How dare you deceive me
who was eating a mouthful of Sandstone Rice had mixed feelings about it! As the noble son of heaven, when had he ever suffered like this? In his entire life, the hardest thing on him was training in Xiao Letian's New barracks.
At that time, it was really bitter and tiring to stand in the army, practice orthopedics, target shooting, running, fighting … Every day, he would perspire four or five ocean bowls!
But putting all the hardships on the side, the food was really good!
Prussian soldier was full of envy. Everyday, there were enough meat, eggs, fish, pipes, vegetables and fruits to make it better. Zai Chun's appetite was earned just by eating there.
The Head of the Guards really did not want the soldiers to eat gritty rice. had never eaten sand in his life before anyways!
Today, for the sake of displaying his own army, he had risked his life, but he did not expect that this was just the beginning, followed by the second round where he won the prize.
I endured the two mouthfuls of sand. In any case, I just took a small sip of the rice and pretended to eat it, but I never expected that there would be a third or fourth reward later!
In such a small ball of rice the size of a child's fist, Zai Chun had eaten five mouthfuls of sand.
”Which bastard military quartermaster bought this rice?” Why is there so much sand? ”Bastard!”
The emperor was enraged, Shen Baozhen and the other officials kneeled down, ”Please calm your anger your majesty, your subject will die!”
This situation was quite awkward. The civil officials had already kneeled down to the generals, but were they still kneeling down? Would the soldiers kneel? But Hail personally said that the New Army abolished the kneeling ceremony ah!
Zai Chun looked at Xie Ting and the others whose knees were about to bend, and was enraged. ”Our soldiers are not meant to be kowtowing, stand at attention!” All the soldiers by the fire stood at attention and looked like they were in charge of military affairs.
”I ask you, why is there so much sand in this rice? Is that all you eat every day? ”
Xie Ting was even stunned, he was so scared that he could not even react ”Ah? Long live... Isn't it normal for there to be sand in this rice? Where is the rice and sand? ”
”How about I pick some for His Majesty …”
Xie Ting was not the only confused one, the other soldiers were also confused. They were all poor mountain people, to have white rice to eat was already equivalent to burning incense to worship Buddha in their previous life.
To be honest, these soldiers that were suffering had never eaten a rice without sand before!
When Shen Baozhen saw that these soldiers did not understand what he meant, he hurriedly kneeled down and kowtowed, ”Calm down His Majesty, this is my fault! ”It has nothing to do with the quartermaster of the army …”
The thirty thousand strong army will not be able to deliver any rice and foodstuffs to the horse tail city. It was this official who ordered his subordinates to purchase them for the commoners. It must be one of my men! ”
If Shen Baozhen did not come here to take the blame, then he would have to kill the New Army's quartermaster!
Tongzhi spat out all the stone fragments from his mouth. His entire mouth was sore and numb as he took a few deep breaths, ”I apologize to you …” ”Men, bring two portions of my dishes to our brothers …”
”I need to investigate this grain merchant who delivered rice to me later!” ”This is too outrageous …”
Tongzhi ate a few mouthfuls of sand at the first stop of his inspection. It was also thanks to him roaming around the world and living amongst the people for a few years, that the Emperor's bad temper had improved a lot. Otherwise, he would have killed on the spot!
After leaving Xie Ting's bonfire, Tongzhi continued to persuade people to go check out the soldiers' food. Because of the discovery just now, most of Zai Chun's attention was on the soldiers' rice pot.
The second bonfire was not sausage rice. There was a pot of meat soup beside the steamed rice. Three empty canned beef s were thrown to the side and the soldiers threw a lot of wild vegetables into it.
