Chapter 2297 Division of Credit

General Ma also followed Jiang Wangang.

He was sent to Duchonggou by Xu You, but he has never been able to enter the Death Soldier Camp. Thinking that he would be embarrassed by being taken by General Jiang to do things this time, he took the opportunity to ask: "General, I'm afraid Sanlang If we have to stay in Changliang Guard for a while, what should we do with the training of the Death Soldier Battalion? We can’t delay it, right?”

Jiang Wankang said: "I will keep an eye on it personally, so you don't have to worry."

Well, one sentence stopped all General Ma's words. He sighed inwardly. It seemed that General Jiang still couldn't trust him.

Jiang Wangang stopped his horse and looked at General Ma: "Old Ma, we have known each other for more than ten years, and we know each other's character well. You work well in Duchonggou, I will not treat you badly, nor will I betray the Marquis... ...As for not letting you take care of the Death Soldier Camp, I want to leave something for Meng Hong. He has been with me since he was a child, and now he is almost thirty, I can't let him have nothing."

General Ma thought of Jiang Wankang's suicide note to Xu You. With this move, he really gave everything he had worked for his whole life to the Marquis, while Meng Hong got nothing.

So he was silent for a while and said: "Since the general said so, then I believe it."

Jiang Wangang smiled: "Thank you very much."

After saying that, he hit the horse again and set off.

General Ma is still following behind, wondering what is he thinking?

…

After seeing General Jiang off, Chang Liang Wei was also preparing for the winter solstice worship.

This time it was just a routine worship ceremony, not the big ceremony just after the war. Therefore, we only had to eat cold food during the day of the winter solstice, and we could eat hot food after the unitary hour, so it was not too uncomfortable.

The old wife is responsible for making cold food with her relatives. After the cold food is out of the pot, she shouts: "The flour cake is steamed, quickly apply the red seal, and after coating, wrap the flour cake with leaves, two at a time!" "

One bundle is a portion for one person. When it is divided equally, one bundle is given to one person.

The cold food was simple, and the family members were quick to prepare the cold food for the entire health center in just half a day.

Dang, Dang, Dang!

"It's cold food, every household should come and line up to get cold food!" Lin Tongshan's daughter-in-law shouted while beating the gong.

After hearing this, the family members who were busy making sacrifices and building altars hurriedly called to their children: "Hurry up and get the cold food. Don't jump in line. You will be punished for jumping in line. Don't eat secretly. After eating, you will starve during the day tomorrow!"

"We already know the rules, no need to nag." The children responded and ran to get cold food.

Sister Xiao secretly made cold food at home, made a basket, and gave money to celebrate: "Hurry, take it and sell it to Mr. Chi for five taels of silver each. We won't sell it for less than five taels!"

Good guy, you are so greedy.

Qian Qinghe took the basket and said, "Wait a minute, your husband and I are very eloquent. I will make up some stories for him about fighting against the enemy. Not to mention five taels, I can sell ten taels for a piece of cold food!"

Carrying a basket on his back, he walked out of the guardhouse in a majestic manner and found Chi Shiyi selling cold food.

The couple had a wonderful dream, but after hearing this, Chi Shiyi was so angry that he almost jumped up, pointed at the money and celebrated: "What are you talking about, these broken noodles cost five taels of silver each? Are you crazy or am I crazy?" crazy?"

Qian Qinghe's heart pounded when he heard this. It seemed that this product was not easy to deceive. He smiled and said: "This is a cold food made from the worshiped cereal noodles. It contains the heroic souls of the soldiers who fought against the army. Naturally, it cannot be compared with ordinary noodles." .”

Chi Shishi said: "Don't tell people such lies, it's too expensive, I won't buy it!"

What, the price has been reduced for you and still it’s still too expensive?

You are a relative of the emperor, are you so poor? !

Hey, Chi Shiyi is really poor. He won't even buy five hundred coins, let alone five taels of cold food!

