The standard of dining for generals is certainly different from that of ordinary soldiers.

There is no doubt about that!

Since Huo Guang came to the barracks, he has been going to eat at General Wei Qing's, but he has never eaten the meals of ordinary soldiers.

Now listen to Lin Yaoqing's suggestion.

Huo Guang was also interested, and said, "Okay, then ask someone to bring me a meal for ordinary soldiers and soldiers." ”

Hear the words.

Yan Xiao hurriedly shook his head and said, "Captain Huo, don't."

"Can't? What can't you do? ”

Huo Guang frowned and stared at Yan Xiao, he knew that the more Yan Xiao was like this, the more something would happen here.

As for what it is?

Simple!

It's clear if you stab him.

At this moment, Yan Xiao, who was questioned by Huo Guang, had to shake his head lightly and said: "Captain Huo, you are a captain, what you should eat is the food that a thousand-level general should eat, there is no need to taste the military food of ordinary soldiers!" ”

Hear the words.

Huo Guang immediately said: "As a captain, you should have the determination to share weal and woe with the soldiers, but you just eat the same food as the soldiers, why not!" ”

Speaking of which.

Yan Xiao couldn't say anything more.

For a moment, no one spoke. The atmosphere in the small tent became a little oppressive.

It wasn't until the subordinate soldiers brought the meals they usually ate in the barracks that Huo Guang opened his mouth and asked Lin Yaoqing, "Uncle Lin, is this food right?" ”

Lin Yaoqing stepped forward, looked at the bowl of rice on the table, and after making sure that it was not filled with good, he nodded and said, "Yes, Captain Huo, this is the food, you can taste how unpalatable it is!" ”

Huo Guang glanced at the ordinary soldier's meal.

Subsequently.

picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat, but Yan Xiao said again at this time: "Captain Huo, your heart is good to share weal and woe with the soldiers, but this food is really not delicious." You can chew it twice in your mouth, but you must not swallow it. ”

"It's not easy to digest, it's easy to accumulate food!"

"Noble people like us are not born to suffer from this fate, don't be embarrassed for yourself!"

Elegant? Hehe, pretentious people are pretty much the same.

Huo Guang shook his head slightly, ignoring Yan Xiao's words, looking at the bowl of multigrain rice in front of him, and thinking about something in his heart.

What are cereals?

Grains are.

But in the bowl of rice in front of him, it was not that kind of miscellaneous grain, but food with acrobatic skills.

For example, brown rice.

This is a kind of rice that is not very tasty to eat.

But if it's all brown rice, then forget it, after all, brown rice is also a good food in this era.

Han dynasty.

Rice cultivation is not yet the main food crop, and the mainstream is still corn as the staple food in the pre-Qin period.

But corn is also the food eaten by people in this era, and it is not unpalatable.

But there was wheat mixed with wheat bran.

That's right!

It's wheat that makes flour!

And to illustrate, the color of flour in ancient times was grayish-white, not pure white now.

This is the rice category.

As for the dish, it is boiled soybeans, and even some blackened.

Soybeans were also a staple food in the Han Dynasty.

The whole world has recognized that the origin of soybeans came from the Central Plains.

Looking at this kind of food, Huo Guang finally understood why Lin Yaoqing and Yan Xiao said that the food eaten by ordinary soldiers was pig food.

Such food.

Since he came to Chang'an, he has never eaten it again.

He frowned slightly.

Huo Guang picked up the bowl and chopsticks, pulled a mouthful and chewed it carefully. At the same time, he still closed his eyes, as if he were savoring.

Actually, let's be honest.

In this bowl of rice, if there is no wheat with wheat bran, it will be okay to eat.

After Huo Guang chewed a few times, he swallowed the food in one gulp, and at the same time continued to take a big bite to pull up the food, and then continued to chew carefully until the bowl of food was finished.

There was no hard time on his face.

After eating this bowl of rice.

Huo Guang looked at Lin Yaoqing and Yan Xiao, and said lightly: "It's okay, as long as this military ration is in it, don't put that wheat in the future!" ”

"Even if you use hemp seeds instead, it's better than wheat."

"Of course."

"If you get rid of the wheat bran, you can't say no!"

Speaking of this, Huo Guang paused, thinking that in fact, wheat bran was also one of the ancient foods. At the same time, it is also a very valuable medicinal material, so he continued: "If the wheat bran is cooked and rotten in a fire, it is not afraid, but it is a pity that it is not done." ”

"That's what makes it unpalatable."

"It's just that I don't quite understand, why do you call this pig food?"

"Do you know, what do the pigs that my family raised when I was a child usually eat?"

"Huh."

"I don't think you'll be interested."

After Huo Guang finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on his face. At this moment, Yan Xiao and Lin Yaoqing were speechless.

