Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 10 Settlement
Zhao Ying calmly picked it up and took a bite. After a short pause, the crepes mixed with fat were a little tough and very fragrant.

He lowered his head and ate the two rolls with the mung bean and corn porridge, and he was still a little bit unsatisfied after eating.

After a moment of silence, he asked for another copy.

Several long followers who served him outside were shocked when they saw another meal being brought in. After the shock, they were so moved that their eyes filled with tears, and they called Amitabha in their hearts.

The fear of losing his head at any time can finally be eliminated.

It has been more than half a month, and they have nightmares every night, dreaming that the Duke is tired, sick, hungry and thin, and they are dragged down and beheaded by the enraged His Majesty.

In fact, before Zhao Ying came here, he never thought that the food of the brave army could be so bad. The steamed buns were so hard that the teeth could not be swallowed, and all kinds of vegetables could not be swallowed.

If the chefs at Huotouying knew about Zhao Ying's complaints, they would definitely want to cry. This is the Duke of the State, who dares to serve him carelessly?
The food delivered to him has been carefully packed!According to the Duke's request, it was replaced with the food of ordinary soldiers, bran, grass seeds, sawdust mixed with steamed black cooking cakes, the Duke dared to eat it, but they were afraid that the one who ate it would spoil his stomach and everyone would lose their heads together.

Zhao Ying felt very calm. Although the food was so bad that he couldn't eat it, he took the lead in asking the officers and soldiers to eat together, and he would never back down, or even show any dissatisfaction.Not to mention the servants and maidservants brought in against the law to cook for him alone, they couldn't do it well anyway.

But... After eating this meal today, he suddenly felt that if he continued like before, he might not be able to last for too long.

Different from ordinary people, Zhao Ying has suffered a lot because of that tongue since he was a child, and for some reason, the delicacies prepared by the royal chef in the palace can be described as delicacies in the world, and there are no surprises, but no matter what kind of food, it is rare for him to eat it few.

Most of them are full of unbearable strange smells, and only the freshest ingredients and the most tender meat, after the hands of the top chefs in the imperial dining room, can have one-tenth, or even one-hundredth of them. The dishes made him feel palatable.

It's also just edible.

In order not to starve himself to death, Zhao Ying always felt that no matter how unbearable the food was, he could use it to satisfy his hunger when necessary.

Unexpectedly, when he came to the brave army, in order to suppress the evil spirits in the army, he was as self-disciplined as he, and almost overturned.

A good thing happened today.This court meal was simple and ordinary. Compared with the imperial meals he had eaten before, it was nothing special, but it was very strange. It was the first time that he knew that eating was such a wonderful thing.

After hesitating for a while, Zhao Ying beckoned, and Li Sheng, the leader next to him, came over and told in a low voice that Wang Zhixian and Zhou Xianwei had gone to the village to find a new cook.

Zhao Ying nodded.

The long follower didn't dare to say anything, but he praised Wang Zhixian and the others in his heart. It was too late for his cleverness. The Duke said that the officers and soldiers should eat together, so you don't know how to arrange the meals of the entire brave army in advance?Fool!
……

The sun hangs brightly in the sky.

The tents in a row fluttered and rustled in the wind.

Humming to a song, Gu Xiang washed and rinsed happily, chopped and chopped, and fried vegetarian meatballs in a pot. The freshly picked mushrooms were fried until they were charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and they tasted not much worse than meat.

The corn is finely ground, and the cooked rice porridge is orange-yellow and fragrant.

Beans make homemade soy milk, tender tofu or fried or marinated, and then a cold tofu skin, tofu dregs are also used, stir-fried with sauce and green onion, the taste is also very unique.Add some wild vegetables to make steamed buns with wild vegetables, as well as siu mai, steamed dumplings...

Minced pork and chopped peppers make the meat sandwiches so fragrant that people can't wait to burst their stomachs.

I took some time to make some big Lieba. This is mainly because she has always eaten and cooked it since she was a child, and she is familiar with it. She never thought that it would suit the appetite of these soldiers.

The smell in the kitchen is endless all day long, attracting stray cats and dogs to wander outside.

In just half a day, the Huotouying kitchen changed drastically, with new recipes suddenly enriched, and every time the soldiers entered the dining hall, it was like a treasure hunt.

"The dishes in our kitchen are not too different from those of those aristocratic families."

A group of help cooks are honored.

Among them, Daliba bread is also quite popular. The cooks and soldiers of the brave army are very adventurous and do not reject fresh food at all.

Gu Xiang laughed: "It's just a homely routine, it's far from being compared with a serious chef."

Before the meal time came, there were many soldiers hiding outside, poking their heads, Lao Du greeted them, and they all laughed and dispersed.

"These people are dog noses."

Old Du is embarrassed.

When dinner was ready, Gu Xiang watched helplessly as a soldier with a height of at least 1.8 meters stood in line three times.

At first, Lao Du pretended not to notice, but when he saw that he was going to wait for the fourth time, he couldn't help rolling his eyes: "It's almost done, and I'm not afraid of being sacked."

Then—the 1.8 meters kid came again with a dusty hat.

Gu Xiang: "..."

Just those two legs that are much longer than others, not to mention wearing a hat, even a full armor, even covering the face, it is impossible not to recognize it.

Old Du shook his head with disgust on his face, and with a smile on his face, he said very politely: "Is Gu Xiaoche still used to it? If there is anything missing, just come to me."

Gu Xiang responded with a smile.

The guest room that Lao Du arranged for her was not in the barracks of Huotouying.

The people living there are all elders, and it is inconvenient for her, a woman who has not left the court, to camp alone.

Officials like those in Wangzhi County think about big things, and as long as they can eat decent meals, they are satisfied, but it doesn't matter whether the person he sends to the military camp to cook is a young woman or a beautiful woman.

Lao Du was holding a piece of hot potato that was hot to his hands, and racked his brains to find a place for Gu Xiang to live.

Just to the west of the barracks in the Huotou camp, the area used to be used by the officers to open a small kitchen, now lives in a few women who are in charge of cleaning, and it is the only place in the camp with women.

Next to it is the camp of the servants of Lord Guo. When An Guogong came, he brought his servants and his maidservant with him. It is considered safe to place Gu Xiaochu nearby.

Gu Xiang looked at the simple tent with only a bed, a simple square table and benches, and he didn't dislike it. Compared with the Gu family's house, it was at least brighter, and it was very quiet here. It was strictly guarded against. When she moved in, she could only faintly see the graceful backs of a few female relatives, which was completely different from the painting style here.

It's good to be quiet, Gu Xiang likes quiet.

Because the space is very spacious, she also partitioned a small kitchen for herself, so that she can also cover up when practicing cooking in the system space in the future.

It's just that a place that is too quiet is likely to attract some poisonous insects, snakes and ants, so she took out the insecticide that she was going to use to set up a stall in the night market and sprayed it around.

At least it can play a comforting role.

Time flies extremely fast.

Gu Xiang's personality is not bad, and her craftsmanship is really good. She blended into the atmosphere of Huotou Camp without knowing it. Most of the cooks who watched coldly regarded her as one of their own.

Now she monopolizes a piece of stove behind Maolin, and Old Du himself brings seven or eight kitchen helpers to help her.
