By dusk, those who slept soundly, those who were drunk and asleep, and those who tossed and turned, all got up one after another.

Huo Bao looked at Niu Qing, and then went to the small kitchen without seeing anything, staring at the food at night.

It's a great event, and you have to eat it well.

……

The kitchenette is dedicated to several leaders, and it is stocked with a variety of ingredients.

There are mutton, beef, and pork in the ice book, chickens, ducks, and hares in cages, and a few live fish in two large tanks.

"Wow! It's really complete! ”

Huo Bao only felt that his eyes were not enough.

He delivered a return of grain last time, and he also stayed in the state government for one night, eating white rice, and the dish was bacon and dried beans, a stewed cabbage, which looked like a small stove compared to the bean rice below.

Now it seems that even if it is a small stove, it is a small stove in a large kitchen.

This Jiang Ping is really ridiculous, how many more mouthfuls of meat can enter his mouth?

Be stingy.

The master chefs in the small kitchen are all worried.

People outside don't know about the changes in the state government, don't they know that these errand people in the yamen don't know?

Last night was fine, and the small kitchen prepared two tables of seats for the guests to wash the dust.

The food and drinks were delivered.

The combination of the three counties is a big deal in Chuzhou.

It is not only the generals who lead the troops to come, but the key two are the brother-in-law of the third master and the cousin of the third master, these are all characters that everyone cannot offend.

In order to prevent the masters from adding dishes temporarily, the master did not go home and took a few apprentices to guard in the small kitchen.

When you keep the second watch, it's different.

There are more soldiers at the door of the kitchen, and they are not allowed to enter or leave.

The master and apprentice all knew that this was mostly about to "change the sky".

They are all old people who work as errands in the county government and have experienced the changes of last month.

I just can't guess what this will become?

Did the imperial court "recover" Chuzhou, or did the whiteshirts from elsewhere call?

stayed up until dawn, but the soldiers still did not remove.

The master and apprentice didn't dare to leave, and the people who were off duty also came back one after another.

Everyone has no brains, so they can only wait for orders from above.

Unexpectedly, from morning to afternoon, only one table was called in the morning and one table at noon.

There are a lot of meals on a table, but there are only two or three chopsticks.

There are only one or two masters left in this state capital?

Huo Bao's arrival was unanimously welcomed by the small kitchen.

I'm not afraid to call it work, I'm afraid I won't call it work.

"Pick a few pieces of tender beef and roast it directly, this is what my Uncle Bao loves to eat...... Mutton is used as a meatloaf, add more fatty meat, this sixth master loves to eat...... Cousin Deng likes to eat big meat and roast a piece of pork belly...... Xue ...... Well, the seventh master is a vegetarian, and the two vegetarian dishes are exquisitely made......"

The master wrote them down one by one.

Huo Bao remembered Uncle Tang's words, and said: "Master Tang and Master Lin have been in the state government for almost a month, what flavors do you like, you also have a number of them, so pick up the ones they like and ......."

The master looked embarrassed: "Oh, my master, I really don't know this old Guo!" These days, Jiang Ye has ordered a meal, and the rest of the masters are called to the small kitchen to watch...... When Ma Ye lived in the state government before, he delivered four dishes for each meal, all of which were ordinary meat dishes, but there were no left, so he couldn't see what he liked to eat; Master Lin's side, only picking up plain ......"

Huo Bao raised his eyebrows.

Once the feelings entered the state government, Jiang Ping enjoyed happiness.

It's no wonder that the owner of Ma Zhai and Master Lin chose to stay, which is too bad to take people seriously.

They are generals with 5,000 men under their command.

There is also Master Lin, I heard that now the state government affairs are in the hands of the old man.

Such an ability should not be so neglected if you don't say it.

Huo Bao nodded: "Then clean up the two fresh fish, steam them well, and turn around and put them in front of Tang Ye." As soon as I saw the tip of the lotus root, which is still rare, I put it in front of Master Lin. Prepare eight tables, and the amount of dishes for the first and second seats should be large......"

Chuzhou is not near the water, and live fish is expensive, which is considered the best ingredient.

The tip of the lotus root is considered to be fresh in June, and it is all transported from the south of the Yangtze River.

As for the amount of dishes, there are Deng Jian and Huo Bao, and the amount of dishes is not enough to eat.

