She Song

Chapter 3 Just a Taste
A gust of wind blew up snow foam, and the thinly dressed Han and Chen couldn't help but shiver.

Looking at Han Xiaoyao's earnest eyes, and then at the second and third mothers who were so cute and cold, Lao Qiu gritted his teeth and took out a small cloth bag from his arms, and handed it to Han Xiaoyao with a stamp of his foot.

"Mr. Han, this old man only has this half piece of cooking cake. If you don't mind it, give it to the young lady to satisfy her hunger."

Although Han Xiaoyao had no intention of asking for food, he took it solemnly and opened it and found that the so-called cooking cakes were similar to steamed buns in later generations.

Although the cooking cake was only half the size of a palm, Lao Qiu wrapped it carefully in cloth and thought about it, he cherished it.

Nowadays, the treacherous power is in power, and the soldiers at the lowest level are also heavily exploited and may not always have enough to eat.If he, a "scholar", hadn't spoken out, he might not have been willing to give it away.

Of course, Lao Qiu and the others were assigned to patrol and guard here, which is enough to see that their status and treatment are not much better.

After wrapping the cooking cake and putting it in his arms, Han Xiaoyao saluted Lao Qiu with his fists clasped.

"Every generation in the army has a sense of righteousness! The ancients were honest and never deceived me. I will never forget Brother Qiu's half-cake kindness in this life!"

Qiu Baoniu listened to Han Xiaoyao's eloquent praise of himself, and his heart felt sweeter than drinking honey.

His face immediately turned red and he declined helplessly: "No, no, no, it's just half a cake..."

Han Xiaoyao nodded and stopped being pretentious, and said straightforwardly: "I just complained that I didn't explain the situation clearly. You are patrolling day and night and are loyal to your duties. I have no intention of embarrassment. I just want to take my sister-in-law to catch some fish and shrimp in the river to satisfy my hunger. "

The soldiers looked towards the river subconsciously, seeing white flowers covered with ice and snow, and couldn't help but feel sluggish.

After a while, Lao Qiu pointed to the ice and asked, "Is this the river Mr. Han is talking about?"

The river is frozen, and it is common for cars and horses to pass by on it. This shows that the ice is solid, and it will be at least a month before the river can be opened for fishing.

This is impossible!
Several soldiers burst into laughter on the spot. Could it be that Mr. Han has the magic to melt ice and open rivers?

Seeing that the other party didn't believe it, Han Xiaoyao said calmly: "Just cut through half a step of ice and there will be fish within a quarter of an hour!"

Hearing that he was digging through the ice to find fish instead of using some mysterious magic, coupled with Han Xiaoyao's arrogant appearance, made these soldiers doubtful.

What if someone really has this ability?If we really get fish, it will be meaty after all, which is at least better than eating pancakes and porridge.

Lao Qiu rubbed his chin. Although he was also moved, he was still hesitant. It was not because he didn't believe it, but because he was weighing the consequences.

Sun Zhi glanced at Lao Qiu and asked proactively: "We are not very knowledgeable, but I dare to ask Mr. Han, how many fish can you get with this method you mentioned?"

Lao Qiu also looked at Han Xiaoyao. If it were just one or two fish, he wouldn't take the risk.

Looking at Lao Qiu's eyes, Han Xiaoyao suddenly stabilized.

As long as you have an idea, it will be easy to do!

The ecology of the Yellow River now is definitely much better than that of later generations. I can’t say how much fish can be carried on the truck, but there is always three to five kilograms of fish per person.

He pointed to the ice and said, "Within half an hour, it will not be less than thirty catties. If it is not enough, Han will jump into the ice cave by himself!"

Since the other party was giving him face, he didn't mind taking advantage of the situation to raise his tone.

Thirty pounds of fish is enough for everyone to have a good meal for a day or two!

Lao Qiu shook his hand and cut off a beard, while the other soldiers' eyes flashed in unison.

"Ahem!" Lao Qiu rolled his eyes, glanced at his eager brother, and asked calmly: "Young Master Han has read books, so I can trust him when he says there are fishes, but if someone bumps into him, I'm afraid it won't be easy for him to explain. ah……"

Han Xiaoyao understood the meaning behind the other party's words, and immediately said: "I don't think the imperial court has banned fishing, and fishing is for the sake of raising food for the soldiers, and Chief Qiu's doing so is a manifestation of his dedication to duty.