Chi Shiyi: "You can take it, I won't buy it. After the worship tomorrow, I will ask Qin Qianhu if he wants some cold food so that he won't be hungry."

Qian Qinghe was shocked and said hurriedly: "... Mr. Chi, you are a relative of the emperor, how can you beg for food? Besides, tomorrow you will also use cold food to worship the souls of the soldiers. You can't worship with empty hands, right? Then Wouldn’t it be a disgrace to the Emperor?”

He was also afraid that Chi Shiyi would say, 'Then I'll ask Qin Qianhu for cold food right now', so he hurriedly said: "Let's do it, one hundred cash for each cold food, plus a sacrifice, it's a good deal."

Zhang Er pulled Chi Shiyi away and whispered: "Mr. Chi, buy it, just as a favor to Qin Qianhu."

Chi Shiyi thought that he would still have to rely on Chang Liangwei's cassava to get credit, so he agreed, but he was not willing to buy more: "Just one for each person."

He only brought about twenty people, and he spent two and a half taels of silver, which was enough.

But Sister Xiao made baskets of cold food, one hundred in total, and Qian Qinghe said a lot of good things. Chi Shiyi didn't buy any more, so he could only carry the remaining cold food back.

Sister Xiao got furious and cursed the money to celebrate: "You useless thing, you only sell it for a hundred cents each, and you come back with more than half of the basket. How do you eat this? Go out again quickly and sell out all these baskets of cold food!" "

Qian Qing celebrated: "Who are you selling it to? Everyone in the health center has cold food, who will spend money to buy it from you!"

The two were quarreling fiercely. Uncle Qin came back. Brother Xiaogui ran to call him back. When he came back, he robbed them of the two and a half taels of silver they had sold for selling cold food: "Things that don't grow, even for winter solstice worship." Plan, kneel down for two hours before you can get up. This basket of cold food is your ration for this period of time. Three pieces a day is enough for a month. During this month, you can't even think about eating food at home! "

Sister Xiao and Qian Qinghe cried and shouted: "Father/Father-in-law, we know we were wrong, don't let us eat cold food for a month, we will starve to death."

"Hmph, I haven't seen you belch before after eating soybeans for a month. There is no need to discuss this matter. If you don't eat enough cold food for a month, I want you to look good!" Uncle Qin was really angry... In this land in the northwest, Too many of his comrades and relatives have died, and he cannot tolerate their plotting during winter worship.

He also taught them: "You are living people, you must respect those who died in the war, and you cannot use them to make calculations. This is your first offender. Next time, don't call me daddy. Let's separate our families completely. You can go there on your own." !”

Sister Xiao and Qian Qinghe were scared to death and did not dare to cry anymore, so they could only endure it.

Uncle Qin took brother Xiaogui's hand and left, praising him: "Our brother is still sensible. He knows right from wrong at a young age."

Brother Xiaogui was very happy to be praised. When he saw his parents glaring at him, he shouted: "Grandpa, parents..."

Scared, Qian Qingqing and his wife hurriedly said, "My son is sensible, and my parents are very pleased!"

Brother Xiaogui smiled and followed Uncle Qin away happily.

Early the next morning, the people in the guardhouse got up early, drank some water, and began to worship when the time came.

The worship ceremony is solemn and long. It lasts from morning until noon before the entire worship ceremony is completed.

Everyone sat around in front of the altar again, and after having a cold meal, they went home.

On the second day of the winter solstice, before dawn, Niu Dabao and Xie Chengcheng led their troops and horses, pulling cassava to Changliang Wei. Qin Sanlang hurried to pick them up.

Xie Cheng explained the purpose of his visit: "General Jiang asked us to come. He said that after the winter solstice worship, the adults in the capital and the eunuchs should come to Chang Liang Wei. Let us bring the cassava and wait for the adults. When the time comes, It’s easy to take credit.”
