Shen Li hurried back, to the kitchen to take out the dough, with a rolling pin to press the dough, and then with a kitchen knife to open finely, when doing these things, she also boiled the water in the cauldron, and then put more than a pound of cut noodles on the pot, after the boiling water boiled, she lay down two eggs, plus some vegetables in the pot, soon the noodles were cooked, she used a large bowl of blue and white to fill out a bowl of noodles, and deliberately sprinkled some sesame oil when the pot started, a bowl of fragrant soup cakes was ready.

The Shen family is from Dengzhou, and the food method of eating rice here in Jiangbei is different, supplemented by noodles, Dengzhou side, there are many opportunities to eat seafood, and the staple food is mainly pasta, and rice is almost no one eats.

When it comes to Dahewei, rice or brown rice is the staple food, millet millet is also eaten by many people, only breakfast or dinner, people use sorghum or millet to make steamed buns, accompanied by porridge rice porridge, which is considered a good meal.

From the Shen family to Dahewei, they can only follow the local customs, they can eat how the locals eat, it would be good to survive in a foreign land, they have always been half-starved and half-full in terms of diet, how dare they be picky?

Now life is better, Shen Li has replaced the polished rice with noodles, but he has made a small profit, after all, people are used to eating rice here in Dahewei, and the audience of noodles is smaller, and the price of noodles is slightly cheaper than the price of rice.

Serve a bowl, and then serve it with shredded radish and sprinkle some salt, it is a side dish with soup cakes, quite a hearty and attentive breakfast.

Shen Li's own work in the garment factory, a stone of brown rice per month, this income is not too conspicuous in the hundred households now, if it was changed before February, Shen Li would not have thought that there would be such a good thing.

At that time, Shen Yong's monthly salary was no more than four buckets, and most of them were coarse grains mixed with mold and stones, Shen Yong had to do some private work, Shen Li's slurry laundry for people in the winter, and Shen Liang was a husband to carry the work, so the family barely survived.

If someone said at that time that Shen Li could earn a stone of brown rice every month by making clothes, I am afraid that the family would never believe it.

That is, in this hundred households, because a large number of military robes have to be made in a short period of time, the salary given is quite generous, and it also attracts women who are ingenious and good at sewing in many nearby villages. A skillful woman like Shen Li naturally rose in status, and many women laughed at her, if the garment factory was expanded, I am afraid that she would earn more than men.

Shen Li didn't have such thoughts, but now he can make money to supplement his family, and the woman's heart is extremely satisfied.

The two children had eaten breakfast early, and ate soup cakes, and now they were playing with a large group of children in the open space outside the barracks outside the Lixuwai barracks, and they might also run to the beach to play, where they caught small crabs and small fish, and all kinds of snails, and these things on the seashore in these years can always catch a lot between the high tide and the low tide. But these seafood meat is too small, and you have to spend firewood to cook it, later generations like these delicate seafood, appreciate the taste, for the people of this era, these seafood without oil, water and meat and small shells are not very good choice, can not resist hunger, is the child to catch and play, can also be a snack at night, coax the children to eat and play.

Shen Li's eyes were full of relief and joy, although she had to be responsible for the family's food from morning to noon, and she had to finish the day's work and report it before dark, and there were housework waiting for her home, but she was now extremely content. Compared with the family's experience of escaping day and night in the pile of corpses, the pain of going to a strange place without food and clothing, and even bullying, the children were also suppressed and bullied by local children, all of this has become a thing of the past, reminding her to cherish the life in front of her very much.

Shen Yong put down the bird gun in his hand and began to eat breakfast.

The taste of this thin noodle soup cake is excellent, the noodles rolled out of the thin noodles are very strong, and the fragrance of white noodles is a supreme delicacy for people of this era.

Even if Shen Yong was full of worries, when he ate this soup cake, it was quite sweet, Shen Li sat on his side and said, "The bowl will be put away in a while, and I will clean it up when I come back at noon." ”

"yes, got it."

"Little Er, they will run to the beach, will be fine?"

