Chapter 443: Life-Saving Food (12)

"Comfortable." Cheng Feng opened his mouth and burped, and the cool air in his stomach came up, and he was very comfortable.

"It's so comfortable, there's ice cubes in the soup?"

"Saltpeter ice, make a big piece and throw it directly into the pot, it can be used for more than an hour."

Qi Ke was still holding her water bowl, although she was also hot and thirsty, she had to drink it slowly.

"With so many people working today, these three pots of soup can be drunk in less than an hour, and after drinking, new ones will be sent up to ensure that they are enough."

Bai Qing nodded slightly, raised his eyes and saw that his soldiers had temporarily put aside their farm work to eat, hurriedly handed over the bowl and made himself a bowl of mung bean soup, took a spoon and squatted while eating slowly, with the previous sour plum soup as the base, this bowl of mung bean soup did not need to be poured into the stomach in such a hurry.

Cheng Feng did the same, he also played a bowl of mung bean soup and squatted aside, Qi Ke did not add any more salt and sugar water in his hand after drinking, and stood under the shade of the tree with Zhaolin to enjoy the shade and watch the maids busy.

As Qi Ke arranged, the inn is constantly supplied with cold soup and water, after a round of drinking, the pots and pans are cleaned up and sent to the bottom of the mountain, and it will not take long for new ones to be sent again, ensuring that everyone in the field stops anytime and anywhere to eat and drink, but the weather is spicy, and such a large amount of drinks are poured down, and they all go away with sweat.

Lunch was still served by the inn, and each person had a hot small crockpot, which was made of all kinds of fried diced vegetables and diced meat cooked with rice, and a large pot of hot and sour soup.

Qi Ke's lunch is also with everyone, in the same way, Bai Qing and Cheng Feng don't have to choose, what to eat, not to mention that this crockpot salty rice is still delicious, with plenty of oil and salt.

After lunch, the soldiers each found a shady place to take a lunch break, avoiding the hottest time at noon, and in the afternoon they would continue to work until it was dark, Qi Ke and Bai Qing Chengfeng would no longer continue to guard, they were all busy people, and they didn't have that time to stay in the field for several days in order to supervise other people's work, and the maids who delivered sweet soup looked the same here.

So as soon as lunch was over, the three of them went down the mountain, and they walked together with Zhaolin, where was Qi Ke and where she was.

Back in the village, the villagers excitedly surrounded them and talked about the harvest of pig digging roots and crying Lei Ershu and other original villagers, who had been starving for so many years, and knew for the first time that pig digging roots could be planted, and the yield of planting was so large, they were all old farmers, and the warehouse was full of grain, who could not calculate how much the output was.

The three of them cheered up and exchanged pleasantries with the village chief and the villagers for a while, and then dispersed the crowd and went back to their respective houses for a lunch break.

Qi Ke got up from his lunch break and was preparing for the demonstration test of firing the cannon barrel with the explosive package, but it couldn't be done today, Bai Qing and Cheng Feng were busy arranging manpower to prepare for the transportation of food for disaster relief, in addition to sending someone to the front station to inform, the team escorting all the way here should also count the number of people, and at the same time report to General Bai Da, so that the whole army knows about this happy event.

There are more than 50 acres of fields on the mountain where pigs are planted, even if the average yield is 8,000 catties, there are more than 400,000 catties, whether it is transported by ship or car, it is not a trivial matter, Bai Qing and Chengfeng are busy and dizzy, but their faces are smiling.

After a tiring day, the soldiers came back from the mountain, and the evening breeze brought their laughter, and their words were full of joy for the harvest of pigs.

The soldiers' dinner was directly arranged to be eaten at the inn, and it was the same as noon, there were dishes with vegetables, meat, staple food, and soup to eat, everyone ate to their heart's content, burped and put down the dishes and chopsticks, and touched their stomachs to go back to the military post to rest.
