Chapter 29 Deserters

Looking at the chief executive's hall, where Wang Xiaolie was watching the drill plan drawn up by several people, Niu Gao said: "Zhizhou is really made of iron. After so many days here, I have hardly seen him take a rest."

Shao Ling said: "That's what the people of Xiaoshe are like. Otherwise, in a few months, hundreds of people will become thousands, and they will occupy the land of a state. Why? It's just a pain for you. The people of Xiaoshe will not drink together and drink less."

Chance."

Niu Gao opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he couldn't. In the army, drinking was not allowed when doing business. It often lasted for several days, sometimes even more than ten days. The days were really difficult. But Wang Xiaolie was very self-disciplined.

What can Niu Gao say?

Cao Zhiyan stretched out and said, "I'm really tired after three days of staying up. Let's go back quickly and have a good nap!"

While talking, several people left the state office. Niu Gao made an appointment with Li Nong and Yu Huan to go drinking together, while the others went back to sleep.

On the third day, in the barracks, Guan Shen pointed at the documents and said loudly: "What word is this? Which one is written, we can't understand it, what is the use of writing it? What to do, the officer only needs to say a word and read these documents

do what!"

Liu Ye on the side whispered: "Team up, this is the order of the governor, and the whole army is the same."

Guan Shen said bitterly: "We use swords and guns in the war, but the magistrate asked us to read. How can we go to the battlefield with an awl? I only know dozens of words in a few months, how can I understand the documents!"

Seeing Guan Shen's angry face, Liu Ye and several others did not dare to speak and lowered their heads.

At this moment, Yan Yi came in. He greeted him and said, "When will your team discuss it? The results of the discussion must be written down. If there are not many people who can read, let me know and I will write it for you."

Guan Shen sneered: "It's so funny! Now in the army, you who can read a few words are the most popular! When we go into battle, the knife-head drinks blood, but it turns out to be useless. The documents can't be read, and you even have to remember what was discussed.

!”

Yan Yi was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "What are you talking about? This is a military rule. Everything must be written on paper, in black and white, and cannot be denied. I didn't make this rule, so why bother?"

Guan Shen said: "I can't even read all the words on the document that was handed out. Who knows what to do? The document can't be understood, so what are we talking about! We people can't read, don't the superiors know?"

Yan Yi said: "After several months of teaching in the army, you can always read some words. Even if you can't read them all, everyone in the team can always understand them. Didn't I say it a few days ago that if the team leader doesn't know many words?

, just choose one of your men who can read well as a clerk."

Guan Shen said: "It's so funny! I am the leader of the team, but I still want my subordinates to read documents while I listen! If so, who would listen to me!"

Yan Yi felt surprised. The other teams were doing well, so why did he have to worry about so many things here? After thinking about it, he was not his immediate boss, so why bother? He said: "What you want to do, I can't control. I

I’m just saying that if you need me when recording later, I can help. It’s up to the team to decide how to do it.”

After saying that, he cupped his hands and walked away.

Looking at Yan Yi's back, Guan Shen spat hard.

Liu Ye whispered: "Captain, what should we do?"

Guan Shen said: "Don't think so much now, just follow me and drink!"

Liu Ye looked at the other people. They all shook their heads: "It's not easy to get out of the army. How dare you break the rules?"

Guan Shen snorted coldly and said: "Whoever comes with me, let's go out together. Let's have a drink today and don't worry about the rest!"

Seeing that Guan Shen looked serious, two of them stood up and were willing to follow Guan Shen. Together with Liu Ye, they followed Guan Shen out of the military camp.

Wang Xiaolie wanted to build a closed military camp, but the time was too short and it was too late. Now the army is stationed around Ruzhou and cut down trees to surround it. However, it cannot be closely monitored, and people often climb over the wooden wall to leave the city.

Unless there are guards everywhere like a prison, how can an army of thousands of people not reveal anything? If the guards are too strict, the atmosphere will be too solemn and the people in the army will be in a bad mood. If the guards are not strict, discipline will be forgotten.

It is in name only. The sense of propriety is a test for the officers.

Guan Shen led three people, climbed over a wooden wall not far away, and entered Ruzhou City.

Walking on the street, Liu Ye said: "Team Zheng, where are we going?"

Guan Shen said: "I heard that a wine shop has opened not far away. The drinks are good and the food is cheap. Let's go and take a look."