"Don't worry, it's okay." Shen Yong glanced at his son who was playing crazy in the distance, his eyes were full of softness, and he said with a smile: "There are just two sentry towers set up there by the sea, and there are sentries on duty in turn, even if there are people in the middle of the night, don't worry about it." ”

"There is nothing in the sea, and a sentry tower is built?"

"Alas, isn't this a defense from the sea?"

Although this large beach has a salt pond construction site, the terrain is also a tidal flat and sandy beach, the entire coastline does not have the coastal slopes and reef areas of Dengzhou, which is also the characteristic of this large coastline, the sea has no way to moor close to the sea, but the sea is good at water, if they put down the boat in the offshore place, and even step on the sea is not impossible, since the police message came back, Min Yuanqi ordered to set up a few guard towers on the seaside, and you can observe the sea situation along the coast for more than ten miles during the day. It is also possible to protect yourself from enemy raids from the sea at night.

Hearing Haikou's topic, Shen Li also sighed, and his eyebrows furrowed.

Since the three hundredth households under the leadership of Min Yuanqi have undergone earth-shaking changes, everyone's life is better, if there is no threat of bandits, everyone is afraid that they will be extremely easy, but after the threat, outsiders have gone a lot, and a lot of people have left, after all, many people have no food and clothing, and the loss of the work in front of them is already heart-wrenching, and then deduct and return the food and salary received before, which is unacceptable.

But if you don't accept it, you have to risk fighting with the 300th household.

Not to mention the ordinary flag army, even those hundred households with different thoughts, or even Li Kecheng and others in the city of thousands of households, who dare to confront the more than 400 banner troops under the command of Min Yuanqi?

After the reform of the military salary system and the compilation of regulations, it can be regarded as once again establishing a system of rewards and punishments, with clear rewards and punishments, and early establishment of prestige, and most of the military attaches at the grassroots level from the rank of officer are old men who have followed Min Yuanqi to fight in the river house. These people have already boarded the boat, and it goes without saying that they are loyal, plus most of the more than 20 young children of the Min family have entered the camp, as well as old people, relatives and friends, these people add up to more than 100 people. In these years, the clan forces of relatives and friends have a closed and conservative side that interferes with individual freedom, and there are also interconnected interests that prosper and lose both.

Assuming that Min Yuanqi wants to rebel now, other people may not follow, even if the people in the clan are angry and helpless, they can only follow together, because the great crime of rebellion is not only the crime and himself, but also the people in the clan are also to be questioned.

This is still the Ming Dynasty, when the Qin and Han dynasties were replaced, the crime of rebellion was a big crime, I was cut in the waist, the relatives were the three clans, how many ministers were involved in the rebellion case, and they were punished by the clan for some reason, there are too many examples of this kind.

Min Yuanqi himself has prestige, force, loyalty to the old department, and there are still clansmen to help, these more than 400 people say that they are trained in the flag army, and the salary and silver they receive are Min Yuanqi's private property, so they are actually equivalent to family members like Li Junsun and Wang Wumai.

Who has such a strong force in the entire Great River Guard, including the commander? If it weren't for the threat of pirates and bandits, it would be a bit of peace of mind.

"Don't worry too much." The soup cake in Shen Yong's mouth also seemed to have lost its taste all of a sudden, he put down the soup bowl and said, "Everything is in charge of Master Min anyway, let's do our part with peace of mind." ”

Shen Li smiled reluctantly, and at a glance he caught a glimpse of Shen Liang striding over, because he stood up and said, "Uncle is here, have you eaten, do you want to eat some soup cakes?" ”

Shen Liang wears a flap helmet on his head, this is a new helmet that Shen Yong has played a few days ago, there is no ornament, the top of his head is an iron pimple-like decoration, the brim and shape are no different from the helmets of the Ming army battalion soldiers, if you look at it elsewhere, others are afraid that they will think that Shen Liang is a battalion military attaché.

On the body, he was wearing a suit of chain mail, which was not under the cotton armor, and even exceeded, and it was quite light.

Shen Liang was originally a spearman, and later when he was transferred to the knife player, he was wearing cotton armor on the outside and chain mail on the inside, and there were not many armors of the banner soldiers of the hundred households. Good things like iron armor are also regarded as treasures by the governor's general soldiers, and they will never be easily placed in a place like the delivery station.

