Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 108 The Foodie General is Unreliable

Gong Zhiming was silent. It's not that he hadn't thought of this method, but just like he had buried spies in other prefectures, this city of Qianzhou definitely did not lack the court's manpower.If it was as Qian Liang said, if someone tampered with the padded clothes, the entire military strategy might be ruined.

Victory or defeat often lies in the slightest difference in details, and he really dare not take such a dangerous risk unless it is a last resort.

At this moment, two generals walked in outside the lobby.The two secretly pushed and shoved each other, looked up at Qian Liang with a puzzled look on his face, and smiled awkwardly, "We wanted to report to the general sometimes, but we forgot when we got outside the door. Hehe!"

Qian Liang heard black lines all over his head. Xihao had long rumored that General Gongzhi was strict in running the army, and had countless strong generals under him. Otherwise, he would not have put his wealth and life on the side of the rebels without hesitation.But looking at it today, with these foolish lieutenants, can the rebel army really win?
Gong Zhiming was well aware of the purpose of these two people's visit, so he waited for them with a hard look but did not speak.

Sure enough, the two shamelessly found a chair and sat down, stretching their necks and looking out of the hall from time to time, but unfortunately, colleagues gathered one after another, but the cold-faced girl never disappeared.

Qian Liang was shrewd, so he always felt that the situation in the lobby was a bit weird, so he quickly got up and made an excuse, "General, I still have some business to deal with, so I'm resigning."

Gong Zhiming waved his hands, and said with a smile, "No matter how much work you have to do, it's not too late. Let's stay and have dinner together."

"Ah?" Qian Liang glanced again at the many generals whose faces seemed to be getting more rosy, and couldn't hold back the question that blurted out, "Could it be that the generals are all here to eat?"

"Ahem!" Hearing this, most of the generals coughed, and some of them were rather thin-skinned, and they raised their eyes to study how many purlins were inlaid on the roof.

Fortunately, Uncle Yun spoke outside the hall in time, and quickly rescued the generals who almost died of embarrassment.

"Master, Yunying is here."

"Come in, otherwise most of the generals of the Rebel Army will starve to death before the Zhuzhou side kills them!" Closing his ears, the fawning crowd came forward to bear the burden on Yunying's shoulders, and the cook who came in hurriedly rushed to serve rice and bread.

Soon, the aroma of food wafted in the lobby.

Holding chopsticks in his hand, Qian Liang was a little silly looking at the bowl of white rice and the bowl of stewed chicken and mushrooms in front of him, not knowing what to do.

On the contrary, Gong Zhiming was thinking about his first time listening to people eating, and signaled Uncle Yun to share half of the white meat with garlic paste and pig's ear with red oil in front of him, and give this obviously weak civil servant.

Qian Liang gratefully accepted it, and then saw that the generals were gnawing on the sauce spine in their hands while staring at his plate, so Ji Lingling shuddered and immediately started to eat.

I don't know if it's because of rushing to eat deliciously, or because he didn't have time to eat in the morning, Qian Liang ate enough for the first time in many years.When he got up to thank him, Da Da burped, and was blushed and thick necked by the laughter of the jealous generals.

Gong Zhiming waved away these subordinates who turned into gluttons to grab food every lunch time, and when he was about to talk to Qian Liang about the military equipment, Yun Ying who had finished picking up the burden said, "Master, Miss Ding, listen up!" Said that you were in trouble because of the military preparations for the winter, so I asked my servant to bring a letter."

After saying this, she took the letter out of her arms and accepted it with both hands.

A faint warmth flashed in Gong Zhiming's eyes, thinking of the more and more meals delivered every day, thinking of the pear paste soup in hand, clothes, shoes and socks on his body, at this moment, the suppressed thoughts in his heart suddenly flooded into disaster.

"Is the house okay?"

Yunying couldn't guess that the young master asked not about the family, but the mother and son, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, young master, the family is fine. The whole village is busy collecting firewood for the winter. A few days ago, the pond I dug out all the lotus roots. Miss Ding taught everyone to pickle more than 100 jars of spicy lotus root with wild pepper. After a while, I will definitely send it to the young master to taste. Brother Ang has become more naughty these days , ran around with my second baby, and yesterday I was going to pull the horse's tail, but I didn't cry after being beaten by Miss Ding a few times."

Gong Zhiming heard it, wishing he could fly back with his wings.pity. . .

He reluctantly collected his mind before opening the envelope.But after seeing it, he couldn't help admiring, and said straight, "Okay, this is a good way!"

Qian Liang felt as if grass grew in his heart when he heard it, he stretched his neck and wanted to take a peek but felt impolite, Bie Yunying stared and quickly lowered his head.

But Gong Zhiming didn't see this, he received the letter and said excitedly, "Fu Yin Qian, go and get busy, there is no need to embarrass the matter of armaments."

Qian Liang wanted to ask a few more questions, but Yunying was staring at him, so he had no choice but to get up and leave.

Yunying also heard a few words from Ding Wei, and the family has even started to build a house.Now he said, "Master, then I'll go back and tell Miss Ding that we're recruiting people."

