After Mingyu finished speaking, he carried the small medicine shovel that Sun Simiao gave him, and outside the camp tent, he began to dig the soil and dig a pit.

Cheng Yanjin saw that he had been digging for a long time, but it was only a little bit, and said, "Doll, how big a pit do you want to dig?" ”

Li Mingyu replied without raising his head, "It's about four feet deep, three feet wide, narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, and it's a bucket shape." ”

Luo Shixin saw that his little shovel was not as big as his palm, and said with a smile, "How many years do you have to dig this?" Look at me. "Lift up the battle robe, don't shovel, use a pair of big hands with a pampas fan, stretch and dig, it is a big lump of soil, and after a while, it will be dug up.

Li Mingyu saw that this fierce general brother was like a small excavator, and said with great joy, "Dig another small one at a foot next to it, one foot deep and one foot wide, and dig through both holes from below." ”

After Luo Shixin dug according to his words, Li Mingyu put the soil dug out of the pit next to him, patted it with his hands, and then instructed Luo Shixin to dig three half-foot deep, fist-wide, and one-zhang long soil ditches next to the small pit, which were also connected from the ground to the small pit.

Finally, I picked up a bunch of leaves, firewood and grass, covered the soil ditch one by one, and covered the surface with a layer of floating soil.

Seeing that the large smokeless stove had been completed, Mingyu nodded with satisfaction. Explained to a few people, "My method is called a smokeless stove, and the secret is in these flues, increasing the flue to expand the area of smoke, and by adding leaves, firewood and grass on the flue, the smoke is dispersed as much as possible, so that smoke and smoke columns are not formed, and the concealment is increased." ”

Li Mingyu sat the iron pot on a small pit and sealed the pot tightly around it with soil. Pour water into it and put in the pheasant to make soup. There is no seasoning in the army, except for ginger and shallots, there are only a dozen or so half-dried sour dates, which are better than nothing, and they are also thrown in. After covering the pot, he instructed everyone to put the lumps of mud covered with pheasants into the big pit. With a wave of his hand, he said, "Ignition!" The elder brother suspiciously lit the firewood and put it into the pit.

Sure enough, as Mingyu said, the effect of this smokeless stove is very good, no matter how vigorous the firewood burns, you can't see the curling smoke. Several generals were amazed by this smokeless stove, Li Shiji touched the short beard on his chin, and said to himself, "This smokeless stove is really easy to use, if it is used to ambush and kill the enemy, it will not be afraid that the enemy will find out our whereabouts." ”

"Yes, during the surprise attack, they traveled thousands of miles, and the soldiers didn't have to nibble on dry cakes, they could eat them hot." Qin Qiong and the others also nodded in agreement.

Li Mingyu heard it clearly, and he was proud in his heart, and the secret way was just a smokeless stove, and I would have a lot of it.

After a while, the water in the pot boiled, bubbling and bubbling, and a rich fragrance came out, Li Mingyu calculated that the time was almost over, and commanded a few people to dig out the mud lumps, smash the yellow mud outside, and expose the white flowers called the flower chicken inside.

The chicken is yellow and shiny, the aroma is tangy, and it is rich and does not disperse, and several people can see that their index fingers are moving, and their saliva is swallowing. It's not too hot, one person holds one, and the mouth is full of oil.

Cheng Yanjin shook his head and exclaimed while eating, "Hmm! Delicious! Delicious! It's so fucking delicious! Why didn't I think the chicken was so delicious? ”

The cow ate one in a few bites, didn't even spit out the bones, chewed it, chewed it, swallowed it, reached out to grab the second one, and echoed when he heard the words, "Yes, my old cow used to think that the chicken was dry, there were no two or two meats, and it was full of bones, and it was not refreshing to eat, how could I have thought that it was so delicious, and his mother's previous decades were in vain!" ”

Wei Chigong was holding a chicken leg in one hand, and a chicken wing was still in his mouth, and he wanted to echo it, but his mouth was full of stuff, so he could only nod his head.

