After the order to bury the pot and make rice was given, auxiliary soldiers immediately brought in firewood and lit it on the spot.
Then, some cooks who were temporarily recruited rolled a few large pots from nowhere and laboriously placed them on the blazing fire.
Add water and rice!
The red flames kept licking the bottom of the pot, and the crackling sounds were endless! It only took a while, and the thick porridge in the pot was already churning into white porridge bubbles. A rich aroma was even more pronounced.
Drifting far away in the night wind.
Although the meal prepared for the rangers looks simple, it is not vague, nor does it cut corners. It uses only the best rice in the city!
It is no exaggeration to say that this meal is even better than the meals of those who defended the city!
After all, Cui Jingzhi also knows in his heart: No matter how the battle outside is fought or how it ends! There is no doubt that these people are all men who fought for Yangzhou City and are the heroes of the hundreds of thousands of people in the city!
As for Lao Yang's so-called "internal and external enemies" just now, to put it bluntly, it is purely to scare Wang Wu and Xiaodao to see if they can scare them into telling the "truth", so as not to send people here to run away in vain.
There might even be some danger!
If what they say is true, it is impossible for Yangzhou to do anything to these rangers just because they lied about their military exploits!
Not to mention, behind these rangers, there is a real prince! If you deny them, doesn't it mean that you also deny this prince who is very popular in the court, the military, and even among the people?
While he was talking, the thick rice porridge had already begun to come out of the pot.
It is said to be rice porridge, but in fact it is almost the same as dry rice. If you insert chopsticks, you will not be able to eat it for a long time.
Next to the thick rice porridge, someone brought several large basins full of pickles to accompany the rice.
The crispy little pickles are topped with balsamic vinegar and a little bit of sesame oil. They are shiny and look so appetizing!
"Brothers, dinner is ready!"
The short, fat cook had a big grin on his face and had just tapped the edge of the pot with the big spoon in his hand. Before he could even make a sound, he was kicked away by a captain!
"What are you knocking? I thought this was your family's pig feeding! These are my brothers, knock again? Knock again and I'll chop off your pig's trotters!" the angry school captain pointed at the cook and cursed.
The staggering cook who was kicked was not angry. He patted his butt with the huge footprints, turned around and smiled at the captain: "Hey, isn't this? I'm used to it..."
"You..." The captain frowned and was about to raise his feet, but the cook was already prepared. He quickly turned to the other side and said with a playful smile: "Hey, eat! Eat!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
When the knights saw this, they also laughed. They lived in the market and did not pay much attention to the etiquette and rules. In their eyes, a cook knocking on the rim of a pot had the same meaning as a monk knocking a bell. It was not an insult at all.
, and if it weren’t for the captain, they wouldn’t have thought of the farmer feeding the pigs.
Such trivial matters were talked about and laughed at, and that was it.
They crowded forward in a noisy manner and watched as the snow-white rice porridge was scooped into a bowl as big as a head. The cook firmly picked up two large chopsticks and placed the pickles on top.
This time, not only the rangers, but also the captain who kicked the person swallowed their saliva in unison, delicious!
"It's time to eat..."
"More pickles! More rice!"
Seeing all the rangers gathering around to get food, Xiao Dao and Wang Wu, who were a little angry at first and were planning to starve to death without eating the food they brought, couldn't help but have their throats throbbing and their mouths watering.
After all, they haven't eaten anything for a whole day!
Moreover, Xiaodao was better and hadn't done much, but Wang Wu really made a difference today.
He first drove dozens of miles in the morning, then spent a long time in fear on the battlefield at noon, and then rushed for thirty miles in the evening to rush back to Yangzhou City. His stomach, which had long been deflated, was stuck to his back!
At this time, he smelled the aroma of rice again, but even if it cost him his life, the gurgling sound in his stomach was like beating a drum! This made the drummer who was watching look back at the big drum behind him from time to time, wondering if this thing had become a spirit.
?It will ring automatically even if no one moves?
"Fifth brother, how about we go over and have something to eat..."
After trying hard to hold on for a while, Xiao Dao, who was squatting on the ground, finally couldn't hold back any longer. He looked like a deflated rubber ball and asked Wang Wu next to him with a sad face.
Wang Wu swallowed and let out a "hum" twice. He also wanted to use the ladder to get off the donkey, so he reluctantly agreed.
But when I thought about how I was treated like this when I came back after working so hard outside, and no one believed me, I couldn't help but turned livid, and said bitterly: "Don't eat! If you want me to eat, unless you have eight plates with four
Bowl, I almost died in the past two days, and now that I'm back, I'm just going to give you a bowl of broken porridge?"
"Oh..." Xiao Dao glanced at the brother who was eating deliciously over there, sighed deeply, and then said unwillingly: "But Fifth Brother, think about it, if we don't eat, why don't we give it to these bastards?"
Have you saved food? We are losing money like this!"
"Loss? You won't take the loss! You have to have backbone as a human being!" It's okay if Xiaodao doesn't say it, but once he says it, the bastard's tenacity comes up. Now it's like the bastard is eating the weight of the scale, and he is determined!
"Spine? What is that thing? Does it taste good if it has bones?"
When Xiao Dao heard this, he had no choice but to moan helplessly, and then his stomach suddenly growled louder.
Fortunately, Yang Wen Zhang and Cui Jingzhi both left here at this time and went to the tower. Otherwise, they would have been embarrassed today.
In the dark night, shouts of "one more bowl" could be heard from time to time, and just when Xiaodao and Wang Wu were on a hunger strike for the sake of their inexplicable self-esteem.
Suddenly, a series of exclamations suddenly rang out from the city wall that had been silent for a long time. Wang Wu and Xiaodao were so frightened that they both raised their heads and looked overhead!
It was a little dark on the top of the city, and I could only vaguely see people jumping up and down there, and I didn't know what they were shouting.
Wang Wu and Xiaodao were puzzled. They stood up and were about to ask questions. Then, they discovered that the official who looked down on them just now rushed down the steps of the city wall, screaming strangely as he rushed.
: "Big victory! Big victory!"
"Is this officer crazy?"
Cui Jingzhi, Wang Wu and Xiao Dao looked at each other with confusion as they watched helplessly as one of their boots was missing.
"Rumble..."
The two of them were still confused about the situation, but behind them, the closed city gate rumbled open.
Different from the previous two times, this time the city gates were all open! And as the city gates opened, several thunderous horseshoes galloped from outside the city to the city gate corridor.
Immediately afterwards, everyone at the city gate heard a hoarse shout:
"Great victory! Kill ten thousand enemies! Great victory! Kill ten thousand enemies! Great victory! Kill ten thousand enemies!!!"
