Chapter 378: The People's Hearts Are Attached
The words of the Haw Par Musketeer, Zhang Heizi heard it clearly.
Therefore, as soon as the Haw Par Musketeer finished speaking, Zhang Heizi got a pair of eyes and shot out two fine rays of light. With his mouth closed, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva fiercely.
Because, the two things of braised pork and mutton are too far away for them as military households.
A few years ago, when the New Year was good, the family would also buy a few pieces of fat meat during the New Year. However, the fatty meat is first used to fry the lard and then used to make dumplings.
It can be said that I have lived for so many years, and when I went to the battlefield, I ate a meal of braised pork. That kind of taste, for myself, is simply an aftertaste.
As a father, I have only eaten braised pork in the real sense once, not to mention the six children in my family.
Therefore, just as he was swallowing his saliva, the six pairs of eyes of the six children, as if they had been discussed, converged on Zhang Heizi at the same time.
Zhang Heizi, who is also full of yearning for braised pork and mutton, didn't think about it, and affirmed to his family.
"Children, tonight, Daddy, I will definitely let everyone eat red braised pork and mutton."
After speaking, he instructed his two adult sons: "The eldest and second follow me, look for it, see if there are any military households we know around, and strive to gather together to form a group...... There are three young people in our family, and my dad and I have also fought, so if I am lucky, I may be able to be the leader of a small team......"
In less than half an hour, ten military households, including the Zhang family, gathered together.
After the election of sixty or seventy people, it has prestige. There is also a strong Zhang Heizi. It was no surprise that he became the leader of this group.
I saw the military families gathered around me. Zhang Heizi's face directly showed a heartfelt smile.
Because, after the group is formed, it means that their braised pork at night has been settled.
After reporting the situation of his group to the Haw Par Army soldiers who had been standing around. The soldier took out a bronze medal representing the team leader directly from his waist and said to Zhang Heizi.
"At this time, the bronze medal representing the team leader is also the brand for your dinner tonight. With this brand, you can eat braised pork at night and then on the way to Shaanxi. You can receive enough rations according to the number of people....you must collect it, even if you lose your life, you can't lose this bronze medal..."
After Zhang Heizi put away the bronze medal like a baby, under the guidance of the Haw Par Musketeer, he led the team members to the place to eat.
Different from the big bowl for one person at noon, the Haw Par Army at this time directly sent a black pottery pot with a huge face to each of them.
When they lined up to the cauldron where the braised pork was boiling, the Haw Par Musketeers, who were standing next to the cauldron, first filled the clay pot they held in their hands with a large spoonful of rice... This big spoon of rice weighs at least a pound.
After smelling the aroma of rice emitted by the rice in the pot. These immigrants did not stop, but quickened their pace and walked towards the cauldron where braised pork and mutton were boiling.
The Haw Par Musketeers guarding next to the braised pork cauldron didn't even glance at the braised pork that they had become accustomed to in the cauldron. Directly with the big spoon in his hand, he dug a spoonful of braised pork and poured it into a black clay pot...
Immediately afterwards, a large spoonful of mutton was also put into a black clay pot....
The black clay pot that seems to be very large, after three spoons of things in a row, the mutton that was finally piled up in the clay pot has been piled up, exuding a very tempting fragrance.
Looking at the delicacies that can't be eaten during the New Year, the eyes of many immigrants can't help but sweat beads of beans.
Then, pick up the rice bowl and start to take small bites to eliminate the delicious food in the rice bowl. Aftertaste while eating.
As for those children, in the face of braised pork that they have never eaten, braised mutton...... It's like a hungry wolf with red eyes, from the moment he picks up the rice bowl, he begins to wipe it out in a big gulp.......
At this time, a disabled soldier of the former Haw Par Army, who had been appointed as the village head, raised his fist at the very good time and shouted loudly at the immigrants who were sitting around and munching on food.
"Folks... Do you know who gave you this meal today..."
"It was given to you by Wei Dashuai, the governor of Shanxi and the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Army. Not only this meal, but also your rations will be distributed to you for two days, a pitiful amount of food tax...... It's all given to you by Wei Dashuai. “
"So, when you eat braised pork, you must think about Wei Dashuai... Because, without Wei Dashuai, there would be no you today. Without Wei Dashuai, you may not be able to eat a meal of braised pork until you die..."
"Shout with me... Long live the Haw Par Army....Long live Wei Dashuai..."
For ordinary people, they don't care if they shout slogans like this or not.
As the village chief just said, what he ate was given by Wei Dashuai, and Wei Dashuai was his benefactor.
Since he is a life-saver, he has reborn his parents, and there is nothing to shout long live.
Therefore, as soon as the village chief's words were finished, a deafening shout sounded in the barracks.
"Long live the Haw Par Army... Long live Wei Dashuai..."
In the midst of this cheering, more than 12,000 immigrants, without exception, all enjoyed the most sumptuous dinner in their lives. Then, under the escort of the Haw Par Army, I slept soundly with a full stomach.
The next day, with the piercing sound of gongs, more than 10,000 immigrants all woke up from their sleep in good spirits.
Subsequently, the leaders of each group gathered around the village chief.
After glancing at the ten team leaders around him who were full of longing for the future, although he was missing an arm on the battlefield, the village chief, who still had a military temperament, said bluntly.
"We have called everyone so early to tell us that in order to make room for the upcoming second batch of immigrants, we must leave the barracks before noon and rush in the direction of Shaanxi."
"In the next hurry, there will no longer be the Haw Par Army to escort us, and all the qiē will have to rely on ourselves...."
In order to let everyone rush to Shaanxi, Wei Dashuai decided to distribute one pound of food to all adults in the immigrants every day, and half a pound of food to each child and the elderly. In small groups, each group is given three large iron pots for cooking...."
"And the ten guards selected by each of your teams are responsible for protecting everyone's food during the journey in the future."
"As for security, everyone can rest assured....as long as you enter Shanxi, whether it is bandits or officials and soldiers, they will not dare to fight your idea. Therefore, after receiving your own food, you must rush to Shaanxi in the shortest possible time. ”
"You know, the less time you spend on the road, the longer you will spend cultivating the fields. Before next year's spring ploughing, there will be more land that can be allocated. (To be continued......)
