  Chapter 2231 Eat and drink

  In the tent, there was a faint light shaking.

  Xiao Feizhen woke up from starvation.

  Being woken up from hunger in the middle of the night is an extremely rare experience, that kind of fatigue all over the body, sour water gushing from the mouth, and only one thought left in my mind, which is to find something to eat! It was as if countless hands were pulling at the stomach and intestines, and countless voices were shouting in my mind, eat! To eat!

   Fei Zhen suddenly regretted very much, regretting why she didn't eat two more bites when she was breastfeeding late.

   Or eat more, it is also good...

  Before when Fei Zhen was breastfeeding late, she finally couldn't stand the rough food, lost her temper, and dropped the bowl.

  Will Father be angry? Will you ignore me when you are angry? Will you drive me away? It's best to beat me up, anyway, I will definitely not be beaten to death, at most, I will be driven back, and then I can go back to Chang'an, eat delicious food and have fun!

But…

  Why isn't my father angry, and why doesn't he even talk to me? Didn't I cry for so long in vain?

   crying...

  I'm so hungry (⊙o⊙)...

  Thinking of food, Fei Zhen's stomach became more and more uncomfortable, and the sound of bowel rumbling echoed in the tent.

  Among the light and shadow, Fei Qian seemed to sit up, Fei Zhen quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, but his stomach still made a grumbling sound...

   Fei Qian chuckled, then took the lacquer box aside and opened it.

  『There are still some leftovers, do you want to eat? ’ Fei Qian looked at Fei Zhen curled up, pretending to sleep on the camp bed, and asked slowly, ‘It’s leftover, it’s cold, it’s the rice you spilled at night...I’ve had someone cook it again, although Removed most of the sand and dust, but there will still be some dust...』

  『Of course, you can also choose not to eat it, but if you don’t eat it, then you will only have to wait until dawn...』 Fei Qian said slowly, 『Don’t pretend to be asleep, the sound of your stomach is resounding through the sky...』

  Xiao Feizhen sat up in embarrassment, and was silent for a long time, "Where is your mother?" 』

  Fei Qian said: "Sixty miles away from here..."

  『…』 Fei Zhen was silent.

  It's too far away, no matter how loud you cry, she can't hear it...

  『Do you still want to eat? In fact, I'm a little hungry too..." Fei Qian picked up the wooden bowl in the lacquered box, "If you don't eat it, I'll eat it...a piece of rice, don't throw it away...this time I'll help you get it back, what about next time? ...'

Fei Zhen looked at Fei Qian, trying to distinguish the authenticity of Fei Qian's words in the dim light, but he failed, the light was not enough to see Fei Qian's expression clearly, and he was still very hungry, very hungry, It seems that he has never been so hungry since he can remember...

  Of course, that meal was also the worst meal in Fei Zhen’s memory, so that she was still hesitating right now.

   Fei Qian did not continue to persuade Fei Zhen, but picked up the bowl, slowly pulled the cold rice into his mouth, and chewed.

In the middle of the night, the surrounding area was quite quiet. Although Fei Qian didn’t intentionally make any loud chewing noises, Fei Zhen could still hear these sounds clearly, and could even judge whether it was beans or wheat that Fei Qian was chewing. grain…

   Feiqian ate slowly.

   Ba Za Ba Za.

   gurgle gurgle...

  Fei Zhen's stomach made louder and louder sounds, making Fei Zhen not sure whether to cover her ears or her stomach.

   Feiqian smiled secretly, and then continued to eat slowly.

Although Fei Qian seems to be eating deliciously, but in fact, because most of the bowl of rice was knocked down by Fei Zhen in a fit of anger, and then put it back together again, although it has been rinsed and cooked again, it is still There are still some fine dirt stained in it, which is difficult to remove, and you can’t see it, but when you eat it in your mouth and chew it, it will emit a full earthy smell, and there are some fine sand and stones, Gragla Yes, it's not tasty.

But Fei Zhen didn't know. He heard Fei Qian's chewing sound, and the hunger in his stomach became stronger. He swallowed, and wanted to cry again, but he didn't have the strength, his stomach was empty, and he didn't support it at all. Fei Zhen makes trouble again.

  Some parents think that children cry for no reason, but in fact crying is very exhausting, so children do not cry at will, and there must be reasons for their crying.