Seeing that the two were silent.

Huo Guang asked again: "I'm curious, what do you eat from, and what kind of family do you grow up in?" ”

At this time.

Yan Dao: "Captain Huo, I have lived in Chang'an since I was a child, I don't know if you have heard of the Yan family, my ancestor was Yan Ying of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period!" ”

Yan Baby?

Is that the doctor of Qi who killed three soldiers with two peaches!

It was indeed a famous historical figure.

However, whether this Yan Xiaojia deliberately clinged to it, Huo Guang is not clear. But one thing is certain, Yan Xiao is indeed good at snacks, there is no doubt about it.

Born in Chang'an, naturally it will not be bad.

Like when Huo Guang was a child, in a small place like Pingyang County, eating bran vegetables was commonplace.

Therefore, although the food in this army is poor, he accepts it.

When Yan finished, Lin Yaoqing said: "My ancestors were not born to any big people, and they are not a prominent family. When my father was alive, he was a ranger, and he couldn't eat anything good! ”

Can't eat anything good?

How can a person who can't eat anything good say that this grain is pig food!

It can only be said that the situation of the rangers' family is worse than the life of the nobles in Chang'an City, but it is definitely better than the life of the poor people.

After all, the ranger is to put it bluntly, what he does is to "take people's money and eliminate disasters with people".

The remuneration is not low, otherwise why would so many people join the ranks of rangers.

Are they really here to do chivalrous deeds?

Hehe!

Ordinary people.

Throughout the year, there are no more than corn, soybeans, and brown rice. There was porridge, but they couldn't eat it.

After the two of them finished reporting their family background.

Huo Guang nodded lightly and said, "I understand, it's normal for a family like yours not to be able to eat this kind of food." ”

"Then again."

"This meal is edible, but it doesn't meet army regulations. It stands to reason that the money used by the court for the army will not be enough to buy the most inferior food! ”

"When you are a soldier and fights, if you don't say anything else, who doesn't want to eat a good meal?"

"But the food is so bad, the soldiers have complaints, and the captain understands it."

"Then here's the problem."

"Why is this food so bad? Is it swallowed by the cooks in the army, or is it exploited by the court at all levels, and when you get to the army, you can only buy such food? ”

Hearing this, Lin Yaoqing shook his head lightly and said, "What does it have to do with the cook, who doesn't know, this matter."

Lin Yaoqing didn't finish his words.

Yan Xiao scolded: "Uncle Lin, be careful of the trouble that comes out of your mouth!" ”

was scolded by Yan Xiao, Lin Yaoqing seemed to have thought of something, so he closed his mouth and was silent.

But this is for Huo Guang.

Undoubtedly, he was even more interested, so he asked, "Oh, do you know anything else?" Why don't you dare to say it, just say it? Maybe I'll be able to sort this out for you. ”

However.

After these words, Lin Yaoqing did not choose to say what he knew.

Yan Xiao was playing haha on the side.

Seeing this, Huo Guang smiled faintly in his heart and said, "Okay, since you two don't say it, then I won't ask." However, I tell you, I will use all my connections to cancel the wine and food above the rank of lieutenant, and give me all the food of this ordinary soldier when the time comes. ”

"Including old generals like Cheng Buzhi and General Li Guang."

"You have to give me this kind of food, and share weal and sorrow with the soldiers!"

"I don't think they're going to say anything, are they?"

There is no alcohol in the food above the captain, but there is no shortage of meat and eggs.

Even the higher you go, the better you eat.

Old generals like Cheng Buzhi and Li Guang, who are in charge of the soldiers of the first army, have 5,000 cavalry under them, how can the food be bad?

So after hearing this!

Lin Yaoqing's eyes lit up first, as if he had discovered a new continent, full of anticipation.

Yan Xiao's face was ugly, he walked up to Huo Guang and asked, "Captain Huo, this kind of thing is too big to look at." If you really want to know, I can whisper to you! ”

Whisper?

Huo Guang glanced at Yan Xiao curiously, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded.

Thereupon.

Yan pee over, covered his mouth with his hand and whispered to Huo Guang about the matter.

However.

In a flash.

Huo Guang scolded: "Wei family, you mean my uncle's family, what nonsense are you talking about!" ”

Yan Xiao whispered just now, but he was so angry.

Boy.

Swallow melon seeds and get a bed bug, and check the case and find your own head!

Although he has no blood relationship with the Wei family, because of his brother, he has a strip of water. It can be said to be a relationship of both prosperity and loss.

How can you tolerate the other side saying that?

Let alone!

The Wei family is the most honorable relative of the Han Dynasty, and it is the family of Empress Wei, how could they do such a thing.

