Chapter 379 A Full Meal
After hearing the princess's instructions, Feng Er led a large group of people straight to the greenhouse. Qin Chuchu looked at Aunt Liu beside her.
"Aunt Liu, go get all the eggs from the warehouse and make a poached egg for each of them."
While speaking, he pointed to the warehouse in the distance. These people had not eaten for several days and must be very malnourished.
The dumpling soup only contained vegetables, which was too plain, so I thought of giving each of them a fried egg to make up for it.
Even when leaving, I still have the energy to walk.
After hearing her words, Aunt Liu looked embarrassed again.
"Princess, we don't have enough eggs in our warehouse for them to share."
"How could that be? Didn't two large trucks arrive a few days ago?"
Qin Chuchu looked at Aunt Liu in confusion. It was just a few days ago that they bought two large carriages, which must have cost at least tens of thousands of yuan, and the money was taken from her.
It’s only been a short time, how could it not be enough!
Seeing what the princess was thinking, Aunt Liu pointed at the people in front of her.
"Princess, although we still have more than 50,000 eggs in Curry, there are too many people here, and there are not enough to share."
Tens of thousands of eggs may seem like a lot, but there are too many people here, so it is impossible to give one to everyone.
Following the direction of Aunt Liu's finger, Qin Chuchu looked at the people in front of her.
"Do you know how many people are here?"
Although there were quite a few people in front of her, she didn't know the exact number. Aren't more than 50,000 eggs enough to share?
While he was thinking about it, Feng Yi came up to him and made the number seven.
"Princess, I just counted and there are 70,000 people here!"
“Seven… cough cough cough…”
Qin Chuchu almost choked to death on her own saliva and looked at the people in front of her in disbelief.
I only knew that there were quite a few people here, more than those at home, but I didn't expect there were more than double.
If 70,000 people each get one egg, that would still be 70,000 eggs. That's scary.
But I can't afford to support these ancestors, so I thought I had to let them go as soon as possible after this meal, otherwise I would be bankrupted by them.
Aunt Liu hurried to help her calm down, and Qin Chuchu finally felt better.
"It's just over fifty thousand, so take it all out and throw it into the dumpling soup!"
She pointed to the tent where the eggs were kept and said, since there wasn't enough for everyone, she would just put them in the dumpling soup so that at least everyone could get some.
It can also help me replenish some nutrition and have the strength to leave quickly.
Naturally, others didn't know what she was thinking, but Aunt Liu nodded immediately after hearing it.
"Yes, I will take someone to get it right away."
As he spoke, he called on housekeeper Liu to come and help. After a while, carts of big red-skinned eggs were delivered.
The soldiers present were dazzled by the sight. They thought it would be good enough to just have the dumpling soup, but they didn't expect there were also vegetables and eggs.
Although I can eat enough these days, it is still far inferior to this kind of food.
No wonder the boss risked being punished and brought them out. The food was too delicious.
I haven't even put it in my mouth yet, but my mouth is watering just looking at it.
Soon, Feng Er came back with the people picking vegetables.
Everyone was carrying two large baskets of vegetables, which made everyone excited again.
Although it is midsummer now, it is not easy to eat green vegetables. It is good enough if you can dig some wild vegetables in the mountains.
How could I possibly eat such plump and juicy vegetables in front of me? Even though I have never eaten them, I feel that they must taste good just by looking at them.
As soon as the water in the big pot boils, first use eggs to make egg drop soup, and then pour the mixed dough into it.
Pots of prepared dough balls were poured in, and in a short while it became a pot of sticky dumpling soup.
The soldiers around were watching and swallowing their saliva. The smell was so delicious.
I thought that would be enough, but when the dumpling soup was almost cooked, Aunt Liu poured half a basin of seasoning into each pot.
After stirring it like this, it was not only greasy, but also had a fresh and fragrant smell, which made the soldiers sniff hard.
"Okay, line up and each drink half a bowl first."
Aunt Liu greeted everyone with a big spoon, and the soldiers lined up in the blink of an eye.
Only about 30,000 people were able to get a bowl, and the rest just stood aside and watched.
After all, no preparation was made before, and these more than 30,000 bowls were used by those people before.
When those people saw the brothers coming, they took the initiative to give up their bowls and let them eat first. They knew that life in the mountains was too hard, so they wanted to give them food first.
Half a bowl of dumpling soup is just two mouthfuls, but fortunately everyone got to drink a little.
Then, the next wave started eating again. This was repeated six or seven times before the soldiers' stomachs were finally filled.
Han Muchen's brows never relaxed when he saw them wolfing down their food. He also knew that they had suffered in the mountains, and he felt very bad.
According to the current time, it was not yet ten o'clock when the first pot of dumpling soup was cooked, and it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon when everyone finished eating.
The meal lasted nearly four hours. Looking at the pile of empty flour bags in front of her, Aunt Liu's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
It's because more people means more food. If it were normal food, this much noodles would be enough for them to eat for several days, but now they eat it all in one meal.
After finally having a delicious meal, the soldiers lay down in the square contentedly.
Just as I was about to lie down for a nap, Han Muchen's low voice rang out.
"Now that you're full, let's go back where we came from!"
Although I don't want them to leave, I have to recognize the current situation and it is not the time to let them come back.
“………………”Everyone looked at each other.
The excitement that lasted for a whole afternoon suddenly collapsed.
Everyone looked at each other, and saw frustration in each other's eyes.
The prince has spoken, and they dare not disobey. It seems that they have to go back today.
The scene of thousands of people who were originally talking and laughing suddenly became silent, and no one spoke.
"Master!" Feng Yi looked at his master for help.
She wanted to say something more, but after meeting the man's cold gaze, she immediately shut up.
Han Muchen glanced at Feng Yi coldly and was about to turn around and go back to the tent when a figure flew over from a distance.
"Report...enemy! Approximately 60,000 troops from Chuxiong are approaching the border!"
“………………”Everyone was shocked.
He looked depressed just now, but after hearing the words of the messenger, he immediately became alert.
Qin Chuchu was also confused.
“………………”
What's going on? Why am I so confused?
“…………”Han Muchen narrowed his eyes slightly.
He stared straight at the person who came, his tone was colder than ever before.
"How long will it take to arrive?"
"Your Highness, it will take about half an hour."
“………………”Han Muchen didn’t say anything.
But his eyes were fixed on the direction of the distant mountains.
“………………”
The Chuxiong people are ready to make a move again!
