Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 346
Prime Minister Fang frowned, and looked at Yunying standing at the door.

Only then did Yunying come forward with a huge food box, and after saluting, she said, "Your Majesty said, the emperor is away on an expedition, and several adults are sharing the emperor's worries and dealing with the hard work of the government affairs, so they specially cook some dishes, and invite them to taste .”

"Ah, thank you, Madam, for the reward!"

Hearing the words, no matter how shocked the elders were, they all hurriedly stood up and saluted to thank them.

A smile flashed across Prime Minister Fang's eyes, but he told An Ge'er to let him leave with Yunying after a few words.

Soon, the eunuchs and maids with quick hands and feet set up a dining table in the small hall, and the elders and Prime Minister Fang washed their hands and thanked the north before sitting down.

As they got closer, Dong Ge's stomach became louder and louder.But in front of each of them is a deep bowl of lotus leaf green, in the bowl is a small white and tender chicken, and there are some jujubes and ginseng floating in the clear soup. Know how to start eating.

Dong Ge thought for a while, then raised his hand and grabbed a chicken wing.But when he looked up, he saw Prime Minister Fang untie the string from the chicken belly, picked up a white porcelain spoon, scooped out half a bowl of glutinous rice and minced meat with mushrooms, poured two spoonfuls of chicken soup, and started to eat slowly.

He immediately blushed and cursed inwardly, but his subordinates hurriedly followed suit.The same was true for the other elders, they had no time to worry about anything after the glutinous rice mixed with the soup was poured into their mouths.The families of several people are all rich and noble, and they dare not say that they have tasted all the delicacies in the world, and they are almost the same.But after aging and frailty, the taste buds degenerate, and I feel tasteless when I eat anything.

Now a ginseng chicken, glutinous rice soaked in chicken soup, the delicious and soft taste makes them feel like they are alive again.

After eating a bowl of rice, tearing a few strips of chicken, and pairing it with a few mouthfuls of refreshing sweet and sour side dishes, it is a rare satiety...

"To be rewarded with compassion by the Empress, I am really lucky for three lives."

One of the elders couldn't help but sigh with emotion, counting the dynasties and dynasties, he didn't dare to say it at the time, but in the past many years, no courtier had ever had such an honor.

Old Dong Ge snorted softly, but he didn't say anything after all.Eat other people's shortest, this principle is really simple and easy to use.

Prime Minister Fang smiled secretly, picked up the tea and rinsed his mouth, then smiled and said, "Your Majesty may not come from a high family background, but it is because of this that she knows how to respect the elderly and take pity on the weak. The Emperor is invincible and good at fighting. Dong Hao doesn't have to marry a foreign race for the sake of the country's stability. Such a queen is more suitable. Most importantly, the emperor likes it, and the crown prince likes it!"

The elders all nodded. Although Elder Dong looked disapproving, he didn't open his mouth to refute...

Ding Wei didn't know that the lunch she sent out with good intentions had achieved such an effect.At the moment Yongfu Palace is bustling, all the young and old girls drank a little fruit wine, ate and soaked in soup, and enjoyed it.An Ge'er, the eldest child and the second child, as well as the eldest Bao Fu'er who entered the palace to study, both had round stomachs and greasy mouths.

Afraid that they would have a stomach ache after eating, Mammy Gu coaxed them back to the warm pavilion in the side hall for an afternoon nap.

Ding Wei leaned on the soft couch for a drink, and when she was slightly drunk, she chased the army and ran to the north.

This is also the time when the army rests and eats dry food. Even though Donghao suffered from a drought, last year it was a rare bumper harvest, so this time the troops don't need to save on food and grass.So each soldier held a piece of bacon jerky and a piece of biscuits, and when he was thirsty, he would bite the water bottle and drink a sip of water.Although it is not possible to bury the pot for cooking, the hot water in the cook camp is still open.

Previously, the Faculty of Engineering worked tirelessly for six or seven days to come up with a flat-bottomed tin kettle, which can be boiled while walking as long as it sits on the charcoal stove.And each soldier's water bottle is also a new item. Compared with the original sheepskin water bag, the new water bottle is made of brass, with a screw thread on the bottle mouth, which does not leak and can be filled, and it will not rot for a few days. It is really a good thing.

I heard that these things were drawn by the empress, and the craftsmen of the engineering college had to work hard to figure them out. There is a blacksmith street in the north of Kyoto, where military craftsmen are used as supervisors, and all the blacksmiths in the surrounding state capitals worked together. Made these jugs before heading out.

If there were people who didn't believe how empress empress sympathized with soldiers before, they had to give a thumbs up now.Although the things are small and the objects are not big, it really makes all soldiers get convenience and benefits.

A recruit was playing with the kettle, but was slapped on the back of the head by the veteran, and finally helped to cover the kettle, and said with a smile, "It's done after a few times, don't spill the water. This is boiled water to cool, if it is spilled , I am sorry for the hard work of the brothers in the cook camp."

The recruit scratched the back of his head without being annoyed, and just smiled, "I'm just wondering why the kettle doesn't sprinkle water?"

"Stupid kid, there are so many things you don't understand. Hurry up and finish the jerky, and be careful not to spoil the good stuff!"

Another veteran also came over to interject. For the young recruits, they always regard themselves as the boss, so naturally they take care of them in every possible way.

After eating the jerky in two or three bites, the recruit asked vaguely, "Brother, can you have that dumpling soup for dinner? I heard from the postman in our village that the dumpling soup is very delicious."