Gong Zhiming nodded, "Tomorrow, together with cotton and cloth, I will send another ten carts of food. You tell her...to take care of yourself, I will go back when I have time."

"Yes, sir."

Yunying picked up the burden and went out, and Feng Jiu had already rushed out from nowhere with a bitter face.

Yunying was amused, and took out an oiled paper bag from the skin bag hanging on the side of the burden, and said angrily, "Don't worry, Miss Ding specially told you to bring some meat buns for you."

Feng Jiu was really overjoyed, grabbed the steamed stuffed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, complaining vaguely, "Sister Ding is the best, ever since Lieutenant General Yuchi came here to eat, I haven't had enough."

Yunying heard it funny, but she also knew what this kid was up to, "Just rest your mind, the family has already replaced the food box with a rice bucket, I can't come here with an iron pot."

Feng Jiu made a bitter face, and took a few more bites of the steamed stuffed bun fiercely, "If I don't worry about the young master, I really want to go back and serve the little master!"

"Shut up!" Yun Ying frowned, quickly glanced around, and finally slapped Feng Jiu hard, "Did you forget your head on the roof, dare to say anything!"

Feng Jiu was also startled to realize that he was speechless, and he didn't dare to cry out in pain, so he ran away with the buns in his arms.

Unable to do so, Yunying stomped her feet angrily, and finally went out with the burden, got into the car and went back to Zhuangzi.

Although the city of Qianzhou was not considered the most severely drought-stricken prefecture, it was much more miserable than in previous years.In addition, a large number of refugees came here. Even if the government government did its best to provide relief, and there were two gruel every morning and evening, it was a pity that many people still had no food and clothing. The men were better. Whether they were working or joining the rebel army, they would not starve to death.When it comes to suffering, it is the old and the young and the women.

In and outside the city, no matter in the grass huts under the trees or in the shelters at the base of the walls, you can see yellow, emaciated women and children in scanty clothes almost everywhere. As long as someone passes by, they will stretch out their hands and beg, hoping to get a baby. Half a piece of pancake can also help children live a few more days.

But every time they come back disappointed, so some people are forced to have a flesh and blood birthday, and the flower houses in the city have really added a lot of new faces.

In the afternoon of this day, there was news that there was a notice posted in front of the government office, that all women and girls who knew how to sew could go to Yunjiazhuang in the south of the city to work. It is to allow women to bring their children into the village together.

As soon as the news came out, it was like adding a ladle of cold water to a pan of oil. Even though I still had some doubts in my heart, firstly, the government posted a notice as a guarantee, and secondly, the god of death stood above his head and raised a sickle. , Even the mountains of swords and seas of fire have to try.

As a result, before the sky was completely dark, the Yun Family Manor, which had been bustling for half a month, was even more overcrowded.There were two or three hundred women dragging their children, standing stiffly at Zhuangkou, their eyes full of hope for life.

Ding Wei took Aunt Li and Xiao Qingyunying with her, and she couldn't help her nose regurgitate after just a few glances.If a woman doesn't even have a sense of shame, she's probably walked past the gate of death so many times.

Ding Wei hurriedly called the mother-in-law of Yuan Qinghe's family, and ordered, "Sister-in-law Yuan, you will bring the women in the village to boil more water, and Aunt Li will send you medicine powder. You should work harder first, so that these women People and children wash their hair once, and then help find some old clothes for them to change, and I will mend your new fabrics and cotton later. Remember that those who don’t take a bath or change clothes can’t be put in Zhuangzi. If there is an epidemic, it will be a big deal gone."

"Okay, don't worry, girl." Yuan Qinghe's mother-in-law responded with a brisk temper, patting her chest, "They are all poor people, and no one is willing to see these sisters suffer, but the family was too poor before, and they really couldn't help them. Now that the girl has shown kindness, we will accumulate virtue after suffering more!"

After all, she rushed to find various women to arrange work, and the big bathtubs, small wooden barrels, and even gourds and ladles of every household were turned out.The water was boiled in the kitchen all night, and the firewood was so red that the night sky above Yunjiazhuang seemed to be three points brighter.

After such a busy night, more than 500 women and children, big and small, saw the early winter sun again with clean faces.Sister-in-law Yuan and other women in the Zhuang household were so tired that they almost collapsed. Fortunately, although these women and children have been living outside for a long time, most of them still have a change of clothes. Otherwise, it may not be enough to contribute the clothes of the whole village. points.

Ding Wei got up early to settle down her son, took Yunying, Xiaoqing and others to pick up the women, and drove Sister Yuan, who was furious, to go back to catch up on sleep.But sister-in-law Yuan and the others were not colorless, they all wanted to show their loyalty in front of the master's house, so they suppressed their sleepiness and smiled and said they couldn't sleep.

Ding Wei's side was short of manpower, so she didn't pretend to be pretentious, and directly asked Xiaoqing to go back and order Aunt Li to stew an extra meat dish at noon, and each farmer would send a Haiwan bowl to reward everyone for their hard work.

Sure enough, Sister-in-law Yuan and the others were all happy to thank them, and the sleepiness on their bodies disappeared in an instant.Doing work with such a master is not afraid even if it is a little tiring. After all, the master sees it and will never treat everyone badly.
