After collecting the straw sandals, there were only a hundred and twenty pairs of straw sandals left.

The remaining people who had not knitted their straw sandals were standing around and unable to leave.

Li Mengxi was speechless. There was a huge crowd. He thought that many people had knitted shoes. There were only a hundred and twenty people who dared to knit straw sandals. The rest were just joining in the fun.

Seeing that the peasants were staying together for a long time, Liu Bei said with a smile, "Everyone, if you want to exchange for food, you should knit the straw sandals early. We only accept a thousand pairs, and we won't accept them after we finish."

The people then dispersed.

At this time, Guan Yu and the Yellow Turban general Wang Lu came together again.

When Liu Bei saw the two of them coming, he ignored Guan Yu and bowed to Wang Lu casually with a natural smile on his face, "How is your night, General Wang Lu?"

Wang Lu was busy and raised his hand in return, "Okay, okay!"

Li Mengxi could see from the sidelines that Wang Lu was a little flattered.

Liu Xuande's move was clearly because he saw Wang Lu's new arrival and treated him politely and thoughtfully.

No, Guan Yu, Liu Bei ignored him and directly said hello to Wang Lu behind Guan Yu.

Li Mengxi learned something more.

Guan Yu glanced at the pile of straw sandals on the grain truck and said, "Xi'er, I'll take these shoes."

Li Mengxi didn't care at all about a few pairs of straw sandals, but he was curious about what Guan Yu was doing with the straw sandals.

Li Mengxi raised his head and looked at Guan Yu. Guan Yu seemed to understand what Li Mengxi was thinking and said, "I am fighting in the barracks and there is someone who has no shoes. These shoes just come in handy."

"Oh!" Li Mengxi suddenly realized that he had ignored this matter.

The arrangement of the civilian husbands is different from that of the soldiers. The civilian husbands can have no shoes, and the civilian husbands will pick straw shoes by themselves. However, the soldiers have to follow Guan Yu to practice running, and they cannot run very far without bare feet before their feet become useless.

Thinking of this, Li Mengxi hurriedly asked, "The army has expanded a lot. Are there enough cooking utensils, bedding, bowls and chopsticks?"

Guan Yu smiled and said, "I came here just for this reason."

——

Guan Yu's troops have expanded to more than 800 people. There are many new soldiers, and naturally they need a lot of supplies.

In the forward battalion, the corporal commander of the forward battalion finished counting the things that the recruits lacked. "Two straw mats, bowls, chopsticks, water bottles, nothing else?" the corps commander asked.

"Nothing else!" The recruit nodded hurriedly.

When the corps commander was about to turn around and leave, the corner of his eye caught sight of the recruit's shoes. The recruit was wearing a pair of hemp shoes. The hemp shoes were worn out, with the toes protruding, and the soles looked worn through.

"Do you want some shoes?" the corporal asked.

The recruit was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the shoes under his feet, "No... no, I have shoes!"

The recruits are timid and dare not ask for anything.

The team leader nodded without saying anything, "We have straw sandals here. I'll get you a pair."

After saying that, the corps commander left.

The corps commander, together with other corps commanders, was led by the second general from the forward camp to the transport camp.

When we arrived at the supply camp, the first thing we saw were carts pulled by animals. The carts were piled with grain bags, which were held tightly by ropes.

When we arrived at the baggage train, where the baggage camp's sundries were stored, there were not many manuscript mats and straw mats, but straw sandals, which were quite a bit piled up in a pile.

The corps leader went to get the straw mat and stood in line. Before he could get it, the person handing out the stuff said he didn't have any more and had finished giving it out.

This made the corps leader and others immediately angry. They had it for others, but it was gone for me?

The corps commanders started to quarrel.

Guan Yu came over and yelled, and the corps commanders became honest.

Li Mengxi looked at some of the people who were still empty-handed, and said apologetically, "There is a shortage of things now. For those who haven't received it, remember what they are each. When there are enough straw mats next time, remember to come back to get it."

After listening to Li Mengxi's explanation, Shi Changshuo gave me some advice, "Don't we also have straw mats in the civilian camp? Can't we just collect a few?"

Li Mengxi immediately laughed and scolded, "There are people's camps! Women and children also have straw mats, go and get them! How dare a man of seven feet to take something from the old and the weak, huh?"

After being scolded by Li Mengxi, the chiefs laughed together, and the face of the chief who suggested going to the peasants' business to collect straw mats suddenly turned red.

It was a pity that the corps leader who came to receive the straw mat didn't receive it, but I thought it was nothing.

On the contrary, the corps commander was a little lucky. Fortunately, the military advisor did not agree to take the civilian husband's things. The corps commander's uncle could not serve as a soldier because he was old and weak, and was now in the civilian husband's camp.

