Chapter 34: Giving the Bow
Chen Lihua refused, "The old man doesn't have to be like this, there is something inappropriate about the lonely party." A woman with ten fingers who don't touch the spring water rashly said that she wanted to create a divine object that could restrain the cavalry, which was originally a sensational thing. It's understandable that you just refuse. I didn't take it to heart, and I ask my husband not to worry about it. ”
Unmoved, the old man continued to kneel and raise his longbow. "This old man knows that the princess is a forgiving girl, otherwise she would have asked the military man to beat me out." The old blacksmith lifted the rags, and inside was a shining longbow, very well maintained, with fresh beeswax on it, which was obviously often maintained and polished.
"This bow is still handed down by my grandfather, when he was in Emperor Taizu's official camp, everyone else was holding a royal divine arm crossbow, but he was the only one with such a bow, and he resolutely did not use a crossbow. Whenever someone talked about it, he proudly said that a certain family's bow was better than this divine crossbow. The old blacksmith said always, his eyes shining with remembrance.
"Later, the ancestral dragon collapsed, and most of the official camp died in the battle of Mohe, and my grandfather was also disheartened after returning from a serious injury, so he put this bow in the cabinet." The old blacksmith remembered something, and smiled with few teeth.
"Your Highness, although I didn't see it, I heard that you broke some white ghost of the Karma people, and you did a good job." The old man gave a thumbs up.
"My father was also told by my grandfather that he must practice martial arts and wait to fight Jinzhou with the emperor, and my father also told me that the secret skills of my ancestors cannot be lost, but I am old, and my son will only be able to strike iron. Our family can't wait for the day when the army will break through Liangdu. The old man's arms were already sore from the long lift, and they began to sway.
"This bow follows you, hehe, maybe there will be a witness to the day when it enters Liangdu, and it will not be considered an insult to it."
Chen Lihua solemnly took the longbow and promised, "You will see that day." ”
finally encountered the traditional "I don't believe it, prove it to me" pretending to slap the face, and the system was excited to polish the climactic plot of 6,000 words, but it had just begun, and it was already over, making the system freeze in the middle, and it couldn't go up or down.
"You're too fast, give others a little more time to question you." The system said dissatisfiedly.
"I'm a princess anyway, and you don't know how to be polite every day. How can others criticize in front of a princess? Being able to question is already his limit. Chen Lihua is also very helpless. I'll help you bet with him like in the novel, but as long as I emphasize it a second time, no one will disobey my will, and no one will jump out and say that I don't believe I'm going to make a bigger bet, so what can I do? ”
"Hey." The two of them let out a long sigh.
By noon, Chen Lihua made a strange request to the chef. "In the future, we must ensure that the refugees can eat enough, and the viscosity of the porridge should not be inserted into the porridge with chopsticks, and the towel will not seep in."
"Your Royal Highness Princess, it's impossible to insert chopsticks into it without falling down." The former palace chef, now the master chef who specializes in cooking porridge has a sad face, "Only dry rice is not poured, no matter how thick the porridge is, as long as it is hot, it is impossible for the chopsticks to stand." But these refugees have been hungry for too long and need to nourish their stomachs, so they can only drink hot porridge, not cold food, let alone dry rice. ”
"Haha," Chen Lihua smiled awkwardly. In his mind, he picked up the big hammer again and chased the big white ball: "It's all your fault, it's embarrassing for me!" ”
"You can't blame me, I said this by an emperor of mine. I think he angrily scolded the ministers and then said in front of everyone that the porridge wants to be inserted into the chopsticks and does not fall into the appearance of being very handsome, so I mentioned it to you, the copyright is not me, you have to find trouble to find him! Bai Qiu let out a wail, he planned to take a domineering style at first, stood aside coldly, watching Chen Lihua scrambled there, and when it was almost out of control, he solved the problem in a few words, leaving only Chen Lihua's adoring and affectionate gaze behind him. But why is this happening? The system feels like it's getting farther and farther down the path of comedy.
"I said this casually when you said that you want to increase the amount of rice, and you yourself feel very imposing before you use it. Why is it only me?"
"Then forget it, everything is still based on your experience, master, just add more rice to feed the refugees." Although she was embarrassed in her heart, Chen Lihua outside was not annoyed, and said with a pleasant face.
"But then there will not be enough rice for the fifth day." The master looked embarrassed.
"Don't keep the rice on the fifth day, just prepare two meals for today and tomorrow. I'll figure it out when the time comes. ”
"Okay, okay." The master sighed and said, "Anyway, I want to starve to death, so it's better to live for three days than to eat for two days." ”
On that day, the refugees were pleasantly surprised to find that not only was the porridge half as much rice as before, but also a hint of oiliness. Chen Lihua looked at Wang Dewei sideways, and Wang Dewei smiled and said:
"Didn't the Grand Commander send ten pairs of elbows to insult me? I thought that anyway, I would be angry when I saw it, and I couldn't eat it, so I just put it in the porridge. I don't know why you want to improve the quality of the porridge, but since you did, it would be better to give the hungry people a taste of the fish. ”
Chen Lihua wanted to say that the elbow was to praise him for being as loyal as a guard in ancient times, but she opened her mouth and looked at Wang Dewei's stupid face. Forget it, after all, this guy is quite happy now, so I won't bother him.
After the soup kitchen was finished, the guards who had stood all afternoon had a sore back, and they all filled the remnants of the hot porridge - Yelev had given a lot, and he had increased the amount today, but he didn't finish it for a while. Chunjin saw Chen Lihua rubbing her waist and walked down the high chair - in order to let more hungry people see it, Chen Lihua specially instructed the carpenter in the camp to build it, and walked forward obediently, opened the lunch box, and the aroma of hot dishes came to her nose, and Chunjin was about to put out a plate, but was stopped by Chen Lihua.
"I'm not hungry, I'll eat again when I go back."
There are many people here, Chen Lihua enjoys delicious food here, although everyone knows the high and low, but it will inevitably make people feel unbalanced. Chen Lihua knows that no one will complain, and even if someone complains, they will be criticized by others to be content, she has worked hard for so long, and she deserves to enjoy some delicious food. But since it would be uncomfortable, don't do it.
Chunjin nodded, unhappily took back the purple gold phoenix claws that had been made all afternoon, and muttered, "It's cold when I go back." ”
Chen Lihua touched Chunjin's face and said, "It's enough that your heart is hot." ”
When had Chunjin ever heard such exciting words, Xia Fei glanced at Chen Lihua shyly with his cheeks for a while, turned around and staggered back to the carriage as if he had drunk wine.
Chen Lihua waved goodbye to the sergeants and hungry people, and when she was about to leave, she saw a thin teenager standing on the side.
