Song Tan's Notes

Chapter 1330. Foot Soaking Toy

  Even though it was far away in the frontier, the express delivery finally arrived at the outpost after several twists and turns!

"What is this?" Several large boxes were delivered, and the guys who came to pick up the express packages came over and looked at them carefully.

"I heard that the logistics department snatched them for us, and they're on sale. But the quantity is not large, so each person can have three or five bags."

  Three or five packs? Snacks? Everyone was shocked!

Don't blame me for being greedy, because it's really not available online here, and the canteen in the camp doesn't have anything you want. I finally have an hour to play with my phone every day, and I found something I liked online and was ready to buy it to try, but the other party still said, dear, shipping is not free.

Pay the postage yourself...after seeing the price, forget it.

At this moment, everyone was ready to open the box with knives in hand, but they were stopped by the logistics staff who came quickly:

"Go away, don't waste my good stuff. Wait and see how I distribute it." Just for this little thing, because it was not a necessity and there was suspicion of exaggerating its efficacy, he wrote two or three applications before it was approved.

If last year’s tea and egg condiment package had not been so excellent, this funding would never have been granted.

In short, now that they have bought it, they have to plan how to distribute it.

Whether it is houttuynia tea or mugwort tea, let’s try to make it available to everyone.

After all, the place we stayed in was dry and cold in the winter, so cold that even the bones were chilled. Moreover, everyone had been living in underground dormitories, so mugwort tea was really the right thing to do.

But at other times, my mouth becomes dry and parched, and I open it like the Bull Demon King's son, as if I want to spit out fire. Houttuynia cordata tea sounds very effective.

The logistics staff pushed the carts to transport the food back one by one, and the whole camp knew that they were about to have a good baby! What kind of snacks were they? In fact, the food here is also very good, and everyone is very strong. That's it...

If you want to eat but can't, you'll inevitably feel greedy.

After the news had been brewing among everyone for two or three days, finally! Everyone lined up and happily got them.

The first moment I unpacked the package after returning to the dorm was: ??? Did I get the wrong package?

  Next moment: ...That's it?!

At this moment, Zhan Ming in the dormitory stared at the thing in his hand and was completely dumbfounded.

He has been here for a year.

Before coming here, I was a happy college student who played games, ate snacks and drank Coke in the dormitory every day. After two years of college, I gained a lot of fat and white flesh.

Although it does not exceed the standard, my family members will think this is not acceptable.

It just so happened that the university was only a junior college, and it would be even harder to find a job given the current difficult employment situation, so his parents thought about it and encouraged him to sign up for the army.

  It’s good to join the army! It’s good to join the army!

It’s been a whole year since I was assigned here! I haven’t bought anything from the canteen. The last time I had snacks was during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, when my comrades gave me a bag of dried duck necks.

To be honest, he sucked all the bones clean and felt that there was nothing more delicious in the world than duck neck.

But now, after waiting for so long, with my pillow wet with saliva at night, what was given to me was two bags of tea.

It’s not real tea!

  This fish mint tea and mugwort tea sound weird! Who would drink it?

Everyone sat in the dormitory holding two bags of tea, all dumbfounded. But, no matter what, since Houqin said it was good, let's drink it.

Everyone was boiling water and making tea.

Only Zhan Ming stared at the mugwort tea in his hand. He grabbed a handful and looked left and right: "This is used for foot bathing in our hometown..."

He threw a handful of mosquitoes into the basin and said, "The water just boiled, so I used it to soak my feet. I have to stand guard again tonight." My roommate reminded him, "Put on the isolation net. The weather is getting more and more treacherous. Why are there so many mosquitoes in April?"

"Wasn't it warm a while ago? And there was another rain, and the surrounding swamps are full of mosquitoes... It won't be bad until June!"

Everyone was complaining, watching Zhan Ming pour boiling hot water into the bucket, when suddenly someone reminded them, "The squad leader is here!"

"Fuck!"

  Everyone was quickly moving their stools and packing up their things. Only Zhan Ming was dumbfounded. This was the tea that the logistics staff had repeatedly told us to drink!

He looked at it for a long time, then went straight into the bathroom carrying the basin.

As soon as the bathroom door was closed, the overbearing smell of mugwort instantly wafted out along with the hot water. He quickly added cold water into it, and the basin of thick yellow and brown mugwort juice instantly turned yellow.

When the squad leader came in and asked, he had already taken off his clothes quickly and was using a towel to wipe the hot water in the basin onto his body, with water splashing all over the bathroom.

The squad leader didn't notice anything unusual, he just took a casual look and said, "What the logistics guys said is right, this tea is really good, it took a lot of effort to get them to sell it to us, don't waste it when you drink it."

"Okay, I will not waste it."

Everyone listened to the sound of water in the bathroom and couldn't help but worry about Zhan Ming.

After everyone left, Zhan Ming wiped the water in the basin with a towel several times. He came out smelling of mugwort, wanting to cry but unable to:

"I'm soaked all over."

"Don't go out, don't go out." Everyone hurriedly shoved him into the quilt: "Just lie down, no one will care if you come out during the night shift."

  When the night wind blows and you sweat a bit, come back and take a shower, isn't that safe?

But let's be honest: "Don't waste the rest like this. Put less than us when you drink. Otherwise, when everyone else is drinking, you'll be the fastest. Our squad leader is so smart, he'll definitely know what you did."

Zhan Ming wanted to cry but had no tears.

  But no matter how reckless he was, when it was time to take his turn, he would still put on all the necessary clothes. Especially since the guard post had a light, there were the most mosquitoes and insects at night, so he had to put on his mask!

Two hours passed quickly, and when the replacement came over, Zhan Ming saw that the other party was also fully equipped, and couldn't help but smile: "No need to wear a mask, I stood here for two hours, and there was not a single mosquito or flying insect in the entire booth."

What's going on? Mosquitoes have sensed the temperature has dropped recently and are not coming around anymore?

The other party was skeptical: "Is it true?"

He sniffed again: "You must have drunk a lot of that mugwort tea. You smell like me. It feels like I'm spending the Dragon Boat Festival at home."

Good guy, the mention of Dragon Boat Festival made him think of zongzi again, and then he couldn't help shrugged and tilted his head to smell it: "Can you smell the smell of mugwort?"

Wow, it’s really soaked!

Zhan Ming went back to wash and change clothes guiltily, and only got back into bed when the smell was no longer obvious.

However, I had just taken a shower and came in, and now there is a faint scent of mugwort in the quilt. But it doesn't matter, the whole dormitory has made this tea today, it is normal to have a smell.

His shift tonight was relaxed and comfortable as there were no mosquitoes to disturb him, and he fell into a sound sleep.

Update 2, good night hahaha!!! I wanted to write this plot when I wrote Artemisia last year, but because the story follows the timeline, it didn’t happen.

Hey hey hey, here it comes!