"Boil another porridge, with two good side dishes, and send it to the guest room ......"

Huo Bao thought for a while, but didn't pull it down, and pointed to Bingjian's side: "The remaining beef is used as jerky, and then I ask someone to buy dozens of catties of tenderloin to make dried meat." Don't be sweet, be salty and fragrant, and send it back to Uncle Bao as a snack! ”

Master Fu Lehe

When he turned and came back, everyone gathered around.

"Has the day changed?"

"Eight tables, so many people eating? Ma Ye, Tang Ye, and Lin Ye are all here, what's going on? ”

"Who's in charge? Second Master Jiang hasn't ordered food for a day! ”

The master rolled his eyes and said, "The young master who came is surnamed Huo, don't you know who is in charge?" ”

"Is this my brother-in-law robbing my brother-in-law's territory?" Someone whispered.

"To die! Dare to spray anything, don't die! The master shouted in a low voice.

The man covered his mouth and didn't dare to squeak again.

……

At the time of the lantern, everyone came to the banquet hall.

Same place as yesterday, only a few more tables.

Huo Bao asked Huo Wu, so he ran around the owner of the horse village and Tang Guang, and asked the list to come out.

As for Deng Jian's subordinates, Huo Bao is all familiar with each other.

Today's dinner table has eight tables, and there are seats above the length of the song.

The only two exceptions are Lin Ping'an and Liang Zhuang.

Lin Ping'an is the newly finalized medical soldier Qu Chang, Liang Zhuang recruited 300 child soldiers from the state camp today and was promoted to Dai Qu Chang.

Looking at the past, it is either the old acquaintance of Black Python Mountain, or the old man of Quyang County.

Huo Wu sat in the middle of the first table, and the master of Ma Zhai, Deng Jian, Xue Biao, Master Lin, and Tang Guang were divided left and right.

Huo Bao, Shui Jin, Wang Qianhu, and the second table of the leaders of Black Python Mountain.

Huo Bao, Lin Ping'an, and several newly promoted state soldiers were at the third table of thousands of households.

Liang Zhuang and the remaining dozens of Qu Chang sat at the remaining five tables respectively.

Everyone is familiar with each other, and the atmosphere is immediately different.

Even if there was a change last night, it was an outsider. I am all here, and I feel happy to speak and pan.

……

At the first table, Huo Wu lifted the wine cup, and first said to the master of Ma Zhai: "Sixth, let's go with one brother!" ”

The owner of the horse village didn't get up, took the wine cup, and touched it: "Fifth brother, who is with whom of our buddies?" No matter how polite it is, it's no fun! ”

Huo Wu did it, and said with a straight face: "Brother Wu doesn't talk about other good words, just one sentence, the foal will be my daughter in the future!" I can't say that she treats her better than Xiaobao, but Xiaobao is a foal behind her, and this fifth brother pats his chest and promises! ”

"No need for the fifth brother to guarantee, the sixth brother believes in the fifth brother!" The owner of the horse village did it in one bite.

Huo Wu raised his glass to Deng Jian again: "Cousin, I can see that your hands are itchy, don't worry, this battle will be indispensable for you in the future!" Even in this battle with the state, it will also be handed over to you to lead the troops, and you can fight as much as you want! ”

Deng Jian sat down safely, and it was difficult to hide his rebelliousness: "Cousin, don't worry, Hezhou, Luzhou, let's come one by one!" My cousin is the first general in this position, and my brother is the one who will do it! ”

"Haha! Good! Cousin waits! ”

Huo Wu did it, and Deng Jian also raised his head and drank it all.

Huo Wu raised his glass to Xue Biao again: "Old Seven, you are interesting these days, Fifth Brother has to toast you well!" ”

Xue Biao couldn't sit still.

What do you mean?

The owner of the horse village has a love for Chuzhou, and Deng Jian is a fierce general who is about to be used, how can he be interesting enough?

Huo Wu, is this something in the words?

Xue Biao stood up, raised the wine cup with both hands, and said, "Fifth brother is too high to lift my younger brother...... I can't help the fifth brother with anything......"

"Why didn't it help? Xiaobao told me, you helped him arrange the food in Jinling, or he is a hairy child, where to buy food without a head and no brains? Without food support, Quyang can't survive, and the more than 20,000 people in Chuzhou can't survive today. You should take the lead in this matter! ”

“……”

Xue Biao was a little weak-hearted.

