Chapter 631: Retaliation
"I don't understand what General Tao said. I wonder why General Tao said such a thing?" Lu Qiyan expressed his doubts with a face full of surprise.
Such a rhetorical question immediately made Tao Kanglai so angry that he only pulled Lu Qiyan to see what the two parties were eating.
"Why can you people in the Zhou Dynasty eat meat buns and tofu ball soup, but we can only eat radish and cabbage soup and white steamed buns?" Tao Kanglai asked again angrily.
"It turns out that this is what General Tao said."
Lu Qiyan smiled and said, "We, the Zhou Kingdom, have always been hospitable, so when we welcome guests, we will prepare them with delicious food and drinks, so General Tao does not need to be so emotional, it is all what we should do ”
Tao Kanglai was stunned when he heard this, "What do you mean, are you saying that this carrot and cabbage is a good thing?"
"It's natural." Lu Qiyan said with a smile, "In our place, radish has always been said to be a small ginseng. It is the best to replenish qi and maintain health. There is also a saying that eating radish in winter and ginger in summer means that in winter, you need to eat radish." Eat more radishes to keep fit. ”
"Chinese cabbage has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, promoting body fluids and nourishing the stomach, moistening the intestines and laxative. It is very suitable for people who are traveling for long distances and have irregular diets. It can nourish the body and maintain health."
"Furthermore, Jin Weiguo usually eats more meat and less vegetables. In terms of medical health, it is not good for the body. According to this situation, the kitchen specially made healthy radish and cabbage soup and very easy-to-digest white flour steamed buns. For the enjoyment of the entire delegation.”
"Then according to what Commander Lu said, this radish and cabbage soup is an excellent food. If so, why did the soldiers of the Zhou Kingdom not eat this but eat something else?" Tao Ankang still asked angrily.
Lu Qiyan replied with a smile, "Didn't I explain to General Tao just now that our country of Zhou has always been hospitable and always brings good things to entertain distinguished guests, so naturally we cannot compete with distinguished guests."
Tao Ankang, "..."
Sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued, he confuses right and wrong, and abruptly turns his harsh treatment of Jin Weiguo into a warm reception.
I have never seen such a shameless person!
The anger in his stomach almost burst out of Tianling Gai. Tao Ankang almost gritted his teeth when he spoke, "Although it is the deep friendship of your Zhou Kingdom, we don't like it. We still need to follow the preferences of our Jin Wei Kingdom and eat more meat." .”
"I'm afraid this won't work."
"Why!" Tao Ankang's eyes were split, "Are you trying to deliberately treat our Jin Weiguo envoy who came to negotiate peace?"
"General Tao, please be patient." Lu Qiyan explained with a smile, "It's not that we didn't prepare for the mission, it's actually because of the non-stop wind and snow all day and night, which makes it difficult to walk in the thick snow. Being in a remote location, it can be said to be very difficult to purchase meat from outside.”
"And Congyu County, where this is located, has sandy land. Most of the land can only grow sweet potatoes, which are not sold at high prices. This makes Congyu County as a whole not wealthy. Even if you can go out to buy meat, it is probably more difficult to find a seller. .”
"Because even though there is a need here for General Tao, it is very difficult to do it. We are willing but unable to do it. If General Tao wants to use this to label me as treating the mission harshly, I will really feel aggrieved."< br>
Lu Qiyan sighed as he spoke, "But if General Tao insists, then whatever General Tao says will be whatever. Then I will go to the Lord to apologize, as long as General Tao is happy..."< br>
Tao Ankang, "..."
What a big cup of green tea!
Is this state of bitching and bitching by Zhou generals contagious? Tao Ankang almost broke his back molars, "Then where does the meat you eat come from?"
"These are the dry food we brought with us in case of emergencies. We just needed them today."
The smile on Lu Qiyan's face continued as he looked at Tao Ankang, "General Tao, didn't he tell his subordinates to bring these?"
Tao Ankang, "..."
They really didn't carry meat.
To be precise, not in the past two days.
When setting off from Jin Weiguo, the mission could be said to have carried many slaughtered lambs, some smoked and roasted mutton jerky, and even a lot of milk cubes and other snacks to pass the time.
But since entering the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom, Tao Ankang discovered that Lu Qiyan and others had made proper arrangements along the way, and the meals were provided by the inns. They could also be replenished by the inns every day, so the meat and snacks they brought were The things he received were distributed casually to his subordinates as rewards in daily life.
Many times, when I feel that the food at the inn is not very tasty, I have to roast a few lambs separately and make tooth sacrifices, so that in the past few days, more than 70% of the meat I originally brought has been consumed.
And considering that the next station can be replenished at will, when setting off from the first station, there is no more supplies.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Furthermore, he really didn't expect that the so-called county magistrate's villa where he settled this time would be so poor!
A hundred secrets and a sparseness!
No, to be precise, this is a trap specially set by Lu Qiyan!
He insisted on going on his way yesterday. At that time, he was complacent because Lu Qiyan and Xia Yunji did not object at all and obeyed him obediently. Now it seems that it is clearly Lu Qiyan's superficial pandering, but in fact it is to make him careless and then cause trouble for him here. !
Tao Ankang, who had figured this out, looked at Lu Qiyan again like a poison-quenched sword, wanting to stab Lu Qiyan with several bloody holes before he gave up.
After a long time, Tao Ankang squeezed out a sentence through his teeth, "Commander Lu, as the majestic military commander of the Western Frontier Army, is so unyielding that he must retaliate..."
"Thank you, General Tao, for the compliment." Lu Qiyan said quietly, "If there is nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."
After Lu Qiyan said that, he walked away, but after taking two steps, he turned back, "Yes, I almost forgot to tell General Tao that the road was blocked by heavy snow and it was difficult to move forward. We should stay here for two days. Then hurry up.”
"There has never been a plan to entertain so many people here in Bieyuan. They suddenly took on such a difficult task this time, which exceeded their expectations. Just now the steward came to report that the quantity of various food prepared previously was insufficient. , by dinner time, the meal should be reduced by about 20%.”
I didn’t eat well to begin with, but now I have to reduce my intake. Is this planning to make people unable to eat enough?
It's too much to bully others, it's too much to bully others!
Tao Ankang walked away angrily, and even ordered his subordinates to go out and find a place where they could buy white flour and meat.
And his behavior was quickly reported to Lu Qiyan.
"Do you want me to send someone to stop them?" Xia Yunji asked.
