Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 227
At the same time, the eight battalions outside the city were full of noise and boiling, and all the resting officers and soldiers surrounded the West 23rd and 24th tents.

"Old Li, Liu Dutou, this fruit is really useful! Where did you get it, do you still have it?"

"Yeah, yeah, it's only been a day, and the wound that was half rotten in the morning is almost healed."

The soldiers onlookers asked excitedly, and Mr. Li and Liu Dutou who were asked were also excited, delighted and shocked this time, so no one answered their words.

After checking the injuries of more than [-] wounded soldiers, Mr. Li was shocked!

Because the wounds of all the soldiers who ate the fruit healed quickly without exception, and the speed was three to five times faster than ordinary decoctions!
It would be great if there were many of these fruits!Old military doctor Li was delighted and regretful.

Liu Dutou, who was next to him, was also shocked in his heart. Although he had expected this situation, after confirming it with his own eyes, the excitement and surging in his heart were still hard to restrain.

But when he thought of the few fruits that had all been distributed, he felt as sorry as Mr. Li.

Facing inquiries from many officers and soldiers both inside and outside the tent at this time, both of them were speechless at the same time, not knowing how to answer.

It is a good thing that the fruit has been proved to have miraculous effects, but the difficulty is that it is hard to come by
Just when the two were stunned, thinking about how to answer so as not to disappoint the sergeants, a harsh voice came from outside, "What are you doing here, there is no need to practice, spread out, spread out!"

"The commander has a miracle." A sergeant said.

"What strange thing?"

As the words fell, a middle-aged man in his early forties and wearing armor, and a man in his early twenties with a beardless face stepped in from outside.

"Commander, Zhang Neiguan." Liu Du stepped forward and saluted.

"What's going on?" Commander Fu glanced at the tent, "What's so strange that they all gather here?"

"Commander, that's it." Liu Du took a few steps forward and whispered the matter.

After listening to Commander Fu, he was stunned for a while, and said in astonishment: "What you said is true, I have confirmed it, is it not a misunderstanding?"

"No, Mr. Li has verified it, and the injuries on these sergeants are the best proof."

Commander Fu glanced at the sergeant sitting on the ground. As the wounds had just been inspected, all the soldiers had not put on their clothes. Commander Fu glanced at the wounds that were in different positions but large or small. fundus.

Although these wounds were still a little red, a little swollen, and some of the edges were even blackened, they were beyond his expectation, and made him subconsciously believe Liu Dutou's words.

You must know that this batch of wounded soldiers was sent only the evening before yesterday.

Although he hadn't seen their injuries for the first time, but from his past experience, he could guess with seven or eight points that it must be "burning fragrance overflowing, and howling incessantly."

Those who were able to retreat from the diving team to the camp to recuperate were all seriously injured, unable to recover in a short period of time, and returned only after being unable to continue to stand guard, so their injuries were by no means minor.

But now.
On the side, Zhang Neiguan, who came with him, rolled his eyes after hearing this, and then narrowed his eyes slightly.

The next day, the fifth day of May, the Dragon Boat Festival.

Early in the morning, Xiaocang Lane is full of cooking smoke, the leaves are fragrant, and all kinds of sweet smells come from the curling smoke.

"Hey, slow down, don't fall."

Wen's house is opposite the door, Wang Jia Dalang and Erlang, under the command of her mother, move out the Aihu made of wormwood and bamboo.

Mrs. Zhang next door came out with a bunch of zongzi: "Come here, Mrs. Wang, the zongzi just cooked at home, stuffed with sweet dates, isn't your Erlang's favorite food, take it."

"Oh, thank you very much, my zongzi is also on the pot, and it is cooking. This year, it is made of millet brown. The millet inside is specially bought from the Zhangjiashan store on Bianhe Street. His millet is famous for its quality. , it’s fragrant and glutinous, I’ll cook it later, I’ll send you a few.”

"That's a good relationship. My second girl has always been greedy for this. She has been busy for the past two days and didn't have time to buy it. It's all right now."

"Your Erya likes to eat, so I'll give you some more later."

Such scenes are constantly being staged in the alley.

In the Wen Family Courtyard, the kitchen that had been silent for several days also rose from cooking smoke today.

Old Man Wen sat down sweating profusely and set a fire under the stove. Fifty zongzi wrapped overnight were boiling in the pot on the stove.Wen Shuer was in the courtyard, pointing to a "green tiger" to explain the truth to the fat-stealing bird.

"This is Aihu. It's used to drive away evil spirits and avoid evil spirits. Dad stuck it out yesterday after piercing it. You can't hold it in your mouth. If it breaks, you won't be able to drive away evil spirits."

The fat-stealing bird didn't know if it had listened, but its eyes were still piercingly looking at the "green tiger" opposite.

Seeing the posture that might pounce on him at any time gave Wen Shu a headache, "You can't touch it, and I won't give you meat if you touch it."

"Quack~quack"

The fat-stealing bird chirped twice, and was about to fly away with a flap of its wings.

Wen Shu hugged it extremely quickly, "Don't move other people's ones."

It is a custom to place an ai tiger at the door during the Dragon Boat Festival. It has the meaning of exorcising evil and transforming evil spirits, symbolizing that all poisons and evils will not invade, so it is necessary to ensure that the "tiger body" is intact.If it is damaged, it means that this year will be full of bad luck, and everything will fail, which is extremely bad luck.

Wen Shu had already explained the reasoning to Hong Ying all morning, in order to prevent one of them from being caught off guard and causing troubles, but today it seems to be particularly "stubborn, eager to fly out several times.

If she hadn't stopped her, something might have happened.

Father Wen heard it in the kitchen, and smiled and said: "Maybe it just wants to play with the tiger. I remember when you were young, I bought you a cloth tiger. You can look for it. Maybe if you have that, it will come to you." Stop staring at Ai Hu."

As soon as Wen Shu heard that it made sense, she picked up Hongying and went to her father's room.

There's no way, don't hold her, she's afraid that if she turns around, this guy will bite the Aihu in the yard to pieces.

Holding Hongying in her arms, she slowly moved to the main room, and then from the main room to her father's room. The moment the door closed, Wen Shu put the fat-stealing bird down with relief.

"You don't have to worry about it, just stay well." After saying that, he turned around in the room.

There was no movement behind him for a long time, and Father Wen turned his head to look, only to find that the courtyard was empty. He shook his head with a smile, but immediately remembered something, hurriedly stood up from the low stool, got up and went outside.

At this time, there was another commotion from the courtyard door, and the loud and clear voice of Mrs. Wang from the opposite side rang out, "Is shopkeeper Wen here?"

"Yes." Father Wen, who had just walked to the door of the main room, answered, turned and went outside the courtyard.

"Is Mrs. Wang here?"

"Just cooked zongzi, girl Shu hurt her hand, so don't let her do the work. There are so many Shu houses in the neighborhood, and a bundle from one family is enough for you to eat for several days."

"Thank you, sister-in-law. Ah Ning is hurt, and I can still move. The rice dumplings were wrapped last night and are cooking on the stove. When they are cooked, bring some to my sister-in-law's house. They don't look very good, sister-in-law. Don't be disgusted."

When the conversation outside started, Wen Shu was pulling out the bundles from under the bed. She opened the two bundles, one gray and one black, and checked them one by one.

But after a while, she fell into confusion.

Was the family rich before?Otherwise, why is there such an expensive swaddle?

Is this swaddling baby brother's, or hers?

Looking at the satin swaddle with a bright red bottom and embroidered gold patterns in the black package, Wen Shu fell into deep thought.
