Chapter 543
But the half-grown child in front of him told him that he respected the soldiers and was willing to donate thirty loads of military rations for free!
General Li was silent, and when he spoke again, his voice couldn't help but be a little hoarse: "What's your sister's name?" ”
He wondered what kind of woman he could say in such an atmosphere, and also educate his younger brother about it.
"This ...... My sister has not yet married, and I am afraid that it is inconvenient to tell her name, so I ask the general to blame ..... in a hurry."
General Li came back to his senses and said busily: "It's me who is not thoughtful." After speaking, he looked at Xu Qingwen fixedly and said: "You are very good, your sister is also very good, with your words, it will not be in vain for us to be bloody on the battlefield, desperately defending against the enemy, those soldiers who are shrouded in horse leather....... You can also look at it! ”
Hearing this, Xu Qingwen's face showed a solemn face, and he hugged his fists and gave a deep salute to General Li and others.
The audience was silent, and silence is better than sound at this time!
After a while, General Li smiled and said heartily: "Okay, then I will accept it on behalf of the border guards." "With these 30 loads of grain, the soldiers who are going to go on the expedition can also have a full meal.
"Then the general will later, I will have people bring rice and grain." Xu Qingwen said.
"No, you don't." General Li Shen waved his hand and said: "Why is it so troublesome, you can tell me directly where the rice and grain are, and I will take someone to transport it." ”
"That'..... The general waits. After speaking, Xu Qingwen went straight to the backyard.
By the small gate in the backyard, the spirit fairy was still guarding there, and when he saw Xu Qingwen coming, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Young master, why are you here, what happened ahead?" “
Because of the importance of the gatekeeper relationship, she didn't dare to leave a single step, so even if she heard some noise in front of her, she didn't go over to investigate.
"That's ......" Xu Qingwen whispered into her ear, and said the context clearly: "You go and tell my sister and ask her to prepare three hundred loads of rice and grain....."
"Yes, slave and maid will go." After speaking, the fairy opened the back door and ran away.
Xu Qingwen returned to the front and said to General Li: "Although there are dozens of loads of rice grain in the backyard, there are still many people lining up outside, and the kid is not good at breaking his trust, so he promised the general three hundred loads of rice grain, and asked the general to move to the Xu family's house in the back street to get it." ”
Hearing this, General Li Shen clasped his fists and saluted Xu Qingwen: "Little brother Gao Yi, Li has thanked the border soldiers on behalf of him." “
Xu Qingwen hurriedly returned the salute, and then called the servant on the side: "You go and lead the way for the general." “
"Yes." The little guy responded and said to General Li: "General, please come with the little one." “
"Farewell." General Li said hello and left with his soldiers.
Xu Qingwen stood by the door, watching them go away, and when the figure was out of sight, he withdrew his gaze and continued to greet the people queuing up outside to buy rice.........
At this end, Xu Qingyan had just returned to the pharmacy, and before she could sit down, she saw Lingxian panting and chasing after her: "Miss, Miss......"
"What's wrong?" Xu Qingyan looked back in amazement, and saw that her face was flushed, obviously in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "But what's the matter with Awen?" ”
Lingxian calmed down, looked around, came to Xu Qingyan's side, and whispered Xu Qingwen's words.
After hearing this, Xu Qingyan was shocked: "Okay, I know, you can go back." After saying that, he hurried to the house non-stop.
When she arrived at the house, General Li's grain transport team also arrived at the gate of the house almost at the same time, and she quietly slipped in through the backyard without alerting anyone.
The little guy who led the way came to the door and explained his intention to the doorkeeper, the doorkeeper nodded, and hurriedly went inside to report, and happened to meet Xu Qingyan at the inner door, so he told the matter.
Xu Qingyan nodded to herself and asked him to take Li Shen and them to the corner gate, and then she hurried to the corner gate by herself and filled all the empty houses near the corner gate with rice grain.
When there was a knock on the door, nearly 500 loads of rice had been placed in the room.