Yan Xiao heard Huo Guang's scolding, and immediately said nervously: "Captain Huo, you have to be quiet, this is heard by people outside, it's not a good thing!" ”

Isn't it a good thing?

Then it's a good thing that you're spreading rumors?

No matter what, Huo Guang would not believe that the Wei family would covet such a small bargain and deduct the army's salary!

Thereupon.

Huo Guang immediately said: "Don't talk nonsense here, I believe that the general's character will not do such a thing." ”

"Also, where did you know that?"

"Say, don't say it, the captain of this school will punish the two of you first."

Seeing Huo Guang angry, this Yan Xiao regretted talking too much at this moment.

He didn't expect that.

A Huo lieutenant, a Huo hussar, both brothers have a temper.

Don't listen to people's sycophants!

I was obviously reminded with good intentions, why did I have to punish myself for my own sins?

Thinking of this, Yan Xiao immediately didn't dare to speak, the so-called saying is too wrong, and not saying it at this moment is the best way.

He wasn't involved in it anyway.

Even if something happens, his family can keep himself.

At this moment, Lin Yaoqing, who had been promoted to Dubo by Huo Guang, saw that Yan Xiao didn't dare to speak, so he immediately laughed and said, "Captain Huo, he doesn't say it, I say!" ”

"This matter of deducting food and salary, among ordinary soldiers in the army, it is rumored that the Wei family did it."

"After all, there is a Huo Hussar in the North Battalion, and a General Wei in the South Battalion."

"The army is the Yiyantang of the Wei family, if something like this happens, how can it be divorced from the Wei family!"

"Of course!"

"I also believe that the character of the general and Huo Hucai can't do these things."

"Because there is no evidence, these are rumors circulating in the army."

After hearing these remarks, Huo Guang glanced at Yan Xiao again.

And Yan Xiao lowered his head and said nothing.

Huo Guang retracted his gaze, and then said directly: "In the army, it is not a good thing to have such remarks. Especially in this season when war against the Xiongnu is about to start at any time, we must not be careless. ”

"So I decided."

"Tomorrow, we must let those high-ranking generals also taste the food of this ordinary soldier."

Yan Xiao, who didn't speak on the side, hurriedly opened his mouth to dissuade him when he heard this: "Captain Huo, don't do it, if you mess around like this, you will make a big deal of it, and you won't be able to end it then." ”

Huo Guang snorted and said with a smile: "What I want is that things are big and can't be closed." ”

"I'd like to see!"

"Who is Xiaoxiao, who is deducting military rations and framing the Wei family!"

Speaking of this, Huo Guang got up, walked to Yan Xiao and Lin Yaoqing, and looked around the two of them.

Ultimately.

Ben was going to say something, but after thinking about it, he decided not to say it. Waving his hand, he said, "Okay, the original intention of calling you here was to let you get to know each other, since you are both old acquaintances, then it's okay, go out!" ”

"No!"

"No!"

The two of them walked out of Huo Guang's lieutenant's camp one after another.

Just a short time later.

Lin Yaoqing went and returned, and walked back to the camp.

This made Huo Guang frown a little puzzled, and asked, "Why are you back again?" ”

Lin Yaoqing arched his hand and said: "Captain Huo, I think that instead of making a big deal and not ending well, it is better to wait for the general to come back and inform the general of this matter." ”

"You and I both believe in the general's character!"

"Why don't you trust the general to settle this matter?"

Hearing Lin Yaoqing's advice, Huo Guang smiled slightly, very pleased.

But still unmoved.

First of all.

The general Wei Qing was detained by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, and when he came back, he didn't count. When this matter is resolved by him, I am afraid it is also unknown.

Secondly.

Huo Guang is not a saint, he is just a captain, and he shouldn't care about this military ration.

If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government.

Who knows if this is because someone in the army is deducting military salaries, or when the imperial court approves funds, they are already being exploited layer by layer?

To know!

Up and down for 5,000 years.

Technology is advancing, but human nature has never changed.

It's normal to deduct from top to bottom.

This can be regarded as a very normal thing, just like the Jingshi warehouse in Chang'an City, usually the grain looks piled up, but when it comes to wartime, it is empty, and the imperial court sends people to investigate, and it will be burned in the event of a fire.

What a classic!

The context is so clear.

It's so clear that it's outrageously terrifying.

But it's all so grandiose, isn't it?

Therefore, Huo Guang patted Lin Yaoqing on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Actually, I didn't think about taking this matter seriously, if the captain of this school was more serious, he wouldn't have swallowed that bowl of food in front of you." ”

"Uncle Lin, what about my captain, you know, I still have the hundred people under my command who were transferred to me by the original general."

"The name doesn't live up to it!"

"Now in the Nanda camp, all affairs are controlled by those old generals, and none of the soldiers I want will be transferred to me."

"There's always going to be a reason for this!"
