Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 222 Sending You A Little Red Flower
The weather in February is getting warmer.The ice has melted, the wind is no longer cold, the young trees are beginning to sprout, and the mountains are full of wild flowers.

Ge Erlang was lying on the ground alone, looking at the big sun in the sky.Not far away, a few children were playing together, and someone's chicken was crowing happily in the cage.The sun is so warm that people want to sleep.

Suddenly, a bell rang not far away, which was clear and sweet.Ge Erlang got up immediately, knowing that it was time for dinner.Just as I was about to leave, I saw a small red flower beside me, I don't know the name, it was blooming brightly.

Ge Erlang bent down, picked the little red flower in his hand, and took a look.Jumping and jumping, he walked towards the crowd at the foot of the hill.

Under the big tree at the edge of the crowd, two cauldrons were set up.Xiao Sanzhi stood up beside the pot, took out a small wine gourd from his arms, and took a sip.After stuffing the gourd, he watched the crowd gather with a smile.

Ge Erlang ran to Xiao San's side, pointed to his arms and said, "Father San, what did you drink just now? If it tastes good, give me a sip too."

Xiao San smiled and said, "This is white wine, your child can't drink it! You can only drink it when you grow up in a few years."

"White wine?" Ge Erlang tilted his head, a little disdainful. "Why can't children drink alcohol? Tell you, I have lived so far, and I don't know how many times I have drunk it! Among all my companions, I drink the most!"

Xiao San said: "This is baijiu, why is it the same as ordinary wine? There is no other place for this wine, you will know it when you come to Dengzhou."

Ge Erlang had never heard of liquor, so he thought it was Xiao San who was stingy and refused to drink it for himself.Turning his head, he saw that the big pot next to him was full of vegetables, including radishes, green vegetables, tofu, etc., miscellaneous.The most attractive thing is that there is actually meat in it.

"Oh, is there any meat to eat today? I don't remember the date!" Ge Erlang rubbed his head and couldn't help smiling.According to the rules, these pedestrians moving south have a meal of meat every five days.Ge Erlang remembered that the last time he ate meat was near Shanzhou, but he couldn't remember it was a few days ago.

Stepping forward to smell the pot, Ge Erlang raised his head and said, "It smells so good!"

Xiao Sandao: "This is what the observation ordered. Who dare not follow it! Giving you meat is not easy! The observation also said that pork is the best. Where can we find it? These days, Lu's pigs But it was almost eaten up by us."

Ge Erlang said: "This Wang Guan is really a good man! We people moved south all the way, who used to care about our life and death! I heard people say that seven or eight out of ten people would die on the way south! We still have meat to eat !"

After finishing speaking, he ran to Xiao San and handed out the flowers in his hand.Said: "The third father is also a good person! I will send you a little red flower!"

Xiao San took the flowers and casually stuck them on his temples.He said in his mouth: "It's the season for outings, but I don't have time to play this year. Although your flower is a bit small, it is like a spring when it is inserted on my head."

As he spoke, he took out the wine gourd and took another sip.

Ge Erlang could only smell the smell of alcohol, which was strong and strong.Shaking his head involuntarily, he made a face at Xiao San.

A lot of Baijiu has been brewed in Dengzhou, and it is slowly becoming popular.Some people who are particularly addicted to alcohol, as well as some manual workers, pursue the feeling of swallowing a mouthful of charcoal, from the throat to the stomach.But there is no famous wine, and the price is not expensive, so the upper classes don't drink much.

The price of liquor, raw materials, techniques, regions, etc. do not account for too much, but time accounts for a larger proportion.A better storage place, a better storage method, and a longer storage time are the foundation of good wine.Wang Xiaolie ordered the government-run liquor store to store one-third of each batch of wine in the built warehouse.Although the knowledge is not perfect, as time goes by, good wine will come out.

Xiao San likes wine, and his income is not much, so baijiu suits his appetite.Take a wine gourd with you, and take a sip whenever you have time.

Shi Gui opened the lid of the pot and saw that the rice inside was already steamed.Loudly said: "It's time to eat!"

Xiao San straightened his clothes hastily, and rang the bell hanging on the tree again.He said in his mouth: "There is meat today, two yuan per person! Be careful when you get the vegetables! When you bring the vegetables back, don't say less!"

When Ge Erlang heard the bell ringing, he stepped aside and stood beside the cauldron.Xiao San smiled and said: "As soon as you get here, you walk around the pot, so you want to be the first to eat. Don't worry, here is a bowl of food for each person, and a big bowl of rice, it's the same before and after."

Ge Erlang picked up a big bowl and said, "My father was wrong. I am an orphan, my parents died, and I moved south with me. I don't know many people here, so your place is more lively."

While the two were talking, the people behind had gathered around and lined up behind Ge Erlang.Along the way, Ge Erlang was always ranked first, and everyone had already seen it.

Xiao San filled Ge Erlang's bowl with vegetables, several of them added two pieces of meat and two more pieces of tofu.

Ge Erlang said thank you, and skipped to Shi Gui's place for dinner.A large bowl of rice, plus a large bowl of stew, can eat a full belly.

