"The seventh brother and sister laughed!" Gu Mingyan replied with a smile indifferently.
Su Jinli also smiled and didn't continue the topic, and then Gu Mingyan went into the mansion to look for Qiao Hao under the leadership of Diemei.
After he left, Su Jinli straightened up and ordered everyone to prepare lunch for the victims and elite soldiers.
Considering that it would take a lot of effort for them to move the planks today, she ordered everyone to cook rice.
But a new problem arose, the rice in the storehouse was very sufficient, but they couldn't make a dish.
Qingzhou has experienced floods and wars, and has been suffering from famine for nearly a month, but everything that can be eaten has been eaten by the extremely hungry victims.
If it weren't for the fact that they recovered Qingzhou in time before they finished gnawing the bark of the woods on the outskirts of the city, I am afraid that there would be a human tragedy of cannibalism now!
Thinking about it, her beautiful eyebrows twisted into the word "Chuan", and Lan Mei and the others and other elite soldiers also fell into silence.
However, in about two hours, the army and the people will come back for lunch, and they will not have time to send people to the neighboring continent to buy vegetables!
After a long time, Lan Mei suddenly asked the commander of the elite soldiers who cleaned up the warehouse yesterday: "Is there oil residue in the warehouse?"
The elite commander was stunned, this blue charm asked what this was going to do at this time?
Although he was puzzled, he still replied truthfully: "There are dozens of jars of oil residue!"
In addition to white rice and fine noodles, the relief food allocated by the household department also includes lard and salt.
But instead of squeezed lard, the household gave several fat pigs, which were slaughtered and squeezed when the live pigs were transported to Qingzhou.
Therefore, the oil residue after oil extraction is also sealed in the grain depot for disaster relief.
Hearing this, Lan Mei was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "The princess! The slave has an idea! โ
"Huh?" Su Jinli looked at her suspiciously, and the other elite commanders also looked at her.
Under the gaze of everyone, Lan Mei said word by word: "We can use oil residue and flour steamed oil cakes for the army and the people to eat!"
"This ...... Can this thing be eaten? "Su Jinli.
She'd never heard of it.
"I can eat it, this is the favorite food of ordinary people's children!" Lan Mei replied quickly, and as she spoke, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.
Obviously, because of this oil cake, she remembered some long-ago memories, long before she entered the Su family's secret guard camp......
Seeing that she was firm, Su Jinli immediately put her mind at ease.
Just as she was about to order everyone to do what Lan Mei said, many soldiers from poor families in the elite soldiers were reminded of their past memories by Lan Mei's words.
"What the Blue Maiden said is very true! The flatbread with green onions and oil residue is really fragrant! An elite soldier missed.
As soon as the words fell, the other continued: "Not really! Just thinking about it makes your mouth water! โ
โฆโฆ
Listening to everyone's discussions, Su Jinli's originally frowning brows instantly relaxed, and she happily praised: "Lan Mei is really smart!" It's a solution to my urgent need! โ
"The princess is serious!" Lan Mei was a little uncomfortable with her praise.
Su Jinli, who was immersed in joy, didn't pay too much attention to Lan Mei's expression, she hurriedly instructed everyone to go to the warehouse to get flour and oil residue and other needed things.
Then he sent people to the place where the old and weak women and children gathered in the city, and invited a woman who could make bread.
Under her arrangement, everything was busy and orderly, and when noon came, all the hot and fragrant oil cakes were out of the pot.
And the thick salty porridge in the cauldron on the side has also been boiled.
Because the taste of the oil cakes and the salty porridge carefully boiled by the women was so fragrant, many of the elite soldiers who liked it couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Su Jinli looked at everything in front of her with satisfaction, and teased in a very good mood: "Hurry up and put away your saliva!" Even if you are hungry, this princess can't let you eat first! You have to wait for the people and the army to eat before it will be your turn! โ
"Oops!" All the elite soldiers lamented in unison, and then hung their heads listlessly.
Seeing them like this, the smile on Su Jinli's face deepened, and then continued to laugh with Lan Mei and the others, waiting for the army and the people to return.
didn't wait long, Gu Mingjue led the army and the people who worked with them back.
"Husband!" Seeing Gu Mingjue, Su Jinli's eyes lit up violently, and then he quickly rushed out of the crowd and ran towards him.
"Princess, slow down!" Lan Mei hurriedly shouted, for fear that Su Jinli, who was wearing a wide-sleeved skirt, would fall because she ran too fast.
Su Jinli didn't seem to hear her words, and only ran to Gu Mingjue happily.
And Gu Mingjue, when she called him loudly, saw her, saw her galloping, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and also walked towards her quickly.
It didn't take long for the husband and wife to meet together, Gu Mingjue gently smiled at Su Jinli, who was sweating profusely, and then nodded her forehead covered with crystal sweat beads and said, "They are all children, why are they still so childish?" What should I do if I fall so recklessly? โ
In the face of his concerned accusations, Su Jinli only smiled "hehe" and skipped the topic.
"I didn't have something delicious for you today!" She raised her head and looked at Gu Mingjue with a blank look, looking like she was inviting merit.
