Chapter 53 Golden Shortbread Salty Congee
Chapter 53 Golden Shortbread Salty Congee
Ever since seeing the arrow wound on Mu Gui's body at night, Qing He tossed and turned all night and didn't sleep well. She finally fell asleep in a daze, but she had a dream. Yes, Mu Gui was injured and fell from the horse, blood spurted wildly, Qinghe woke up from the dream with a loud cry, and was no longer sleepy. The next day, his eyes were bloodshot, his eyes were blue, and he looked very haggard.
After Qinghe washed and tidied up, she walked out of the sleeping place, but did not see Mu Gui.
Mu Gui did not share the bed with Qing He, but let Qing He sleep first, and he still has military affairs ahead of him to light up the lamp to fight.Qing He had already woken up early, but she still didn't see anyone when she came out. When she stepped out of the tent, she saw the soldiers guarding the gate respectfully telling her that Mu Gui had already gone to the school grounds.
"The general told you?"
The soldier folded his fists and lowered his head, "General Mu has already ordered us in the morning, and told the kitchen to prepare breakfast so that Miss Xu can have hot porridge when she comes together."
"How long has she been gone?"
"About half an hour."
Qinghe was thinking that her daughter's house in the military camp could not run around, and the main tent was full of military documents, which she should not read, and Erbai was not around, since she had nothing to do anyway, why not go to the kitchen to see how the breakfast preparations are going .
Someone led them to the back of the barracks. Along the way, Qinghe received the attention of many soldiers. Not to mention Qinghe's beautiful appearance, just seeing a woman in a barracks full of men is a surprising thing. Surprised, he even dropped the spear he was holding in his hand, and was slapped hard by the person next to him, who yelled in a low voice, "I've never seen a woman before, my eyes are straightened, be careful not to be seen by the corporal You will be miserable."
"Miss Xu, that's the kitchen. When the time comes, tell the guy inside that you are a friend of the general. I'll go back to stand guard first, so that the general won't be scolded if he doesn't see me when he comes back."
The soldier saluted and trotted back, Qing He watched him leave and went to the kitchen.Speaking of a kitchen, in the mobile barracks, it is just a huge white-top tent formed by three connected together. It can accommodate hundreds of cauldrons and stoves to fire together. There are hundreds of stoves burning in the tent. At the door, Qinghe could feel the unbearable sweltering heat inside, she wiped the slight sweat from her forehead, and walked in.
"Hey girl, where did you come from, why did you come to our kitchen? Outsiders are not allowed to enter here, you leave quickly, or we will be scolded by the superiors if we see it."
A middle-aged man fanning himself with a white hat in his hand showed his teeth that were not straight, his eyes looked down, obviously a bit surprised, the hat waved to drive Qinghe away.
"Uncle, I'm a friend of General Mu, I want to ask if it's ready earlier?"
This middle-aged man also takes care of a dozen or so people under his command, because soldiers with a big appetite will come to him from time to time and ask for a small cooking stove, and he will slip up a few words while eating and chatting. He has long known that General Mu has a friend who is very friendly. Important, first mobilized the team to go to the city to find her, and then picked them up, and ordered the kitchen to open a small stove early in the morning to cook some delicious custard, meat porridge, etc. for her, but the kitchen was already busy in the morning, and General Mu came Most of the pots were already cooked with food, and he almost forgot after such a delay.
"Oh, it's all because I am so forgetful. I almost forgot. I haven't made the small stove that the general ordered. There are a few pots that are vacant. Miss, wait for me to make them for you." The middle-aged man put his hat on his head With a buckle, he was about to walk back in a hurry, but was stopped by Qinghe holding his arm.
"Don't be busy, uncle. I'm just asking. It's better if you don't do it. You said that there is an empty stove, can you let me do it?" Qinghe softened his tone, and said it with a bit of pleading, There was no woman in Zhongyuan, and the middle-aged man couldn't help being defeated under Qinghe's sincere eyes, and agreed with a sigh and helplessness.
