Zhen Jili couldn't care about idle talk anymore, and wanted to reach out and eat vegetables while holding her rumbling stomach, and said that she would "try saltiness".

Ji Yu directly brought the plate to the board behind her and motioned for him to continue boiling the pot.

Zhen Jili couldn't reach it, and looked at it again and again.

Dabao's pot was cooking rice, and at this time it was rolled for the third time, and it was still porridge-like, Ji Yu took a spoon and skimmed a dumpling of rice soup from above, covered the pot and let Dabao continue to burn.

Wash the vegetable pot, add two scoops of water and a spoonful of salt to boil, cut the tender tofu into thumb-sized strips, blanch in a pot of boiling water, and then cut the greens into fine pieces.

Bring to a boil in a pot of lard, add the soft tofu until it tastes, and then add the vegetables until soft.

A dish of rice soup boiled with vegetables and tofu also came out of the pot quickly.

Except for a little salt, no seasonings are added, not even ginger and garlic, so that the taste of the rice soup is as close as possible to the essence of green vegetables and tofu.

Don't look at the embarrassment of Zhen Jili's saliva dripping to the ground, Ji Yu also plans to make a dish of noodles and drag a small yellow croaker.

This kind of small yellow croaker is not the kind of sea fish of later generations, but a very common small fish plate in the local river, the body is small and the meat is tender, and it is very suitable for frying.

The fish body has been cleaned before stir-frying, and it has been marinated in a basin with salt, green onions, ginger shreds and other ingredients for a quarter of an hour.

Ji Yu beat another egg into it and mixed well, and then added flour and stirred to ensure that the flour could be evenly wrapped on the pickled small yellow croaker.

When the oil temperature is 70% hot, put the small yellow croaker with batter in it and fry it, turn it over after forming, until both sides are golden brown, and then drain the oil out of the pan.

The first two dishes are also fragrant, but they are a relatively warm fragrance, and now they are fish and oil, and the fragrance is too domineering, and it goes straight into people's stomachs, and even Dabao is staring at it.

Ji Yu smiled, pinched a small yellow croaker with controlled oil, blew the heat slightly and handed it to his mouth, the small yellow croaker was not big, he opened his mouth and bit off half of it.

Zhen Jili was immediately unhappy when he saw it: "If I don't take you so favoritism, I'm still a guest!" ”

Oh, and now he's a guest again.

Ji Yu also clipped one to him with chopsticks, and he didn't care whether it was hot or not, he couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth.

The small yellow croaker fried in the paste is golden and crispy, even the fish bones are already soft, one bite down, the fish meat is fragrant and tender, the fish bones and dough are crispy and tough, that is called a delicious!

Zhenjili didn't spit out a single fish bone, and smashed it after eating: "I was in a hurry to eat just now, and I didn't taste it, so let's have another one." ”

Only the back of Ji Yu's head answered him.

When all the small yellow croakers are fried, the rice is cooked.

For this meal, Ji Yu and Dabao only ate one bowl, and the remaining half of the pot of rice and vegetables all went into Zhen Jili's stomach, Ji Yu was really afraid that he would kill himself.

After Zhen Jili wiped his mouth, he began to burp and complain.

"I haven't eaten it in a long time...... Hiccup, such a delicious meal, it's a pity that I'll have to go back to the barracks soon. You don't know, the big pot of rice in the barracks is not eaten by people at all, there is no salt and no oil, not to mention the meat, and the birds will fade out of the mouth! ”

"I can't." Ji Yu was a little unconvinced, the food in the barracks should be very good, "Don't say anything else, you are all a celebrity around the general, and you can't eat a meal of meat?" ”

"The general eats with us in the same pot, can you believe it?" Zhen Jili pursed his lips and frowned, "I didn't believe it before, I always thought that generals were the kind of ...... who opened small stoves in private."

To be honest, Ji Yu also thinks so.

"Looking at it this way, General Kou is not bad. So why don't I improve your food? You're just it, those soldiers who charge into battle every day and die are not able to keep up with their nutrition. ”

"What do you mean by me? I'm also lacking in that kind of nutrition. ”

Zhen Jili crossed his nose and raised his eyes, and decided not to bother with her.

