The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

The next day, the three of them were awakened by the sound of horse hooves outside.

There was a water shortage in Jinyang City, so the three of them didn't even have time to wash their faces or even drink a sip of water.

The black-faced scholar is now worthy of his name.

The three men walked out of the house and looked around. The soldiers were nowhere to be seen. Outside were the elderly, the weak, women and children. Everyone was cleaning their clothes. Their cleaning was very simple. They basically just patted them and then carefully wiped the particularly dirty places with some water.

Mu Tou walked over and started a conversation.

"Auntie, are you from the border?"

The woman in the blue headscarf raised her head and said, "Yes, my man is the chief here."

Mu Tou was a little surprised. The general was in charge of 500 people, and he lived here?

“Isn’t it inconvenient to live here?”

The woman in the blue headscarf smiled and said, "It's nothing. This Jinyang City is better than the previous borders. At least the houses here are big and sturdy. As long as we have enough to eat, we can survive."

Xu Wenyuan was about to speak when he swallowed a mouthful of dust again. Good god, he could still survive like this.

“Is there not enough water in the city now?”

"It's OK. We are used to it. If there is a particular shortage of water, the general will take people to the south to transport water. Hehe, you three don't look familiar. Are you the southern guys who came yesterday?"

The three Mu Tou looked at each other and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Yes, we came here yesterday, but ma'am, I was originally a commoner of Huaihexian, and I fled to the south six years ago."

The old lady then looked at the wood seriously, "Are you three?"

"I'm the only one. They're from Guangyuan. Auntie, if I ask you to make a suggestion, is there anything you'd like to change?"

The lady shook her man's clothes clean and tilted her head to ask, "What do you mean by suggestion? I don't want to change. I don't have the time to do that."

"Erdan! You bastard, your clothes are torn again in just a short while, come here!"

The old lady stuffed the washed clothes into Mu Tou's arms and rushed towards the naked boy not far away.

Qu Qing couldn't help laughing when he saw Mu Tou, who was holding his clothes with a confused look on his face.

"Wood, it seems you are talking to a cow."

Mu Tou sighed softly, silently helped fold the clothes and placed them on the stool.

"Hey, those three southern guys, yes, you guys, hurry up and come to work."

A plump lady holding a big spoon greeted them.

Mu Tou and the other two went there obediently, but were scolded by the fat lady along the way.

"You three black boys, I prepared dinner for you yesterday, but you slept like pigs and couldn't be woken up even if I called you. My dinner was in vain. Today you have to work for me for a day to pay off your debt."

"I said you guys from the south are useless. You are so tired after walking such a short distance. If all our soldiers at the border were like you, they would have died long ago."

"I heard you are here to study? You three idiots, you must have come to the wrong place. What are you going to study here? How can you die if you study?"

"You are all so silent and stupid. The three of you should dust off yourselves at the door. Move faster. You haven't eaten enough!"

The old lady had a naturally good voice, and Mu Tou, who was sitting next to her, already had tinnitus.

"Auntie, we are ready, what do you need us to do?"

"Go, wash and cut these radishes."

Mu Tou and the other two remained silent as they looked at the Carrot Mountain in the distance.

Mu Tou cleared his dry throat and asked, "Auntie, where is the water?"

"This child has such big eyes but he is actually blind. Look, he is right there on the ground."

Mu Tou looked dully at the basin of yellow mud water on the ground. Is it really necessary to wrap the radish in a layer of yellow mud before putting it in the pot?

"Hurry up, dinner will be served in two hours. These soldiers are like wolves. If there is no food on time, they will eat my pot. Don't delay me."

After saying this, the fat lady went to find someone to work for her.

"Mu Tou, the water is so muddy, you'd better not wash it. I think you can just rub the radish mud with your hands and put it in the pot."

Xu Wenyuan looked at the basin of yellow muddy water, his face full of resistance.

Mu Tou was looking at the yellow mud and water on the ground thoughtfully.

"Wenyuan, please help me get the bag from the house. I have a plan."

Half an hour later, Pang Da Niang asked people to carry a pile of rice over, still cursing.

"These damn Nanxun people, they call this rice? I will ask the general to sue them."

As soon as the fat lady entered the kitchen, she was stunned by everything she saw.

The originally dirty kitchen became very clean.

She was not happy, but instead felt a pang in her heart. It was over. These three silly boys used the water she used for cooking.

Just as she was about to open her mouth to curse, she saw two young men pouring yellow mud water into a clay pot, and the water flowing out from the bottom of the pot was surprisingly clear.

The fat lady rushed over and saw that what was flowing out was indeed transparent.

"Hey, how did you get this water?"

The fat lady excitedly grabbed the fattest guy and asked.

Xu Wenyuan was grabbed violently by the fat lady and almost spilled the muddy water. The bucket below contained filtered clean water and could not be dirty.

"Auntie, please stop pushing me. We filtered it ourselves. It's fine to use it to wash radishes, and it can also be boiled and drunk."

"What is filtration? Can you teach me? We are short of water here."

The fat lady changed her previous arrogant look and looked at Xu Wenyuan with a ferocious smile.

There's nothing I can do about it; this is already the most gentle look of the aunt.

Qu Qing said, pointing at Mu Tou who was frantically chopping radishes.

"This is what Su Che did, Auntie, we need to hurry up and wash the radishes."

The old lady quickly ran over to take a look, and found that the young man worked quite efficiently. The radish was cut very evenly, and the green leaves were also well kept in the pot.

"Auntie, this is what my sister prepared for me. I have the recipe here. When the meal is ready, I will teach you how to make it. It's very simple."

Mu Tou smiled at the fat lady and went back to cutting radishes.

When the fat lady saw the three people's good attitude, she was very happy, so she listened to their advice and quickly washed the rice and cooked.

Speaking of washing rice, she wanted to curse again.

The rice from Guangyuan does not need to be washed, just put it into the pot directly. It saves water and tastes good. The rice from Nanxun has a musty smell and is inedible if not washed. She wasted a lot of water.

"Su boy, can my rice washing water be made clean?"

"Sure, ma'am, don't pour the water out. I'll ask my companions to clean it up for you."

The fat lady was very happy when she heard this, and she used two spoonfuls of oil to cook in a very good mood.

"Okay, let's let these brats enjoy themselves today and have more oil in their stomachs. Afeng, you and Xiaozhou go wash the rice."

The fat lady was humming a song while cooking.

An hour and a half later, there was a long line at the kitchen door, and everyone came with their own bowls.

The fat lady is very strict. She uses a large bowl, two spoons of rice, and one spoon of vegetables. That’s it.

"Auntie, give me one more spoonful. It's not enough for me."

A soldier looked at the old lady pitifully.

"Go away, eat it if you want."

The fat lady roared, and the soldier shrank his neck and walked away.

The people behind came forward and continued to tease the old lady with laughter.

"Auntie, you look much prettier today. Hehe, I'll just have half a spoonful more."

"Get lost."

The three Mu Tou covered their mouths and laughed.
