Chapter 81: Emergency
Qingshan Village calmed down again, and Jiang Xingchen was rarely at peace, except for playing chess with the little girl, he was thinking about continuing to fish.
Generally speaking, because the amount of winter fishing is too large, a lake can only be fished once a year, and there will be no fun next year if you fish many times! But on that large wasteland, there are more than a dozen large and small lakes, not to mention supplying two major restaurants, even if there are a few more.
The old man is also honest, the people of the earth-shattering mercenary group all go to deliver fish, and no one plays chess with him, and playing chess with Mei'er is not fun, but torment. Only then did his mind shift to eating, and he went out to look for pheasant eggs.
The hard work paid off, and the old man searched for two days in a row, and finally got back a nest of wild pheasant eggs, more than 20 of them.
Rushing back to the lord's mansion excitedly, the old man asked Jiang Xingchen again and again what he was going to do, but he always remembered that Jiang Xingchen had said something that satisfied him.
Who knew that Jiang Xingchen came directly and said that he would say tomorrow, so he left with the wild pheasant eggs, leaving the old man standing in place, the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitching.
In the room, Mei'er watched Jiang Xingchen busy next to the warm kang, and asked strangely, "Brother, what are you doing here, what are you doing spreading cotton cloth...... Just put the pheasant eggs in the kitchen......"
Jiang Xingchen replied with a smile: "Brother get a warm place and see if you can hatch the wild pheasant eggs!"
"Boy, don't try it!" Before Mei'er could speak, the old man walked in from outside the door, looked at Jiang Xingchen and smiled playfully: "This method has been tried before, except for the letter bird and the speed eagle, the eggs of other birds can't hatch at all...... Hehe, I said why are you in a hurry to let me find wild pheasant eggs, it turned out to be for this, it's really whimsical, do you think you're an orc, and you still want to breed!"
"Uh!" Jiang Xingchen really didn't expect that someone had actually tried it, and his actions were just a meal.
However, seeing the old man's playful smile, the corners of his mouth grinned, and he snorted and said: "So what, others can't hatch it, and it doesn't necessarily mean that I can't hatch it......"
Halfway through the conversation, Jiang Xingchen suddenly felt that there was some ambiguity in his words, and hurriedly stopped talking, but it was already too late.
First, Mei'er snorted, covered her small mouth, and shrugged her shoulders. Then the old man pointed at him, and daxiao got up: "You hatched out, I believe in you, hahahaha......"
The muscles on Jiang Xingchen's face were twitching, and he couldn't help yelling: "Old thing, you are the chicken ......"
After a few days, the old man finally got his wish, Jiang Xingchen steamed rice the night before, and made a big pot of egg fried rice.
Jiang Xingchen used to make almost all pasta, and the rice was also porridge, and it was the first time that it was steamed. The old man looked at the golden and fragrant egg fried rice, his eyes were blue, and he picked up his chopsticks and pounced.
"Fragrant, so fragrant! The rice grains are full and chewy...... It turns out that rice can do this! Such a simple method, no one actually thought of it!" The old man was full of food, chewing vigorously while still making vague comments.
Jiang Xingchen pursed his lips speechlessly: "It's simple! If there is no push-pull bellows, the water can't be boiled wide, and the rice can be steamed!"
Mei'er also smiled when she ate, and puffed up her bags and said, "Brother, this is delicious!
"Mmmmmmmm......mmmm
"Don't think about it! The remaining ten eggs are kept to hatch! Didn't you say I couldn't hatch them, I'll show you this time...... If you want to eat, old man, you can find it again...... Still laughing!"
When Jiang Xingchen spoke angrily, the old man and Mei'er didn't hold back, but their mouths were full of rice, for fear of squirting, they couldn't hold back their laughter, and they trembled all over.
At this moment, there was a fluttering sound outside the door, and Mei'er's smile immediately retracted, and she tried to swallow the food in her mouth, and stood up happily: "My letter bird is back!" and ran out.
After a while, Mei'er came back with a letter in her hand.
"Sister Hongxian's letter, show me!" Jiang Xingchen stretched out his hand.
"It's not for my brother!" Mei'er handed over the letter and said, "It's for the old man!"
"To the old man!" Jiang Xingchen was a little strange, what did Sister Hongxian do when she wrote a letter to the old man. But he didn't think much about it, and directly threw the white silk to the old man, and the old thing was still smiling there.
What he didn't know was that the old man was not laughing at him for hatching eggs now, but secretly refreshed in his heart. No need to ask, this is also Tang Chuxue's letter, this girl must have been shocked by the fact that there are 30,000 catties of fish in a net.
However, why didn't she send it to me directly, and turned it around...... Oh, it was sent from the First Legion station with a letter bird, the speed was too slow, this girl must have used the speed eagle to send it to Hongyuan City first...... Hehe, it seems that this girl must have been surprised, and she sent a letter with a quick eagle, is this to confirm it quickly, and this time I will write down the fishing process......
The old man opened the white silk with a smile, but after only looking at it twice, his expression suddenly sank.