"This silly boy is really stupid!" Hearing these words, everyone laughed.Someone patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't dream, boy, the dumpling soup was made by the Empress with the cook camp and the Detachment Army. Although each person only got a bowl, they were busy for several days. Everyone is looking forward to try it again. It's a pity that firstly, the empress stayed in the palace to take care of His Royal Highness, so she didn't join the army this time. Second, the dumpling soup is only eaten during the New Year's Eve, when the army just left. How could it be possible to waste precious time making troubles. Let's wait until we return to Beijing after this victory, maybe the empress will give another dumpling banquet!"

Others also responded, "Yes, the empress is the most merciful, as long as we all mention it, I think we will really eat it!"

"What does the dumpling taste like? I heard from the postman that there are meat, vegetables, and noodles. It's very delicious!" Xiao Bing drooled with covetousness, and was jokingly laughed at by everyone for a long time.

In a large carriage of the Chinese army in the distance, Gong Zhiming was looking at the information sent by the border town while gnawing on pancakes and meatloaf. It was not because he was the chief general that he ate much better than the soldiers.

Feng Jiu glanced at the dried biscuits and jerky, feeling really distressed, secretly planning to cook a bowl of noodles for the master when camping at night, and pour the meat sauce brought from home, even if there is no side dish, it is much better than such a simple lunch up.

Gong Zhiming didn't intend to live together at the same time to win over the soldiers and build up the morale of the army. It's really that his wife is not by his side, and no matter how good the food is, it doesn't taste right.What's more, such dry food is extremely convenient.

This time Tie Le's sudden attack was a bit strange to say the least.Even though Tiele's cattle and sheep were almost extinct, the entire grassland was starving.But Tie Le was beaten to half-mutilation in his early years, and later Yunying's fake secret recipe wiped out more than half of King Khan and the prince, leaving two internal strife, and the fight was inextricable.

Under such circumstances, no matter how difficult it was, they did not dare to provoke Dong Hao.After all, it was God's grace for Donghao not to send troops to destroy Tie Le, and they dared to come here and take the initiative to brush the tiger's beard?Is it arrogance to the point of audacity, or is there another reason?
After pondering in this way, he turned over a secret security, "On the third day of the lunar new year, two horses rode out of Heishui, and they covered their faces in black robes and went to the grassland. Their behavior was suspicious, and their whereabouts are unknown."

Gong Zhiming frowned slightly. Logically speaking, Heishui City should be Dong Hao's city, and it has been a place where villains have been exiled for many years.However, the city guard a hundred years ago was killed by villains three times in a row, and no one is willing to take up the post, and he has let himself go.And because it is located at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, so many thieves and bandits gathered here, and idlers dare not approach.

"Feng Jiu, is there a new leader in Heishui City?"

Feng Jiu came in from the car in response, and knelt down on one knee to answer, "Returning to the Lord, I heard that the leader was just changed a few months ago. She is a woman with good means, and she has guards with strong martial arts skills to serve her around, so So far, he has not been driven out of the capital."

"Woman?" Gong Zhiming's heart skipped a beat, what kind of ability does a woman have to take the position of leader in a place where wicked people gather.But thinking about the unexpected wife at home, he felt relieved again.

"Has the wind returned?"

"No, my lord. It must take some time for Feng Boss to go deep into the grassland."

"That's all, after he comes back, go to Heishui City to find out the truth."

"Yes, my lord."

"Send the order, rest for another quarter of an hour, and the whole army will set off."

The soldiers who were full of food and drink heard the order and quickly untied the straps of their leggings and tied them again.Don't underestimate the child's palm-wide cloth straps. After binding his calves, he walked briskly and neatly. Before he knew it, he walked more than ten miles more than usual.It would be more comfortable to ride on a horse. It won't rub the horse's belly itchy, and it won't make the trouser legs feel windy.

The cooks in the camp also began to yell that if the kettle was dry, fill it with water quickly, warm boiled water with added sugar and fine salt, when you are tired, just take a sip and you will be full of energy.

Soon, the army was back on the road, and the smoke and dust billowed, advancing rapidly towards the north.In the cities and towns you pass through, there will be people offering food to reward you.The teacher who protects the safety of the people thinks that he will be loved by all the people.

Gong Zhiming jumped out of the carriage, got on the black-tailed horse, and ran with the team for more than ten miles. He couldn't help but look back at the way he came. There was no shadow in the capital anymore. Thinking of his wife and children in the palace, he couldn't help but My heart sank slightly.But then he swung his whip again and continued on.

The general is the courage of the soldiers, seeing the emperor like this, the morale of the soldiers increased greatly, and they also quickened their pace.

For the people in Kyoto, it doesn't seem to make any difference whether the emperor is at home or not.If we say that before, when the emperor just went out to fight, everyone was still a little panicked. They wanted to walk with their legs on their shoulders, and they avoided those chariots and horses when they went to the street. They were afraid that the emperor would not be at home. Which dignitary wanted to establish a tall image and made it out of innocent people? raft.

But after a few days, everything seems to be the same as before.The dim sum shop has new dim sum, and in the teahouse, the new tea from the south has begun to roll in the boiling water. There is a new play in the Dream Garden Theater. It is said that it is a story about a snake spirit falling in love with a scholar...

Slowly, everyone's hearts fell to the ground again, and they continued to eat, drink, play, open their doors to do business, and walk around the streets to support their families.
