In the faint smoke of morning cooking and the aroma of cooking,

Wang Jian, a new pawn in the garrison who seemed to be awake and awake, and squatting, carrying a semicircular food utensil cut from bamboo, followed by the long line, and mechanically finished washing the face. A series of actions, such as cleaning mouth, tidying up and dressing, finally appeared next to the hot kitchen and pots, only to receive his morning meal;

Two rusty steamed dumplings and a spoonful of thin vegetable porridge, even so he still feels quite satisfied; you know, even when he was at home, he didn’t have many chances to eat these things; dark and rotten. The chaff and vegetables, and the bark and grass roots from time to time, are the things that occupy most of his cognition;

And here you can actually eat three meals a day. That is a good thing only when the farmer is busy and God grabs the harvest, not to mention that there is a meal of dry wheat or biscuits for lunch. It may not be a good thing to work hard for the big master's family; therefore, for him, the extra dinner is completely earned.

But at the moment they still can't start eating right away. Instead, under the leadership of their respective fire chiefs, they have to complete a few follow-up instructions and declarations on the banner of the rebels.

It's nothing more than exhausting all the energy and shouting "My parents give birth to me, the rebels have clothing and food", "The sky is equal, everyone is full and warm" or "Kill officials and divide the land, the world is peaceful", "To level the injustice, the poor man turns over", and even It is "the master is fat to death, the poor man is forced to death", "when the food is urged, the tears run dry", etc., and so on, these can be called rebellious, or they are extremely subversive words about the past;

Those who say bad things, mistakes, omissions, or powerlessness will all be punished; in this kind of collective atmosphere and some kind of solemn ritual process, as long as there is little delay or hesitation, it will lead to The fire chiefs and the heads of their respective fire officers and the heads of the army even added fists and kicks. If they do not change after repeated teachings, they will be punished for standing, resisting wood, depriving them of premature food and being assigned to the labor team.

At least, Wutoulu, who is responsible for urging his team to drift, does not seem to be that patient; and he does not want to be punished again while watching others gobbling, but he can only swallow desperately hungry. The situation, it is simply too tormenting and tossing people.

Then after eating the morning meal, before starting to line up for exercise, as well as after lunch and before dinner, they also read and shouted a similar content last time; and Wang Jian also experienced this, from the initial fear The one who flinched did not dare to speak out, and later exhausted all the energy to vent the joy and comfort.

Because his real name is Wang Jian'er, Jian Jian'er, because many of his brothers and sisters in the family died, so he broke half a bucket of food that grew between his teeth. Mr. Donghu, the fortune-teller, asked him to change a healthy word, which means healthy adult. That's it; it's just that he finally grew up to the day of confession, but his parents left early in the increasingly difficult world, failing to live to see this day.

And in the midst of reluctance and all kinds of fears and fears, he gradually got used to shouting with the crowd many times. He also felt that there were some things he couldn't figure out before, and he slowly understood it. The early death of his parents and the hardships of the world made it happen. The frustration and cautiousness of Wang also seem to have been vented and dredged out of some kind, which makes people feel more comfortable.

But what he actually looks forward to is that after the late meal, at least when the rebels are dark, there is no need to save the lights, and to sleep in the grass early in the morning; instead, there are other things to do and entertain, such as the whole team The last bit of embers and light in the firepit, while checking their own hygiene, talk about their origins and past, sing small songs from their hometown, blow bamboo whistles and leaf flutes to everyone.

And only those who perform best in the day or work best will get the chance to enter the brightly lit dining hall; there are people called by the head of the house who are called little gentlemen, specially for them Talk about all kinds of anecdotes and ancient stories and legends; people who just go back will inevitably have red eyes, or they can't wait to find someone to vent and tell.

Thus, they vaguely knew that these stories and experiences were related to the roots and basic principles of why poor people were born to suffer and suffer, and were forced to desperately fight against the injustices of the world.

"You froze each other's hard work..."

When Wang Jian, who was distracted, woke up from the slap of the bad-faced Wutou again, he hurriedly picked up a bamboo stick that had been worn out straight from the shelf; he used the blunt end of the cloth to dip the basket with white ash. Among the whistle and the command, he jerk forward with all his strength and jerk forward.

Then, just like the others in the queue, he shook his hand and slammed into the space without a moment, and landed on the side of the pile of grass-drifting people; then, there was pain in the scolding and yelling, and he quickly retreated. When I came back, I continued to do so back and forth.

