With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.
Chapter 487 Celebrating the New Year with the Soldiers in Advance
These explosives were the most powerful high explosives in my previous life, with unimaginable power, and they all had chemical names that my father couldn't understand even after I explained them to him.
Huo Jing smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
Before the main army arrived, Nangong Wu replaced the small helicopter with the large one.
They took out a plastic sheet, unfolded it, and laid it on the ground, ready to put the grain there.
It's now the coldest time of the year. Although it's not as cold as Lindongguan, it's snowing here, though not heavily, only about a foot deep.
Nangong Wu glanced at her watch; the temperature was -6 degrees Celsius. It was daytime now, but it would get colder at night.
Huo Jing, Li An, Ai Lin, and several other children also came to help.
Because the army had stopped marching temporarily, Nangong Wu had enough food to last for ten days.
The ten carriages driven by Li Cheng, Li Ke, and the other ten Flying Feather Guards arrived first.
They were so surprised to see that Huo Jing was also helping out that they quickly got out of the car.
"Your Highness, I can do these chores!" Li Ke helped Huo Jing up.
Li Cheng brought over a folding chair, unfolded it, and let Huo Jing sit down.
When Huo Jing saw that they had all arrived, he didn't insist and sat down with the children to wait.
With the help of these ten people, Nangong Wu was able to move her things out much faster.
When Li Feng arrived with his army, they saw a large area of stacks of grain, covered with plastic sheeting and labeled with notes.
There is rice, wheat flour, millet, noodles, all kinds of vegetables (the supermarket automatically replenishes them), pork, beef, mutton, chicken, and eggs. Some of these meats are already available in the store, while others are purchased here.
There are also many cases of wine, all from that supermarket, including quite a few famous brands.
It's Chinese New Year, let the soldiers have some good wine too.
Among them, stacks of steamed buns were the most numerous.
Because most of the soldiers liked to eat steamed buns, but the army's logistics only carried large pots and did not have steamers to steam buns.
Therefore, Eileen would produce steamed buns whenever she had time, and then arrange the finished buns in large boxes.
Since she's a robot, she can work as long as her body has electricity and doesn't need to rest. If she doesn't have time to recharge, she just carries batteries with her.
There are still a few piles of horse feed left, and now there are already three thousand horses in the team.
The fodder was purchased by Nangong Xiao through a notice posted on the mountain; people from the city went up the mountain to cut it and sell it to them.
In addition to hay, there is also concentrated feed. Horses need to eat well when they travel long distances.
There is also a very large volcano called Chaihu.
She brought these from Runan City; they were all timber for building houses, and they had been soaked in water. After the houses were demolished, she stored them all in her space so that the army would have firewood.
"Have everyone set up camp and cook now. We can eat once the army arrives," Nangong Wu instructed.
It's just past Shen Shi (3-5 PM) now; it will be dark in an hour and a half.
Upon hearing this, Li Feng immediately went to make arrangements, with some setting up camp and others starting to cook, and first boiling water to wash the meat and vegetables.
As the number of soldiers increased, Li Feng instructed them to set up tents around the grain stacks.
In the past, when marching columns were long, each centurion was responsible for a cooking stove.
Now that they are staying here for the New Year, the stoves are being built in ten different locations.
Li Feng went to inspect the mountain of timber and found that there were many planks that were in good condition.
"That wood can be used to make temporary tables."
"Then let's use them." Nangong Wu also came over. "The army will be staying here for ten days, so making some tables would be good."
With hundreds of thousands of troops, there are plenty of people to spare.
"Someone come here!" Li Feng shouted.
Several lieutenants immediately ran over.
"Princess, General."
"Call some people to find some wood. Make tables where they can be made, and stools where they can be made," Li Feng instructed.
"yes!"
The lieutenants agreed and sent men to search for suitable wood to make tables and stools.
Nangong Wu then took out some tools, such as a hammer and nails.
"Eileen, bring out all the tables and stools from the space!"
Her supermarket has a lot of tall and short plastic stools, the kind that can be stacked up and taken out for the soldiers to sit on.
"Then you go into the tent, I'll see you out," Eileen replied.
"Okay." Nangong Wu walked into a tent.
Two hours passed.
The last soldiers arrived, by which time it was already almost half an hour dark.
The area that Nangong Wu found was relatively flat for several miles around. Some small trees and bushes had all been cut down by the soldiers, and the place was full of people.
The tables made by the soldiers stretched for more than a mile and consisted of more than a dozen rows.
Inside the main tent, the Flying Feather Guards kept carrying in basins of meat and vegetables, as well as steaming buns and rice, which were then loaded onto the ten carts and delivered along the way.
These meat dishes were all made by Erin; they're not a mixed stew.
There are braised pork belly, braised spare ribs, braised mutton, chicken stew with mushrooms, beef stew with radish, roast duck and roast goose, braised fish, boiled fish, prawns, and about ten main dishes.
As for the dishes the soldiers cooked, there was minced meat stewed with tofu, with a little chili, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and cabbage cooked with glass noodles.
The soldiers were quite surprised to see such a sumptuous meal on the wooden table.
Because these dishes are quite troublesome to make, and there are so many of them, it can't be done in just one or two hours.
Little did they know, Eileen had already started making these dishes, preparing them little by little, putting them in a pot, and covering them with a lid to keep them warm and fresh.
There were several hundred generals of the fifth rank or above in the army, who gathered together separately. Each table had a hot pot and wine cups.
At the head of the table sat Huo Jing, Nangong Wu, the Li Feng couple, the Li Cheng couple, and several children.
Nangong Wu stood up, holding her wine cup. "Soldiers, you've worked hard! The Lunar New Year is just two days away, but because we have so much to do, my father and I have to come early to celebrate with you all..."
Upon hearing this, the generals also stood up, holding their wine cups, and shouted in unison:
"Long live the Prince! Long live the Princess!"
Upon hearing this, the other soldiers also stood up and shouted loudly, "Long live the Prince! Long live the Princess!"
The shouts of "Long live the Emperor!" from 300,000 soldiers were loud and clear, each shout louder than the last, deafening, like rolling waves echoing in the night sky.
Nangong Wu had no choice but to stop.
The sound gradually stopped after about 15 minutes.
Li Feng raised his wine cup and said, "Princess, the soldiers are very happy that you can come with my godfather to celebrate the New Year with us. This cup is for my godfather and for you. I also wish my godfather good health and longevity."
The generals then shouted again:
"Wishing Your Highness good health and a long and blessed life!"
"Wishing Your Highness good health and a long and blessed life!"
Loud shouts rang out again, wave after wave, echoing across the open plains, their lingering sound fading away!
Seeing the soldiers' enthusiasm, Nangong Wu walked up to the ordinary soldiers and raised her wine cup.
"This toast is to everyone! Next year, when the army returns to Runan City, we will build a peaceful and prosperous world together, so that the army can live a life free from worry about food and clothing, and no longer be oppressed!"
She believed that she had the ability to bring prosperity to Runan Prefecture, Jianggang Prefecture, and the people who came to them for refuge.
"Long live the Princess!"
"Long live the Princess!"
This time the shouts were even louder than before.
Thank you everyone!
Nangong Wu tilted her head back and drank the wine in her cup in one gulp.
