Chapter 193 Encountering the enemy After
Feng steamed the rice in the pot, when she went out of the house, she saw fruit shells all over the floor and a little baby jumping vigorously.
She was a little amused and had to hold up the girl, pat her little butt, and went back to greet the house.
"Eldest wife, second wife, come out and collect the peanuts that smell like toes. If you keep drying them, a naughty kid will be in trouble!"
Little Nuobao stretched his little neck, laughed and shook his head, and was quite proud.
Look at the nuts on the floor, they were all "peeled" by her with toe beans, which must have saved the sisters-in-law a lot of effort!
Li Qiqiao was busy. After picking up the peanut kernels, she took them to the front of the school to find a grinding stone without Feng saying anything.
Grinding, sifting, waking up the pulp, making brine... the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked for more than half an hour, and the white tofu was finally formed. Peanut
tofu is much smoother and more delicate than soybean tofu. Just tap it with a spoon, and the whole big piece of tofu will shake in the plate.
The whole family smelled the fragrance and wanted to drool.
Jiang Fenghu poked it and said, "Mom, this is really smoother than the tofu we usually eat. It looks like my sister's little face. I want to take a bite!"
Li Qiqiao slapped his dirty hand away.
"Go away, you are the only one who wants to bite Nuobao's face? I think you are asking for trouble again."
"Hehe, that's just what you said, how can I bear to do that."
Feng couldn't help but snort and laugh: "Okay, stop making trouble, let's stew the tofu quickly, otherwise the little glutton in the house will be waiting anxiously."
Li Qiqiao responded with a smile, and then ordered Jiang Fenghu to wash the pot and light the fire, and then served the eight-treasure rice on the other side.
Peanut tofu should not be stewed for a long time, Feng first made a sweet tofu pudding, cut some pork, and made a minced meat stewed tofu.
The rest was coated with egg liquid and fried in oil. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It could be brushed with chili sauce or sprinkled with white sugar. It depends on your taste.
Little Nuobao held the bowl of sweet tofu pudding and looked down. Now he finally knew what white as cream meant. As soon
as she put her little mouth close to it, she slurped and the tofu cubes slid into her mouth.
The tofu was so soft and tender that it slid and slid in her mouth. The little glutinous rice cubes didn't need to be chewed at all. They melted in two sips and were so delicious that they made her lips and teeth fragrant.
The little girl ate two bowls in a row and mixed some eight-treasure rice with sugar, which made her mouth sweet.
After she was full, she hugged her round belly and leaned on Feng's knees, wanting to doze off.
In summer, even the wind blowing by is wrapped in heat.
Feng was so hot that she pulled at her clothes, took out the newly bought cool mat, and put the little glutinous rice cubes on it to lie down.
Jiang Fengnian also took a cattail leaf fan and fanned his sister gently, fearing that this little sweetheart would get a heat rash.
"Hoo~" Although Tian'er was very dry, he slept soundly with his mother and brother taking care of him.
Amid the slight snoring, Feng and Jiang Fengnian talked about Fengze and whispered.
"I don't know where the third brother and Mr. Xiao are now." Feng's eyebrows flashed with worry: "Mom hopes that they can defend the city, but I am also afraid that they... really meet the Tartars. I often think about them these two nights and sometimes I can't sleep well."
I hope my son can succeed, but I am also afraid that he will be hurt.
This is the heart of a mother, and Feng can't help to suffer.
Jiang Fengnian, the eldest brother, was the same. He thought and comforted: "Mom, Fengze and Mr. Xiao have been away from home for six or seven days. It is estimated that the people who went to the capital to report the news have arrived long ago. According to the time, the court should also send people to the prefectural capital. As long as the court's soldiers arrive, they can come back."
"I hope so." Feng wanted to say something else, but was afraid that her words would come true, so she could only sigh and shake her head.
Jiang Fengnian was also very anxious.
However, when his eyes fell on Nuobao's face, his expression was inexplicably relaxed.
"Mom, don't be afraid, don't we still have a younger sister at home? As long as Nuobao is here, even if we encounter a big problem, our family can turn the bad into good!" Jiang Fengnian's tone became firm.
These words were like a reassurance pill, and Feng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing them.
She kissed Nuobao's smooth little forehead several times, with hope in her eyes: "Yes, with this precious baby in our family, mother doesn't have to be afraid of anything..."