I could only hear the shouts and cry of pain from the left and right of Wang Jian; from time to time, some people knelt on the ground with force, and some people couldn't recover their breath, and even people flew into the dust with poles; others simply Panicked and swayed the pole left and right, and knocked and slapped at one place with others, which disturbed the whole fire of stabs. . .

After a tumultuous toss, the worst-performing new pawn was pulled out, he was forcibly tied with a helmet made of straw and wood chips, and he stood in front of other people bloatedly and awkwardly, and started It serves as a ready-made living target for everyone in order to follow suit.

First, the left and right rods were jabbed together for more than a dozen rounds, and they only had to dodge and are not allowed to retreat. Even though there are no obvious scars on the skin and flesh, it can be painful for most of the day to eat and sleep. of;

And those who have performed poorly many times will have to accept further punishment; they have to wear heavy protective gear of straw and wood chips, and act as targets for the shooting team, and among the blunt-headed feather arrows flying in the sky, they have to wear heavy protective gear of straw and wood chips. Screaming and screaming screams and screams ran back and forth until the last trace of strength was exhausted.

As the sun gradually rises, among the ranks of the new pawns in the team, there are people who fainted or get tired, and then they are dragged away on the spot and others continue to make up for it; no matter what they appear to be stupefied. Whether it is true or not, it is inevitable to be sent to the fifth brigade that can only take on the lowest labor and basic rations.

And Wang Jian is really reluctant to stay in the army for three meals a day. Even though his eyes are black, dizzy and dizzy, it is like there are many bugs buzzing, but he still bites. Ya supported it once encouragingly.

I don’t know how long it has been. Wang Jian, who may collapse to the ground at any time with sore hands and soft feelings, finally waited for the whistle representing lunch; he finally squeezed out a trace of strength from his body and was busy. He put the sweaty bamboo stick in his hand back to the shelf, and then hobbled to join the team heading to the room.

After eating lunch and a short digestion rest, the afternoon exercises will make people feel a little relaxed, because it is more about the formation and array content, although it is still boring and monotonous, but it can make the arms and arms Take a good rest.

After a while, a freshly steamed handful of brown rice balls and a pinch of thick miso soup and salted vegetables covered his head, which immediately made him forget all the exhaustion and hard work, and devoted himself to this when he grew up. I have tasted it several times, only in the harvest year, I saw Xingzhen delicacies on the day of ancestor worship.

Suddenly, half of a browned pancake fell on his eating utensils that had been almost licked, and Wang Jianhuo couldn't help being surprised. It was not a small matter and missed to snatch other people's food outside of his share. Seeing that it was Wutoulu, who always had a stinky face, wandering, still holding the remaining half.

"It's not ashamed of our fire",

He stubbornly dropped such an explanation, then turned around and walked away.

. . . Separator. . .

In another place, Zhou Huaian was eating sweet soy milk with fried dough sticks dipped in hot sauce, looking at and listening to the various rewards in the camp.

Even though these are all later generations and inconspicuous things, they represent a certain level of luxury and enjoyment in this era; because soy milk has to be pulverized to and fro filtering, gypsum and bittern are required to barely meet the standards of later generations; but it can be fast Melted refined sugar, a whole pot of oil, and finely ground flour rubbing sticks are all rare objects in this era.

The hot sauce is a bit simpler, but the powder is ground from cornel and rattan pepper, and then fried with tempeh and oil. It can be regarded as an improved and upgraded version of appetizing and refreshing vinegar ginger slices and salted cornel for soldiers.

Therefore, even if he experimentally assembled a complete set of equipment and procedures, the amount that he can actually supply is only a few dozen people in a small area, including himself; almost the chiefs and their close people are divided into equal parts. The points are gone.

And having a pot of soybean oil or vegetable oil that you can freely control every day also means more fried foods with different patterns, from the simplest rice noodle cakes and cakes to the fruits and vegetables such as eggplant, courgette, chives, grapefruit, Vinaigrette, mushrooms, various poultry parts of chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep, meat and egg products, and even river seafood such as fish, shrimps, crabs, etc.

Anyway, it is necessary to use the oil to the extreme over and over again. In the end, it turns black and yellow and can no longer filter the residue. It can also be used as the base oil for cooking, and the restaurant will specially collect the leftovers. Going through the pot, reprocessing and concocting it; it can be regarded as the private benefits and benefits of the dozen people around Zhou Huaian.

Of course, after the successive intake of such high-calorie food ingredients, the associated consequence is that the energy bar in the field of vision has finally begun to grow slowly and slightly. (End of this chapter)
