Chapter 6
The archway outside the kitchen courtyard.

"Hey! I said that you are really enough! If there is meat for you, I will definitely give it to you."

Liniang saw that the people in front of her were greedily sniffing the scent and smell of meat in the air, some of them even drooled, and wanted to rush into the yard.She blocked the door with her body without any trace. Although she stood upright, she lacked confidence in her words: "Don't act like you have never seen the world."

As Liniang spoke, the tip of her nose moved slightly, the smell of meat seemed to be stronger, she quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.It's fine for Madam to eat meat, why is the taste so overbearing.

"It's so fragrant, so fragrant."

"That's right, hugging a mother-in-law is not as comfortable as this."

"laugh……"

The men were very excited, and their eyes turned to behind Liniang, wishing they could go in immediately.

Liniang frowned when she saw that they were talking more and more, and her eyes moved. She never expected to see Zhang Da's eyes following the chickens and ducks moving in the yard. , if you dare to attack chickens and ducks, be careful with military law!"

"Liniang, I'll just take a look and think about it. I dare not really covet my wife's food, but I haven't eaten meat for a long time."

"That's right, let's quietly smell a few more fleshy breaths here."

"Yes! Let's just smell it and not eat it."

A uniform voice sounded, and the men looked behind Liniang with eager and intense gazes.

Liniang put her hands on her hips and looked at the men surrounded by her in a very speechless manner.

When Su Jian came out, what she saw was the scene in front of her. Liniang was standing in the middle of the doorway, right in front of Liniang. Although she couldn't look carefully, she also found several heads. Listening to their conversation, they It's been a long time since I ate meat, and I'm greedy for the meat she bought.

The light and shadow in Su Jian's eyes flashed, and she looked at the dilapidated surroundings again. She knew that the General's Mansion was poor, but it turned out that the General's Mansion was so poor that she couldn't even eat a meal of meat!So that it makes everyone so hungry?
Of course, she didn't think at all about the delicious meat she instructed Goose Yellow to make.After all, in her opinion, no matter how delicious the food is, for people who are full, the temptation is not so great.

"Ma'am." Zhang Da noticed Su Jian behind Liniang, and quickly called out. In an instant, everyone around him became quiet: "Ma'am, we are just passing by here, and we will leave immediately."

Su Jian looked at the men headed by Zhang Da and led them away. She thought there were only three or five people, but she didn't want to count them in detail, but she couldn't count them.

Liniang saw that Zhang Da led the people to leave in a line, she turned to look at Su Jian, feeling embarrassed.But he also felt that Su Jian should know about the situation in the general's mansion.She knelt in front of Su Jian: "Forgive me, ma'am, it's been a long time since the brothers have been oily, that's why everyone lost their composure. But ma'am, don't worry, they don't dare to touch Madam's ingredients."

Su Jian withdrew her gaze, and looked at Liniang with complicated eyes: "It's the General's Mansion anyway... Forget it, Liniang, tell me the truth, how long has it been since your mouth didn't smell oily?"

Liniang lowered her head and showed a finger.

"One day, one week, one month?"

Liniang didn't understand what Su Jian's one week meant, but she understood one month: "It's a year."

Although Liniang's voice was low, Su Jian heard it clearly, and her eyes widened in disbelief.Seeing Liniang nodding and still muttering about it for about a year, she gasped. She couldn't bear it if she didn't get oily for three days. I really can't imagine how a group of elders could bear it if they didn't touch meat for a year.

Su Jian stabilized her mind: "Is this true for each of you?"

Liniang nodded: "Yes."

"At any rate, it's the General's Mansion, so it shouldn't be." Knowing that the General's Mansion is poor, it can't be so poor... Su Jian sighed again.

Liniang didn't feel embarrassed at this time, she looked at Su Jian, and spoke confidently, her tone was full of reverence: "The general is considerate and kind. There are wars at the border every year, and the court's burden is too heavy, so naturally there is no time Taking care of us low-level soldiers and family members. The general is kind-hearted, took us in, gave us a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and let us fill our stomachs. We are grateful to the general.”

Su Jian looked at Liniang for a long time, and then said after a long time: "So you mean that there are more and more people in the mansion, and it would be good to keep everyone from starving." That's what it meant.

"Yes, we are all grateful to the General."

Su Jian knew that Liniang's words of gratitude were true, and seeing her determined expression when she mentioned the general, she knew that the general and Zhan Zhan had a good impression on these people.but……

A person is kind, she supports and agrees.But you should do what you can...

"Could it be that your general is only a soldier who comes to join him, and his family will accept it?"

"The family members are the widows of soldiers or their relatives, and the soldiers are also people who can no longer go to the battlefield and are homeless."

"..."

"Madam also thinks the general is benevolent, right?"

Looking at each other, Su Jian didn't answer Liniang's question, she just said, "Didn't you general think of a way? What I mean is, if you take in so many people, you should find a way to maintain their livelihood."

"..."

"Like doing business, farming?"

"The general thought of a way!" Liniang raised her head, looking at Su Jian with piercing eyes.

Su Jian opened her mouth and didn't know what to say for a moment. Zhan Zhan thought of a way to keep the people in the house from eating meat for a year... It seems that this is not a time of famine, so it shouldn't be.

"The general cut down on food and clothing, just like us, sharing weal and woe." Liniang was afraid that Su Jian would not believe her, so she quickly explained: "The Zhuangzi under the general's name also gave us to farm, but what...we are useless, the grain on the Zhuangzi It is barely enough to keep us from starving to death, but the slaves believe that as long as we work hard, we will definitely grow more food!"

"..." Seeing Liniang's firm words, Su Jian was shocked. Her nominal general husband also hasn't eaten meat for a year?For Zhan Zhan, she really doesn’t know how to describe him now.

"Madam, please trust us."

"..." Su Jian also wanted to believe it, but when she thought of those men squatting in the archway and smelling the smell of meat, she couldn't say the word "believe".

"Ma'am, go back and have dinner."

Su Jian took a deep look at Liniang, then turned and left.When she was about to enter the kitchen, she stopped, looked back at Liniang and said, "I don't know how many people there are in the house, and the meat I bought today is also limited, so you should add up the sum of what I bought. Meat is included in the meals for everyone, although eating meat is not delicious, but at least it has a little meaty smell."

After saying that, Su Jianti stepped into the room, not noticing the change in the way Liniang looked at her.

At that time, Su Jian had only one idea, she had to understand the situation of the General's Mansion as soon as possible, for nothing else, she needed to live with peace of mind and eat meat safely.Don't when they won't be able to eat meat or food, and everyone will be staring at her, then she will be really dangerous.
