After interpenetrating with Lord Hou, he became addicted to house fighting

Chapter 1053

Zhong Shilang originally thought that the food at Qi Jun's house was bad enough, but he didn't expect that the food in the military camp was even worse!

The soldier lowered his head and began to eat.

Zhong Shilang looked at the brown rice mixed with rice bran and felt his throat hurt.

The soldier simply poured all the vegetables into the rice, stirred it up and ate hard.

At first glance, it seems that I am used to eating this kind of food.

Zhong Shilang couldn't help but feel sad.

The soldier finished his meal quickly. Seeing that Minister Zhong's portion was basically untouched, he asked, "Master Minister, don't you want to eat?"

"Are you not full yet?" Zhong Shilang asked.

The soldier nodded, "When we are not fighting, we always eat half full."

Zhong Shilang gave him his share and asked, "Why are you only half full?"

"Because there is no food!" the soldier sighed, "There is not much arable land here in the South China Sea, and the food production is not high, so there is very little that can be allocated to us.

“The government’s granary is not open to us.

"The food and wages allocated by the imperial court rarely arrive on time, but even if they do, we have big stomachs. If we eat them openly, it will still not be enough.

“So except when you have to eat a full meal during a war, you only eat half full at ordinary times.

“This is what we can only eat like this when our commander comes. In the past, we didn’t even have food like this!

"And at that time we only had two meals a day."

Zhong Shilang felt quite uncomfortable, so he thought for a moment and asked, "You just told me, Commander-in-Chief and you are eating the same thing?"

"Yes," the soldier said matter-of-factly, "What else? Moreover, the Marshal's meals were delivered late, so the portion he ate was even thinner." I heard that there used to be a General Xiao who was good at cooking and followed the Marshal. At that time, not to mention the commander, the food in the entire military camp was good.

"Isn't it this way? The guards are scattered. General Xiao has also been sent out. The general is patrolling everywhere and eating wherever he goes."

Zhong Shilang pursed his lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The soldier finished his meal quickly, returned the bowls and chopsticks, and pulled Mr. Zhong out of the dining room.

Zhong Shilang's steps were hurried and he said hurriedly: "Little brother, walk slower! Where are you taking me?"

"Master Zhong didn't see the commander-in-chief?" the soldier said in surprise, "It was just in time for the meal as soon as he arrived. Even though we are rough people, we also know how to serve the meal first.

"Now that we have eaten, let's go to the Marshal's place and have a look. The Marshal will have some free time."

Rong An had just finished his meal and was discussing with his subordinates the interrogation of the prisoner. When he learned that Mr. Zhong was coming, he did not see him and directly ordered: "Please go to our warehouse, Mr. Zhong."

Zhong Shilang was taken to the warehouse again without moving. The grain warehouse he went to first didn't have much food, and it was all brown rice, thick noodles, and some black beans.Beyond that is fodder for the horses.

The weapons in the arsenal are all in good condition, and some of them can still see signs of repair.

The soldier told him: "This is our foundation. The commander-in-chief said that no matter when the time comes, the arsenal in the military camp must be complete."

Zhong Shilang nodded in agreement, "But these should be issued by the imperial court, right?"

The soldier sneered, "You are such a high-minded person... you are waiting for the court to allocate everything to us. We are afraid that we will have nothing to use!"

Zhong Shilang frowned, "Impossible! The imperial court spends a huge amount on military equipment every year."

The soldier went to invite a deputy general in charge of the arsenal, "You can talk to the Minister, I don't know very well."
