The Petite Wife of the First Family

Xu Zhizhi's emotions came and went quickly. She knew that she did it herself, but she couldn't control it.

Xiao Jingheng coaxed his daughter-in-law well, got welfare again, and slept with her arms around her contentedly.

Su Zhiming from the western border hunted with his soldiers, and he taught the Firehead Army a cooking skill that he learned.

In the military camp, eating well and eating enough every day is completely different from before.

The morale of the soldiers was very high, and the soldiers of Western Chu who wanted to harass the border residents doubted their lives.

I don't dare to come here often to disturb people's hearts, so the old man led the soldiers to open up wasteland and plant sweet potatoes.

They are numerous and powerful, and they have cultivated several mountains, all according to what Lao Hou Ye learned.

Draw them one by one, with wide and deep gaps in the middle to prevent the water from flowing unsmoothly.

The dry wood on the mountain is burned into ashes and the tender grass and tender wood are buried in the soil to make fertilizer.

Those who take care of the land are all wounded soldiers, who used to do nothing in the barracks.

Relying on the subsidy of the Houfu to support them, some of them dare not go home when they are injured.

Because the family is also poor, they cannot work and have no food to eat.

The old man had a good heart, so he raised the wounded soldiers by himself. The wounded soldiers knew in their hearts that it was the Houfu who raised them, and it was very uncomfortable.

However, when they went home, they didn't even have a meal, so they could only stay aggrieved.

Now, they all have work to do, and the old man said that this sweet potato can feed the entire Su family army.

When they are busy, the soldiers do not practice, and they all grow sweet potatoes together.

The old marquis also told the soldiers that after digging up sweet potatoes, they can grow rapeseed, radish, and cabbage.

Let them have enough to eat in all seasons, and the soldiers are full of energy.

Even the wounded soldiers have swept away their previous malaise and worked extraordinarily vigorously.

Su Zhiming led them to hunt the prey, and if they couldn't finish eating the prey, they went to Fucheng Zuixianglou to sell the silver, and then went to the food store in Fucheng to buy food.

Their Su family army no longer expects those old guys in the court to give their army salaries.

Those who love to buckle, buckle it! They are self-reliant and well-fed by their own labor.

Every soldier is full of happy smiles, whether it is the soldiers who are practicing or the disabled who are farming.

The Su family's army is even more concerted, they all know that it was the idea of ​​the Su family's eldest daughter.

Some people went to Qili Village with Old Hou Ye and Su Zhiming, and met the second son, the young lady, and the young masters.

People who haven't been there kept asking, "The sweet potato vermicelli we eat is really grown by our Su family's young lady and young master?"

"Yes, and bacon, dried radish, and dried cabbage are all grown by themselves."

"Wow! We've been eating sweet potatoes in a few months, and they're delicious!"

"What is this sweet potato porridge! That roasted sweet potato is fragrant and sweet!"

"You have eaten?"

"I must have eaten it! Miss Houfu and Young Master have no airs at all. We eat the same as all of them there."

"Really! Like they eat, they also eat braised beef, braised pig's trotters, and pork?"

"As you said, there is still a lot of food to eat! We can eat it in the second half of the year. The general didn't bring much last time, just give us a taste."

"We are all full, except for sweet potatoes and dried cabbage, there are enough braised pork series."

"Yeah! The lady of our Su family is amazing and invented so many delicious foods."

"That's right, there was no shortage here before. We just didn't expect to hunt animals and come back to eat."

"Ah! It's a waste of years. We used to be dizzy with hunger."

"Hehe! It's not that we don't hunt, but it's as tasteless as eating firewood! It's the clever lady of our Su family who made it so delicious."

Su Zhiming was also very happy when he heard that the soldiers were discussing his cousin in their spare time.

"You bastards, are you free when you're full? How dare you arrange my cousin?"

"General Mingjian, we are discussing how to eat sweet potatoes in the future."

"Yeah! General, we have planted a few mountains, will they be broken by then?"

Su Zhiming said proudly: "No, my cousin Zhizhi has already told me how to store it. It won't go bad after eating it during the New Year, not to mention that it can be made into sweet potato vermicelli."

"General, is your cousin so good? Can you make sweet potato noodles?"

"That's for sure, my cousin is super powerful, and General Ben can also make sweet potato vermicelli."

Then, Su Zhiming went on blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah about his cousin.

Completely forgot what he himself said, should not discuss his cousin or anything.

The soldiers listened with relish and asked a few questions from time to time.

Seeing such an active grandson, the old marquis also comforted him with the confidence of the soldiers and soldiers.

After planting sweet potatoes, he went back to Luocheng and told the old emperor that he should disarm and return to the fields.

Compared with the Su family army in the western army camp, the Jiang family army in the northern army camp is even more miserable!

In previous years, there was the Marquis of Anding who went to the old emperor to cry in front of the poor, and the army was not paid enough.

The Ministry of Household squeezed a bit of food for them like squeezing toothpaste, and they were barely able to maintain it.

This year, for some unknown reason, the Marquis of Anding suddenly stopped asking for military pay!

They settled on the North Houfu family, the sons-in-law from the household department, and they even more unscrupulously deducted food.

As a result, Jiang Rui's father Dingbei Houye was so angry that he could only write to his mother, crying that their soldiers had not eaten enough for a long time!

Grandmother Jiang Rui knew that Jiang Rui would go to Xiao Jingheng's yard for dinner every day, and she would meet the prince of Andinghoufu.

"Rui'er, you can ask about it from the side, why is the Marquis of Anding not asking for military pay this year?"

"Hey! Grandmother, this grandson knows! My sister-in-law taught her grandfather to hunt animals and sell silver to buy food, and even brought them to grow sweet potatoes..."

"Rui'er, why did your wife tell you this? Such an important thing?"

"Hey! Jing Heng is my best friend, and they didn't avoid grandchildren when they discussed anything."

"Then you didn't expect your father to be so hungry in the north?"

"Hey! Grandma, I'm sorry! Grandson really doesn't know! Didn't you let me interfere with the military camp?"

"Hey! It's all my grandmother's fault. I want to leave a way out, and I won't hurt you no matter what!"

"Grandmother, how can I blame you! I'll ask my wife tomorrow if I can still grow sweet potatoes."

"It's almost April now, and everything to be planted in the village has been planted!"

"I heard Mrs.-in-law say that sweet potatoes can be grown for two seasons, but I didn't know the details!"

"If you can still plant, then your father will be able to eat enough after working hard for a few months!"

"Grandmother, my father can eat enough now! Su Jiajun borrowed sweet potatoes, bacon, etc. from my wife at the beginning..."

"Rui'er, is it true? Your eldest brother and Su Shizi often hang out together and don't know?"

"Su Shizi himself doesn't know!"
