Chapter 64: One Peach for Each Person
Dayong Dynasty, Xiao family military camp.
Xiao Jingyan and others were overjoyed when they saw the peach coming out of the scroll.
Wang Tiezhu stepped forward, picked up a large, juicy peach, sniffed the delicate fragrance, and said excitedly:
"Your Majesty, this is a real peach!"
“It’s still fresh, it looks like it was just picked!”
After hearing what he said, Liu Deyou and Guo Wen couldn't help but step forward.
"Great, there are so many peaches, enough for all our soldiers to have one!"
Liu Deyou was particularly happy.
Given the planting conditions of the Great Yong Dynasty, even the princes and nobles could not eat much fruit.
Generals like Liu Deyou were at least third or fourth rank officials of the dynasty, so they had eaten peaches before. However, the soldiers under their command were all children from poor backgrounds, and they had probably only eaten sour and bitter wild peaches. They had never seen the peaches given by the fairy before.
"Hey, there are two kinds of grapes here?"
Guo Wen looked at the last two baskets of grapes delivered with great curiosity.
"Your Highness, look, why are these grapes still green?"
Guo Wen had naturally never seen such a thing as a green grape and was extremely surprised.
Shi Xi didn't greet him in advance, and there was also a kind of green grape, so Xiao Jingyan didn't know what it was!
"Since the fairy can deliver it, it must be edible!"
Xiao Jingyan concluded that he believed Shi Xi without saying a word.
As he spoke, he picked a green grape and put it directly into his mouth.
The generals standing by had no time to stop it.
The grapes burst in his mouth, emitting a special fragrance, sweeter than the candies Shi Xi had ever given him.
The taste is very special, with a hint of fruit and floral scent.
It was a taste he had never tasted before.
The skin was thin and the meat was thick. When he chewed it slightly, it seemed to turn into a pool of juice and flowed down his esophagus by itself without having to swallow it.
Seeing how he was enjoying his meal, Wang Tiezhu was already very greedy.
He walked towards the two baskets of grapes, and as soon as his chubby little hands touched the green grapes, he was hit by Guo Wen.
"How dare you! Can't you see there are so few grapes?"
"This was specially sent by the fairy for His Majesty to taste. How can you and I eat it?"
Good things should naturally be eaten by people of noble status first.
Hearing what he said, Xiao Jingyan was also a little embarrassed.
Shi Xi gave a basket of each of these two special grapes. Not to mention the entire army of more than 100,000 people, there wouldn’t be enough for just a few of them!
"Come and try some of these grapes! They're truly unique. I'm afraid we don't have any in the entire world."
Xiao Jingyan took the initiative to let them try it.
As he was speaking, a note fell from the ancient painting. Shi Xi finally sent him a message!
"Did you receive the Sunshine Green Grapes and Rose-Scented Grapes?"
"I bought this to help an elderly couple whose son has a disability. I can't finish it myself, so I gave it to you to try."
"If you think it tastes good, I can try my best to find more and buy you more."
"I know winter has arrived where you are. My best friend told me she knows someone who sells cotton. We plan to send you 200,000 kilograms of cotton and some fabric."
"Then you can go find an embroiderer who can make clothes and make cotton-padded jackets for the soldiers."
Shi Xi explained in her mind what she was going to do next, so that Xiao Jingyan would be mentally prepared and ready to cooperate with the subsequent work.
"Your Majesty, what did the fairy say?"
Wang Tiezhu looked at the colorful expressions on Xiao Jingyan's face, sometimes frowning with worry, sometimes smiling with joy.
"She said she would send us cotton and cloth so I could sew my own cotton clothes."
Xiao Jingyan said happily.
Everyone was surprised to hear this.
The fairy is going to make clothes for them?!
Or one per person!
The down jackets and cotton-padded jackets that Shi Xi had sent before were not many in number, only enough for a small group of them. What's more, the shape was weird and no one could accept it.
That was why Shi Xi was instigated by Yan Ran to make cotton coats for everyone in the Xiao family army.
"What? Did I hear correctly? The fairy actually wants to give me cotton and cloth so that we can make our own cotton-padded jackets!"
Wang Tiezhu was completely surprised, and stood there in a daze, as if he couldn't accept this fact.
Liu Deyou was sensible and knelt down in front of the scroll, kowtowed several times.
How could they deserve the care of the fairy?
After kowtowed to the scroll, he did not forget to kowtow to Xiao Jingyan as well.
"May your majesty be blessed with great fortune. I am grateful to the fairy for the gift. I am willing to follow you for the rest of my life and be your vanguard."
Seeing Guo Wen expressing his loyalty, Wang Tiezhu and Liu Deyou also knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Jingyan repeatedly, expressing their loyalty.
Xiao Jingyan just shook his head.
"Don't worry, you can also tell all the soldiers of the Xiao family army."
"As long as I have a bite to eat, I will never let anyone go hungry!"
he said solemnly.
He also wanted to prepare more gold, silver and jewelry and give them all to Shi Xi, hoping to exchange them for a lifetime of food from her.
"The three of you should stop kneeling. Tell someone to distribute these peaches. Give each of you one. Put the rest in the warehouse for now."
Xiao Jingyan gave the order, and then, seeing that Shi Xi no longer brought anything, he took the scroll and left.
Wang, Liu and Guo did not forget to send the only two baskets of grapes directly to Xiao Jingteng's tent, separating them from the peaches eaten by other soldiers.
There are too many soldiers in the military camp, so they are managed separately, but the food they eat is basically the same every day.
In Wang Tiezhu’s camp.
A few well-informed soldiers found it unreal when they heard that there were palm-sized, sweet and plump peaches to eat today.
Peaches are such precious things, only available to the royal family. How could they eat them too?
Many new recruits from remote mountain villages thought it was a joke.
They were just about to let the matter go when they suddenly saw several lieutenants from their camp carrying several large baskets of peaches walking towards them.
"The fairy was happy today and gave us, the Xiao family army, countless peaches."
"The prince has spoken. Everyone can get one."
As he spoke, Wang Tiezhu's deputy general began to distribute peaches.
The new recruits who just joined the army this year are just teenagers of fourteen or fifteen years old. They are young and have little experience. Looking at the round, pink and tender peach in their hands, they can't let it go.
Some older soldiers who have been in the army for a long time don't care about those things. They just eat what is given to them, for fear that if they don't eat today, they will die in battle tomorrow and won't be able to eat anything.
When you take a bite, the sweet taste rushes straight to your palate and fills your entire mouth.
"sweet!"
So sweet and delicious!
They had lived for most of their lives and had never eaten such delicious fruit.
"Isn't this the Queen Mother's peach?"
A soldier sighed, wiping the juice left on his lips with the back of his hand while eating.
"Who says it isn't true? Isn't the fairy the daughter of the Queen Mother? Otherwise, how could she possess such immense magical powers and such a kind heart, giving so many good things to us mortals!"
An old soldier, who was the oldest and had gray hair, sighed.
He is in his fifties this year and has been in the Xiao family army for more than forty years. He has participated in countless battles.
The brothers who joined the army with him had died on the battlefield long ago, but he has survived to this day by luck.
The longer you live, the more you can enjoy life. You will enjoy rice, sweet peaches, barbecue...all kinds of delicious food.
He felt that his life was truly fulfilling.