   Either because of physical discomfort, or to achieve some purpose, it is definitely not unconscious, crying for no reason. It's like the reason why Fei Zhen was crying before was because Fei Zhen felt that her crying was useful. According to Fei Zhen's past experience, as long as he cries, some people will be afraid, and even his mother will try to coax him to stop crying, so he can use crying to exchange for some things, some advantages .

   This cannot be said to be Fei Zhen's fault, nor is it entirely Huang Yueying's fault.

After all, when Fei Zhen was young, Huang Yueying was not very big, and at that time Fei Qian himself was fighting in the north and south, so he didn't have much time to care about Fei Zhen, so there was no one who could correct Fei Zhen in the early stage. This bad habit has been maintained until now.

Although under Cai Yan's teaching, Fei Zhen has restrained a little, but after Cai Yan became pregnant, she gradually stopped worrying about it, so that Fei Zhen's old habits became a little old-fashioned. Come out and use it.

"Half left..." Fei Qian stopped, tapped the side of the wooden bowl twice with chopsticks, and said slowly, "This is the last half... If you don't eat it, you have to wait... Mmm , four and a half hours...Are you sure you don't want to eat? 』

  Fei Zhen still hesitated, until Fei Qian picked up the bowl again, finally gave in, and shouted: "I...I want to eat!" to eat! woo woo woo...」

  Han people have two meals.

  The emperor can only eat three meals.

Yesterday morning I ate breakfast and set off, then I didn’t eat anything during the whole day, and then it was midnight, of course, it might not be a big deal for ordinary people, but for someone like Fei Zhen, of course it is impossible to violate it on the surface. What kind of etiquette, in fact, in the hussars' government office, as long as Fei Zhen is hungry, it is within the scope of acquiescence to eat some pastries at any time, but in the army, there are only two meals, and snacks are optional. Don't think about it, so it can be said that today is the first time Fei Zhen has been so hungry since she was a child.

  When I’m hungry, everything tastes good. I thought it was extremely difficult to swallow food, but it seems that I can eat it...

  Although Fei Zhen ate while crying at the beginning, she forgot to cry afterward and only ate. The coarse-grain rice that has been cooked for the second time is obviously softer and rotten, if you don't care about the occasional fine sand and dust...

  The stomach is cheering, welcoming the arrival of food.

  The cold sweat caused by hunger disappeared, and the brain began to secrete polypeptides to reward Feizhen for supplementing her food needs.

  Everything is slowly changing...

  So sometimes old people will say that children are not good, and they will be honest after a hungry meal. The words are rough but not rough, which is generally what they mean.

   A bowl of rice was originally not much, and Fei Qian ate a little, so Fei Zhen actually didn't eat much. Of course, having said that, if it wasn't for Fei Qian to eat with his head, Fei Zhen might still be in the way of face, hard anus, just refuse to eat...

   After eating the rest of the meal and drinking some water, Fei Zhen finally felt alive again. But Fei Zhen remained silent, and began to non-violently cooperate with Fei Qian.

   This is the child's second trick, to play dumb.

   Or simply, drag.

  Fei Zhen has already realized that this trip is not as beautiful as originally imagined, but crying and making noises have no effect, and no one even pays attention to it. She even has no food because of this, and has to eat dirt...

   And who is responsible for all this?

   In Fei Zhen's mind, she naturally thought it was Fei Qian, but after all, Fei Qian was his own father and could not resist, so only non-violent non-cooperation remained.

Fei Qian doesn't care so much, anyway, this journey takes a long time, just pack it up slowly, and don't continue to pay attention to Fei Zhen, and continue to sleep after lying down, which makes Fei Zhen a little bit tired up and down, and feels bored After a while, I couldn't resist the temptation of the Sandman, and fell asleep on my side.

  Fei Zhen seemed to have just closed her eyes, and the next moment her ears were filled with various noisy voices, and then she opened her eyes and saw that it was already daylight.

  『Sir! get up! 』Huang Xu first said sorry to Fei Zhen, then lifted Fei Zhen from the bed like a chicken, and then a guard stepped forward to wash Fei Zhen's face.

  『Pain, pain, pain...』 Fei Zhen yelled.

  The strength of the guards is naturally impossible to be as gentle and just right as the servants serving people in the hussar government office.

