From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 69

Seeing that she was not moving her chopsticks and frowning all the time, Mei Xin thought it was because the food was not to her liking, so she said in a low voice, "Miss Bai, it's hard work to go out and sleep in the open air, I'll send someone into the city tomorrow morning to buy some steamed stuffed buns and beef... "

Hearing the sound, Bai Zhi blushed, and she blurted out in shame, "No, no, I just think the Major General is too polite to me. Since I serve the Major General as a slave, I should be like Luo Qiu and the others. .I will eat whatever they eat, and I will do whatever they want. I can’t be special, and I shouldn’t eat better than the Major General’s food. This is against the rules.”

After finishing speaking, Bai Zhi put the white rice in front of her aside, then reached out and took out a piece of dark multi-grain pancake from the pot.Although she was born in a small family and a child from a small family, she has learned a lot of rules in the An family for so many years.As a servant, but eating better than the master, this is arrogance and even disrespectful, it cannot be justified.

Because the pancakes are very hard, Bai Zhi has never eaten them before, and she was not mentally prepared, so that the pancakes were too big for one bite, so she couldn't bite them down at all.

Seeing that she was about to bite her teeth, Mei Xin put the white rice in front of her and said with a slight smile: "The status of a slave is just for the convenience of walking in the future, so why should you care about it? What's more, you are Brother An's cousin , I should call you sister, how can you be like Luoqiu and the others? Besides, these pancakes are only brought when marching and fighting. There are a lot of miscellaneous grains and you are very hungry. Those who accumulate food. Luoqiu and the others are different, they have been fighting with me for many years, and they have long been used to eating these pancakes."

"Yes, sister Bai, if you can't eat, you should eat." Reaching out and grabbing the pancake from Bai Zhi's hand, Yun Luo handed the white rice that was put aside to her and continued, "If my sister is really Yu Xin is uneasy, at worst I won't let Luoqiu cook at noon. The Major General will definitely not eat this meal, and if the Major General does not eat it, we will not eat it. So, in order not to waste it, and especially for my sister not to be hungry, Invite my sister to eat."

Picking up the chopsticks and bringing them in front of her, Yun Luo winked at Bai Zhi.It means that you really don’t have to be embarrassed. We have long been used to eating while marching and fighting, and we have developed a pair of iron teeth.

Really unable to bite, and knowing what Yun Luo said was true, Bai Zhi reached out to take the chopsticks and rice and said with some embarrassment: "Then...well, from now on I will be like the big guy, or I won't eat it gone."

Smiling without saying a word, Mei Xin turned her head and continued to eat her meal, while Yun Luo said a lot of words to comfort her.

After a while, the bearded Wang Geng came over, squatted down with a smile and handed the grilled fish to Mei Xin and said, "Grilled... grilled some fish, the major general will have a taste."

In private, Mei Xin is approachable and never puts on airs, so the matter of catching the turtle just now is over.Wang Geng grilled the fish until it was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and brought it over as if offering a treasure.

Hui Yi smiled and reached out to take it. After thanking her, Mei Xin said: "Don't just eat grilled fish, drink some hot soup to drive away the cold. Don't rely on your youth, you will feel uncomfortable when you are old. We will leave at night, no Let’s get into the water and catch fish.”

But anyone who has been on the battlefield, whether it is a soldier or a general, almost always suffers from illness when he gets old.Like her father, his severely injured leg started to hurt when it rained on a cloudy day, and he was still in his prime, and he was not old yet.

Although this was not the first time that Mei Xin cared about Wang Geng, she was very happy that the Major General she admired cared about him.He nodded heavily, and said in a loud voice, "Yes, Major General!"

Like Wang Geng's uprightness and love him even more as a bold and careful old man, Mei Xin waved to him to signal him to hurry to eat.Wang Geng took the order, turned around and walked away with a smile. Mei Xin took down the grilled fish stuck on the branch, put it in a bowl and handed it to Bai Zhi, saying: "Wang Geng's grilled fish is famous in the army as delicious, you can try it." Bar."

Although I have seen some foreigners in Fang's family, none of them are as scary as Wang Geng.The man himself is dark, with a thick beard and a pair of bearded eyes, Bai Zhi thinks he looks like a bear.

"Thank you!" Reaching out to take the bowl from Mei Xin, Bai Zhi said to Yun Luo who was eating beside him: "I can't eat, let's eat together."

A total of three fish were planted on one branch, and Mei Xin gave her one, and if Luo Qiu and the others shared a share, Yun Luo would definitely not be able to eat it.

Yun Luo never worried about this, because let alone only three fish, even if there was only one fish, Mei Xin would not miss her bite.Smiling and saying nothing, Yun Luo tore a piece of grilled fish and put it in his mouth.

The taste is excellent, fresh and tender, completely different from the fish stewed in the pot: "I said that Wang Dahei carried a load of big ingredients, and it turned out to be for grilling fish. Not to mention, this taste is better than before. It was much better eaten during the war, and it seems to have added some pepper, which is very fragrant."

While talking, he tore another piece and put it in Bai Zhi's bowl, Yun Luo immediately said: "I knew I had brought the marinated leg of lamb with me, and roasted it over the fire, it will be fragrant all over the place. Miss Bai, how does it taste?"

Swallowing the grilled fish in her mouth, Bai Zhi subconsciously looked at Wang Geng, never expecting that he has such a skill, and sincerely praised: "It's very fragrant, even better than the grilled fish I ate in Juyuan Building."

Sure enough, a person cannot be judged by his appearance, and the sea cannot be measured. The men in the army seem to be somewhat different from what she imagined.

Sensing that Bai Zhi's eyes had been lingering on Wang Geng's body, Yun Luo sat closer to her and quietly introduced the situation of Wang Geng's family.Mei Xin saw that the two of them were having a great time chatting, she looked away and slowly chewed the iron-hard pancake in her mouth.

With fragrant and soft rice, who wants to eat multi-grain pancakes that are rough and hard to swallow, or even hurt the throat.I remember that in the previous life, she entered the military camp with her father when she was eight years old. It was the first time she saw black pancakes, and the first time she ate them, they were the same as Bai Zhi.She couldn't bite it, and couldn't tear it open no matter how hard she pulled it. Her father laughed out loud because of her distorted face. In the end, her father helped her tear it apart a little bit before she ate it.

It can't be said to be unpalatable, but it's really as hard as a rock. At that time, I was young and couldn't understand Dad's good intentions at all.Therefore, I instinctively vomited out after taking a bite, and was punished for this. I was not allowed to eat for a day after being hungry, and then ate black pancakes for half a month.

She entered Prince Ping's mansion as a wife and became Princess Ping. She never ate black pancakes again, but she missed her very much.Although the black pancakes were hard and unpalatable, they made her feel at ease and more at ease than any delicacy.
