Chapter 299 Stone Beach Fort
Everyone enjoyed the meal, except Song Zhenping who was unhappy.
He had a leg injury and couldn't eat spicy food, so he ate chicken soup specially made for him.
Although there are meat and vegetables in it, it is still not as tempting as the spicy and fragrant hot pot.
He felt that these people were not here to have dinner with him, but were here deliberately to make him greedy to death.
In such cold weather, of course you need to eat something spicy.
This is the dish that Song Liyun is preparing to launch: lamb spine hotpot.
Before the end of the world, this was a famous dish that was popular in the north.
But this dish is not in Qili County.
Qili County is just an ordinary county in the north. Its financial resources are slightly better thanks to the absorption of the former glory of Suijin Town, but it cannot match the consumption level of the provincial capital.
Having a barbecue restaurant is enough to make Qili County proud, and it can even become a local brand. Adding a few outstanding dishes will instead disperse the influence.
Making it now is just to let everyone taste the delicious food in advance.
After the meal, Xiao An took Hei Jin to find the little flower dog to help digest the food.
After Madam Yun had cleared the dishes away, Song Liyun said to Song Zhenping, "Brother, Uncle Kui and I are going out for the next couple of days. I'm afraid we won't be back for several days. You should take good care of your legs and don't go out for any activities."
Song Zhenping pulled a blanket over his legs and frowned, "Where are you going? It's snowing heavily today, and it's going to snow hard soon. Don't get stuck in traffic."
He was born and raised in Yunzhou, so he had some ability to predict the weather.
It should have snowed a long time ago, but it didn't. The clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, and it was sure to be a blizzard soon.
Song Dekui was leaning on the end of the kang picking his teeth. When he heard Song Zhenping mention snow, he quickly said, "It's only two days away! It won't snow!"
"Oh, okay, then be careful when you go out!" Seeing that Uncle Kui was traveling with them, Song Zhenping did not stop him.
Now his leg has been recuperating for more than ten days, and the most worrying time has passed. With Madam Yun at home, his sister no longer has to stay at home.
It’s a pity that Uncle Han is too busy now. He is so busy that he doesn’t even have time to come back for meals every day. Otherwise, I would let Uncle Han go with me.
The Yudao that Song Dekui mentioned was a simple mountain road that was usually opened by the garrison for the convenience of walking. It was naturally difficult to walk on, and only the rough and heavy carts in the military camp could pass through it.
Song Liyun went to Captain Luo and said this: Now the Wuda tribe has lost contact with Suijin Town, and Wanjia Fur Store has asked for the goods several times. There is only one peak season for fur sales a year, so she wants to go to other garrisons and military forts to collect some furs.
In fact, Captain Luo was also anxious. Song Liyun asked him every day, but he couldn't find any words to answer.
The Mida Valley must be in a state of panic now. Captain Luo has been itching to find out and has sent out several groups of spies, but the Mida Valley is too long and there has been no reply yet.
Now Song Liyun is going to other garrisons to collect furs, which is just right for him to have some peace and quiet for a few days.
So Captain Luo arranged a mule cart, loaded with charcoal for heating and acorn vermicelli from Suijin Town, and delivered it to Shitan Fort, which was closest to Suijin Guard.
There are few people here, so food is provided by the Broken Gold Guards.
Song Dekui caught up with Baolinju's cart and loaded it with green leafy vegetables from the backyard, several boxes of dried mushrooms, and dried pickles.
Song Liyun rode on the chrysanthemum-green horse and set off with the Suijin Guard's carriage.
When Song Dekui was doing his labor service last year, he traveled this route with Lin Tao and his large convoy.
Now when I go again, I am so excited that I can't stop talking.
"The Broken Gold Guards live in the town, and their lives are quite good. You don't know that the barracks in the Stone Beach Fort ahead are much simpler, with only a few isolated stone houses, each with a large kang and ten people living there.
I heard from Boss Lin that the situation here used to be even worse. We had to eat potatoes for half a year during the winter. Fortunately, there are a few herdsmen living outside the fort, so we can still eat meat..."
The road was very difficult to walk on. The wooden wheels rolled over the gravel pits of varying sizes on the ground. The speed was slow and the road was very bumpy.
Song Dekui kept talking and almost biting his tongue several times.
Song Liyun rode leisurely on the horse, looking at the surrounding scenery.
Shitan Fort is worthy of its name, as it is built on a gravel slope and is surrounded by mountains and dense forests.
In order to prevent the Di Lu people from sneaking into the Wu Dynasty, the Zhenbei Army now has a hundred-man guard post at the intersection of the big town, and has also set up such small outposts on various mountain ridges.
To each small outpost, military rations are delivered every three days, and information can also be collected once.
If any Di Lu people enter the country, they will be discovered within three days.
Using the point to lead the whole, a network and a wall were built on the northern border of Wu Dynasty.
This method is clumsy and consumes a lot of energy, but the effect is also significant.
At least it would be difficult for the Di Lu people to sneak around and plunder farmers.
The arrival of the carts carrying supplies attracted the soldiers stationed here to run out from afar to greet them.
The leader, Xiaoqi, trotted over and said, "Lao Gao, why are you delivering the food yourself?"
In order to ensure Song Liyun's safety, the person who drove the car here personally was Xiaoqi, who took over Lin Tao's military supply team.
The coachman Gao Xiaoqi jumped off the carriage, whispered a few words to Shitanbao Xiaoqi's ear, and pointed to the carriage behind.
The flag bearer quickly glanced back, then turned back to the soldiers chasing after him and shouted, "There are girls from military households here to collect furs. All of you, get out of here and don't scare people with your loud voices."
Hearing that a girl was coming, several soldiers hurried a few steps and then stopped, standing far away, smiling with their mouths wide open and looking foolish.
It's rare to see a new face. They must be going crazy with loneliness in this desolate mountain valley.
When they found out that the girl who came was Manager Song from Tianxiang Tower, the small Shitan Fort suddenly became lively.
Everyone's face was filled with wild joy, and they surrounded Song Liyun and flattered him respectfully: "Manager Song, next time you have a big meal, you must not forget us brothers!"
Everyone still remembers the Broken Gold Guards' spending a few days eating at a restaurant in Qili County.
Now, whenever the soldiers of the Broken Gold Guards mention the name of Manager Song of Tianxiang Tower, they will think of the delicious food.
This kind of thing where the whole battalion took turns eating and drinking in the restaurant was unprecedented. Even the veterans who had been in the Zhenbei Army for decades had never seen it before.
Even though a month has passed, they are still talking about how many bowls of food they crammed into their stomachs.
The one who ate the most is still feeling proud, as if he had won a great victory.
The camp also spent a month ranking the ten generals, A, B, C, and D, based on their personal descriptions. Although there was a lot of controversy, it did not affect his own deification.
At this time, they looked at Song Liyun with a look that naturally sought praise.
Song Liyun didn't know where this sudden enthusiasm came from. It was the little flag of Shitan Fort who kicked and scolded them when he asked them to go to the cart to get fresh vegetables and dried mushrooms. He cursed: "You are all gluttons. If anyone dies of overeating, you will be engraved on the tombstone."
Song Liyun finally understood the reason and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
This was the first time Song Dekui had heard of such an interesting story, and he was beaming with joy: "Next time, I'll be the first to eat."
The fresh vegetables Song Liyun brought this time made the soldiers' eyes green with envy and they were even more happy.
