Chapter 525 Are You Deserters?
"Damn, I ate too fast before, and it was gone before I could taste it. I didn't know this noodle was so delicious."
"It's all your fault. You're like a starving ghost. We can't even taste what it tastes like."
"Is this ready to eat? Is it cooked?"
Several people couldn't wait to eat it. After entering autumn, the weather was getting colder day by day, and a mouthful of hot soup was more comfortable than anything else.
"Wait a moment." Zhou Guo took out her big bowl and filled it for herself.
Everyone just thought that it was a beating for the brother and sister and didn't take it seriously.
But after she finished pouring, she took out a small bowl and filled it up as well.
Zhou Su was staring at the pile of roasted pork that was steaming with hot aroma. He wanted to eat the barbecue more than the noodles.
Zhou Guo didn't care about him. If he didn't want to eat, he could eat it by himself. Anyway, the bowl of noodles he had just eaten had already been eaten up in his stomach, and he was hungry again now.
After serving the two people, he looked at what was left in the pot and then looked at the crowd. It seemed that there was not enough, so he took out the dough cakes, broke them into pieces and threw them in. The dough cakes were delicious when cooked, much better than dry ones.
The men didn't mind, the bread was delicious, and they would eat anything as long as they were full.
Zhou Guo placed two bowls of noodles on the stone table and said to them, "Okay, eat now."
As he said this, he started eating.
"You, you eat such a big bowl by yourself?"
Seeing her eating from such a big bowl by herself, several people were surprised.
Zhou Guo swallowed the noodles in his mouth and said, "What's wrong? I'm growing up. My mother said that I'm eating long meals."
One of them nodded and said seriously, "Yes, judging from the size of this kid, he has reached the stage of growing up. It is true that they say that this young boy will make me poor."
"Okay, okay, if you guys don't want to eat, I'll eat first."
One of them took a pair of newly sharpened chopsticks and reached into the pot. He picked up a large handful of noodles, lowered his head, blew on it, and then ate it up.
I'm really not afraid of heat.
The others were not willing to be outdone and joined in. If they didn't eat anymore, they would be eaten up.
Zhou Guo took a few bites and looked up to ask Zhou Su, "You don't want to eat anything?"
Zhou Su shook her head, "Sister, I'm not hungry yet. I'm waiting to eat meat."
Zhou Guo took a look at their meat and shook his head, saying, "This meat isn't even salted, how can it be delicious? If you don't like it, just slice it and skewer it and grill it."
As he said this, he handed him the dagger. They had roasted meat a lot at home. Thanks to the old man's skills, everyone in the family, from Li Shi to Li Lai, knew how to roast meat. Although there was a difference in skills, they were still much better than ordinary people.
Zhou Su took the dagger as he was told, cut a few skewers, sliced some meat from the uncooked meat on the ground, dug some charcoal from the fire, moved two stones, put the skewers of meat on the two stones, and started roasting them over the charcoal fire.
When it was almost done roasting, I sprinkled some salt, pine mushroom powder and pepper powder on it. It really smelled much more fragrant than those big pieces of meat.
Zhou Guo was given two skewers, eating one bite of noodles and the other of skewer, feeling very satisfied.
After she finished two bowls of noodles, she realized that there was a space on the ground. She turned around to look into the pot. There was only some soup left in the pot of noodles and pancakes. A few men were drinking it with gusto, one shovelful after another.
There was no more noodles to eat, so I could only look at the barbecue on the side.
After they started eating the noodles, they didn't care about it anymore. Zhou Suli didn't have enough strength to turn it over. Now, the pieces of meat facing the fire had been burnt to a crisp.
She went over and slowly turned the meat, made deep cuts on it, and brushed salt, pine mushroom powder, pepper powder, and oil on it. The meat was too lean and had little oil or moisture.
Zhou Su stopped grilling the meat. He looked at the rich layer of seasonings on the meat and licked his lips.
Zhou Guo has inherited the old man's barbecue skills over the past year, and the food has become more and more delicious. You can smell the fragrance from far away.
Seeing that it was almost done, she peeled off a piece and tasted it, nodding, "It's ready to eat."
Zhou Su tasted a piece happily and commented, "It's a bit old."
Zhou Guo didn't say anything. How could it not become old after being roasted for so long?
At this time, the men who were eating noodles had finished their meal and came over here with their hands clapping.
Seeing Zhou Guo sprinkled so much seasoning on the food, he rubbed his hands with joy, but did not grab any of them. He thought that since there were two big pieces of grilled food, he could have them all.
They raised their big knives and chopped down a piece of barbecue. The large piece of barbecue was divided into seven parts. Each person held a piece and started to chew it, making humming sounds in his mouth. It was obviously very delicious.
In fact, it wasn't roasted for long. For such a big piece of meat, the innermost part was not cooked at all and even had red blood streaks.
Zhou Su kindly said, "The meat is not cooked yet inside, we need to roast it for a while longer."
The men took a look and said, "No need, it's already cooked like this, it tastes much better than raw meat."
Zhou Su swallowed and said, "Eat raw meat."
Zhou Guo took Zhou Su's bowl, filled it up for him, then cut himself a piece and ate it with a dagger.
She ate a small half of the large piece of meat and shared the remaining half with several men.
Even so, it was enough to make them look sideways.
Looking at Zhou Guo, he laughed and said, "I never thought that at your young age, you could eat so much in one long meal. It's incredible."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you guys would eat so little after joining the army."
With just one sentence, he successfully shut up the men.
It's quiet now.
Zhou Guo looked at them and saw that there was no panic on their faces. He thought that either they looked down on them, or they were not deserters?
One person asked, "How do you know we are in the military?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "I guessed."
"Guessed?" Several people clearly didn't believe it. "How did you guess?"
Zhou Guo said, "My uncle has also joined the army. You guys all have a certain aura. Besides, have you ever seen anyone walking around the wilderness with a sword or a spear? You guys, are you deserters sneaking out of some battlefield?"
Several people looked at each other, then burst into laughter.
"We are deserters? Boy, you really know how to joke, hahahaha..."
After laughing, one of them said, "It's not wrong to say that we are deserters."
Zhou Su: “…”
Zhou Guo: "...Then what are you laughing at?"
Several people sighed.
One person said, "We are from... well, you wouldn't know even if I tell you. We are from the south. The court is corrupt, treacherous officials are in power, and the harsh government is more ferocious than a tiger. There are uprisings everywhere. Several vassal kings are not honest either. They are attacking cities and territories in the name of serving the king. Half of the south has already fallen. We have been following our own people to fight here and there all day long, and we find it boring. After a battle, we withdrew from the battlefield and wanted to come to the north to join General Xu's army, guard the border, and kill the Hu people!"
"Yes, it's better than fighting and killing our own people every day!"
Zhou Guo was speechless for a moment, feeling that this matter was not as simple as it sounded. After thinking for a while, he said, "Can they accept deserters like you?"