  『If you want pain free, wash yourself. Fei Qian was also washing up, looked sideways, and said lightly.

  Fei Zhen hesitated for a moment, took the face towel from the guard, wiped it twice, then threw it away, "Okay! 』

  Fei Qian didn't care whether Fei Zhen wiped it clean, anyway, his face was his own.

"Walk! Fei Qian signaled, and then moved forward.

  Fei Zhen was a little dazed, and then Huang Xu, who followed beside her, said, "My lord, let's go." 』

  "No...don't you eat first..." Fei Zhen asked Huang Xu.

  『My lord said, I won’t be eating in the barracks this morning...』Huang Xu replied.

  『Where did you eat it? ’ Fei Zhen froze for a moment, then became excited, ‘Do you want to go back to my mother’s place to eat? ah? Yes or no? 』

  『I don’t know…』 Huang Xu smiled, 「But no matter where we go, we have to start…」

"it is good! go! 』With some expectations, Fei Zhen set off together.

  Walking around the hillside, walking through the mounds, and passing through the woods, a village and fields appeared in front of me, and in the distance of the fields, there was a village.

  『All go up! Don't step on Zhuang He! ’ Xu Chu in front shouted loudly, followed by the response of ordinary guards. The cavalry lined up and slowly passed through the fields and arrived at the village.

  『Is your mother resting in this village? 』Fei Zhen still had good expectations, but they soon came to naught. He found that there was no trace of Huang Yueying in the village at all. The people who came out in a hurry were just ordinary farmers.

  The farmers looked terrified. They didn't know what happened, and they didn't know what would happen. They were full of fear for the sudden hussars.

   Feiqian said a few words to the elders of the village, then jumped off the horse and turned his head to signal. Huang Xu smiled and said to Fei Zhen: "My lord, let's go, let's follow." 』

  『What are we doing here? Don't you want to go to your mother's side? ’ Fei Zhen asked Huang Xu.

  Huang Xu chuckled and said, "My lord, I want to take you to a farm meal..."

  『Farm meal? ’ Fei Zhen’s eyes lit up, ‘Is it delicious? 』

Huang Xu still laughed, "Is it delicious... this... I haven't eaten it, so I don't know... But back then, my lord took the emperor to eat farm food... Of course not in this village, but in another place ...'

"real? ’ Fei Zhen’s eyes widened, ‘Even the Son of Heaven has eaten it too? 』

  Huang Xu hehehe, "Of course, when have I ever lied to the young master?" 』

  『You lied to me once last month...』 Fei Zhen snorted.

"what? "Huang Xu smiled awkwardly, "That was last time, this time I won't lie to you... let's go, let's go, the lord is waiting in front..."

  Villages are big and small, and villages in different places may also have their own differences, but a village is still a village after all. The old eaves were rotten, and the cracks in the mud walls almost penetrated the inside and outside. Bare buttocks children hid behind the hay piles and peeked with half of their faces. One or two chickens clucked and flew over the low wall, tied to the rope The dog jumped up and down and then fell silent under the sound of the owner's scolding...

  Fei Zhen opened her eyes wide, looking left and right, looking at a world he had never been in contact with.

  『Which restaurant do you want to eat? 』After Fei Qian's voice came over, Fei Zhen realized that she had reached the threshing ground in the village without knowing it.

  The food from last night has long been exhausted, so don’t worry about so much now, eat the most!

Fei Zhen's little brain started to wander almost immediately. He instinctively thought that maybe the house on the left would be better if the door and wall were intact, but could it be another trap by the father, and then deliberately arranged some disgusting things? People's meals?

   Then the worst...

   cannot be selected either.

  Fei Zhen thought about it for a long time, and pointed to one of the average-looking families, but the food brought by which family still made Fei Zhen's face turn green.

  Because at first glance, the whole pot is green...

   Fei Qian glanced slightly, then nodded. Compared with the early days where we could only live on unknown wild vegetables or aquatic plants in the wild, we can see some serious grains such as beans in the green paste now, and perhaps it is at this stage that labor is required to go to the fields to cultivate. The season, so the cooking is relatively thicker...

   Simply put, it is a pot of thick green paste.

  『Go get some bowls! ’ Fei Qian said.

