something to the military camp.

Qu Zhishui sat on the side, feeling that she was in the way.He just came to deliver a medicine, it is really inappropriate to disturb the couple's last chance to get together.

He stood up, ready to say goodbye.

Seeing Doctor Qu stand up, Tao Anran quickly said: "By the way, Doctor Qu just came, you can take the sweater back. I don't need to have someone deliver it to your yard later."

The words of farewell turned in his mouth, and Qu Zhishui asked with some surprise: "Sweater, for me?"

Qu Zhishui heard the sweater next to her and knew it was warm clothes.It's just that he had never seen such clothes before, and thought that the princess had prepared them for the prince alone, so it was hard for him to ask.

Tao Anran replied: "It's a sweater for you. You are afraid of the cold, so I specially made you a high-necked sweater that can wrap around your neck. And not only you have it, but I also prepared two for Xiao Angelica." .It was delivered from the store outside, and I'll bring it to you later."

Qu Zhishui was flattered and said, "This is too expensive. Thank you, Princess."

Tao Anran smiled and replied: "This sweater is nothing, but it's not cold yet, so the store hasn't opened for sale yet. After it's sold in the store, you can see many people wearing sweaters. But this year There is too little cotton, so there is no padded jacket for you. When there is more cotton, I will make you a padded jacket. It will make you not afraid to go out in winter."

Qu Zhishui said with a smile: "Where did the princess say that you can give me and the angelica sweater, I am already very grateful. Of course, when there will be more cotton in the future, please remember to give me a padded jacket."

Tao Anran also smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget. I'll get you a sweater first."

After finishing speaking, he went into the back room, because it was just delivered, so after he finished reading it, he was put aside casually, thinking that he would send it to Dansha Courtyard when it was cold.So now the sweater is still in the house.

Taking advantage of the time when the princess went to get the clothes, Qu Zhishui said what he hadn't had time to say to Xiao Jingyu before: "The medicine is life-threatening. If it really happens, you can only hang your life and wait for me to come. At that time, I will take the princess to see you, and let you see each other for the last time."

Xiao Jingyu looked at the room tenderly, and in his arms was the medicine bottle that Qu Zhishui had just given.They just lied to the princess that it was a hemostatic medicine.

Xiao Jingyu didn't speak, but just stared at the princess who came out of the inner room with correct eyes.At this moment, it would be useless to say anything else, he just wanted to look at the princess again, and imprint his voice, appearance and appearance in his heart.

After Qu Zhishui took the sweater, she quickly thanked her, and then said her goodbyes and left.Xiao Jingyu also took the package and prepared to leave.Even though Tao Anran was reluctant, he could only watch him leave.

Xiao Jingyu and Qu Zhishui walked towards the outside of Xueji Courtyard together. When they came to a fork in the road, Xiao Jingyu asked: "Qu Zhishui, do you still remember that you said in spring that you will work for me for another three years. I hope that in the days to come you It can keep the princess safe and sound."

Qu Zhishui looked at his calm face, and replied: "With me here, don't say anything else, at least I will try my best not to let the princess get sick. Even if I get sick, I will make him recover soon."

Xiao Jingyu nodded, "That's good, remember what you said today." Then he strode away.

Qu Zhishui also walked to another intersection, but he suddenly realized while walking.The three years he said at the beginning was a bet in the game.But he won the game, and he didn't have to fulfill the bet.So he was tricked by Xiao Jingyu just now, but he didn't realize it for a while.

Thinking of this, Qu Zhishui wanted to turn around and find Xiao Jingyu to settle the score.But Xiao Jingyu was no longer behind him.Qu Zhishui looked at the sweaters in his arms, and thought to forget it, just treat it as repaying the kindness of these sweaters.

Ever since Xiao Jingyu left the mansion and returned to the barracks, there have been several autumn rains.One autumn rain and one cold, the weather started to get colder.Fortunately, both the padded jacket and cotton obscene clothes were made, and Qian Mancang brought them to Xiao Jingyu in the barracks.