If he really collects things from the people's income, the corps leader will worry about whether the old man's seat will be taken away. The old man has a stubborn temper. If others take his things and he doesn't give them back, what should he do if he gets into trouble again?

Fortunately, you don’t have to worry about all this.

The military advisor would not allow the civilians to take their belongings.

Draft mats and straw mats, two things used as beds, are actually relatively scarce, and it is difficult to replenish them at present, and there is no way to produce them.

Let’s not talk about straw mats. They have to be carefully woven with reed strips, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Li Mengxi did not know the production details of other daily necessities in the late Han Dynasty, but Li Mengxi, the editor of the manuscript, knew everything about them.

In his previous life, my grandfather was born before liberation in the old era, and he knew how to edit articles.

The manuscript mat is made of wheat straw, and the frame is tied with fine hemp ropes. When editing the manuscript mat, the door panel must be turned sideways as a support, and broken bricks must be tied to the hemp rope to serve as a shuttle in a loom.

Thread twine.

In my previous life, my grandfather had edited so many pieces of broken bricks that the edges and corners of the bricks were worn away, and they became round, like pebbles washed out by the river.

For the editor's desk, you have to use the door panel to side up as a shelf, and you have to stand and use bricks tied with hemp rope as a shuttle to shuttle back and forth. Because of the difficulty of production, it is impossible to produce it with the army like straw sandals.

The remaining manuscript space now is actually the relics left by the Xiangyong and Yellow Turban soldiers who died during the attack on the mountain.

In the battle to attack Qingyun Mountain, more than 100 people were directly killed among the 500 warriors who attacked the mountain, and countless others were seriously or lightly injured.

Therefore, there are more than 100 spare manuscript seats.

The team leader did not receive the straw mat, but when he received the water bag, he was afraid that he would arrive late and not get it, so he ran very fast and finally succeeded in receiving the water bag.

"Commander, my people are still short of bowls." The corps commander who got the water bag asked Li Mengxi for a bowl.

Li Mengxi turned around and glanced at the Wu Commander with a smile.

Saying "the recruits are short of bowls" and "my people are short of bowls" are two different emotions. The latter treats the recruits as one of their own.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Probably, just in case it was just said casually.

"If you are short of a bowl, stand over here. We will go get the bowl later."

Li Mengxi was talking to everyone.

There is really no stock of bowls.

But, I can collect some.

After the chiefs and corps commanders had received supplies such as manuscript mats, water bags, weapons, etc., Li Mengxi led the people to the carpenter camp.

The carpenter camp is quite hard-working. The half hour before setting off in the morning is a specially set aside training time every day. During this short period of time, the carpenter camp saws, planes, and chisels.

, busy and busy.

When Lu Li saw Li Mengxi coming, he hurriedly handed the saw in his hand to another man, who came up to him.

"Yingzheng!" Lu Li shouted.

The place where Li Mengxi collected bowls was the carpenter camp.

Some time ago, Li Mengxi saw a carpenter using broken wood and using an adze to carve out a large bowl for himself. Therefore, there should be many people in the carpenter camp who took the time to make spare bowls.

"Lu Li, you craftsmen should bring me your own bowls first. You can make bowls out of wood later, can you do it?"

Lu Lilian said that the bowl is easy to make and can be made.

What Li Mengxi wanted was all the bowls from the carpenter camp. Lu Li carried out the order 100%. Lu Li went around and collected all the bowls. There was a pile on the ground.

"Here are the bowls. Come and pick them. Take the ones that are missing. Don't take more. Also, when you pick up the bowls, check to see if they are cracked. If they are cracked, just pick them up."

The team leader picked out a bowl and someone was handing out chopsticks.

Chopsticks are more gadgets than kilns. Carpenters may not make a bowl for everyone, but everyone can shave themselves a pair of good, round and smooth chopsticks.

Chopsticks are very simple things. A carpenter in the carpenter camp can cut twenty or thirty pairs of chopsticks at night.

Although the chopsticks couldn't be simpler, looking at the thin and round chopsticks, they are not as comfortable as eating with branches. The captain thought the chopsticks were good. After asking for two pairs, he asked for another pair and planned to use them himself.

After collecting the supplies, there were not many bowls left, so they were all returned to the carpenter camp.

The carpenters can take care of the bowls themselves. As for the lack of bowls in the past few days, they take turns eating and make do for two days.

——

The corps commander who went to get things for the new recruits returned to the vanguard camp with the things, "Here, pick up the things!"

With that said, the corps leader threw the copy mat to the recruit, who hurriedly stretched out his hands to hug it.

The corps commander also threw the bowl on the manuscript table, along with chopsticks and a pair of straw sandals for the new recruits.

All of a sudden, there were a lot of things. Although the things were not valuable, the courtesy was light but the affection was heavy.

The corps commander was still urging him to quickly change his shoes. Marching in a pair of worn-out shoes was not enough.