"Squeak" The door opened, and seeing that it was Xu Qingyan who opened the door, the little guy hurriedly saluted in surprise: "Miss." “
Xu Qingyan nodded slightly and looked back: "This is General Li." ”
After listening to the words of the little guy, General Li immediately reacted that Xu Qingyan might be the sister of the little brother just now, so he couldn't help but be in awe and replied: "It's Li." “
Xu Qingyan smiled slightly: "The general has worked hard, the food has been prepared, and it is in the room in the backyard." With that, he stepped out of the way and motioned for them to push the cart in and fetch it.
Although General Li was very curious about Xu Qingyan, because of the difference between men and women, and because she was a girl who had not left the cabinet, it was really difficult to talk too much, and after saying a word of thanks, he took someone in to move grain.
It is not easy to load all the 300 loads of grain, and besides, it is already summer at this time, and the weather is gradually getting hotter, and the heavy handling will make the soldiers sweat after a while.
Seeing this, Xu Qingyan hurriedly ordered her subordinates to bring two buckets of tea, and then asked the kitchen to boil some mung bean soup for preparation.
When all the 300 loads of grain were loaded and loaded into the car, the sun had risen in the sky, and there was a burst of fragrance from the kitchen, and the soldiers who were loaded on the truck couldn't stop swallowing.
Xu Qingyan smiled, and stepped forward to say to General Li, who was deploying the escort strategy: "It's lunch time, I let the kitchen steam some trowels, and the general and the sergeants will stop first, and then load after eating." ”
Hearing this, General Li hurriedly waved his hand: "What is the matter, I have been a great help by getting these grains today, how can I bother the girl again." As he spoke, he took out a gray cloth bag from his arms and raised it towards Xu Qingyan: "We brought our own dry food, just eat some of the tea provided by the girl." With that, he ordered the soldiers to stop and rest.
In response, the soldiers took out cloth bags from their arms, opened them, and saw that they were gray the size of a bowl, gray with yellow in color, and they knew at a glance that they were made of aged rice noodles.
Xu Qingyan's heart was slightly sour, and she smiled at General Li: "The kitchen has been prepared, if the general doesn't eat it, the people in our house won't be able to finish it, and on this hot day, I can't help but put it, isn't it a waste." “
General Li paused, thinking that what Xu Qingyan said was also reasonable, and seeing her sincere, not polite, he had to relax and say: "That's okay, thank you so much girl." “
"It doesn't matter." Xu Qingyan smiled and hurriedly ordered her subordinates to bring the food.
After a while, I saw eight servants carrying six frames of white and fragrant buns, in addition to two large vats of mung bean soup and two jars of pickles.
Smelling the smell of meat in the air, the soldiers were surprised, could it be that the trowel that the girl of the Xu family said was not a plain trowel, but a meat trowel?
Thinking of this, the saliva in the mouth is secreted more vigorously.
General Li also froze, looked at the basket of trowels placed in front of him, and said in surprise: "Girl, this is?" “
Xu Qingyan said with a smile: "There is nothing that can be done in a hurry, so I wrapped some meat-stuffed steamed buns, and I hope you don't dislike it." As he spoke, he pointed to the two porcelain altars next to him and said, "There are some home-pickled pickles in it, and I don't know if it suits everyone's appetite." “
There is no distinction between buns and trowels in Tengzhou, and they are uniformly called trowels, the difference is that the ones without stuffing are called plain trowels, and the stuffed ones are called meat trowels.
"Whatever the girl says, it's good for a soldier to have a stutter, how can you pick that many, besides, the girl's preparation is already very good."
General Li didn't expect Xu Qingyan to be so generous, and he actually prepared meat trowels for them, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
But looking back, I think it's normal, after all, even 300 quintals of grain are willing to donate, not to mention these. After thinking about it, there seems to be nothing else to say except thanks.
"Miss Xie is gracious, then we will be disrespectful." General Li Shen returned the fist and saluted.
Xu Qingyan said with a smile: "The general doesn't have to be polite, because of your hard work, the battlefield is bloody, only to guard the border of the Great Zhou, to protect the thousands of people behind him, as a member of the beneficiary, the little girl is very grateful to the border soldiers, and today I can repay one or two in this way, and I am very happy in my heart." “
