Chapter 798 798: Pork Ribs Stewed with Jade and Wheat [Please vote]
"Master, junior brother?"
Yun Ce stared at Xian Yujian back and forth to confirm.
The words "Did you admit the wrong person" were written all over his face.
Xian Yujian was no less surprised than Yun Ce. He forgot to drop the weapons in his hands: "Is it Senior Brother Yun?"
He quickly took back his martial spirit and walked from the mud to the field ridge with one foot deep and one foot shallow. His two trouser legs were rolled up to halfway up his thighs. Below the trouser legs, the wheat-colored skin and mud-covered calves were clearly distinguishable. Deyun Ce was dumbfounded.
He hurriedly asked: "Junior brother, what are you doing?"
Xian Yujian also wanted to ask: "Senior brother, why are you here?"
The two junior brothers looked at each other. In the end, Xian Yujian scooped water from the ditch, washed his legs, wiped them randomly, and said considerately: "Brother, do you have something to talk about while walking?"
Yun Ce naturally had no objection.
Before Xian Yujian left, he did not forget to raise his hands to a group of subordinates who were still working hard: "Work hard, there will be meat tonight!"
As soon as they heard that there would be meat tonight, everyone worked more energetically.
“Senior Brother Yun has gone back, hasn’t he?”
Xian Yujian’s words brought Yun Ce back from his wandering world.
Yun Ce told his story with a wry smile, and at the end he spread his hands: "...Brother, I have completely offended Huang Xiguang. It is not easy to go back to the mountain gate at this time, so I followed him here. Junior Brother, how could you do this? ...Doing this work in the fields?”
Xian Yujian seemed to take this matter very seriously.
Answer: "Because this is the Lord's order."
"Come, senior brother!" Before Yun Ce could say anything, Xian Yujian took Yun Ce's hand forward and said with a smile: "I'll take you to see something! Since senior brother has already taken Huang Lie, Sin, why don’t we consider it, my lord?”
“What are you looking at?” You can't just look at him, you also have to look at Shen Jun.
Minister and Lord, the choice between the two is mutual.
Yun Ce soon knew what Xian Yujian wanted him to see. The two crossed a hillside, and he was shocked to the spot by the sight before him - it was a field with crisscrossed roads. The vast land is cut by straight paths, and rows of crops are planted in the fields.
For a long time, he said in surprise: "Yanzhou is not..."
Xian Yujian stood on the hillside and made a circle with his fingers: "This is the result of many days of hard work by my junior brothers. I am glad to be here. The terrain is fairly flat, otherwise we would have to repair it Adjust the height of these fields and try to keep them on the same level..."
Ordinary people do not have the ability to do whatever they want. They cultivate wasteland according to the terrain, which results in their fields being irregular. It’s also troublesome to measure. My lord has so-called obsessive-compulsive disorder. He asked them to show their putty skills and smooth the ground under their feet when reclaiming wasteland, so that each field is the same size.
A field is an acre of land.
Each field is marked with a corresponding serial number.
In the future, when common people lease land from the government, they will be able to allocate it piece by piece. It will be clear at a glance which household has been assigned which acre of land. This will also facilitate the payment of autumn harvest field taxes. This is just a matter of convenience for the brave warriors who participated in the land reclamation.
This is what Yun Ce sees now.
There are already crops in the fields, but he doesn’t recognize them.
"I heard that the floods in Yanzhou were serious and all the crops were ruined. Are they replanted? Is there still time for the autumn harvest?" He smiled and said, "I should be able to try something new tonight."
Yun Ce was dumbfounded. : "Taste it?"
Xian Yujian smacked his lips, seeming to reminisce about the taste of the ribs stewed in jade and wheat soup last night: "Hucao produces a lot of jade and wheat every day. If you don't want to waste it, throw it away in the back kitchen. ...Linhu Cao said that this kind of jade and wheat grains are barren, but I don’t think so..."
It obviously tastes so soft and glutinous, and the seeds are plump. When rolled together with the ribs and stewed in soup, he can show off several large bowls by himself.
Fresh and fragrant, isn’t that good?
"Senior brother, you must try it. Once you taste it, you will never forget it!"
Yun Ce: "..."
He didn't quite understand some of the things his junior brother said. .
But one thing he knew was that his junior brother was enjoying everything at the moment.
Xian Yujian took Yun Ce with him, and people greeted him from time to time. Yun Ce pointed to a place: "What are they doing?"
Following the direction pointed by Yun Ce, Xian Yujian He just glanced at it and said: "Oh, they are building a house. Senior brother, you also know it, because After successive wars, the common people were displaced and many houses were old and collapsed, making them dangerous to live in. The Lord planned to build a simple village near the fields so that the common people would not have to travel far to work in the fields. "
< br>The real purpose is to control population registration.
“More than a dozen such villages have been built in recent times, and each village can accommodate at least a hundred households.”
Yun Ce was happy and worried at the same time.
Happily, he also likes the scenes of busy traffic and chickens and dogs sniffing each other; what worries him is that the terrain is so flat that once the enemy comes in, this place will have no defense. Neatly planned fields also make it easier for enemies to plunder food.
He couldn't help but express his worries.
Xian Yujian said: "My lord has never thought about this."
Yun Ce asked in surprise: "Never thought about it?"
Xian Yujian scratched his head: "I don't think the lord has considered these gains and losses. As long as the fields are still here and the newly built villages can still be inhabited, no matter who controls this place, the survival of the people has been improved. That's enough." "
Yun Ce: "..."
Somehow, he thought of the old general under Huang Lie's tent, and felt a little sympathy with him in his heart.
He asked Xian Yujian: "Why did Zheng Qiao fortify the wall and clear the country?"
The purpose of destroying everything was naturally to cut off the enemy's supply!
Even if the enemy captures the territory, there will be no recovery!
Shen Jun spent so much effort to keep this place in order when the overall situation was uncertain. When Huang Lie and others found out, they laughed so much that they woke up from their dreams and knelt down to Shen Tang——
< br>Thank you for the gift of nature!
What is a living Bodhisattva?
This is called a living Bodhisattva!
Xian Yujian understood the worry behind Yun Ce's words, and he said: "My lord will not lose! He will not lose to Huang Lie!"
Yun Ce didn't know where his junior brother's confidence came from.
Dingle bell——Dingling bell——Dingling bell——
Hearing the bell ringing from far to near, Xian Yujian put his hands on his mouth in the shape of a trumpet, and his breath sank in his Dantian. , use skills to make your voice spread far: "It's time, let's go!"
Not active after get off work, there is something wrong with your head.
Everyone working in the fields stopped what they were doing.
Everyone seemed to have their butts on fire, with ghosts chasing behind them. They rushed towards the canteen at the back as fast as they could. Some of them were even so fast that they left afterimages. The slower ones are more like Buddhists. If you can't catch up with the first wave, you won't force yourself to run over. As the saying goes, "It's better to arrive early than to arrive late." As long as you are lucky, you can still catch up with the logistics and supply food.
“It’s time to place your order!”
“Let’s go—”
“Is it too early to place your order today?”
I didn't feel the passage of time, it was over in a blink of an eye.
Xian Yujian and Yun Ce are obviously the first echelon.
To be precise, Xian Yujian rushed to do the cooking, while Yun Ce was passively dragged to do the cooking. The two went at full speed and soon surpassed the first group of contestants. When they arrived, the canteen built temporarily by the logistics department was still empty, except for a few kittens. "Is there any jade wheat today?"
Xian Yujian came to a sudden stop.
The soldier in charge of cooking said: "There are some."
Thanks to Hu Cao, the logistics department has to harvest dozens of acres of corn and wheat every day, and the grains of an ear of corn and wheat are getting fuller and fuller day by day. He also racked his brains to develop various ways of making Yumai. But by far the most popular is the jade and wheat soup.
Mix and cook with various ingredients!
Sprinkle some salt after cooking the soup, it tastes delicious.
Yun Ce also took a portion. Warriors and ordinary soldiers have different appetites, so his portion was particularly large. It was heavy in his hand, and it wasn't until he sat down that Yun Ce came back to his senses. At this time, Xian Yujian had already taken a sip of the hot soup.
The other party looked at him with bright eyes.
Warm invitation: "Brother, have a taste."
Yun Ce looked at the wooden spoon in the bowl and was stunned again.
He had been fighting with Huang Lie for a long time. Before that, he had been a ranger for a period of time, and he would go wherever he went. To put it nicely, it means that the sword is at the end of the world, but to put it badly, it means that there is no fixed place to live, and there are no conditions for food.
When I was a ranger, I ate whatever I bought and hunted. Sometimes I wouldn’t have a meal for two days in a row.
It was better when he was fighting under Huang Lie's tent. The food was mostly dry biscuits and steamed rice made from corn. These foods have a longer shelf life and can be stored for a long time even in midsummer and are easy to carry. No matter how good the conditions are, you can eat hot food, but most of the time you eat cold water with wheat rice. These foods have a dry and hard texture and a bland taste. A little vinegar can be used to enhance the flavor.
Yun Ce is used to this.
I followed Huang Lie's order and stayed under Shen Tang's tent for a while. The food conditions were much better than Huang Lie's, but they mainly consisted of dry food, and most of the time they cooked rice in cold water. Hot food was also served, but only a few times, and Yun Ce didn't pay much attention to it.
Now——
Yun Ce felt a little ridiculous.
Xian Yujian had already finished half a bowl of soup and went down to a bucket of wheat rice. When he looked up and saw that his senior brother had not yet moved his chopsticks, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Senior brother, these foods are not to your liking?"
When the chef cooks a dish for hundreds of people in one pot, it is difficult to control the taste. It is either too salty or too bland. If the senior brother doesn't like it, he can only pay the chef to open a small stove. But that will have to wait until the kitchen is free.
Or do you think there are only two small pieces of meat in a bowl of soup?
Yun Ce shook his head: "Do you eat like this every day?"
Xian Yujian said: "Not every day. My lord is still very poor, and it is impossible to provide such food every day, even for ten days There are only three to five days in half a month...but if Hu Cao and his gang are more diligent, they can have more days..."
The whole army dared not offend anyone who came out of Hucao.
Others hope that their sons will become dragons and their daughters will become phoenixes, but they are different. Many Pao Ze pray to God and pray to Lin Feng and others every day to hope that they will become successful, because it is related to the quality of the food they eat every day.
Lin Hu Cao Chengcai, only then can their bellies be full.
Yun Ce: "..."
This is also very scary!
He stared at the hot food with a tempting aroma on the food table, his mouth salivated, his Adam's apple rolled, and he simply let go and immersed himself in the meal. Soon, people arrived one after another, and a long line formed in the temporary canteen. At the end of the team were two acquaintances.
“Gong Xiqiu, your thick eyebrows and big eyes have changed!”
I vaguely heard the gray Shen Tang complaining.
Gong Xiqiu raised his eyebrows: "Where have I changed?"
Shen Tang accused: "You cheated, you won all the pearls in my hand! I dare say you didn't mean to divide me Mind? ”
She had never lost so completely in marbles. After several rounds of competition, all ten of her beads were eaten by Gong Xiqiu! You know, a few years ago, they could still fight back and forth!
It’s all thanks to Gong Xiqiu. Every time she takes action, he distracts her with some big news. This person is a bad example!
Gong Xiqiu: "No, it's not intentional!"
He crossed his arms over his chest and felt confident.
“It’s obvious that Mama has neglected to hone her skills over the years and is not as good as me. How could it be that I deceived you and defeated you?”
Shen Tang: "..."
Gongxi Qiu took advantage of the victory and pursued: "Besides, Mama is as strong as me. Ask yourself, even if I hear the news that the sky is falling, I will not be easily transferred Not to mention losing the focus and losing the game.”
"...Okay, you have a point."
Shen Tang, who has always been strong in his life, was forced to admit that Gong Xiqiu's words made sense - it was better to admit that he had neglected to hone his skills because he was busy with government affairs than to admit that he Her concentration is not as good as Gong Xiqiu's, and she is not considered a strong person - she loses because of her hand skills.
“Mama can get back her touch by playing a few more games with me.”
How can practice make perfect without playing?
Shen Tang held the plate and silently looked at Gong Xiqiu's head.
Gong Xiqiu tilted his head towards her: "What's wrong?"
"Will Tianlei, who was promoted to the sixteenth level, help you change your brain?" Didn't this guy install a new one? Brain, right?
"As far as I know, no." Although Tianlei Body Tempering has the same effect as washing marrow and cutting bones, it does not include brain replacement.
"It's your fault, you wasted time by chirping on the road."
Setting in the canteen must be fought for.
It was too late, she was the lord and she had to sit on the floor.
Fortunately, I can still share the table with others. Yun Ce’s face comes with a light lens, so he can be caught at a glance even if it is thrown into the crowd. Yun Ce naturally noticed her and wanted to get close to her, but when he thought of Shen Tang's gender, his expression froze for a moment.
Shen Tang leaned over with a smile.
"Yuanmou, we meet again."
Come on, move around and set up a table.
Yun Ce, this newbie, was much more knowledgeable than the other veterans. He took the initiative to give in without saying anything, and even cupped his fists and saluted.
"Yun Ce has met Mr. Shen."
Shen Tang first chatted with Yun Ce about family matters for a while, then changed the subject: "I heard about your experience from Feng En, if We have nowhere to go for the time being, so why not stay and make plans? You are here, and that old man Huang Xiguang doesn’t dare to make any move.”
Yun Ce also wanted to get close to him, so naturally he would not refuse.
It’s just——
He glanced around, a little embarrassed on his pretty face.
According to the normal process, he should be extremely excited at this moment, holding the Wu Bold Tiger Talisman in both hands, clasping his fists in loyalty, and saying, "Mr. Shen will not give up, and Yun is willing to serve you as hard as you can", and then The lord helped him up again, expressing affection for each other.
Now——
Shen Tang ate until the corners of his mouth were stained with grains of wheat.
"Don't you want Yuanmou to eat? Today's dishes are quite good."
Hurry up and finish the bucket and replenish it. If you eat slowly, it will be gone.
Yun Ce: "..."
This is not right!
At the same time, Huang Xiguang was also furious.
He swept away the things on the table, with red eyes, said in a hateful voice: "You said Yun Yuanmou wounded the guard and defected?"

Zhang He’s lunch box is starting to get hot, hehe.
