It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

Yuan Buwei brought Shangguan Que to the mess hall of the Swift Wind Camp and found the mess steward Liu: "Steward Liu, I heard that you are short of a handyman. It just so happens that I have a friend who wants to come to the Swift Wind Camp for some training, so I will hand him over to you."

"Okay, okay. Madam, you still take such a small matter to heart. I understand." Manager Liu bowed and looked at Shangguan Que, "Why don't you address me like this?"

"Oh, you can just call me Xiao Que." Shangguan Que bowed immediately.

"Xiao Que, you can just call me Uncle Liu. I'll first take you to get familiar with the environment here and the things you need to do every day."

"Okay, you guys go ahead and do your work, I'll be leaving first."

"Farewell, madam."

After Yuan Buwei came out of the kitchen, she went to find Li Yan and told him that Shangguan Que was training in the kitchen.

Li Yan was so surprised that the cake in his hand fell: "Madam, this... this..."

"I told you this because I wanted you to pay a little attention to it in private, so that Shangguan Que wouldn't get sick, which would go against my original intention. By the way, don't tell Qiong Yue about this."

Li Yan nodded instinctively, then realized: "Why?"

"Just let her recover from her injuries."

Yuan Buwei smiled and said, "I'll go back to the mansion first."

"Madam, walk slowly."

After seeing Yuan Buwei off, Li Yan immediately went to find Mu Yu and told him about this.

Mu Yu was also shocked: "This, the work in the kitchen is very heavy, busy from morning to night, can his body withstand it?"

Li Yan shook his head: "How about we go and take a look?"

"Forget it. Since it was Madam who brought him here, she must have her reasons. We should just keep an eye on it privately."

"I think so too. Besides, Madam brought it over personally. Manager Liu knows his limits."

In this way, Shangguan Que began his busy life in the mess hall of the Gale Camp.

I have to get up before dawn and start washing, cutting and preparing vegetables.

At the beginning, Shangguan Que couldn't even tell the difference between the dishes, which made the usually good-tempered Manager Liu so anxious that he fumed and glared at him.

Fortunately, everyone in the kitchen was very friendly and always helped Shangguan Que in private.

In just a few days, Shangguan Que became familiar with a young soldier.

"Brother Xiao Que, here are some freshly baked steamed buns. I gave them to you specially." Tie Niu stuffed the buns into Shangguan Que's arms. "Manager Liu said that we worked very efficiently today, so he gave us a special reward."

Shangguan Que had not been eating or sleeping well these past few days. When he saw a white steamed bun, he kept swallowing his saliva, but he was a little reluctant to eat it: "I'm not hungry now, I'll eat it when I'm hungry."

"It's okay. Manager Liu said that the New Year is coming soon, so starting today, we will have big white steamed buns for every meal."

"If it's not Chinese New Year, what do you eat?"

"We just eat whole grains, all kinds of grains. Anyway, as long as we can fill our stomachs, we will eat them."

"Is the Gale Camp short of military pay? Why are we feeding you these things?" Shangguan Que asked with a frown.

"No, the Duke is thinking about us, so we have to think about him too. We can't just eat meat and fish every day just because the military pay is sufficient. Besides, people will feel sleepy when they are full. It is good for the body to stay hungry." Tie Niu grinned and ate half of the bun in one mouthful. "Brother Xiao Que, eat quickly. It will not taste good if it gets cold."

"Then do General Meng and his men eat the same as you do?"

"Same, she lives and eats with us. Sometimes, General Meng comes to the kitchen to help, but she is injured now and needs to recover." Tie Niu's eyes were full of longing. "General Meng is very good to us. Last time we went to the forest to pick bird eggs and roasted them to eat. They were so delicious."

"What is her relationship with General Mu?" Shangguan Que hesitated, but still asked.

"They are colleagues?" Tie Niu looked at Shangguan Que with a puzzled look, "Brother Xiao Que, why are you asking this? You don't think they have an ambiguous relationship, do you?"

"Isn't it? I heard that they always go in and out together." Shangguan Que snorted and said stubbornly.

"The Duke handed the Gale Camp over to General Meng, General Li, and General Mu. They don't go in and out with us. Are they going to go in and out with us?" Tie Niu rolled his eyes without giving any face. "According to what you said, whoever General Meng looks at more, she has a problem with that person. You are a grown man, why are you so petty? Do you know how much we in the Gale Camp admire General Meng? If they knew that you were talking about General Meng behind his back, they would definitely beat you to a pulp."

"That's not what I meant, I just..."

"You are prejudiced and think that a woman cannot be a general and should stay at home to take care of her husband and children?" Tie Niu's voice became louder. "Madam told everyone these truths a year ago. At first, no one could accept it, but Madam did something. She arranged for the wives of soldiers to work in the Gale Camp. At first, no one was optimistic about it. Unexpectedly, the wives understood what their husbands did every day, and the husbands also saw the shining points in their wives. After understanding each other, their lives got better and better."

"is it?"

Shangguan Que smiled awkwardly, his face burning with anger. He felt that his thinking was not as good as Xiao Tieniu's.

In the days that followed, Shangguan Que devoted himself to the kitchen affairs.

Gradually, he became thinner and darker, but more robust, and his strength was twice as great as before.

He used to only eat one bowl of multi-grain porridge per meal, but now he eats two bowls of porridge and adds a pancake to it. He even fell in love with garlic.

Yes.

He used to particularly hate onions, ginger and garlic.

Now, without these three things, he feels that food has no taste.

end of the month.

Meng Zhuxin gave birth to a big fat boy.

Yuan Buwei asked Meng Qiongyue to prepare a lot of red eggs and send them to the Jifeng Camp to share the joy.

"General Meng, you are finally back. We all missed you so much."

"Yes, yes, General Meng, a lot of interesting things happened here when you were away."

"Really? I will be back after my sister finishes her confinement. You just wait for me for a while." Meng Qiongyue said with a smile as she distributed the red eggs to everyone. However, when she looked up, she met Shangguan Que and the red eggs in her hand fell to the ground.

There is a lake behind the Wind Camp.

Meng Qiongyue and Shangguan Que stood by the lake, not saying a word, just looking at the lake quietly.

Until Shangguan Que took the initiative to break the silence: "I want to thank Madam Lu. If it weren't for her, I would probably never understand you."

Meng Qiongyue looked up, surprised: "You..."

Shangguan Que turned around and looked at Meng Qiongyue, then stepped back and bowed: "I'm sorry, I apologize for my previous recklessness and pettiness. I made you bear too much pressure that you shouldn't have to bear. I am a seven-foot-tall man, but I have no sense of responsibility. I am even worse than Tie Niu, the little soldier in the kitchen."
