The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 761 Statue of Silent Joining
"Brother Chu Mo, when a man speaks, he spits a nail and smashes the ground into a hole, but you must persevere." Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "In the training camp of the younger brother, there are no personal soldiers, no personal servants, even Elder brother is a general, and he has to do everything himself."

"Don't worry about this, brother is not a delicate person." Cheng Chu said silently, patting his chest.

"Well, brother, you are new here today, and those soldiers have been training since yesterday afternoon, and now in this camp, my little brother is here to make up lessons for you, and tell my brother the basic movements and rules that I left behind earlier. , Brother, you have to keep it in mind, in case you lose someone at that time, you can’t blame the younger brother for not telling the elder brother.”

Since Cheng Chumo wants to join, Xuan Shijing naturally treats Cheng Chumo equally. If the training is not hard, what results can be expected from the training?

"Then what shall we do now?" Cheng Chumo asked.

"Bring your tools and go to set up a tent." Xuan Shijing laughed.

"Just the two of us?" Cheng Chumo pointed at himself and Xuan Shijing in disbelief.

"Yeah, haven't I already said that here, I have to rely on myself for everything. My younger brother helped Elder Chu Mo set up a tent. Elder Chu Mo already owes my younger brother a favor, but he has to pay it back." Xuan Shijing narrowed his eyes. Said to Cheng Chumo with closed eyes and a smile on his face.

"Okay." Cheng Chumo scratched his head.

Although the environment in Shicheng was difficult, there were still soldiers around me anyway, such as setting up tents, and such chores were done by the soldiers, so I just took care of food and housing. I didn’t expect to come to Dongshan County. Chuang Tzu, when we arrive at Xuan Shijing's camp, we have to set up a tent by ourselves.

But when it comes to doing it himself, Cheng Chumo admires Xuan Shijing more and more, no matter what happened in Shicheng, or seeing Xuan Shijing training soldiers in the camp today, if what happened to him just now, is it right? He Cheng Chumo hurt his boss and was punished. He thought that the choice he made would be the same as those soldiers. No matter what, he still felt guilty.

If they wanted to set up the tent before the afternoon training, both Xuan Shijing and Cheng Chumo had to make preparations quickly. It was getting late, and it was only an hour and a half away from lunch time. The number of tents delivered yesterday was also Just right, now Xuan Shijing needs to go to the government office warehouse in Dongshan County with Cheng Chumo to pick up another tent.

The young master of the Cheng family, plus a Marquis of Dongshan, the magistrate of Dongshan naturally did not dare to neglect. After taking the tent, the two hurried back to the camp.

The place where Cheng Chumo's tent was set up was next to Xuan Shijing's tent, and the two of them worked together to beat wooden stakes on the ground and pull the rope to prop up the tent.

Not only did they have to support the tent, but Cheng Chumo also had to prepare daily necessities, such as the desk, the wooden frame for the washbasin, and after tinkering with the tent, the two of them had to go out for a few miles to cut some firewood in the woods.

Xuan Shijing's wisdom and Cheng Chumo's efforts, fortunately, Cheng Chumo's nest was built within an hour and a half. Not only that, Cheng Chumo's tent standard needs to be on par with Xuan Shijing's, not only including the objects, but also the degree of cleanliness and tidiness .

All the campsites are full of big pots of rice, and when it's time for meals, the cooks from Dongshan County Zhuangzi hired by Chang Le will deliver the big pots of rice.

If it is said that the time when these soldiers are most free is when they are eating, they gather in groups of three or five, chatting with their rice bowls, Xuan Shijing, like Cheng Chumo and these soldiers, found a clean place to hold their hands. He sat down with his rice bowl and vegetable bowl.

Sea pottery bowls are still used for eating. Xuan Shijing looked at the rice bowl in his hand, wondering in his heart, if he used this kind of sea pottery bowl during the march, it should be very inconvenient to carry. If he could make an iron lunch box ,That's good.

It just so happens that many blacksmiths are working in Zhuangzi now. It shouldn’t be difficult to make this kind of thing. After all, there have been many exquisite bronze wares before the Tang Dynasty, which means that the Tang Dynasty has this level of craftsmanship. Requirements, just change the material.

I don't know if it is possible to smelt iron into molten iron after having coal. In this case, it will be much more convenient, just make a few molds.

"Xiao Jing, the food in your camp is pretty good, and there is even meat to eat." Cheng Yaojin said while holding a sea bowl filled with meat,

"Soldiers don't have enough to eat, so how can they train with peace of mind? You only watched half of the training this morning, and this is just the beginning. The future training will only get more and more tiring day by day." Xuan Shijing said : "Eating a bowl of meat can fight hunger much better than eating three bowls of rice."

"Is this pork?" Cheng Chumo picked up a piece of meat and asked.

"Yes, it tastes good, you can try it." Xuan Shijing smiled.

Last night Xuan Shijing had a big pot meal with these government soldiers in the camp. The skill of handling the spoon was not bad, and the pork was handled properly, without any fishy smell, and it was stewed with wild vegetables. It tasted different taste.

Even if it is pork meat, the farmers in Dongshan County eat very little on weekdays. The pigs on the farm are fattened and slaughtered and brought to Chang'an City. They can be sold for a lot of money. It's different, it doesn't taste weird.

Therefore, when I learned that I had meat to eat every day during training in the camp, no matter how hard and tiring I was, it was worth it. Moreover, this kind of training was not only to have meat to eat, but also to be able to come back alive, right?

Cheng Chumo also ate pork meat at his own house in Chang'an City, but it was bought from Dongshan County and served on the table after the cook cooked it carefully. It tasted delicious, but eating pork meat in this military camp is still a It was the first time, and seeing Xuan Shijing eating so happily, the pork must have come from Dongshan County.

This kid's taste is very picky, but it is really generous enough for three hundred soldiers to train and eat meat every now and then.

Cheng Chumo picked up the sea pottery bowl containing white rice, put the vegetable bowl on the ground, and began to eat with vegetables and rice.

The stewed pork with wild vegetables is very fragrant, and there is nothing messy in it. A lot of salt is added to supplement the salt, and the dish is slightly salty, enough to serve with rice.

After eating, there is a quarter of an hour to rest. At this time, the soldiers in the camp will follow the rules set before, and return to their tents honestly.She rested on the bed for a while, but Xuan Shijing and Cheng Chumo didn't get such a good treatment. Now Xuan Shijing needs to "make up lessons" for Cheng Chumo.

It's very simple to stand in the military posture, and stand at attention after a while. The soldiers of the government can do it very standard now, and Cheng Chumo is not bad. Among the government soldiers, it will not be abrupt.
