"Captain, why are you calling the villagers to the dam?"

After receiving the task, a young soldier asked in confusion.

The captain smiled and said, "Haha, I can tell from the looks of it that you're a new member. The leaders are going to treat the villagers to a meal to build relationships!"

During the Long March, when the Red Army had sufficient supplies, they would invite local people to dinner to build relationships with everyone.

Let the villagers know that the Red Army is people-friendly and kind, and let everyone have a better understanding of the Red Army.

Every time we invited fellow villagers to a dinner, there would always be many people who volunteered to join the Red Army.

"Sister! Brother Dashan wants you to help!"

Zhou Xing and Zhou Yue came to this open-air dam carrying a big pot and seasonings.

This place is very close to the Chishui River, the water is clear and can be drunk directly.

The water quality of the Chishui River is also an important factor in the mellow and attractive taste of Moutai.

Zhou Yue looked at the buckets of water that were carried up. It was crystal clear and had no impurities.

I couldn't help but sigh that the water quality in this era is so good and there is no pollution at all.

Unlike modern rivers which are full of garbage and wastewater, the stench in the rivers can be smelled from far away.

"Here comes the fat pig!"

Zhao Dashan and many soldiers came over carrying a lot of fat and strong pigs.

The animal has been bled and gutted, and now it’s time to prepare the ingredients and cook the delicious food.

Then more soldiers brought in the cabbage and rice they had found in Tang Mazi's cellar.

Tonight, I will invite all the people in the town to have a meal of cabbage and pork porridge.

The entire Red Army had nearly 10 people, plus the villagers in the town, so the pots in the team were really not enough, so they borrowed many large pots from the villagers.

After cleaning the pork, a large piece was given to each cook.

Next, on the open-air dam, the sound of chopping meat could be heard one after another.

Chop all the pork into minced meat and set aside, then cut all the cabbage into thin strips.

In order to increase the aroma, dried mushrooms are soaked, cut into small pieces and added in.

The white rice in the pot is bubbling, and minced meat, diced mushrooms and shredded cabbage are poured in and cooked into a fragrant and tempting meat porridge.

The strong aroma of meat spread far away, and more and more villagers gathered together.

Holding bowls and chopsticks in hand, waiting to enjoy the fruits of victory with the Red Army.

The villagers all knew that the evil Tang Mazi had been punished by the Red Army, and they were very grateful.

Now that I have been invited here again to eat free food, my favorable impression of the Red Army soldiers has deepened a lot.

Chief Liu saw that most of the villagers had arrived and prepared to let the cooks start serving meals.

"Let the villagers eat first, we will be the last in line."

There was a long queue in front of each big pot, and every villager could scoop a big bowl of meat porridge.

This is simply too precious for them. There are many families who cannot eat even half a piece of meat all year round.

The aroma of the meat made them salivate.

The little boy who got the Ding Ding Candy today, brought his younger brothers and sisters to line up for food.

When I tasted the tempting meat, tears rolled down and fell into the bowl.

His family hasn't eaten meat in several years, and he almost forgot what meat tastes like.

After everyone finished their meal, Chief Liu ordered people to bring in many jars of Moutai liquor.

"It's cold now, let's drink some wine to warm ourselves up."

The porridge bowls were licked shiny by the villagers, and some wine was poured into each person's bowl, and everyone sipped slowly and savored it.

Wine is the essence of grain. For the poor, they can’t even afford grain, let alone wine.

As the sweet and mellow Moutai liquor went down our throats, our bodies gradually warmed up, we felt a little tipsy, and our whole bodies exuded a sense of coziness and comfort.

Commander Liu stood at the front of the crowd and told the villagers about the Red Army’s next plan.

"The Red Army will distribute Tang Mazi's land to everyone. In the future, every household will have land to farm and they won't have to go hungry anymore!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was loud applause from the audience.

"Now I believe it all! The Red Army really are good people!"

"The white dog is doing bad things on purpose!"

