Chapter 995 3-Year Period
Then I couldn't stop eating it, it tasted better and better.
General Xu watched him eat with chopsticks one after another without stopping, looked at the dish, and said with a smile: "Isn't this purple ear vegetable? Doesn't it taste good?"
As he was about to pick up his chopsticks, Zhou Guo hurriedly said, "Dad, this thing is very strange. People who like it will love it very much, but those who don't like it will feel sick."
General Xu said, "It's just a dish. Your father and I have eaten it before. We have eaten a lot of things during the war. We eat this often."
I just don't know what it will taste like when it's on the table.
After taking a bite, his brows relaxed and he nodded, "It's delicious. Cooked this way, it really tastes ten times better."
Who who has fought in a war has not eaten this thing?
They didn't quite believe it, but they ate it all for the general's sake.
As long as you can eat this thing, you will find it easy to accept it. Even if it was something you didn't like before, after eating a few chopsticks, you will find it tastes much better.
Zhou Guo didn't know whether they were sincere or not. He just kept eating roast suckling pig, grilled skewers, tender roe deer meat, watercress wrapped in water chestnuts, wild vegetables, and meat wrapped in cabbage. His mouth was full of oil and he drank a sip of wine from time to time. It was really a life like heaven.
She hadn't eaten so freely for a long time.
Isn’t it more enjoyable to drink big bowls of wine and eat big mouthfuls of meat?
"Come, young master, thank you for your hospitality today. Otherwise, how could we eat such delicious food and drink such wine? Let us toast you a bowl."
Zhou Guo also raised his wine bowl and said, "No, no, I didn't hunt this meat alone. We all got a share. We just took advantage of it and cooked it."
Several people raised their wine bowls at the same time and were about to drink when General Xu spoke up, "Pay attention to military discipline."
Everyone was startled and put the bowl to their mouths and took a small sip. They didn't dare to clink bowls with Zhou Guo again. They had already drank it, so why should they pay attention to military discipline?
It was obvious that he was not happy with them persuading Zhou Guo to drink.
Zhou Guo took a big sip, took a bite of the zheergen, and shook his head with joy. It was so delicious!
Zhou Dacang laughed when he saw this. This is what he looks like when he eats something delicious.
The old man's eyes were also full of smiles. He felt that the military camp was not good at all. If she were outside, no one would say anything even if she drank a whole jar, let alone a bowl. But here she had to pay attention to military discipline. It seemed that she had to leave tomorrow.
Erpang and his bodyguards were also eating nearby. They had to pay attention to this side from time to time, add meat when there was no meat left, and pay attention to the meat on the fire to make sure it didn't burn.
The meal lasted until late at night. There was a blazing bonfire nearby. Zhou Guo didn't feel cold. Instead, he felt warm all over after drinking some wine.
By the end of the meal, the place was a mess. The jar of wine was finished, the roast suckling pig was eaten up, a few roe deer legs were eaten up, the meat was eaten up, and there was no more skewers.
In the end, only two musk deer legs and a pile of bones were left.
Seeing that it was getting late, General Xu asked everyone to go back to the camp and sleep, and asked Zhou Guo to go to bed early as well. "Young ladies, no matter how busy you are, you must go to bed early. Otherwise, if you stay up too late, you will become ugly and become like the rough men."
Zhou Guo was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I understand. I will definitely go to bed early."
The old man muttered to himself, he took people out to eat and drink, and then blamed them for not going to bed early. Is General Xu not very smart?
He thought so, but didn't dare to say it, so he turned around and went into his tent.
I'm going to bed.
Zhou Guo sent them away. A group of old men kept shouting that they had a great day today. They bowed to Zhou Guo and thanked her for the dinner.
Zhou Guo returned the gift, saw them off, and sat down in front of the campfire.
After Zhou Da Cang came back from seeing someone off, he also sat down and said, "Didn't I tell you to go to bed early? Why haven't you gone to bed yet? It's getting late."
Zhou Guo touched his stomach and said, "I ate a little too much. I'm so full that I need to sit down and digest the food."
Zhou Dacang picked up some firewood and added a few more pieces, saying, "We're leaving tomorrow. Are you planning to just go back like this?"
Zhou Guo glanced at him and said, "What do I want to know? You won't tell me. Isn't it a military secret? It's just that the war is about to start. Will you allow me to follow them?"
She did want to, but not only General Xu, but even he wouldn't give in.
Zhou Dacang nodded, looking at the twinkling stars in the night sky, and said in a relaxed tone: "Guoguo, within three years, we will be able to go home and visit your father and uncle. I promised you this before your grandmother passed away."
He has not forgotten his original reason for joining the army, a big part of which was to find his two brothers.
Zhou Guo immediately retracted his gaze to his face and said in surprise: "So fast? You haven't conquered a large area. This world is so big!"
Zhou Dacang said: "Since General Xu came south, every time he conquered a place, he distributed land to all the people. The people's hearts are in favor, and the army is unstoppable wherever it goes. Another thing is that the world has been in chaos for too long, and people want peace. No one wants to fight. According to the current momentum, it will take less than three years for the world to be stable."
By then, we will know whether they are alive or dead. I have been fighting and searching for them over the years, and the name of General Zhou Dacang has spread a little. If they were alive, they wouldn't have been silent for so many years."
His voice got lowered as he spoke. There had been no news for several years, so there was a high probability that this person was no longer around.
Zhou Guo said, "Not necessarily. We were farm boys before. Our family was so poor that we almost had nothing left. Even if your name became known, my father and uncle probably wouldn't dare to acknowledge you. Who could believe that a poor farm boy would become a general in just a few years, commanding tens of thousands of troops? They would definitely think you were the son of a wealthy family, but how could they dare to acknowledge you?"
Zhou Dacang thought about it and felt that it made sense. He smiled and said, "You are right. They might really think so. Then, your father and uncle might still be alive?"
Zhou Guo nodded, "I'll get busy when I get back, and slowly drive the shops and villages all the way here. If we move faster, we'll have people in these territories by the year after next. I'll go wherever you guys go, and it'll be much faster to find people this way than if you were to search on your own."
Zhou Dacang said: "Don't be too impatient. If you are impatient, you won't be able to eat hot tofu. It will hurt yourself. Take it slow."
My family's financial resources are already limited, and if I continue to take such big steps forward, I will fall to my death sooner or later.
Zhou Guo said, "I know. I'll see what happens. I've finally built up such a big business. How can I let it collapse? I have so many people working for me. If I go bankrupt, where will these people go to get food?"
As more and more people came below, she felt the burden on her shoulders getting heavier and heavier. Even though they would not starve to death without her,
