Chapter 981: Going to the Military Camp
After discussion, Zhou Guo decided not to leave anyone behind and to take all the food away. This opportunity was so rare and they should all go and broaden their horizons and see the world.
Erpang and his friends were so happy, "Really? Master, can we go too?"
Dashu said: “Yes, can the general allow so many insignificant people to enter?
Zhou Guo said: "Don't worry, since he said that, he didn't stop me from bringing people with me, so you guys can definitely get in. I tell you, this is a rare opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to get in in this lifetime."
Although they knew that the military camp was not a good place to enjoy themselves.
But as a man, who doesn’t have a dream of becoming a general?
Since they can't become generals, it's good for them to go in and take a look. When they go back, they can brag to their brothers.
The things were put away quickly, just some clothes and food.
I had only been here for a short time, so I hadn't bought much.
Zhou Dacang looked at the things left in the house and said, "Are you going to come back here? Didn't you only rent it for a month?"
"Yes." Zhou Guo nodded, "But the lease of the courtyard has not expired yet. I must come back before it expires. I have some acquaintances here and I need to say goodbye to them."
It would be unacceptable for the neighbors and Gou Ya to just leave.
"Do you have any acquaintances here?" General Xu asked with a smile.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "I met some friends who I met while traveling a few years ago. I happened to meet them here. They were refugees at first, but later they heard that you distributed land wherever you conquered, so they came here and settled down. They are living a pretty good life."
General Xu sighed, "What the common people want most is their own land. The world has been in chaos for so many years, with wars everywhere. There are not many people left in the world. If the chaos continues, I'm afraid everyone will die."
This is also the reason why he made up his mind to go south. Relying on those people in the court would never be possible. The world would not be peaceful and the people would not have a good life.
This great chaos is just the right time to bring about great order, formulate new rules, and start over again.
This is also the reason why Zhou Dacang could follow him wholeheartedly. What Xu’s army has always been doing is to seek peace in the world.
After packing up, Erpang prepared breakfast with Dashu and Xiaoshu.
I don’t know what the general likes to eat, but Zhou Guo said there is no need to prepare big fish and meat, just eat as usual.
They actually did that, but with a little more variety than usual.
Steamed buns, dumplings, fried dough sticks, noodles, millet porridge, homemade appetizers, and various braised duck dishes.
This is what was left over when I first came here. There was too much stew and I couldn’t finish it.
It has been frozen in the ice cave and it hasn't gone bad.
Zhou Guo looked at the plates of braised duck, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he glanced at the old man. Needless to say, it must have been his idea.
The old man whispered, "What are you looking at? It's not bad. It's delicious. Do you think I should throw it away? I tell you, they may not be able to eat such good food in the camp."
Just look at Zhou Dacang and you will know. When he comes back, he eats whatever he can get. He is not picky and thinks everything is delicious.
It will take at least two or three days for the situation to improve and for people to remember to order food.
Zhou Guo didn't know what to say, nor did he know how to take the dish away in front of so many people. He just asked General Xu to sit down.
Everyone sat down together.
General Xu looked at the table and smiled, "There are so many delicious foods. I am in for a treat."
Zhou Dacang also had a smile on his face. He hadn't eaten home-cooked meals for a long time. Although these were made by Erpang and his friends, they were always somewhat similar to those at home.
General Xu took a bowl of porridge and picked up a bun.
Zhou Guo breathed a sigh of relief. After they had all taken their turn, she picked up a braised duck wing for herself. No one else was eating the duck, so she tried it first.
I felt relieved when I took this bite. Although it didn't taste as good as the first one I made, it was not bad and was still edible and tasted good.
Zhou Dacang picked up a duck head and asked, "Did you buy this?"
I didn't see anywhere selling it.
"No." Zhou Guo raised his head and said, "We made it ourselves. How does it taste?"
The old man boasted, "This was made by your little niece herself."
"Oh?" General Xu finished a bun in a few bites. Hearing that it was made by Zhou Guo himself, he became interested and picked up a duck head. "Then I have to try it. Nannan is so capable. I didn't expect she can cook."
Zhou Dacang said, "General, we are from farming families, country kids. We started working when we were five or six years old, and helped in the fields when we were eight or nine years old. We were considered laborers when we were twelve or thirteen years old."
General Xu nodded, "Yes, they have already started talking about marriage when they are only twelve or thirteen years old."
At this point, he looked at Zhou Guo and asked, "Daughter, did you say you kissed me?"
Zhou Guo was stunned, shook his head, and said honestly: "Not yet."
Looking at Zhou Dacang, "My uncle hasn't even proposed marriage yet, I'm not in a hurry."
Zhou Dacang: “…”
He glared at me and asked me what I was doing.
General Xu also looked at Zhou Dacang and sighed, "You are already old, and Mr. Zheng's children are about to get married, but you are still a bachelor. What kind of wife do you want? You don't want the daughters of so many wealthy families in the north, do you want a fairy?"
Zhou Guo looked at Zhou Dacang in shock. This was different from what he had been told at home over the years.
What he said was that none of the higher-ups had suggested a marriage for him.
Zhou Dacang coughed and said, "I'm not in a hurry. If I don't put my head on the belt now, I might end up being a widow. Let's wait until the world is stable."
General Xu said, "I couldn't control you before. I can't force a cow to drink water. But now I am Guoguo's father. If you don't get married, she won't get married either. As her uncle, do you have to stand in her way all the time?"
Zhou Dacang looked at Zhou Guo in amazement and had nothing to say. In his heart, Zhou Guo was still a little kid. Was this little kid going to start talking about marriage?
General Xu looked at Zhou Guo with a smile, "Don't worry about him. It's his business if he doesn't get married. Just tell us what kind of husband our daughter wants. You are worthy of any man in the world, but ordinary people are not worthy of you."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Dad, I'm like my uncle. I don't want to get married. I want to be an aunt for the rest of my life."
General Xu: "..."
Zhou Dacang: “…”
Only the old man was eating his meal with a calm expression. His little disciple was so outstanding and strong-willed. No matter which family she married into in her life, her life would probably not be as comfortable as her current one. It was also good if they did not get married.
He has never been married in his life, so what's the big deal? He can live his life comfortably by himself, eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, and do whatever he wants. There's nothing wrong with such a life.
