Jiang Dali came, and Du Juan had another helper.

The next day, she took Jiang Dali and Zhao Jinlong to the selected courtyard.

The yard is very close to the Lin family's compound, and Du Juan thinks that when the big guy wants to improve the food, he can go to a private restaurant to eat.

Several people first looked at it roughly, and then Jiang Dali and Zhao Jinlong chose a place to live.

Both of them chose the place near the back door, saying that they didn't necessarily have to go through the front door to enter and exit in the future.

Du Juan has no opinion, and the two of them decide.

The yard has always been under repair, but Du Juan's requirements are relatively high, so the repair time is relatively long.

"The master said that it will be completed in another month, and then the interior will be decorated, and you can open your business."

"Also, I don't refuse the shares I give you, otherwise I'd rather not open this old Shizi restaurant!" When she said this, Du Juan's tone was more serious.

Du Juan is not short of money, except for the flower shop, which she really likes, whether it is a mountain or a restaurant, it is for relatives and friends.

Therefore, although Du Juan uses the yard as an investment, she only accounts for half of it, and half of it is shared between Jiang Dali and Zhao Jinlong, and she is not involved in the operation, she just provides recipes, purely to help the two of them.

Zhao Jinlong and Jiang Dali also knew in their hearts, and both of them secretly swore that they must run the restaurant well and not let down the opportunity given to them by Du Juan.

In the blink of an eye, it was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and this year's Chinese New Year's Eve Lin family compound was a little deserted.

It's not that there is no one, but Lin Aijun hasn't come back from the war, and everyone has been worried in their hearts, and they don't have any thoughts about celebrating the New Year.

"Mom, Xiao Xu, won't he come back this year?" Du Juan fished out the croquettes, put them aside, and threw the fish pieces into it, ready to make smoked fish.

"His school doesn't have a holiday, saying that it is a delay in going back and forth, and he plans to come back after he finishes his studies." Lu Xiaolin smiled and shook her head, "We don't have anything to worry about when he's a boy, besides, I've taken care of people at school, so nothing will happen." ”

"But I love the army, we haven't heard from him for more than a year. The phone call was not not said, and not even a letter was written. Lu Xiaolin complained, "If it weren't for your father's assurance, Aijun would still be alive, I would have thought he was ......."

Du Juan put down the work in her hand, walked over and hugged Lu Xiaolin, "Mom, he should be inconvenient, we have to believe in Dad, believe in Aijun." ”

Lu Xiaolin quickly wiped the corners of her eyes and pulled the corners of her mouth, "It's Chinese New Year's Eve today, I just miss him a little, and I don't know if he can eat a bowl of dumplings." ”

Lin Aijun doesn't have to think about eating dumplings, but they have a good meal tonight.

After all, it was the Chinese New Year's Eve, the day of the family reunion, and Lin Aijun thought that he had to find some delicious meaning for his comrades.

These days, Lin Aijun has been wandering around the forest with a small team of about 20 people behind him to find a suitable place to celebrate the festival.

Fortunately, the forest where they stayed was mostly large and small caves, but most of the caves were at the bottom of the mountain, and nine times out of ten they already had owners.

The Lord is not afraid, and it can be used as dinner when hunted, but the smell in the cave is not something you can get rid of after a few cleanings.

What's more, if you have a dinner at the foot of the mountain, a little open fire, if you attract the enemy, won't it be worth the loss?

So with Lin Aijun's efforts, he found a cave that could accommodate dozens of people halfway up the mountain.

The cave is dry, not stuffy, and the most satisfying thing is that there is a pool of water in the depths of the cave. The water in the pool is clear and sweet, like a good elixir.

"We're going to camp here tonight." Lin Aijun gave an order, and there was no expression on his camouflage face, "Simply clean it up in a while, and then we will go hunting." Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, let's have a hearty meal here. ”

"Yes!" The two dozen warriors were excited, but they still answered in a low voice.

"Captain, this water is so sweet." The horse cannon filled a full pot with a clatter, and then leaned his neck and drank happily.

"Brother Cannon, you give way first, and I want to drink water." Yu Bo squeezed away the horse cannon, and just lay on the edge of the waterhole and wanted to hold it with both hands and drink it.

"Roll the calf, the mud on your face and hands, don't get the good water dirty." Ma Cannon made a lightning shot, and directly carried the back collar placket of the aftermath and lifted it up.

"Where's your kettle?" Ma Cannon carried the person a little farther away from the waterhole and glared directly.

