Chapter 408: The sun is setting

Where the sun is about to set, a touch of red glow reflects the horizon.

Hundreds of boats were smoking, and the sound of stir-fried vegetables was incessant, and the soldiers who had long been accustomed to eating on the ship couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva.

It is better to hear than to see, except for the 1,000 people in Jili Prefecture and the guards who followed Zhang Xiaobao and the others, the other soldiers all had a more direct understanding of the skills of Zhang and Wang's families.

It is said that it is a meal in the barracks, but after eating it in your mouth, you will find that the food tastes more fragrant than that made by some good restaurants in your own state capital.

It's worthy of opening the wine and hugging, and the chef who follows the army is not ordinary, if you can continue to follow after you get to the place, it's good if you're afraid of war, so you can only bring fried noodles or something to make yourself.

The kitchen is usually not forbidden to people to enter, and it is cleaned up, and there is no fear that anyone will find rats and cockroaches, and the same is true today.

Some soldiers like to walk around when they are idle and bored, and the most common place is naturally the kitchen, and if you are happy to meet the master inside, you may be able to steal something to eat.

Three dishes fried out, two vegetables and one meat, and a big pot of soup was boiled, today's staple food is cake, hot noodles, very thin, very large, look at the dishes are all shredded to know that tonight's dinner should eat burritos.

"Master Bai, are you busy?" A soldier scurried to the door of the kitchen, stepped in with one foot outstretched, raised his neck to look at the busy people over there, and asked casually.

"Not busy, not busy, give, try this." The cook who worked inside had finished frying the dishes, and what he still needed to do was to boil the soup, and let the dishes be brought outside first, and then the meal would be served as soon as the soup was ready.

When preparing the ingredients for the soup, Master Bai sent a shrimp to the soldier's mouth, and the soldier hurriedly opened his mouth, chewed vigorously, stretched out his thumb and praised: "It's delicious, the shrimp made by Master Bai is delicious, there is still a soup left, and I will enjoy it again tonight, Master Bai, I really don't want to eat the dishes you cooked, what if I can't eat it again in the future?" ”

"Your mouth, you can't stop eating, it's fast, just wait for a while for the soup, and you can lift it over with a flip." Master Bai smiled, knowing that what others said was untrue, he was also happy, who was not happy to be praised.

Said that the soup was good, loaded a few large buckets, let the soldiers on the ship carry out, the soldiers who carried it made the kitchen masters feel a little strange, which soldier used to be fixed to carry, today it was changed, asked, said that it will continue to be changed in the future, can not always let some people work more.

Learn from Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan when they led the troops, in line with the weal and woe with the soldiers, the generals of the 40,000 soldiers also ate the same meals and were not picky eaters.

In fact, there is no excuse to be picky, and the meals cooked by Zhang Wang's two chefs still need to be picky?

The generals' food was the first to be delivered to the place, but suddenly looked at the bowl of soup in front of him, took two deep breaths, gritted his teeth vigorously, and broke it into his stomach, and did not touch anything else, otherwise it would be more troublesome for a while.

Just when the generals drank the bowl of soup and didn't eat anything else, the cooks on each boat suddenly started again, and Master Bai, who had just fed the soldiers shrimp, instructed the little apprentice next to him: "Go and tell the soldiers, don't drink the soup, it's wrong, it's a seafood soup today, the soup just made is wrong, go quickly." ”

Where did the little apprentice know about the fight behind him, and hurriedly ran out and shouted to the soldiers who were about to eat.

As soon as some soldiers heard that there was a better seafood soup, they immediately stopped what they were doing, waited happily, and only rolled the cakes one by one, ready to eat them for a while.

Only a small part of the soldiers' faces changed, and a very small part was so small that they were only responsible for carrying the food.

"What soup is different, even if the swill poured by the two chefs of Zhang and Wang's family is better than the signature dishes made by ordinary small shops, why bother to break the bank, everyone drinks, just drink this." A man in charge of carrying the meal picked up a spoon and began to scoop the soup into someone else's bowl.