Although Tao Anran was busy with the affairs of the house, calculating the crops of the farm, but he did not forget to pay attention to the business situation of sweaters and coal stoves.Now that it's cold, it's time to sell sweaters and coal stoves.

The price of sweaters is not cheap, it is more expensive than ordinary ready-made clothes.After all, it is not easy to make wool, and the cost of weaving is not low.Especially for some special limited editions, the price is even higher.

Generally, people choose to buy wool and go back to knit sweaters for their family members, which is more economical and affordable.But those who are particular about sweaters are interested in the novel styles of sweaters, especially some styles are limited editions, and the number of pieces is not much.In the end, the more expensive sweaters are in short supply.

But sweaters do keep you warm, especially in the frigid Northwest, where people don't want to take them off.So the colder the weather, the better the business in the sweater shop.

And not only the sweater shop in Yunzhou City, but also the shops in other places.It seems like all of a sudden, being able to wear a sweater has become a trendy thing.And if you wear a limited-edition special model, it is even more something to show off.

In this regard, Tao Anran has made great achievements and fame.In fact, there is no difference between those ordinary sweaters and limited edition sweaters, they are all knitted with the same wool.It's just taking advantage of other people's psychology of wanting to be unique, and hunger marketing has caused the shortage of supply.

If sweaters are the heating method of ordinary families and even rich families, then briquettes and coal stoves are completely the tools of life for poor families.

When it was cold last year, heated kang became popular, and people realized that heated kang kept warm.As long as there is a room and a wall in the family, people have tried their best to repair the heated kang.Although the cost of the kang was not high, the price of firewood used to burn the kang rose later.

But in this world, there are still people with destitute families, and there are people in poor families who are reluctant to spend money to repair the heated kang.They burn some rotten wood that others don't want to keep warm in winter, and suffer in the cold winter.

But now there are briquettes and coal stoves.The price of briquettes is extremely low, and four briquettes can be burned for a whole day.Although the price of the coal stove is a little higher, but the coal stove is not a consumable, and it can be used for a long time after buying it.

After publicizing the usefulness of coal stoves and briquettes, many people tentatively bought some briquettes and went back.After discovering that briquettes are really easy to use, many people buy hundreds of them.If it weren't for the fact that the workshop made a lot of briquettes before opening the store, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough to sell.

However, the briquette is selling well, and the workshop has to recruit people to expand its scale.Not only do you need people to dig coal, but you also need people to make briquettes.Liu Laosi leads people to make briquettes every day. Although he is so busy that he doesn't even have time to drink his saliva, he is really happy in his heart.Seeing the hot sales of these briquettes, he also knew that he could make a lot of money again.

In the past, in winter, high-ranking officials and nobles used good silver charcoal to keep warm, not only without smoke but with rosin.Most people also buy some ordinary charcoal for heating.For poor families, winter has always been a difficult pass.

Now that it's winter, some people with a little wealth have built heated kangs.For those who have some conditions, buy some sweaters and trousers for the family, and the body will not be cold at all after wearing them.No matter how bad it is, buy a coal stove and some briquettes, not only for heating, but also for boiling water and cooking.It doesn't cost much, but the winter seems to be less cold.

Tao Anran could see all these changes from the bill sent by Qian Mancang.Not only did he repay the money he had borrowed to buy food, but he also gave back the share.Tao Anran was happy seeing the big cash box refilled with silver taels.

A heavy snow fell outside the house at the right time. Tao Anran sat on the kang, watching the goose-feather-like snow through the small gap between the windows.

The auspicious snow heralds a prosperous year.Next year will be a good one.

Suddenly there were hurried footsteps outside the door, Bai Lu entered the room with a face of panic, and before Tao Anran could ask, she hurriedly said: "Princess, it's not good, the prince has been attacked. Go to the barracks quickly."

Like a bolt from the blue, Tao Anran didn't seem to understand, he asked back: "What?!"

The author has something to say:
