Chapter 64 64. Speaking arrogantly?
The Shen family, in the small courtyard.
The iron furnace was filled with charcoal and the fire was extremely powerful. In a short time, the surrounding iron sheet was burning red.
It’s snowing heavily outside and it’s bitingly cold.
The living room of the Shen family was as warm as spring and steaming.
Seven Hongwei Escorts, headed by Cheng Daqian, gathered together at a table and were each guarding a large bowl of noodles, swallowing furiously.
"Daughter, did you really do this?"
Cheng Daqian couldn't count how many times he was confused tonight.
The noodles in front of him were so fragrant and beautiful that he, a big guy, couldn't bear to destroy them with chopsticks.
This is what Cheng Xi went to the kitchen to do when he learned that they had not eaten.
Add a handful of green chopped green onions to the hot oil at the bottom of the pot. After the aroma is released, add broth to cook the noodles. When cooked, add a handful of green rapeseed. There are even a few pieces of soy sauce-colored meat in each person's bowl.
White soup base, clear noodles, green vegetables, and fragrant sauce meat.
These four ingredients are all gathered in one bowl!
If we say that the first two are something ordinary people can have, what about these green vegetables and the most delicious-smelling sauced pork in the world?
Obviously everyone is so hungry that they can swallow a cow, but they dare not move when faced with such a bowl of noodles.
It’s incredible!
You must know that it is winter now, or the winter when the snowstorm spread for half of the Yan Dynasty!
Every noodle is extremely precious.
They set out from Kyoto and headed towards Lin'an Prefecture. They met countless victims in ragged clothes who were starving and freezing to death. They themselves were starving because of too little food.
Who would have thought that as soon as I got home(?) I would feel like I was in heaven!
"Niece, your food is very good. Are you entertaining us with so many noodles?"
"Is there something wrong with my eyes with these green side dishes?"
"What kind of meat is that? , so fragrant?”
Seeing the restraint of several people, Cheng Xi winked at Shen Xingluo, who also shared a bowl of noodles.
The latter understood, picked up chopsticks and greeted everyone to eat.
"Every uncle and uncle must be hungry already. There is still a lot of food at home. Eat first."
With the elders here, he will not be the first to use chopsticks, but Cheng Daqian is a middle-grade among the bodyguards. The biggest one.
"This is pork specially cooked by Xiaoxi. She also grows the vegetables in the house. Father-in-law, would you like to try it first?"
A cup of tea was stuffed into Cheng Daqian's hand. Come to your senses.
“Ah, yes, yes, eat first, eat first!”
The others no longer hesitated and picked up their chopsticks to join the sweep. For a while, the only sound in the living room was the slurping of noodles.
“Hmm - these noodles are chewy!”
“The soup is also delicious, is it made with big bones?”
“I can actually eat it in winter A bite of vegetables?”
“Yummy, the meat is so delicious!”
Seven men in their thirties ate with tears in their eyes.
They already had a lot of appetite, not to mention that they didn’t eat well at all while sleeping in the open air, but now they can eat more.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the noodles in the large iron pot had reached the bottom.
I have never seen anything so clean when locusts pass through it.
Cheng Daqian looked satisfied and touched his belly with his big palm, "My dear daughter, your cooking skills have improved a lot!"
"Xiaoxi's cooking skills are so good that we can't even find one in the restaurants in Lin'an Prefecture."
"Why didn't we know this before? Otherwise, we brothers would have gone to Da Gan's house to have dinner. "
Everyone couldn't help but sigh, the good days came so fast, they were all a little uncomfortable.
This meal is satisfying!
The night was too dark, and because it was really hard to travel during the day, several people discussed finding a place to rest.
Shen Manyun was very happy and arranged the people from Hongwei Escort to a newly built wooden house, while Cheng Daqian naturally stayed at the Shen family.
After the meal, the bowls and chopsticks were removed and replaced with teacups. The father, daughter, and the Shen brothers and sisters gathered together to chat. "Dad, it's been a hard journey. Are you injured?"
"Don't worry, I'm very capable!"
Cheng Daqian quickly waved his hand to express his Nothing happened except that I lost a lot of weight, and then I talked about my experiences along the way.
The heavy snow brought endless disasters to the people of the Yan Dynasty.
The Hongwei Escort Bureau accidentally became a witness. For this reason, their team of more than 20 people was suddenly reduced to seven people, which is enough to show how thrilling this journey is.
"The people are suffering. Many families in the north have been buried in the snow, their houses have collapsed, countless people have died of hunger and freezing, and mourners are everywhere."
Cheng Daqian glanced at the people around him. Three juniors, to put it as lightly as possible.
None of these people have ever seen a big scene of people eating people, so they can’t be scared.
But it is still necessary to give a warning first.
“Many victims are rushing here. We brothers can go faster because we have horses. If it’s the New Year.”
Cheng Daqian looked solemn and did not continue. .
In fact, he can't guarantee what the situation will be like after the New Year.
Shen Xingluo, who was present as a witness, knew this clearly. Although Cheng Xi had no experience, he knew that the situation was not good after reading the history books and thinking about it.
A more dangerous situation may be yet to come!
"Lin'an Prefecture has been closed down now. What are the plans of my father-in-law and the Hongwei Escort Bureau?"
"What, the city is closed down?!"
Cheng Daqian's face revealed Shocked, I didn't know whether to be surprised or angry.
“The food in the city was looted, and the prefect sealed the city gates a month ago to prevent entry and exit. It is difficult for the uncles to return home.”
Most of the people from Hongwei Escort Bureau are in Lin'an City.
Cheng Daqian’s face became more solemn.
"Do you really have food at home?"
In disaster years, food is the top priority!
“Father-in-law, don’t worry, it will be enough for our family to eat for two or three years.”
Shen Xingluo's expression was indifferent, but what he said shocked the listeners.
Two or three years?
That would weigh two to three thousand kilograms at least!
Who usually buys so much food for their home?
Cheng Daqian thought of the letter he received in Kyoto, and then he realized how powerful the words "already prepared" were.
Shen Xingluo was afraid that he would not be frightened, so he slowly added:
"Most families in Shenjia Village have food and can go hunting in the mountains. It is still possible to persist for two or three months."
What?
Does every household have food?
Don’t think about it, it must have been the son-in-law who revealed the news. No wonder he moved to the village.
This is to preserve oneself while also thinking about the entire Shen family!
"Hahahaha, son-in-law, I didn't expect you to be so courageous!"
How solemn his face was just now, how happy he is now.
Cheng Daqian proved with his actual actions that he is professional when it comes to falling out.
“With so much food, what are we afraid of? If we can fill our stomachs, everything else is not a problem!”
Father Cheng was suddenly filled with pride and pounded the table with excitement.
"No matter how many bandits or tens of thousands of victims come, we are not afraid. Even if someone from the court comes to steal food, we can't let him take away a grain of rice!"
Cheng Xi: "."
Dad, how much fake wine did you drink before you uttered such arrogant words?
If I fry a few peanuts for you, you won’t be so drunk.
