The emperor took Rong Yunxi to the mountain to break the branches, naturally he would not go too far, and only broke a few trees at the foot of the mountain. In early summer, he had brought the spices and cakes under the wagon, and went to the tent, and smelled them with his mouth by the light of the oil lamp in the tent. After figuring out all the spices, he waited excitedly for the emperor and the young lady to come back with branches.

It suddenly occurred to me that these broken branches were not dry firewood, and they must not be easy to burn, and I wanted them to pick up some branches on the ground, but the young lady and the emperor had already come back with two handfuls of branches. And both of them were in high spirits.

I guess the two of them didn't really want to bake and eat because they were hungry, they just wanted to have fun. So I didn't remind them. Anyway, can you finally light a fire? Let's have fun!

The two men were indeed very happy, and when they had brought back the dry wood, they began to build a fire in high spirits...... It's just that neither of the two has ever done this work, and it took a long time of effort to build it, and it's really a "bunch......

Chu Xia felt that as a slave, he was watching like this, but the two masters were working, wasn't it good? But seeing that although the two of them have tried and failed repeatedly, they have failed again and again, and they really can't bear to disturb them. I can only continue to watch......

After a while, the two of them somehow suddenly found the trick. After finding the trick, after a short time, the fire was set up, and in a decent way, on both sides of the fire, where the fire could not be burned, two branches were erected, and a slightly thinner branch was pierced in the middle, and a shelf was erected.

"Miss, you're amazing!" Early Summer stepped forward, put the cake in his hand in front of Rong Yunxi, and carefully placed the spice box. introduced Rong Yunxi in turn: "Miss, the slave maid has tasted it just now, the blue embroidered lily is salt, the pink embroidered peony and butterfly is pepper, the blue embroidered mandarin duck is cumin, the yellow embroidered azalea and azalea is chili powder, the cyan embroidered alpine white cloud is white sugar, these two gray embroidered Huai opera faces, the old student is angelica powder, and the Tsing Yi is bay leaves. ”

"Not bad", Rong Yunxi said with a smile, "With these things, how delicious our scones are!" ”

"Hurry up and skewer, saliva is going to flow out...... the emperor urged.

"Hey! Here comes the slave and the maid! At the beginning of the summer, he took down the thin wooden stick that had been placed on the shelf, and carefully threaded the scones up. Fortunately, the branches are thin enough that the scones can be worn flat twice, in and out of the ground, so that they will not hang on the branches without seasoning.

It's just that the branches are a little too thin, and Chu Xia instructed: "Miss, when we roast it in a while, we must not let the fire burn, otherwise it will all burn!" ”

"Don't worry, it's so far away, it can't be burned." Rong Yunxi affirmed.

"Miss, when you were in the frontier before, you ate something roasted over fire, right?" Early summer road.

"Of course I've eaten ......it," Rong Yunxi said, "It's just that I was too young at that time, and I forgot what it tasted like!" You forget, you were still there. During the training, the soldiers beat a wild goat, saying that it was roasted and eaten, and the two of us also joined in the fun, and the result was that we all vomited and vomited! ”

"I remembered, I remembered!" Chu Xia said excitedly, "If Miss doesn't say it, the slave will almost forget!" Yes, yes, we did eat what was roasted by the fire! It's just that...... Uh......"

Even though many years have passed and I have almost forgotten it, I still feel a surge in my stomach when I think about it! The mouth is also slimy, and the nose is full of mutton smell......

Chu Xia barely suppressed the urge to vomit, and frowned: "Miss still can't remember it...... It doesn't taste great......"

As he spoke, he felt sick again, but he didn't dare to say any more, he didn't even dare to think about it!

Rong Yunxi also recalled the feeling at the time, and couldn't help but feel nauseous, and forced it down. Road; "After that, they won't allow me to eat these fire-roasted things with them, and once I'm here, Zhun Bao just sits around the yard and eats side dishes, which is really boring."

"Huh...... But it's really lucky, the slave doesn't dare to think about that taste anymore. I don't know how the soldiers can eat so deliciously! Chu Xia said, shaking his body and shaking off the goosebumps on the ground.

Rong Yunxi also swept with her arms crossed, and her heart palpitated...... staring at this skewer of good baked cakes, I suddenly lost interest.

"Yunxi, so you can roast? You bake it and make it delicious! "I heard Rong Yunxi and Chu Xia talking about the frontier, and the emperor suddenly became an outsider, so he was lost. As soon as he found a vacancy, he hurriedly intervened to draw attention to his presence.

"I won't...... It was only when they finished telling us to go out of the tent to eat, and they said that it was roasted over the fire, and I found out. Rong Yunxi said.

"It's boring!" The emperor was originally gathered by Rong Yunxi's side, and when he heard Rong Yunxi say this, he suddenly hid a few steps away, and said in disgust: "Why don't you learn more?" ”

"I didn't expect to marry you in the future, who can't do anything! If I had married your second brother at the time, I wouldn't have to bake it now! ”

"Then you'll have to eat roast goat!" The emperor said.

As soon as he heard the emperor talk about roasting goats, Rong Yunxi was nauseous again. Frowning, he pressed it a few times before he suppressed the disgusting.

"Get out of here!"

I just felt that my sanity was a little more stable, but I was pushed away by the emperor again, and I was almost pushed down by him.

