Chapter 1130: History is always strikingly similar

After breakfast, the leaders of the cooking class walked out of the camp with the barrels, and they went to "take out" the garbage.

The garbage area was divided yesterday, and in fact some of it was poured out for dinner yesterday, and then it was picked up by some poor people near this dock.

These people are often homeless, very weak, they can't even do work, and many of them have various disabilities, or some are old and weak.

There are quite a few of these people living on the docks, and it is estimated that there are probably several hundred people.

Yesterday's news had already spread out, and the "garbage area" demarcated by the Tang Dynasty army had gathered here early.

"The general...... Are you going to pour it out? When these cooking squad leaders came here with these "garbage cans", and gathered here, some poor people who smelled of peculiar smells, and some bold people asked cautiously.

After yesterday, they all knew that these Datang soldiers were easier to talk to, so they were a lot bolder.

"Yes." A cooking squad leader was silent for a moment and spoke.

"Well, can you give it to us?" The poor beggars and others asked cautiously.

These beggars now are not as arrogant as later generations, not to mention that they are all a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled.

"Well, give it to you, we won't be able to eat the rest anyway." The squad leaders simply put the barrels down.

Soon the beggars immediately surrounded them.

The things were quickly divided, and the porridge was drunk by their hands or in old wooden bowls, and at last there was nothing left.

These cooking squad leaders also understood why the lieutenant said that these things would not be wasted, these people are all from Silla, but I don't know why, these cooking squad leaders are not in a good mood.

Many ordinary people living on the dock in the distance saw this scene, but they didn't say anything, although they were envious of the wealth of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, but they would not compete with a group of beggars for food.

What's more, these beggars and the like can survive, and they will save them from coming, and ...... After all, they are also human beings, they are all ordinary people, there is no way, and it is a good thing that they can survive.

After breakfast, at the gate of the barracks, the coolies who worked yesterday came early, and they received news yesterday that there were still things to be delivered today, and yesterday's wooden signs were not recovered, so they just brought them over.

And yesterday they all received food...... More people came today.

At noon, all the soldiers of Datang ate these soldiers outside, which can be regarded as the most luxurious meal.

After eating, some leftover meals, greens, and vegetables were carried and thrown outside to the "garbage area" in the same way.

The things thrown at noon are even more "extravagant", and there are even a lot of cured meat hams in them, as well as some meats, although there are not many of them, but they are indeed there.

The poor beggars waiting here were all staring at these things, they had been smelling outside the camp for a long time.

Now watching these things being taken out, they are all frantically swallowing the saliva in their mouths.

"That...... These dishes are all raw, you can't eat them directly, otherwise you will have to eat them and your stomach will be ruined, and you will probably not get better when you get sick. A cooking squad leader couldn't help but remind the beggars.

"Thank you for your concern, we have a pot, just boil it." A beggar hurriedly nodded and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't cook it, it's not bad to eat these, after all, they are still food." ”

A few of the cooking squad leaders didn't say much, they just gave them things.

When they were gone, a large group of beggars gathered together at last, and there was a lot of food for noon, but certainly not enough for each of them.

In the end, they decided to listen to the words of these Tang soldiers and cook it.

So, some worn-out clay pots, and even a few whole clay pots, were set up on the fire, and then they carefully put some leftover green peppers, cabbage, green onions, and some seemingly dried tofu, as well as a small amount of bacon and ham.

Finally, a bunch of discarded sauces were mixed in, and the rest of the stir-fry and so on were mixed into a pot and boiled so that they could eat more and add a lot of water to fill their stomachs.

Maybe it's because there are a lot of things in the morning and yesterday, they weren't too hungry, maybe it's because the Tang army is right next to them, they don't dare, all in all, although there are a lot of these beggars, they don't fight.

Soon, the inside of these pots emitted an unprecedented rich fragrance, and the beggars swallowed their saliva frantically as they smelled it and looked at the tumbling contents inside.

A beggar couldn't help but speak: "I heard that there is also this practice of boiling and eating in Datang, it seems to be called hot pot, is this a hot pot?" ”

"Haha, that's for sure, we eat hot pot, but it's hot pot in the army, and it tastes so fragrant=, what's it called? Is it called army hot pot? ”

"Or is it a troop hot pot?"

A group of beggars couldn't help but laugh out loud, and they probably hadn't had such a smile on their faces for a long time.

It's just that they casually ridiculed the name, and I don't know if it will be completely passed on in the end.

But, sometimes...... History is always strikingly similar.

But what they didn't know was that Xue Rengui had been eyeing them for a long time.

Beggars, beggars, wandering old and sick, poor people who can't afford to eat, no matter what the composition of these people is, their influence is minimal, and the low is terrifying.

It is even possible to fall asleep at any time and never wake up again.

But they ...... It's not useless.

"Political Commissar Wang, this matter will be handed over to you, and tomorrow it will be carried out according to the original plan for one day, and the proportion of those thrown away meals, the whole steamed buns, and some leftovers."

"Then the day after tomorrow, you will come forward and ask them to do us some favors under the pretext that they have eaten us."

"It's not too difficult, just ask for some branches that are not thick and long, let them pick them up, and then we will make a fence with these things, which will serve as a fence for the station." Xue Rengui said with a calm face.

"Understand, Du Lieutenant, you just look at me, this move is still high for you, Du Lieutenant." Commissar Wang said with a smile.

"It's nothing, it's all taught by His Highness, and we're going to hire people on a large scale to clean up the camp we have drawn and build a dock."

"Some of the building materials, we can hand over to these locals to prepare. The salaries of artisans were increased by three times, and by some great craftsmen by five times. Xue Rengui shook his head and said.

"Yes. The preparations will be completed tomorrow, and the relevant follow-up materials will be delivered tomorrow, and the recruitment will start the day after tomorrow. ”
