Chapter 988: Eat in the Pot
"It's not that we didn't prepare enough, it's that we all eat too much." The old man came in through the curtain and asked her, "When are you going to leave?"
Zhou Guo said, "Let's go on the sixth day. I finally found my uncle, so I have to stay with him for a few more days to see how he is doing in the military camp before I leave."
The old man said, "Accompany your uncle. I thought you were reluctant to leave your father."
The word "Dad" was said with deep meaning and a bit of sarcasm.
Zhou Guo looked at him, "I didn't ignore you, what are you angry about?"
The old man glared: "...Who is jealous? Do I look like that kind of person?"
Erpang and the others were laughing. They also noticed that something was wrong with the old man these days.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Master, don't worry. Not to mention my adoptive father, even if my biological father comes back, you are still my master, and no one can take me away."
The old man looked a little embarrassed, turned around and walked out again, "I said no, it means no, I'm old, why am I still jealous like this?"
"Hey, it's time to eat, where are you going?" Zhou Guo shouted from behind.
"I'll go take a look around."
There weren't many noodles left, and they hadn't prepared much for the New Year.
They thought they would leave on the third day of the Lunar New Year. The road ahead was not entirely barren and remote. They could travel in a light vehicle and buy things as they walked, so they could travel much faster.
We ate all the meat last night, and now all that's left is noodles, some fried meatballs, the last bit of tendon, and the last chicken.
Er Pang asked: "Master, are all these things in the pot?"
"There isn't much food. I've cooked it all. This little food is only enough for seven or eight people. Dashu, go get General Zhou, and I'll go get General Xu to see if they can come."
Dashu said, "Master, the generals are still discussing matters. Breakfast has been sent in. He has sent someone over to tell us to eat by ourselves."
"It's not finished yet?" Zhou Guo was surprised. "Didn't you take a break after you went in last night?"
Dashu nodded, "It is said that this is the case."
Zhou Guo smacked his lips, "It's really hard work."
Although she is busy, she rarely stays up all night like this.
"The body is the capital of revolution!" she sighed.
But I also know that they have no choice. They have been away for so many days and I guess a lot of things have accumulated. I am afraid they are still considering where to attack next and how to deploy.
These were not things she could find out.
Go watch Erpang cook.
Chop the chicken into pieces, stir-fry and stew it, make a pot of soup, add the tendon meatballs, and throw in all the remaining ingredients, cook the noodles, and finally add salt, soy sauce and chopped green onions.
What a big pot, it’s almost full.
Zhou Guo stirred it, smelled it, and said happily, "It smells so good!"
The hodgepodge is pretty good, it looks very appetizing.
The old man took a walk outside and came back.
Several people each took a bowl and scooped a large bowl.
Then the rest belonged to Zhou Guo. She looked at the others and said, "Can you give me some more?"
Several people shook their heads; their bowls were not small either.
Zhou Guo scooped some chicken for them, "Come on, come on, eat more meat. This is the last chicken. If you want more, it will be gone."
There are chickens in the military camp, but I don’t know how many there are.
Each person asked for two pieces and then moved the bowl away.
Although the guys had big appetites, they didn't eat as much as Zhou Guo. Such a big bowl of noodles was enough for them.
Not to mention the old man, he is old, and although he likes to eat, his appetite is small, and he hasn’t eaten much in the past two years.
So Zhou Guo happily moved the big pot in front of him, and looked at the half pot of noodles, which contained many meatballs, chicken pieces, and a lot of tendons, and he felt happy.
No need for a bowl, just lower your head and pick up food from the pot.
When Zhou Dacang came in, he saw the old men and some others sitting aside, each holding a big bowl of noodles and eating them with relish.
Zhou Guo was sitting at the table with his back to her. He walked up to her and took a look. The corner of his mouth twitched. In front of her was the big pot, and she was eating noodles from the pot with her head down.
"General."
Erpang and others shouted hurriedly.
Zhou Dacang nodded.
Zhou Guo turned around hastily, his mouth still bulging with noodles. Seeing Zhou Dacang, he smiled and pointed at the big pot. After swallowing the noodles, he spoke, "Uncle, do you want to eat some?"
Zhou Dacang said helplessly: "Why are you still using the pot to eat? Is there no bowl left?"
Zhou Guo said, "Why use a bowl when you have a pot? It's not like I can't finish the food, and they don't want it. If I use a bowl, I have to wash an extra bowl. It's a bother. Do you still want to eat?"
I didn't ask him if he minded it or not. When we were fleeing, we all ate from the same pot. You ate a bowl of porridge, I ate it, and the whole family ate it. Even though she had eaten this pot of noodles, there was nothing she could do. After all, she had nothing left and only had this little food.
Zhou Dacang waved his hand, "No more, I've already eaten. I came here to tell you that you have to leave the day after tomorrow at the latest. Starting tomorrow, the army will set out one after another."
Zhou Guo looked at the chicken leg, blinked his eyes and asked, "Where are you going? Are you going to make another big move? Do you have enough food and grass?"
Zhou Dacang only chose to answer the last question. "You don't have to worry about food and grass. We are now fighting to support the war. Wherever we fight is our supply station. The general distributes land wherever he fights. We have received strong support from the people. Our situation is not as difficult as it was at the beginning. Food and grass are not a big problem. Even if it is not enough, we will not ask you for it for the time being. The north is enough."
Zhou Guo said worriedly, "The North has finally gotten better in recent years. The border guards are also moving towards the North. The conquered territories also rely on the North. If you also rely on the North, I'm afraid that in a few years, this good situation will be broken."
I really can't even eat chicken legs.
"No." Zhou Dacang touched her head. "Didn't you say that you have prepared farms in the territories we conquered? You will start selling fertilizer next year. In the future, the army's food and grass can be transferred from these places. The general has also considered this. The north will only be difficult in the next one or two years."
In the whole world, only the people in the north have it better off. If you want peace in the world, you have to pay some price.
Zhou Guo sighed, "But farming requires people. I've come all the way here and I haven't seen many places with large populations. What's the use of having land without people?"
Zhou Dacang was silent for a while and said, "There is nothing we can do about it."
The world has been in chaos for so many years, and I don't know how many people have died. The people are living a life worse than pigs and dogs, and they don't even have time to have children.
Nowadays, except for the south and north of the Yangtze River and the capital, there are few people everywhere.
Even the people in Jiangnan are mostly gone.
Zhou Guo finished eating the chicken leg in silence, then picked up another one and handed it to him, "Eat the chicken leg."
Zhou Dacang gladly took it, as there were not many opportunities to eat chicken legs in the military camp.
She finished half the pot of noodles, and there was still some soup left. She couldn't drink it anymore, so she said regretfully, "This is chicken soup, it's all the essence!"