"Oh? Then the husband has to taste it! Gu Mingjue was not very interested in eating, but in order not to let his little lady be disappointed, he still cooperated.
After saying that, he took the hands that were still delicate and white, but covered with some red marks, and walked towards the entrance of the mansion together.
After walking a few steps, Gu Mingjue smelled an unfamiliar fragrance, and he was already hungry after being tired all morning, and he swallowed saliva unconsciously.
He looked curiously at the golden flatbread that filled the many baskets, and now he was really interested in eating.
Seeing this, the corners of Su Jinli's lips were slightly poplar, and she said triumphantly: "This is an oil cake made of oil residue!"
While walking, Gu Mingjue continued to ask, "Oh? How did you come up with the idea? โ
This kind of thing has never been seen before by a person who has lived in the cold palace, and a golden and precious woman like Su Jinli will definitely not touch it.
Come to think of it, it was a method she came up with in order to deal with the lack of food in the city.
"It's not me, it's the Blue Charm!" Su Jinli smiled and pointed at Lan Mei.
"Oh!" Gu Mingjue nodded, and then he was speechless.
After the husband and wife walked hand in hand to the steps, Gu Mingjue waved his hand at the elite soldiers standing neatly not far away and said, "First distribute the oil cakes and hot porridge to the people behind you!"
Gu Mingjue is the actual commander of the elite soldiers of the Su family at this moment, his words are military orders, military orders are like mountains, and all the elite soldiers said loudly and meaninglessly: "Yes!"
Then they went forward in an orderly manner and took bread and gave it to the people.
Seeing this, all the people were moved.
These Seven Princes are really good to them! Obviously, he and the elite soldiers were more tired, but he let them eat first......
Thinking about it, they couldn't help but secretly decide that they must work hard to repay the Seven Princes for their kindness to them!
It was already half an hour later when all the people got the bread and served the porridge, and then Gu Mingjue ordered all the elite soldiers to start eating.
After all the elite soldiers had eaten the cake, he started to eat with Su Jinli and Gu Mingyan, who had just left the Zhizhou Mansion.
After eating, Gu Mingjue and Gu Mingyan glanced at each other, and the two of them walked to the center of the people who had finished eating.
Under the admiring gaze of the crowd, he glanced at one of the elite commanders, who walked away briskly with a group of men.
Shao leaned, only to see them escorting Xu Rong, who was tied up with five flowers, and several city lords and guard commanders.
As soon as they saw these people, the people who had just eaten a full meal and smiled with a satisfied face suddenly darkened their faces, and their eyes were full of resentment when they looked at Xu Rong and the others.
Gu Mingjue and Gu Mingyan quietly took in the changes in the people's expressions, and felt that what Su Jinli said was good.
Judging from the way they gritted their teeth, this Xu Rong and the others were afraid that they would be tortured to death! It's a lot more painful than a direct decapitation!
Thinking of this, a trace of cruel killing intent appeared in the eyes of Gu Mingjue and Gu Mingyan.
Soon, Xu Rong and others were escorted to the center.
"Do you know this man?" Gu Mingjue pointed to Xu Rong, who was already trembling, and asked the people around him.
As soon as the words fell, someone spat and said, "It's the dog official Xu Rong!"
Then the rest of the people joined suit.
"Yes, this person is Xu Rong! It is precisely because he has violated the yin and yang and privately withheld the food for disaster relief from the imperial court, so that you will be hungry for so long! It was also he who deceived his superiors and subordinates and colluded with horse thieves to kill and displace your relatives and friends! Gu Mingjue pointed at Xu Rong and said loudly.
Although he tried his best to stay calm, the resentment and coldness in his eyes revealed his emotions, and it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with Xu Rong's behavior!
When the people heard his words, their eyes turned red all of a sudden, and they stared at Xu Rong deadly, waiting for him to deal with this culprit who had caused them so miserable.
He looked around majestically, and then said with a full sense of anger: "Today, this prince and the third emperor brother have decided to hand over Xu Rong and the dog things that followed him to you to deal with!" Kill or chop, it's all up to you! โ
"Really?" The crowd asked in disbelief.
After all, no matter how bastard Xu Rong and the others are, they are also officials of the imperial court in the end, how can they be allowed to be humiliated by these lowly people?
"Really! Now you can have revenge and revenge! Gu Mingjue smiled gently.
After that, the people were still a little timid, looking at each other, and they didn't dare to move.
And over there, Xu Rong, who was dumb and speechless by Gu Mingjue's early order, was staring at Gu Mingjue with desperate eyes at the moment, looking at Gu Mingjue with pleading.
He longed for Gu Mingjue to take back his life, and he knew how much these people who were brutalized by him hated him......
Once someone takes the lead, he will be eaten alive by this group of people!
Just thinking about that picture, he unconsciously shuddered.
In the face of his plea, Gu Mingjue didn't move his eyelids, he glanced at the elite soldiers mixed in the victims, and then, the man took the lead in rushing to the stage and slapped Xu Rong hard.
and spat at Xu Rong and said, "Dog official, my family is ruined!"
