Fu Tingye's order was passed to the Hussars Camp, and the vigorous men were gearing up one by one.
Because the Chinese New Year is a day for family reunions, it is also the time when soldiers miss their loved ones the most. In order to prevent the Liao people from seizing this opportunity to launch a surprise attack, everyone tightened their strings during this period and did not dare to relax. As a result, there was no movement from the Liao soldiers. nor.
Now I finally have something to do!
Qin Laowu personally ordered 500 of the best soldiers in the army, preparing to kill the Liao soldiers by surprise!
He Wu was neatly dressed, with a strong leather armor and a long knife at his waist. The straightforward man showed a bit of murderous aura.
The companions on the side saw that he had brought two knives, and laughed and said: "He Wu, what's the matter with you! Didn't the knife last time be repaired? Why is he still carrying the butcher's knife? Is he going to kill the pig?" "
Several other soldiers laughed loudly, "He Wu, please take it easy, Liao soldiers are not pigs, they are not easy to kill!"
He Wu didn't care about their teasing and just said casually: "This knife is easy to use."
Another burst of laughter.
"Our weapons come from the Ordnance Supervisor! Don't you think that just buying a butcher knife on the street can compare with the craftsmanship of the Ordnance Supervisor's craftsmen?"
"Impossible! - If you can really surpass the skills of the weapons supervisor, why bother selling butcher knives on the street! Wouldn't it be better to go directly to the weapons supervisor?"
"He Wu, please be patient for a while, don't lose your life just because you are trying to show off!"
"It's better to keep that pig-killing knife for emergencies. We still have to use our machete to kill Liao dogs! Hahaha..."
He Wu was a little displeased by what they said, but he was about to set off now. He didn't have the time to start a war of words. What was this knife like? Pull it out and kill it and you'll find out!
…
A group of five hundred hussars went straight to their destination.
The Liao soldiers' whereabouts were obviously exposed and they were surrounded!
The people and horses on both sides are on fire at the first touch! However, one side is panicked, and the other side is murderous. Winning or losing is immediate!
He Wu drew his sword and slashed several people, but a Liao soldier raised his sword to stab him! He Wu turned around to meet him!
—Bang!
Metal blades collide! Make a shrill buzz!
He Wu suddenly exerted force! The other party's expression changed instantly—blood splattered everywhere in the next moment! Heads on the ground!
"Fuck!" Qin Laowu happened to see this scene and couldn't help but curse!
There were still some fighting Liao soldiers trying to escape, but Qin Laowu shouted: "We can't let them escape!"
Another round of encirclement and pursuit finally killed all the remaining Liao soldiers!
Qin Lao's fifth company didn't bother to count the heads at the end. He rushed to the place where He Wu killed the Liao soldiers just now and picked up the opponent's weapons.
The soldiers from the surrounding hussar battalion also gathered around, and they were all dumbfounded.
I saw that the machete was cut directly in the middle, like an intact person who had been chopped off in half!
"He Qianhu! Bring your weapons!" Qin Laowu called to He Wu.
Not far away, He Wu was inspecting the heads. This was their habit on the battlefield. Whenever the battle was over, they would walk around the place where they had just fought. If they found someone who was alive, they would immediately give him a stabbing blow.
Sometimes there will be a reward order, and those who kill more enemies will be rewarded with silver and more likely to be promoted to an official position. After killing the enemy, everyone will have an additional activity - cutting off their ears to prove the number of enemies they have killed.
At this time, He Wu heard Qin Laowu's voice and immediately came back and presented his weapons.
Qin Laowu was stunned, what is this
"...butcher's knife?"
"Yes, Lieutenant General."
Everyone is stunned!
Some soldiers who had teased He Wu before were even more shocked now, staring at the knife without blinking!
"Why is this knife so powerful! It can cut iron like clay?!"
Qin Laowu looked over and over -
This pig-killing knife directly cut off the opponent's knife, but there was basically no damage. Unless you look carefully, you can see the tiny chip on the blade.
"Bring a knife!" Qin Laowu shouted.
Immediately a soldier handed over his saber.
Qin Laowu held a military saber in one hand and a butcher knife in the other, fighting each other with the knives!
—Bang!
Another sound of metal colliding!
When he let go again, the military saber suddenly collapsed! There was a sharp crack on the blade, but the butcher knife was intact!
"Amazing!" someone among the onlookers exclaimed.
Qin Laowu was also shocked. He looked at He Wu and asked, "He Qianhu, how did you get this sword?"
He Wu replied honestly: "It was made by Blacksmith Liu from Panshui City."
Some of the soldiers were from Panshui City and had heard about Liu Tiejun. He was an old blacksmith in the city. He was an honest man, his price was fair, and his work had been praised by everyone.
Now he actually produced a weapon that can cut off a saber! This is amazing!
But... I can't guarantee that it's the folk craftsmen who have left their own unique skills
Qin Laowu thought for a moment and said: "If every soldier of our Da Qi can be equipped with such a weapon, what do the Liao people have to fear? He Qianhu, I'm afraid I have to keep this sword of yours temporarily until I present it to you. After the general has seen it, he will return it to you."
He Wu also knew that the matter was of great importance, so he immediately lowered his head and clasped his fists, "But let the deputy general make the decision!"
