The arrival of Qin Xiang made these soldiers who had been suffering for months finally be able to have a good year.

Early in the morning, Han Yunxiao took people up the mountain to hunt.

Not to mention the food, there must be some meat to reward the soldiers for the New Year.

Xiaoyu carried a wooden basin, hurriedly ran through the yard, saw Qin Xiang, and hurriedly asked: "Dongjia, are you awake?" There's porridge hot on the stove, do you want to bring it to you? ”

Qin Xiang wasn't very hungry, but he also nodded, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I said I wanted to steam steamed buns, but there were not enough people, so I thought about helping."

Qin Xiang's skills in making pasta are not bad, but only fermented pasta is not good. With the previous compressed biscuits, Qin Xiang thought of a convenient and quick food, that is, instant noodles.

Making instant noodles is much simpler than somen noodles, as long as the flour is made into fine noodles, steamed in a pot and then fried and set. However, Gan Cheng lacked everything, and instant noodles were fragile, so she didn't make this.

Han Yunxiao, Xu Jia and the others went out all day, and they didn't come back until dark.

Qin Xiang also wiped his hands and came out of the yard, and when he saw the prey piled on the cart, he also gasped.

In addition to pheasants and hares, there were also several large wild boars. Looking at Han Yunxiao and the others, they are also bloody, and they must have spent a lot of money for these wild boars.

Han Yunxiao was about to beckon someone to clean up the wild boar when he saw Qin Xiang and hurriedly wiped his face with his sleeve.

Qin Xiang glanced at him with disgust, took a handkerchief and wiped it for him, "What are you hiding, it's not like you haven't seen it." ”

Han Yunxiao sneered, "It's not that I'm afraid of your dislike." ”

"If I had disliked it, I would have disliked it a long time ago."

It seems that when he lived in the village, he was so handsome and chic. Every time he came down from the mountain, it was strange that the smell on his body could be better.

"Leave all the prey to me, there's still hot food on the stove, hurry up and eat."

Qin Xiang pushed people away with a look of disgust, and found a few more people to help her pick up these prey.

The wild boar can't be wasted, except for the spiky fur, which is all good all around.

For a while, the whole yard was busy.

Everyone has seen pigs killed, but they have never seen such fanfare.

Qin Xiang not only kept the meat, but also didn't lose those miscellaneous pieces. Wild boar chai, and it has never been gelding, and the meat is more fishy. But when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, who dislikes it. Besides, poor families can't eat meat a few times a year, and it's good to have a mouthful of meat, so naturally they don't dislike it.

I took a part of the meat and chopped it into stuffing, and I wanted to make dumplings and buns. Others are cut into pieces and stewed. As for those that go into the water, they are washed and added with various spices, and the taste is also good.

There was also pig blood, she didn't waste it, she poured blood sausage, and made blood tofu.

Go back and get some cabbage, add blood sausage and tofu, it tastes really good.

Xu Jia and the thin man were holding the bowl and eating, glancing at the yard from time to time, shaking their heads and nodding their heads.

"We have more women, and it feels really different. The general married a good woman, I really envy it. ”

The thin man smacked his teeth, and he was also envious, "I want to marry a mother-in-law." When the battle is over, I will find a mother-in-law. ”

"Hehe, I want to too."

The two were thinking about marrying a proper mother-in-law after the battle, Qin Xiang had already asked people to freeze the meat first, and everything would be cooked tomorrow. And those hares and pheasants, peeled and washed cleanly, or stewed, or roasted, the taste is not bad.

Busy together, waiting for Qin Xiang to sleep, it was not early.

Early the next morning, the sound of firecrackers was heard before dawn.

Qin Xiang rolled up the quilt, looked out the window, and sighed that she had come to the first New Year in Xiyan.

The customs of the Chinese New Year today are very different from those of later generations, but they are also very similar. If you want to prepare a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, you also want to worship the ancestors.

Breakfast is very convenient because the meal has to be prepared after the meal.

At this time, there are no other vegetables except some hoarded winter vegetables.

Qin Xiang is not picky about these cabbage radishes, as long as they are cooked well, they are also a delicacy.

It's just that the meal to be prepared today is not a small fight at home, but to be transported to various parts of the city to give these soldiers a Chinese New Year's Eve meal.

Fortunately, she caught the prey yesterday, and with the rice grain she came down from Xijing, it was not too shabby.

Xiaoyu is moving a small pestle to sit in the hall and peel sweet potatoes, in addition to sweet potatoes, there are a lot of potatoes. Some of these parts are cooked as a staple food, and the rest is made into a dish.

When Qin Xiang was busy, everyone could only watch. Guy's cooking techniques have never been seen before, and everyone should be surprised.

During this period, the cooking techniques were very simple, mostly boiling and grilling.

They couldn't learn Qin Xiang's methods, but they still did it.

Large pieces of meat are broken down into smaller pieces, and sweet potatoes and potatoes are also cut to the right size.

Qin Xiang was standing in front of the iron pot, looking through the pieces of meat inside. Later, these will be made into button meat and taken to the soldiers to eat.

"I've never seen any rare dishes." Han Yunxiao looked into the pot and did not hide his greed.

"I didn't have enough materials at home, so I didn't do it."

