With Pinxixi in hand, I have a supermarket in the Changzheng!

Everyone turned around and saw that many ox carts were coming towards them.

At the front of the ox cart was the Minister of Ordnance Chen Gang and a man wearing a neat Zhongshan suit.

A sharp-eyed female warrior saw what was on the ox cart and exclaimed in excitement.

"Sewing machine! It's a sewing machine!"

It’s no wonder that she reacted so strongly. In that era, sewing machines were rare items and ordinary people could not afford them.

Only the wealthy families in the city can afford it, and many people in the village have never even seen it.

There were sewing machines on all these ox carts, which made everyone very happy.

Chen Gang walked towards everyone, and a young soldier who was less than twenty years old asked with a happy face.

"Minister Chen, are these the sewing machines that were just seized?"

After hearing this, Chen Gang looked at the man next to him.

The man in the Zhongshan suit was not angry, but smiled gently, with a very elegant temperament.

Chen Gang patted the young soldier on the head and said, "You silly boy! These are not captured items. They were funded by Mr. Cao."

Then he introduced the man next to him to everyone.

"This is Mr. Cao Jie Cao, a patriotic entrepreneur from Yangcheng. This time he not only sponsored us 100 sewing machines, but also promised to donate a pair of rubber shoes to each of us!"

After hearing this, the young soldier scratched his head embarrassedly.

"A pair of rubber shoes for everyone!"

Zhou Yue was shocked. With such a large team, that would mean more than 8 pairs of shoes!

This person is indeed very powerful!

Along the way, Zhou Yue observed that everyone was basically wearing straw sandals.

Straw sandals are very uncomfortable to wear, especially newly woven ones, which often cause blisters on your feet.

She has always wanted to provide everyone with a pair of shoes so that they can be more comfortable after walking so much every day.

But I have never found a suitable opportunity. I didn’t expect this patriotic entrepreneur to be so awesome!

After Chen Gang took the man away, Lin Xiuhua approached Zhou Yue.

"Ayue, can you use a sewing machine?"

Zhou Yue shook her head, "No."

In fact, she can, and she is very skilled at it.

Zhou Yue was raised by her grandmother, who often used the old-fashioned sewing machine at home to do some needlework, and she learned it by just watching and hearing.

But her current identity is that of a girl who has lived in the mountains since childhood and of course has never touched a sewing machine.

Lin Xiuhua took her hand and led her to a brand new sewing machine.

"It's very simple, let me teach you!"

After Lin Xiuhua taught him once or twice, Zhou Yue showed a strong learning ability and mastered it quickly.

In this camp, 100 sewing machines were working at the same time, making a clattering sound.

With a sewing machine, my efficiency has skyrocketed!

Everyone's division of labor was very clear. Some people were responsible for cutting the cloth with scissors, while others were responsible for evenly spreading the cotton between the military uniforms and the cloth.

If you can operate a sewing machine, you only need to be responsible for sewing the stitches and the edges.

The first two steps can be done even by people who don’t know how to sew, and many soldiers came to help spontaneously.

It's much faster if you only use the seam allowance for the stitching.

If you sew a hem by hand, it would take a long time, but with a sewing machine it can be done in seconds.

With such an assembly line operation, the efficiency is ridiculously high. Zhou Yue feels like the sewing machine is about to smoke!

At night, although there were no electric lights in the camp, clusters of torches lit up the camp very brightly.

Zhou Yue and Sister Xiuhua worked until after one in the morning, and finally they couldn't bear it anymore and fell into a deep sleep with their tired bodies.

Other soldiers then took over their positions, truly working day and night.

These days, Zhou Yue has devoted all her energy to this sewing machine and has no time to even cook for everyone.

Zhao Dashan and his team have been in charge of everyone's meals these days. It can be clearly seen that the food has improved a lot in recent days.

The porridge was no longer watery with only a few grains of rice, but thicker, with some dried meat and cabbage bought from farmers.

We did a lot of things during these two days, and the game of Landlord Bully was carried out very thoroughly.

Some landlords and bullies, including Gao Xiangui, were sent to labor camps, and their assets were distributed to everyone.

The work of sewing military uniforms was completed successfully, everyone was dressed warmly, and the wages of the villagers were also paid.

On the morning of the third day after the siege, the mighty Red Army was ready to set off.

The common people stood by the roadside and reluctantly saw them off, some of them secretly wiping away tears.

The arrival of the Red Army this time brought them so many benefits.

From then on, not only was he no longer bullied by the landlord bullies, but he also owned his own land.

As long as you are willing to work hard in the fields, the food from the fields will belong to you. How can the villagers not be grateful!

Each sewing machine donated by Mr. Cao weighs about 20 kilograms, so of course I can't carry so many with me.

I only brought five with me, and left the rest in the homes of some poor people. Anyone who wanted to use them could borrow them.

Five sewing machines were loaded into sacks and carried on the back of a mule.

This mule is much better than a donkey in carrying heavy objects. One mule can carry two to three hundred kilograms.

There are more mules in the team this time than before, probably because they bought some more in the county town.

After all, the supplies prepared this time were really a lot. Zhou Yue alone placed 10 kilograms of supplies in the enemy's warehouse.

The Red Army purchased a lot of supplies in Yangcheng. Many of them were unavailable or insufficient, so Mr. Cao went to other counties to get them back.

Each soldier was carrying large and small bags, and the mules' backs were full. Everyone was carrying more weight than before.

The troops have more supplies, which means they won’t have to go hungry in the future.

But when Zhou Yue thought about what was going to happen next, she was no longer happy.

Carrying so many things on the road nowadays and carrying too much weight is probably not a good thing!
