CHAPTER XXXVI

Everyone snatched up the meat nest that was not enough, and those who didn't grab it wailed.

Xie Chengzu didn't expect it, but there were more than 80 meat nests, and in less than half a day, more than 1,000 soldiers in the North Camp spread it all over the place. With a wave of his hand, the adults immediately asked each camp to prepare good noodles and meat, and on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, let them eat with an open stomach, and eat enough!

So the day's room was busy, the fat on the two pigs that were slaughtered was not wasted, just lifted out of the warehouse, the flour of the white flowers, sifted like snowflakes, one pot after another, a basket followed a basket, at noon that day, the table of the whole room was full of large mouths of baskets, full of light yellow skin nests, all like a small ingot, the fragrance permeated the entire North Street.

This time, you can eat as much as you want, there is no limit, and the tube is enough, although the meat in it is less than that brought by the guard, and there is not such a faint sweet taste, but the noodles just out of the pot are also fragrant, and the meat is also fragrant, so naturally it will not be difficult to eat.

Xie Chengzu did not open a small stove in the gang hall at noon, and a few of his subordinates always followed a group of soldiers to eat in the canteen, at noon the whole gang room is steaming, the voice is boiling, a few plates of meat on the table, with a large bowl of hot fragrant broth, eat a few total intestines full belly, full of oil, the nest head is really sandwiched with big fat meat, the oil is moist, even the noodles are steamed out of the meat taste, you have to use one word to describe, that is cool!

This meal was eaten by all the soldiers inside and outside Wei'an, and this year was also the most abundant year they had since the army, and it also seemed to indicate that the previous hardships were coming to an end, as long as they followed the adults, the days of eating and drinking spicy food were not far away.

Xie Chengzu also wants to give everyone such a firm belief.

He is a very short person, and his soldiers charge with him into the blood-stained killing field, which is his right-hand man, and the foundation of his security and even his future foothold, not a beggar, not a beggar, not a beggar.

Therefore, even if he falls into the name of "Hades bandit", he must let them eat well, drink well, raise them with full strength, exercise, and practice, and break through the sky with a long roar every day, and become a huge and invincible momentum, which is to make the barbarians tremble when they see it, and they dare not provoke it lightly.

But the soldiers under Xie Chengzu felt in their hearts that they were in dire straits every day, โ–กโ–ก sooner or later, practicing like dogs, and they couldn't hold the gun.

Most of the soldiers have to take back the rice every month to feed the family, so they have to work hard to drill and practice, but in two months, the recruits who used to be thin and crooked and lazy and lazy are now all upright, radiant, and full of momentum, and the former "sick and disabled" soldiers are not the same.

Seeing these boys take out the exercises and eat during the practice, Du He had to sigh and say: "All of them are like calves, how much grain and grass they have to raise, if they eat like this, the city treasury will be emptied by them......"

In previous years, it would be good for the sergeant to get some corn grains, or black flour mixed with bran.

This year, they were overjoyed, not only paid for a month's military salary in advance, but also gave each person an additional two buckets of grain and rice, a bucket of white flour, and three catties of meat, after more than 3,000 sergeants heard the letter, the camp cheered, and Xie Chengzu's prestige in the eyes of everyone reached its peak.

Although there are not many things, when there are many refugees everywhere and many people are hungry to death, these things are timely rain and are very rich, like a pot of fire in the cold and a piece of ice in the scorching summer, leaving an extremely heavy impression in the hearts of countless new soldiers, so that many years later, they unswervingly followed Xie Chengzu.

That is, follow the adults to have meat to eat!

At that time, people's hearts were complicated and complicated, and they were simple, sometimes just a bag of rice or two pieces of meat in difficult times, and they could be grateful, and they would go to the soup and charge into battle.

The food before the Spring Festival is also a bloody investment.

The big steamed buns with white noodles every day, the white noodles that are not mixed with any miscellaneous grains are really beneficial, not the black and yellow noodles that have been sifted out of four or five processes, the first dish of white noodles that are as clean as snow, the mouth is full of noodles, and the stacks of white flour flatbreads are burned, and even the day before the Spring Festival, each person is really a bowl of pure pork, which is pure meat, plus a large pot of meat soup, which is not a clear soup with a little fishy smell in the past, it is a broth with clearly visible meat pieces, and a layer of fresh green green onions is sprinkled on it, which is too fragrant! Everyone went crazy and gobbled it up to the end, and the soup buckets in the room were all washed clean with water, and there was not even a bit of meat left.

At a time when most people can't eat enough, being able to eat a bowl of real meat is enough to make people crazy.