"You think our general doesn't want to? People say that the king's life will not be affected outside, listening to the majesty, in fact, the lifeline is still in the hands of the people, and the grain and grass must be dialed in the capital, right? But the court cried poorly, saying that the treasury was empty, and the three days were urgently delivered and the five days were one will, and the return was all urging the general to win the war quickly. ”

The more Zhen Jili said, the more angry he became: "They don't understand anything, so they know that if they talk on paper, don't the generals want to win the battle as soon as possible...... Those old guys quarreled in the court, and in the end it was the military spending of Kanbei...... At such a time, do they want the general to win or lose the war to reduce military spending? ”

This is the cruelty of the generals.

They have to face not only the life and death crisis of the horse leather shroud, but also the game of various forces from the court thousands of miles away.

How many generals died not on the battlefield or at the hands of the enemy, but under the suspicion of the king or the hidden arrows of their colleagues.

Ji Yu didn't want to talk about such a heavy topic, so she deliberately joked: "I can't see it, you still defend your general, I thought he was just a springboard for you." ”

That's what he thought at first.

If General Kou is an official with a fat brain and a vegetarian corpse, then he will not become a sycophant villain in order to be promoted and make a fortune.

But General Cole is not.

Zhen Jili has not been by his side for a long time, but he has already understood a truth, people are different after all.

He snorted: "Although I want to climb up, but I am not completely heartless, whoever guards our Guanbei is the hero of our Guanbei people, and the hero should be respected." ”

Ji Yu also admires heroes, they throw their heads and spill their blood, change the peace of the world, so that the people can live in peace, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the guardians of peace.

But apart from looking up, she couldn't help anything else.

Zhen Jili began to sigh again, complaining about eating back: "Although I don't have meat now, I still have some green vegetables and radish, and in a few days these will be gone, so I guess I can only eat steamed buns and pickles." ”

Ji Yu's heart moved, and she turned around and walked out of the house.

After a while, he placed a basket full of rattan things in front of Zhen Jili.

"This isn't one of those crumpled things in your yard, what's it for?"

"Dehydrated vegetables." Ji Yu repeated what she had said to Widow Xie and Hu Liang before.

After hearing this, Zhen Jili was skeptical: "Can it really be put on for so long?" Or is it the same as fresh vegetables? Don't lie to me, even if you pity me, you can't let me eat dried leaves. ”

Ji Yu didn't want to waste her saliva, so she went directly to the stove room and made a vegetable leaf soup with dehydrated vegetables.

Zhen Jili had witnessed the beauty of dehydrated vegetables and finally believed it, but he also drank the bowl of soup from the bottom to the bottom.

"Haven't you ever thought about making a fortune with this dehydrated vegetable?"

Zhen Jili deserves to be Zhen Jili, and he will come as soon as his mind changes.

Ji Yu didn't hide it from him: "I plan to partner with Aunt Xie and sell this in winter." ”

"Where to sell?"

"Naturally, it's the town, and if the situation is good, then run to the county." I was worried that the principal was not enough, but now that I have this fifty taels that fell from the sky, I don't have to worry.

"You're stupid!" Zhen Jili unceremoniously despised her, "The ready-made way is in front of you, and you don't know how to use it?" ”

"You mean selling dehydrated vegetables to the army?" Ji Yu's eyebrows jumped, "But didn't you just say that the army is short of funds......

"No matter how tight the army's funds are, it just can't eat a lot of fish, and can you still have enough basic food? Don't forget, emaciated camels are also bigger than horses. Directly supply the army, but also save you half a catty and a tael to run out and sell it, not to mention the hard work, in the event of strong winds and snow, business will also be affected. ”

Ji Yu pondered for a while, and then said: "Otherwise, the business of the town and the county town still has to be done, and as for the army, we will also make a batch to send over, no money......"

Zhen Jili sneered: "You don't want money, then the share of buying vegetables will go directly into the pockets of the procurement, you won't be naïve to think that the money saved can also add a meal to the soldiers!" Oh, I'm laughing to death, do you know that we have hundreds of thousands of people stationed there, and it's not enough to stuff your teeth! ”

Ji Yu was also a little embarrassed, she did feel that those soldiers who defended their families and defended the country were not very good at collecting money, but they did not take into account the actual situation of their own abilities.

"You can collect your money with peace of mind, and I will pull this line for you, this is a good thing, and the general will definitely agree. You just have to do it, and you have to do it in large quantities, and I'll have people pick it up when the time comes. ”