Li Mingyu picked two fat and big ones, kept them for the master and Li Shimin, and chose the one with the best heat, and sat aside and ate them slowly.

The crowd here is eating happily in large chunks. Because they were in the middle of the army, they all relaxed their vigilance, and suddenly heard a broken shout, "The army strictly orders that no bonfires are allowed to be set up privately!" Do you all take my orders as a deaf ear? ”

It turned out that several people were all generals that Li Shimin had taken a fancy to, and they lived next door to his barracks, and Li Shimin had finished handling his official business today and was about to walk around and inspect the camp. As soon as I walked outside the tent, I smelled the fragrance of food, followed the aroma and found it, and saw a few people eating with a mouth full of oil, and I was secretly angry in my heart, and reprimanded loudly.

This side was so frightened that the chicken wings in Wei Chigong's mouth fell to the ground in fright, and when they saw the people clearly, several people were full of smiles, and said, "Handsome!" Hehe, this...."

Li Shimin was dressed in a military uniform, his face sank like water, and he didn't speak, but just snorted in his nose.

Disobeying the order to set up a bonfire, this matter can be big or small, it all depends on whether the coach cares, if not, laugh and pass it off. If the coach is more serious, please issue military law, and it is reasonable to justify the punishment. Not long after these people joined the Tang camp, they didn't know much about the temperament and temperament of the marshal Li Shimin, and they didn't know how the marshal would investigate this matter, and cold sweat broke out on their anxious faces. Cheng Biting Jin is still the most anxious, although he looks rough and bold, but his mind is the most lively, and he smiled and said, "Hehe, this, it's like this, handsome!" This is all because Mingyu, a stinky boy, refuses to eat well, not that the chef does not make it delicious. What if children don't eat well? Didn't our brother change his tricks to coax him to eat? ”

Li Shimin was suspicious and looked at Qin Qiong. Cheng Yanjin snapped his eyes on the side, Qin Qiong was loyal by nature, and he didn't want to deceive, but he was worried that he would not be able to take credit for coming soon, and the handsome would blame a few old brothers, so he had to say half of his words, and said, "Well, Mingyu, this kid really doesn't want to eat food in the army." ”

Damn, people say that they would rather learn Taoyuan and three righteousness, not learn Wagang and a furnace of incense, these guys are too unrighteous! Li Mingyu saw that this old brother sold himself a few times, his heart was cold, and he was about to open his mouth to argue.

I saw Cheng Biting Jin also give himself a look, pointing to the hundred refining knife on his waist, which was exactly what Li Mingyu had wanted for a long time. That means, boy, for the sake of our brothers, you can admit it, anyway, the handsome man is your second uncle, and he won't really do anything to you, just go back and compensate you.

Li Mingyu rolled his eyes and shook his head, that means a knife is not enough, I am not stupid, everyone does it together, why push me a little child to the top tank.

Cheng bit Jin's back was sweating, and when he poked the cow next to him, the old cow understood, stretched out his finger and pointed at himself, and pointed at everyone, meaning that everyone has a good reward.

Li Shimin had a calm face, and just asked, "Mingyu, is that so?" ”

Li Mingyu saw that several people had promised benefits, and for the sake of the gifts, I will help you this time, and walked out dejectedly, and responded, "Yes, the chef is really unpalatable, Uncle Cheng, they are also doing this to let me eat well." ”

"Humph! At a young age! Rely on gluttony! Li Shimin snorted coldly with a tiger face, and ordered, "Because you are greedy for my military discipline!" How can you spare it! Come on, pull me down and slap him hard! ”

Li Mingyu saw that he really wanted to beat him, where was he willing to do it, and shouted, "Slow!" Nephew has something to say! ”

"Huh?" Li Shimin's face was expressionless, he couldn't see his joy or anger, and asked, "I ate secretly in private, and I caught you right, what else do you have to say about this matter?" ”

Li Mingyu already knew Li Shimin's character, so he grinned and said, "Where is the stealing food, isn't it the best thing to set aside for the second uncle a long time ago." After speaking, he went to fetch the flower chicken reserved for him, and smashed the yellow mud, which was full of aroma. Mingyu relied on his close relationship with Li Shimin, tore off a piece of chicken with his own hands, and handed it to Li Shimin's mouth flatteringly.