The person in charge of reporting the news was anxious, "I can't drink it, the master said that the material was misplaced, and it doesn't matter if there is something wrong with it." ”

The person who was going to drink the soup began to hesitate, and the person who reported the letter said again: "Boil the soup quickly, it will be good immediately, wait a minute, there are a lot of prawns in the soup, and after drinking the current soup for a while, you can drink other soups, and you don't care if you have pimples on your body." ”

When the messenger spoke, everyone stopped, and even the person who carried the thing did not continue to insist, looked at the soup in front of him, sighed, and learned the way of others.

The news quickly spread to Ke Tuyu's ears, and he didn't feel anything when he heard that the soup had changed, and when the person in charge of the work came to talk about his plan, Ke Tu suddenly understood.

"It's broken, but someone found out? Why not put it in the dish? "But suddenly ask about the person who is doing things.

"General, the little one hasn't seen anyone else, if anyone finds out, won't they reveal it? I also want to put the small ones in the dish, but the croton powder is put in the dish, it is too obvious, and if it is unevenly stirred, you can find it at a glance, and then eat it, the taste is even different, and it is only safe when you put it in the soup. ”

The clerk immediately explained that croton flour is not colorless and odorless.

"Have you drunk?" But suddenly asked again.

"If you drink it, won't the little one be suspected if you don't drink it? Drink a lot, general, you also drink? After the person who did the work replied with a question, his face changed, and he didn't know if it was Crotton's reaction so fast or a psychological effect, but after speaking, his hand covered his stomach, and he made a bitter face, "General, the little one will go out first." ”

"Go together, go together." But Sudden's face is not good-looking.

When the two of them hurriedly walked towards a certain place, they suddenly seemed to be very unwilling, "Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, have they eaten?" ”

"General, you forgot, they don't eat the same food as us, they eat well, and they don't need our people to help carry the bucket, General, the little one is one step ahead."

The person who did the work gritted his teeth and finally didn't care about the identity of the other party's general, and his feet sped up.

Zhang Xiaobao, who was also eating, knocked out the bone marrow in the bones for his younger brothers and sisters, put one in a plate for one person, saw that his younger brothers and sisters were eating happily, and said with a smile: "Eat well, if you eat strong, you will not be easy to get sick." ”

"What about a good meal? Going to get sick? Xiaobei, who likes to eat bone marrow the most, looked at the few bones left on the plate in front of his brother, and then looked at the largest bone marrow in his plate, opened his small mouth and bit a little, and said with two clicks.

"That's right, if you don't eat well, you will get sick, for example, if you don't eat well, he will definitely get sick when the time comes." Zhang Xiaobao suddenly remembered what happened tonight and was very happy.

Xiaobei first looked at his brother suspiciously, grabbed the chopsticks with one hand and clamped a bone, and the other hand held the wrist of this hand, otherwise he couldn't bear the weight of the bone, nodded and said: "Brother said that he was sick, he will definitely be sick, I think the bone marrow in this bone is better than the one in my plate, help me take it out and I compare." ”

Xiao Yuan, who also loves to eat bone marrow, looked at Xiaobei's movements, and pretended to say disdainfully: "It's really a traitor, what kind of taste, you just say that the remaining bones are not enough for one person, and it will be given to you." ”

"I didn't think so, with the heart of a villain, in the belly of a gentleman, since you reminded me, I will do as you say, brother, give me the marrow of another bone."

Xiaobei's face was aggrieved, as if others had misunderstood her.

A few people were eating noisily, but suddenly the general finally sent someone to find Zhang Xiaobao.

asked Zhang Xiaobao to send a few doctors over to take a look, but I don't know if it was cold or unaccustomed to the water and soil, and my stomach was broken.

"It would be nice if they could record it, let the soldiers know about their plans, and see how they continue to lead the troops." Wang Juan said regretfully.

"Yes, now even if you find someone to prove it, but they don't have to expect to bring any more troops, it is estimated that they are not adapted, and they need to be treated for a long time, what do you think of four months? After all, our doctors are not gods, and their means are limited. ”

Zhang Xiaobao also sighed.

