Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 38

The school dinner party lasted for a long time, and it didn't end until the end of the day.After a few hours, they gathered again on the school grounds for dinner.

One hundred catties of chicken breasts and one hundred catties of duck legs are actually very little for thousands of people, but everyone is happy and feels that their lives have hope again, so even if there is nothing to eat at night, they are still happy to eat.

The women in the kitchen were so busy that their backs ached. Fortunately, there were cooking masters in the barracks. Otherwise, there were so many people that the women at home would be too busy.

Grandfather came over in the evening and brought several carts of water and wine, which made a group of soldiers even happier.One bowl per person, not much, but it is also a taste that I haven't tasted for many years.After drinking happily, they sang military songs together.

Yes, the Ming Dynasty also had military songs, among which the "Song of Victory" composed by Qi Jiguang when he was fighting against Japan is the most famous.It is said that in order to boost morale, Qi Jiguang gathered hundreds of officials and soldiers in front of the court before going out to fight, dictated this song, and then asked all the soldiers to sing together, while he clapped his hands and made drum sounds. The trees vibrated, and when the song came to life, hundreds of people clapped and danced together. After singing, they resolutely set out to fight against the Japanese.

Qi Jiguang's Pingwa left a strong mark in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and it was also a rare victory in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Therefore, this song was widely spread in the military camps, and now these soldiers sing this song.

There are no musical instruments, no big drums and rhythms, and some are just simple beats made by a pair of hands, but Zuofu can hear the heroism in the monotonous rhythm, a kind of blood that sacrifices a small family for a big country.

As I listened, I unconsciously sang along, "All people are united, the mountains can be shaken, but loyalty and righteousness are the only ones, and the bullfighting..."

Soldiers are indeed the cutest people in the world!

A busy day ends in this loud military song.On the second day, when Zuo Fu walked to the school field, he was surprised to find that the school field was full of soldiers.

Seeing her coming, they all saluted, and Yu Er boldly said: "Da Qianjin, why are you up so early? Are you here to practice on the school ground?"

They knew about Da Qianjin's boxing skills, after all, she also practiced in this school field when she was a child.

"Well, I'm going out for a walk."

Zuo Fu replied: "My master said that the body is... no, it is the foundation of everything, and the plan of a day lies in the morning, so getting up early and exercising in the morning is the best for the body."

She paused and then said curiously: "What are you doing out so early? Didn't you tell me? You have been short of food and clothing for a long time, and you still can't practice."

Yu Er rubbed the back of his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "My lord and Qianjin treated me well, just lying at home, always a little uneasy. Brothers thought, even if you don't practice, go to the school field for a while. It's good to go."

It makes sense for Zuo Fu to think about it.Most of these people are still healthy, but they are not full for a long time and some are malnourished, and they have not reached the point of weakness.

In the past few days, I have eaten some good food and dishes, and I have a little energy, so it's good to go for a walk.

Thinking of this, he nodded, "Then let's go, don't go too far."

After a pause, he continued: "The summer harvest will be here in a few days. At that time, we will not only have to practice, but also harvest grain and sow seeds. Let's take good care of them now."

After finishing speaking, he pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "My father sold all the property, so that the big guy can survive, and he still needs a few days' rations? Besides, my master is very capable and told me everything, In a few days, we will bring a few more boats of food, and everyone will eat as much as they want!"

"My dear, I dare not."

Yu Erdao: "It's better to be careful, it's not easy for adults!"

Zuo Fu shook his head and said: "Some can be saved, some can't. After practicing hard and making achievements, life will always get better."

"Can it really get better?"

A young man said nervously, "I heard that the Tartars in the north are very powerful..."

"Snapped!"

As soon as the words fell, the boy was hit on the back of the head, "Why did you talk to the big daughter? I come and I go, the rules are eaten by dogs?!"

"Father, I..."

"What am I?!"

Qiao glared at his son, then bowed and bowed, "Don't be offended by the big daughter. This little kid has never seen the world. If there is any offense, the big daughter will never forgive me."

"Ha ha."

Zuo Fu laughed, "I'm not a daughter of a noble family, this uncle should not be polite."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the boy and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is... No, the villain's name is Joe Si."

The young man's voice suddenly became higher, he puffed out his chest, and said with a little pride: "Qiao Mu's Qiao, one two three four four!"

"You can read?"

Zuo Fu was surprised, "How many characters do you know?"

"Let Da Qianjin make a joke!"

Qiao Da slapped his son on the back of the head again, "What an embarrassment! How can you be proud of writing such a word?!"

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands and said to Zuo Fu: "I made the eldest daughter laugh. This kid wanted to read since he was a child, and he always asked Wang Limu to teach him how to read. Wang Limu couldn't help him, so he taught him some things." In time, I know a few words."

Although Qiao boasted modestly, he couldn't hide the pride in his expression.These days, those who can write their own names are not considered illiterate, and the status of scholars is very high. In the hearts of the common people, they are the stars of Wenqu, and it is a great thing to be able to know one or two characters.

"Do you like reading?"

Zuo Fu waved his hand at Qiao, and continued: "Life starts with reading, it's good to like reading, it's good to like reading!"

After saying that, he smiled, "After the school opens in two days, come and study."

"Thank you, big daughter!"

Joe was overjoyed and thanked again and again.

Zuo Fu waved his hand, thought for a while and said, "During the period when the Mongols ruled the Central Plains, the Han people used numbers as their names. The name Qiao Si is really not beautiful. How about this? I will name you Qiao Si, but it is not The four of one, two, three, and four are teahouses and wine shops. I hope that after the world is peaceful, you can also have wine shops and tea houses as your foundation, and you will not suffer from poverty."

"Thank you, Da Qianjin, for giving me your name!"

Qiao Si knelt down and thanked, "But the villain is a military household, and cannot do business for generations."

"what!"

Zuo Fu laughed loudly, bent down to help Qiao Si up, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Be strong, don't die on the battlefield."

Qiao Si blinked, and didn't understand Zuo Fu's meaning, but he could feel Zuo Fu's blessing to him, and he clasped his fists to accept the order, "Yes! The little one must study hard, practice hard, and protect the big daughter for the rest of his life!"

"It's not protecting me!"

Zuo Fu corrected: "To protect your family and country, protect your parents, your brothers, and your sisters from being bullied by the enemy! You are not my Zuo family's private soldiers, but Ming's soldiers, do you understand?"
