Volume 1 First Entering the Tang Dynasty Chapter 18 A Bowl of Soup Cake
"I don't mind General Meng coming with us, but will the commander let him go?" Lu Chen didn't refuse Meng Ji. After all, he was driving one sheep, herding two sheep, and even Fang Qi's fifty people didn't care.
There would be one more Meng Ji, not to mention that Meng Ji was very brave, so it would be beneficial to take him with him. However, Lu Chen didn't know if this Meng Ji was going to follow him to assassinate Liu Heitai, and whether Li Xiuning agreed or not.
"As long as the military advisor agrees, the commander-in-chief will report it himself!" Meng Ji believed that as long as he told Li Xiuning that he wanted to protect Lu Chen, Li Xiuning would definitely agree. After all, Li Xiuning now valued Lu Chen more than anything else.
What's more, the most powerful general under Li Xiuning is He Panren, who has been with him since he started his career. He is the deputy general of the Chinese army after Ye Zhu and Lu Qiuming. He is the governor of military affairs and has a high position of power.
"On the premise of obtaining the consent of the commander-in-chief, I will not refuse General Meng to accompany him!" Lu Chen said what he meant, that is, if he wants to follow him, he must first obtain Li Xiuning's consent.
"Okay, I will take my leave now and go to report to the commander-in-chief!" Seeing that Lu Chen did not refuse him, Meng Ji immediately stood up and happily went to report to Li Xiuning.
Fang Qi took a deep look at the back of Meng Ji who was leaving.
"Have Captain Fang had breakfast?" Lu Chen looked at Fang Qi who turned around and asked with a smile.
"Already eaten!" Fang Qi said quickly, but when he raised his nose and smelled it, he found that it was also soup cake. Lu Chen's soup cake was obviously much more fragrant, and he couldn't help but lick his lips.
"I made some more this morning. Come here, bring a bowl of soup cakes to Captain Fang!" Lu Chen called to the soldiers standing guard outside.
This soup cake was made by Lu Chen in the kitchen in the morning. There was really a lack of seasoning in the Tang Dynasty. Lu Chen was not picky about food. After all, he had never encountered any conditions when he was on a mission in his previous life. Sometimes he had to eat worms and raw meat.
, but now that he has the conditions, Lu Chen can't abuse himself. If he hadn't been really hungry yesterday, Lu Chen might not have been so happy eating the Tang Dynasty food.
Although Lu Chen was a special operations captain in his previous life, he also had vacations. During vacations, Lu Chen was a very refined person. Therefore, during vacations, his teammates liked to have dinner at his house. Isn't that because
Lu Chen is good at his craftsmanship.
Therefore, when he woke up early this morning, Lu Chen made a pot of soup cakes by himself. This soup cake was what later generations would call noodle soup, but the seasoning was brought by Lu Chen from the base, and with some green onion and coriander, the taste was seductive.
Several soldiers standing guard were drooling.
Normally, these soldiers did not eat breakfast. In the Tang Dynasty, ordinary people had two meals a day, lunch and dinner. Only wealthy families had three meals a day. As for the royal relatives, they had four meals a day.
The soldier who was suppressing his hunger could not hold back his saliva when he was seduced by the smell of Lu Chen's soup cakes. However, due to his identity, he only watched and swallowed secretly.
Lu Chen was naturally "enjoyed alone, not as happy as everyone", so he invited a few soldiers to come and eat with him. He gave each of the soldiers a large bowl of soup cakes, and the soldiers ate it very quickly. Lu Chen
Before half the bowl was eaten, several people had already finished the dishes and looked at Lu Chen eagerly.
"If you want to eat it, put it in the pot yourself!" Lu Chen looked at the eyes of several people who kept peeking at the kitchen, and laughed and cursed.
"Hey!" With Lu Chen's approval, several soldiers rushed to the kitchen, and another person filled a large bowl. It wasn't until one person had eaten three bowls that they returned to their original posts. At this time, Fang Qi and Meng Ji came together
.
"Commander, your soup cakes are much more delicious than those made by the Huotou Army!" Fang Qi couldn't stop after taking one bite. He chewed the noodles in his mouth and gave Lu Chen a thumbs up in praise.
"That's natural. This is cooked with my own secret sauce. Most people can't eat it!" Lu Chen looked at Fang Qina's eating appearance and couldn't help but feel proud. The excitement of later generations of seasonings was something that people in the Tang Dynasty could resist.
Are you staying?
In less than five minutes, Fang Qi ate a large bowl of soup cake with the bottom of the bowl upside down. However, he had almost eaten in the morning. Even if Fang Qi wanted to eat, he couldn't eat anymore. At most, he was "full but not full."
”.
"Okay! If you want to eat it, you'll have the chance to eat it later! If I have the chance, I'll make a roasted whole lamb for you to try!" Although Lu Chen still can't figure out Fang Qi's intention to follow him, he has to say what he needs to say, and if
If Fang Qi has no ill intentions, it is okay to bribe Fang Qi. After all, if you are not familiar with the place, multiple acquaintances will lead to multiple paths!
"Commander, you can't lie to me, I'm waiting for your roasted whole lamb!" Fang Qi, after eating the soup cake, looked at Lu Chen seriously and said.
"Okay! After we deal with Liu Heitai, I'll cook you a whole roasted lamb, okay?" Lu Chen thinks Fang Qi's character is quite interesting and a bit straightforward. Can such a person really plot against him? Lu Chen
Chen couldn't help but think about it. If this was Fang Qi's disguise, then Lu Chen could only say that this person's acting skills were really good.
"That's right! We're here to see you and see the action team!" As soon as he mentioned "Liu Heita", Fang Qi slapped his head, then remembered what he was here for, and immediately dragged Lu Chen to go out.
, a bowl of soup cakes directly brought Fang Qi and Lu Chen closer together, which shows how reasonable it is for later generations to say that "the wine table is the best place to get closer".
Lu Chen signaled the soldiers to put away the dishes and chopsticks, and followed Fang Qi to the courtyard gate. As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, he saw Meng Jizheng striding towards this direction.
"Commander, are you going out?" Meng Ji shouted loudly from about ten steps away, and at the same time he quickly came to Lu Chen.
"Well, let's go and see the soldiers selected by Captain Fang!" Lu Chen nodded at Meng Ji, "I rushed back here in a hurry. Did the commander agree?" Lu Chen asked.
"Well! I told the commander-in-chief and he agreed!" Meng Ji said in a rough voice.
"Okay, let's go and see it together!" Since Li Xiuning agreed, Lu Chen would not refuse and directly invited Meng Jitong to watch the soldiers.
Not long after, Lu Chen followed Fang Qi and Meng Ji out of Xiaguancheng Village. Li Xiuning had more than 100,000 troops. How could they all be nestled in Xiaguancheng Village? They were adjacent to the Mian River outside the village and spread out for several miles.
The military tent is where the army is stationed, and in a flat school field in the military camp, a team general is training dozens of people.
Lu Chen could tell at a glance that these dozens of muscular men training shirtless should be the "action team" that Fang Qi had prepared for him.
