After dinner, Qin Fang said, "I will be on duty on the night of the 18th until the morning of the 19th, so I can go home early on the 19th and rest for two days on the 20th and 21st. Do you think it's okay to treat everyone to dinner on the 20th?" The dinner here is always arranged in the evening, because some people have to be on duty during the day, even if they are under the command of a thousand men, not everyone rests on the same day. However, the military camp holidays here don't seem to be very tight, because if there is an important matter in the military camp, it only takes a cup of tea for everyone to come to the family room to ask someone to ride a horse, which is very fast.
The imperial court built family housing near the military camps, which to a great extent calmed the hearts of the soldiers.
Of course Yang Haiyan had no problem: "How many people are there in total?"
Qin Fang: "Captain Ao Qianfu and his nine fellow centurions, a total of ten people."
Yang Haiyan: "I understand. Don't worry, I will make arrangements."
Qin Fang: "Well... don't do the tiring work, wait until I come back."
Yang Haiyan smiled sweetly: "Okay."
Qin Fang glanced at her secretly, then quickly looked away. His ears turned red again.
That day, Qin Fang woke up at noon as usual, and was going to wait for his wife at the back door of the military camp. On the way, he met Ao Qianfu. Ao Qianfu saw Qin Fang and said, "Xiao Qin, let's go to the mess to eat together." Ao Qianfu thought highly of Qin Fang, the centurion. He was good at kung fu and dared to fight. The main thing was that Qin Fang had a cold and imposing manner, especially like someone in their military camp. He was not like Han Zhen, who looked like a pretty boy and did not look like a military commander at all. Of course, Ao Qianfu had no problem with Han Zhen, but he liked Qin Fang's type more, because... they were of the same type.
Qin Fang: "Hello, Master Ao. Master, I won't go to the kitchen to eat, I... I..." His face was slightly red. Even though Yang Haiyan had been delivering lunch to him for more than ten days, he felt sweet but a little shy when he mentioned this.
Ao Qianfu: "What's wrong with you? Don't be shy, just say what you want to say."
The soldiers nearby heard this and said, "Master Ao, Boss Qin won't eat in the kitchen anymore. Sister-in-law will bring him lunch."
"That's right. Ever since Boss Qin got married, my sister-in-law has been bringing him lunch every day."
"Boss Qin has his sister-in-law's lunch box, so of course he doesn't want to eat with you, Master Ao."
Qin Fang glanced at them.
When Ao Qianfu heard this, he burst into laughter: "It seems that you are very satisfied with this marriage, not bad, not bad." After saying that, he left by himself.
In a blink of an eye, it was the 19th. Qin Fang got off duty at the end of the Mao time (7 o'clock) early in the morning. In the past, he would have eaten in the canteen of the military camp, but today Yang Haiyan asked him to go home to eat, so he did not eat in the canteen. At the same time, there were still five catties left of the thirty catties of monthly rations issued last month. You know, thirty catties a month was not enough for food in the past, and he had to pay more money to buy it, but this month Yang Haiyan would bring enough food to deliver meals every noon, so he saved five catties.
Not only that, this month's 30 catties of grain and one tael of silver were also distributed yesterday. They are distributed on the 18th of every month. This month he is on duty during the day, and goes home to eat in the morning and evening. He can bring lunch from home, so the food does not need to be kept in the barracks.
"Xiao Qin, are you ready?" Lu Zhide had already packed up and called Qin Fang at the door of the tent.
Qin Fang: "Okay."
When the two walked out, they met Han Zhen, and then the three of them walked back to their family room together.
When Yang Haiyan delivered lunch yesterday at noon, she told Qin Fang to come home for breakfast after work, so she kept the breakfast warm in the pot. She had just made the soap liquid and was putting it into the wooden model. It was made on the 19th and delivered to Yongji on the morning of the 21st. She chose to make it today because it was a good day and because she would not hide this from Qin Fang. Some things need to be agreed upon by both parties.
Qin Fang arrived at the door of his house and saw smoke still coming out of the pipe and sheets and quilts drying in the yard. The yard, which had been deserted, was now filled with the smell of fireworks.
Qin Fang calmed himself down and suppressed the beating of his heart: "I'm back." Then, he saw his wife coming out of the kitchen, "Are you back? Come and have breakfast first, take a warm shower after breakfast, then go to sleep and rest. I'll make you something delicious for lunch."
Qin Fang's stern brows softened: "Okay." There was someone waiting for him at home, someone washing clothes and cooking for him. At that moment, his heart was touched and felt particularly soft.
Qin Fang walked closer to the kitchen. This place was different from his hometown. His hometown in the countryside had a main hall, but this place didn't. Here there was only a kitchen and three empty rooms. All meals were eaten in the kitchen. The kitchen was not large, but it was enough for a young couple to eat, and it was spacious enough even if there were two children.
Qin Fang put down the 35 kilograms of food: "What's that smell? It smells so good." He saw two wooden boards on the table again. What are these
Yang Haiyan served him a bowl of bone porridge, brought it to the table, and pointed at the soap model and asked, "Is this the scent?"
