Chapter 455: A snap shot brought me back to reality.
However, the grain transport team didn't feel much about it. They wouldn't live in the inn anyway. Whether it was new or old or abandoned had nothing to do with them. Instead, they were satisfied with the large open space outside the inn.
Not only can all the grain trucks be stopped, but a lot of tents can be set up after leaving a passable road. The general said that everyone should have a good night's rest. It is better to set up tents and sleep in tents than to be crowded in the inn.
I don’t know how comfortable it is.
The prisoners in the rear were also happy. They no longer had any desire for enjoyment. They were satisfied with having a place to shelter from the wind and rain and lie down for a good night.
This inn has three floors. If the roof is gone, it’s unlikely that the second and third floors will also collapse. If it’s not the lobby on the first floor, it can still be crowded for one night.
People on both sides are very fast.
The Qijia Army gathered the grain trucks together, and set up tents outside the grain trucks to surround them.
The place occupied by the Qi Family Army was a certain distance away from the inn. The prisoners were rushed to the inn by the yamen. Even if they looked towards the Qi Family Army, they could only see people holding up a long wooden warehouse and glaring at them fiercely.
A row of praying troops.
But at this moment, none of the prisoners had the intention to look at the Qi family army. The weather was already cold and they were not wearing thick clothes. They had just been caught in the rain. They were all cold, hungry and tired, and they all wished they could last longer.
He used his two legs to run faster than others, so that he could get a good position at the inn first.
This night was calm, this night was also stormy.
The calm sea is for the Qi family army, but the stormy sea is for the convict team.
Qi Kang'an gave the death order to the Yamen team. I don't care what you feed the prisoners, they must have three meals a day.
So after all the prisoners entered the inn, the government officials found that the inn was abandoned and could not get supplies, so they quickly went to Qi Jiajun and bought a lot of vegetable pancakes.
Not only will they be distributed to the prisoners that night, but they will also be prepared for the next few days along the way. None of the Qi family soldiers have any pancakes to eat, so they will all have to eat full-face pancakes tomorrow.
The fire-headed soldier in charge of cooking was twitching in pain while kneading the dough.
Even though they are both called vegetable pancakes, there is a big difference between vegetable pancakes and vegetable pancakes.
The extra toppings for the pancakes eaten by the Qi family army and the Huotou soldiers were paid by Qi Kangan and his daughter from their own pockets. Otherwise, the military rations would not be enough. Qi Kangan and his daughter are both generous to their own people, so we will pay them back for the time being.
If you can afford it, you won't let your own people live in ruins.
The white flour is all fine flour, and the salt and sugar are also made casually. Occasionally, when I get tired of walking on the road, I will go for a walk in the mountains, and then I will bring back a bunch of game, and I will chop some of it and put it in the 'Tian Tou'
.
What was bought by the government officer in the evening was vegetable pancakes with minced meat in them.
The cakes made by Qi Jiajun are quite big, one piece is about the size of two people's palms put together.
How could the government officials be willing to give each of the prisoners such a big ticket?
The vegetable pancakes they bought there had more noodles and less vegetables. They were soft and soft when pinched and had a rich aroma. They were filled with salt and sugar. They were several times more expensive than the food they originally prepared. It was enough for their yamen to eat just one while walking.
Dejin, how dare they let thousands of prisoners join Dejin.
So after discussion, they cut a large cake into eight parts, and a small piece was enough for each prisoner.
Tonight it was the same old rule. The chef, Xiaojiang, stacked the cakes in a thick layer and then cut them with a knife.
As soon as the knife went down, he took a breath of air and said, "Hey, boss, come and see."
Chatou was sitting at the table with a distressed and pitiful look on his face, holding up a wine gourd and licking its mouth. When he heard the shouting, he turned around without even having time to change his expression, "What are you shouting? What the hell?"
I went there, and that weird look on his face was full of salivation. Xiao Jiang, the surgeon, was so frightened that he almost lost control of the knife in his hand.
The boss didn't take any chances with the young wives and girls who came to him along the way. Was it because he had this habit?
The boss won't like me anymore, right?
I don’t have delicate skin and tender flesh either. My mother always says that I look ugly. Is this the one that makes me so embarrassed?
The little Yachai's heart has been let loose and he doesn't know where he's going.
I looked up and saw that Xiao Jiang, who was yelling for someone, was in a fuzzy state after he asked someone. The angry one strode over and raised his palm to give him a slap.
My eyes happened to catch sight of the cut vegetable pancake,
The raised hand suddenly turned around, picked up half a vegetable pancake and took a big bite.
"It's really meat."
There is not much meat, and it is all lean meat. The taste is not strong. The Qi family army was collecting meat to eat. When they went to buy it, the whole temporary camp was filled with the smell of meat. The yamen who went to buy cakes also
No one even noticed that vegetable pancakes also taste like meat.
Even if there were any officials who smelled it at the time, they just thought they smelled the fragrance from the camp.
The Yamen was brought back to life by Cha Tou's "meat" sound, and he didn't worry about whether Cha Tou would be willing or unwilling to accept him if he really took a fancy to him.
"Boss, are these meat cakes still distributed to those prisoners?"
Cha Tou, who was already eating half of the fourth vegetable pancake, paused in his chewing movements, swallowed what was in his mouth and said, "Divide, as per the old rules, each person has a small piece of pancake."
"But boss, this cake has salt and sugar and now it also has meat added to it. Is it worth giving it to those prisoners?"
He wanted to say more: They deserve it too.
After being glared at by the bad guy, he changed his words temporarily.
"Are you stupid? We can't watch as usual this time."
As he said this, Chatou couldn't even eat the cake anymore, and sighed longly: "Xiao Jiang, let me tell you a few words from the bottom of my heart.
Before we set off, my superiors told me that this trip would be dangerous. We knew it was dangerous, but we couldn't help it. The appointment letter had already been issued, so I had to go even if I didn't want to.
Later, I felt relieved when I heard that we were going with the grain transport team. We just have to take care of our own errands. If there is danger, the food transport team in front will be in danger first."
No matter whether they encounter bandits or the White Ghost Cult, it is impossible for the disaster relief team to snatch food from them instead of the homeless team that has nothing.
Moreover, he observed along the way and found that this time not only were the Qi soldiers escorting the food transport team all capable, but those pushing the carts were probably all soldiers as well.
That means there are nearly 20,000 soldiers in front of them. What kind of bandits or White Ghost Cult can't be eliminated?
They're done.
It wasn't until I arrived at this inn that I snapped back to reality.
The inns were set up by the imperial court, and there would be one at a fixed distance. Of course, their main function was not to provide rest and supplies for the prisoners, but that was just incidental.
It was so that the border garrison could prepare food and horses for them in time when they sent emergency war reports to central Beijing.
The importance of the inn is related to the country.
How could the inn here be abandoned?
Chatou thought a lot, but seemed to think of nothing. His level was too low, and this was not a problem he should think about.
At the moment, he just hoped that he could finish his job as soon as possible.
"Don't you know there was a disaster in the south? Who knows what will happen next. General Qi didn't charge us more money. When buying food at the post station, even wild vegetables, pancakes, and wild vegetables are counted as money. What we bought here is only white flour.
, be content with yourself.
Just distribute them according to their share, so that each one can be more energetic and avoid dragging their feet."
"yes."
This group of prisoners is so lucky to have met such a benevolent and righteous person.
If I were to replace him with the one surnamed Liu, not to mention eating these meaty vegetable pancakes on the way, I don’t know how many young ladies would survive to Lingnan.
