I farmed in ancient times

It was night, and the campfire was brightly lit.

Caught in the middle of a group of brawny men who smelled of sweat, Jue Ming gently turned over, closed his eyes and forced himself to think of something else to divert his attention.

The sleeping person began to grind his teeth, and the sound was buzzing, like a big saw stabbing wood, or like the scene of a house being built.

Reluctantly opening his eyes, Jue Ming sat up and pushed the boy grinding his teeth beside him, the boy smacked his lips and fell into a dreamland.

The structure of human beings is really strange. They are all teeth. Why do some people grind their teeth so penetratingly?

Jueming tried to grind his upper and lower teeth, but he couldn't make a loud noise from the young man beside him.

The camp gradually became quiet, except for the sound of armor rubbing and campfire crackling.

Cassia lay down sideways.Not long after the grinding of teeth fell, the snoring started again.

Scratching his head in annoyance, Jue Ming stretched out his hands to cover his ears, thinking a lot in his head, his breathing fluctuated with the sound of snoring, and finally fell asleep slowly.

The next morning they had to get up for training. Cassia belonged to the infantry battalion, the unit with the highest casualties and the most mobile.

After receiving the short spears, Jue Ming followed Yu Wen and lined up to go to the school field. The area of ​​the school field was not enough for thousands of people to practice at the same time. Each battalion lined up in order. Before it was the turn of Jue Ming, the battalion had to run around the school field a few times.

Caesar tightly tied the cloth strips on his feet, and ran painfully in the team. When his feet were good, he could climb several mountains in one breath in Damo Township. Dancing on the edge.

If you fall behind, no one will say anything, but everyone understands a truth: being kind to the present self is cruel to the future self.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one can guarantee that they can retreat safely after each battle. The harder you train now, the higher your survival rate will be in the future.

Everyone did not relax, keeping up with the rhythm of the team. Outside the school field made of compacted loess, the dust was flying, and Jueming gritted his teeth to keep up with the team's running pace.

After running five laps, the back of his clothes was soaked with sweat, strands of wet hair on his sideburns were sticking to his face, and Jueming put his hands behind his ears, tightly holding the short spear in his hand.

There are many kinds of weapons in the barracks. The longest spear can reach six or seven meters. The short spear carried by Cassia Ming is only more than two meters long. Although it is short, it is powerful and flexible.

Besides, choosing a short spear is just another choice. Cassia can also bow and arrow, but he didn't show it.

Someone stood on the stage in the school grounds to demonstrate the moves himself, and everyone in the audience followed suit earnestly, waving the weapons in their hands one by one.

Every time I wave, I do my best.

After the training, Cassia trotted down his spear and went back to help with the cooking.

There is an iron pot in the camp, which saves a lot of trouble for cooking, but for some reason, the rice and vegetables here are not very fresh, so they can only be filled with water so as not to spoil the stomach.

After the autumn harvest, the new rice will be on the market, and it should be better.

Throughout the year, there is always no shortage of lettuce to eat. Jueming picked off a section of lettuce and tasted it. This kind of lettuce should be made from the vegetables that flowed out from the Shiwen Grain Shop. It has less bitterness and more sweetness.

There are no other seasonings except salt. If you want to make the dishes more delicious, you can only work hard on the heat.Jueming threw the washed lettuce into the pot, and licked the bottom of the pot with the tongue of fire, almost burning the pot. When the oil was heated up, the special large frying spoon was turned up and down, and the lettuce was covered with a layer of oil from the emerald green in a few strokes. Slightly transparent.

Sprinkle with salt, stir-fry evenly, and a one-pot dish is ready.

The weather was hot, and it was so close to an open flame. After frying ten pots of lettuce, beads of sweat appeared on Jueming's forehead and nose, and he wiped them off with his sleeve. In, and then fry the next pot.

It's fine in the morning, but I have to chop and cook vegetables at noon. At the end of the day, my whole arm is stiff and sore.

No wonder Yu Wen said that he could eat enough here, but he was a little tired.

