Chapter 83: Eating Meat in the Army (1)

In the early autumn when the Dawu Dynasty was still in the early autumn when the autumn tigers came to harass from time to time, Liangzhou in the north had entered the early winter of the bleak in advance.

At the training ground of the northern border army ten miles outside Liangzhou City, the nomadic barbarians in the distance have stopped their nomadic herding and set up tents to store food for the winter, while the border soldiers still have to insist on training in addition to the work they send every day.

The smoke of the fire barracks in the training ground was attacking, and dinner was already being made.

The setting sun fell at the end of the sky, and only a ray of red light sprinkled onto the earth, giving a vivid layer of color to the vast grassland of Xiao Suo, but even if this color was vivid, it could not stop the piercing cold wind blowing in the whirring.

A loud horn sounded, one after another, until it spread throughout the entire border army barracks.

At the end of the last flag code on the training ground, there was a burst of majestic shouts of soldiers, and the captains of the training shouted that it was time to eat.

Even in the early winter, the northern border army, which is not in a state of readiness, only eats two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening.

These soldiers had practiced for a day, sweating countless times, and by this time, they were already hungry with their chests against their backs, and the captain's orders were given, and the footsteps of running towards the firehead soldiers might not be able to catch up with the general's sharp arrows.

In Captain Guo's barracks, more than 300 elite soldiers also rushed to the fire head soldiers.

The tall and strong Lieutenant Guo followed behind the soldiers, with a smile on his tanned face that had been tanned by his years of military career, pointing at the little soldiers who were running like rabbits and scolding with a smile.

Guo Xiaowei was followed by two men, the strong and slender one on the left, even a head taller than Guo Xiaowei, looking at his deep eyes and the bridge of his handsome nose, he knew that this was a young man who was only about twenty, and he was about to admire his appearance, but unfortunately he had a dark beard, covering half of his face, which made people cry out for pity.

The man on the right is almost the same size as Captain Guo, and his face is clean and tidy, but unfortunately his square face is small-eyed, and his figure is more burly than Captain Guo, so he has nothing to look at. However, the burly man with this square face also looks very young.

Captain Guo stretched out his hand and patted the two people beside him, "Zixiang, Yuhong, take care of this group of cubs under your hands, look at it, it's going to turn the sky upside down." ”

Zixiang is He Changdi's character, and Yuhong is naturally the burly man with the square face.

Because of the relationship between Jing Anbo and King Jin, although He Changdi was a newcomer to the northern border army and served under Captain Guo, because of his identity, he started higher than others, and he became a general manager as soon as he came.

The general in the border army of the Dawu Dynasty is equivalent to the centurion in the army, and he commands a team of more than 100 people.

There are three generals under Captain Guo, in addition to He Changdi and Xiao Yuhong, there is also Zhang Mai, who is over 30 years old.

He Changdi and Xiao Yuhong hurriedly responded with a smile.

Captain Guo saw that the Huotou military barracks had already been snatched up, and he also quickened his pace, "Let's hurry up, otherwise we will let those hungry ghosts be reincarnated." ”

Lieutenant Guo was just a joke, and he and the three general food fireheads would be left behind.

It's just that Captain Guo treats the soldiers like brothers and sisters, and his food is the same as that of the soldiers, but the portion is more.

The only time I drank pheasant soup was because I was sick and trained in the army, and the old firehead soldier really couldn't look at the extra things he did, and this was a year ago.

However, the northern border is already bitterly cold, although the border army has the grain, grass, money and silver regularly distributed by the imperial court, but after all, the materials are limited, and the military food is really rough, and it is not in the preparation period, and it is only enough for the border army to be satisfied. Even if Captain Guo wants to open a small stove, there is nothing else to eat.

When the three of them arrived at the firehead soldier, the old firehead soldier hurriedly took out three huge porcelain basins and put them on a light wooden table outside the camp tent, and there were four wooden stools on the side of the table.

Captain Guo let his two deputies sit down and pointed to the three porcelain basins on the table, "I'm tired of a day, let's eat them all!"

He Changdi and Xiao Yuhong were not ambiguous immediately, and took the chopsticks next to them and began to eat.

In the porcelain basin is just a bowl of green fruit porridge mixed with Chinese cabbage, with two pieces of throat-pulling pot helmets piled on top, there is no meat smell at all, and the green fruit porridge is just added with some coarse salt. Because it is inferior coarse salt, it has a bitter taste mixed with other things.

Where can you still worry about the taste of such a meal, it's just barely filling your stomach.

Xiao Yuhong solved a pot helmet in two bites, swallowed straight out of her neck, and finally drank several mouthfuls of green fruit porridge before she flushed the pot helmet blocked in her throat.

His face was black and red, and he gasped for breath, staring at the huge porcelain basin in a daze.

This kid doesn't look strong and calf-like, but he is a year younger than He Changdi, only nineteen this year, the family is also a family of military generals, and he only entered the camp last year.

"Brother Guo, Brother He, every time at this time, I really want to eat my mother's stewed meat, I used to dislike the meat when I was at home and it was too fatty, but now if I can bring me a pot, I can eat it all the way. ”

Captain Guo nodded at him amusedly, "Why, I can't eat the remaining half, bring it to me and help you eat it!"

Xiao Yuhong hurriedly protected her porcelain basin in her arms, as if a puppy was protecting food, but people couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"That's not good, Brother Guo, I haven't eaten yet!"

"Hmph, didn't you say you wanted to eat meat anymore?"

"It's not nothing! If there is meat, who will eat this coarse gnocchi!"

He Changdi held the bowl and slowly ate the food in front of him, although he ate quickly, but the appearance of eating not only did not make people feel embarrassed, but also faintly felt quite elegant.

Except for the fact that the beard was a little inconvenient, and from time to time it would get a little porridge stain, he buried his head in eating, as if he hadn't heard the conversation between the other two people at the table.

As soon as the words of Captain Guo and Xiao Yuhong fell, a male voice like a breeze said: "Who said there is no meat!"

"What, there's meat?" Xiao Yuhong, who didn't know the taste of meat for a few months, couldn't help but stand up with red eyes at first, and her small eyes widened because of excitement.

The man who spoke slowly came over with an empty bowl, he was about the same height as He Changdi, his face was beardless, and he was also wearing a general military uniform, but he was obviously a round older than He Changdi. He is Zhang Mai, the third general under Captain Guo.

Zhang Mai's old injury recurred today, and he was dismissed from training by Captain Guo, and rested in the tent for half a day, and he was also having dinner at this time.

He Changdi, who had been sitting quietly next to him to eat before, suddenly stiffened for some reason.

Xiao Yuhong, this kid's gluttony, immediately couldn't wait to eat meat, walked around to Zhang Mai with a shy face, and said flatteringly: "Brother Zhang, you just said that you have meat to eat, you can't forget your little brother!"

Zhang Mai smiled mysteriously, and then stretched out his index finger and secretly pointed at He Changdi, who seemed to be settled.