"If we can get the sorghum field back, we can make wine at home in the future!"

"What the Red Army did was truly heroic! I want to join the Red Army, too!"

After today's dinner, the villagers went home to rest one after another, but the Red Army soldiers were still busy.

The leaders planned to cross the Chishui River from Maotai Town tomorrow.

After crossing the Chishui River, the troops split into two groups. One group advanced towards southern Sichuan with great fanfare.

The enemy was misled into believing that the entire Red Army was heading towards southern Sichuan, intending to cross the Yangtze River to the north.

As a result, all the enemy's heavy troops were lured to southern Sichuan, causing a troop shortage in Guiyang.

The main force of the Red Army hid in the nearby mountains and forests, waiting for the opportunity to cross the Chishui River again.

If you want to hide in the mountains without being discovered, you must not make a fire to cook, otherwise the smoke will alert the enemy.

Today we slaughtered more than 30 of the more than 180 pigs we used to entertain the villagers for dinner.

The remaining meat can be made into jerky that can be eaten directly as dry food when hiding in the mountains.

At this time, bursts of howling were heard from the pig farm. All the pigs had their aortas cut and bled.

Zhou Yue and all the cooks in the army are now very busy.

Use a kitchen knife to cut the pork into strips for subsequent cooking and drying to make jerky.

There was only one night, and there was no time to waste. Zhou Yue's hands left afterimages from cutting the meat, and after working for several hours, her wrists were extremely sore.

Zhou Xing has also been with his sister, and seeing how hard his sister has been working, there is some pain in his eyes.

"Sister, let me help you cut it for a while!"

"No need, Sister is not tired, just help me watch the pot."

Zhou Yue wasn't being harsh when she said she wasn't tired. Compared to the soldiers who were building a pontoon bridge over the Chishui River all night, her job was much easier.

The cut strips of meat are first cooked in a pot and then dried on a grill over a campfire.

The dried meat made in this way can be eaten directly without cooking it over a fire.

Hundreds of cooks worked all night long.

Zhou Yue was so sleepy that his head ached. He could only wait until he crossed the Chishui River and found some forest to hide in before he could get a good sleep.

Before leaving the next day, each soldier's water bottle was filled with wine.

Soldiers who can drink can drink some to warm their bodies.

People who can't drink alcohol can use it to rub their legs and feet, which has the effect of relaxing muscles and activating blood circulation.

After walking dozens of kilometers every day, the feet are most susceptible to injury and swelling. Rubbing them with alcohol can relieve foot fatigue.

After this period of time, Wu Shisan has become the medical director of the military medical team due to his outstanding performance in treating the wounded. The speed of his promotion was so fast that Zhou Yue was a little amazed.

Wu Shisan found Chief Liu last night and said, "Chief! Wine is very effective in disinfecting wounds. I suggest you bring some with you for use on the road."

Chief Liu nodded and said, "Okay! Let's take more wine with us this time!"

When Wu Shisan disinfected the soldiers' wounds, he used medical alcohol bought from the mall.

When others smelled alcohol and asked about it, they just said it was the team’s wine.

But there was not much wine left in the team and it was about to run out.

Fortunately, we can make up a large batch here, which will make it much easier to disinfect the wound in the future.

After the Red Army crossed the Chishui River, it was time for the two teams to separate.

"We must make a big noise and lure all the enemy troops to southern Sichuan!"

The leader of the team saluted with a firm look in his eyes, "Don't worry, we will complete the mission!"

Immediately afterwards, the large group Zhou Yue was in began to look for mountains and forests to hide in.

"Chief! The mountain ahead has dense forests and is perfect for hiding!"

"Okay! Speed ​​up towards that hill!"

Zhou Yue was not in a good mental state, her steps were unsteady, and she had to be supported by her younger brother to walk.

Just hold on a little longer and it will be here soon! Make sure to catch up on some sleep by then!

[Sister Yueyue! We are about to arrive at our destination! Please get ready as soon as possible! ]
