Chapter 191 Preparation
Night falls.
Everyone sat around the campfire. The soldiers' wounds had been treated. Some were immersed in the joy of victory, while others were depressed and mourned their brothers who died in battle.
Only delicious food can relieve all worries.
The two sisters of the Su family knew the pain and suffering in their hearts, so they did not skimp on the seasonings and used all the stock they had.
In addition, Su Chengnan felt that eating meat alone was not enough, so he took out some dried vegetables that he had dried on the road from the space.
As soon as she took it out, the cook next to her was dumbfounded.
"Miss Su, how come there are still such green vegetables in this season? You guys really preserved them well!"
"Is this... green?"
Su Chengnan looked at the half-yellow, half-green vegetable leaves in his hand. They were obviously wilted and wrinkled, and not at all fresh and green!
"Of course! Although we also ate a lot of winter vegetables in advance, there were so many of us that we had to eat sparingly. Now we have basically finished them all, and only this little bit is left."
He turned around and took out a handful of broken and black dried vegetables from the basket beside him. He said with an embarrassed look, "If it weren't for the victory today, we wouldn't be willing to take them all out to eat."
Su Chengnan looked at the dish in his hand, then looked at what he had just taken out, well... he really didn't know what to say.
Chen Hao was passing by with his soldiers and accidentally glanced at the dish in Su Chengnan's hand. He immediately turned on his toes and walked over alone.
"Am I seeing things? There are actually such fresh dishes now? This, this, this, are we going to add some extra food?"
Su Chengnan looked at Su Linhua, then at Chen Hao, and laughed, "Yeah, if it's not enough, I'll get some more?"
"That's great! There are vegetables and meat, this is really wonderful! I'm getting hungry just talking about it."
Su Linhua picked up a bun from the steamer next to her and handed it to him, "Here, eat it."
"No, no, I'm leading the troops here, how can I eat alone? Let's go! I'll come back when the meal is ready."
Chen Hao touched his head, chuckled, and walked away, but his eagle eyes were still fixed on the vegetable leaves.
Su Chengnan couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry! Your share will be included."
"Okay! Thank you very much." He turned around and walked two steps backwards, then he strode up to catch up with the team.
The two sisters looked at each other, silently linked their arms and walked to the back, and when no one was paying attention, they secretly put a lot more vegetables into the basket.
This vegetable has been dried in the sun and is dehydrated so it doesn't take up much space. Just throw some into the pot and you can cook a large pot of it.
Su Chengnan felt sorry for the soldiers of the Beiling Army. He felt that their life was not easy, so he always wanted to help them as much as possible with food.
"Bingsan." She turned around and shouted.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
"I remember there's a river nearby, why don't we try our luck there? I've never tried ice fishing in the snow before!"
"Ah? This..." Bing San looked embarrassed and said hesitantly, "Miss, I'm afraid there are no fish in this snowy day."
Su Linhua interrupted him in time: "Who said that! Have you forgotten what happened before? You all said there were no fish, but what happened? As soon as my eldest sister left, the fish in the river were about to flood!"
Bingsan was choked with speech, feeling that this statement seemed to make sense.
"Let's go and take a look! If we don't have it, we can come back right away. It won't delay anything."
"Well, that's fine. But the weather is not as good as before, young lady, you must not go into the water."
"Okay, got it." Su Chengnan smiled.
Now that the words have been spoken, it will surely be fruitful.
So when they came back with a basket full of live fish, everyone who saw them was stunned!
The news spread quickly, and several generals were cursing, "Let's go and take a look during the drill tomorrow morning! It doesn't make sense that the Su family can catch fish while we can't!"
"Come on, Miss Su is like a fairy from the earth. Didn't you see the big crossbow on the tower? That thing really helped us a lot! Getting some fish is no big deal."
"Hey, you know what, it's true when you think about it this way. Hahahaha..." Everyone laughed and immediately forgot about going fishing the next morning.
In such a cold day, everyone should have some self-awareness. Don't wait until you fail to catch any fish and end up freezing yourself, which would be a waste of time.
…
The chili powder is mixed with cumin, peppercorns and other spices, and when poured over boiling hot oil, the aroma fills the air instantly, making you salivate.
Su Linhua hummed a song as she applied the seasoning oil evenly to the horse meat skewers with a brush, and the skewers sizzled as they were grilled.
The injured fat man came over, holding his stomach, and said, "Second Miss, is the meat cooked? It smells so good, it makes my stomach itch."
He stared at the skewers and swallowed his saliva, wishing he could just grab them himself.
Su Linhua didn't care about Chen Hao's talk of having dinner with everyone, and directly gave two skewers to the fat man.
"Try and see if it's salty enough."
"Okay, okay, let me try it!"
The fat man was impatient and quickly stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed it twice like swallowing a whole apple, and immediately opened his eyes wide, "Good, delicious!" He burned his tongue and was opening his mouth desperately to breathe out air.
Seeing this, Su Chengnan poured him a glass of water from the side and said, "It's cold, drink slowly."
He didn't even bother to say thank you, he just took it and drank it all in one gulp. After two or three seconds, he recovered and continued, "Thank you, Miss. Second Miss's cooking skills are amazing!"
The fat man gave a thumbs up: "This horse meat is usually very tough, but I didn't expect that after being brushed with this material, it is actually very flavorful and has an endless aftertaste!"
Su Linhua raised her chin proudly and said in a mysterious way, "Is it just the oil that's different? Didn't you taste anything else?"
"Anything else?" The fat man frowned and thought hard.
"Take a closer look at this skewer..."
The fat man took a closer look and discovered something unusual.
"Huh? Pickled?"
"Yeah, you call yourself a foodie, but you didn't figure it out, hehe."
As for what was used to marinate it, Su Linhua refused to tell him no matter how he asked, because it was modern marinade powder, and he wouldn't understand it even if he was told.
At the banquet.
Except for the lack of wine, vegetables, fish, meat, skewers, fresh soup, rice, flour and steamed buns, everything is available!
Everyone had a hearty meal with their stomachs opened.
Especially the pot of vegetable and bone soup, which is even more popular than eating meat! This was something Su Chengnan had never expected.
After everyone had filled their stomachs, Li Shanqi raised his teacup and looked at Su Chengnan:
"Niece! You played an indispensable role in our victory this time!"
