Chapter 102: Thinking of the Old Days
"General, the little lady made some steamed cakes at home for the little ones to bring to you to taste, there are many steamed cakes, you can share them with the big guys to eat."
Xiao Zhan had just come back from the school field and was discussing with several subordinates in the tent about the training that this batch of recruits should do in the future, Ding Bo took this basket of steamed cakes and told Xiao Zhan.
Since talking to Gu Tang, Qixi's mood is far better than before, she knows that many people are staring at her earlier confession, and she doesn't know how many calculations are waiting for her after recognizing her relatives.
She couldn't resist the calculation, but at last she was able to deny her relatives and block things in front of what they wanted to do, she didn't believe that it would not work!
After tearing the fabric and going back that day, Qixi Festival, who was in a good mood, asked Ding Bo to bring back some more rice noodles for himself, and got up early in the morning to make these many steamed cakes.
In the general's mansion when Qixi also learned some delicate pastries, but to make the end there is no steamed cake specialty, in the past, the family will pick up some rice noodles during the New Year's Festival, make two steamed cakes, pick up some red dates and put them on the top, look particularly festive.
The craftsmanship of Qixi Festival is taught by my mother, and the dishes that will be made are all farmhouse dishes, which are not very good crafts, and I can fill my stomach improvised, and most of them were made by my mother in the past, but later after my brother left, she took it over.
Especially after her mother became ill, she cooked the rice for many years, and the farmhouse rice was quite delicious.
Xiao Zhan looked at so many steamed cakes, and also knew that Qixi was not for himself to eat, at this moment, he only kept his own share for a few brothers, and specially asked someone to leave two pieces for Liu Yunting.
The few men present who had spent all morning feeling that they were hungry, and this would be unceremonious, so they each took two pieces to eat, and left two pieces for Liu Yunting.
Although he is a newcomer, he still has a knighthood on his body, and now he has come to practice, and he has a better place to go in the future, and although he has a knighthood, he is never arrogant after he comes, he is hard-working, and he is very hardworking, at this point, even Xiao Zhan has to admire.
Not only Xiao Zhan, but even this group of big men didn't dare to think that such a prince with fine clothes and jade food could endure so much work!
Although Liu Yunting has eaten pampered meals in the past few years, he has never had any slack in his years in the palace, and he has practiced literature and martial arts, which is not as easy as in the military camp.
Several bigwigs and yamen originally thought that Liu Yunting would be difficult to get along with, but now that they have been familiar with it for so long, they only feel that Liu Yunting is occasionally colder, and his mind is heavier, and the others are fine.
As soon as the rice cakes were divided, the big tent was now full of sweet taste, the men had marched and fought for many years, and the grass roots and bark had been eaten in the most difficult times, and for the pastries that were still steaming, this was already the best delicacy.
"This sweetheart of the general is really the best, and the brothers are all following you!"
"Yes, IKEA, this is to make knee pads and clothes, and to make pastries for you, even for the sake of the brothers, she thinks, in peace, although the background is not high, but it will feel distressed, that is better than anything else."
"When the general takes the time, he will go back to accompany others, and give birth to the child early in the morning, which is the real hot kang head for the wife and children."
A few people are eating the steamed cakes made by Tanabata at this moment, you and I are talking about homely things, and the topics between men are nothing more than those few.
In order to eat the rice cakes of Tanabata today, the topic is naturally to bring Tanabata to the body, and most of them say that Tanabata is good.
They have never been in contact with Qixi Festival, but just looking at this mind and craftsmanship, they know that such a daughter is not arrogant, not like Fang Qingzhi, she has become the general's wife, and she always treats them differently towards these rough people.
For so many years, there have been times when the brothers came back from the battlefield to talk and drink together, but the smile on the face of the general's wife was very fake.
They can see this with their eyes!
Besides, Fang Qingzhi has been married to Xiao Zhan for so many years, not to mention that her son didn't even give birth to a daughter, they didn't feel sorry for saying these words, which woman in their family never gave birth to a child.
Even if you can't give birth to a son, you always have a daughter, but what about Fang Qingzhi?
I can't see it!
In the past, they let Xiao Zhan take a concubine Xiao Zhan was unwilling, but many of the things that happened this year, in the final analysis, were because Fang Qingzhi was cautious and couldn't give birth to children, so Xiao Zhan had a good temperament to keep her, and if they changed them, where was such a big temper.
Send her back to her parents' house early, what should she do!
A man's family was born and died on the battlefield, if he didn't even have a descendant, how could he be worthy of his ancestors and ancestors!
Xiao Zhan ate the still warm rice cake in his hand, listened to the words of the people below, smiled implicitly, and didn't pay attention to the words they said.
It's all kind words, although there are some things that Xiao Zhan doesn't want to say, but just listen to them and don't make a sound, others are just fine.
It just so happened that at this moment, Liu Yunting had already changed his sweaty clothes and returned to the big tent, and saw two rice cakes on the small table where he was sitting, and couldn't help but look at the people beside him.
