Chapter 692: Uncle Meow goes to the front
On the way back, Ying Fang pondered for a while, and there were a lot of walnuts, chestnuts, and dates at home.
The chestnut cake made a few years ago is very popular with the elderly and children, and after tasting it, Xiao Erbo's family repeatedly boasted that it was better than any dim sum bought by the supply and marketing cooperative.
Of course, Yingfang didn't take this seriously. Her craftsmanship is good, but not good enough to compete in the dim sum that comes out of the pastry factory, but it's true that she is popular.
Then make the chestnut cake again.
"Mom, you said last time you were going to make amber walnuts for us to eat. "Yangyang remembers eating very well.
It was after the autumn harvest to go up the mountain to hunt walnuts, and Ying Fang mentioned it casually. Unfortunately, there was no honey at home at that time, so he said that he would have honey for them to eat in the future. Yang Yang has been thinking about it.
Ying Fang couldn't help laughing: "Okay, do it." ”
With honey, a lot of snacks can be made.
"Thank you for helping the family do a lot of work today, and Mom will steam a red date cake for you to taste. ”
There are a lot of jujubes at home, and there is no shortage of other materials, but there is no water chestnut powder at home, but there should be a sales point.
So after going down the mountain, Yingfang handed over the back basket to her father, went to the sales point first, and weighed half a catty of horseshoe flour and two catties of white frosting.
"What are you doing buying candy at this time?" Feng Meiqin sat at the counter playing a sweater, and when she saw Yingfang coming in, she put down her sweater and stood up to say hello.
Ying Fang smiled and shook her head: "It's just missing, come and buy some." ”
Feng Meiqin said while weighing the sugar: "I heard that Dazhu's daughter-in-law didn't say hello, so she went to Haicheng to report and took all the money and tickets from the family. Her mother-in-law crossed her waist and scolded Dajiang for a long time, regretting letting her go to college. According to me, this is Jiang Meihua's style, and the low-brow and pleasing appearance before the exam must be pretended. ”
Ying Fang raised her eyebrows. She really didn't know, after all, she wasn't at home all day today, and she came to the consignment point again after going down the mountain.
"It's okay if you don't know, it's just annoying to hear about this kind of thing too much. ”
Feng Meiqin called white sugar, also known as horseshoe powder. When he finished, he took out two pieces of food paper, took two more rattan grasses, and wrapped them into paper packets.
Yingfang paid the money and went home with her things.
When I got home, I heard her mother and sister-in-law Fu also talking about Jiang Meihua.
"Whoever marries such a daughter-in-law will simply pour blood mold for eight lifetimes!"
"No! It's clear that I don't want to come back. Poor Dazhu son, so young and going to have no mother......"
"Mom, have you heard about it too?" Yingfang carried her things in and started to make snacks.
I didn't see the triplets, kumquats, and golden tigers, and when they saw her coming back, they all came around. The triplets are vying for help, and the two pets are drooling and looking forward to eating.
Uncle Meow sucked his mouth, then glared at Jin Hu with disgust, and said in his heart Stupid dog! Stay away from Uncle! Don't let people think that Uncle Ben has a share in this pool of saliva on the ground!
Jin Hu shrank his head, lowered his head silently, and licked the oily water stains on the ground.
Ying Fang's three adults took into account the presence of the child, and did not continue to talk about the Lin family's mess. Seeing Yingfang making dim sum, she smiled and said that she was blessed again.
Yingfang's family now has two big stoves, one is next door, and it uses biogas, which does not cost firewood.
Therefore, there is no conflict between cooking and making snacks.
Old Man Xiao came in with his hands behind his back, and his face was not very good.
Nuan Nuan intimately held the hot tea: "Grandpa, you drink tea." Today we picked tea leaves, and my mother said that we would fry them after dinner. After a while, Grandpa Tai will be able to drink this year's new tea. ”
The old man's heart warmed, and his complexion was much better than before.
Xiao Sanye came back from cleaning the cowshed, saw that the old man seemed to have something on his mind, his brows were locked, and he wanted to drink tea under the pretext that he also wanted to drink tea, so he opened up his caring granddaughter and asked, "Is the situation on the front line not good?"
"Alas. The old man sighed, "Isn't it good! I heard Lao Xia say that five important border towns have been occupied by the enemy in succession, and they are still encroaching on the southern border...... This little turtle grandson, relying on the support of a big country behind him, the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, and sooner or later he will be defeated. It's just that in this way, it is not only the border guards who suffer, but also the border people......"
The two were silent for a while.
Until Nuan Nuan came out with hot tea and a plate of freshly made honey chestnut cake: "Grandpa, grandpa, you eat." ”
Only then did the two come back to their senses.
turned to talk about his son-in-law who had not heard from him for two months.
"Gangzi doesn't know when he will come back. ”
"It depends on when the battle ends. After a pause, the old man admonished, "Don't tell your daughter-in-law or daughter-in-law about this." Wait until Lao Xia sends someone to the front line to find out. ”
"When will Xia Lao send people to the front line?"
