Chapter 700

The food delivery team is walking very fast. Now the weather is not warm. Everyone wants to send it and come back quickly. No one is willing to delay on the road.

As soon as Xu Qing got on the carriage, he began to sleep. Last night, he made steamed buns and pies all night, thinking that he had nothing to do on the carriage, just for sleeping.

At noon, the team stopped to have a rest, and the horses also had to drink water and eat some fodder.

When he left, Xu Qing said that he had prepared all the people's dry food. Now Xiao Liu unloaded the stove on the carriage and added firewood to make a fire.

Add clean snow into the iron pot. After the snow melts into water and boils, put on a three-layer steamer. Take out enough frozen steamed buns and pies and put them into the steamer. Steam them for half a column of fragrant time.

Steamed stuffed buns and pies are cooked. They only need steaming, which saves a lot of time.

The firewood in the stove was burning very well. Xiao Liu threw three pieces of charcoal into it. When the charcoal was red, he put it into the small charcoal stove, which was big in his hand, and then sent it to Xu Qing's carriage.

"Give me two steamed buns with three delicacies and two steamed buns with mushrooms and vegetables later."

"Yes, ma'am."

Xu Qing put a small pot on a small charcoal stove and added some spring water. After boiling, he put down three frozen dumplings and three frozen fish balls, and then added some shrimps, laver and scallions to cook together.

Here, Xiao Liu brought the steamed bun, and the heat was dispersed within a few steps.

Xu Qing and a Ying finished two steamed buns, and the dumplings in the small pot are almost cooked.

Little dragonfly has been sitting in the carriage for a long time. She always wants to go out and play with snow. Xu Qing coaxes her to have a good meal and gives her play. When a pot of dumplings and fish balls are eaten, Xu Qing asks Xiao Liu to fill half a bucket of clean snow and pinch a few snowmen and rabbits with snow for little dragonfly.

Little dragonflies are also afraid of the cold. They only dare to touch the little snowmen with gloves. Xu Qing names six little snowmen and plays the game of passing the house with little dragonflies.

If you don't sing to me, I won't play with you

Little dragonflies can only sing little white rabbits white and white.

After singing, Xu Qing plays Huahua little snowman and praises the little Dragonfly for its good singing. Then Diandian little snowman's rap is not as good as it is.

"Little dragonfly, do you want to hear Diandian sing?" Asked Xu Qing.

"Yes

"Cough, I'm going to start singing."

"Little mouse, on the lampstand, steal oil to eat, can't get down, meow meow, the cat is coming, grunt and roll down ~" little snowman complacently said, "do I sing well?"

"Ma Ma sing!"

"OK, Ma Ma teaches you to sing."

Then the little Dragonfly learned another children's song in the boring rush.

The carriage is not so soundproof. The little guy's immature and clumsy singing seems to add a trace of warmth to the cold weather, which makes Xiao Liu feel happy again and again.

The closer we got to Yuzhou, the colder it was. The time to stop on the way back was shorter and shorter. Everyone was in a hurry. It was only when we were approaching Yuzhou that we were relieved.

In Yuzhou City, there were people from Qinglong mountain who came to take care of the food. After Zhao Jian's men handed over the food to each other, they planned to have a good rest in Yuzhou City for two days and then go back.

Xu Qing and they have no time to stop, follow the team of Qinglongshan set out again.

Just as they were out of the gate, Li Changting and Duanmu Xiang came on horseback, just in time to meet Xu Qing.

In the eyes of outsiders, the general and his wife have not seen each other for several months. At this time, it should be thunder and fire. At least there will be a deep embrace.

Li Changting dismounted into the carriage, a Ying came out on the horse of Duanmu ring, the team continued to move forward.

The thick curtain covered the carriage, and they could not see what was happening inside. Xiao Liu and they were even more conscious to stay away from the carriage, so as not to hear anything they shouldn't listen to.

I don't know why, Mingming was still eating and chatting in the space last night, but now we have a feeling of trance and palpitation.

Perhaps the external environment is not the same, the feeling is not the same, the couple looked at each other, suddenly embarrassed to stagger.

The only one unaffected is little dragonfly. She enthusiastically pours into Li Changting's arms and gives dad a kiss full of milk.

Li Changting moved to Xu Qing's side, and then quietly put people in his arms. There was nothing to say all the way, but the atmosphere was very warm.

Duanmu Xiang takes a Ying on horseback and introduces all the places around him. He wanders around here when he's idle. Some of the porcelains in the official kilns are pretty good, and others are not so interesting.

All the way to Qinglong mountain was smooth.

It can be said that it is an iron rule that the female dependents are not allowed to enter the military camp. Li Changting can only resettle Xu Qing to civilian areas. In the cave not far from the military camp, the ten escorts did not go back. They all stayed to protect their safety.

Although Duanmu Xiang was in the military camp to see a doctor, he was not a member of the military camp. At most, he was a foreign aid invited by Li Changting. He came and went at will.

So a Ying and Duanmu ring live in the cave next to Xu Qing. With Duanmu ring, Li Changting is more relieved.The grain sent by zhezhou is the third batch of grain this year. There are more and more grain coming later, but the quantity is less and less.

Unfortunately, Li Changting will lead his troops back to the military region in a few days. In a short time, situ Xiao may lead a surprise attack. He needs to go back early to prepare, but Xu Qing can't follow him there.

"Who will take over Qinglong mountain?" Asked Xu Qing.

"Yin Xianghui sent officials to come here. After all, more than 80000 people here are homeless, and they may be allowed to stay in Qinglong mountain to farm at that time. Of course, those who don't want to stay can leave by themselves." Li Changting returned.

Xu Qing nodded: "farming is good, but even if farming, food can not grow so quickly, during how to solve the problem of eating?"

Li Changting: "the imperial court will distribute silver for disaster relief. It will last until April at least. At that time, we will plant grain and vegetables, and we should be able to find some food in the mountains."

This time, among the grains sent by zhezhou, there are potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn that were harvested in the space some time ago. They are only planted in the second crop. How to say, they have to wait more than a month before they can be harvested.

Xu Qing thought about it and said, "we used to grow potatoes and vegetables in bamboo baskets during natural disasters. It's OK here."

But Li Changting shook his head: "the soil here is still frozen, the temperature is too low, the seeds can not sprout, you see the snow outside."

The snow outside is still a few meters thick. It's sunny outside, but there is no snow melting.

Xu Qing sighed: "well, the climate is different. It seems that we can't follow suit."

Li Changting: "you don't have to worry about this. It's not a headache for you. Even me, I can't take the responsibility of 80000 people. All that can be done has been done. Now the only way is to recover the border town as soon as possible."