So the fate of a certain part of the people was determined in this way, the doctor went to check the pulse, and then prescribed medicine, and continued to have diarrhea after drinking the medicine, and then checked the pulse, and then drank the medicine, but it was just not to let people die.

As the night passed like this, some of the soldiers talked about the seafood soup of the previous night, and some did not dare to think about it, and after hearing that the generals' stomachs were all broken, they sighed and sighed.

A day later, but suddenly it was not well, a trace of salallow yellow appeared in his ruddy face, and the circles around his eyes were obviously dark.

"General Ketu, I wonder if you're feeling better? I always felt that it was not that I was not accustomed to the soil, so I went back and found a few better doctors to come and show the general, I think it was the soup thing, the others didn't have bad stomachs, it was they who didn't drink the soup, and I will investigate it in detail. ”

Zhang Xiaobao took two fruits, found the cabin where he could stay suddenly, and said to him.

looked at Zhang Xiaobao's eyes, but suddenly there was a feeling that Zhang Xiaobao knew about this matter, and he arranged it, otherwise why was it so coincidental, he usually didn't change the soup, but changed it yesterday? And it's just the right time to change.

I drank it myself, the soup was definitely not misplaced, it tasted good, and all the generals who had diarrhea said that they were not suitable for water and soil after seeing it by different doctors, which is too coincidental, right?

After thinking about it carefully, I didn't dare to let Zhang Xiaobao check it after all, if I wanted to check it, as long as I checked all links, I believe that some people would accidentally say it.

So he hurriedly persuaded: "Zhang Tingshi doesn't have to work hard, as long as the soldiers are fine, I thought it was also unsuitable, I still know my body better, it's not like I ate wrong, it's not like, eh, Zhang Tingshi wait, I'll go back, eh, it's uncomfortable." ”

But suddenly speaking, he didn't care whether it was rude for Zhang Xiaobao not to accompany him here, holding his stomach, he staggered and trotted outside, the sun shone on his forehead, and the sweat on it could be clearly seen.

Zhang Xiaobao fiddled with the tea bowl on the table and said to the people standing next to him: "Your general is really pitiful. ”

The man nodded in agreement, but he didn't say anything, he also found that Zhang Xiaobao didn't really come here to visit, otherwise would you still be able to take pears? The big white pear knows that there is a lot of water in it at a glance, and it is cold, who dares to eat it with diarrhea?

"Oops, oops...... Help, help me. After a while, Ke Yu suddenly came back, his steps staggered more and more, holding the door frame with one hand, and holding the clothes on his body tightly with the other, his voice trembling.

Zhang Xiaobao kindly stood up, supported Ke Tuyu, placed him on the couch, and asked with concern: "General Ke Tu, why don't you go back to the Songmo Governor's Mansion first, and change someone here, otherwise how to command?" Wang Senjun recently wanted to find an opportunity to train to fight together, and the general was no longer there, so I don't know if Wang Senjun could send it well. ”

"Training? How to practice? But he suddenly forgot the pain in his stomach and asked uncertainly.

"To fight, you have to listen to one person's orders, otherwise it will be chaotic, Wang joined the army originally wanted General Ketu to be the biggest general, and everyone else listened to General Ketu, but the general is like now, if he is still sick to take care of things, it is estimated that it will be better, right?"

Zhang Xiaobao patiently explained.

It's not stupid, but you can suddenly understand, this is to seize power, although you are not afraid of taking away real power, it can be estimated that the command power during this period of time will be gone from today.

For a moment, he suddenly regretted it, he suddenly found that things were not as simple as he thought, he shouldn't have wanted chin beans in the first place, and finally let the family find an opportunity, right?

"Zhang Tingshi, this matter is not urgent, General Ming *** will be able to get better, how about discussing it then? Yes, tomorrow. But he suddenly didn't want to let go of power, and said to Zhang Xiaobao with a firm gaze.

Zhang Xiaobao encouraged: "It's okay, I wish General Ketu a speedy recovery, I believe the general can do it." ”