"Okay, I just have two vacant places, let me give you one, girl, you have to be careful, the people inside are rushing to work, they may bump into people, as for the fish, meat and vegetables are still being washed, if you need anything You can get it by yourself, it’s outside.” He pointed to a small door, and Qinghe walked out from there, and found at least a dozen or 20 people outside, either squatting or sitting on the ground, peeling, washing vegetables, chopping Meat, not only has a clear division of labor, but also has high efficiency.
"Look there's a woman over there!"
"Where did it come from? I don't think I've seen it before?"
"I heard from the brothers in the first battalion that the general brought back a friend. She must be her. What are you doing here?"
"She came over..."
Hearing the whispers around her, Qinghe understood that her appearance had affected everyone. After looking at the things she had, she took two taels of meat, three eggs, a handful of green vegetables, two mushrooms, and a few stalks of stalks. Cong Hou said thanks and went back to the kitchen tent.
The middle-aged uncle was a little embarrassed when he saw Qinghe, and laughed and teased Qinghe, "I don't know if a girl has never been to the men's pile. After staying in the army for three years, a sow can be as good as a fairy, let alone a girl." The girl is still good-looking, and the young man has never experienced anything, so it's normal to see it straight, come quickly." The uncle beckoned, and Qinghe just concealed it and concentrated on getting angry.
Qinghe first heats up the pot, then puts the soaked rice into the pot, boils it over a high heat and cooks it slowly over a low heat, while the hands are still idle, mixes the flour with water and kneads it, puts it on the chopping board Roll it flat, spread oil on it, sprinkle chopped green onion, and sprinkle salt, and finally roll the flatbread into strips slowly, then into balls, and finally flatten it.After finishing rolling the noodles, the rice in the pot was already half-cooked, and she slowly stirred the minced meat with soy sauce, sugar, eggs, and diced mushrooms into the rice porridge, and the aroma instantly spread in the airtight container along with the stirring of the spoon. Spread out in the tent.
"Oh, the little girl is good at craftsmanship. Are you interested in coming to my place to help me? We have too much work here, and the manpower is always not enough hahahaha." After speaking, the uncle himself laughed, and he also knew that a girl's family is not good enough. Maybe he came to do this kind of rough work, his nose moved, and his face was obviously intoxicated, "The general is really blessed, like us, we know how to eat from a big pot."
As soon as the uncle finished speaking, he returned to his seat and continued to work, but Qinghe fell into deep thought.It is said that an excellent general should learn to eat and sleep with his soldiers at the same table, and if he does not come, Mu Gui should eat the same meals as her subordinates, so that he can be united with the soldiers.As soon as I came to Longcheng, I asked her to send a small team to search the city and came to the barracks. Not only did it make the soldiers' hearts flutter, but they also opened small fires in private. Everywhere is very different. If there are too many such things, then the soldiers will feel dissatisfied Come, when the time comes, the soldiers will be separated...
Thinking of this, Qing He broke out in a cold sweat, her fingers were still cold in the stuffy kitchen.The porridge in the pot boiled and lifted the lid, Qinghe didn't pay attention to take it, almost threw the lid out of the pot when it was so hot, everyone around looked up at her because of the commotion, she hurriedly waved her hand to apologize , quickly took out the porridge in the pot and put it aside, washed the big pot and started to pour oil and pancakes.
"Wow, it smells so good!"
Mu Gui returned to the main tent with satisfaction after inspecting the military training in the school grounds. Before entering the door, she smelled the familiar strong scent of scallion oil wafting out from inside. The saliva came, obviously it was greedy.She rushed into the tent in three steps at a time, and saw Qing He with her back facing her, busy arranging dishes on the table, hugged Qing He from behind, screamed strangely, trying to scare her.
"Okay, put me down quickly, and be careful to kick over the porridge on the table!"
