The little cutie kept twitching the tip of her nose, sniffing the increasingly rich fragrance, and walked lightly into the shanty in front of her.
Under the tall shack, several Huotou Army soldiers were filling dry firewood into the steaming stove. They were startled subconsciously when they saw the little cutie walking into the shack silently.
After reacting, several soldiers suddenly stood up straight, holding the firewood in their hands and staring cautiously at the uninvited little cutie.
"Who are you? Who asked you to come to Huotou Camp?"
Before the little cutie could speak, Duan Dingbang, who had already followed the shanty, hurriedly opened his mouth to explain to the little cutie.
"Brothers, there is no need to be nervous. This general and the generals next to me are all here with me."
"Let's see the commander-in-chief."
"A few brothers are exempt from the gift."
"Thank you, Marshal."
The little cutie looked at the seven or eight layers of cages in front of her, raised her hand and waved the fragrant water mist around the cage to her nose.
The little cutie took a deep breath while smelling the mouth-watering aroma, and couldn't help but swallow a few times.
"Mmm, it smells so good!"
The little cutie sighed softly, and suddenly turned his head to look at the several Fire-headed Army soldiers beside him.
"Brothers, the steamed dish in the steamer is braised pork with pickled vegetables?"
One of the older soldiers heard the little cutie's question and immediately gave the cutie a fist and saluted.
"Back to the general, what's steaming in the steamer now is braised pork with pickled vegetables.
General, you have a really good nose, you just casually sniffed a few times and you guessed what was inside the cage."
The little cutie's eyes suddenly lit up, and she silently licked her lips as she looked at the somewhat embarrassed soldier in front of her.
“Is it really braised pork with pickled vegetables?”
"Back to General, it's really pork with pickled vegetables, haven't you already smelled it?"
The little cutie immediately looked at the soldiers in front of him with a bright smile, and slapped his hands heavily.
"Great, this general is on fire today. How long has the fire been on?"
The soldier immediately turned his head and glanced at the hourglass on the left side of the hut's entrance, and replied with a respectful expression: "Go back to the general, it's just been about a quarter of an hour since you got into the cage, and you can get out of the cage in about another quarter of an hour."
"Beautiful, I'm waiting here, general. After the braised pork with pickled vegetables comes out of the cage, I'll give you two bowls first to satisfy my craving, general."
"Ah? This...this..."
The little cutie frowned and looked at the hesitant soldiers in front of her with puzzled eyes and asked, "What? Can't I, the general, eat it?"
The soldiers heard the little cutie's question and subconsciously looked at Duan Dingbang who was standing behind the cutie.
Duan Dingbang felt the embarrassment in the soldier's eyes, smiled wryly, frowned and walked to the little cutie's side.
"General, you don't know something. The meat in the cage is a reward for the soldiers who win the sheep fight.
Among the 100,000 soldiers in the camp, only the group of soldiers who came out on top after the military formation competition could eat these braised meats.
Moreover, I have already ordered the brothers of the Huotou Army to prepare a few tables of fine banquets individually, so let’s not compete with the soldiers for these meats, right?”
When the little cutie heard Duan Dingbang's explanation, she waved her hands nonchalantly.
"Marshal Duan, it doesn't matter whether you have a banquet or not. Besides, there is no way a banquet can be as enjoyable as eating pickled meat with pickled vegetables.
General, I am not telling you big words. If you look around the world, among all the delicacies and expensive dishes in the world, there is no delicacy that I, General, have not tasted.
Moreover, this general has come to the New Army camp to inspect military affairs under the orders of His Majesty the Emperor. Naturally, I have to carefully inspect the food situation of the soldiers.
Only by sharing the same meals with the brothers in the camp can we better inspect military affairs.
Besides, as generals, it is not a good thing for us to work alone.
Marshal Duan, as the saying goes, the mouth of the cannibal is short and the hands of the taker are short, so you are not planning to use a table of fine wine and delicacies to silence General Chen and our brothers, are you?"
After the little cutie started talking, she turned slightly and looked at her elder brother Liu Chengfeng who was standing behind her with a strange expression.
"General Chen, what do you think? Do you plan to eat the meals of the New Army brothers together? Or do you want to enjoy the banquet prepared by Marshal Duan alone for us?"
Liu Chengfeng looked at sister Yue'er's slightly threatening eyes, but he still didn't understand what the little cutie was really thinking.
Liu Chengfeng nodded slightly at the little cutie's movements, smiled gloomily a few times, walked to Duan Dingbang and stopped next to him with a serious look on his face.
"Marshal Duan."
"Huh? Please tell me, General Chen."
"Marshal Duan, what my sixth brother said makes sense.
The six of us brothers came to the New Army Camp on the order of our emperor to inspect military affairs, including the meals for the soldiers.
The six of us brothers accepted Marshal Duan's kindness, but let's forget about the banquet. Only by sharing the same meal with the soldiers can we get the answer we want more clearly.
As for what the sixth brother, the last general, said just now about eating people with their short tongues and taking advantage of their short hands, they were just jokes. Marshal Duan need not take them seriously.
We dare not disobey the emperor's orders, and hope that Marshal Duan will be considerate.
As for the banquet! If we have the chance to meet again in the future, I will definitely have a hearty drink with Marshal Duan and our brothers."
Liu Chengfeng and Xiao Kaitai had said so, so Duan Dingbang naturally couldn't say anything else.
After a moment of silence with a complicated look on his face, Duan Dingbang turned to look at the fire-headed soldier on the side.
"Just follow the wishes of the two generals. As for the pickled pork with pickles and vegetables set aside for the generals, just use other foods instead."
Duan Dingbang nodded in agreement, and the soldiers naturally did not hesitate anymore.
"Yes, I humbly obey my orders."
After listening to the words of several people, the little cutie knew that she could finally get what she wanted, so she smiled and rubbed her hands together.
"Brothers, hurry up, turn up the heat, keep turning up the heat."
"General, don't worry, the fire in the stove is raging!"
"That's good, that's good."
The little cutie nodded with a smile, and then turned to look at the two cages next to them that also had seven or eight layers.
"Brothers, what kind of food are steaming in the two baskets next to them?"
"Back to the general, a basket of steamed buns stuffed with mutton, a basket of steamed buns stuffed with pork and scallions, and pork belly with pickles, are all rewards for the brothers who come out on top in the military battle."
"Okay, okay, I like it, general. It's not in vain. It really is not in vain."
As soon as the little cutie finished speaking, a voice with a deep voice suddenly sounded outside the shed.
"General Guo Changle, the general of the Huotou Army Camp, was ordered to come and meet the commander-in-chief. See the commander-in-chief."
Little Cutie, Liu Chengfeng and the others looked subconsciously towards the outside of the tall shed, and saw a tall, burly general about twenty years old standing outside the shed with a respectful look and saluting.
The little cutie glanced back at the basket that exuded a strong fragrance, and walked toward the outside of the shed reluctantly.
"The real master has finally arrived."
It was not like Duan Dingbang had never seen the little cutie's arrogant behavior, so he was afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings, so he took the lead to walk out of the tall shanty.
"General Guo, no courtesy."
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, I wonder why the Commander-in-Chief came here to find the last general?"
"General Guo, although it is my command to come to you this time, the people who really want to see you are these seniors of the Imperial Guard.
I would like to introduce you to Chen Feng, the general of the Imperial Guard. These are his lieutenants and generals of the Imperial Guard."
Guo Changle looked at Liu Chengfeng and his six brothers and sisters in surprise, then clasped his fists and saluted.
"Guo Changle, the junior general of the Huotou Camp of the New Army Camp, has met all the seniors."