"What are you doing?" Rong Yunxi held his hands on the ground to stabilize himself, and said angrily.

"Watch your husband bake you delicious pancakes! Wait until you eat it and you'll know it's right to marry me! Not only do I save you from having to eat roast goat, I can also make you eat something better than roast goat! ”

"You're ...... Don't talk about it......" Rong Yunxi pressed his hand against his chest and shook his hand to the emperor.

Hatsu also clutched her throat, as if vomit was about to pour out.

"Scones must be better than roasting goats! It's true! Scones are different from roasted goats, they are made of noodles, and they don't have so much oil and smell......"

"Vomiting ......" In early summer, I couldn't help it, so I ran away quickly and vomited.

Originally, Rong Yunxi was fine, but when he heard the sound of vomiting in early summer, he couldn't help it and rushed out.

"Hey......" The emperor shook his head and said, "Why are you so unfocused......"

After saying that, he was also trembling. Swallowed saliva...... Just think about it, you know how ...... it tasted at the time Ah, I can't think about it!

But Yunxi said that the soldiers at that time said that it was delicious...... Thinking about it, it is not just because the soldiers are heroic, I am afraid that the training is too weekdays, and there is not enough meat to nourish the body, and occasionally I catch a sheep, so I naturally think it tastes good.

It seems that the amount of silver issued by the imperial court is still not enough. And Rongcheng is okay, because there is a second brother here, even if the relevant yamen wants to rip it off layer by layer, they don't dare to rip Rongcheng's military salary. But what about other places? I'm afraid it's not as good as Rongcheng.

In the past, the father paid more attention to the officials and generals who were the leaders in each yamen, rather than those little minions and small soldiers, as long as he made sure that the big fish were focused on the sea, as for those small shrimps, they were not important to the father. But he sees it differently.

In fact, the king is not like the sea, but the people are. The people are like the king of the sea like a ship, and the sea can carry a ship and sink a ship. The small shrimp in these yamen, between the officials and the people, are naturally more important than those complete "officials".

In particular, the soldiers in the border areas, far away from their homeland, shed their blood for the country and protect the peace and well-being of the country, should be treated by the imperial court more and must not be ignored for such a long time.

You don't see the head of Qinghai, and no one collects the ancient white bones. The new ghost is annoyed and the old ghost is crying, and the sky is cloudy and rainy, and the wet voice is chirping.

If it really comes to the day when the loess gathers the white bones, it will be too late for him to do anything to make up for it.

The soldiers all carried their heads to live, and they could not tell if they would die in a hundred battles one day. While they can still eat good food and drink good wine, they must not be bitter.

Rong Yunxi finished vomiting, but felt that the discomfort caused by the bumps in the carriage on the road was all eliminated, but his body was light and comfortable. When he returned to the fire, he was about to complain to the emperor, but he saw that the emperor was looking at the flames, and he pondered solemnly, the cakes were about to be baked by him!

It was too late to deal with him, so he hurriedly turned the thin wooden branch around and turned the cake over.

"Yunxi, you help me remember something, after returning to Beijing, I have to explain that this year, a large amount of meat will be stored in the ice well under Mengshan Mountain, and some pigs, cattle and sheep will be saved, and when the weather is cold and frozen in winter, it will not be easy to spoil, so I will send people to send it to the soldiers in various frontiers to ensure that they can have enough meat to eat. lest if the silver taels are issued, they will be exploited by the passing yamen layer by layer. "The emperor said.

Rong Yunxi saw that he was serious, and his eyes couldn't help but show a look of approval, and a little admiration. But he smiled and said: "Instead of spending all this effort, why not rectify the rule of officials, but they don't dare to be greedy anymore." ”

The emperor really cares about the country and the people, it is just a random joke of theirs, and the emperor can think of the misery of the soldiers at the border gates, if he does not always put the people of the mountains and rivers in his heart, he will never have such an association. The emperor is for Mingjun, and Rong Yunxi never doubted it. But every time I see his benevolent actions, I still feel quite a lot in my heart.

If it was Feng Beilin who won the victory, I don't know what the situation would be like in the Wind Country at this time.

"It's not so easy to rectify. It's okay for the military department, but under my nose, it's easy to straighten it out. However, everywhere at the border, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so it is indispensable to have more things that violate the yang and the yin. Rong Cheng didn't have to worry about the guards and Fu Yin joining forces to swallow it privately, but in other places, he didn't dare to protect it. It is impossible to make the whole country's officialdom right. The best result is to make them less greedy because of their fear of me. But even if you want this result, you have to use it for three or five years. "The emperor said.

Rong Yunxi gently stroked his hand and said with relief: "Take your time......"

The emperor smiled bitterly and said, "But now in this situation, I'm afraid that if I don't rectify this officialdom, the war will already start." The soldiers went to the battlefield, and even though they won the battle, they could not all come back unharmed. I was afraid that on the day they died on the battlefield, I didn't even eat a full meal of meat rewarded by the imperial court...... If I meet them under the Nine Springs, what face will I have to face them? ”

Rong Yunxi didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so she could only stay by his side quietly.

How many people have fought in ancient times?

As long as there is a big war together, all the good days in this world will come to an end. At this time, such a quiet time is really rare before this world of great contention.
