Chapter 114: Family Business

Because of Qi Zhao's token, Xi Yunzhi and their customs exit was very smooth, from Yongzhou to Yanzhou, and then to the customs, but it took only two days.

After leaving Yanzhou, he directly crossed the Evenki Snow Field, stayed overnight in the Evenki Snow Field, and went directly to Liaoyang the next day.

I originally wanted to rest in Liaoyang for two days, waiting for Lu Ping and them to come over to meet, but I didn't expect Lu Ping and them to prepare everything in Liaoyang, just waiting for their arrival.

After entering the city, a special person came to meet them and took them to a private house in the east city of Liaoyang.

As soon as Bu Qin entered the courtyard, he invited a few men who were driven out of the interior to the study to discuss things, and Xi Yunzhi jumped out of the car with Xiao An.

Because of the cold weather, Xiao An was dressed like a cannon barrel, his little face was red, and he was wearing a brand-new melon skin hat on his head, but after a few months of hard work, the little guy was a little taller, and he had reached Xi Yunzhi's thighs, running around all day long, without a certain character.

Xi Yunzhi asked Han Feng and Zhao Yi to move all the useful things out of the carriage, asked the housekeeper of the house where they wanted to live, and then carried Xiao An, who was coquettish with her, to the courtyard.

Because it is prepared for their arrival these days, the yard is very clean, simple and small, and it looks very comfortable.

Xi Yunzhi didn't pay much attention to these things, so he stayed.

Before Bu Qin came back, she boiled some hot water in the small kitchen in the courtyard in advance, called Xiao An into the room, washed his head, Xiao An sat obediently on the small chair, and held a small wooden sword that Zhao Yi sharpened for him.

After washing Xiao An's hair, he let him play in the yard, Xi Yunzhi also took a hot bath himself, and then poured the remaining hot water into Nuan Wuzi, thinking that when Bu Qin came back, he would also give him a head and take a bath.

Who knows, Bu Qin didn't come back overnight.

Xi Yunzhi slept on the table in a daze, and when Bu Qin came back the next morning, he saw her sleeping a little tangled, gently woke her up, pointed to the bed, and said:

"Go to bed, you'll catch a cold."

Xi Yunzhi opened her sleepy eyes, stood up and was about to go to fetch water for Bu Tan to wash, but she was pulled by Bu Tan and circled in her arms.

"You don't care about me, don't wait for me in the future, I'll try to come back as soon as possible, if you can't come back, you can sleep by yourself, you know?"

Xi Yunzhi nodded casually, his promise was not sincere enough, and he was helplessly bitten on the shoulder by Bu Tan, only to hear Bu Tan say again:

"It is estimated that I will spend this period of time in the conference hall, and we have too many things to plan and decide, which cannot be completed in three or two days."

Xi Yunzhi nodded politely after hearing this: "I know, you are discussing big things, and I won't bother, but you have to take care of yourself, eat when you should eat, sleep when you should, and always raise your body to do great things, isn't it?" ”

Bu Qin kissed her on the light lips, and then nodded to her and said, "Yes, yes, Madame's words, remember for my husband." Now, let the lady go to bed with her husband and sleep a little longer. ”

“……”

Xi Yunzhi was dragged to the bed by him, and squeezed Xiao An, who was sleeping on his back, into the bed, and the two of them lay down.

Bu Qin hadn't rested well for several days, and he didn't sleep all night last night, so he almost fell asleep on the pillow.

Xi Yunzhi only squinted for a while, and then got up.

Because the small kitchens in each small courtyard are just convenient for the people in each courtyard to boil hot water, but there are no ingredients, Xi Yunzhi went to the big kitchen alone, took some rice noodles and vegetables back, cooked some porridge in a hot pot, and then steamed a basket of fresh meat buns, and pickled two small plates of cold vegetables with radishes that had just been pulled out of the ground.

When she was almost busy, Bu Qin, who had only slept for more than an hour, hurried out of the room, said hello to Xi Yunzhi, and rushed out directly with her head down, but was stopped by Xi Yunzhi:

"Hey, let's eat some and then go."

Bu Qin looked back at her and said, "It's too late, I'll come back in the evening to eat." ”

Xi Yunzhi didn't follow him, so he used a small crockpot to fill some porridge, then filled a plate of meat buns, and Ling allocated some pickles for him to put in a tray and let him take them to the council hall to eat.