After finishing dinner, Caesar sat on the edge of Datong's shop and took off his shoes.

The blisters on the soles of the feet are soaked white with sweat. There is no medicine here, so we can only touch them. When the blisters get better on their own, the blisters on the soles of the feet will grow.

The teeth-grinding boy came in from outside the tent and saw Jueming sitting on the side. He smiled and took his things while asking, "Brother Kai? Are you going to take a bath by the river?"

Caesar stared at his feet, moved his toes, and the pain from the wound stretched from the tailbone to the spine, Cassia felt bitter.

No matter how painful your feet are, you still need to take a shower, Caesar asked, "Where is it?"

The teeth-grinding boy said, "It's not far, just under the mountain behind the camp."

"Let's go!" Wrapping the cloth around his feet, Jue Ming took a change of clothes and put them on his shoulders, and limped along with the teeth grinding boy.

There is indeed a mountain with a gentle slope not far from the camp. The trees on the mountain are lush and green, and the river below the mountain is rippling.

On both sides of the river, there were reeds and thatch a person's height growing in the untended places. When the teeth-grinding boy went to the river, he took off his clothes and threw them, and slid into the river as soon as he touched the water.

There were quite a few people in the river, and there were people going down the river one after another, bustling like a market.

It's the same as taking a bath in a large public bath!Unable to accept it, Caesar hugged his clothes and moved a little farther, pushed aside the reeds, tore a few and let them fall down, took off his short robe and camel trousers in the reeds, kicked off his boots and went into the water.

The bottom of the river was full of fine sand and some black mud, and there were few stones. Cassia bent down, tore off the cloth wrapped around his feet, washed in the river, and then washed his arms.

The warm water of the river, which has been exposed to the sun for a day, is very comfortable to soak in. Cassia raised his arms and sailed at sea for three years. As long as the skin was exposed, it was all tanned. Recognize myself as Guo Kai—Guo Kai is also dark-skinned.

Cassia is prone to tanning and whitening easily. After staying in the military camp for a few days, her skin has changed from wheat yellow to light yellow.

It was getting dark, and the sound of laughing and playing in the distance gradually died down. Jueming picked up the water to wash his hair, and suddenly heard a sound of water being stirred, and someone was walking against the water.

"Deputy Commander... There are fewer people and more insects over there, so it's better to wash here directly."

"That's right, let's wash together."

—Someone is coming?

Caesar hurriedly rubbed his hair a couple of times and went ashore, carrying his clothes into the reeds.

Deputy Commander Li, who was wading over the water, only saw a piece of big white leg, and murmured in his heart: How can soldiers raise thin skin and tender meat, how can they go to the battlefield, and replied: "This side is very good, you can wash it. "

Cassia dressed at a distance, let her hair down and walked downstream.

The commander is in charge of 500 people, and the deputy commander is a moderate officer, so it is better to avoid it.

I washed my clothes downstream and waited for my hair to dry. When I got back to the tent, the teeth-grinding boy had already fallen asleep. Caesar hung the clothes to dry, and lay next to him on the hard-board bunk, closing his eyes.

"Squeaky-"

Caesar closed his eyes, and calmly pinched the teeth-grinding boy's chin. The teeth-grinding boy couldn't touch his upper and lower teeth, so he moved a few times in mid-air, and stopped.

Caesar put down his hand, and amidst the constant snoring, stepped on the points and followed his breath, and slowly fell asleep.

The blisters on the soles of the feet gradually fell off, and a callus was formed on the original place.

With intense training and cooking, Cassia fell asleep every day when he went back home, and his ears automatically blocked the sound of grinding his teeth.

On this day, Yu Wen asked someone to carry half a pig and a few chickens, with enough seasonings, and said: "Today, the commanders of the five battalions are coming over, and the lunch at noon should be more beautiful!"

The cooks said yes, and after Wen left, the teeth-molar guy came over and said with a smile, "Brother Kai! I'll see you at noon today!"