Only when you are well fed and drunk can you be diligent in patrolling, and you can truly serve the court and the officials. Chief Qiu firstly shares the worries of his superiors, and secondly, shows compassion for his subordinates. Who can say anything?
Han and his sister-in-law happened to be in the same situation, and you sincerely invite them to cooperate in catching fish. The so-called good thing that benefits both the military and civilians will definitely become a good story! "

These words were so flawless that Qiu Baoniu and a group of soldiers immediately knelt down.Damn it, can you still say that?

Mr. Han, you are so awesome!

That's right, the emperor has no shortage of hungry soldiers. We are here to patrol the embankment better and save food for the court!

Now that the reasons have been found, what else is there to say? Let’s do it!
Han Xiaoyao is well aware that before the realization of distribution according to needs, the enthusiasm of most human beings comes from obtaining food and obtaining more and better food.

There is a natural rightness in living near and eating from the river.

On the ice, Er Niang, San Niang, Lao Qiu, Sun Zhi and two soldiers followed Han Xiaoyao closely, leaving one soldier on the embankment to look out for the wind.

Seeing Han Xiaoyao stop, Lao Qiu knew that he had chosen a place, so he said: "Mr. Han, the ugly words are ahead. Our brothers paid for this half an hour with their heads. If there is really the number you said, I will Nine and one for you, is that feasible?”

Shen Sanniang was not happy and immediately said: "Old Uncle Qiu, don't say that the fishing method is my brother's. Even if everyone who meets you gets a share, it is too bullying. Seven or three is about the same!"

Lao Qiu explained with some embarrassment: "Sanniang, there are more than a dozen brothers in the institute..."

Sun Zhi glared at Sanniang, how dare you compete with us for fish?If you piss me off, I'll kill you little yellow-haired girl!

"Whoever sees you has a share? Who made the rules? It would be nice to have fish for you. Being too greedy is not a good thing!"

Shen Sanniang still wanted to argue, but Han Xiaoyao held her back and said to Lao Qiu with a smile: "Brother Qiu, it's not worth hurting each other's relationship for a few fish and fish. How about gambling on luck?"

Lao Qiu narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "I wonder what Mr. Han wants to do with his bet?"

"If the fish exceeds [-] kilograms, you will be the winner!"

This was one-third higher than Han Xiaoyao's original target. Lao Qiu and Sun Zhi looked at each other and nodded. They both felt that even if it was eighty-two, there would still be more than 30 kilograms of fish, and they would not lose money.

However, the two of them had a tacit understanding as partners, and Sun Zhi asked: "What if I don't have forty pounds?"

Han Xiaoyao smiled heartily and said: "Then we don't want any fish."

Lao Qiu immediately stretched out his palm: "I've said it all!"

Han Xiaoyao nodded and clapped his palms together: "It's hard to chase a horse!"

Thinking that they might not be able to share the fish, Er Niang and San Niang's expressions changed again and again, but when they saw Han Qiu high-fiving him, they finally said nothing.

After the two parties agreed on the bet, Han Xiaoyao used his shoes to draw a circle the size of a basin on the ice, and then said with a smile: "Can you please cut through the ice!"

Er Niang asked dejectedly: "Brother Xiaoyao, if we don't have forty pounds, will we still be hungry?"

Lao Qiu took out his sword and smiled at Er Niang: "Don't worry, Er Niang! I, Lao Qiu, will never eat alone. Even if it is less than forty pounds, I will keep it for you to eat fish once."

Er Niang thought the other party was pretty good and said gratefully: "Uncle Qiu, thank you very much!"

Lao Qiu laughed, and he and his men each took their own side. In an instant, swords and guns were flying, and ice and snow were flying.

Er Niang leaned against Han Xiaoyao, stared at the ice and asked nervously: "Uncle Qiu, when you cook the fish, can you give me a small piece to taste first?"

The second mother was embarrassed in front of outsiders again, and the third mother could only quietly tug on her sister's sleeve: "Sister, stop talking...it's embarrassing!"

"I'm not greedy, I'm just having a taste..."

　The signature has been passed. Those who have invested may wish to make a small profit.
