Chapter 189 - 189 184 A Crazy Idea
?Chapter 189: Chapter 184: A Crazy Idea Chapter 189: Chapter 184: A Crazy Idea Before the rain stopped as quickly as it had come, sending temperatures plummeting by several degrees. Lu Jingqiu was now layered with thermal underwear under her clothes, as training at the military base intensified.
Recently, Lu Jingqiu had received another assignment from the cooperative to paint a few bird-and-flower pictures.
Her second cousin and Wei Jincheng had returned as well, and just yesterday they delivered sheepskin to the clothing factory to be urgently processed into woolen cotton coats.
Lu Jingqiu couldn’t shake the feeling that something was afoot in the army. This year was different; in the past, the thickest clothing they procured for the troops were heavy military coats to be worn over wool trousers.
Worried about her father, who hadn’t been home much lately, Lu Jingqiu traded several yards of velvet cloth coupons with Luo Xinyue and went to purchase cotton from Xue Jianian.
She had made cotton pants for her father and Jiang Nanzhou, and even for her uncle.
Since it was Xue Jianian’s first year as a new bride, she had followed Lu Jingqiu’s example and prepared two sets for Wei Jincheng.
No sooner had Lu Jingqiu arrived at Xue Jianian’s place, than Jianian asked if she wanted some mutton chunks.
“Of course, how much do you have?”
Xue Jianian pointed to the beef, sheep, pig meat, and poultry on the floor, pushed them around a bit, and there must have been at least seven or eight hundred pounds.
Lu Jingqiu had come specifically to buy beef, but upon hearing there was dried meat available, naturally, she wanted some.
“An entire sheep, but I don’t have any fresh meat; it’s all been made into mutton chunks. I’ve seen Jincheng running around with the leaders recently, and I don’t know what he’s busy with. The food outside can’t always be timely, so I thought of making some mutton chunks. It’s my grandmother’s craft. I made plenty. Do you want some? Five dollars per can.”