Qin Laowu jumped on his horse and shouted loudly: "The whole team returns to camp!"
"yes!"
…
At Yinshi, which is equivalent to around four o'clock in the morning, there was a knock on Hua Qingxue's door.
Hua Qingxue opened the door sleepily, and Aunt He stood outside.
Seeing that she was still sleeping, Aunt He said in surprise: "I'm afraid you've overslept. If you go to the market, you'll have to start preparing now."
The egg rolls and dorayaki sold by Hua Qingxue all need to be prepared in advance.
Hua Qingxue yawned and smiled bitterly: "Auntie, you have forgotten, I sold out all yesterday, and now I can't do anything without butter..."
Aunt He suddenly said, "Oh...that's it, then you can go on sleeping..."
Hua Qingxue nodded confusedly and closed the door again.
Aunt He took two steps towards the kitchen. When she realized what she was doing, she couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, "This kid is too honest. Why did he tell me the recipe so casually? Alas... he must have been asleep..."
The most different thing between Hua Qingxue's food and other people's food was whether butter was added or not. She just said it casually. Fortunately, Aunt He was a real person. If it had been anyone else, she would have immediately made her recipe. Stole it...
Hua Qingxue fell asleep again.
Since she didn't have to work hard to prepare food, she slept comfortably until Chen got up.
At this time, Aunt He had already left the stall, and she was the only one left at home.
Hua Qingxue went to the kitchen to boil hot water, then cut a small piece of soap, melted it in the hot water, added a small amount of sugar and stirred evenly.
—Simple bubble water forming!
White sugar can increase water surface tension, making bubbles more sticky and easier to form.
Hua Qingxue found a few wheat straws in the firewood pile in the kitchen, cut them into suitable lengths, and cleaned them.
She tried blowing it several times with wheat straw. Although the effect could not be compared with professional bubble water, the effect was already very good. The bubbles she blew were big and beautiful.
Hua Qingxue was very satisfied and set off happily with bubble water and her soaps.
When pulling the cart, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
Because today’s scooter is really super easy...
There was neither heavy tea nor snacks. For the first time, Hua Qingxue felt that she was walking as fast as flying!
When she got to the stall, she put down the wooden stool, sat in front of the stall and started blowing bubbles.
A bubble…
Two bubbles…
Three bubbles…
... This thing flew very far away and swayed very eye-catchingly. No one had ever seen it before, so they looked around in curiosity, and soon saw Hua Qingxue sitting there blowing bubbles!
Ouch! What is this? It looks interesting.
"What are you selling?" Everyone came over to ask, and soon Hua Qingxue's stall was surrounded by water!
"Bubble soap can be used to wash hands and wash clothes. It is better than soap soap."
Hua Qingxue's tone of voice was soft and soft, not at all like those quick businessmen. She knew that she was not good at selling and shouting, so she didn't force herself. She directly took the dirty cloth strips she had prepared and poured them into the water. When the clothes got wet, I applied soap and started scrubbing in front of a group of onlookers.
Hua Qingxue's frostbite has already healed. At this moment, her hands are as white as jade, and she is rubbing them into foam. This simple action is also pleasing to the eye.
Someone in the crowd said in surprise: "It's so clean!"
Hua Qingxue smiled, put the clean cloth aside, and took another oily cloth to scrub.
Stains are removed quickly.
"Ah, this bubble soap makes clothes really clean! They look beautiful too!"
"Girl, how do you sell this bubble soap?"
"Is what I blew just now called a bubble?"
"Never seen anything like this..."
Hua Qingxue smiled and said yes, "Bubble soap can be used for washing clothes and dishes. Cut a small piece and melt it with hot water. Add some sugar or the previous night's tea, and you can blow bubbles for children to play with."
As for the price, Hua Qingxue thought about it and decided to stick with yesterday's price, "Thirty cents a piece."
In fact, only one piece was sold yesterday, so Hua Qingxue wanted to lower the price, but she felt that the quality of the soap she made was fine, so she was a little unwilling to accept the price reduction, so she stuck to the original price.
Unexpectedly, people who found it expensive yesterday took out their money and rushed to buy one piece each! Some people even bought three or four yuan in one go, saying it was just right to give away.
Others were inspired and started buying it for two or three yuan!
Hua Qingxue’s bubble soap looks good, and it’s novel and practical to give as a gift. And spending 30 yuan to prepare a gift couldn’t be more affordable!
The thirty or so bars of soap sold out quickly! Those who didn't buy it were extremely regretful and chased Hua Qingxue to ask when they would sell it again.
Hua Qingxue replied awkwardly: "It will be at least a month later..."
When handmade soap is first made, it is highly alkaline and will be irritating to the skin. It cannot be used directly. It needs to be left for a period of time to undergo a saponification reaction. When the pH value drops to a mild range that the skin can adapt to, it is the maturity stage of handmade soap. .
There were long sighs in the crowd, and those who bought it were even more grateful that they bought the bubble soap first!
Hua Qingxue made more than 900 yuan today, nearly one tael of silver. She was satisfied, closed the stall and went home.
She pulled the cart and just turned into the alley when she saw the familiar carriage again.
The chief housekeeper, Zhao Sheng, was waiting at the door of her house with a frown on his face...
