Chapter 42 The desert is lonely and the sun sets
Tang Qing paused slightly, and began to count the benefits of the border pass again, "However, I really like the customs here, not only meat to eat but also wine to drink, eating is not a big problem." Kindness...... The natural landscape here is also good, there are blue sky and white clouds, the air is also very good, and most importantly, there is no nuclear pollution, this is simply a paradise on earth! ”
Wei Chen listened to the black lines in his head, comparing the bitter cold border to a paradise on earth, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not joking, right?
What is river pollution? This radius is full of the Gobi Desert, and it would be nice to find a small stream, where did the river come from?
"In fact, except for the disadvantage of having to fight with the Huns, there is nothing wrong with me coming to Yumen Pass this time."
Tang Qing carefully analyzed the pros and cons of Sima Qingyun's insistence on going out with the army, and couldn't help but sigh heartily, compared to the hard life of her previous life, she crossed over here this time It can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune, so she can eat and drink without worry, even if she wants to fight, it is a war in the era of cold weapons, unlike the end of the world, a nuclear war can destroy the entire earth.
Thinking about it like this, Tang Qing also had a balance in her heart, no matter what, she now has a new life, everything can start again, and she believes that tomorrow will be even better!
Wei Chen couldn't understand where Tang Qing's satisfaction came from, so he thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was making fun in suffering, so why did he bother to pierce it. Not to mention anything else, it is a good thing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can maintain such an optimistic attitude in the face of the huge pressure around him.
……
As night fell, smoke curled up in the barracks in the city of Kawakug, and everyone began to prepare for today's dinner.
The desert is lonely, the sun sets on the long river, and every time there is only a fire in the military camp for cooking, this barren Gobi Desert rarely has a few traces of popularity.
As the most important military town in the border fortress of the Great Jin Dynasty, Hecang City covers an area of not much and is not small, with about 3,000 soldiers regularly stationed in the city, plus some people who live here with their families, the number of residents in the whole city is about 4,000.
Hecang City has an excellent geographical location, belongs to the type of easy to defend and difficult to attack, and is backed by Hanhai Devil City as a natural natural barrier, so even if the resources in the city are abundant, the Huns do not dare to attack easily, as long as the soldiers who defend the city ensure that the city gate is not broken, the Huns will not be pleased.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's getting late, I'm afraid we won't be able to go back to the barracks today, the wind and sand in Hanhai Devil City at night are too big to walk, so let's rest in Hecang City for one night, and let's go again tomorrow morning." Wei Chen looked at the red sun on the horizon and proposed.
"Okay, okay, then we'll stay here for one night." Tang Qing naturally didn't have any opinions, she had already smelled the smell of meat wafting from the city at this time, as long as she could manage the food, it wouldn't be a problem where she lived. (Where's your discipline?) ==)
The two went down the city tower, Tang Qing followed the smell of meat into the defenders' firehead camp, the camp was full of soldiers queuing up to receive food, the big guy saw the prince and General Wei coming over, they got up and saluted the two, the scene was a little shocking, it really made Tang Qing have the illusion that he was the big leader in the parade......
"It smells so good! What is this little brother cooking? Tang Qing stepped forward and looked at the meat boiling in the cauldron and asked curiously.
"The villain has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Wei." The soldier in charge of lighting the fire was really startled when he saw the comer, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted the two, "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the villain is cooking beef." ”
"It turned out to be beef, not bad, when will it be out of the pot? Bring me a bowl too. ”
"Huh? …… This ...... "The young man has been blinded, which one is His Royal Highness the Prince?" You actually want to eat a big pot of rice with these little soldiers? Is he agreeing now, not agreeing, this is completely beyond his ability?
Seeing that the little brother didn't respond for a long time, Tang Qing was a little depressed, it seems that it is not easy to beg for food even when he is the prince these days...... (You two don't think about the same channel at all...... Hehehe)
"Little brother, are you afraid that Prince Ben and everyone will grab food, so you are not willing to share a bowl of beef with me? Then I'll take a bite, don't worry, I promise to only taste one bite! ”
In the end, Tang Qing made a concession, although it was really unreasonable for her to ask someone to give her a part of other people's rations so abruptly, but it shouldn't be much of a loss to let her taste it, this little brother wouldn't be a miser, right?
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forgives the sin, the villain doesn't dare, the villain is not, that's not what it means, the villain...... The villain ...... "was deducted from a big hat by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for no reason, and the little brother of the fire man was directly frightened and incoherent.
Conscience of heaven and earth! Even if he was given a thousand guts, he wouldn't dare not give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince food!
"Huh? So what do you mean, can you let me taste a bite of beef, little brother, you have to give me a quasi-talk. Tang Qing was a little anxious, why was it so difficult for her to communicate with people every time?!
Seeing that the colorful and fragrant beef in the pot seemed to be beckoning to her, she really wanted to taste it!
"Villain...... The villain ...... "Brother Huofu is still too nervous and can't organize the language normally.
Wei Chen stood aside and listened to the conversation between the two bulls and horses, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he kindly opened his mouth to relieve the bewildered little brother of the fireman, "You get up first, and prepare one for His Royal Highness the Prince." Suddenly remembering that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's previous meal seemed to be quite large, Wei Chen paused for a moment and then changed his words: "Wait, prepare two." "(General Wei, you underestimate our Royal Highness the Prince!) )
"Yes, yes! Prepare two copies for me and General Wei, and ask for large portions. Since General Wei had spoken, Tang Qing thought that she didn't need to be polite, so she opened her mouth decisively.
The little brother of the fireman was sure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really not joking with him, and hurriedly got up to prepare beef for these two nobles.
After a while, four bowls full of braised beef were served to Tang Qing and Wei Chen, all of which were selected with excellent meat quality and even fat and lean parts.
Looking at the braised beef in the bowl with an attractive color, Tang Qing's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to move his chopsticks.
The red marinade has been slowly boiled into the meat during the stew, and when you bite into it, the beef melts in your mouth, and the delicious marinade bursts in your mouth, giving the taste buds a special taste feast.
"Delicious!"
Tang Qing was satisfied, and his two eyes smiled into two crooked crescents, which made Wei Chen's heart move inexplicably.
After the first piece of beef was eaten, Tang Qing's chopsticks never stopped, and with just one cup of tea, he swept away all the four servings of braised beef from General Wei, and he was still unsatisfied with his mouth.
However, such a nonsensical way of eating Haisai really made Wei Chen and the guy look stupid.
Wei Chen had seen how well His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had eaten, and he was mentally prepared, but today he was still taken aback by His Royal Highness the Prince's astonishing amount of food.
Although the food at the border pass is poor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be fine clothes and jade food every day in Chang'an City, if every meal is so "hearty", how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still be so thin?
Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is hungry every day in Chang'an? That's why you came to the border to eat a lot? Wei Chen was not embarrassed by his own thoughts.
The little brother of the fire man was stunned and looked at the four big bowls that were empty all of a sudden, and the shock in his heart was also incomprehensible, don't look at His Royal Highness the Prince's thin body but the amount of food is amazing, this meal actually eats more than their generals!
How exactly did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do it? These four big bowls of beef are in the belly, doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feel panicked?
Brother Huofu can't help but worry that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will become the first prince in history to eat and die with such a deadly way of eating? (You're enough, too!) ==)
Ay...... This is a long story, xenomorphs consume energy much faster than ordinary humans, and they usually need to ingest several times more energy than ordinary people to maintain normal vital signs, so it is common for xenos to feel hungry easily, so xenomorphs naturally need more food than ordinary people.
