Instead of the dawn, torches shone in the wilderness on the southern outskirts of the Daimyo's house. More than 30,000 longing river workers spontaneously got up from the broken mats under them without being urged by anyone, and packed the pitiful simple bags around them.

Waking up from a sweet dream, many of the afterlife blink and look around, hoping to run into another good luck. It's a pity that the expected smoke did not rise, which made them a little disappointed, and at the same time, they couldn't help but miss yesterday's most delicious and fragrant meal in their lives.

"Little Four, what do you care about? Didn't you say you were going to the city to eat? Go pack up, don't make everyone wait for you, ah! Seeing that his nephew looked greedy, a middle-aged man patted his head with pity and instructed.

"Second uncle, after sleeping all night, my stomach is screaming again!" Then the future life said.

"Your dad is right, you kid is a foodie! Obviously, you ate the most yesterday, and the big guys haven't shouted hungry today, why are you hungry again? The second uncle said helplessly. This nephew of his own is too good to eat, and yesterday he kept adding food back and forth, making himself a family embarrassed to add food again.

"It's not like I haven't eaten meat! I was too full in the front, and when the kings brought the meat in the back, I couldn't eat anything! Xiao Si scratched his head and asked with some expectation, "Uncle, you said that we went back to the city this time, can we still eat such a banquet?" ”

"Who knows?" The second uncle sighed, looked at his nephew and said, "Do you know how much food our group ate yesterday?" It's five or six hundred stone of grain! That's not counting the hundreds of pounds of meat that came up later! That's how we eat. Gold and silver mountains are also empty for others! I estimate that when I enter the city, I can deal with three or four points of fullness, and I just hope that these kings can send us food, thank God! ”

"What!? Five or six hundred stones? Obediently, how many acres of land will be harvested! Xiao Si was dumbfounded and said, "This meal, didn't you eat a small landlord?" As for the old Liu family at the entrance of our village, his family doesn't have such food! ”

"Isn't that how? Just the food you and I ate yesterday is enough for our family to eat for a few days! If only I could bring it back to your aunt and sister-in-law. Still not happy for half a month? What a waste! "Speaking of which. The already deep wrinkles on the second uncle's face became more layered, and it could be seen that he felt sorry from the bottom of his heart.

This emotion on his body unconsciously infected the nephew around him, and Xiao Si also regretted it a little: "I really shouldn't have eaten so much." If only I could bring some back to my mother. So that she can also eat two full meals! ”

"Say no more. Hurry up and pack up your things, if the kings are really like the rumors, they can give us food. Where do you care about this bit of chewing grain in our mouths? Seeing that his nephew was a little sad, the uncle sighed and stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

Xiao Si nodded as if he didn't understand, turned around to leave, and suddenly stopped and said, "Uncle, you have knowledge in our village, these kings won't have any ill intentions towards us?" ”

The second uncle was stunned when he saw it, but he didn't expect this kid to not only be tall, but also quite long-hearted. In fact, he didn't think about this question, but if the king on Liangshan wanted to harm these poor people who had nothing to do and were so poor that they wanted to? Besides, they don't need to use knives and guns, they just watch their own people don't care, and they starve to death of this battalion.

In the end, the kid in front of him is his own nephew, I saw that the second uncle was very patient, and told him his analysis, this later life listened and listened, nodded and responded from time to time, and finally dispelled his worries and said: "Then we have to sell our strength, and if we eat other people's food, we should work hard for others for a few days!" It is...... It is...... The food promised to us in the last days will be halved, and we will admit it! ”

It can be heard that he is not very old in this later life, but he has suffered a lot. Despite this, I can still rely on the naked heart in my chest to look forward to a dark future.

The second uncle felt sour, patted the child's shoulder, stepped forward with him, and silently packed his bags.

Qiu Xiancheng, who had not slept all night, shook his slightly hairy head, trying to make himself more sober, but unfortunately the night's deep thinking made him exhausted.

At this time, I suddenly saw a few elderly river workers leaning over and said in a low voice: "Qiu Xianggong, you are an official in the end, don't go with us, if the heroes on Liangshan treat you as a corrupt official, then you will be wronged!" ”

"Thank you for your kindness, I'm going to this famous mansion! Don't worry about me, go pack up, try to do as they tell you along the way, and don't anger them! Qiu Xiancheng bowed to everyone.

Seeing that this minister's heart was like an iron stone, several river workers were not easy to persuade again, but they secretly made up their minds in their hearts that if there was such a time, they would rather not have food, but also want these kings to be gracious.

……

"It smells so good! Just hearing this, I dare to conclude that these people must be better than our mate's craftsmanship! Chen Da looked at Shi Jin with a smile and smiled.

"Let's stand here, and you can smell it?" Shi Jin said incredulously. At this time, the two of them were standing on the castle tower at the south gate of the Daimyo's Mansion, looking into the distance. At this time, the sky was gray and white, and the two of them were waiting for Tang Bin to come to meet with the river workers.

