The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

After half an hour, no one came to line up anymore.

"Okay, it's our turn to eat."

The old lady wiped the sweat from her forehead and asked her subordinates to sit together for dinner. Mu Tou and his two companions also had a seat.

"Auntie, I have filtered the water for you and poured it back into the tank."

The fat lady had seen it early, and she smiled and added a large spoonful of radish for the three people.

"Eat, and then continue working after you have eaten."

Mu Tou responded and quickly picked up his chopsticks to eat.

As soon as you take a sip, your mouth is filled with a strange taste.

"This rice tastes better after washing it twice, Boss, let's wash it twice from now on."

The thin old man next to her looked at the fat lady in a flattering manner.

"Well, with this filter thing, you can wash it twice. Su boy, stay here for a few days and help me make a few more pottery jars."

Mu Tou tried hard to swallow the rice and agreed.

"Okay, Auntie, find a few more people to help with dinner. The three of us are busy. This filter requires activated carbon, and I need a day to make it."

The Mu Tou just used was prepared by Su He for him.

Before leaving, Su He thought about the water shortage in Jinyang City and made some preparations.

This method was indeed used this time, and Mu Tou and the other two successfully broke into the interior.

Originally they were only going to stay for one night, but they persisted day after day until Li Biaotou, who had been waiting for a long time, brought his men to look for them. Only then did the three of them pack up and leave.

Counting the time carefully, half a month has passed.

The fat lady was reluctant to part with Mu Tou, so she pulled Mu Tou and forced a meat bun into his mouth.

Ever since Mu Tou taught her how to make a filter, the fat lady started to give special treatment to Mu Tou and the other two.

So apart from the lack of water, the three of them lived a pretty comfortable life.

"Su boy, go back and study hard. This place is not suitable for you."

The fat lady took the kitchen staff and personally sent the wood away.

The three Mu Tou kept sticking their heads out of the carriage window and waving, until they turned around and disappeared.

"Mu Tou, we should give some silver notes."

Xu Wenyuan looked at the meat bun in his hand and felt a little sad.

The soldiers on the border had nothing to eat. They had been eating dishes drizzled with lard for half a month.

It is said that it is dipped in lard, and with so many people sharing it, it is better than plain water.

"You idiot, how can they spend the banknotes? There are no shops in the city."

"We'll go to Huangye Town to buy some pig fat, boil it into lard and send it to them, as well as cloth. Let's buy the cheapest linen, which is strong and durable."

Mu Tou had already made plans. His sister had prepared a lot of silver for him, and he took out half of it to purchase supplies.

"Mu Tou, should we ask someone from the escort agency to deliver it?"

It’s not that Qu Qing was unwilling, but after calculating the time, they would go back just in time for the Chinese New Year, and if they were any later they might not be able to make it.

"Okay. Let's go to Huangye Town and find a small escort company to deliver the goods. This road is much safer now, so there will be no problem at all."

Ten days later, Mu Tou and his two companions returned to Huangye Town with light luggage. After taking a nice bath, they went out to spend some money.

They ran all over the town and only bought 50 kilograms of pork fat. None of the three were satisfied as it was not enough.

"Mu Tou, it would be better if you could bring some meat. This little bit of oil won't last long."

Mu Tou nodded and said, "Then let's buy a few pigs and ask the escort agency to take the pigs to the border."

Qu Qing had only eaten pork and had never seen a live pig, so he had no experience in sending pigs to the border. Xu Wenyuan didn't know what to do either, so Mu Tou made the arrangements.

The three of them spent a night in Huangye Town, and the next day they found a small escort agency in Huangye Town to deliver three fat pigs, along with two carts of linen. The 50 kilograms of pig fat was also boiled into 15 kilograms of lard, which was put into a can and sent away together.

Watching the three pigs being slowly transported away, they also set off towards home.

When Chen Wen returned to the border, he found that the south kitchen closest to his house was very busy and he could faintly hear the sound of pigs squealing.

He ran over and saw that it was really a pig.

"Auntie, where did the pig come from?"

The fat lady was feeding a few pigs with a smile on her face.

