At this time, the fruit of the mountain was probably not edible. It was too sour. The ferns were fresh and tender, but they were usually boiled in water. With the green and oily pot of soup, the taste would make one sick of it no matter how good it was.

Looking at the game she had brought back, Su Zhi thought for a while before being slaughtered by someone for killing wild boars and goats.

The army was a good place to practice martial arts, and they were all nimble when it came to rough work.

After the wild boar and the goat were cleaned up, Su Zhi quickly ordered some people to leave all their internal organs behind, saying they were useful.

”Young lady Su, what's the use of keeping these in the water? Just in case they stink when it's hot, it won't be good to smell them.”

Su Zhi was so busy that she did not explain any further. She just asked them to keep it, not to throw it away.

Lunch was a roast lamb meal, so using the fire to cook it in the tent was a taboo. However, Xiao Qian didn't say anything during the break and just let the little woman do what she wanted.

More than a dozen sheep were roasted on the fire rack. Su Zhi went to check the situation one by one. Fortunately, her helpers were strong enough to help her.

The rest of the wild boar was sliced into thin pieces by the finely crafted lackey. He cooked a few large pots of meat and sprinkled them with the fragrance of garlic.

She made the hickory sauce again and used it for the roast mutton sauce.

When lunch was almost ready, Su Zhi was also tired to the point that her eyes were blurry.

In the kitchen, the woman heard from the general who was helping the assistant general that one third of the men in the barracks had been dismissed and only part of the military pay had been allocated. The general read the soldiers' thoughts about their families and even paid for the return of those who did not receive military pay.

The only son of the family left first, the unmarried ones left first. There were those who left first with their wives and children, leaving only a few people behind.

Su Zhi admired Xiao Qian's actions very much.

As a general, it was not only necessary for him to kill the enemy, but it was also important for him to distribute the labor while he was busy.

Xiao Qian was a rare man and a good general.

Today's lunch was an unprecedented sumptuous one. There was a plate of stewed meat with stir-fried ferns, roast lamb and cold mixed vegetables. The soldiers were eating very well.

Xiao Qian sat in the tent as he watched the dishes on the plate. His cold face had traces of being frozen.

He walked out of the tent and looked at the back and forth between the two of them with a look of approval.
