C1370 Engraving Soup (2/2)
”Please don't kneel, the prime minister would be unhappy if you kneel. Go and eat!”
At this time, the army pot had already released a rich fragrance, and the last bucket of canned beef was sliced up and poured into the pot, followed by a handful of pepper. The hot and spicy thick soup was finally out of the oven.
Xiao Letian and Luo Huo had yet to straighten their backs, but a line of lunchboxes was already placed in front of them. ”What's the rush? ”Wait a moment, come one by one. Let the husband and wife who have just returned from the Far East fill the first bowl first …”
Humans were despicable! He clearly knew that the Prime Minister was trying to win the hearts of others. How much could a spoonful of soup be worth? However, the human heart was just so unfathomable. As soon as these words were said, Jin Yandiao and Chun Zi immediately began to cry, and their tears started to drip down.
”Come, come, come. We've traveled thousands of miles on the sea, and the cold wind must have blew a lot, right? ”Drink some hot soup to warm your body and add some pepper to warm your body …” Xiao Letian was extremely cordial as he scooped up two whole spoonfuls of dry goods.
This really was a luxurious pot of stew, dried abalone, fresh shrimp, beef, lambs, river bamboo sticks... The countless ingredients mixed together were tamed by Xiao Letian's Five Flavors and released an enticing fragrance.
The two of them held a lunchbox respectfully. Two spoonfuls of soup were enough to fill the entire lunchbox, and Luo Huo then handed a piece of bread to the two of them. ”Go find a place on the table, eat!”
Everyone was waiting in line for the Prime Minister to distribute the soup, while Xiao Letian acted like a chef. He did not put on any airs, and gave everyone their share of the soup while Luo Huo helped to distribute the bread.
Not long after, the entire tent was filled with the sound of soup being poured, Jin Yandiao took a sip, then squinted her eyes and happily said to Chun Zi: ”Wifey! ”Hurry up and try it, it's really delicious!”
”Delicious? ”Then drink more …” Jin Yandiao never thought that Xiao Letian would actually sit beside him with a lunchbox as well, smiling as he broke off a piece of bread from Jin Yandiao's plate.
”What is the situation in the Far East? Tell me, did the Dragon Lord's counterattack go smoothly? ”This guy only knows how to say good news in a telegram every day, and then he wants something. He doesn't tell me the bad news at all …”
Jin Yandiao gulped down the bread in her mouth and said emotionally, ”The General Xiang is doing very well. The mobilization of the citizens of the Far East is extremely good. ”Our army is still as strict as ever. We help our fellow villagers chop firewood and cook, and we accompany them in hunting the black bears that forage for the cats …”
”Furthermore, we did not live in the houses of the citizens for nothing. We did not eat for nothing, and all the citizens on both sides of the Wusuli River praised us for our good army!”
Chun Zi also opened his mouth, ”Not only that, the General Xiang even took out countless of literate soldiers from the army and started small classes in every village and village. Since the winter people outside have nothing to do, we can use this time to practice literacy!”
”The literacy class opened all night, and almost all the children were forced to read by their parents. Now, the details of the Prime Minister's Chinese decree have already been widely spread in the Far East, and the citizens have all gone crazy. As soon as spring arrived, the General Xiang counterattack order was issued, and within half a month, over 60,000 young and strong people have already requested to join the army …”