"Just this month. ”
"Then bring something to Gangzi. This is always okay, right?" Xiao Sanye knew that his daughter was thinking about her son-in-law, "It's getting hotter and hotter this day, and there are still snowflakes when I just go, and I can't wear the smock in a blink of an eye, so I'll bring him some summer clothes and daily necessities." ”
"That's okay, Heng Xia Lao's own people, by the way, let Gangzi come back with a peace letter. ”
When Xiao Sanye heard this, he patted his thigh, got up and discussed with his daughter.
When Yingfang heard that she could bring things to her husband on the front line, how could she not be willing. That night, a pot of Ming Qian tea was fried, and it was picked up for the man.
When Xiang first left, he brought a set of summer clothes, so this time he brought a set of clothes, and he brought two more undershirts. Sweat a lot and the vest wears out quickly. I don't know how long I'm going to be outside. You must bring a few pairs of shoes, the south is so hot, how can you wear breathable liberation shoes. So I brought three pairs of old cloth shoes with mille-feuille soles, which are not only breathable, but also the key is not to get tired of walking long distances.
In addition, some health centers have prepared anti-inflammatory and anti-diarrheal medicines, homemade wound medicines, anti-heat medicines, heat-clearing and detoxification and mosquito repellents, and a concocted wild ginseng and a few taels of cordyceps wrapped in red silk cloth. In short, Chinese and Western medicinal materials alone have a burden.
And then there's the food.
The temperature on the front line was high, and it was not easy to bring ordinary food, so Yingfang wrapped some freshly dried mushrooms and dried vegetables, and fried a few catties of peanuts and walnuts.
In addition, a three-pound piece of ham meat was cut. This salty, and the moisture is controlled, and no matter how hot it is in the south, it is no problem to put it for a month.
Originally, I wanted to bring another jar of newly pickled salted duck eggs, but the jar was taken out, but the old man said that this is okay, one is sinking, and the other is not troublesome if you bump it along the way?
Yingfang had no choice but to change to a jar of pickled radish and mushroom meat sauce.
The new tea was also wrapped in half a catty. The old man drank it, and he could pick it again the day after tomorrow, and most of the fried ones this time were brought to men to try.
Packed up a big burden, Yingfang was still circling around the house, Xiao Sanye snorted and said, "Let's do this first, after all, I am asking others to help, and it is inconvenient for more people." ”
Ying Fang thought about it, tied the burden firmly, and handed it to Xiao Li.
Xiao Li Ming'er was sent to the train station early in the morning.
It was night, and Yingfang's family rested after a tired day.
A black shadow flashed in the stove room, and he found the salted duck egg bowl with a sigh, and then stuffed an oiled paper bag in his mouth at the mouth of the altar, picked up the jar and jumped out of the courtyard wall, and disappeared into the vast night.
Early the next morning, Xiao Li pedaled his bicycle and sent the burden to the train station and handed it to Xiao Qin, a young officer sent by Xia Lao to the front line to condole.
Xiao Qin took the things and jumped on a special train that went south to deliver military supplies.
No one noticed that a fat orange cat, with a fat belly and a narrow clay jar bigger than its face, jumped lightly onto the roof of the train shortly after the train slowly left the platform.
I found a blind spot in the car that no one could find anyway, and I couldn't wait to open the oiled paper bag, grabbed a piece of chestnut cake and licked it happily, and ate three pieces in a row before turning to the other two pastries. We didn't stop until there was only one piece of each pastry left. Lick your paws and fur clean, and take a nap.
Jade crown Jin Jiao, Lao Tzu is here!
Look how good Lao Tzu is to you, and he will bring you food all the way back. It's like you're a little conscienceless, you don't say hello when you go out, you hate it to death......
Call...... Call...... Call......
The clanging sound of the train moving forward drowned out the snoring of Uncle Meow one after another.
In order not to miss the handover between Xiao Li and others, Uncle Meow didn't close his eyes last night, and he was trapped to death!
What? You say it's a cat, it's supposed to be at night and sleep during the day?
It is the famous jade-patterned ink-clawed tiger, not a weak mortal cat.
Trains loaded with military supplies clanged south all the way, passing through cities and stopping at every station. Therefore, the speed is much faster than that of ordinary trains.
Rao is like this, Uncle Meow is still squatting on the top of the train and is bored.
And whenever you stop by the station, you have to poke your head out to see if the person who is carrying the package that his hostess carries to the man has gotten out of the car.
Tired meow!
Just when Uncle Meow was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, not to mention that the pastries in the oiled paper bag were licked to the dregs, and even the salted duck eggs (raw) soaked in salt soup were broken by it. Just after tasting it, it spit out.
The meow is going to salty its uncle!
At this time, the train played the flute and finally stopped at the military railway station in the southern city.
