Li Qingyu said excitedly, “I understand.”

In the central room, a few soldiers were eating pear juice ice cream bars as if they were eating delicacies.

A soldier said, “Boss, this ice cream bar is too delicious.”

The young general ate in a more refined manner. He could not bring himself to look at his subordinates who were like hungry wolves. “Eat slowly. No one is snatching it from you.”

The soldier said, “I can’t control myself. I wish I could put it all in my mouth and chew it now.”

Another soldier chimed in, “I’ve lived for almost twenty years, but I’ve never eaten anything so delicious in the summer.”

The soldiers looked at each other and smiled. Clearly, they were on the same page.

The young general was speechless.

The soldier quickly finished the ice cream bar and licked his lips. He seemed to be addicted. “Boss, I still want to eat.”

The young general glared at the soldier. “Did you bring money?”

The soldier stammered, “I left in a hurry and didn’t bring it!”

The young general said, “Bring the money tomorrow and eat to your heart’s content.”

Hence, the group of soldiers had already started looking forward to tomorrow.

The goods were quickly moved to the car and secured with a rope. Chu Qingzhi did not need to go to the central room to call for soldiers. The young general was already waiting beside the convoy with his subordinates.

The young general asked politely, “Miss Chu, how much is it?”

Chu Qingzhi raised a finger. “Two copper coins a piece. Five thousand pieces will be ten taels of silver.”

The general took out a silver ingot worth ten taels and handed it to Chu Qingzhi. “Miss Chu, thank you.”

“Remember to bring the boxes over when you come to get the ice cream bars tomorrow.” Chu Qingzhi pointed at the small box. “The ice cream bars in that box are for the general. Remember to give it to him.”

The general cupped his hands. “No problem. I will definitely give it to him. Miss Chu, goodbye.”

Chu Qingzhi waved her hand. “Take care.”

The convoy slowly drove towards the village entrance. Under the gazes of the villagers, they gradually disappeared.

At the military camp.

A few soldiers gathered together and chatted.

“General said that he would use ice cream bars to reward those who contributed. Do you know what an ice cream bar is?”

‘Tve never heard of it, but I think it’s delicious.”

“Since it has the word ice, it must be something cool.”

“Don’t be anxious. You’ll know when it’s brought back.”

Speak of the devil. At the same time, the convoy drove into the military camp and stopped at the location that Tang Jinghong had specified… the drill ground.

The young general carried the small box to Tang Jinghong’s tent and said in a clear voice, “General, Miss Chu asked me to give this to you.”

Tang Jinghong looked up at the young general. “Put the box on the table and follow me to the drill ground.”

“Yes, General.” The young general immediately did as he was told.

Tang Jinghong brought a few deputy generals to the drill ground. At this moment, the sun was already setting. It was fine to be exposed to the sun.

He stood on the stage and looked around.

In the Drill Ground, all the soldiers had arrived. There were a total of 50,000 people.

“I discovered a good thing that can cool you down. It’s called ice cream bars. I specially bought it as a reward for those who have contributed. When your name is called later, step forward and take a piece from the box.”

Tang Jinghong gestured to the deputy general. “Read the names.”

All the soldiers looked at the boxes curiously.

The deputy general stood in the middle of the stage and took out a list. “Li Mingyuan, Gao Feiyu, Xiang Lei…”

Li Mingyuan opened the box excitedly. Immediately, a gust of cold air blew past his face. Inside were neatly arranged snow-white ice cubes.

He took a piece from it and asked loudly, “General, how do I eat this?”

The deputy general replied, “Bite and eat!”

Everyone could not help but laugh.

Li Mingyuan took a bite and exclaimed in surprise, “Wow, it’s so cool. It’s sweet and delicious…”

Everyone looked envious.

Gao Feiyu, who was next in line to pick one, couldn’t wait anymore. He picked up an ice cream bar and bit into it. “It’s too cool. Who invented it? It’s too delicious…”

It did not matter if it was sweet or not. The important thing was that it was cool. In this weather, it was so hot that everyone was about to go crazy.

The rest of the soldiers were even more envious. Then, the sound of licking and biting the ice cream bars could be heard on the drill ground.

At the end, the deputy general’s throat was almost sore. “I’m done reading the names. Everyone, disperse.”

Tang Jinghong led the deputy generals to the tent.

The deputy general who read the names coughed twice and asked tentatively, “General, don’t we have any?”

Tang Jinghong placed his hands behind his back and walked straight and steadily. He looked at the deputy general and did not say anything.

The deputy generals looked at each other. What did the general mean?

The deputy generals were older than Tang Jinghong, but no one dared to be arrogant in front of him.

Tang Jinghong was known as the “Divine General” in the military camp. He had offered a strange strategy three times, which allowed General Fan to win a complete victory on the northern border. His achievement and ability were unparalleled.

Even General Fan often discussed military matters with Tang Jinghong and admired Tang Jinghong’s ability.

After entering the tent, Tang Jinghong walked to the table and reached out to touch the small box. His slender fingers were as elegant. Then, he opened the box. “Yours is here.”

A few deputy generals immediately came over with excitement.

There were no soldiers here, so there was no need to put on a front.

There were three colors of ice cream bars in the box. One was red watermelon juice ice cream bar, one was a yellow orange juice ice cream bar, and another one was light yellow pear juice ice cream bar.

Not only was it cool, but it was also filled with the rich fragrance of fruits. They subconsciously swallowed their saliva..
