Chapter 446 The Legendary General Huo
Huo Bing had his own things to do, but Jiang Xiangdong had nothing to do as Shen Qing had arranged a full schedule for him.
He is mainly responsible for various trivial matters, all of which are time-consuming and physically demanding tasks. They are simple and not complicated, and I don't trust outsiders to do them, so it is just right for Jiang Xiangdong to do it.
Just because the other family members have work to do.
Jiang Xiangxi was in charge of transporting goods. Every day, he led people to deliver the beef and mutton processed on the farm to the hot pot shop. In addition, he also took care of all the trivial matters on the farm.
Guan Li was in charge of the accounts and the coordination with the shop owners regarding drinks, dishes, grains, oils, rice, noodles, etc.;
Jiang Xiangnan was responsible for transporting goods from the village to the outside, and then transporting cattle and sheep from Chenzhou and Heishui City;
Jiang Xiangbei was in charge of the hot pot shop—temporarily. Once the other two shops were stable, he would hand them over to the trained staff, and he would continue to explore the market in other cities.
Jiang Shui was in charge of the operation and specific matters of the soap, brush, and embroidery workshops in the village, and also took care of her two little nieces;
Jiang Xiangzhong was in charge of teaching, and he was also in charge of raising livestock and poultry, tending to the fields, and taking care of the harvest. He also worked with Jiang Shui to look after his two young nieces.
Jiang Yu was originally in charge of the chores at the farm. The hot pot restaurant's egg cakes were in short supply, so she was assigned to make them. She worked from morning till night, and after work, her arms were so sore that she couldn't even lift them.
It can be said that everyone has multiple roles and is clearly assigned.
Shen Qing herself was not idle either. She was responsible for the overall control. Just like a military advisor who did not go to the battlefield, although she was outside the battlefield, everything on the battlefield was under her control.
On the day when the spicy hotpot opened, everyone got up early and went to the shop.
Huo Bing followed Shen Qing in the carriage early in the morning and asked nervously, "Mom, what should I do later? Please assign me some things to do. I've been idle these two days anyway, so a little work won't hurt me."
She would rather work. She was the one with the best physique at home. Now that she had gone on a long trip and knew that the Huo family focused on training her and had high hopes for her, everyone seemed to be afraid that she would be tired and did not let her do any work.
But she felt even more uncomfortable sitting around doing nothing. Even if she could only stay at home for a few days, she wanted to do the same things as them.
"You'll be busy later, so don't rush to work these few days. Let your body rest and recover for a few days.
Besides, your family is coming today, so you have to accompany them?" Shen Qing said with a smile.
Jiang Yu followed up and agreed: "Sister-in-law is right, Ah Bing, don't be nervous, we have the experience of opening the shop last time, so we are much more skilled this time;
You can just watch from the side for a while, and when your family comes, treat them well. They are honored guests and cannot be neglected."
No matter when the daughter-in-law's family comes, they are all honored guests. If they are not treated well, it means that they are not satisfied with the daughter-in-law and are not giving her face. The Huo family and A Bing are all good people, but there are a lot of things to do on the opening day, and it is very likely that they will not be able to take care of them in the rush. With A Bing accompanying them throughout the whole process, it will not be rude at all.
Huo Bing said indifferently, "My grandparents are very kind and won't take such a small matter to heart. I'm afraid they will cause trouble for us if they come."
Shen Qingjiangyu was shocked and asked in unison, "Is your grandfather coming too?"
That was General Huo, a man known to everyone in the entire Jing Dynasty. Even if they had no idea of his illustrious military exploits in the village, after arriving in the capital, they had already gained a clear understanding of him through repeated discussions and discussions!
"Weren't it just your uncle and mother who came here before?"
Huo Bing nodded. "My grandfather sent me a message yesterday saying he's been feeling better these past two days, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to come out. He also seems very interested in this Bashu Spicy Hot Pot, so he told me to give you a heads up so you won't be too shocked when we meet."
She was also told not to let anyone make preparations in advance to avoid unnecessary trouble, so she chose this time to arrange everything and wait to welcome the guests in.
Shen Qing: .....This old man is too approachable.
He really doesn't regard himself as a high-ranking general.
She had to consider her health when going out, which meant that the extent of her physical injuries was much greater than she thought. But it was also true that Huo Qinglin's grandmother and two brothers were exiled on the road, and the arms and legs of the eldest and third brothers were broken on the road. Men in their prime died or were disabled, not to mention the young grandchildren.
According to Xiangdong, almost 70 to 80 percent of the children were killed or injured. It was also at that time that Huo Qinglin risked his life to send Ah Bing out. The entire young generation of the Huo family was almost wiped out.
For the Huo family, exile is no different from purgatory. General Huo has been in a high position for many years and has a strong character. His wife, children and the elderly have died or become disabled. How could this not be a big blow to him?
Xiangdong said that he had been targeted a lot along the way because of his strength, and his body was worn down at that time. When he arrived at the place of exile, fortunately the local Bashu people were simple and honest. Not only did they not take the opportunity to make things difficult for him, but they also took good care of all the Huo family members, allowing them to recuperate without making things worse.
However, the terrain of Bashu is rugged, with many mountains, rocks and forests, and little arable land, let alone good farmland. The local people live a very difficult life, and they can only survive by taking care of each other.
Thinking of this, Shen Qing began to understand why General Huo was willing to come out and try the spicy hot pot despite his illness.
It’s not for food, but for the word Bashu.
Jiang Yu was not nervous at first, but he became a little nervous after hearing that General Huo was coming.
When we arrived in front of the shop and told them about this matter, everyone waiting there was a little nervous, but my family members were also a little nervous, while the guys were nervous but also excited!
Their eyes were bright and dark, and they couldn't help but ask, "General Huo is coming over? Is that true?"
"Can we meet him then? I really want to meet the man my parents have been talking about."
"When I get home after the New Year, I'll tell Grandpa and Dad that I met General Huo. I guarantee they'll be happier than seeing me!"
"We didn't know the Huo family had returned to the capital before we were in Blackwater City. That's great! My grandparents have mentioned it many times. When I go back and tell them, they'll definitely think I've made a name for myself in the capital, to the point where they even know this news."
......
Everyone just remembered that these people were all citizens of Blackwater City!
They are more familiar than anyone else with the Huo family army that has been stationed there for many years, and they probably admire General Huo from the bottom of their hearts.
Judging from the duration of the Huo family’s exile and their age, General Huo’s glorious deeds must have been learned from his grandparents.
However, it indirectly proves that the Huo family army is indeed very good, otherwise people would not be excited or happy after hearing it, but would grit their teeth.
Shen Qing also felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart, wanting to meet the legendary General Huo!
