Chapter 159 Food Issues
Recently, the grains in the granaries in the suburbs of Beijing have been delivered one after another, and they are distributed in each city.

Although it is not enough to last through the winter, there is a full amount for two or three months. If the previous distribution method is used, it will be barely enough to support the next spring.

Before the food was distributed, Song Qingzhai called all the generals together, asked Mother Wen to help, and made a sumptuous banquet, but there was no wine.

All kinds of ingredients are selected and put aside for people to visit.

Everyone knows that such simple ingredients can turn out so many tricks, and the rare thing is that the tastes are different.

The generals ate heartily, and Hu Lie even clamored to poach the cook away.

Song Qingzhai smiled faintly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to poach it away. The person who presides over the cooking is Madam Wen from the princess' side."

Hu Lie was taken aback, "The princess is really full of talents! Brother Xie's boxing skills are very good. I heard that he was the commander of the guards in Da Nei. He lost his position when he committed a crime. But the head found a place to use it in the princess.

"What's going on with Mother Wen?"

That day, I just listened to Guo Shun's brief talk, and didn't know the details.

Sister Wen happened to bring someone over to deliver the soup, and said, "General Hu, this old servant is an old man from the former Qin Palace, and he used to work in the imperial dining room.

"Because I offended the favorite concubine at the time, I almost lost my life, and was thrown into the cold palace after many times, so I had the opportunity to serve the princess."

The matter of the late Qin emperor and empress is their biggest secret, and they can't say anything about it.

Hu Lie nodded, and said again: "Would it be possible to leave with me? I, Hu, will take care of your retirement! I just ask you to help me fix my cook!"
"What they cook every day is simply pig food!

"It's hard for our stomachs, we have been harmed by them for so many years, and we haven't rebelled yet!"

Everyone laughed.

Mother Wen waited for everyone to finish laughing before saluting and said: "Please forgive me, the general, the old slave will not leave the princess. The princess is very kind to the old slave."

Hu Lie couldn't help admiring: "Well, well, everyone knows how to be grateful! The princess is a good person, and the group of people who follow the princess are also good!"

Mother Wen smiled and said: "Although the old slave can't go, but if the general sends someone, the old slave will definitely not hide his secrets."

Hu Lie's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "It's a deal?"

Sister Wen nodded with a smile.

The rest of the generals also spoke up one after another, wanting to send a cook over to study.

Song Qingzhai cleared his throat, everyone quieted down, and then he said: "Well, let my guys here learn from Nanny Wen first, and then go to other cities to teach skills after learning."

Fearing that the generals would not accept it, he added: "When they were in the capital earlier, they had a discussion."

Only then did the generals agree.

Hu Lie asked again: "Your Majesty, I have seen the grain delivered at the end. There is this corn or something in it. Can we discuss it? Let's not move these things. Anyway, we have survived the hardship before. Let's endure it again." Once boiled, keep more seeds, and we will grow more in the next spring.

"Fucking enough to tighten your belt!"

Although the generals didn't speak, they expressed roughly the same meaning.

Song Qingzhai looked around and said in a deep voice, "I called everyone here today to talk about this matter.

"As for the matter of grain seeds, the princess and I have already made arrangements in Beijing.

"Rations are rations, and grains are grains. The grains given to us by the princess are all carefully selected. In order to ensure the next year's harvest, they are much better than rations.

"So there's no need for everyone to save their rations to make grain seeds. As for farming, it's still the same sentence. Everything is arranged by the princess."