In order for the people to move south, Wang Xiaolie set up such a restaurant every [-] miles along the road from Shanzhou to Neixiang County, and set up a resting place every [-] miles.Usually, rice is enough to keep you full, or you can eat pickles, or a pot of stewed vegetables to make people full.Every five and ten, there must be meat.It's like two yuan per person here today, and it's similar in other places.Speaking of eating meat, the main thing is to make the dishes a little oily and change the taste.

No matter how good Wang Xiaolie was to the people, he didn't have the money to feed them.It is rare to be able to eat a full stomach.

Ge Erlang took two big bowls and squatted down next to Xiao San's pot.He took out a pair of chopsticks from his pocket, wiped them carefully, and ate voraciously.Xiao San saw it on the side, and couldn't help laughing.Children of this age are growing and eat no less than adults.

Each group of about a hundred people moved south one by one.After a while, everyone ate food, or squatted or sat, and started eating.

Ge Erlang was enjoying his meal when he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes.Looking up, I saw two or thirty people coming here on horseback.The person at the front is about 30 years old, wearing an official robe, with a serious face.Ge Erlang said to Xiao San: "The man in front looks young, but the official robes on his body are bright, and he presumably is a high-ranking official."

Xiao Sandao: "Eat your meal! Are these things free to discuss?"

As he spoke, he wiped his hands on his clothes and walked up quickly.When he was in Xinye, Xiao San cooked for the craftsman, and he recognized Wang Xiaolie and Niu Gao, how dare he neglect?

Stepping forward to lead the horse, Xiao San said: "I know someone is coming today, but I don't want to observe it! We cooked too much and it's still hot!"

Wang Xiao got off his horse and looked at the people around him.Asked: "Are the people here satisfied with their meals? It's really not easy for them to move thousands of miles south. You cook, you can't treat them badly."

Xiao San hurriedly said: "Observe Anxin, the younger ones do it with all their heart, and the people agree. These years, the Jin people have poisoned the Central Plains. I don't know how many people have moved south. They are not as good as ours."

Wang Xiaolie nodded, and together with Niu Gao and his men, they stood in front of the pot to cook vegetables.

Seeing Wang Xiaolie standing in front of him holding a bowl, Xiao San hurriedly said: "How dare you serve food for the observation? You are so frightening! Put down the observation quickly, I will serve it for you, and just bring the food together. "

Wang Xiaolie said: "If you say that, you are the people from the military who passed by before, why don't you come over to cook by yourself?"

"Where, where, observe and don't think about it! Everyone is a rule-abiding person, and no one dares to violate the will of the observation."

Xiao San didn't dare to say any more, and hurriedly put vegetables in Wang Xiao's hunting bowl.

Wang Xiaolie said: "How many pieces of meat per person today? You put so much meat in my bowl, do you not want other people to eat it? As I said earlier, I will eat whatever the people eat along the way. How much the people eat, I will eat as much as I want. This is an order, that is, a rule!"

Hearing Wang Xiaolie's harsh words, Xiao San was so frightened that his forehead was sweating.He hurriedly took the spoon and pulled out the excess meat from Wang Xiao's hunting bowl.He said in his mouth: "To observe, two pieces of meat per person today. If you want to observe the hard work on the road, you should eat a few more pieces of meat."

Wang Xiao said: "If I ride a horse, if it is hard work, what should these people say on foot? I know you mean well. But in our army, an order is an order, and it must not be violated! As a soldier, how can you not follow the order?" Seriously?"

Xiao San said yes.Honestly gave Wang Xiao hunting food.

After that, another bowl of rice was made, and Wang Xiaoliu sat down on a big rock away from the crowd.Not long after, Niu Gao sat beside Wang Xiaolie with rice and vegetables.After taking a bite of food, I couldn't help it, and said: "Defense, I smell alcohol on the old man who cooks over there. I've been holding back for the past few days, can I ask for a sip of wine? There is no wine In the mouth, a bird should fade out."

Wang Xiaolie sighed.Said: "Don't drink too much, just relieve your cravings. Commander, you are so addicted to alcohol, you will cause trouble sooner or later."

Niu Gao smiled.Putting down the bowl in his hand, he got up and walked quickly to Xiao San's side, asking for his wine gourd.Baijiu has a strong smell, a drunkard like Niu Gao knows it as soon as he smells it, how can he hide it from him?
Take the gourd and go back to the boulder.Niu Gao opened the gourd, took a deep breath, and said: "It is said that baijiu is too strong to drink, why don't I think so? Is there anything in the world that can compare to this wine? After one sip, the whole body is covered with blood. Tongtai!"

In the history of Yue Fei's two generals, Niu Gao is good at wine, Dong Xian loves money, this is a problem they can't get rid of.Even if it was Wang Xiaolie, he could only tell Niu Gao not to drink when he was fighting, and to relax at other times.However, after getting in touch these days, Wang Xiaolie felt that Niu Gao, who loves wine, is much better than Dong Xian, who loves money.Compared with the two, Dong Xian looks more like a warlord.And Niu Gao is not only brave in battle, but also able to unite the hearts of his subordinates, and also understands the suffering of the people.Based on the impression left by the Yue family army to future generations, it is obvious that Niu Gao is more suitable.