"Don't you know? Su Xiaozi and his men sent them to us. The general said that we should fatten them up a little more and kill them one by one in the new year so that everyone can have a prosperous new year."

Chen Wen slapped his head hard, wondering why he didn't think of sending a pig. He just bought some cakes and brought them back.

"By the way, you don't have to go back to the team today, come to the kitchen to help later. Su is really good at cutting radishes. You even threw my radish leaves at me the first time."

Chen Wen chuckled, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Then I'll come and help now."

As he said this, he went to get the radish to cut.

"Wait, go wash your hands first, don't dirty my radish."

The fat lady waved at Chen Wen in disgust, and Chen Wen said in confusion.

"Auntie, don't we all wash our hands together when we wash radishes?"

This saves water. No matter how you wash, there will be a smell of yellow mud. When he first arrived, he wanted to wash his hands before working, but the fat lady scolded him. It took him a month to adapt to the customs at the border.

"Who said that? We haven't done that for a long time. We now have ceramic filtering basins. Look at you, you also come from the south, how come you are so different?"

The fat lady started praising Mu Tou again, "This was prepared by Mu Tou. She knew we were short of water here. She came up with this idea specially."

Sister Mu?

Chen Wen blurted out subconsciously, "Is it Sister Hehua?"

"You know them too? Yes, you introduced these three to me."

Chen Wen chuckled, now he felt balanced.

The powerful one is not Mu Tou, but Sister Lotus.

"Sister Lotus rescued me from the human traffickers."

Chen Wen skillfully took a small stool and started washing radishes, then told the people in the kitchen the story of Tianyuan Village.

The three Mu Tou here have already arrived home.

Su He looked at the three black men and nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good. Now no one will dare to say that you are weak scholars when you go out. Come on, I will treat you to a delicious meal."

"Sister Lotus, do you have spicy chicken feet?"

Xu Wenyuan chuckled, revealing his white teeth. He had been thinking about this for two months.

"Yes, they are all at my house. I guarantee you will have enough. Come to my house to sleep today. I have prepared food for you all."

The three of them cheered, jumped into the carriage and urged Liu Bai to go home quickly.

"I wonder if there's fried chicken, if there is I'd like to eat two!"

"Of course there is. My sister will make sure everything is ready. There will definitely be milk tea as well."

Qu Qing also swallowed his saliva, "The sour plum juice tastes good too. I still like to eat fried chicken with sour plum juice. I haven't eaten chili powder for a long time."

The three of them fantasized all the way back to Su's house.

Liu Niang looked at Mu Tou who ran in and sighed, saying that the child had become much stronger.

"Come and wash your hands, the food is ready."

"understood."

The three of them carefully poured a basin of water and helped each other to scoop water with a ladles to rinse.

"Mu Tou, there's no need to reuse this water. This is not the border."

Qu Qing saw that Mu Tou was using another basin to collect the dirty water they had used, so he quickly reminded him.

Mu Tou was stunned for two seconds before he reacted embarrassedly.

"Oh, oh, I forgot."

"Come on, let's go eat."

The three of them entered the kitchen and saw a table full of food, including what they had mentioned and some that they had not mentioned.

"It's cold, let's have some hot pot. The soup base is bone soup, it will nourish you well."

Xu Wenyuan yelled, rushed over, picked up the whole fried chicken and took a big bite.

Liu Niang silently helped the three children pour sour plum juice.

"Eat slowly. One fried chicken per person. If it's not enough, I'll fry more tomorrow. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Xu Wenyuan nodded with tears in his eyes, "Liu Niang, you are so kind. Much better than my father."

Qu Qing also nodded in agreement.

The meal lasted an hour, and the three people stopped eating until they were about to vomit.

"Okay, we'll take a walk to the dock during the break. If you're still hungry before going to bed, I'll bake some sweet potatoes for you. There are two fish in the kitchen, so we can grill them, too."

Su He accompanied Liu Niang to clean up the mess, while Mu Tou and the other two covered their mouths and nodded.

"Sister, don't talk about food. I want to vomit."

Mu Tou got up with difficulty and prepared to go out for some fresh air. The smell in the kitchen was so great that he could hardly bear it.

Xu Wenyuan and the other man also followed him out.