After a while, the old man put the letter in his arms, stood up, and said solemnly: "Jiang Xingchen, come with me, go to the Seventh Army immediately, there is a shortage of food, and you need to use winter to catch ......"
After explaining very quickly, the old man grabbed Jiang Xingchen and walked out, but he didn't even care about eating the remaining egg fried rice.
At this time, Jiang Xingchen was still confused, and he didn't figure out what was going on, the Seventh Army was short of food, looking for someone to transport food, and it had something to do with the winter catch.
Mei'er didn't do it anymore, she didn't understand anything else, but she understood that her brother was going to battle. Three years ago, my uncle went to the battlefield and never came back.
"No, old man, you can't take your brother to the battlefield, he won't ......be able to fight at all," the little girl grabbed the old man and didn't let go.
"Hey!" the old man slapped his forehead, only then did he remember that he hadn't explained clearly, and immediately told Mei'er that he was either going to the battlefield or going fishing to save the emergency!
"Oh!
And at this time, Jiang Xingchen finally figured out the cause and effect of the matter, and his face couldn't help but feel bitter.
"Old man, it's not that I don't want to go, our nets are big meshes, and small fish can't be caught! How many big fish can there be in a lake, enough for hundreds of thousands of soldiers to eat...... We fished in that lake the day before yesterday, and we only caught it once a year, and we will ...... next year."
Before he finished speaking, the old man waved his hand and interrupted: "What kind of lake was that the day before yesterday, just blisters! The place I went to this time was hundreds of miles in radius, and some of them were fish! Don't talk nonsense, hurry up!"
"How to take the fishing things, the net of 400 meters alone is more than 1,000 catties, plus the winch, and the rod is ......."
"Except for the fishing nets, everything else is easy to get, hurry up!" The old man couldn't wait any longer, and dragged Jiang Xingchen out of the room.
"I can't ride a horse......"
"Shut up, boy!" the old man's eyes were on fire.
"Brother, how careful are you......" Mei'er ran to the door and instructed.
"Don't forget to take medicine every day...... Jiang Xingchen also turned around and admonished.
Next, Jiang Xingchen was only surprised, he finally truly realized the strength of the supreme master.
The four hundred meters of fishing nets are stacked in layers, and there are also big bags, more than 1,000 catties, and the old man actually holds it up with one hand, and Jiang Xingchen with the other.
As for horseback riding, there was nothing at all, and the old man ran away with him directly. Jiang Xingchen felt the wind in his ears, and the oncoming cold wind pierced his eyes.
Now he really stopped looking up to the old man, what defeated the killer before, jumped up seven or eight meters high, compared to the current situation, it is simply weak. Running faster than a horse with more than a thousand pounds, it's simply not human.
"It looks like I'm going to make a pair of red shorts for the old man, and he stretched out his arms and raised them above his head, and he can definitely fly......"
When Jiang Xingchen's mind was full of cranky thoughts, in the tent of the Seventh Army besieging Pingjun City, Wu Tianfeng also changed his declining trend and seemed to be full of spirits.
"Jiang Xingchen, it's Jiang Xingchen again...... In the harsh winter, 30,000 catties of fish were caught in one net...... Forty miles away, Bibo Lake is hundreds of miles away, and the fish caught are definitely enough for my army of more than 100,000 to eat...... As long as the soldiers can eat enough and recover their energy, it won't take a few days to take Pingjun City!"
When Wu Tianfeng was happy here, a personal soldier entered the big tent and reported: "Commander, there are still five days' worth of military rations left, is it better to cut them down every meal?"
"No need! just keep it like this, the soldiers can't even walk anymore!" Wu Tianfeng waved his hand.
"Yes!" Seeing that the legion commander was so resolute, the soldiers immediately responded and bowed down.
Wu Tianfeng stood up, opened the curtain and walked outside, looked up at the direction of Hongyuan City, and muttered, "Old man, hurry up......
At the same time, the military department of the imperial capital, the marshal looked at the white silk in his hand, hahadaxiao: "This Dingbei Marquis, it is really not a loss at all, didn't our military department just borrow Jiang Xingchen, you asked to leave the military rations in Hongyuan City......"
One of the subordinates below asked, "Marshal, how should we reply?"
"As long as you can help me take Pingjun City, why not leave the military rations to him!" The marshal stood up and ordered loudly: "Send a letter to the quartermaster immediately, and do everything according to the instructions of the Marquis of Dingbei!"
The subordinates were stunned for a moment, obviously they didn't expect this result, and the military rations could be given away! However, he immediately came back to his senses, and the marshal had decided, so he had to do it......
Half a day later, the Dingbei Hou Mansion in Hongyuan City, Zhao Danqing's mother, Dingbei Hou, and an elegant middle-aged three people sat around.
"Master Hou, did you really leave the military rations behind?" The other two were full of surprise, feeling a little incredible, the military rations could be left, and there was still a big battle ahead.
"Hehe! The marshal personally ordered! Don't worry, it's no problem......" Dingbei Hou confirmed, and then he smiled darkly: "Those people who raise the price of food are weak, I turn my hand, you will be unlucky, so much grain is smashed in your hands, you can't be killed!"