Bu Qin looked at the crystal clear porridge and steaming buns in the clay pot, thinking that he hadn't eaten for a long time, so he took the plate and walked towards the conference hall.

Xi Yunzhi returned to the room with confidence and called Xiao An, who was still sleeping.

The mother and son sat in the courtyard and had breakfast, Xi Yunzhi took Xiao An to go out for a walk and bought him some candy and small toys, and the kid came back with her satisfied.

After coming back, I saw Zhao Yi waiting for them at the gate of the courtyard, and when he saw her coming, he greeted her and said to her:

"Madam, the white porridge and meat buns you made in the morning have received rave reviews, including Vice Marshal Lu, everyone unanimously asked you to make some more."

Xi Yunzhi was a little surprised: "Make some more white porridge and meat buns?" ”

Zhao Yi nodded: "Yes." I ate half a meat bun in the morning, and it tasted like a chef's skill, and I was almost chewing my tongue off the deliciousness. ”

"......" Regarding Zhao Yi's exaggeration, Xi Yunzhi said that he was a little flattered, and was invited by Zhao Yi to send him into the kitchen, and he volunteered to go to the big kitchen to ask for rice noodles.

After Xi Yunzhi asked him, she knew that there were about 20 people in the conference hall, and she estimated that if she made all meat buns, it was estimated that these meats would definitely not be enough, so she made 30 full and fragrant meat buns, and then made some sweet but not greasy white sugar cakes, and the porridge was boiled in a pot, not thin or thick, just drunk with the buns, to relieve the tenderness, and made a sweet and sour radish and sesame oil artichoke for them to eat with porridge.

After everything was done, Zhao Yi beckoned two more people to come over and move, and Xi Yunzhi also followed them to the conference hall with two plates of pickles.

The miasma of smoke in the conference hall, as if the stale smell of the window that had not been opened for several years made Xi Yunzhi's eyebrows frown, Bu Tan and Deputy Marshal Lu sat side by side on the main seat, and saw Xi Yunzhi coming with the plate in person, Bu Qin stood up from the chair, greeted her, took the plate in her hand, and smiled apologetically at her: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Xi Yunzhi shook his head: "What's so hard about this." Even if Zhao Yi doesn't come to tell me, I want to make some lunch for you. ”

Deputy Marshal Lu was upright, and after listening to Xi Yunzhi's words, he immediately praised him: "Oh, the virtuous brother and sister are really virtuous and virtuous, not to mention the craftsmanship, and the character is also top-notch." ”

Xi Yunzhi blessed Vice Marshal Lu and smiled at him: "Brother Lu has won the award, if there is anything you want to eat next time, I told Yunzhi that is, and everyone is also brothers, you are all doing big things, I am a woman, I can't help you, but it's okay to cook rice and do logistics." ”

After saying these words, Bu Qin's face changed a little, and he glared at a few people who took the opportunity to make a request to Xi Yunzhi, and those people touched their noses and retracted the request, and after Xi Yunzhi greeted everyone, he walked out of the meeting hall.

Bu Qin returned to the room in the evening, Xi Yunzhi was keeping accounts, and after Bu Qin finished washing, he pulled Xi Yunzhi, who was still working in the candlelight, back to the bunk, and said to her:

"Don't forget your current physical condition, you're too tired, our second child should have an opinion."

Xi Yunzhi knew that he was blaming her for promising those people to cook and do logistics in the council hall today, and couldn't help laughing:

"You know that I can't be idle, you are doing things on the front line, I can't help, but I still arranged for cooking and logistics, and you can see it, I just made some white porridge and meat buns today, and I ate them so happily, that doesn't mean that my skills are good, but that it shows that these big brothers and brothers haven't eaten a decent meal for a long time, so they will praise such ordinary things."

"......" Bu Qin did not deny Xi Yunzhi's truth, and after taking a deep breath, he said again: "Having said that, you can also arrange a special person to take care of this matter, and you don't have to do it yourself." ”

Xi Yunzhi smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, although I can't be idle, I am also a person who is used to being a shopkeeper, of course I am more willing to arrange everything, I will not do everything myself, and do everything alone." ”

Bu Qin was still a little uneasy, Xi Yunzhi smiled and assured him again and again, before suppressing his refusal.

