Chapter 46: Pungent scent

The Yun family is happy and happy here, and the village is not too bad either.

Shi Fang was old, so the guarding soldiers didn't assign him any heavy work, just moving firewood and feeding the horses.

However, the children at home came back crying.

"Dad, I have been assigned to the camp and will have to practice tomorrow. I heard people said that if a fight breaks out then, I will go to the battlefield." Shi Fang's youngest son cried.

Going to the battlefield is almost like losing his life to him.

"Stop crying, we are still far away from the barbarians."

"It's not like you've never beaten a barbarian before. What are you afraid of? Killing a barbarian is a great opportunity to make military exploits. If you are so greedy for life and afraid of death, don't say you are a child of my Shi family." Shi Fang said with a cold face.

"Grandpa, I'm not afraid, I want to kill the barbarians..." A childish voice sounded, and he also burped.

Shi Fang saw that his grandson was almost as tall as his father.

"Tell me, why did you want to kill the barbarians?" Shi Fang softened his tone and tried to encourage the younger members of the family.

"The barbarians can eat enough." The child's voice sounded hesitantly.

Shi Fang felt relieved a lot.

"Much more promising than your father."

"Expelling the army also has its advantages. God will feed you if you farm the land. If there is a drought or flood, people will starve to death. We have almost enough food. Although we are tired from working in this camp, we are not full.

Are you sick?" Shi Fang asked.

Shi Fang's youngest son consciously closed his mouth.

After being on the run for so long, he rarely had a full meal.

It's a bit bitter, but it's really satisfying.

The people in the village had similar thoughts.

They had just escaped from the Gobi Desert and thought they were about to die of thirst when they saw the river.

He didn't carry much food with him.

It was a bit hard in the military camp, but they were all farmers who foraged in the fields and were used to living a hard life.

I don’t feel tired even if I do these tasks, which gives me more hope than running away.

As for going to the battlefield to die, although it is a knife hanging in everyone's heart, it is good to survive until the knife falls.

Before dawn the next day, everyone was awakened by the sound in the camp.

There was no time to prepare for getting up, so they hurried to their assigned places to work.

Yuntao rubbed her eyes, she didn't sleep very peacefully last night.

Sleeping on straw is far less soft than the cushions on the carriage.

There were mosquitoes in the tent, which kept buzzing in my ears. I swatted several mosquitoes to death for half the night, but the screams could not stop. No one in the tent could sleep well.

"Tao'er, wash your face and get ready." Wan Hongmei said, passing a wet cloth to Yuntao.

"I know, mother!" Yuntao wiped her face.

Wan Hongmei started passing wet wipes to Xiner again.

The people in the Yun family are quite refined, especially Wan Hongmei who works in the kitchen and holds herself to a cleaner standard.

After working like this day after day for several days, Wan Hongmei gradually adapted to life in the kitchen.

The chef in the kitchen saw her working quickly and gave her some side dishes to cook.

"Master Military Advisor said that he wants to eat tofu. The tofu should be tender and have meat in it."

"I still have a lot of dishes to cook, does anyone want to try them?" Master Li, who was in charge of the kitchen, asked.

After saying that, he looked at the crowd, hoping to see someone standing out.

Everyone looked at me and others, but no one stood up.

Wan Hongmei had just finished frying the cabbage and took a step forward with a spatula.

"Master Li, I made a similar dish before, do you want me to try it?" Wan Hongmei said.

Master Li felt relieved when he saw people signing up.

"Okay, you go do it. If you do something wrong, the military advisor won't punish you. Ask Xiao Liu for any ingredients you want. She has the key to the warehouse..."

"Let everyone else go about their business."

Wan Hongmei had just accepted the job when she heard a sinister voice coming from her ear.

"You really treat yourself like a piece of cake. You dare to cook any dish." A man's voice sounded.

Listening to this tone, Wan Hongmei knew who it was even without raising her head.

Cooking is her job and her responsibility.

Besides, this meal is for the military advisor. If the military advisor eats it and goes to fight the barbarians, she is doing her part for the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty.

After receiving the ingredients, Wan Hongmei started cooking.

When she heard Master Li's request, the first thing that came to her mind was Mapo Tofu.

The authentic Mapo Tofu contains beef. Although it is minced meat, it meets all the requirements of the military counselor.

Wan Hongmei didn't know if there was Mapo Tofu in Dajin, but she encountered a problem first.

There is no bean paste, beef, or chili.

But just have pork.

Wan Hongmei first chopped some green onions and fried them in a pot. After the oil absorbed the aroma of the green onions, she took them out and threw them away.

Then stir-fry the minced ginger and garlic. After the fragrance becomes fragrant, she adds some dogwood and then pork.

When all the flavors in the pot blend together, it's time to add the tofu.

After the tofu is cooked, add various seasonings, sprinkle a small handful of peppercorns and minced green onions, drizzle with hot oil, and the dish is ready.

Wan Hongmei's tofu dish was cooked quickly, and the flavor was great during cooking, which attracted the attention of many people around her.

"I'm done, it's time to serve." Wan Hongmei said as she took out her mapo tofu.

Although there are many chefs in the kitchen, because the stove must be built on the outermost area to diffuse smoke and ventilate, and most of the pots are concave and far apart, everyone has to take care of the dishes in their own pots and cannot see everything.

The contents of the red plum pot.

The smell over there is so pungent, it feels like there are ants crawling in my heart

When the food was served, they glanced at it and it looked like soup.

I wanted to ask, but I couldn't bear to ask, so I had to hold it in.

Wan Hongmei didn't know that the tofu she made had aroused so much curiosity among the people around her. She washed the pot with bamboo strips and started frying the green vegetables that Master Li had assigned to her.

Yuntao was sitting on the stove lighting the fire when she suddenly smelled a pungent and familiar fragrance.

When I looked up, I saw that the chef responsible for delivering food was walking out carrying a wooden food box.

These days, she sat at the door of the stove and smelled it for a long time. The aroma of Dajin's vegetables was fragrant, but it was not particularly irritating, for example, it was as irritating as adding chili pepper.

Yuntao looked at the person walking away with the food box, and thought to herself, is this a dish made by her mother?

Qin Sheng ate with Wei Yuanting every day, and the army surrounded him when he came in and out.

In recent days, it has been getting hotter and hotter, and I have no appetite for food.

He randomly ordered some of his favorite foods and asked the kitchen to prepare them.

As soon as the lid of the food box in the kitchen was opened, Qin Sheng smelled a strong aroma.

"What smell is so strong?" Qin Sheng looked surprised for a moment and looked at the source of the smell with interest.