Thirty afternoon, the first to follow Xie Chengzu a few people, Wang Ji, Du He, Guo Xing, Xiong Tingxian, etc. all gathered in the garrison mansion, Wei'an's garrison mansion was built is good, the previous Xu garrison is quite enjoyable, the pavilions and pavilions are complete, I heard that there will be a troupe to sing opera for the garrison during the New Year's festival in the past, there are really a lot of warblers and Yanyan in the house, and now it falls into the hands of Xie Garrison, stunned to make a lively mansion, make it deserted, the first hall is okay, the backyard ash has to fall a penny, and no one has a lamp at night. Occasionally, it lights up, and those who don't know think it's haunted.

A charcoal fire was set up in the side hall of the house, and it was burning vigorously, and there were a lot of pigs in the house, and the bandits had pulled out a lot of sheep from the bandits' den before, except for the rarest of them, a purple sheep and two of the fattest and most milky white sheep were taken away by adults, and the other heads were raised.

Mutton is less, not as good as pork, and it didn't move, this New Year, Wang Ji is hungry for mutton, stunned from the room to get a head, dozens of catties, enough for a few people to have a good meal, and then with a few dishes in the room, not only a large pot of meat nest, more than a dozen white flour cakes, more than a dozen white flour steamed buns, but also a plate of bacon eggs, a plate of pig's trotters, a plate of spicy fried haggis, the man's own hands, this craft, no wonder ancestral, delicious is not covered.

Guo Xing didn't know where to dig out the ground and save his daughter for more than 20 years, the mud on the skin had not been patted clean, a big sip of wine, and a big mouthful of meat, the wine was a little strong, and after a while, several people's faces were a little drunk, and even Lord Xie, who couldn't drink on his face, looked dark and shiny than usual.

Du He said: "Wang Ji, Guo Xing, and Zhang Xian, there are only three of you left among these people, all of them are in their twenties, it's time to find a mother-in-law to live a good life." Among several people, Du He is the oldest and the earliest to start a family.

"What's the hurry? Adults haven't started a family yet, why am I in a hurry? After eating a piece of meat, he shook his head, looked at Xie Chengzu who was drinking, and said, "Is it an adult?" โ€

"You can't compare this with me." Lord Xie said seriously, his expression was a little strict as usual, but anyone could see that the adult's eyebrows and eyes were very soft, and when he thought of something, his eyes were even a little gentle.

"That's it, adults want to start a family, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, which day won't work, the person is there, just send the lead to the door, can you do the same, where is your daughter-in-law? Not even a shadow. Du He said.

Wang Ji obviously didn't believe it: "Tomorrow? The day after tomorrow? The day after tomorrow? Hmph, wait until the New Year's Day, he hasn't finished yet, he's not in a hurry, why am I ......in a hurry?"

When Xie Chengzu heard this, the corners of his lips condensed slightly, and he lowered his head and took a sip of wine.

"My lord was busy a year ago, how can I have time, don't talk about you, Guo Xing, your sister-in-law can tell me, there are many good girls in the outer city, and they are diligent and capable, if you show me, I will let your sister-in-law show you a look......"

When Guo Xing heard this, his originally happy face suddenly said bitterly: "Brother Du, ouch, it's really my eldest brother, I thank my sister-in-law for her kindness, forget it." "Those little girls in the refugee pile outside the city, all of them are as thin as a bamboo pole, he hasn't looked at them, how can they be like people, they are not ugly, they are small and dry, they are diligent, but I am marrying a daughter-in-law, not looking for a subordinate, capable of having a fart.

Guo Xing is a high-spirited person, if he doesn't have the one in his family's family, you said that looking at such a beauty, how can you look at those crooked melons and cracked dates, what he thought in his heart was that even if he couldn't find something like that in the adult's house, then at least find a similar one.

But he can't look down on the bad ones, and if they're good, they can't look down on them.

Du He knew that he was so thoughtful, and it was not easy to say that the adults were here, so he turned his head to look at the most honest Zhang Xian, "Zhang Xian, there is one in the twentieth this year, if you don't dislike it, I will let your sister-in-law give you a shuttle?" โ€

Zhang Xian's face immediately turned red, he was already eating and drinking, and at this time it was even more red like a big apple, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I have, I have." โ€

"Got it?" Wang Ji looked at him, "Good boy, are you looking for a daughter-in-law behind our back?" โ€

Guo Xing also wondered: "You come with us every day, when did you find it?" How did we not know? โ€

"It's my mother's ......" Zhang Xian poured a mouthful of hot mutton soup, sobered up and said: "My mother set it at home." โ€

"How's the girl? When to get married? โ€

"I don't know, I haven't seen it yet, but the letter said that she looks pretty good-looking, and she will have to wait until next year to get married, she was engaged to a baby when she was a child, and the man who was engaged the year before was sick and died, and the standard distance of our family is to keep the man for three years of filial piety, and the day will be next year......" Zhang Xian said innocently.

The wine glass in Xie Chengzu's hand shook over there, and the wine inside spilled out.
