Chapter 292 Cooking Meat on the Tower
The Zhou soldiers did not want the horse that Simon had died on in battle, so they gave it to the people who helped them carry the bodies.
The soldiers of the Great Zhou also said that whoever touched the things on the corpse would get them, so those who participated in transporting the corpse not only got several kilograms of horse meat, but also made a small fortune.
They didn't expect that these soldiers guarding the city were so rich. After passing through the hands of the Great Zhou soldiers, although the silver notes and large silver ingots were gone, there were still a lot of small silver pieces and copper coins.
From then on, Gou'er learned his lesson. He ran faster than anyone else when it came to military matters, and he didn't care whether he was paid or not.
Of course, every time the Great Zhou army asked the people to work, they would give them some compensation, some of which were food, and some were silver. During the days that the Great Zhou army entered the city, the people in the city had food and drink.
They didn't mind killing the dead horses and eating the meat. They took the meat home and the whole family was as happy as if it were New Year's Day.
I only ate a small piece that day, and pickled the rest with salt to eat slowly later.
You know, they haven't seen meat for more than a year, let alone real meat.
Although it is a dead horse, the meat is still fresh. It has just died and blood can still be released after its throat is cut. There is so much meat that you can't wait to be happy. What is there to dislike?
In Grandpa Gou'er's words, the Great Zhou army arrived and they finally survived.
After the pig was slaughtered, Bai Li waved his hand and said, "Move the pots and stoves, and get on the city wall!"
Wu Lanzhi thought about it again and again but still couldn't understand. She couldn't help but ask, "Marshal Bai, this..."
"Come up to the city wall and cook some meat. Let those bastards of King Jin die of their greed!"
The tower is more than three feet high. If you cook meat on it, the aroma can spread ten miles away...
Gao Dani reacted and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"Hey, hey, hey, this is great, it's going to make them so hungry and piss them off!"
Gao Dani took Wu Lanzhi, who was still in a daze, away, and Luo Yang took a dozen soldiers to move the pots and stoves.
After a while, Bai Dalang came over.
"Sister, shall we cook meat on the city wall?"
I didn't hear it clearly just now, so I came here to ask for clarification.
You know, it was a rare opportunity to see meat, and many soldiers were drooling and stretching their necks in anticipation of this meal.
This is the expectation of all the soldiers and we cannot be careless.
"Why? We can't cook on the city wall?"
Bai Li suppressed her laughter and rolled her eyes at her elder brother.
He is so impatient and not steady at all.
The gentle and kind elder brother seems to have been ruined by his white moonlight butterfly.
"Yes, it can be cooked, but why go to such great lengths to cook it on the city wall?"
"On the city wall, cook it so that others will be envious to death!"
Bai Li smiled complacently and kept the question in suspense.
Bai Dalang, his mind full of questions, followed them up the tower. The stoves were set up, with more than a dozen large pots lined up in a row. A dozen cooks simultaneously lit the fire. After a while, the pots boiled, and the bones in the pots tossed and turned with the boiling water. A burst of meaty aroma wafted out, without a trace of fishy smell, a pure, rich meaty aroma that drifted far, far away on the wind...
Five miles away is the military camp of Prince Jin.
"It smells so good, where does that meaty aroma come from?"
"Damn it, whoever's cooking meat, go and take away their pot!"
The Simon Army had just had their supplies robbed and was filled with anger. When they smelled the meat, their appetite was aroused and they were so angry that they cursed and wanted to kill people.
After a while, the people who went out came back and said, "Boss, we went to check and it's not the village that's cooking meat."
Since the last time they went to rob food, all the people in the two nearby villages have left, leaving only a few families of the elderly, children, and the disabled, who are half-dead and struggling to survive in the village.
"It smells better and better. Who the hell cooked meat on purpose to tempt me?"
"No, Boss, it's coming from above, it seems to be from the city wall!"
"Go and have a look at the two of them."
At this time, King Jin was also attracted by the smell and walked out of the barracks.
"What's going on?"
Just then, someone who had gone out to gather information returned and, upon seeing the King of Jin, immediately reported, "Your Highness, someone is cooking meat over there on the Qinzhou city wall, and the smell has drifted over here!"
King Jin frowned and said in a deep voice, "Let's go and take a look."
The King of Jin walked to a hillside with a few personal soldiers. It was less than a mile away from Qinzhou City, and the high wall in the distance seemed to be within reach.
At this time, the petite figure on the high wall, who had taken off her uniform and was wearing casual clothes, was so dazzling and eye-catching that he would recognize her even if she turned into ashes. She was the woman who was against him and was born to be his nemesis!
"Your Majesty, why are they cooking meat on the city wall?"
Someone asked the question foolishly, and someone nearby quickly pulled him back.
"Prince Jin, they did it on purpose. How despicable!"
The face of the King of Jin was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping with water, and his eyes staring at the city wall seemed to be spitting fire.
Bai Li seemed to sense something and looked over here.
The two men who had unknowingly become mortal enemies stared at each other from afar across the city wall. One of them raised his eyebrows and deliberately provoked.
One of them had fire in his eyes as if he wanted to eat people.
“What delicious meat buns!”
At this time, Bai Li opened the lid of a steamer, and a fragrant smell of meat filling and wheat wafted in, which was even more tempting than the meat aroma just now.
"Prince Jin, they are cooking our food!"
Someone noticed that the empty bags hanging on the city wall were the dark brown sacks unique to Simon.
Because Simon's textile industry is underdeveloped, especially these cotton and linen wovens are not processed and bleached, they are woven as soon as the raw materials are collected, so their sacks retain the original color of the linen, which is obviously different from those of the Great Zhou.
"Prince Jin, why don't we just charge into the city, eat the meat and steal the food!"
"Prince Jin, give the order!"
Several generals were eager to try.
"That's enough! If you want to turn into a hedgehog in the next moment, I won't stop you!"
"What's the meaning?"
Some people were careful and broke out in a cold sweat after seeing the dense arrows on the battlements of the city wall.
"This...this! Too insidious!"
"Walk!"
King Jin plucked a handful of weeds, threw them on the ground and crushed them hard with his feet!
That night, the soldiers on the city wall were drinking soup and eating meat buns with big mouthfuls, while on the side of King Jin, everyone smelled the delicious aroma and looked at the black flour buns in their hands, and could no longer swallow them.
"Damn it, this life is so frustrating!"
"That's right, it was clearly our food, and yet someone stole it! We can't swallow this!"
Someone threw the pancake away and rushed out.
"Do you want to rebel?!"
Several deputy generals immediately stepped forward to suppress the commotion, and the buzzing noise below gradually died down.
"Our food supplies were robbed. This is an established fact. There is no point in saying more.
The court has gathered more supplies and sent them to us. As long as we hold out for a dozen more days, we'll have food and fodder. The Great Zhou army is trapped in the city. Once they've eaten up their food and run out of ammunition and food, it's time for us to storm the city and exact our revenge!"