***

Since the third day, Xi Yunzhi has taken over the problem of everyone's meal arrangement little by little.

Every day she worked out the recipe, asked the kitchen to go out to buy, and then arranged for the two cooks to make it in order, sent it to the council room, and then about half an hour later, sent someone to take back all the dishes and plates to be cleaned.

Because of her cooperation, it was originally necessary to discuss things for a day and a night, but now it can be done in one day, and with the extra time, everyone can have a full rest, seeing that the atmosphere in the conference hall is getting better and better, and the mental outlook of the people who participate in the discussion and formulation of the plan is also getting better and better, which has invisibly added a lot of morale to everyone.

Everyone praised Xi Yunzhi as a virtuous helper and a good helper, Bu Qin saw that she arranged everything in an orderly manner, and she didn't tire herself too much, so she was not so worried, and let her do it.

In this way, a group of people discussed for more than half a month, and finally came up with a complete plan.

Because of the unprovoked tragic death of Bu Shuai, the 200,000 Bu soldiers in Nanning felt disheartened, and felt the threat of death and coldness, so they decided to turn the emperor back before they stepped into the footsteps of Bu Shuai, and the reason why they wanted Bu Qin to rush back quickly to meet them was to let him come back to take over Shuai Yin and preside over the overall situation.

This matter was discussed with the generals before Bu Shuai's assassination, so Bu Tan had no suspense, and with the support of more than 20 generals of the Bu Family Army, he sat in the position of the new commander, and drew another banner to officially split the forces with the imperial court.

Nanning's 200,000 troops are all ready to go, waiting for the return of the commander-in-chief and generals.

After staying in Liaoyang for a month, everyone packed lightly and set off for Nanning.

Xi Yunzhi followed the rear of the army, and before leaving, he specially asked Zhao Yi to pick up Liu Ma and Ruyi Ruyue from Li Yi's mansion.

The moment Liu Ma and Ruyi Ruyue saw Xi Yunzhi, they all hugged and cried, complaining that it was their own bad that made Xi Yunzhi suffer so much.

Xi Yunzhi comforted them with a smile, saying that she had not suffered any crime, and after repeated reassurances, Mother Liu and the others put away some self-blame a little.

Probably because the news of Bu Qin's return spread out, they encountered two or three more attacks on the way back to Nanning, but the number of people who attacked each time was not too large, and it could be seen that they were some pioneers who came out to inquire about the news and were ordered to be in danger.

Every time after killing someone, they dug a pit and buried it, so that the people behind could not find any clues, so that everyone could be relatively safer, and the generals were also fully cooperative and convinced of Bu Tan's orders.

After half a month of driving, everyone finally overcame obstacles and came to the Iron Blood City, the general camp of the Bujia Army in Nanning.

Iron Blood City is the camp operated by the Bu family for many years, because of the brave and good fighting, a hundred battles and victories, after the city gate is opened, it is a vacant land that cannot see the end, the camp tent on the open space stretches for hundreds of miles like a star and is located on this land, from the city gate to the main building, even if you ride a horse, you have to ride for more than half an hour to arrive, after the city tower, it is the residence of the generals, and the commander's mansion is in the innermost, living by the mountain, the safest.

Xi Yunzhi is the marshal's wife, and she was naturally arranged in the marshal's mansion, although this mansion is not as good as the carved beams and paintings of the general's mansion, but it has its own quaint atmosphere in it, when she was still cleaning up the yard, Xiao An had already gone out for a big turn, and after coming back, she couldn't stop nagging her:

"Mother, this place is simply amazing, there are so many people, I am dazzled."

Xi Yunzhi looked at his uninformed appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "Yes, I heard that there are 200,000 people here, and the tents outside are all full of people." ”

Xiao An stretched out his finger exaggeratedly: "Two hundred thousand? How much food do you have to eat that day? ”

“……”

Xi Yunzhi smiled helplessly at Xiao An, and couldn't help but say hello in his heart, yes, there are 200,000 soldiers in Iron Blood City, what do they eat every day, just like Xiao An asked, how much do they have to eat a day.

Not to mention that in addition to the problem of eating, there is also the problem of clothing, the problem of weaponry, these things can not be ignored, when the two armies are fighting, a team with a full meal and a team with a team without a full meal, that is naturally the team with a full meal occupies the peak.

I don't know who is arranging everything here, and it is not easy to manage such a large family business.