Zhu Wanchun also promised to find a way to get a batch of iron armor from the Nanjing arsenal, the number will not be much, the less will be dozens of collars, and the more will not exceed two hundred, Nanjing's arsenal is in charge of the eunuchs and lords, and it happens to be an opportunity for big businessmen like the Zhu family to take advantage of, whether it is Caojiang Camp or Nanjing Jingying, the number of people adds up to more than 100,000 people, of course, this is just the number of account books, Nanjing's Beijing Camp has long been rotten, and it has no combat power at all, although those iron armor is a good thing, but if the Zhu family is willing to spend a lot of money, of course, it is not impossible to get, It's just that Zhu Wanchun is quite cautious and doesn't have a big ticket.

Of course, the armor worn by the banner soldiers is mainly cotton armor, supplemented by a small amount of leather armor and chain mail.

Now that Shen Liang has been transferred to the firearms team, most of the firearms team members are not wearing armor, one is to focus on armor to affect the action, which is inconvenient to play and put away, and second, the firearms team will not fight with the enemy after all, so there is no need to wear armor.

Shen Liang's chain mail was because he had to walk around in front of the formation to command, and the risk was much greater than that of ordinary team members, so Min Yuanqi specially ordered that it be assigned to this flag captain to wear.

Of course, according to Min Yuanqi's thoughts, a major misunderstanding of the Ming army's firearms was that they did not pay attention to the physical fitness and combat training of the firearms battalions.

After that, his banner soldiers, even if they were firecrackers, had to train their physical fitness and fighting skills like ordinary soldiers, and as for the white-edged combat methods of firecrackers, Min Yuanqi was still under consideration.

Shen Liang was quite respectful of his sister-in-law, and after bowing with his crossed hands, he said: "The camp is going to gather urgently, I am here to get the fire, I have already eaten breakfast in the camp in the morning, and my sister-in-law doesn't have to bother." ”

"Going out for a run again?" Shen Yong handed over the bird gun and said with a smile: "You have worked hard enough this month's salary, if your subordinates are not qualified again, your flag captain will be reprimanded." ”

In recent days, Min Yuanqi has added long-distance training subjects to his subordinates, running about 30 miles back and forth from the 300th to the 900th households, fully armed and carrying coconut scoop lunch boxes and other equipment, running back and forth at the speed of rapid marching, according to the standard is half an hour and five miles, an hour is ten miles, and thirty miles takes about three hours, but in fact, the banner army cannot reach this standard. If you can run ten miles in half an hour empty-handed, it is not too difficult, and everyone runs at a speed of about half an hour and ten miles in the morning. But the whole armed training is not up to this standard for the time being, each person wears several pounds of petal helmets, and then wears about 20 pounds of bubble nail cotton armor, the knife in the hand or the hanging waist knife is also several pounds heavy, plus the rest of the equipment, hanging knives, flints, coconut scoops and other things around the waist, carrying blankets or thin quilts behind their backs, each person is close to 40 pounds, fully armed armor and equipment, and has to maintain the marching column, and then want to run to half an hour and five miles, it is really difficult.

After a few days of training, most of the soldiers were barely able to meet the standard, but the firearms team members generally failed, which made Shen Liang, the flag captain, feel quite embarrassed.

The main thing is that the firecrackers have to carry firearms, bullets, and gunpowder, which are quite troublesome, and the primer and projectile are packed in small wooden boxes, and dozens of them are loaded according to the requirements of the rationing bullets.

"Everyone's physical fitness is not bad, but they are not used to it yet." Shen Liang smiled reluctantly and replied: "It is estimated that you can pass after a few more runs, but according to the adult's idea, the infantry will have to march more than sixty miles a day in the future, and in the future, the fully armed march will have to reach the standard of about ten miles per hour, and there will be some training...... This time it's a real gathering, not a walkthrough. ”

"Really an emergency gathering?" Shen Yong has a very close relationship with the army, and he is no stranger to the military affairs in the battalion, so he suddenly got together, stared at Shen Liang with both eyes, and said in a deep voice: "What is the exact news coming back?" ”
