Chapter 699 Too outrageous
"Then you wash up first. I'm heating up the food. You can eat it when it's served!" Xi Yao arranged.
Zhou Rong was also a hurried person. Seeing that he was dirty, he was not willing to eat like this, especially since this was not a military camp where people were fighting for food, so he nodded and agreed.
The man took a shower, which took a while. After he finished it, 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 greasy dishes on the table, he couldn't help but start eating. The way he grabbed the food was completely different from the gentle way he used to eat. It scared Zhou Li.
.
I just felt that he had met a fake uncle and he was confused as to whether he should tell his grandma or not.
"Slow down." Seeing that he was eating in a hurry, Xi Yao felt distressed. He put down his chopsticks, helped remove the bones from the pig's feet, and then put the pork feet in his bowl...
After eating two bowls of rice with countless meats and vegetables, Zhou Rong slowed down, then looked at Xi Yao and said aggrievedly: "I haven't eaten meat for a long time!"
He was really hungry.
"Didn't I give you a pig yesterday?"
Zhou Rong took a mouthful of meat with a depressed look on his face and muttered: "There are so many people. One pig, ten is not enough. Today we encountered a lot of injured people. The general asked Lao Xu to give meat to the injured people."
Sorry, I didn’t eat much at lunch, I was busy all afternoon, and now I’m starving!”
Xi Yao picked up a chopstick of dried prunes and fried pork belly and put them in his bowl. He frowned and said, "Is there such a shortage of food in the military camp?"
If he had eaten enough, Zhou Rong would not be like this.
Although they had been poor since they got married, their poverty soon eased.
It can be said that Zhou Rong has never been at a loss for words...
This time, it was quite a struggle.
"No!" Zhou Rong paused for a moment and said helplessly: "What we eat now is coarse grains, without any meat or fishy taste. Ordinary people can't stand this, let alone the soldiers who go into battle!"
"The Li family's food should be delivered!" she said.
"Alas!" Zhou Rong sighed and said, "The Li family thought so, but so much food needs people to harvest, polish, dry, and transport it. If we hire all the people, the Li family's business will lose money. If
I don’t want to lose money, so I can only do it step by step. I’m afraid I’ll have to wait for this food to arrive at the military camp!”
Xi Yao opened his mouth, but he didn't expect the matter to be so complicated.
"That is to say, since the Li family's food has not arrived, the military camp can only eat coarse grains?"
Zhou Rong nodded and said: "Yes, this is specially brought by the imperial court. Otherwise, there would be no coarse grains!"
Xi Yao felt that he was dumbfounded.
"Is this too outrageous?"
"It's not the intention of the imperial court. In short, Daqian is still too weak. Over the years, the people have been short of food and clothing, and the soldiers have been hungry to fight against the Southern Liang Kingdom!" Zhou Rong said this with a heavy tone.
Many times, the meat in my mouth no longer tastes good.
Xi Yao was very angry when he heard this, and couldn't help but said angrily: "If the court doesn't do anything, you should work hard on your own!"
Under the confused and curious looks of Zhou Rong and Zhou Li, she pointed to the back mountain and said: "There must be a lot of food in the mountains. Even if there is a war, not everyone will go to the battlefield. You can just find someone to go into the mountains and put them there."
Clean up the things in the mountains and find a way out, even if they are snakes, they are still good things!"
