Chapter 10: Beauty Soup
"Dad, I'm hungry."
"Ping'er, I'll have corn porridge to eat in a while, and my father will give you an extra spoonful today."
"Dad, Ping'er only needs half a spoonful. The rest is for the mother. ”
What a sensible child, but it's a pity that he is already a wasted person.
Zhong Wenyuan looked at his empty cuffs and forcibly endured the sourness in his heart.
Early in the morning, there was a queue in Chai Hanzi's camp, and it was time to release grain today.
said that it was to put grain, but in fact, it was just a pot of corn porridge and a pot of wild vegetable soup, which was repetitive and monotonous.
Even so, it is necessary to have private soldiers to maintain order in order to avoid looting.
The difference today is that there is another bite in the pot.
"The soup in the new pot is so delicious!"
"yes, why does it smell so good?"
The homeless people in front of the queue smelled the smell and inhaled vigorously.
He Yuchun only gave the first two pots to the head of the team, and then called the next one to step forward.
"Master Jun, don't you give it to the pot?"
"Next." He Yuchun glared and said, this was specially instructed by Xu Ku.
Seeing that He Yuchun looked fierce, he retreated to the side, but did not leave as usual.
"Master Jun, give me a spoonful of fragrant soup in the pot, the old lady at home is still hungry." The second in line pleaded.
"Next." He Yuchun didn't raise his head.
"Why don't you give fragrant soup? Isn't it just for everyone to share here? I don't know who suddenly shouted.
"yes, do you want to eat alone? It's not easy for everyone to escape! "Someone picked it up right away.
"Split fragrant soup! We want fragrant soup! "This time, most of them were shouting.
He Yuchun was helpless, so he had to give a bowl.
Before the second person had time to drink, the first one reached out and grabbed it.
"This bowl should be mine."
In the scramble, the bowl fell to the ground.
The people behind cast resentful glances at these two people, as if they had spilled their own soup.
"Owner, what do you think about the distribution of food according to the head now?"
Xu Ku had an expression of what I said.
Chai Bancheng's face was a little bad.
Thinking of those private soldiers who were still hungry, my heart was like a stone.
He slammed the cigarette pouch and pot vigorously and strode onto the stage.
"A bowl of soup fights for eggs." Chai Bancheng said coldly.
"The brother who helped my Chai family soldiers set up a tent the day before yesterday came forward."
After all, it is the owner, and the characters who also walked sideways in the state when Chuzhou was not broken are quite majestic.
The crowd died down in an instant, and several men looked at each other and walked out of the team to get closer.
"Brother Xu's family, please serve soup to these brothers."
Hearing this, Wei Hongluan stepped forward and stirred the soup pot.
Su Mu added salt to the soup pot in front of everyone.
The wild vegetable soup with oil is already fragrant, and with the addition of salt, the umami makes some people swallow their saliva.
A few people who got the fragrant soup cast envious eyes.
"Chai's eyes lit up, he didn't say it before, it was only because the oil that Brother Tuo Xu got arrived last night."
Chai Bancheng Road.
Not to mention the outcast, he smelled this soup hungry.
glanced at Su Mu, and made a small calculation in his heart.
Brother Xu, this sister-in-law's skills are really good.
It would be better to find an opportunity to ask if you would like to be a chef of the Chai family, and if you are willing to stay by your side as a private chef.
The eldest sister-in-law is Su Mu's current identity, and this soup cooking kung fu has been practiced all year round, and the vegetable leaves are soft and glutinous.
According to what had been discussed earlier, Qin Huai took a step forward at the right time.
"If you come to the owner's mountain, you have to do what the owner says."
"From now on, those who have contributed will not treat everyone badly. If you don't make any effort, there is still the usual vegetable soup, and the millet porridge is halved. ”
"If you are not convinced, you can leave, as long as you stay, you must follow this rule."
Loud and sound.
The homeless people were silent for a while, and then they all nodded.
Leave? I'm afraid I'll go hungry in two days.
If you encounter a brute again, you will only die.
Before fleeing, they were all poor and laborious, and they did things if they wanted to eat more, and they understood the truth as soon as they said it.
Chai Bancheng looked at it usefully, and secretly gave Xu Ku a thumbs up.
The homeless people were curious, who could be called a brother by the Chai Dong family?
……
"It's not convenient for you, so let's drink it here."
Wei Hongluan's clear spring-like voice floated in.
Zhong Wenyuan was afraid that people would dislike him and drive him away, and his mother-in-law and baby would starve. It was the hardest work to set up the account that day.