When Qin Xiang was also checking in the vegetable cellar, he found that in addition to radishes and cabbage, there were actually two baskets of taro. The taro is well preserved, but if you don't eat it, it will rot after a long time. There happened to be a wild boar that was caught, so I planned to make meat and eat it. When the skin is crispy and the meat is rotten, the taste is a must.

In addition to the buckle meat, there are also large pieces of roast meat, and pheasants stewed with mushrooms.

The small courtyard suddenly became lively, and there was a lively white gas wafting in the sky. Even because the pot was not enough, he had to go to the camp and bring it back.

Xu Jia walked out of the camp and happened to meet his third son.

"I heard that the general's wife is here?"

He nodded and said, "You're well-informed." ”

Sanzi blinked, rubbed his hands and smiled, "That's not Mrs. cooking, that's a must, seeing that you want someone and a pot, don't you know." Do you think I'm going to do it, just go and help? ”

After Xu Jia glanced at him, he said with disgust: "I think your help is fake, and stealing food is real." ”

"Hehe, see through it, don't say it."

In the end, the third son went back to the 'General's Mansion' in the city with Xu Jia.

When I saw the hot scene, I sighed: "This is the atmosphere of the New Year." ”

At this time, Qin Xiang was like a general on the battlefield, commanding his soldiers to fight bravely against the enemy. And the enemy is the pot of ingredients that need to be cooked in front of you.

Wait until the evening, and some will be fine.

Xu Jia and the others used a cart to pull and send pots of food to the camp.

After a while, the whole sky over Gancheng was filled with the fragrance of food.

The soldiers defending the city had deep cracks on the backs of their hands and the tiger's mouths, and they were numb from pain. Occasionally, you can see the bones under the flesh.

Suddenly, I heard someone say, "The food is here, get ready quickly!" ”

When he heard this, his eyes lit up.

I ate a shriveled bun in the morning, and poured a stomach full of cold water, but I never ate anything else. Fortunately, they heard that the soldiers in the camp were even more miserable, and they only ate one meal a day, and they still ate buns made of chaff mixed with wood flour.

Today is the New Year, and he doesn't want to have anything to eat, as long as he can eat enough, he will be content.

Suddenly, I heard a lot of discussion in front of me, as if I was talking about a woman. There are too many people, and he still has to stand guard, so he can only look quietly.

Then I saw a beautiful woman wearing a furry cloak, protected by several guards, and climbed the city wall.

She's so beautiful, like a fairy in a painting.

Fairies are not only beautiful, but also kind. They were brought a New Year's meal, as well as a paste for their hands.

The little soldier held the hand cream, the bowl was a big piece of meat, and one person had a hot clay pot, and tears couldn't help but fall.

It's good that as long as there is hope, they can hold on.

Qin Xiang knew that fighting was hard, but when he arrived at the place, he realized that it was too bitter.

None of the clothes worn by the soldiers were unpatched, and some of them could not even get together a set of armor, and the weapons in their hands were too rudimentary. Even so, their gaze remained resolute.

"Madame, go back quickly, it's cold here." The honest man waved at her, and praised her for the delicious meat buns she made.

Qin Xiang turned around three times and slowly walked down the city wall.

"Boss, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable."

"Why shouldn't I?"

Xiaoyu fingers picked the hand stove in his arms and pursed his lips, "I don't understand, the border pass is already so bitter, why do those nobles still care about those fearless powers." If Gan City is really breached, what good will it do them? Are they not the people of Siyan, and do they not know that the people are suffering? ”

A touch of coldness fell on his face, Qin Xiang stretched out his hand to catch it, and found that the sky began to snow at some point.

She sighed slightly, and the white air she exhaled dispersed in the air.

"After kneeling for a long time, I can't stand up. These people's knees are not straight, and they have no people in their hearts, they are selfish, and they are fighting for power. Look, one day they will regret what they have done today. Those who do not have reverence in their hearts will not end well in the end. ”

Xiaoyu didn't understand Qin Xiang's words, but subconsciously agreed. In her opinion, the things that the owner said that she didn't understand were because her ability to understand things was too shallow.

"Let's go, let's go back."

Han Yunxiao is very happy today, in addition to the grain and grass sent, he can also see his mother, and he has a comfortable year.

"I'm just waiting for you, let's eat."

A group of people sat together, drinking bad wine, but they were happier and more pleasant than ever.

Even Qin Xiang drank two cups, his face was red, and he said that he didn't dare to drink again.

The night was cold, and the flames in the sky burst out.

"In the new year, everyone will be very happy."

At night, the husband and wife lay on the narrow bed, hugged each other tightly, but did nothing.

"Lady."

"Huh?"

"I feel like I'm very lively."

Qin Xiang smiled, "Give you a full meal, are you so excited?" ”

Han Yunxiao shook his head lightly, stretched out his hand and pressed her face to his chest, "I never thought that the lady would come to Gancheng, let alone that you didn't abandon me." I thought back then, even if you let go, I wouldn't complain. Everything is me, it's me who didn't do it well, I didn't do it right. But now, when you come, my heart will know to rejoice, and it will be happy. ”

Qin Xiang's eyes were hot, she pressed against the man's chest, listening to a powerful heartbeat for a long time.

"I'm not, I don't know how much I miss you when you're away."
