Chapter 699: outrageous
Chapter 699 is outrageous
"Then you take a shower first, I'm warming up the food, and it's ready to eat!" Xi Yao arranged to say.
Zhou Rong is also a hurry. Seeing that his whole body is dirty, he doesn't want to eat like this, especially since this is not a military camp where food is robbed, he nodded and agreed.
The man takes a shower, it will take a while, and when he is done, Xi Yao just put all the things in place.
"Eat first!" Xi Yao handed him the chopsticks.
Zhou Rong was really hungry. After seeing the shiny dishes on the table, he couldn't help but start eating. The way he grabbed food was completely different from eating Svenly before, and it scared Zhou Li directly. .
I felt that he had met a fake uncle, so he was very confused, should he tell his grandma.
"Slow down." Seeing that he was in a hurry to eat, Xi Yao felt distressed. He put down his chopsticks and helped to remove the bones of the pig's feet, and then put the pork's feet in his bowl...
After eating two bowls of rice with countless meat and vegetables, Zhou Rong slowed down, then looked at Xi Yao and said aggrievedly, "I haven't eaten meat for a long time!"
He is really hungry.
"Didn't you deliver a pig yesterday?"
Zhou Rong took a mouthful of meat with a depressed expression and muttered: "There are so many people, one pig, ten pigs are not enough, and there are many injured people today, so the general asked Lao Xu to make up the meat for the injured people. Make up, I didn't eat much at noon, and I was busy for another afternoon, and now I'm starving!"
Xi Yao put a chopstick of dried plums and oily pork belly in his bowl, frowned and said, "Is there a shortage of food in the military camp?"
If he was full, Zhou Rong would not be like this.
Since they got married, although they were poor, they soon eased.
It can be said that Zhou Rong has never lost any money...
This time, it was a terrible toss.
"Short!" Zhou Rong paused for a moment, then said helplessly: "Right now, all you have to eat is coarse grains, and there is no meat or fishy food. The ordinary people can't stand this, let alone the soldiers who go to war!"
"The food for the Li family should be ready to be delivered!?" she said.
"Alas!" Zhou Rong sighed and said, "The Li family thinks so, but so much food is harvested, polished, dried, transported...all need people. If all of them are hired, the Li family's business will lose money. If we lose, we can only come step by step, and when the food arrives at the barracks, I’m afraid we will have to wait!”
Xi Yao opened his mouth, not expecting things to be so complicated.
"That means, the Li family can only eat coarse grains in the barracks before the food arrives?"
Zhou Rong nodded and said, "Yes, this was specially obtained by the imperial court, otherwise, there would be no coarse grains!"
Xi Yao only felt his mouth wide open.
"This is too outrageous?"
"It's not the court's intention. In short, it's too weak to work hard. Over the years, the people have been short of food and clothing, and the people have not eaten enough. The soldiers are also hungry to fight the Nanliang Kingdom!" Zhou Rong said this, his tone was heavy. Many feel that the meat in the mouth is not fragrant.
Xi Yao was full of anger and couldn't help but said angrily: "The court doesn't do anything, you all work hard!"
Under Zhou Rong's puzzled and Zhou Li's curious eyes, she pointed to the back mountain and said: "There is a lot to eat in the mountains, even if there is a war, it is impossible for everyone to go to the battlefield. Clean up the things in the mountains, and make a way out by the way, even if it is a snake, it is a good thing!"
"That's right," Xi Yao thought of something, suddenly exclaimed, got up, and said excitedly: "Seafood, Zhou Rong, let Lao Yu get seafood, this is also fishy!"
