The squad leader picked up a square wooden tray from the side; it had some compartments inside.
"General Han, please feel free to eat here."
I heard that Lord Murong of the Ministry of Rites made special arrangements to ensure that the soldiers of Yue Kingdom were fed well.
But Qi Yuan rejected it outright.
"Ha, wouldn't it be better to use that money to give our own soldiers a better meal?"

Next came pork and sauerkraut stew with glass noodles, braised pork with potatoes, and finally, in the last big bucket, was egg drop soup.
At the end of the counter were several small basins containing vinegar and pickled vegetables.

"It's called 'spicy,' it goes especially well with rice, and it's perfect for this cold winter month."
The squad leader scooped up a spoonful of bright red chili peppers and piled them onto Han Qi's tray.