"It was, it was missed." Yu Bo is not very old, it should be said that he is the youngest in Lin Aijun's team of more than 20 people. Therefore, as a comrade-in-arms older than him, they take good care of him.

Ma Cannon sighed and touched the head of the bird's nest that was a mess in the aftermath, "Take it, pour water." ”

"Brother Cannon, what about you?" Yu Bo didn't answer the kettle handed by the cannon, but just looked at him with black and white eyes.

"If you take it, you can take it, why bother so much!" Ma Da Cannon had a dark face, and strode out of the cave after stuffing the kettle directly into the aftermath.

Yu Bo held the kettle in both hands, the corners of his eyes were red, and he sniffed a few steps to the edge of the waterhole and poured water.

"I'll find a piece of wood later, I'll dig a bucket, and we'll take turns washing it." Lin Aijun looked at the clothes that could no longer be seen and the smell of the stench, and frowned in disgust.

"Let's assign it later, and the injured ones don't go down any longer, let them stay on top." Ma Cannon turned his head to look at the few wounded who were leaning against the stone wall and watching the busy comrades, "We have to leave a few people to guard this cave, don't we?" ”

Lin Aijun looked at Ma Cannon amusedly, "I came here and picked some herbs, and I will cook them for them later, I won't leave them in this deep mountain." ”

Ma Cannon snorted lightly, turned his head to look into the distance and changed the subject, "How did you find this cave, it's really a good place." ”

Lin Aijun smiled and didn't speak, he couldn't tell Ma Dacang, he was a monk, and now he had practiced the fifth level of qi, and he could use his divine sense. With a sweep of the divine sense, there is no obstacle of 360 degrees within a hundred meters nearby.

The two chatted for a few words, and when they saw that the big guys had drunk water, they led them to climb down.

Lin Aijun found the cave and first climbed up with vines. After checking that there was no danger in the cave, he made some ladders with vines to make it easier for the soldiers to come up.

Living in the mountains and forests is also a training program for Lin Aijun, so the soldiers found a lot of good things when they wandered around.

As far as the prey goes, there are also wild fruits, wild vegetables, mushrooms, etc.

There are no pots, they use steel helmets. The belt was removed, and a few broken stones were directly encircled, and the steel helmet was filled with water, and all the meat and vegetables were thrown in, and the salt was sprinkled, and the delicious broth was completed.

On the other side, a fire was lit, and the rabbit meat and snake meat were hung on a simple stand. There are pheasants covered in mud buried in the fire, and there are unknown sweet potatoes like Dongdong, and the sweet smell is bubbling out.

Lin Aijun smeared wild honey on each barbecue, squeezed some wild lemon juice, and sprinkled homemade spices, the smell was ...... If it weren't for the halfway up the mountain, I wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous.

"Captain, you can really do it, just pull some leaves, grass seeds or something and rub a few to make spices, I smell better than the barbecue in my hometown." A man with thick eyebrows and deep eyes and a very tough appearance, grinning white teeth, and glowing green eyes stared at the roast rabbit meat on the shelf.

"Don't talk big, it's not too late to express your opinion when you eat it." Lin Aijun turned the wooden stick in his hand very patiently, and sprinkled some salt or spices on the rabbit meat from time to time, until the whole rabbit was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, he carefully took it off and put it on the banana leaf on the side.

"Don't be in a hurry to swallow saliva first, go and wash your body, on the evening of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, you have to clean yourself up." Lin Aijun raised his chin and gestured to the mud and dirt of the Xinjiang guy Amu.

Amu's face was covered with mud and oil paint, and he couldn't tell if he had ever blushed, but he obediently went to take a bath.

Hunting and finding wild animals is trivial for the soldiers, so Lin Aijun didn't participate, but just opened his divine sense to guard for them.

And he himself focused on looking for dead wood, very thick dead wood, dead wood suitable for digging buckets or baths.

Fortunately, there are always one or two big trees in the mountains and forests that die quietly, which cheapens Lin Aijun.

The dagger was prepared for him by Du Juan, and he sharpened iron like clay, and he didn't know where he found it. Lin Aijun used his spiritual power slightly, and a big tree surrounded by two people quietly fell.

Directly cut off a few sections and carried them back to the hole, and the wood dug out was just used as firewood. Therefore, by the time Ma Cannon returned with the hunting team, Lin Aijun had already dug three large bath buckets, two buckets, and a bunch of wooden bowls and chopsticks.

