Ding Qiang glanced at Geng Tao with a smile, his hands busy chopping radishes.
"Of course. King Qianhuang is very generous to his soldiers."
"King Qianhuang said there will be plenty of meat buns and dumplings tonight."
The food, meat and vegetables in the warehouse were enough to feed the entire military camp for seven or eight days if eaten carefully.
But if you eat as much as you can, it will be gone in a day.
But what King Qianhuang said was right. The weather was too hot, and the meat and vegetables would wilt quickly if they were not kept. It would be better to let the soldiers eat them.
Rice, flour, grain and oil can still be stored for a while.
So this afternoon, he asked the cooks to prepare some big dishes.
Braised pork ribs with radish, roast chicken with potatoes, stewed pork belly with beans, cucumber salad, stewed meat with cabbage and vermicelli...
Geng Tao and He Feng looked at each other, their mouths almost open in shock.
Ding Qiang looked at the two people who were so shocked that they couldn't speak, and laughed even more happily.
Who wouldn't be happy following a master like this?
"By the way, the food is ready. Please tell the general and the military advisor so they can arrange for someone to come over for dinner."
"Hurry up, so many brothers are hungry, we need to come in several groups to eat."
To feed hundreds of thousands of people, the food must be divided into at least 20 batches, and some are still being prepared.
Geng Tao looked at the pots of meaty dishes and nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, I'll go find the military advisor and make arrangements."
This matter should be arranged by Guard Ji Guangda.
However, Ji Guangda was responsible for distributing the salaries of new soldiers at the gate of the prefectural yamen, which was too far from the military camp.
Asking Jiang Daqiang to arrange it is even more impossible.
Jiang Daqiang is a rough guy. If he were asked to arrange these trivial matters, he would scratch his head.
Jian Guangqi accompanied Chen Yong to the military training ground to watch the new recruits register.
The parade ground is not far from the military camp, so the smell of food from the military camp drifted directly to the parade ground.
The aroma of rice filled the air, and everyone was so greedy that they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
The rumbling sound of the stomach filled the air.
Jian Guangqi swallowed his saliva and looked at Shen Yong with a smile.
"It looks like the food is already ready."
Shen Yong nodded and said, "You can arrange for someone to go eat."
Not to mention, this big pot of rice smells pretty good.
Jian Guangqi was about to nod when he saw Geng Tao and He Feng running towards him with their legs crossed.
"Greetings to King Qianhuang..."
Chen Yong looked at the cucumber peels on their lips and pulled the corners of his lips, "Is dinner ready?!"
Geng Tao looked at Shen Yong with wide eyes excitedly, "Yes, a pot is already ready."
Shen Yong nodded and looked at Jian Guangqi, "Go and arrange for the soldiers to have a meal."
"Yes!" Jian Guangqi responded excitedly, "You two follow me."
Jian Guangqi, along with two generals, plunged into the crowd.
Soon, a group of soldiers standing on the street with sore legs rushed towards the barracks with drooling eyes...
.......
"Mom, thank you for your hard work."
Chen Yong landed lightly in the kitchen yard of the prefectural government office.
Seeing that Old Madam Shen was busy and sweaty, with red cheeks, he quickly stepped forward and supported Old Madam Shen's arm.
"Mom, sit down and rest for a while."
Old Madam Shen smiled and patted Shen Yong's hand.
"Mom is not tired, there are still many people who haven't eaten yet."
"By the way, Mom left some food for you, come with me."
As she spoke, Madam Shen directly pulled Shen Yong towards the main hall.
Shen Yong glanced at the women busy in the yard, then tactfully followed Old Madam Shen to the main hall.
He is here, influencing the performance of these women.
It was a hot day and cooking was very hot, so everyone rolled up their sleeves unconsciously when cooking.
Some older women even roll up their trouser legs high.
When he appeared at the kitchen door, the women were visibly panicked and began to pull down their trouser legs and sleeves.
"These are home-cooked dishes made especially for you by the local Mrs. Zhang."
Old Madam Shen opened the food box on the table and took out the steaming food inside.
"This is big plate chicken, stir-fried lamb with green onions, noodles with臊子 (臊子) sauce, and a bowl of tomato and egg soup."
She specially added that bowl of tomato and egg soup. She always felt like something was missing when eating without soup.
When Chen Yong smelled the delicious food, his stomach growled twice.
He chuckled dryly, then immediately picked up his chopsticks and took a big mouthful of the臊子面.
"Hmm~~~ It smells so good, Aunt Zhang's cooking skills are really good..."
Old Madam Shen looked at Shen Yong eating with such relish, and smiled with narrowed eyes.
"There's still some臊子面 in the kitchen. I'll get you another bowl."
Lao Qi has a big appetite, so one bowl of noodles is definitely not enough.
Chen Yong raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile, nodded gently, and said,
"Okay! Two more bowls, please."
After saying that, he lowered his head again and quickly swallowed the delicious noodles in his mouth.
Then, Shen Yong raised his head, looked at Mrs. Shen who was sitting opposite him with concern, and asked,
"Mother, have you and your sisters-in-law eaten yet?"
As he spoke, he was still chewing the noodles he had just swallowed.
Old Madam Shen smiled and looked at Shen Yong who was eating heartily, her eyes full of love. She replied softly,
"We've eaten it a long time ago. This is the臊子面 my sister-in-law made. As soon as it was served, we couldn't wait to taste it first."
As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up and prepared to go to the kitchen to bring two more bowls of steaming noodles to Shen Yong.
