Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 780 Add Two Steamed Buns

Lin Xi put the steamed fish on the table and said, "The Yihefang fish I bought today is very fat. I steamed one, you can try it."

Wang Xiaolie said: "In a few days, you will learn how to cook?"

Lin Xi said: "What are you talking about? My mother left early. I used to cook at home, and I didn't learn it after I came here."

Wang Xiaolie said: "I forgot this part. I don't know how your craft is, so give it a try."

He chewed carefully with his chopsticks, nodded and said: "This fish is good, without a trace of fishy smell. You have cooked it exceptionally well. It is light and pure in taste, which is the characteristic of Yihe bream fish. It seems that it is often cooked, and the craftsmanship is very good. Extremely precise."

Lin Xi smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you eat a lot of home-cooked food here. I used to think that as a Xuanfu, there are plenty of fish and meat every day, so many delicacies from mountains and seas can't be eaten! I didn't expect that it is just like ordinary people, it is also home-cooked. Lord."

Wang Xiaolie shook his head with a smile: "Is this home? Of course it must taste like home. Besides, these home-cooked dishes are home-cooked for a reason."

Wang Xiaolie's daily meals are nothing more than four dishes and one soup.After adding Lin Xi, he occasionally ate pork ribs, fish, etc., and ate hot pot, which was similar to ordinary people's meals.It's just that the materials are good, the craftsmanship is good, and the taste is more mellow.

Seeing Lin Xi sit down, Wang Xiaolie thought for a while, got up and picked up the wine.Said: "This bottle of mulberry wine is carefully brewed, and it is very delicious. I will go to Shizhou tomorrow, so you can drink some tonight as a farewell."

Lin Xi said: "This time I went to Shizhou, it seems that you pay special attention to it, and you have said it many times."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Yes, I have to pay attention to it. Many things are not done after thinking about it, but after doing it, I found out that there are so many involved. At that time, I asked Jiang Min to go to Shizhou. I didn't think about it. There are too many, I just feel that there is too much emptiness there. In the past few months, Jiang Min has been stationed in Shizhou. His report, coupled with the reactions of various forces, I realized that my previous thinking was simple."

Lin Xi hurriedly asked: "Why, did you not think carefully before?"

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "That's not true. In such a small mountain town, where [-] troops are stationed, how can there be any accidents? However, Shizhou's northward direction is a sphere of influence that can be sought. Even if I didn't want to do anything to him How can he feel at ease? On the other side of the Yellow River is the Suide army, and Zheng Jianchong of Yan'an Prefecture is worried. Moreover, Shizhou is not far from Xixia, and Xixia is also suspicious. This army can be said to have affected all forces. "

Lin Xi said "oh", nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.He tasted the fish and said, "This fish seems to be a little weak."

Wang Xiaolie just laughed.Said: "Where is it weak, I just eat it. ——You don't seem to be familiar with the situation in Shizhou."

Lin Xidao: "I'm a woman, how can I know about those military affairs. It's just that you talk too much, so I don't want to ask."

After finishing speaking, I also thought it was funny, so I couldn't help laughing.

Lin Xi smiled, and it was like flowers blooming in front of her eyes.Wang Xiaolie's thoughts suddenly dissipated.

The next day, Wang Xiaolie looked at the salute Lin Xi had prepared for him, a pile of big and small bags, and couldn't help shaking his head.I am a member of the army, and I used to like to walk away with my legs up, so how can I say salute?Even the change of clothes is prepared by the soldiers.Lin Xi is different, with many names and categories.

Just before going out, Lin Xi called out, "The army sent us a new cotton jacket two days ago. It is light, comfortable and extra warm. You can wear it inside, and it doesn't matter how many clothes you wear outside. It's cold in the north, so you should change it in time. .”

Wang Xiaolie said: "That coat is worn inside when wearing armor, because I'm afraid it will be inconvenient in the cold weather in the north. I will wear it when I wear armor again."

