Xiao Wenkui took his four sons on horseback riding, four daughters-in-law and Xiao Wenkui's most favored concubine sat in two carriages, and a few ox carts carried I don't know what kind of utensils, seven or eight guards and five or six maids from the house accompanied them, and the team of ten or twenty people was not conspicuous in this season.
After Xiao Ruxun accompanied Yang Caiyun at home for two days, he felt that it was not a matter for Yang Caiyun to stay at home all the time, now that the spring is bright and the air is fresh, it is a good time to go out, so he discussed with Xiao Wenkui, and the whole family went out to play together, Xiao Wenkui slapped his palms - okay!
But simply stepping into the green, Daddy Xiao is not satisfied, he made up a few good bows in his collection, brought some guys, and told his sons - there is a hunting holy place in the western suburbs of the capital, many generals like to hunt and play there, we can't play with the literati together, if we go to the eastern suburbs, all the literati, the talented and beautiful people of Yishui look sour and uncomfortable.
In order to avoid conflicts with talented and beautiful people, the generals still dragged their families to the hunting grounds in the western suburbs, many people like to hunt there, and even took the cook directly to the past, and directly called the cook to do it while playing game, and the family ate together, which was very emotional.
Now is the season of spring flowers, but also the mountains and forests are full of hares, pheasants and wild boars, these animals have also passed a winter, it is the time to come out to forage for food and fatten themselves, the meat is fragrant, Xiao Wenkui has been with some good friends a few times before, and then there are many things and I have not come, now the family is rare to get together, everyone has to have a good time.
Xiao Ruxun felt very good when he heard it, and the game was also very suitable for supplementing nutrition for the current Yang Caiyun, Yang Caiyun was pregnant, and the child in her belly needed a lot of nutrition, so Xiao Ruxun also planned to show the barbecue skills practiced in North Korea to his family to try it, at that time on the battlefield in North Korea, every time there was meat to eat, all the generals were eager to eat Xiao Ruxun's craftsmanship, not only for glory, but also because the meat roasted by Xiao Ruxun was great, and it was very delicious on the outside and tender on the inside.
At this time, the city of Beijing has not been hundreds of years later that pervades the haze in the sky and the sandstorm that may come at any time, surrounded by a green mountains and green water, the scenery in some places is no less than the south of the Yangtze River, it is the favorite place of the literati, the deep mountains and old forests left for the military generals to hunt are not necessarily bad, surrounded by a deep mountain, surrounded by a circle of emerald green grassland, looking at the green is very gratifying, there is a small river not far away, the river water is crystal clear.
The Xiao family chose a place and began to set up camp, put everything away and began to prepare, Xiao Wenkui couldn't wait to go hunting, show his skills, the second and third children were also eager to try, Xiao Ruxun planned to stay and watch Yang Caiyun, and then prepare the things needed for the picnic, Xiao Rulan saw that Xiao Ruxun was not going, and felt that as a big brother, she would not go, and stayed here to help.
Xiao Wenkui took Xiao Ruzhi and Xiao Ruhui and three or four family members to rush into the deep mountains and old forests to hunt, Xiao Ruxun and Xiao Rulan took the rest of the family members and maids and began to collect things.
moved out all the kitchen utensils needed to make barbecue, and Xiao Rulan and a group of female relatives were dumbfounded.
"Fourth, when did you learn to cook?"
Xiao Rulan watched Xiao Ruxun sharpen the kitchen knife, looking confused.
"I used to have no effort at home in Ningxia, and then when I arrived on the battlefield in Korea, the food cooked by those rough old men was really a little unappetizing, and when I was fighting a war, I barely ate to cope with my stomach, and when I was going to eat after winning the battle, it was still that taste, it was really disappointing, and there were soldiers in all parts of the army, and everyone couldn't eat together, so it was inevitable that there would be complaints in their hearts.
I thought, it's okay to have free time, marching and fighting is a deadly job, and the soldiers must always eat and drink well, otherwise the soldiers will complain, and it will not be good if they do not exert their strength and do not listen to the orders of my chief general when they fight, so I took the firehead army to the various military camps to ask them about their tastes, and then according to these tastes, every time the army won a battle, I made them something to eat according to their tastes.
Usually eat normal war meals, but give them more food and taste of hometown things, the soldiers can be grateful to you, give you service, in the process, I followed the old fireheads of the Huotou Army to learn a lot of things, but also improved the war rice, made a big oil cake, it tastes fragrant and crispy, not only the northern soldiers like, some southern soldiers also like, Wu Zongbing stayed in the Wa country and asked me for a way to make flatbread, saying that it is delicious, not expensive, and convenient. ā
Xiao Ruxun sharpened the kitchen knife and explained with a smile.
Xiao Rulan did it, and next to Xiao Ruxun, she also picked up a kitchen knife and sharpened it.
"This is unusual, since the establishment of the Ming army, eating is the same, eating dry rice when the year is good, drinking porridge when the year is bad, and being able to eat enough earlier, and then it changed, some of the people who lost their conscience also gave the soldiers to eat grass roots and bark and wild vegetable porridge, hungry for a full meal, as for the next meal, some salt vegetables and pickled vegetables are the best.
I also heard that some ill-intentioned soldiers were given salt water bibimbap, and the soldiers were given a whole face and yellow muscles, when the southeast was peaceful, some troops either couldn't fight, or they were forced to starve, and the officers of those guards directly deducted grain and sold money, do you say that the southeast can not cross? ā
Xiao Ruxun said with a smile: "So the people take food as the sky, and the army is also based on food, the so-called three armies have not moved the grain and grass first, without grain and grass, the army cannot fight at all, let alone say anything about victory, half of the military expenses of the entire Korean army are used to ensure that the soldiers are well fed and drunk, so I dare not say that the troops I brought out are the most capable of fighting in the Ming Dynasty, but I can at least say that this army is the best one to eat." ā
"Hahahaha!"
Xiao Rulan laughed out loud by Xiao Ruxun, Xiao Ruxun sharpened the kitchen knife, and began to beckon the soldiers to wash the rice, a whole jar of white rice for the two guards to wash by the river, and the other two guards to chop firewood, Xiao Ruxun beckoned Xiao Rulan to carry the cauldron of boiling broth together, and then hung it up with a stand.
"Fourth, do you use such a big pot? I don't think we need that much broth and rice, do we? Their women's families eat very little, so even a few of us old men won't eat a jar of food, right? ā
Xiao Rulan looked at the big vat and expressed her bewilderment.
