Chapter 14 The Price

Gongsun Yan took the supplements she bought randomly and put them into the system backpack, but did not take the food from Zhao Yun's hand.

Eat it quickly, she said with her eyes: "While no one sees it."

What does it mean to eat while no one is watching? Zhao Yun couldn't laugh or cry. It was nothing at first, but she felt guilty after she told him about eating alone.

But thinking so, Zhao Yun still followed Gongsun Yan's instructions and tore open an oil paper bag.

When I opened it, I saw a dark-colored egg. It must have been boiled with some spices, and it exuded an attractive fragrance.

Zhao Yun couldn't help but glance at Gongsun Yan again. Eggs could be boiled and peeled, so this magical power was very convenient.

Holding the egg, Zhao Yun took a tentative bite and his eyes widened instantly.

As soon as he chewed the egg, a salty aroma instantly filled his mouth. Not only the egg white but also the yolk was very tasty. Even if he looked carefully, he couldn't tell what spices were used.

Seeing the way his eyebrows relaxed after taking a bite of braised eggs, Gongsun Yan felt that he had developed some of Zhao Yun's foodie attributes.

After tasting one piece each of the braised egg and chicken drumstick, Zhao Yun refused to eat the rest. He put it into the inner pocket of his army coat and ate the remaining bread while holding only the bread bag.

Gongsun Yan was also holding bread in his mouth, and the two of them continued to sort through the list while eating.

"This kettle is?"

"That's it." Gongsun Yan casually bought one from the trading machine and handed it to Zhao Yun, "You can't use your helmet to cook and eat every day, right?"

The kettle Gongsun Yan mentioned is an old-fashioned kidney-shaped kettle. The enlarged and thickened version has a handle, which can be placed directly on the campfire for burning. Each item is ordered one, and it also comes with a kettle fastening belt that can be tied around the waist.

"So...are snow boots boots?"

"Yeah! The fur is one piece, with a waterproof outer layer and wool inside." Gongsun Yan, like a salesman, bought another sample and handed it over.

This time, they are nail-proof labor-protection large-cap boots. You can buy a pair at 5 material points. They are warm and solid. The thick soles are embedded with nail-proof plates. Even if you step on an arrow blade on the battlefield, you will not be afraid of hurting your feet.

She had already noticed that even Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan, in theory, should be much better than the soldiers outside, but they still only had thin leather boots, and Wang Wu still had Gebu boots on his feet. It seems that ordinary soldiers would only wear worse clothes.

With this kind of equipment, if you really walk in the snowy field, someone might get amputated from the cold.

"What's a windproof hat?" Zhao Yun felt shocked.

Everything that comes out of Gongsun Yan's hands is made of solid materials, thick and warm, and its uses are even more eye-opening.

Zhao Yun was driven into the same shopping frenzy as Gongsun Yan by these novel things.

"This is a windproof hat." Gongsun Yan took out a one-piece cotton Lei Feng hat.

The same waterproof material is made of cotton and velvet inside. Fasten the collar and pull up the mask. Only the eyes are exposed on the whole head. Then buckle the included anti-fog goggles and cover them tightly. It is definitely enough to keep you warm.

She also listed thickened thermal underwear, cotton socks, thread gloves, and thickened cold-resistant labor protection cotton pants, plus a polar mummy sleeping bag for each person.

Although they are all cheap labor insurance products, they are much better than the best thermal equipment of the Han Dynasty.

Zhao Yun was overjoyed to see it. Which general in the past who led troops in battle would dislike his team's equipment being too good?

No matter how salty you are, you won’t!

What's more, Zhao Yun cherishes his soldiers so much. The better the cold-proof equipment, the fewer people will fall in this snowy field.

"Can Lady Gongsun really be able to conjure so many things?" Zhao Yun stood up happily.

"Dang, uh... we can't do that for the time being." Before Gongsun Yan nodded confidently, he thought of his balance.

"Huh?" Even Zhao Yun almost couldn't hold his nerve. What do you mean if he can't change it?

"It's just that I can't take it out today." Seeing Zhao Yun's smile freeze instantly, and his eyes even showed a moment of grievance when he looked at her, Gongsun Yan hurriedly explained: "It will be fine in four days."

Her original balance was 6504.

I bought clothes and toiletries for myself and A Cheng for 80, but after washing A Cheng clean, the system rewarded me with 100 points, leaving 6524 points.

Subtract the 50 spent on nutritional supplements and food, and the 36 spent on samples, leaving a total of 6,438. Of course, I can’t afford it all at once.

According to her assumption, a soldier's complete set of cold-proof equipment would cost 36 points.

But now they are in a deserted village, they have a camp that is protected from the wind, they don't have to trek through the snowfields, and they don't need polar sleeping bags or anything like that for the time being.

Each soldier is warm and full, and will bring her 2960 points of income every day. She only needs four days to save enough!

"That's it." Zhao Yun breathed a sigh of relief and sat back on the small horse. This feeling of being dazzled and being told that it didn't exist is really exciting. He is only 23 years old and his qi-raising skills are not so good that he can't move even with the eight winds.

While feeling reassured, Zhao Yun was a little worried and asked Gongsun Yan again the question he had always cared about, "Ms. Gongsun, do you really need to pay for giving out so many things?"

Is the God of the system so kind and selfless?

"Do we need to prepare sacrifices?" Or build temples to recruit believers?

"No, the God of the system does not need others to kowtow and burn incense, or recite the true name." Gongsun Yan shook his head with a smile and said: "It only needs more people to be alive, fed and clothed."

Zhao Yun was stunned. Does such a god really exist?

Gongsun Yan didn't know what he was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely tell him, yes, it exists! It's just a god in another sense.

Patting his arm, Gongsun Yan brought him back to his senses, "Then let's customize the food standards for the soldiers during the rest days!"

"Food standard?" In this era, there is no such thing as a food standard. It is good for a soldier to survive every day. Even the most elite white horse Yi Cong under Gongsun Zan may not be able to eat every meal.

"According to the situation of leisure time and war time, we divide the ranks into A, B, C and three to provide daily meals for the soldiers." Gongsun Yan nodded and handed over the notebook in his hand.

"Now in the deserted village, everyone is injured, so let's take advantage of these few days to take good care of ourselves."

"Just two kilograms of dried noodles a day, two coins of salt, and then..." Gongsun Yan paused and made some mental preparations, "and then put those horses with injured hoofs..."

"Madam, please don't worry. I will take care of it myself." Zhao Yun saw her hesitation and naivety.

Although Zhao Yun is kind-hearted and kind-hearted by nature, he has lived in the war-torn northern Hebei region since he was a child. He followed his father and brother to fight against the Yellow Turban thieves and barbarians when he was young. He has long been accustomed to the cruelty of this troubled world.

For him, horses are partners on the battlefield, but it is extremely unrealistic to carry these injured horses across the snowfield. It is only a matter of time before the order to kill the horses is issued.

Since Lady Gongsun can't bear it, it would be nice if he could do some things.

"Then General Lao will be here." Gongsun Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he chuckled at his own hypocrisy, and couldn't make up his mind to kill pigs for army rations. If he were a pig, he would be in a relaxed mood, and he could even drool over the thought of killing pigs for food.

The world where only the second senior brother was injured is so cruel and unreasonable.