Uncle Meow saw Xiao Qin getting off the car with his baggage and luggage.
It rolled its eyes around the mosquito coils, got up and shook its fur, put on the salted duck egg tray, and jumped off the roof of the carriage with three shakes (motion sickness).
The salted duck egg bowl is inconvenient to take, so it is hidden in the green belt near the railroad tracks. Anyway, in its opinion, this salted duck egg is really worse than chicken ribs, and it is not distressing to be picked up.
Uncle Meow, who was no longer burdened, ran around, and quickly caught up with Xiao Qin's pace. Young people, you need to exercise! You can't even get rid of a cat. Whisper.
Xiao Qin came on this trip, mainly to escort a batch of military supplies.
After the smooth handover of the materials, he had time to inquire about the people Xia Laotuo was looking for.
"Xiang Gang from the X Provincial Military Region? Isn't that Xiang Gang, who has a lot of strength, accurate marksmanship, and is now the commander of the Dragon and Tiger Division's demolition team? Haha! He's in our camp, I'll take you there!"
The warm-hearted garrison fighters took the lead in moving forward.
"Xiang team! Xiang team is looking for someone!"
Xiang Gangzheng called a meeting of his subordinates.
This time he came to the front, and he was supposed to take over as the commander of the demolition squad with the qualifications of the most outstanding cadre of the military district of Province X. As a result, Huang Jin was parachuted in at the same time, relying on his father to be one of the founding fathers, who had saved the life of the previous head of state, and took away the command of the demolition team with great power.
If Huang Jin himself is talented and courageous, and can lead the Dragon and Tiger Division Demolition Team to victory, Xiang Gang doesn't care who is in command.
However, the fact is that Huang Jin didn't understand anything, so he knew that he ordered his subordinates to rush forward without fear of death.
He also repeatedly emphasized: "To regain the 211 heights at all costs, the three vice premiers are waiting for the news of our victory in Zhongnanhai!"
Who won't shout the slogan? The key is the winning countermeasure!
It's not that you are not afraid of death and can seize the high ground by rushing forward, but this is just to let your subordinates die and be cannon fodder!
Sure enough, three consecutive blitzkrieg battles ended in failure.
In the first two games, there were still a few wounded people back, and the last one was completely wiped out.
Now, the leaders of the division headquarters can't stand it anymore, isn't this nonsense! Are you sure that Huang Jin's father is not the leader of the espionage? The General Military Region is not controlled by the spy organization? Why do you feel that the enemy spies are deliberately trying to disrupt the frontline operations?
Under pressure and with a black face, he got rid of Huang Jin, and transferred Xiang Gang, who was sent by Huang Jin to another high ground to perform a mission, and awarded him the position of commander of the demolition team to shoulder the next blasting task.
There was not much time left for them, and the general command ordered that by tomorrow night at the latest, the army would launch a full-scale attack, and whether the 211 heights could be conquered depended on the demolition vanguard that had just been led.
It's still a little time before dinner, so hurry up and have a meeting.
Hearing the shouts outside, Xiang Gang made a slightly calmer gesture to his subordinates, opened the curtain and walked out.
Xiao Qin had seen Xiang Gang beside Xia Lao, confirmed that he had not found the wrong person, and stepped forward to give a military salute: "Chief, my name is Qin Yeming, and I am Commander Xia's subordinate. This is the letter that Commander Xia asked me to bring, and this is the package that your family asked me to bring. ”
Xiang Gang understood as soon as he heard it, and shook hands with the other party: "Hard work!"
"No hard work, no hard work. Qin Ye scratched his head shyly, handed over the things to Xiang Gang, and went back to the place arranged for him by the above.
Xiang Gang carried the burden into the camp tent.
The team members hula and gathered around.
"Boss, what did my sister-in-law bring you?"
"It's a big bag, it won't be all eaten, right?"
"What can you eat for such a long journey? It's so hot here, what can you eat?"
"That's better than not having to eat at all. I heard that the logistics are tight, no wonder I have been eating brown rice buns recently, and I can't even eat pickles, and my mouth has faded out of the bird. ”
"Boss, sister-in-law is so good to you!"
The corners of Xiang Gang's mouth twitched when he heard this: "Nonsense! That's my daughter-in-law, who is good for me and good for me?"
"Hey, hey, hey......"
A bunch of rough men laughed flatteringly.
Xiang Gang unwrapped the package, and the first thing that caught his eye was the change of summer shirt and four pairs of cloth shoes for him.
The cloth shoes look like Xinna, especially the two pairs of mille-feuille soles, Xiang just went out with only one pair of shoes, and eighty percent didn't listen to him and stayed up late.
Next to the clothes is a large bag of medicinal herbs, including ginseng and cordyceps wrapped in red silk cloth, Western medicine encapsulated in kraft letters, herbal tea tied with cotton threads, and balm-like balm and anti-heat medicines, etc., which are classified and marked with specific uses.