The three of them walked not far along the street and saw a shop at the corner of the street. There was a wine flag outside, and there was a big shed inside. There were many diners under the shed, and it was almost crowded. Many young men were walking among the crowd.

Pointing to the wine shop, Guan Shen said: "No need to ask, it must be where. Let's go and have a taste."

When the three of them arrived at the wine shop, they saw a wooden sign next to the door, with more than a dozen dishes written on it. Guan Shen looked at it for a while, but couldn't recognize it all. But he roughly knew that noodles were sold here, and there were also dishes to go with wine.

.

Guan Shen said: "Since arriving in Ruzhou, Zhizhou has made several dishes, which the people like very much. One of them is noodles, which come in various colors and many ways to eat them. I think they sell noodles here, but I don't know.

What a trick."

Liu Yedao: "Look at what's written here, they sell knife-cut noodles. I don't know how to cut them."

"Is that the word 'cut'? I thought it looked familiar, but unfortunately I didn't recognize it." Guan Shen looked at it again and shook his head.

After entering the shop, the three of them found a seat and waited for the waiter to come over to order. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, the waiter came and went back and forth several times but did not come to say hello. Guan Shen was anxious about waiting and grabbed him.

The boy who came over said, "Why don't you come and greet us?"

The waiter hurriedly said: "Sir, we are just delivering noodles and not greeting guests. Are you here for the first time? Go there to buy noodles. After you pay the money, you will receive a sign. Put the sign on the table and we will deliver it to you.

Come on. If you want some food and wine, go to the other side and buy some."

After hearing this, Guan Shen looked at the counter over there. In front of a table, there were several customers lined up. On the other side, there was a row of large basins filled with various kinds of cooked food. Next to the cooked food, there was a huge wine vat.

After letting the boy go, Guan Shen said: "This newly opened shop has so many rules!"

After saying that, he took the three of them to the table where they were ordering noodles. After waiting for a while, the people in front finished buying, and Guan Shen came to the table and asked, "What kind of noodles do you have here? What's the price?"

The person behind the table raised his head and glanced at Guan Shen. He said: "There are only knife-cut noodles here. They are divided into mutton, pork, and eggs. Mutton, pork, and eggs are all ten cents, and eggs are eight cents. If you want to use wine and food, go over there to buy them.

go."

Guan Shen said: "Who wants to eat eggs? If you give us three bowls of mutton, they will be full!"

The person behind the table said: "Don't worry, sir, we have enough noodles here. Pay here and get the sign."

Guan Shen said: "If you haven't eaten, then you have to pay first. Your noodles are not good, so what?"

The man was a little impatient: "We all have such rules. If you are worried, just don't eat."

Guan Shen was about to have an attack. Seeing that there were more than a dozen boys in the shop and he couldn't beat him, he had to suppress his anger. He took out 30 coins and received three brands in his hand. He took the three of them to the next door selling food and wine.

.

The vegetables sold here include large pieces of pork, which are cooked to be particularly plump and put in large pots. Next to them are large pieces of bone-in mutton. There are also braised tofu, sheep trotters, pork liver, pig intestines, etc.

There is a large pot of tea eggs.

I asked about the price. Pork and mutton are both thirty cents each. Tofu, sheep's trotters, etc. are cheap at ten cents each. Tea eggs are the cheapest, only three cents each. There are also cold dishes on the side, which are nothing more than lotus root, cucumber, etc., which are also ten cents.

One copy of the document.

After hearing the price, Guan Shen said: "Sweetie, the food here is so expensive!"

The boy behind said: "Sir, this is a large piece of meat. How do you calculate it's price? Now the price of meat outside is more than 100 yuan per catty. How many pieces can we make per catty? We are a government business here.

It’s good quality and cheap.”

Guan Shen thought for a while and ordered three large pieces of mutton. He also ordered two cold dishes, one braised tofu, and one lotus root. A pot of wine over there also costs ten cents, so he ordered a pot first.

At this time, whether it is pork or mutton, there are not many people eating offal. Moreover, the method is simple, and the taste is really unflattering. The price is not high, and people are not in the habit of eating it. However, the offal here is stewed with care, and only diners

I'm just not used to it yet.

After carrying it back to the table, Guan Shen touched his arms and said, "Sister-in-law, after eating this meal, my pocket will be empty! Now that the army is like this, how can we survive?"

After saying that, he poured a bowl of wine and drank it.

Liu Ye also poured the wine. He looked at Guan Shen and asked carefully: "What do you want to do?"
