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, occupying the land of a state. Why? It's just a pain for you. The people of Xiaoshe don't get together to drink, and there is less drinking. Chance."
Niu Gao opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but couldn't. In the military, you are not allowed to drink alcohol while doing official business. This often lasts for several days, sometimes even more than ten days. The days are really difficult. But Wang Xiaolie was very self-disciplined, what could Niu Gao say?
Cao Zhiyan stretched 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 needs to be done? All you need to do is to read these documents, sir." do what!"
Liu Ye on the side whispered: "Gen Zheng, 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. After greeting him, he 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! In the army now, you guys 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 are even asked 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 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, doesn't the commander know?"
Yan Yi said: "After being taught in the army for several months, 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 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 a team leader, but I still want my subordinates to read documents while I listen! If so, who would listen to me!"
Yan Yi was surprised. The other teams are all doing well, so why do they have to worry about so many things here? After thinking about it, I was not his immediate boss, so why bother? Said: "I have no control over what you want to do. I'm just saying that if you need me when recording later, I can help. It's up to the team leader 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. Several people shook their heads together: "It's not easy to get out of the army. How dare you break the rules?"
Guan Shen snorted coldly. Said: "Whoever comes with me, let's go out together. Have a drink today, 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, he 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 troops are stationed around Ruzhou, cutting down trees and surrounding them. It's just that it can't be closely guarded, and people often climb over the wooden wall to get out of the city.
Unless there are guards everywhere like a prison, how can an army of thousands of people not show up? If you take it too seriously, the atmosphere will be too solemn and the people in the army will be in a bad mood. If you are not strict, you will remember that discipline is in vain. The sense of propriety is a test for 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: "Commander, 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. I picked up a wine flag outside and a big shed inside. There were so many diners under the shed that it was almost packed. Many boys were walking among the crowd.
Pointing to the wine shop, Guan Shen said: "No need to ask, it must be where. Come on, let's go have a taste."
When the three of them arrived at the wine shop, they saw a wooden sign beside the door with more than a dozen dishes written on it. Guan Shen looked at it for a while, but couldn't recognize it completely. But I generally know that what they sell here is noodles, as well as dishes to go with wine.
Guan Shen said: "Since arriving in Ruzhou, Zhizhou has made several dishes, and the people like them very much. One of them is noodles, which come in various colors and many ways to eat them. I think they sell noodles here too, I don't know. What a trick."
Liu Ye said: "Look at what's written here, they sell knife-shaped noodles. I don't know how to slice 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 and take their order. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, the boy came and went back and forth several times, but did not come to say hello. Guan Shen waited anxiously, grabbed the boy who came over, and said, "Why don't you come to 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."
Guan Shen listened and looked at the counter over there. There were several customers lined up in front of a table. On the other side, there is a row of large basins filled with various kinds of cooked food. Next to the cooked food is a huge wine vat.
After letting the boy go, Guan Shen said: "This newly opened shop has so many rules!"
After saying that, he led the three of them to the table where they were ordering noodles. After waiting for a while, the people in front just bought it, and Guan Shen came to the table. Asked: "What kind of noodles do you have here? What's the price?"
The person behind the table looked up at Guan Shen. Said: "There are only knife-cut noodles here. They are divided into mutton, pork, and eggs. Mutton and pork are all ten cents, and eggs are eight cents. If you want to use wine and food, go over there to buy them."
Guan Shen said: "Who wants to eat eggs? The one who gave us three bowls of mutton was full!"
The man 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, 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, but when he saw that there were more than a dozen boys in the shop, he couldn't beat him, so he had to suppress his anger. He took out thirty cents and received three brands in his hand. He took the three of them to the place selling wine and vegetables nearby.
I saw that the vegetables sold here include large pieces of pork, which are cooked extremely plump and put in big pots. On the side were chunks of bone-in lamb. There are also braised tofu, sheep's trotters, pork liver, pig intestines, etc., as well as a large pot of tea eggs.
Asked the price. Pork and mutton are both thirty cents each, and tofu, sheep's trotters, etc. are cheap and cost ten cents each. Tea eggs are the cheapest, only three yuan each. There are also cold dishes on the other side, which are nothing more than lotus roots, cucumbers, etc., which are also ten cents each.
After hearing the price, Guan Shen said: "Straight mother-in-law, the prices of the food here are so expensive!"
The boy behind said: "Sir, this is a large piece of meat. How do you calculate its price? The current price of meat outside is more than 100 yuan per pound. How many pieces can you make per pound? We are a government business here. It’s good value for money.”
Guan Shen thought for a while and ordered three large pieces of mutton. I ordered two more cold dishes, one braised tofu and one lotus root. A jug of wine over there costs ten cents, so I asked for a jug first.
At this time, not many people eat pork or mutton in the water. And it’s simple to make, but the taste is really unflattering. The price is not high and the people are not in the habit of eating it. However, the sesame here is carefully stewed, but diners are 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 finishing speaking, he poured a bowl of wine and drank it.
Liu Ye also poured wine. Looking at Guan Shen, he asked cautiously: "What do you want to do?"
Guan Shen said: "Let's drink. After we finish drinking, we will discuss it again."
