Chapter 639: impregnable soup
One of the simple and honest-looking young people said admiringly, "Our Lord Chu is really amazing, and there is still food for the court."
Another black-faced man gave him a white look, "Nonsense, otherwise why do you think our Lord Chu can be called the Dongchen God of War?"
"That's right, we've been eating well every day recently, and those who were lame were cured by Madam Chu."
"Okay, don't gossip, hurry up to the kitchen to serve food, and go to work at night!" The young man with black moles just slapped his hands and said.
The crowd laughed.
"Okay, Lao Liu, please go first!"
"Fuck off!"
Everyone was pushing and shoving, but no one really went to the kitchen. They knew that Master Chu was going to see his wife.
When Jiang Xinyan saw Chu Lixuan come into the kitchen, she knew that they were almost on the same page.
Just in time, her dish was ready, she lifted the lid of the pot, and the aroma of braised pork came out.
These are some wild boars that the couple hunted in the virgin forest in Xichu, and stored in the space.
"Husband, please drink a bowl of soup first." She greeted.
Chu Lixuan walked over, "I'm not hungry yet, let's wait for Xinxin to go out and eat together."
The little servant and the maid hurriedly brought out the dishes with a wink. They were drooling long ago. This dish is really delicious.
The table is full of four dishes, with all the colors and flavors, a large pot of stewed pork ribs with potatoes, braised pork, stir-fried pork liver, and boiled pork slices.
Chu Lixuan, Jiang Xinyan, Zhang Hao, Xu Yuqing, and the youth with black moles sat at a table, and ten other people sat at a table.
The big pot is full of weight, everyone was a little cautious at first, and they forgot to be cautious when they were eating, and they devoured it.
Chu Lixuan picked up the braised pork and put it in his mouth: "Well, it tastes good, and the dishes made by Madam suit my taste."
Jiang Xinyan smiled and served him another bowl of soup: "That's natural, I am now a great chef with many disciples."
Chu Lixuan nodded dotingly, "Madam is really amazing."
Jiang Xinyan blushed slightly, stared at him with crooked eyes, and praised her in front of so many people.
Chu Lixuan raised her eyes and looked at her, her brows furrowed: "Why doesn't Xinxin drink soup?"
He picked up the soup and fed it to her mouth, as if he had done it a thousand times, regardless of what others thought.
Chu Lixuan was not used to calling her wife, his father just called his mother's wife, and then called his favorite woman's name.
Chu Lixuan has hated the title of Madam since he was a child. In fact, he is too sensitive, and the couple is very affectionate to call Madam.
But he rejected calling Madam from his heart, and in front of outsiders, he would occasionally shout a few times.
At the beginning, he would rather call her wife than her wife, and then he called her Xinxin when he got acquainted.
Jiang Xinyan pursed her lips, "Wait for you to drink first." With that, she picked up her chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork, fed it to his mouth, and he opened his mouth to eat it.
Xu Yuqing looked at the skillful movements of the couple, it should have been like this until now.
Mrs. Chu was incomparably beautiful, her skin was fair and tender, as if it would be scratched by the wind, Xu Yuqing was not sure if this was his eldest sister's daughter.
He bowed his head to eat, and has been evading capture. They haven't eaten for several days, and this dish is extraordinarily delicious.
After eating, Chu Lixuan gave them another mission, and asked them to bring dry food to find Xu Chaoyan, Han Ting Yun Chu Yi, Chu Jiu and the others.
When Chu Lixuan and his wife set off for Yumen Pass, they let Wei Dabin and Nie Cimeng lead a few generals.
The little generals and the others brought 3,000 troops and enough food to open up wasteland near Yazhou.
Xuanyan City was handed over to Zhao Yu, Dai Yuntao and Zhou Daniu, Zhu Qinglin and the others commanded 60,000 soldiers and horses to guard it, and Wei Dabin his father and Nie Jiaerlang were there.
Xuanyan City can be described as impregnable, even if Beiyue and Zhenbei King attack together, they may not be able to break Xuanyan City.
Besides, Beiyue and Zhenbei King have a tendency to curry favor with Xuanyan City, and besides, they are dead enemies themselves, and it is impossible to join forces.
Chu Lixuan and his wife went to guard the Yumen Pass. When discussing this matter, everyone's blood was boiling.
Everyone feels that they are important and full of energy. If someone offends you, they will fight, and if no one comes, they will farm the land honestly.
Dai Yuntao and the others were frightened of hunger in the bitter cold land. Now they have the opportunity to grow food to eat.
The entire Youzhou City was planted with potatoes, rice, corn, sorghum and other staple foods.
Wei Dabin and Nie Cimeng acted very cautiously, and they cooperated tacitly. They would never lose to Dai Yuntao and the others if they were to farm and kill the enemy.
Although Chu Lixuan only told them to do three things, Wei Dabin and Nie Cimeng also planned several other things.
Chu Lixuan told Wei Dabin and the others that the first thing was to live on the hill outside the city of Yazhou, and to ensure that no wild animals appeared within a month.
The second is to plant food, and the third is to take in refugees, let them grow crops together, and young people to train.
Wei Dabin and Nie Cimeng listened and said in unison that there was no problem. They worked hard day and night and finally reached their destination.
hasn't alarmed anyone yet, maybe it's alarmed, but the people of Dongchen live in closed doors and are indifferent to the sound of horses' hooves outside.
It is autumn now, when the wild grass on the mountain should grow wildly, but there is no grass and bark here, all of which are eaten by the refugees.
The hillside is not steep, as long as the soil is turned over, it is very convenient to grow potatoes and corn.
And now Yazhou has been occupied by Nanmanqing, and the surrounding counties and villages have been beaten into sieves.
The bureaucrats at all levels have all run away, and the rest are refugees. These people are the least afraid of death.
As soon as I heard that the imperial court was recruiting soldiers, I immediately rushed over and stuttered. Now Yazhou is basically an empty city.
The Nanman soldiers invaded and chased the Lu family army all the way, and the people of Dongchen who were a little bit wealthy also fled.
The rest are refugees who survived by eating mud. As long as they stutter, let alone recruit troops, they are willing to kill and set fire.
"Aren't we too public?" Han Tingyun asked Nie Cimeng.
Wei Dabin said fiercely: "Why are you so embarrassed to say this, are there any other people here besides refugees? This desolate Yazhou sees this General's heart to death. If it wasn't for the Lord's order not to act rashly, I would directly meet him. Those dog things."
Xu Chaoyan said: "General, it's better for us to keep a low profile. Don't forget that we are still carrying a lot of food. If there is an emergency, it will be bad."
Chu Yi frowned and said, "Okay, don't talk about it. Anyway, it's not far from Yazhou. Let's talk about it when we plant potatoes. It will save you a lot of nights and dreams."
"Hahaha..." Everyone was happy again.