"It's so fragrant, brother, can't you smell it?" Chen Daleng said, suddenly patted his head and said: "I forgot, before you went up the mountain, you wanted to find Wang Jiaotou, but you walked a lot of places, and you must have eaten a lot of good things." Where is it like me, I followed Brother Zhu Wu up the mountain in a daze, and there were a lot of things in my stomach later, but I haven't tried that taste! ”

"I think our room just lacks such a flavor!" Chen Da added unwillingly after that.

"Let me tell you, this is Brother Song Wan's absence here, he wants to be here, you say so, he has to fight with you!" Shi Jin said with a smile: "You don't hear that some time ago, when he found someone in the cottage, he couldn't wait to pull you to break a few words, not because Xiao Qi's wife always said that the things he made in the house had no taste!" ”

"In front of him, I won't touch this moldy head, hahaha!" Chen Da smiled and invited him again: "Tanma hasn't come back yet, it will take at least half an hour, let's ask the brothers to eat first, so as not to let the good things cool, wouldn't it be ruined!" ”

Shi Jin thought for a while and said, "It's okay, let's not start a gang ourselves, and let our brothers taste the craftsmanship of this famous chef!" ”

After receiving Tang Bin's news this time, Wang Lun invited two military advisors to discuss, since this batch of river workers is of great significance to the cottage, the three of them are all in favor of simply making a big scene, but I am afraid that the effect will be much better. Maybe when the participants have gray hair in the future, they will be able to reminisce proudly with the children and grandchildren on the small bench.

This is inconvenient, and Lu Junyi, a local celebrity, came forward and invited nearly 1,000 chefs from hundreds of best restaurants in the Daimyo Mansion to the south gate overnight, and opened this extremely rare open-air flowing water banquet.

Now the most effective thing to talk in the city is Liangshan Wang Lun, and he came here this time to rescue Lu Junyi, so he even drove away the husband who stayed behind, at this time the merchants got Lu Junyi's post, which restaurant who dares not to sell face? What's more, the people of Liangshan are very disciplined, and the invitation is not in vain, whether it is the ingredients or the chef's commission, there are enough scales of grain to offset the account, the trade is fair, and the children are not bullied.

At this time, Chen Da saw that Shi Jin agreed, and his heart was overjoyed, and he loudly beckoned the brothers to take turns to eat. After Chen Da finished shouting, he was about to go down to the city tower, but when he saw Shi Jin standing still, Chen Da wondered, "Why didn't my brother go downstairs?" ”

"When the expedition is out, the soldiers have not drunk, and they have not drunk first. If the soldiers have not eaten, they will not eat first! Shi Jin turned around.

"Is there such a one? What is written on the training code!? Seeing this, Chen Da hurriedly took down the booklet he was carrying and flipped through it. After more than half a year of extremely painful literacy career, although I can not say that I can recognize all the words on this booklet, at least one fifth of them is no problem.

"It's not written like that on the code, but Master told me!" Shi Jin replied.

"Sect Leader Wang?" Chen Da was stunned and said, "If you didn't say it earlier, I was so strong!" That's it, you don't eat it, I'll eat a hair! ”

Shi Jin looked at Chen Da and smiled, Chen Da shook his head, sniffed the aroma wafting into his nostrils, and asked, "Why does my brother value these river workers so much?" ”

"This time I broke the Daimyo's Mansion, according to my brother's words, I saw a lot of shortcomings in the process. This time, fortunately, there are not many garrisons in the Daimyo's Mansion, otherwise we would have been able to defend this city even if we had conquered it! For example, our battalion of brothers according to the standard of 1,000 people, it is really less, our battalion is much better than other battalions, it is not much attrition, but guarding this south city gate, I really have no bottom in my heart, if it is lined up, the south of the city wall, one person has to guard more than ten zhang of land, if there is really a large army to attack the city, this battle really does not know how to fight! Shi Jin sighed and continued:

"My brother means to expand our battalions, but where do the people come from? We have six battalions of the infantry army, six battalions of the horse army, as well as the rock battalion and the personal guard battalion, if they are all expanded to 2,000 people, it will be more than 10,000 people. ”

Chen Dajian said and sighed: "No wonder my brother heard Tang Bin say that there are more than 30,000 river workers, and his eyes are shining!" It turned out to be because of this consideration! In fact, our cottage is good, more than 40,000 soldiers, looking around, which mountain in the Great Song Dynasty can catch up with us? ”

"What does it mean to compare it to other mountains? Have you ever seen a cottage that dares to fight and can take down the Daimyo's Mansion? Shi Jin shook his head and said, "Not long ago, Brother Zhu Wu once told me in a casual chat that he had wasted too much time in the past and didn't come to Liangshan earlier. (To be continued......)
