Chapter 172: Prepare for a Rainy Day
Captain Luo was enjoying the meal he cooked, but when Song Liyun arrived, he put down his bowl and asked Song Liyun to cook.
For a cook, this was like a slap in the face.
Huotoubing was an elderly veteran. The Song family usually delivered food to the garrison and had a good relationship with him.
He also liked the honest and simple-minded Song Zhenping, as well as the bold and capable Song Liyun, but he still couldn't stand the idea of having his job destroyed in front of others.
But it was Captain Luo who said it, and he couldn't get angry with Song Liyun. He could only hold it in and wait to see what the girl from the Song family would do.
But when he saw that Song Liyun was making a dish that couldn't be more ordinary, the cook got furious.
He also makes this dish every day. The process is similar to Song Liyun's, except that he doesn't stir-fry the sauerkraut in advance and doesn't use as much pork.
There is no need to be so particular about the big pot meal.
As the soup in the pot boiled, a rich sour aroma emerged. Song Liyun put the softened vermicelli into the soup and added salt to enhance the flavor.
When the cook was not paying attention, some gray-brown powder also fell into the pot.
When the vermicelli is stewed until it is soft, the pork and sauerkraut vermicelli stew is ready to be served.
A special aroma filled the kitchen, and the fireman's throat gurgled and saliva flowed down his throat.
The sauerkraut in the jar was pickled by him personally. He has been eating sauerkraut for most of his life, but he has never smelled such a strong flavor.
As soon as Song Liyun left with a large bowl of sauerkraut and vermicelli, the fireman quickly put the remaining spoonful of soup and sauerkraut in the pot into a bowl and drank a sip without waiting for it to cool down.
The fireman's eyes widened almost popping out: This soup is so delicious!
It was a feeling he had never had before, and it was even comparable to the old chicken and wild mushroom soup.
But, I clearly saw Song Liyun put in just a spoonful of water, so how did it become this thick soup?
The cook was suddenly confused!
Song Liyun didn't look at what the fireman was thinking in the kitchen.
MSG made from ground kelp powder is added to the soup. For people who don’t eat any other seasonings except onions, ginger, garlic and sauces, the taste is simply amazing!
In Captain Luo's office, there was not only the quartermaster Wang Zhong, but also Zhao Tingduo.
When Song Liyun and Yuncai came in and saw him, she was stunned for a moment and then relieved: what she thought was right, he was the undercover agent of the guard station.
Captain Luo was talking to the two of them enthusiastically, but when he saw Song Liyun come in, he quickly stopped and said, "Come on, Brother Zhong, Third... Third brother, come and have some more. This is made by Miss Song herself."
Zhao Tingduo has been eating at the Song family these days, so she naturally knows that the food at the Song family tastes quite good.
Besides, he was still a private, so he politely declined and didn't go to the table.
Wang Zhong didn't care about that. He picked up his chopsticks and said to Song Liyun, "Get me a steamed bun."
Song Liyun quickly became a maid and served them tea and meals.
Captain Luo smacked his lips while eating vermicelli noodles, his face beaming with joy: "Song's cooking skills are really good, I still don't believe it even though you tell me every day.
Song girl, why don't you open a restaurant? Suijin Town should have some new things to offer."
When Song Liyun heard this, her brows raised: "Master, opening a restaurant requires peace first.
Is it possible that the government office will no longer investigate the Suijin Town incident?"
The people in Tianxiang Tower were beaten and sent away, and they had to report to the government office.
This is a big case.
According to the fastest handling procedure for a criminal case, it is probably time to go to Suijin Town to inquire about the case.
Captain Luo slurred his mouthful of powder and said vaguely, "The garrison's affairs are not theirs to decide. In Suijin Town, I, Luo Lun, still have the final say.
It’s just that the Tianxiang Tower was sealed, and Hong Jingtian couldn’t find it.
I'm not afraid of people stealing, I'm afraid of people thinking about it, so everyone in your family should be more careful in the future."
Song Liyun understood what Captain Luo meant and knew that this matter would not be resolved easily.
Mr. Hong’s Tianxianglou in Qili County was sealed off. This was a business he had run for decades, but one wrong step and everything was reduced to zero.
There is no doubt that he will hold a grudge against the Song family.
Song Liyun felt that she was being wronged. If she had known that it would cause so much trouble, she would not have gone to Tianxianglou to eat grilled lamb chops.
But what happened has already happened, and I can't go back to life. I can only be more careful next time.
Fortunately, Song Liyun had already considered that she did not plan to ask Song Zhenping to go out when selling furs again.
He and Xiao An only need to take care of the family business from now on. There is not much risk in living in the town.
Song Liyun's tense expression gradually softened. "Don't worry, Captain. I'll make arrangements for my family. If the people from Tianxiang Tower didn't succeed the first time, there won't be a second time."
Most people couldn't handle this kind of thing, so Captain Luo deliberately chose to talk about it at the dinner table to make the atmosphere more relaxed.
Seeing that Song Liyun looked unhappy but not panicked, he couldn't help but look up to her a little more.
There are many women who are bold and capable in doing things, and many who are good at martial arts, but not many who can remain calm and make decisions when faced with major events.
Song Liyun's performance was very much to his liking.
In Captain Luo's impression, he only admired Madam Uya for her ability to remain calm in the face of major events.
Seeking help from the border generals of the Wu Dynasty, he not only gave up the wealth and splendor of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and returned to the grassland, but also occupied the grassland with abundant water and grass, and expanded the Wuda tribe into a large tribe.
Although the Third Young Master’s military prowess is indispensable, Madam Uya’s planning and ability to stabilize the people’s hearts are even more needed.
The news from the grassland has now spread throughout the Zhenbei Army. The Wuda tribe has gained the upper hand in the conflict. These veterans admire Madam Wuya very much.
The admiration for the strong does not distinguish between men and women, especially since Loren has met Madam Wuya, the feeling is even deeper.
Madam Wu Ya was one in a million, and the Song Liyun in front of her had some of Madam Wu Ya's past resemblance.
She took the initiative to join the military household with her two brothers, doing business, selling furs, and now she is running a cardboard box shop, which is very safe and thoughtful.
Military households are not under the jurisdiction of the government.
Anyway, the Broken Gold Guards are going to fight the government. If I train Song Liyun vigorously and snatch half of Qili County's business...
Moreover, the adults at the Hecheng Command Post also said that a percentage of the military households’ taxes would be collected and given to the various garrisons.
He is not after money. If Song Liyun can achieve one tenth of Madam Wu Ya's achievements in the future, he, as a centurion, will be satisfied.
Seeing that Song Liyun was not panicked, Luo Lun told her the whole story of the reaction of the Qili County Government.
After Manager Mi and Tax Collector Sun were sent back to the Qili County Government Office, they caused an uproar in the city.
There has been no county magistrate in Qili County Government until now. The highest official is the chief clerk, who can perform the duties of the county magistrate and the county magistrate when they are not present.
He could handle small matters as the chief clerk, but he did not hesitate for a moment for such a big matter.
They could only seal off Tianxiang Tower immediately based on the confession, and then report to the Pingyang government office to push the case aside.
The matter concerned the Zhenbei Army Guard. After ten days of procrastination, the government office did not accept the case but instead returned the file.
Along with the files came a Tongpan (Tongpan), who was acting as the magistrate of Qili County.