Huang Xu took the order, took out the wooden bowl he had been carrying from the leather pouch around his waist, and then went into the pot without saying a word, made a small half of the bowl by himself, drank it first, and then slowed down, After a short pause, he slowly poured two bowls, one was slightly more and was delivered to Fei Qian, and the other was obviously less, and was handed to Fei Zhen.

  『…』 Fei Qian looked at the bowl, frowning slightly.

  The strong grassy smell almost covers everything, even if some coarse grains can be clearly seen.

  Fei Zhen raised her neck, held a bowl, and stared closely at Fei Qian.

  Fei Qian raised his head, drank the green paste in a few mouthfuls, then gestured to Fei Zhen with the bottom of the bowl, burped a grassy smell, and smiled.

  Fei Zhen looked at Fei Qian, opened her mouth wide open, then swallowed a mouthful of saliva, lowered her head with difficulty, looked at the wooden bowl in her hand, and immediately moved her hand away from her nausea, and tilted her head.

"hurry up! Act like a man! Fei Qian urged, "You choose yourself." 』

  Fei Zhen gritted her teeth, as if she was going all out, and gulped down a meal, unintentionally, it was in line with the correct way of coping, because if you still chew food with such a strong smell...

  Looking at the bottom of the bowl with some residue, Fei Zhen couldn't believe herself that she actually ate or drank such a bowl of green paste!

   It seems, like, not so scary?

Fei Qian smiled slightly, waved his hand, and asked someone to give the farmer who brought the food a small half bag of coarse grains, not much, about one liter, and then gave the village elder two stones of coarse grains to let him On behalf of the other villagers, as compensation for nagging.

   Then Fei Qian wandered around the village again, looked at the farmland and mills in the village, and left the village with Fei Zhen under the welcome of the villagers.

Fei Qian took out a small bag from his bosom, squeezed out a Yanjin plum, stuffed one into his mouth, and then gave another one to Fei Zhen, and then saw the faint smile on Fei Zhen's face. The green color seems to have faded a bit.

"The matter of eating and drinking is a major matter of the country..." On the horseback, Fei Qian touched Fei Zhen's little head, "You will be the one who will do great things in the future, so you must understand such things... know how you eat What, what do other people eat...why is it like this...these people will not teach you, only I will teach you...』

   Fei Zhen raised her head and looked at her father.

  『And I just say it with my mouth, you won’t have any memory...』 Fei Qian smiled, "So I can only let you experience it for yourself... Can you remember what ordinary people eat? If you can’t remember, you can go and eat next time…』

"No! I remember! ’ Fei Zhen said eagerly.

"Haha..." Fei Qian laughed loudly, "You remember...after listening to the officials under him ten thousand times about how the people live, it is better to go to the countryside to eat a meal from the farmhouse...The life of the people is good or bad Look at what to eat and drink... If the people eat and drink is getting better and better, then you are doing the right thing... If it is getting worse and worse, you have to think about how to change it... If you don't change it, the people will not Eat and drink...the world is over...』

"After a while, come out for a walk, take a look, and see what the people eat and drink... Don't pretend to show it to anyone, and it's not for other people to see it, it's for yourself..." Fei Qianyu said sincerely and Fei Zhen Said, "As long as the people eat and drink better and better, the people will be safe, and you will be safe..."

  『Then Father...』 Fei Zhen raised her head and asked, 『Are we... getting better? 』

   Feiqian nodded, and said with a serious face: "Of course! Otherwise, what do you think your father, Uncle Pang Shi and others have been doing all these years? Now we are doing it, but in the future, when you grow up, we will be old and we need you to do it... so you don't know how to do it? Now you understand why I brought you out? 』

   Fei Zhen nodded half-understood, at least not as resistant as before.

   It may also be the effect of adding an extra salt plum.

"This is the first skill I taught you, eating and drinking..." Fei Qian rode his horse forward slowly, and then said, "The king regards the people as his heaven, and the people regard food as his heaven." Pay attention Ha, these are not words, they are meant to be done...It's useless to just say it...』

  『Then is this a secret that Fiji doesn’t pass on? ” Fei Zhen squeezed her small fists and asked excitedly, “Father, what other secrets do you have… please pass them on to me as well!” 』

  「Well, of course I will teach you...」 Fei Qian smiled, "It’s just the second secret... let’s not talk about it now..."
