During this time, although Zhou Nan was still eating at Gao Yuan's house, there were many times when Gao Yuan was not eating at home, and secondly, he set the rules of the village from that day, and arranged the steward of the woman in the village to cook for the soldiers on duty in the family protection club every day, and handed it over to Gao Yun, Gao Yun was extremely attentive, and often took turns to cook for the soldiers on duty in the family protection society. After seeing the power of Guo Xingzu's gunpowder today, Zhou Nan felt some confidence in his heart.

Coincidentally, Gao Yun is not on duty today, so she doesn't have to cook for the family care club. Gao Yun is also very smart and capable, from the day Zhou Nan told her that she wanted her to organize the women in the village to cook for the family protection society, she found a few sisters, got together, discussed, and finally learned Gao Yuan's method of their shifts, and counted all the women who could cook in the village, counting the number of people, three people as a group, a group of people every day, and taking turns to cook and deliver meals to the soldiers on duty in the family protection society; Each class has a leader. At first, Gao Yun must be there in every class, leading each class to know where to receive rice and meat, where to cook, how many people to cook, where to send the food, and finally take back the utensils and wash them. Now that all classes have taken turns, Gao Yun doesn't have to go every day.

When the two returned home, Gao Yuan was really absent again, Gao Yun asked Zhou Nan to sit down, and went to fetch water to wash Zhou Nan's hands. Zhou Nan was not polite, washed his face, and sat down to drink water, it was already afternoon food time for each family, and he knew that Gao Yuan was going to come back after eating in the playground.

After a while, Gao Yun brought rice, and the two sat down to eat, it was still the millet bean rice that Gao Yun made for him, and the dish was just a freshly dug tender wild vegetable. Gao Yun said apologetically: "Da Lang, please eat, but I don't know that Da Lang eats at home and has never made meat to eat." ”

Zhou Nanjia said: "This is very good, light and refreshing." Gao Yun pursed her lips and smiled: "Brother, I just don't have meat to eat." Zhou Nan explained for Gao Yuan: "Brother Gao works hard every day, only eats vegetables, and if his physical strength can't keep up, he must eat more meat." Gao Yun said: "The slave family knows, and in the future, they will give him meat to eat every day, but don't eat the family." Zhou Nanqi said: "How can we eat all the meat in our family?" Gao Yun smiled: "It's still a lot, you can eat as much as you want." ”

Zhou Nan remembered something and said: "The three of us can make a living, and there is no natural enough to eat; I just don't know if other people's families are enough, they can't hunt in the spring, they haven't harvested in the fields, and they have a large number of people, so I'm afraid that they won't be enough. Gao Yun sighed: "Da Lang, in previous years, every year through winter and spring, I don't know how many people starved to death, but this year, no one froze to death and starved to death, the slave family is very happy, this is Da Lang's ability." Zhou Nan nodded and said, "I hope that everyone in the village can be happy and worry-free, but if there is no food, how can they be happy?" Sister Yun'er, you have to pay a visit to see how much leftover food there is in the village, how long is it enough to eat? Gao Yunxi said: "Da Lang entrusts that the slave family will visit with all his heart." It's just that Da Lang has a way? Zhou Nan said: "There is still gold and silver in the treasury, and I only have to buy some grain from the state, but I can last for more than a month, and the summer grain is harvested, so I can rest assured." Do we have enough food at home? Gao Yun said with a slight sadness: "Originally, a few hundred stones of grain was enough to eat, but my brother and Da Lang filled all the grain into the warehouse, and there was not much surplus grain at home." Save it, and it's enough to eat for two months. Zhou Nan nodded, people like them only have two months of grain left, and there must be even fewer in other households. How much surplus grain is there in the public treasury? Zhou Nan knew that Gao Yun often went to the public treasury to get rice, and asked Gao Yundao.

"There are fewer in the warehouse, save some use, and there will be about a month to eat." Gao Yun sighed and said. Zhou Nan was silent, if it goes on like this, it seems that he is really going to go out to buy some food and come back.

After eating, another hour passed, Gao Yuan came in covered with sweat, and when he saw Zhou Nan, he shouted loudly: "Da Lang, you are so leisurely, I have been practicing these days, your hard bow ......" As soon as Gao Yuan talked about the hard bow, he couldn't help but hate and said: "Your hard bow, two stones, only me and Jia Liu in the team opened, and the rest of the people only opened five stones." Zhou Nan tried hard to hold back, but he still laughed and said: "Big brother Hugh, in the past, he shot rabbits and deer, and in the future, he was afraid of shooting people and horses. ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "I know." That's why I've been practicing for an hour more recently than usual. Zhou Nan said: "I'm waiting for the eldest brother, I have something to discuss." Saying that, pulling Gao Yuan into the house, Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask what was the matter, Zhou Nan said to Gao Yuan: "Big brother, this kind of practice, after all, there is no battle, and the practice time is short, not as good as the battle-hardened." I want to divide the family protection society into two teams, in addition to the exercise, every other day to a drill, each other for attack and defense, one side pretended to come to the enemy to attack the cottage, the other side in the village defense, both sides use wooden knives and guns, the tip of the knife and gun blade is painted chalk, there is chalk on the body, the body has chalk for the dead and wounded, exit the drill, the arrow should be made of wooden round arrowhead, also painted chalk, so that the day has benefit, and there is no risk of hurting people. Every two days of practice, one day of practice, what do you think, big brother? ”

Gao Yuan slapped the table and said, "That's very good!" I'll do it tomorrow. Dalang, how did you think of it? Zhou Nan replied casually: "A few days ago, I heard the gossip of the craftsmen, talking about the method of training soldiers in the army, I thought this method was very good, so I discussed it with my eldest brother." ”

Gao Yuan walked around the ground excitedly, laughing and laughing, looking at his expression, as if he wanted to practice now. Zhou Nan persuaded: "Big brother will continue to practice tomorrow, and I will prepare wooden knives and guns tomorrow, and I can practice the day after tomorrow." Gao Yun also said: "Brother is anxious, if you see the gunpowder that Da Lang makes people match today, my brother is still dissatisfied with the mountain and shouts all over the mountain." ”

Gao Yuan heard that it was gunpowder, thinking that it was still smoking gunpowder like last time, and Gao Yun was a girl who had never seen a battle, so he was surprised, so he didn't care very much.

Zhou Nan saw that Gao Yuan was so excited, and knew that if he didn't distract him, he wouldn't want to sleep in peace tonight, so he said to Gao Yuan again: "Big brother, I just talked to Sister Yun'er about the food stored in the village, I'm afraid it's not much, what should I do?" ”

Sure enough, Zhou Nan said that there was not much food, which made Gao Yuan suddenly worried, and Gao Yuan also sighed: "Last year was good, in previous years, which winter did not freeze to death and starve to death?" In the spring, it is green and yellow, so I have to eat wild vegetables. Zhou Nan told Gao Yuancai about his real worries: "I'm afraid that there will be another military disaster this year, do you remember the two nobles in Youzhou City?" ”

Gao Yuan smiled strangely, looked at Zhou Nan and said, "Da Lang said that little princess who looks like a fairy?" I naturally remember. That night, you and Princess Namei ...... you."