Li Shimin first closed his eyes and smelled the aroma, but he was not polite, opened his mouth to eat a few bites, and praised, "It really tastes beautiful!" Count your kid still have a conscience, and you know that you are thinking about the second uncle. ”

Li Shimin smiled at Qin Qiong and the others, "It's just me and Mingyu making a joke, don't take it seriously, come, sit down and eat together." Don't be restrained, let's be casual. ”

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Biting Jin and the others all fell to the ground with big stones in their hearts, and the secret way was so dangerous, but fortunately, King Qin just played a joke on them and didn't take it seriously.

Li Shimin, who has a chest like the sea and is open-minded, how could he chill the heart of the general in the camp because of a little thing. In peacetime, the military affairs are busy, and it is rare to be idle, and at this time it is just time to get closer to the generals in the battalion. Li Shimin sat on the ground with a golden knife, and he was not polite, he personally reached out to tear the chicken, and praised it while eating. The appearance of gobbling up food is unusual, which is like His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who is dignified on weekdays, but it is more in line with the taste of a strong general in the army such as Cheng Biting Jin.

Li Shimin took off his armor and was still on the side, showing his chest and arms, dignified and uninhibited, and Cheng Biting Jin and the others gradually let go. They are all straightforward, a group of people gather together, chatting while eating, talking about the world, heroic and unique.

After Li Shimin finished eating a chicken called Hua Chicken, he sighed, "It's a pity that alcohol is not allowed in the army, this rule is still not easy to break." Let's replace wine with soup! Drink to win! With that, he lifted a bowl full of chicken broth and drank it in one gulp.

Several generals also held the soup bowl with both hands and said in unison, "Drink to win!" "Do it to the end.

Li Shimin finished drinking the chicken soup, wiped his mouth, and asked, "You lit a fire in the camp before, why didn't you see the smoke?" If I hadn't smelled the food, I would have been kept in the dark. ”

Qin Qiong smiled and replied, "It was Mingyu who came up with something called a smokeless stove, and the effect is indeed very good." ”

"Oh?" Li Shimin pointed to the smokeless stove next to him and asked Mingyu, "But is this thing?" How can there be no smoke? ”

Li Mingyu told Li Shimin about the principle of smokeless stoves, and Li Shimin suddenly realized that he smiled and said, "You kid, how do you have this brain?" So many fancy ideas. ”

Mingyu didn't dare to tell the truth, and continued to make up nonsense, "This is also what I discovered by accident when I dug pits and mud with children in the village before. ”

Li Shimin nodded and praised, "Sure enough, the observation is subtle." This smokeless stove, surprise attacks and ambushes are all useful, and you will be credited first. ”

"The second uncle should not forget when the time comes, there is still the previous method of military training, and I will be rewarded as a big official when the time comes." Mingyu replied with a grin.

"At a young age, he is still an official fan, haha" Li Shimin was amused by him. Just as he was about to laugh a few more words, suddenly the eldest grandson Wuji hurried in and whispered a few words in a low voice next to Li Shimin's ear.

After listening to this, Li Shimin asked, "Is the news true?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded vigorously and said, "Accurate, undoubtedly!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Li Shimin looked up to the sky and laughed, "In this way, the day of Dou Jiande's demise is not far away!" After that, Cheng Biting Jin and a few people said, "Gentlemen, this is a godsend!" Let's go, come with me to the tent! ”