Lin Xi said: "It's not just for wearing armor, it's also very convenient for everyday use."

Wang Xiaolie laughed out loud when he heard this, shook his head and left the room.

After crossing Zhongtiao Mountain and arriving in Jiang County, the sky became overcast.The north is howling, the withered grass is pushed away, and it is no longer suitable to hurry.

It was already noon when Wang Xiaohun arrived in Jiang County, seeing the bad weather, he took a rest.

Jiang County is the main road to Luoyang, and many people who went south lived outside the post station.Most of them were captured by the Jin people and went north, and recently went south.They were unlucky, they huddled in the shed outside the station in such weather, and lit several braziers to keep warm.

The post station is only cleaned up a little, so there is no leakage.The windows in many rooms are not tight enough, and there is no window paper, so I don't know how to survive the winter.

Wang Xiaoliu entered the station, looked at it and shook his head.Under such conditions, let the guards live in tents.

After looking at the place where he lived, Wang Xiaolie went back to the yard.The soldiers were preparing lunch, Wang Xiaolie said to Wang Ruohai and Wang Yan, "Let's go out and have a look. I don't know how the common people live in this weather."

When I left the post house, I saw porridge being given out in front of the big wooden shed next to me.Walking forward, I saw that it was rice porridge boiled by millet, which felt very thin.

Looking around, I saw the county magistrate of Jiang County standing aside.Seeing Wang Xiao hunting Shi's porridge and rice, he felt timid.

Wang Xiaolie asked the soldiers to come forward to make a bowl of porridge, took a sip, and couldn't help frowning.After calling the county magistrate, he shook his head and said, "In this weather, how can the people only eat a bowl of porridge? At least some dry food to fill their stomachs."

The county magistrate showed embarrassment.He cupped his hands and said: "The tens of thousands of troops ahead need food. Xuanfu, the humble officer can only do this. If they want to eat dry food, the others will have nothing to eat."

Wang Xiaolie turned around and looked at the people receiving the porridge.He said: "It's extremely cold today, and it's really not enough to just eat porridge. I also know that it's difficult for you. It's really difficult to raise military rations and then manage the food for the people who go south. Jiangxian County is a small county with a small population, and even less tax and food. How about this, even if I deliver food at noon today, please everyone add two steamed buns in addition to a bowl of porridge. By the way, also at night. Go tell them not to take the porridge. The millet will be more sticky after cooking for a while .”

The county magistrate's face was full of gratitude, and he hurriedly cupped his hands to express his thanks
Seeing the county magistrate rushing to get busy, Wang Xiaolie could only sigh in his heart
There were a lot of people going south and returning home, Wang Xiaolie originally wanted to send a special person to take charge of this matter.As a result, it only ran a few times, and there were fewer people in the back, and they didn't gather, so they stopped.The official arrangements stopped, but the pace of the people going south did not stop.The counties and counties that went south took responsibility.

It can't be blamed for the lack of rations given by the magistrate of Jiangxian County. The food here is really not easy.

Jiangxian County is a small county, so much money and food were levied under the rule of the Jin people, so there was no surplus food.There are tens of thousands of troops in Jinzhou ahead, and people eat horses and chews, so naturally they have to collect food from the local area.There is no better place in Jiang County.

A sheep cannot be killed in the market for a few days, and there are few open shops, which makes it even more deserted under such weather.This county seat is far inferior to a town in the Xiangyang area.A while ago, Wang Xiaolie decided to shrink the establishment, because the situation in Hedong was far worse than expected.

What can I do?We can only wait for time and slowly heal these wounds.

Henan Prefecture and these counties in the southeast of Henan were the most seriously injured.Henan Mansion is located in the middle, with both the population from the south and the people from the north moving south, the recovery is much faster.The south side of Hedong Road is different. The population is outflowing and the place is dilapidated. It will take a long time to recover.
