Chapter 10 Settlement
Zhao Ying calmly picked it up and took a bite, and then a little bite. The pancake mixed with the fat was a little tough and fragrant.
He lowered his head and ate both rolls of mung beans and corn porridge, but he was still a little unsatisfied after eating.
After a moment of silence, he asked for another one.
The few serving him outside, watching another meal come in, were shocked. After the shock, they were moved to tears and called Amitabha in their hearts.
The fear that could lose its head at any time can finally be eliminated.
It has been more than half a month. They have nightmares every night, dreaming that the Duke is tired and sick, hungry and lose weight, and they are dragged down by the angry His Majesty to behead their heads.
In fact, before Zhao Ying came, she didn't expect that Yong Yijun's food would be bad enough to be so good. The steamed buns were so hard that they hurt their teeth. They couldn't swallow all kinds of vegetables, and their throats hurt.
If the chefs of Huotou Camp knew about Zhao Ying’s complaints, they would definitely want to cry. This is a prince, who dares to serve him accidentally?
The meals delivered to him were already very serious! As the Duke’s request was really replaced by the food of ordinary big-headed soldiers, the bran seeds and wood chips mixed into a steamed black cooked cake. The Duke’s dared to eat them, but they were afraid that the one who would ruin his stomach and lose his head together.
Zhao Ying felt calm. Although the food was so poor that he could not eat, he took the lead in asking the officers and soldiers to eat together, so he would never go back on his word, nor would he even show any dissatisfaction. He would not let the servants and maids he brought to cook for him alone, anyway, they would not do it well.
But...when he had this meal today, he suddenly felt that if he continued like before, he might not be able to hold on for too long.
Unlike ordinary people, Zhao Ying has been suffering from that tongue since childhood. For some reason, the delicacies carefully cooked by the imperial chefs in the palace are all delicious delicacies in the world, but no matter what food it is, there are very few that can enter his mouth.
Most of the food he tasted was filled with strange smells that were unbearable. Only the freshest ingredients and the most tender meats could have one-tenth or even one-tenth of the dishes that could be eaten by the top imperial chef in the imperial kitchen.
It's just something to eat.
In order not to starve himself to death, Zhao Ying always felt that no matter how unbearable the meal was, he could use it to satisfy his hunger when necessary.
Unexpectedly, in order to suppress the evil winds and evil spirits in the army, he was as disciplined as himself, and he almost failed.
Today I encountered a good thing. This meal of food was simple and ordinary. Compared with the imperial meal he had eaten before, it was mediocre everywhere, but it was particularly strange. For the first time, he knew that eating was such a beautiful thing.
After hesitating for a while, Zhao Ying waved, and the leader next to him followed Li Sheng and whispered to Magistrate Wang and Zhou County Wei to the village to find a new cook.
Zhao Ying nodded.
Chang Sui didn't dare to say anything, but he praised Magistrate Wang and others in his heart, just because he was too clever and the Duke said that he wanted the officers and soldiers to eat together. You don't know how to rectify the entire Yongyi Army's food in advance? Fool!
...
The sun hangs brightly in the sky.
The tents were connected to the wind and rustled.
Gu Xiang happily washed and rinsed, cut and chopped, and fryed the vegetarian meatballs in a pot. The freshly picked mushrooms were fried to the outside and tender on the inside, and they tasted much worse than meat.
The corn is finely ground, and the cooked rice porridge is orange-yellow and fragrant.
Homemade soy milk from beans, tender tofu is fried or braised, and then a cold tofu skin is used. The tofu dregs are used, and the chopped green onion is stir-fried, which is also unique. Add some wild vegetables to make wild vegetable steamed buns, as well as roasted wheat, steamed dumplings...
The pork is chopped with chopped pepper, and the pork bun is so fragrant that people can't help but feel like they can't help but burst into their stomachs.
She made some big lebas since she was a child, and she had been cooking her hands, so she didn't think she could match the appetites of these soldiers.
The kitchen smelled endlessly all day long, making wild cats and dogs wander outside.
But in half a day, the Huotouying kitchen changed a lot, and the new recipes became rich all of a sudden. Every time the soldiers entered the canteen, they were comparable to treasure hunting.
"The dishes in our kitchen are not much different from those families."
A group of chefs are proud of it.
Among them, Daleba bread is also very popular. The chefs and soldiers of Yongyijun are very exploratory and do not reject fresh food at all.
Gu Xiang laughed: "It's just a family matter, it's far from being comparable to a serious chef."
Before the meal time came, many soldiers were hiding outside, protruding their heads and Old Du called out, and then they laughed and dispersed.
"These people are all dog noses."
Old Du was embarrassed.
It was time for dinner, and Gu Xiang watched a soldier who was at least 1.8 meters tall, and he lined up three times.
At first, Lao Du pretended not to see him, and when he saw that he was going to go for the fourth time, he couldn't help but roll his eyes: "It's almost done, I'm not afraid of being sacked."
Then—the boy Yimeiba changed into a gray hat and came again.
Gu Xiang: "..."
Just those two legs that grow a lot more than others, let alone wearing a hat, even a full set of armor and even protecting their faces, it is impossible to recognize them.
Old Du shook his head with disgust, smiled on his face, and said politely: "Is Gu Xiaochu still used to it? If you are missing something, just look for me."
Gu Xiang responded with a smile.
The guest room that Lao Du arranged for her was not in the barracks of Huotou Camp.
All the people living there are big men. She is an unmarried woman, and it is not convenient to have a single tent.
Those who are officials like Wang Magistrate Wang are thinking about major things. As long as he can eat serious food, he will be satisfied, but no matter whether he is sent to the military camp to be responsible for cooking, he or she is a young woman or a beautiful woman.
However, Lao Du held a hot potato and racked his brains to find a place for Gu Xiang.
Just west of the barracks of Huotou Camp, the place where officers used to have a small meal, but now there are a few women in charge of cleaning. It is the only place in the camp where there are women.
Next to it is next to the tent of the Duke and the servants. When Duke An came, he brought his servants with his maids and maids. It was safe to place Gu Xiaochu nearby.
Gu Xiang looked at the simple tent with only one bed, a simple square table and a bench, and he didn't dislike it. Compared with the Gu family's house, it was at least bright and quiet. The soldiers from the Huotou Camp would not come here, and the territory of the noble people next to him was even more strictly guarded. When she moved in, she could only vaguely see the graceful backs of a few female family members, which was completely different from the style here.
It’s so quiet, Gu Xiang likes quietness.
Because the place is very wide, she even separates herself into a small kitchen, and she can also hide it when practicing cooking in the system space.
It was just that the quiet location was easy to attract poisonous insects, snakes and ants. She took out the insecticide she had planned to set up a stall in the night market and sprayed it everywhere.
At least it can be a kind of comforting effect.
Time flies very quickly.
Gu Xiang has a good personality and is very good at craftsmanship. Before he knew it, he integrated into the atmosphere of Huotou Camp. Most of the chefs who watched coldly seemed to regard her as their own.
