good meal

Chapter 333
Seeing that Chu Liangrao's forehead was dripping with sweat, Mother Du persuaded: "Princess, please take a rest? You have been standing for a while too."

Having said that, Chu Liangrao didn't force it, took the handkerchief and wiped his hands and face, then sat aside and watched.

After a while, the first pot of dumplings will be ready, if Chu Liangrao doesn't use it, the rest of the people won't use it.After using two small bowls, she was still not satisfied, so she asked Mama Du to fill another two.

It was rare for Chu Liangrao to have a big appetite, so Mother Du simply brought another plate of dumplings.

The white and fat dumplings are dipped in a little vinegar, put into the mouth and lightly bitten, and the tender juice will ooze out.

Because of the good festive atmosphere, Chu Liangrao used six dumplings to save face, and also used a small half bowl of colorful glutinous rice balls, and then put down the bowl contentedly.

Seeing that the dumplings on the table could not be put down, Chu Liangrao asked the servant girls to stop and eat some dumplings to satisfy their hunger after washing their hands.The hot dumplings add a little more warmth to the already warm house.

Counting the time, Chu Liangrao pushed open the window and said, "It should be fireworks."

Just finished speaking, I felt a flash in front of my eyes, and then there was a "bang", and a firework bloomed in the distance.The gorgeous colors brighten up the night, even the bright moon can't help being a bit inferior.

Then there were a few more sounds, and the colorful fireworks in the sky attracted a lot of cheers, but there was silence after that.

Chu Liangrao couldn't help wondering, in the past, the fireworks had to be put on the clock, but now why did they stop after such a short time?
It wasn't just Chu Liangrao who was puzzled, but everyone who attended the banquet in the palace looked puzzled. The emperor who was sitting upright looked at the courtiers whispering to each other, and said lightly, "Mr. Xu, go and see what's going on?"

"Yes." In response, Director Xu took a few steps back, and then went to check the situation with wind on his feet.

Before they entered the stage where the fireworks were set off, they saw thick smoke billowing, and several gray-faced little eunuchs scurrying around like headless chickens, yelling loudly, let's go, let's go.

New Year's Eve, if something like this happens, it's okay?
Immediately, Director Xu ordered some young eunuchs to be arrested to silence them, and then sent someone to check inside.

After this investigation, it turned out that there were a few fireworks that were not lit, and instead of not, billowing smoke rose.Only then was the person who set off the fireworks so frightened that they ran around with their heads in their arms, thinking that they had gone off the fire.

Seeing the thick smoke gradually dissipating, Director Xu said in a deep voice, "Go and find out who made the fireworks."

The guards who followed followed the order and went to work without stopping, while Manager Xu urged the people to find undamaged fireworks and light them.

It took some time to finish all this. When everyone was talking about it, a ray of light was lifted into the sky, and the bright firelight aroused cheers.

Looking at the belated fireworks, Chu Liangrao closed the window.

It's obvious that something happened in the palace, but since the fireworks were lit again, it should mean that things have temporarily calmed down.

Ben put his heart back into his stomach, and Chu Liangrao sat down again.

Fortunately, nothing happened, if there is trouble in the palace at this time, what's the point of Huo Tainan fighting hard in southern Xinjiang?
On the day of the Wan family reunion, although I have no relatives by my side, I still have Mama Du and Ding Xiang to accompany me, but what about Huo Tainan?In that place, I don't know if there is a sip of hot water to drink.

The conditions of the war were difficult, Chu Liangrao knew it well, but still couldn't avoid worrying.

But at this time, far away in southern Xinjiang, there were no fireworks, not even bonfires.

The soldiers surrounded by each other had to rely on each other's body temperature for warmth, thinking of their relatives far away.

Looking at his subordinates who followed him, Huo Tainan gave his life, and the soldiers who hadn't seen the fire for several days saw the warm bonfire again.There is no food on the fire, only a few large pots, in which only big snow water is boiled.

Even if it is just a sip of hot water, it makes people feel precious.

The climate in southern Xinjiang is not like that in the north. After coming here for so long, it has never seen snow, but the snow on the top of the mountain has not melted for years.Because of this, there is no shortage of water sources.

But because he wanted to avoid the pursuers, Huo Tainan didn't let anyone light a bonfire for several days.

After drinking cold water for a few days, the soldiers who were not used to it gradually got used to it. At this time, being able to drink a sip of hot water really feels a bit like the Chinese New Year.

However, the lack of food and grass is still a problem. It is a matter of physical exertion to keep moving forward, but at this time there is no food and grass. No matter how frugal you are, the problem still exists.

Mo Qing walked towards Huo Tainan who was standing alone, handed over the bowl in his hand and said, "Master, you can have a sip too, so as to warm up your body."

Huo Tainan took it, took a sip, and handed the bowl to Mo Qing.

Holding the bowl, Mo Qing said, "Master, take another sip, you haven't eaten all day."

"It's okay." Huo Tainan waved his hand, and then said, "The food and grass in the army can last for three days."

Mo Qing looked downcast, and said: "Master, is it possible that this is the case?" He would rather die in battle than starve to death because of lack of food. .

Huo Tainan doesn't know what Mo Qing thinks. In fact, there are many people who think the same as Mo Qing. Most of the 5000 people come from poor backgrounds. Apart from wanting to make meritorious service, the more direct reason for joining the army is to be able to eat I am full, but now I can only use hot water to soothe my hungry stomach.

The rest of the food is used to save lives, and no one is willing to eat it.

With a flash of light in his eyes, Huo Tainan turned around and walked to the campfire, his cloak fluttering with the wind.

"Everyone." The clear voice attracted everyone's attention, and the blazing bonfire left a brilliant brilliance on Huo Tainan's body. He slowly raised a hand and asked, "Do you want to fight?"

After the questioning, there was silence. Everyone held their breath and looked at each other, seeing the light in their eyes.

"Vice general, we are willing!" A response resonated with everyone.

Huo Tainan nodded slightly, and ordered Mo Qing to distribute the food to everyone without leaving anything behind, and then said: "If you think this meal is not the last, you should all know what to do."

This move is the end of the boat.

The fire light reflected on everyone's faces, shining a heroic scene.

During the Chinese New Year, they had no choice but to swallow the precious rations with the mood of life or death.

Those who were not psychologically strong even choked up from eating, and the voice that wanted to cry but couldn't cry made everyone feel down.

Just when everyone was chewing the wax, they heard a radical sound of the piano broke the silence, and then a powerful and steady singing sound came to everyone's ears.

It's just a song, but it seems to have magical power, so that people who were originally in despair have hope in their hearts again.
