Cui Hao pondered, this time it can't be worse than Ziyan, otherwise he will be compared again.

"Let's make a few more, and when the time comes, you can generously send one to my brother."

Zilan pursed her lips and smiled, her brother must be very disgusted.

Cui Hao pinched his chin and nodded with interest, "Draw something fun, he can't think of it, I'll stimulate him when the time comes." ”

"Hahahaha!"

For dinner, the husband and wife ate a hot pot, Zilan let people try to make some hot pot base is clear oil, after a few experiments, the taste is still good, cut into small pieces, put a piece in and then cook some dishes when eating, it is still very good to eat in winter.

Cui Hao likes this kind of base very much, and he has to eat it every three or five times.

Zilan ate clear soup, a small casserole with roast leg of mutton, and he took a knife and sliced the mutton to fill her plate with meat.

"It's a pity that there is no beef, otherwise this base can be made into butter, and the soup made with beef bones tastes better than this."

"Oh, is the butter one tastier?"

Cui Hao turned his head and asked.

"The taste is very thick, and the taste is different from that of clear oil."

Zilan smiled.

It is not easy to eat beef here, and it is generally a cow that breaks its leg or an old cow that is dying, and it can only be slaughtered after going to the yamen to declare it.

Because cattle are one of the properties used for farming, the imperial court did not allow cattle to be slaughtered at will.

Even the aristocracy did not often eat beef, but mutton, pork, chicken, duck and fish, and even donkey meat was not often eaten, and it was used for farming.

"Oh, then I'll go back and see if there's anyone selling cattle. Doing some. This thing can be stored for a long time. ”

"Yes, I plan to study this vegetarian oil, which can be supplied to the army for consumption, made into two kinds of spicy and clear soup, and can be properly stored at other times except in summer."

"You're right, especially in cold regions, you can eat until the season changes. Recently, there has been a lot of friction in the Tibetan border, and in order to prevent war, everyone is discussing this issue of border friction.

Once the war starts, there are a lot of problems, and we don't have much chance of winning. ”

"That's for sure, the Tibetan region is cold and in the mountainous areas and relatively high, the climate and environment are not adaptable, the mountains are too high, people will have asthma and other diseases, let alone war, survival is very difficult.

Moreover, the rice on the mountain is sandwiched when it is made, and there are many problems, and the possibility of failure is high if you are not prepared. ”

"You're right, the generals also raised this question, but I think it's still not comprehensive, and there may be some questions waiting for us that we don't know. It's still being discussed, and there's no intention of going to war. ”

"It's best not to fight, a war is the suffering of the common people, and the people in the mountainous areas are very tough, especially the herdsmen, don't underestimate people, people use stones to beat you a dozen accurate, I listened to the steward, they have been herding sheep for many years, and they have been using stones to circle sheep, and they can fight accurately, and they are amazing."

"Really?"

Cui Hao knows less about these.

"Well, I have a steward who collects medicinal materials over there, and I have been in contact with it, so I know a little about it, and the medicinal materials in the alpine area are very good and easy to sell."

"Oh, I'm going to find out later."

Cui Hao began to consciously take the initiative to understand and learn about these things when he was working in the military department, in case of emergency.

"How likely are you to go to war?"

Zilan began to think in her heart, if she really wants to fight, she may not have to worry too much about anything else, but the medicinal materials in the mountains may really need a lot.

"Oops! It's really hard to say, anyway, the friction is quite strong. Last time, the Tatar state suffered a big loss, and began to contact the surrounding small countries everywhere, and it has been bouncing. ”

"I know, you go and help me find some medicinal herbs in the mountains, as long as they are useful, I want live seeds or seedlings or the like, I can use them."

Zilan lowered her head and sighed faintly, the world of men is killing and robbing, even if he has the emperor's blue eye, it is impossible to reverse any of the emperor's thoughts and decisions, what he can do is to try his best to do what he can do, ensure that the soldiers are well fed and clothed, and have medicine to eat when they are sick.

Cui Hao was stunned for a moment, saw that there was no one in the house, and whispered to her, "The last time the Song family took out so much food, it was also grown in your vegetable field, right?" ”

This is not a doubt, but an affirmative.

"Yes, I slept for a few more hours and came out, the national disaster is at the head, and the husband is responsible."

Cui Hao thought about it a little more, the last time the Song family donated food in the last war, it can be said that the family wealth was exhausted, which is almost the case, but it can't stand scrutiny.

Now that I think about it, I understand everything, no wonder my father-in-law doesn't want the bamboo wine recipe.

The Song family can get out of the predicament so quickly and get ahead, and there are more opportunities than other families, which is what the daughter-in-law fought hard to come back.

"You're too tired, it's just before, how can you be pregnant now, no."

"Erlang, you think too seriously, now the court doesn't say that there is a war, I have to check the vegetable field every day, I don't get tired of tossing in advance, the truth is critical, can you watch those soldiers freeze to death on the mountain?"

Cui Hao pursed his lips and his face was not good-looking, and he didn't speak, obviously resistant, he just didn't want to quarrel with her.

"If you think about it, I prepared in advance, just do a little bit every day, and I can keep it in it without being discovered, but if I am in a hurry, it will be very hard.

If you do it well, this is also an opportunity for the Cui family, to give the brothers and sons in the family a chance to be promoted. Erlang, my grandfather will retire after the year, and we must seize the opportunity to let the emperor know that the Cui family still has to be used. The children are still very brilliant and can be of great use. ”

Cui Hao held her hand, knowing that her sincerity was for the good of the Cui family, but she still had one in her belly, how could she rest assured that she was so tired.

"Don't worry about me, I'm very strong, now there is no big thing to eat, drink and have fun during the day, you must know that I have to run the Xianglou at that time, in fact, I can rest when I am tired."

"There's no rush in advance, I'm going to discuss it with my grandfather, I'll prepare things for you to come back, and you can do what you can."

Cui Hao finally compromised, she was right, the sooner she prepared, the easier it would be for her, in case there was really going to be a war, it would be too hasty to prepare in the temporary situation, and the medicinal materials in the mountains would definitely not be able to be bought, and it would be useless to have money.

The national disaster is facing countless lives, and they cannot afford to be careless and hasty.

"You and grandfather discussed earlier, I don't know much about things outside, if there are signs of it, it is better to prepare early."

"I see."

"If I'm right, maybe this is an opportunity. It's just not good fanfare. ”

"Don't worry, as long as there is movement in our family, the rest will be almost the same for my grandfather to take a breath. Where can this be so public, if you guess wrong, you will be charged. ”

"Good. Eat first, this frozen tofu is not bad, you can taste it. ”