"I ...... Didn't do anything ......."

I also made a lot of money in the middle.

Xue Biao didn't answer, but turned to the others present and said, "We are going to fight...... How to evaluate the merits and demerits are also determined, and they all fall to the rules one by one, so we will follow the rules in the future, and the boys below are also down-to-earth...... Starting from Quyang, those who followed my cousin to Quyang, those who followed me to Binjiang, and those who followed Lao Liu, Mr. Lin, and Lao Tang to Chuzhou, we all recorded them in the booklet...... Our business has opened, this first come, not to mention a little more light than the later one, but it can't be disadvantaged! There is also Lao Qi, who does not directly lead the troops in his hands, the logistics have given us a boost, and the people have given us a good reputation, and we have to give him a record of military exploits, don't you say? ”

"As it should be!"

"Follow the rules!"

"Remember!"

"The fifth master is right!"

Xue Biao was speechless with excitement, and his arm holding the wine cup trembled.

Military merit is the heaviest, you can't fight, but you can also make military merit?

"Old Seven! Do a good job, you are rarely studying Maitreya at the moment, just think about it, how much territory we fight, how big will you be...... It's just that when you publicize it, remember to say that our Chuzhou Army is in the head, we are not a true Buddhist army that takes a stitch from the people, and we are worthy of the love of the people, and the white-shirted army recognized by the people must be us, and we can't ......recognize it from anywhere."

"Well, I listen to the fifth brother, and I must promote the benefits of our Chuzhou army!" Xue Biao was a little excited and drank the wine in the cup.

Huo Wu mentioned wine to Master Lin again.

Master Lin stood up, also holding the cup with both hands.

The others were a little surprised when they saw it.

After a day's work, Master Lin changed his attitude.

As a master, Master Lin lacked the word "loyalty", and successively followed the master of Ma Zhai, Du Laoba, and apprentice San, and Huo Wu was already the fourth mastermind.

The old man seems to be modest, but he is proud in his bones.

Only this time, the old man really put down the shelf and was willing to be a person.

Huo Wudao: "I have already sent a letter to Binjiang, and my nephew Huo Shun will go north to Liaoyangwei to pick up Brother Lin and ......come back."

"Fifth Master ......" Master Lin was very surprised.

The three counties of Chuzhou need to be integrated and prepare for war, which is the time when there is a shortage of manpower.

"As a father, I can understand Mr. Lin's heart of thinking about his son! Mr. Lin's enemy is the sky, I, Huo Wu, have no strength at the moment, I can't lift this day, the only thing I can do for Mr. is this! ”

"Fifth Master Xie!"

Master Lin's eyes were red, and he ate a glass of wine.

It was Tang Guang's turn.

Without waiting for Huo Wu to raise his glass, Tang Guang had already stood up: "Old Tang is a make-up person, and he hasn't worked hard for the fifth master, and he has no face to eat the respect of the fifth master." Old Tang respects the fifth master for a cup, and in the future, Lao Tang will follow the fifth master! It's just that I can't do anything about Old Tang, I'm afraid I can't mention it, the fifth master doesn't dislike Old Tang's waste! ”

"You are a friend of Lao Liu, and you are a friend of my Huo Wu, and if you talk about this, you are to see the outside, from today onwards, you are all a family! Family, what other strengths and weaknesses do you say? If you really want to compare, I can't compare to Mr. Lin in Wenzhi, I can't compare to my cousin in bravery, I can't compare to the sixth in logistics, and I can't compare to the seventh in terms of wealth, even if I don't have popularity, I can't compare to you Tang...... The big guy didn't pick me, how big of a face do I have to pick everyone? ”

Tang Guang sighed: "What kind of popularity, it's all because you are impatient that you pushed me out to follow ...... Well...... Deal with these tenants. ”

"That's what it's like! When we get to the place, we can't do without these things to communicate, and in the future, you will pick a leader! ”

Tang Guang was overjoyed: "Xie Wuye lifted ......"

The second table was next to the main table, and Huo Bao kept an eye out for movement over there.

Some of Huo Wu's arrangements were his own ideas, and some were Huo Bao's proposals.

But the two most important ones, Huo Wu didn't mention them.
