Crossing the famine: The hunter's wife has good farmland
Chapter 163 Making Soft Armor
"You hang out with those grown men all day, who would tell you that? If you don't believe me, go back and ask them if they have heard any rumors about Lu Hua."
"Okay, then I'll go back and ask them today. If it's really as you said, then...then I'll marry Luhua. If anyone dares to gossip about Luhua again, I'll smash their heads!"
"If you want to marry Luhua, you need to behave yourself and pursue Sister Luhua. After all, you have caused Sister Luhua so much harm, and Sister Luhua may not necessarily like you!"
"That's impossible. I'm so powerful, and I'm the second best warrior after Fu Cang. There are so many people who want to marry me. I just hook my finger at Lu Hua and she will come over to me. Do you believe it?"
"I don't believe it. Now you should go back to the barracks. It won't be good if you stay here for too long."
Xiong Ben left. Mo Xiaonian didn't know whether what she did was right or wrong. She just didn't want to see Sister Luhua live such a hard life. If Xiong Ben was by her side in the future, no one would dare to bully Luhua.
Fu Cang returned home after dark, and as soon as he got home he started complaining of being hungry, so Mo Xiaonian prepared a plate of greasy pork pies for him.
"How can you be so hungry? Isn't there a mess hall in the barracks?"
"The food that cook makes is terrible. I never feel full. I have to change the cook to cook better food.
By the way, I heard that you guys sold all the vegetables you grew today?"
Mo Xiaonian nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, yes, the spinach in our fields has matured and can be harvested. We harvested more than 200 bundles today. Sister Luhua and Sister Yinzhi carried them to the market, but when they came back in the evening, there were only more than ten bundles left.
Sister Luhua said that the vegetables we grow are the best in the entire market, so they sell particularly well.
By the way, Fu Cang, if you eat vegetables every day in the military camp, you can come to us to buy spinach. Spinach is very nutritious, but it needs to be blanched before eating because there is too much oxalic acid in spinach. It is safe to eat after blanching.
But we have to make it clear that if you go to the vegetable garden to buy vegetables, you need to pay for them."
"Of course. Who do you think I am? How can you eat vegetables without paying? If I leave such an impression on those soldiers, it will be very bad. In the future, they will have to go to the fields to get what they want to eat, and I will punish them by military law!"
Mo Xiaonian reached out and patted Fu Cang on the head.
"You are quite powerful now. You even know the military laws!"
Fu Cang grabbed Mo Xiaonian's hand and rubbed it hard twice.
"I'm telling you, only you dare to touch my head! But Xiao Nian, your hands don't look like working hands at all. Look at how white, soft and tender they are, without even a speck of mud or callus on them!"
Mo Xiaonian would never say that she doesn't have to do any work in the fields, as others rush to do it every day.
"This shows that I protected him well! How are your preparations for making soft armor going?"
"I told the Great Elder that she has already started looking for someone skillful and clever to do it. She said that this matter is very important, so she has to put the current work on hold, and she will personally bring a woman to do this matter."
Mo Xiaonian tapped her lips and made up her mind.
“As the chief elder of the tribe, Grandma really can’t just farm the land all the time and do nothing else. Our tribe is already so busy.
I will hire two farmhands tomorrow and give them five taels of silver a year to work on the land for us. This way, my grandmother, Sister Luhua and I can be freed up to do more important things!"
Fu Cang particularly agreed with this matter.
He had long wanted to stop letting Mo Xiaonian work. With those weak arms and legs, how could she do such tiring work in the fields!
It was easier before he formed the army, as he could help them with all the heavy work. But now he doesn't have the time at all, and Mo Xiaonian and Yue Lu have to do everything by themselves. He feels so distressed.
Therefore, Fu Cang nodded very readily.
"Okay, I think we should have done this a long time ago. I have military pay too. I will give you all my military pay when the time comes. I don't want a penny, so you don't have to worry about the money at all."
Mo Xiaonian hugged Fu Cang's arm and laughed.
She likes Fu Cang like this, so manly and domineering.
Although there were female workers to make soft armor, the leather they purchased was still insufficient.
Fu Cang was made according to the standard of one hundred people, and the number of skins required was extremely large. Most of the skins that the people of Yueluo tribe had accumulated before were exchanged at the market for silver to support their lives. In addition, after coming here, the number of hunting trips has obviously decreased, so these people really have no skins left.
Mo Xiaonian knew that the leather was not enough, so she pulled Fucan to the area where the Wild Wolf Tribe lived.
They have no more, but the Wild Wolf Tribe has never stopped hunting, so they should still have a lot.
Xiao Tu was preparing to leave with his twelve soldiers. When he saw Fu Cang and Mo Xiaonian coming over, he thought they were going to chase him away, so he hurriedly said, "We are already packing up and will leave tomorrow."
Fu Cang used to be very annoyed with Xiao Tu, but after getting to know him for some time, he felt that Xiao Tu was a pretty good person and a very powerful figure. He would definitely be of great benefit to his tribe in the future. Moreover, if he could join the army, he would definitely become his right-hand man. Therefore, Fu Cang smiled at him very good-naturedly.
"What are you thinking? I don't mean to chase you away. This is your home after all."
Xiao Tu didn't expect that Fu Cang could actually say such emotional words. He was really moved.
Fu Cang pulled him aside and said, "Do the people in your tribe still have a lot of furs? I came here to ask you about this. If they plan to sell the furs, I will buy them at the market price if I see any that are suitable. No matter how much, I want them!"
Xiao Tu was really shocked by Fu Cang's generosity.
"What do you need so much leather for? If you keep it for too long, it will get infested with worms!"
Fu Cang told Xiao Tu about his plan to make soft armor for the soldiers.
Xiao Tu was completely confused after hearing this.
"Soft armor? What the hell is that?"
Fu Cang told him that he didn't understand, so he simply dragged him to the military camp and showed Xiao Tu the set of soft armor that Mo Xiaonian gave him.
"Look, this is it. These hard leathers can protect our chest and abdomen, and blunt knives and guns can't penetrate them.
Wearing this thing, the soldier's survivability can be greatly improved."