Qing He was startled and closed her eyes tightly, just after being dragged off the ground by someone's arms, she patted Mu Gui's arm helplessly, asking her to let go.But Mu Gui refused, not only did not let go, but also willfully turned around with Qinghe in his arms, and said in a brisk voice: "Qingqing, Qingqing, I really miss the food you cooked, I haven't eaten for a long time! I miss you so much!"
Qing He was strangled so hard that she couldn't breathe, she caught sight of the soldiers guarding the door out of the corner of her eyes, and a sudden feeling in her heart made her pinch Mu Gui, who reluctantly put Qing He down.
"Do you think you are very strong?" Qing He looked at Mu Gui with raised eyes.
Mu Gui glared triumphantly, at first he wanted to say "yes", but when he saw Qing He's eyes, he swallowed his words back, aggrieved and nunu mouthed, "No, I can't control my hand a bit." After speaking, he raised his hand hand, "Blame it."
"Let's eat first. It's useless for you to eat breakfast, so go to patrol. Eating breakfast and lunch together will not be good for your health." Qing He handed the chopsticks to Mu Gui, and before the latter took the chopsticks, his hand He had already grabbed a piece of crispy and attractive golden butter cake and ate it, with a crunching sound in his mouth.
"Qingqing, how about I take you around the barracks in the afternoon? Anyway, you're bored staying here, and I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so I'll show you around."
"I'm afraid it's not good for you to take me, a woman, to wander around in a military camp full of men." Qing He propped her chin with both hands, and didn't immediately agree.
After hearing Qing He's words, Mu Gui's eyes turned cold, and his voice changed, "Is someone gossiping?"
"No, I thought so myself. Also, as a general of a country, you should also pay attention." Qing He brushed away the sesame seeds sticking to Mu Gui's mouth, looked at her with a smile in his eyes and said, "Look at the soldiers standing outside the gate, but you didn't act calmly just now. How can this be done?"
"Well then, you can find me a similar military uniform, and I'll change it into it for you to walk through. I also really want to see the demeanor of our Great Wei*battalion."
Qing He looked at Mu Gui's embarrassed expression, and blinked playfully. Mu Gui couldn't help knocking on the table with the chopsticks in his hand, and said cheerfully: "Qingqing, you are really smart."
A plate of ghee cakes and a large pot of meat porridge were all swept away, and Mu Gui didn't go to find anyone to get any clothes, so he directly took Qing He to find a set of casual clothes that he usually wears when he enters Longcheng, and started making gestures After a while, he said with satisfaction: "The difference between our bodies is not too big, and we are both women, so we can just wear mine."
Qing He thinks about it again. Although Mu Gui is half a head taller than her, he is still much thinner than a man. Except for the slightly longer sleeves and skirt, everything else fits fairly well.
She took the clothes and immediately untied them to change, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of Mu Gui's twinkling eyes and slightly red ear tips, and for some reason suddenly remembered an incident from a long time ago.
At that time, she was still Erbai, innocent and ignorant, but she was pressed on the head of the bed when she was unconscious, and she did some unspeakable things. Thinking of the past, Qinghe's face also slowly turned red. The woman's freedom suddenly disappeared and turned into embarrassment.
Qinghe said angrily: "I'm changing clothes, why are you staring at me? Turn your head away."
"They're all daughters, what can't you see..." Mu Gui muttered in a low voice, but just as he turned around obediently, the back of his head was slammed, and when he heard Qing He scolding with a smile, he laughed happily flower.
"loquacious."
Qing He quickly changed her clothes and walked around behind Mu Gui for an afternoon. She hadn't finished half of the barracks. After all, it accommodated 20 soldiers and the site was so big that it would be impossible to finish it all in one day just by walking.Mu Gui has been like this all year round so that he doesn't feel anything, but Qinghe's soles are sore, and in the end it was Mu Gui who carried her on his back to the camp.
The two of them had just reached the door when they suddenly heard the two gatekeepers shouting: "General, I have a guest asking for a visit!"