Qin Fang: "Yes, what is this?" He asked while drinking the porridge in big mouthfuls. There was not much meat on the bones in the bone porridge, but the nutrients in the bones were stewed out, and it was very tasty.
Yang Haiyan: "This is soap, just like soap and soapberry. You will know when you use it when you take a bath later." She continued to pour the soap liquid that had not been poured out. "I just made this and then went to Yongji to exchange it with the shopkeeper for money."
Qin Fang was surprised: "You... you can make soapberry pancreas?" Isn't that amazing
Yang Haiyan: "I learned it after I came here. When I was in Yang's house, I read some books and saw the method in the books, but I never made it. After I came here, I went to the street one day and saw a peddler selling this. He was selling it for 20 coins. I thought of this, so I tried to make it myself. I didn't expect it to be successful."
Qin Fang: "You are amazing. This twenty cents?" It is more expensive than a pound of meat, and she has so much here, isn't it? But Qin Fang didn't think much about it. He is a man, and it is a man's responsibility to support his family. He didn't think about using Yang Haiyan's money. She made money, and it was her private money.
Yang Haiyan observed his expression and saw that he was only surprised but not greedy. She was very satisfied: "But I pay Yongji according to the wholesale price, 18 cents a piece, and 100 yuan on the first day of every ten days." This matter must not be hidden from Qin Fang. In the original novel, no matter how the original owner did it, Qin Fang endured it. Even after they got married, they never had a wedding night, but Qin Fang did not blame the original owner, which shows his character. Besides, she planned to live with Qin Fang, so she should not be satisfied with such a thing. And the shopkeeper also investigated her and knew that she was Qin Fang's wife, so it would be even worse to hide it.
Qin Fang was shocked when he heard this. Doesn't that mean he can earn 1,800 coins in ten days? That's almost as much as his monthly salary for two months. His wife is so capable, so he has to work harder.
Yang Haiyan: "In fact, we can do more every ten days, but if we do too much and purchase materials in large quantities, everyone will know what these things are made of, which will easily arouse suspicion. So I do this every ten days, and I also told the shopkeeper that I hired someone to help me do it."
Qin Fang: "You decide." After a pause, he said, "We can say later that you and I did it together, but you have to tell me how you did it." Otherwise, it will be exposed.
After hearing this, Yang Haiyan thought this man was smart. Seeing that he had finished a bowl of bone porridge, she served him another bowl: "Okay. Eat slowly." She took the wooden model with the soap solution to the empty room.
Qin Fang was curious, so he went to see it with the bone porridge in his hand.
This room was used as a guest room. When we have children in the future, it will be used as a sleeping room for them. But now we have no children and no guests, so it is empty. Yang Haiyan cleaned it up and used it as a storage room.
Qin Fang went to see the remaining two rooms. The bedroom had a wardrobe, a closet, a table and chairs, and a shoe cabinet at the door. Some of the cabinets were new to him, but the room was warm and cozy. He went to another room, which was set up as a study, and there were bookshelves, but there were no books on them.
If he had seen these things a month ago, he would have thought that there was not much left. But now his heart was beating fast, and there was a kind of pain that was hard to describe, filling his heart. Although it was sore, he felt happy.
He finished his porridge, washed the bowl and pot, and then looked at the remaining half bucket of water. He picked up two large wooden buckets and went to fetch water. When he fetched the water, Yang Haiyan had already taken out the hot water from the pot and put it in a wooden bucket specially used for bathing water.
Yang Haiyan: "Go take a shower quickly. Put your clean clothes in the clean rattan basket in the bathroom."
Qin Fang: "Hey."
While taking a shower, Qin Fang curiously tried the soap that Yang Haiyan had put in it. As a result, a lot of bubbles came out, and a lot of dirt was rubbed out. Speaking of which, the soldiers were not clean. They were either on duty or training. There were only men in the room. Sometimes they went to sleep when they were tired, so they didn't have time to take a shower every day. Even if they took a shower, they just rinsed it off. Sometimes the wind was strong, and the dust on their bodies couldn't be washed away at all.
So today Qin Fang took a nice bath and washed his hair with soap. He smelled it and thought it was very comfortable even if he was a bit careless.
After taking a shower, Qin Fang went to get Huanxi's clothes, and then... Qin Fang was dumbfounded. What kind of clothes are these? Qin Fang looked at the underwear made of black fine cotton cloth, and his ears turned red. Because he knew how to wear it, he knew it by looking at the appearance. It was because he knew that he felt a little ashamed. You know, these pants are even more fitted than underwear.
Qin Fang picked up the underwear curiously and put it on. After putting it on, his face became hot and he felt nervous and shy. But it is undeniable that these pants are really comfortable to wear. They are very comfortable to wear. The size of these pants fits well and can wrap the bottom well without shaking. Especially the bulge... Qin Fang himself is embarrassed to look at it. But as a man, he feels a little proud. This is his capital.