Several other people echoed, although Jueming came late, but the rice was the most delicious one, the same salt and vegetables, the taste he fried was much better than others, let him cook!

"Okay, I'll try my best." Caesar didn't refuse, the boy who grinded his teeth patted Cassia on the shoulder, "Brother Kai is the best!"

After finishing speaking, he carried the pork to wash the meat.

Several other people also went to prepare the ingredients in a very decent way, and asked Jue Ming to take a break first.

Caesar took a look at the seasonings brought by Yu Wen, coarse salt, pepper star anise and ginger, and some rare spices commonly used in marinade.

It was the first time for Jueming to see such a complete set of seasonings since he entered the barracks in a daze.Divide the seasoning by hand, wash and chop the whole chicken, roll it in the pot to remove the blood, stir-fry the spices, pour in the chicken pieces, put it in the pot and simmer slowly.

The fire next to the iron pot can't be idle either. Take a whole chicken and cut a few mouths, put it on the side of the pot and roast it while sprinkling seasonings.

After the teeth-molar guy washes the meat, Caesar uses a knife to separate the pork, pork belly to make glutinous rice meatballs, pork ribs braised in soy sauce, and spine sauce to stir-fry.

There is also tenderloin here. Caesar made a bowl of sweet and sour sauce, patted the tenderloin with the back of a knife and cut into strips, wrapped in egg liquid and flour and fried for a while, the sweet and sour sauce was baked into a sticky, sweet and sour taste Immediately stir from the pot.

A few people around took a breath and praised: "Xiao Kai's cooking is extraordinary."

The teeth-grinding boy approached and asked, "Did Brother Kai used to be a chef?"

Cassia shook his head, wiped the sweat from his brow with his sleeve, the meat dish was fried, the chicken was stewed, and then two pots of cold dishes were ready to call it a day.

Blanch lotus root slices, add shredded ginger and garlic, vinegar, salt and sesame oil, and the same goes for cucumbers.

When the dishes were ready, someone came over there immediately, and Caesar heaved a sigh of relief, so he washed his face with water, and went to eat the coarse rice, coarse noodles and steamed buns that belonged to the infantry.

Usually, even the commanding envoys would not have too much access to ordinary soldiers for meals, and some even ate and lived with them. Today, the other battalions came to "inspect and train", and the third battalion must bring out something that can be put on the stage to entertain them.

The commanders of several battalions sat around the table under the tent of the third battalion, and they could smell the fragrance of vegetables from a distance. When the dishes were served, a dozen strong men were not polite, and picked up their chopsticks to pick up vegetables and eat .

One of them ate glutinous rice meatballs, snorted, and said, "Old Chen, your Sanying is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and there are people who cook such delicious food, no wonder Sanying is playing with spears today. .”

"That's right, Commander Chen, if you have treasures, you can't just keep them by yourself. How about borrowing a few days from our Fifth Battalion?"

"Go, go, we haven't opened our mouths in the first battalion yet, so you're too embarrassed..."

Several people were eating and talking at the dinner table. Deputy Commander Li silently swept the vegetables with chopsticks. When he ate the chicken, he felt the taste was inexplicably familiar.

—It tastes like what he made.

The commander of the first battalion asked persistently: "Who is the cook? Did he work as a chef before? How about borrowing a few days..."

"Eating can't stop your mouth!" Commander Chen looked helpless, his beard twitched, and ordered the people guarding outside the tent to inquire.

After a while, the soldiers came to report, and Lieutenant Commander Li pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"The name of the person in charge today is Guo Kai, a man from the countryside. He used to cook at home, not a chef."

--not him.

Li Xiurong chewed the rice in his mouth, looked at the plate with only juice left, and sighed.

——How could it be him?

Several people clamored to "borrow" Guo Kai away, but Deputy Commander Chen laughed and refused.

After seeing off the noisy brothers, Chen Du said to the person guarding the door: "Ask the person who cooks today to come up to the camp and make a small pot of rice."

The soldiers responded and trotted away.