"This is brought by the general's sweetheart, the brothers have it, the adults eat a piece, this training is hungry and hungry all morning, let's talk together after eating."
Since someone explained the origin of the rice cake to Liu Yunting, as soon as Liu Yunting heard that, he knew who made this thing.
The three words sweetheart are cleverly used, Qixi is not Xiao Zhan's wife or his concubine, she came here without a name and no share, and only these three words are suitable for her.
Smelling the fragrance, Liu Yunting knew that it was rice cakes, rice cakes would be made on Tanabata, and they were also the best things to make, he had been thinking about eating them for the past few years, and this would be in front of his eyes, but he suddenly didn't want to move......
"There is a delay in eating, a few adults just talk, I will take this rice cake back to eat later."
Looking at the two rice cakes at hand, Liu Yunting touched a lot of memories in his heart, which made his heart feel sour, he really couldn't eat it, he was afraid that after eating this bite of rice cakes, the next moment he would want to rush to the front of Qixi and let Qixi recognize himself......
After he said this, the rest of the people were not good at saying anything, and everyone only discussed many matters of future training together at this moment.
After discussing all the things, the big guys went back to their accounts, and when they went out, Liu Yunting glanced at the rice cakes in his hand, pondered a lot, and wrapped the two rice cakes in a handkerchief and took them away.
Now that he can intersect with Qixi Festival, I'm afraid that there are only these two rice cakes, so he wanted to leave this thing here and make his heart harder.
But after pondering for a long time, his heart couldn't be hard, he couldn't bear it, he couldn't bear it, he couldn't really give it up......
This cake is still the taste of the past, and the appearance is also the same as when the mother handed it to Qixi in the past, after returning to the big tent, Liu Yunting put the rice cake on the bookcase, and then picked up the brush at hand to deal with the official document handed to him by Xiao Zhan.
This man has something on his mind, and he didn't take it well, and after a long time, he finished handling the official business in his hand, and when he finished handling all the things, the rice cakes at hand were already cold......
The cold rice cakes were hard, Liu Yunting was reluctant, broke a small piece and put it in his mouth and took a bite, the hard side did not taste as soft and glutinous as when it was just delivered, but his eyes were involuntarily sour when he ate it.
At this moment, Liu Yunting's heart was extremely sour, and even his eyes were a little damp, and at the moment when he was eating a small piece of rice cake in his mouth, the curtain outside the big stick had been opened.
Outside, Xiao Zhan was holding a letter from the capital and wanted to teach the book to Liu Yunting, but the letter was sent to the wrong place and was delivered directly to him.
When he entered the door, he happened to watch Liu Yunting break the rice cake little by little and send it to his mouth, Xiao Zhan coughed as a signal, Liu Yunting took away the sourness in Shicai's eyes, and at this moment, he straightened his expression and looked at Xiao Zhan.
"They sent the letter from the house to me, and I specially took it and returned it to you!"
Xiao Zhan smiled and handed the letter in his hand to Liu Yunting, who looked at the unfamiliar handwriting on it and knew who sent it.
Since Li Xiangning came to Xishan, he will send a letter to his family every five days, which records the body of the old prince, the situation at home, and these things at home have someone around him, as for the rest, he doesn't want to see it.
Leaving Li Xiangning in the house to preside over and keep her to let her enjoy the honor is the only thing she can do, she wants more, she can't give it, leave Li Xiangning at hand, and hang around in front of the old man every day, but it's just an angry old man.
After thanking Xiao Zhan, Liu Yunting put the family letter on the table next to him, and had no desire to open it, this was his family affair, Xiao Zhan was inconvenient to say, and turned around with a smile and planned to leave.
"This rice cake made by the general's wife is the same as the one I ate when I lived in the countryside, and my wife is very skilled." When Xiao Zhan was about to leave, Liu Yunting would be too talkative and said such a sentence.
No amount of family letters can be worth such a piece of rice cake, if the time can come back, he would rather take the pension back to his hometown and talk with his mother in the countryside during the Qixi Festival, farm when he is busy, and eat this bite of what he misses very much during the New Year......
But now, these have become extravagant hopes and dreams!
After hearing Liu Yunting say this, Xiao Zhan remembered one thing, that is, the prince who was recognized back was also a farmer, and he climbed up from the pile of dead people on the battlefield all the way from birth to death.
"If the prince likes it, please go to the courtyard to eat a meal of farm food when you go back to rest!" Xiao Zhan thought that Xu is Liu Yunting remembered the incident when he was in the farmhouse, and he would invite him very politely.
Liu Yunting smiled after hearing this, "Don't disturb you and Mrs. to get together, when Mrs. cooks these meals in the future, just bring me a bite!" ”
If he could, Liu Yunting himself would have run to Qixi to recognize him, but unfortunately, now he is not strong enough, he has to be so strong that the entire Liu clan must obey his orders, and he has the ability to protect Qixi's comfort.
And he has been working hard, hoping to have this ability as soon as possible to protect Tanabata!