...
Now, not only the Jiang family is worried about Jiang Fengze, Fengze and Xiao Lanyi are also worried about their family.
The two of them had already arrived at Liaodong Camp.
At this time, more than 200 old subordinates had been summoned, and they were staying in the original camp, arranging matters to guard against the Tartars.
Among the old subordinates of Liaodong Camp, there was still one commander and two battalion heads left, and the rest were soldiers.
Jiang Fengze looked at the commander with a sad face and a half-limp leg, and his admiration arose spontaneously.
He glanced at the map of the prefectural city, then bowed and said, "Commander Liu, just like yesterday, please take people to guard the armory, and send some people to patrol the important places in the prefectural city. After nightfall, you can come back to rest, and Xiao Lanyi and I will take over."
It was rare to be re-assembled. After recognizing the token of the Xiao family, everyone was excited, and finally they could contribute to the people's lives!
Commander Liu was even more unambiguous.
He swore early on that he would defend the prefectural city even if he risked his life.
After making arrangements, Jiang Fengze felt a little relieved, sat next to the clubhouse in the camp, and looked in the direction of Daliu Village.
"We've been out for so long, mom must be worried."
"I don't know if my sister is eating and drinking well at home, and if anyone is playing with her during the day." Jiang Fengze murmured softly.
On weekdays, Jiang Fengze and Xiao Lanyi are the ones who take care of Nuobao and Chunger the most.
But of course, Chunger is just a side job, and little Nuobao is their sweetheart.
Now that they haven't been out for a long time, other things are not a big deal, but Jiang Fengze can't stand missing his sister too much.
Xiao Lanyi stayed at the Jiang family for many days and had long regarded herself as half a member of the Jiang family.
He grabbed his boots, knocked the stones on the ground, and said sullenly: "Well, Nuobao will miss us soon. When we go back, buy her more toys in the city."
"And your mother, if we don't go back, she will probably not sleep well at night, alas."
Thinking of the Jiang family, Xiao Lanyi rested his chin on his knees, feeling a little sad.
Fortunately, in the past six or seven days, everything in the city has been relatively peaceful.
Jiang Fengze has been a military officer for several years and has enough experience. He did not choose to advance rashly. After not noticing the traces of the Tartars, he decided not to search everywhere.
Instead, he arranged personnel to guard the granaries, bankers and armories in the city, to protect these important places and wait for reinforcements from the capital.
Thinking that if they guarded for another day or two, the court might send people, and they would feel at ease by then, the two of them felt a little more relaxed, so they rolled together and played the old trick of wrestling and fighting.
The soldiers in other camps looked at the two of them, smoking the cheapest dry cigarettes and sighing with envy.
"You still have to be young. After patrolling all night yesterday, you can still be energetic today."
"Hehe, we are all old and useless."
"These two young people are great, but even though we are old, we can't slack off. If we really encounter the Tartars, we can't kill less than the young people."
Everyone laughed for a while, and when they were hungry, they lit a fire and cooked some porridge.
Add boiled wild vegetables and dried radishes, and it was a meal for these old soldiers of Liaodong Camp.
Jiang Fengze and Xiao Lanyi didn't pretend to be sympathetic. They took out the last dry food and distributed it to everyone, and then held the porridge and wild vegetables, and ate it with everyone.
After having a good meal, Xiao Lanyi was just about to chat with everyone about some interesting things in Daliu Village and show off Xiao Nuobao.
However, at this moment, a loud shout from not far away suddenly interrupted them.
"Brothers, our commander has found the den of Tartar thieves and is taking people to catch them. Let me come back and call for help!"
Jiang Fengze and Xiao Lanyi looked at each other, and their hearts sank.
Not good!
How can we go ahead with more than 20 people when we don't know the enemy situation?
Xiao Lanyi stood up anxiously: "Commander Liu has been silent here for a long time. He is too eager to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. He is really reckless. Come on, brothers, come with me and find Commander Liu first!"
Everyone hurriedly put on their swords and followed, no one was afraid.
At this time, Xiao Lanyi had no idea that the Tartars had been hiding for many days and had already gathered thousands of people.
Now, Commander Liu had been chopped down by the sword, and all his limbs were cut off.
On the other side, the Tartars were laying out a net, waiting for the remaining people to come here and give their lives...