Hurriedly let the little baby go to the ground and take a big sip from the bowl.
It's really oil! This scent is really oil!
Zhong Wenyuan's eyes widened.
Not to mention fleeing, even if I haven't eaten a few meals with rape at home before. I subconsciously wanted to drink it again, but I didn't take a bite after all.
"I'm full."
Zhong Wenyuan whispered thanks, picked up the little baby and was about to leave.
"Brother, let's finish drinking, I'll give the child another one."
Xu Ku picked up the empty bowl, picked a thick scoop and handed over a full bowl. Zhong Wenyuan struggled and didn't answer.
"Little brother, how can you share this fragrant soup in private, the owner will be weird when you see it."
This man is really sincere.
Just listened to Chai Bancheng's whisper, this Zhong Wenyuan was originally the flag officer in his father's Chai Three Tigers Army, and he was strong and upright.
He folded his hand when he was on the border, and originally wanted to include private soldiers. But the knot in his heart just couldn't be opened, so he went back to the countryside to farm.
This time I entered the evacuation team, and I would rather be hungry than ask for help. It was only when I stood close that I recognized him.
"It's not for you, I'll have a hard job in two days. You have to be willing to do it, this bowl of soup is for free. There are six coins of silver after finishing the work. ”
Xu said with a bitter smile.
With the temperament of the other party, unwarranted charity will be annoying.
"Ahh What the little brother said is true? Zhong Wenyuan exhaled in disbelief.
He was given six pieces of silver for his full meal.
That's more than half a month of hard work on a normal day.
"My brothers have also heard it, and there is Lao to help me breathe the wind. If the bank is a fisherman's woodcutter's willingness, add two pennies to the silver. ”
Xu Ku said to the few people who had the oil and vegetable soup.
"Brothers, are you saying that kid is reliable? I think he's a jailer, and he's got all that money? ”
On the way back, the discussion continued.
"You know the egg, what's wrong with the jailer? He was the one who raised the lamp to worship the mountain last night, and he saw that this posture was done. ”
Said the man in the cloth who watched the excitement last night.
"I became a staff member of the Chai family at such a young age, and my words must count."
"I'll have to bring my cousin in, he's a fisherman."
"If you want me to say, it's still the Xu brother of the Chai Dong family who is powerful, and there is chaos outside, so he just got oil."
Enthusiasm is high.
Only Zhong Wenyuan was silent all the way, touching the small oil bottle that Xu Ku secretly stuffed into him, and there seemed to be a fire in his heart.
"Dad, what did that uncle give me just now?" Zhong Ping asked in a milky voice.
"Righteous anger." Zhong Wenyuan said softly.
……
The displaced people had dispersed, and Xu Ku sat by the iron pot, warming himself by the firewood that had just been extinguished.
"Xu Ku, I left a bowl of oil soup for you."
Wei Hongluan helped him put out some pot bottoms, just now divided the soup, and kept more vegetable leaves in private.
"Don't deduct it from your future salary, only drink the small ones." Xu said bitterly, smiling very sunnyly.
"It's getting more and more flamboyant, Su Mu has left you salt, it's up to you whether you let it go or not."
Putting down the bowl, Wei Hongluan turned around to find Su Mu and Qiu Niang to meet, and after a while, the ladies were going to dig up tomorrow's wild vegetables.
This Chai Hanzi's escape team really has a bit of a nest taste.
Thinking like this, Xu Ku tilted his neck and drank the soup without a trickle.
"Damn, I said that the prime minister is guarding the pot, it turns out that he left you oil soup."
Hu Xiaodao held the big bowl in his hand and said depressedly, it turned out that He Yuchun knew that he had a lot of strength to eat, so he deliberately changed the big bowl.
I wanted to show off, but when I saw the soup with Xu Ku's ingredients, I immediately felt that the soup in my bowl was not fragrant.
"Do you know Brother Ku? You're on fire. The tent calls this soup beautiful soup. ”
Beauty soup?
It makes sense. Tang Mei, people are more beautiful.
"Brother Ku, I'm really convinced of you. Even the prime minister and the summer envoy can hold back. ”
"Sometimes I really want to be stepped on by a horse to see if I can become like you." Hu Xiaodao said deliciously.
Xu Ku unceremoniously gave him a crutch.
"This bowl of soup can't stop your mouth. You rot in my stomach with these words. ”
Whoever stopped whom, was just tied together by this messy situation.
"Let's go, Knife, accompany me to the back of Wanquan Mountain."
"If memory serves, there's some good stuff out there."