"Your posture, as if we are going to settle here, the whole scene is too big." Ma Cannon took a bath happily, wiped his dripping hair, sat on the wooden pier, and threw the cloth towel with several holes on his shoulder, "I'll bake it, captain, you go wash it too." ”

Lin Aijun was as good as a stream, gave up his position to Ma Cannon, and took out a cloth towel that was also full of holes from his marching bag and walked towards the waterhole.

More than 20 people, all cleaned, sat in a circle, and in the middle of the circle were various delicacies served with banana leaves.

The warriors all carried wooden bowls full of broth.

Lin Aijun didn't stand up, he just sat cross-legged, raised the bowl slightly, looked at the soldiers around him and said, "Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, we can't go home, captain I don't have any skills, I can only prepare this simple dinner for you." ”

"Captain, this is the most sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve meal I've ever had since I grew up." Yu Bo's eyes are a little red, he has many children, and he can't eat meat a few times a year, "You see, so much meat, and it's all smeared with honey and juice, which is absolutely not eaten at home." ”

"Captain, don't bother to say a word, everyone is waiting to eat meat!" Ma Cannon helped Yi demolish Lin Aijun's platform to adjust the atmosphere, "You see, since we entered the old forest, we haven't had a decent hot meal, so you don't say a word...... Let's eat! ”

Lin Aijun shook his head with a smile, took the bowl, and took a big sip of soup, which was regarded as accepting Ma Dacang's opinion.

Suddenly, only the sound of chewing remained in the not too big cave, and no one had time to speak.

In a small mountain village about 500 meters away from Lin Aijun, a group of soldiers came tonight. They are soldiers of Country Y, and they are a small detachment that has come to support the people who are being chased by Lin Aijun and them and fleeing in all directions.

This squad suffered heavy casualties, but fortunately the transmitter was still there, otherwise it would not have been able to wait for a support team.

After the two teams met, they entered this small mountain village together.

There are few families in the small mountain village, and the conditions are very poor, and the houses are built directly with trees.

The villagers were very enthusiastic when they saw the soldiers of Country Y, and they took out their own food for them.

These soldiers were not polite, they took whatever the villagers brought, and took it away if they couldn't finish eating, saying that it was used as dry food on the road.

Lin Aijun didn't kill all the personnel of this squad at the beginning, and Ma Cannon had quite an opinion, but later heard that it was to attract more enemies, and Ma Cannon was relieved.

"Captain, how many people do you think those people will attract?" After eating and drinking, Ma Cannon took a sawdust and squatted at the mouth of the cave with Lin Aijun to pick his teeth.

"There's always a detachment of people." Lin Aijun said a little absent-mindedly.

As soon as Ma Cannon looked at it, he knew that the captain was thinking about his sister-in-law again.

"Captain, when do you think we'll be back to camp?" Ma Cannon was a little depressed, thinking that he could go back after the war, but he didn't want to be in this old forest, wandering around for almost two years, and there was no sign of leaving.

And the group of Y soldiers on the other side have also been playing hide and seek with them, which makes Ma Cannon's teeth itch with hatred.

Lin Aijun's ink-like eyes kept looking at the north, as if he could see the family talking and laughing together in the restaurant of the Lin family's compound.

Of course, there is also the woman who makes him think about it day and night, and he must be busy today. Without him, I don't know who will take care of her more?

Alas, it's been almost two years!

Lin Aijun sighed, as if he was talking to Ma Cannon, and as if he was telling himself, "Next year is a critical year!" ”

In his previous life, Lin Aijun didn't live for 80 years, so I don't know how many years this war has been fought?

And Du Juan doesn't care about this kind of thing, so she can't get prediction from her.

Pulling a piece of grass from the cliff wall in his mouth, Lin Aijun looked at the twinkling stars above his head. The mountain breeze with some moisture blew on the body, and after a while, the exposed skin was a little wet and sticky.

"Let's go to sleep, let's fix it in the cave for a few days, let the gang let their guard down, and then we'll serve them in one pot." After Lin Aijun finished speaking, he stood up, stretched his waist, and walked to the cave.

Ma Cannon also stood up, patted the dust on his buttocks, pulled his shoes, and kicked and kicked into the hole.

There was a fire burning in the cave, and the warriors were sleeping in various positions around the fire.

Usually in the woods, they only dare to squint, how can they sleep as confidently and boldly as today?

Lin Aijun found a clean place, leaning against the mountain wall, with his eyes closed, seemingly sleeping, but in fact he was practicing.

He has been practicing like this for the past two years, but fortunately, the exercises that Du Juan taught him can be collected at any time and will not be affected by the disturbance of the outside world. (To be continued.) )
