"What kind of filling is it? It smells good! "Wang Ke finally ate his first wonton.
"It's filled with pork and scallion. I was afraid that your stomach wouldn't be good, so I didn't make wontons filled with chives and eggs," the farmer answered.
"You're giving us food that you usually don't bear to eat?" Wang Ke was touched.
The farmer blinked his eyes. "…"
He was also touched. What a good border soldier, but he didn't get to eat meat. How could the grasslands lack meat?
One of Zuo Weiwei's men said, "The Li Family Zhuangzi eats meat every meal. What's there to be reluctant about? We're on duty and hope that we can arrive soon so that we can eat good food."
Wang Ke looked at him. Are you kidding me? Eat meat every meal?
He didn't ask, but he wanted to know more. "I think the logistics are good."
"It's more than good. If any army has the Li Family Zhuangzi as their logistics, they can definitely win battles. The Li Family Zhuangzi can feed you food."
Zuo Weiwei's men admired the Li Family Zhuangzi. When they were on duty around the Li Family Zhuangzi, it was as if they were celebrating the New Year.
Not only did they eat good food, but they also received gifts.
Wang Ke admitted that he had never met such logistics. They were too considerate.
The Li Family Zhuangzi even had the leisure to make chicken soup for the wontons they were eating now. He even added delicious pickled vegetables, shrimp skin, and coriander.
How rushed was this? To be able to do things to such an extent, what if the Li Family Manor was prepared?
The surrendered households didn't think about logistics. They were worried about their future. To put it bluntly, they had moved to the mainland and were at the mercy of others.
During the meal in the afternoon, the women, children, and the elderly all looked forward to the days to come.
They saw the neat tents and delicious food. They weren't used to eating with chopsticks, so they could only eat with chopsticks.
But this thing was delicious. It was soup pancake, right? They had never eaten it before.
"Can you give me another bowl of soup?" Some children wanted more after eating, but they didn't dare to ask for wontons. They only wanted soup.
The person in charge of the wontons took the bamboo bowl and scooped out five more wontons and a full bowl of soup. He added some sesame oil and coriander.
The child held the soup with both hands and found a place to continue eating. The soup was delicious and did not smell fishy at all.
When the other children saw this, they all went to ask for it. Their thoughts were simple. If they could eat more, they would eat more.
The child had never eaten wontons in his life, let alone sesame oil.
After the elderly, women, children, and Wang Bei had all eaten, they began to feed the young and strong people who had surrendered.
Piles of wontons were boiled, and the pot next to it was stewing after the soup was gone.
Two hours later, everyone was eating. Those who had eaten before were already full and were arranged to enter the tent.
Get into position and don't get lost.
Wang Bei had already finished eating. He arranged for his brothers to take over the Winged Knights and the Sixteen Guards.
The stewards from Zhuangzi also ate slowly. They could endure hardships. It wasn't like they hadn't eaten before, so they weren't picky about food now.
Wang Bei came to the other party's side and squatted down. "Can you arrange food for forty thousand people in two hours?"
"It has nothing to do with time. It depends on what Dongzhu thinks and what he eats. Only a hundred villagers came. It's not Zhuangzi's full strength.
If Dongzhu mobilizes, thousands of people can arrange logistics and Baggage. You guys guard the border. If there's a need, Zhuangzi will move out. "
The steward blew on the soup and said without any falsehood.
He was a small steward in Zhuangzi, so he naturally knew the logistics ability of Zhuangzi.
Dongzhu could reach any level he wanted. They weren't in a hurry today, so the speed was slow.
There were still pots to be used, so no one was tired.
"I heard that the logistics of the Li Family Zhuangzi is the best in the world?" Wang Bei asked. He wanted to hear the other party's humble words.
"That's right!" The steward didn't want to be humble. Was there a need to say that the Zhuangzi was amazing?
"Aren't you going to be humble?" Wang Bei asked straightforwardly.
"Can you win the battle?" The steward asked back.
"I guarantee I can." Wang Bei didn't allow others to say that his army couldn't.
"Aren't you going to be humble?" The steward asked again. He picked up a wonton, blew on it, took a small bite, and continued to blow on it. It was too hot.
Wang Bei: "…"
After the villager ate the wonton, he said, "You give me the feeling that you are very arrogant."
"When I do things, it's fine as long as I'm careful. We also want to keep a low profile, but our strength doesn't allow it."
The steward repeated what Li Yi said.
Dongzhu always said, what is humility? Our Li Family Zhuangzi is the strongest. The strong will always be strong. No matter what challenge they encounter, they will be defeated.
Wang Bei: "…"
He suddenly didn't want to chat anymore. He understood that the head of the Li Family Zhuangzi had a kind of pride in his bones.
And he never needed to hide it. When he did things, he was indeed better than others.
In other words, this was called morale. What is humility? Telling soldiers to be humble during a battle?
It was just that the soldiers at the front line were fighting desperately, and the Li Family Zhuangzi people at the rear were desperately providing supplies.
Everyone was the same. The Bashui Li Family Zhuangzi wasn't a Zhuangzi at all. It was a place that specialized in training logistics and Baggage troops.
After the surrendered households finished eating, they returned to their tents to rest. They were indeed too tired. They had been in a hurry.
The Li Family Zhuangzi people began to soak the beans.
Wang Bei didn't want to rest. The sky wasn't dark yet. He stood at the side and watched the villager soak the beans in the water.
"What are you making?" he asked the steward.
"There's another meal tonight, wonton. Tomorrow morning, too. Tomorrow afternoon, you have to cook by yourself.
Soak the beans first, then stir-fry them with diced meat. Add some dried diced carrots. "
The steward gave the answer. He didn't want to make tofu, nor did he plan to make soy milk.
He just wanted to soak the beans now. By tomorrow afternoon, the beans would be very big.
"What are we eating tomorrow night?" Wang Bei didn't know why he asked this question.
"Tomorrow night, we should be eating sauerkraut and stewed pork. Tomorrow night, we should be able to reach Pujin Du. There's a second wave of support coming from there."
The steward didn't have to worry about tomorrow night. The Li Family Zhuangzi people were moving out wave after wave.
The ones at the front were the strongest. The ones at the back would be hired to help transport them. There was a continuous flow.
Sure enough, when the sky was dark, torches were lit, and everyone was called to eat.
More than four hours had passed. Now, it was time to ensure the surrendered households' nutrition.
The next morning, after eating again, the group set off.
Compared to when they were in a hurry, the condition of the people in the group was obviously much better. There was enough food.
For lunch, they really ate stir-fried meat with beans and yellow rice.
Although the weather was hot, they still gave everyone hot food to protect their digestive system.
When the sky was dark, the group arrived at Pujin Du.
Just as the steward said, there was a pot set up at the bridgehead to make stew. The staple food was whole-wheat steamed buns, which were relatively dark.
The bamboo pontoon bridge connected the two sides. The common people watched this group of newcomers from afar.
They rushed over and passed the news to Chang 'an.
"We've arrived at Pujin Du? In the future, the pontoon bridge used to temporarily pass between the two sides must be changed. "
Li Yi received the news after another day. He looked at the map and said to Li Longji.
The pontoon bridge spanned across the two sides. There were no large ships passing through. Small ships also didn't cross the bridge. They just wandered around the two sides of the bridge.
The pontoon bridge couldn't be separated and couldn't be unlocked.
There were no large ships passing from the Yellow River upstream to here.
