Xianggong came from the mountains

Chapter 348 Raw Rice Cooked Mature Rice
Zhu Xiaochang directly refused without hesitation: "Miss, you have a baby in your belly, you should rest well, and leave all the rough work to me. Qing He hasn't gotten up yet, so you go prepare some gruel and eat it together when she gets up."

Qinglian went to the kitchen with a smile, and Zhu Dongmei hurried to help.

Zhu Xiaochang said last night that he would invite everyone to drink. This matter is not just talk, he is thinking about really inviting everyone to have a drink. These days, he has been eating and drinking in the village. Xia Qinghe said it a long time ago I want to invite everyone to come and gather together.

When Xia Qinghe woke up, the gruel was already on the table.

Zhu Xiaochang cleaned up the yard, and the whole yard looked much bigger.

"Xiao Chang, why is it so early today?" Xia Qinghe asked, rubbing her eyes, and sat around eating together after washing up.

Zhu Xiaochang recounted everything that happened last night, and said, "Qinghe, what do we plan to do next?"

Xia Qinghe picked up the porridge and drank it slowly, thinking about how to live this year, she suddenly had a good idea.

"That's great. You go to the town to buy half a pig and come back, and then go to the next village to buy a sheep. Then we will roast the sheep and make soup, and then make some steamed buns to make some side dishes to eat with the steamed buns. Basically, it's almost the same. , You roasted rabbits around the fire with everyone yesterday, which made me feel very good, and everyone can talk together again, it's lively, I'll just see it like this."

Zhu Xiaochang felt that one sheep was not enough, and everyone in the village could eat it, and everyone ate quickly when they were excited, and mutton was rarely seen on weekdays. Everyone must love it.

"Qinghe, I was thinking that one sheep is not enough, why not buy two? We roast one and a half sheep, and we keep the remaining half for the New Year." He suggested.

Xia Qinghe is not stingy with money, as long as everyone eats happily, it is not the most important thing to spend. Since Zhu Xiaochang proposed it, she has his reasons, so she took out the money bag and gave it to Zhu Xiaochang: "There are more than a dozen taels in it." Silver, after you buy what you need, you can keep the rest. Last year, I made a lot of money. I gave Qinglian all of Dongmei’s wages, and I will store it there as a dowry. I don’t know when Xiao Chu will come back. Thinking about taking advantage of the cold weather to send a few sheep to the border."

She has become addicted to sending things recently, the last time she received a letter from Xiao Chu was seven or eight days ago, and there are still a few days before Chinese New Year, so she doesn't know what happened to Xiao Chu.

border.

It was snowing heavily, the wind was howling, and the wind was blowing loudly. Even if there was a brazier in the tent, it was still cold. After all, tents are not as shelter from wind and rain as houses.

Xiao Chu sat on the edge of the brazier and stretched out his hands to warm the fire, Da Huzi sat on one side, Zhu Pingan and Er Gouzi also sat around the brazier, a cold wind blew in and they shivered from the cold.

Xiao Chu was wrapped in a thick padded jacket, which was very common in the village. Xia Qinghe entrusted someone to bring it, and he was usually reluctant to wear it.

Da Huzi sneezed, woke up from the cold and said, "It's too cold this winter. The main thing is that we are still stationed by the river. We can't bear the wind from the river."

"No, I feel like my hands and face don't belong to me now." Er Gouzi rubbed his cold hands. He just entered the tent after he was on guard outside.

Zhu Pingan talked about something else: "The first batch of food and grass has been received, and you don't have to worry about eating and drinking for the soldiers anymore, and the meat sent by Qinghe, everyone can have a good year, thanks to this time Qinghe, if we hadn’t delivered food every day during that time, we would not have persisted until now, and we must make up for Qinghe when we triumph.”

He is also in charge of food and grass affairs. He naturally knew how difficult it was at the beginning. Xiao Chu confessed when Xia Qinghe sent the first batch of food and grass. People were struggling to buy food everywhere, and later it was found out that the robbery of food and grass was caused by the enemy's country. They wanted to draw out the bottom line, but Xia Qinghe's accident happened.

A steady stream of vermicelli was sent in, and occasionally a pig, a cart of sauerkraut and so on were sent in. In short, everyone's food has improved a lot, and the soldiers have not been hungry, although the things Xia Qinghe sent did not meet the needs of the entire army. , but it also greatly relieved a large part of the pressure, especially the vermicelli, which he felt was necessary for marching and fighting.

He thought of this and said excitedly: "My lord, you can eat this vermicelli after a little cooking. The most important thing is that it is easy to carry. Ask Qinghe if this can be improved. If the soldiers can bring their own dry food to fight , wouldn’t it be a pleasure.”

Because last time he soaked vermicelli by himself and felt the magic inside, he thought that Xia Qinghe must have a lot of other ideas. If he can solve the problem of food for marching and fighting, and it is convenient for everyone to carry it, he will have an advantage in future battles. Think about it, If they don't have to set up camp to solve everyone's food problems during the war, they will have more time to fight, and they will have an advantage when they are exhausted with the enemy.

Xiao Chu nodded in satisfaction, patted Zhu Ping'an's shoulder appreciatively and said: "Ping'an, you think the same as I think. I also thought of this before, but I can't go back for the time being. Even if there is a solution to these things It also needs to be kept secret, and the delivery is unreliable."

He also missed Xia Qinghe, and his heart felt sweet when he thought of Xia Qinghe.

Da Huzi tilted his head and sighed: "Going out for a trip, my daughter-in-law is gone, why did I think Li Hehua was good when I was blind, and the things my mother wrote to me felt like a dream, and Li Hehua was too sweet. It's shameless, and my mother is kind-hearted, if I were at home, I would definitely not let her go."

He just couldn't figure it out, he was kind to Li Hehua, but he was betrayed in the end.

Er Gouzi rolled his eyes at Da Huzi and said, "You were going to be blind back then. Qinghe even tried to persuade you to come and tell you not to rush and look for it slowly, but you and your mother just didn't listen. Look how smart I am. When they returned home triumphantly, those girls lined up to be matchmakers."

He laughed as he talked, now he is a small leader in the military camp, if he can win the battle, there will be a lot of benefits, and then he is afraid that he will not be able to marry a wife?At the end, I added a sentence: "You should be glad that you broke up with Li Hehua. If it doesn't continue, who knows what kind of moth Li Hehua will make."

Da Huzi scratched his head and felt that what Er Gouzi said made sense. Fortunately, his relationship with Li Hehua was not too deep, but he felt uncomfortable.

The only thing Xiao Chu is thinking about now is Xia Qinghe, but he is also planning, sooner or later he has to go back to the palace, and if he wants to take Xia Qinghe back in an open and honest manner, he can only cook rice, and it is best to have a child...

Thinking of this, Xiao Chu smiled unkindly.
