Chapter 501 Natural Disasters and War-torn World 49
After the old generals tasted the meals cooked by Ling Xue, they were naturally very satisfied. He is not usually very fond of these appetites, and he does not often indulge in large amounts of fish and meat, so he still likes these home-cooked dishes made by Ling Xue.
"Your skills are great. You are almost as good as the royal chefs in the palace!" The old general got Ling Xue's sponsorship, and he praised Ling Xue to the sky.
Although Ling Xue knew that her craftsmanship was good, compared with the royal chefs in the palace, it was still not the slightest bit inferior.
The old general's compliment really made her blush.
"Thank you, thank you!"
Neither of them were polite people, and all the meals made by Ling Xue were wiped out by them. Even the large box of vegetable steamed buns made by Ling Xue were eaten by the two of them, and not a drop of the pot of soup made with tender sweet potato leaves was drunk by the old general.
Ling Xue was worried that he wouldn't be full after seeing his arrogant attitude. She underestimated the old general's appetite: "Have you eaten enough, old general? How about I make some more?" The old general waved his hands and declined again and again: "That's enough
. That's enough! It's been a long time since I've eaten so much. This vegetable steamed bun is very good. This method can save a lot of food! What a good idea!" Ling Xue was also a little proud of being able to save more
food. Good thing!
"I have planted so many sweet potatoes. There are so many tender sweet potato leaves that we can't eat them all by ourselves. Let the soldiers come and pick them when you have time!" The old general felt a little embarrassed that he had taken advantage. He thought for a moment
. He said to Ling Xue: "Well, let's take advantage of you. We feel sorry for you. We don't have any money or food, so we only have a handful of energy. Didn't you say you want to dry vegetables? Let them come and pick the young sweet potato leaves for you. Just take the ones for the military camp when they leave."
Ling Xue was worried about not having enough manpower, and the old general's words seemed to open up Ling Xue's second line of appointment and governor, yes, she didn't have enough manpower, the old general had it here!
Ling Xue happily accepted the old general's arrangement, which would also make the old general and the others feel better. Otherwise, they would still feel bad about letting these soldiers eat for free.
"Then it's agreed, your soldiers will come to help, and I will provide them with sweet potato leaves to eat. If there are too many, you can blanch them and dry them into dried vegetables and store them, so that you can have one more dish to eat in the winter!" Such an
arrangement , both parties are happy!
As for whether to invite these soldiers when harvesting sweet potatoes, Ling Xue felt that maybe not.
It's not that she doesn't want to give the soldiers more opportunities to earn some food, but Ling Xue feels that when the sweet potatoes mature, there will definitely be more and more refugees, and this opportunity must be left to them.
Thinking of this, Ling Xue called Shen Zhen to discuss it with him.
"I plan to ask the refugees to help collect sweet potatoes. Do you think this is feasible?"
Shen Zhen also thinks it is feasible, but the details need to be carefully considered.
"It's feasible, but the rules must be set in advance, otherwise we will have nothing left when those refugees swarm up!" Ling Xue nodded. This is natural. If they are afraid of the refugees causing trouble, they can also invite the old general to come over
. Sit down. At this time, not only the refugees were short of food and drink, but other forces, large and small, were also short of food. Therefore, the old general and the others were invited to take charge not only to guard against refugees, but also to guard against other forces coming to snatch food.
Don't think that these forces don't know about Yunyang City. They know everything about Lingxue's planting of new grains. It's just that they are fighting for territory now and can't spare any time to deal with Yunyang Mansion. But that's not necessarily the case when the food is mature. They are likely to attack Yunyang Mansion for food.
