Zhu Huilan no longer regards herself as a woman. She moves stones, chops wood, and rammed earth like men. She almost forgot that she learned to twist her waist and plays the wind before she was seventeen years old. She didn't care to wipe her hands. She would try her best to squeeze out the crowd and grab her own steamed buns from the big vine basket of the Fire Head Army. If anyone dares to take advantage of her, she will raise the stone like a man. At present, she is struggling to carry two baskets of earth and stones and move forward step by step.

For fairness, Xin Gu divided the households under his jurisdiction into five squads, including transporting soil and stones, building walls, chopping wood, cutting grass, and digging rat food. Among them, digging rat food is the easiest, and the rat food dug belongs to the households themselves. The soldiers did not bother to draw 30% of them here, and moving soil and stones was the most tiring, and even a strong man could not bear it.

Although the soldiers who supervised the military officers saw that Zhu Huilan was a woman, they didn't let her fill the basket, Zhu Huilan was already very troubled. Her waist was originally slender, and she was carrying a bow-shaped shoulder on her round shoulder, swaying like an unstable scale, asking the people next to her to sweat and avoid it from afar, fearing that the basket full of earth and stone would accidentally hit her. Most of the only 4,000 healthy women in Lanzhou had found men in almost a month. These heavy physical work were naturally borne by those men who had the beauty back, while Zhu Huilan was alone.

Knowing her family affairs, brothel women, laundry yards, can she still marry someone? Even if the man doesn't mind, she hates the man and woman affairs. She doesn't want to be a chaste woman. She now has a small house to live in. Although it's cold, she sleeps soundly and no longer suffers from endless troubles by those men who are like wolves and tigers. For Zhu Huilan, she has nothing to ask for. So even though the person who is brides through the threshold, she just refuses to allow her. After a long time, the person who is asking for a marriage will not come. She is just a lonely woman and has to bear the hard work that the man originally did.

In order to prevent water accumulation, the sheep house was built on a hillside. Zhu Huilan used all her strength and walked up the slope with earth and stones. Suddenly, her feet slipped and she would fall if she couldn't bear it. People fell down with heavy burdens, and they were most likely to twist their waists and legs. They were uphill again, and they could also break their tendons and fracture. In an instant, her mind was blank, and she felt that the sky was spinning and she no longer had the strength to stabilize her body. At this moment, someone behind her held her shoulder. Although the heavy load of earth and stones could not be restrained and scattered on the ground, Zhu Huilan

But she didn't fall down. She felt a broad palm steadily holding her shoulders and holding the other hand on her waist. Zhu Huilan, who had not had a man for a long time, couldn't help but blushed. She took off the man's control half a step forward, and turned around and saw that it was her military boss. She was a woman among a large number of men and porters. She had been seen by Xin Gu for a long time and was secretly concerned. Sure enough, when she was going uphill, she took time to rescue her. She blushed and flashed. Xin Gu also knew that this was the habit of men and women in Han areas who were not kissing her, and she didn't hate her.

"I thanked Jun Ye." Zhu Huilan didn't dare to raise her head. After Jian Ren thanked her, she panickedly picked up the earth and rocks scattered on the ground. For some reason, she was always afraid of seeing this boss, and every time she saw him, there was no good thing. Could it be that it was really a grievance in her previous life? When she thought of the grievance, her pretty face turned slightly red, and she didn't dare to look up at that person, and she felt a little confused and sad.

Although she was weak, her hands and feet were very quick. Soon, she put all the scattered earth and stones into the basket, gently lowered her body and drilled under the shoulder pole between the baskets, bit her lips tightly, and stood up hard. Huh? Why is it not as difficult as usual? Zhu Huilan was still confused. She was about to move forward, but she found that the shoulder pole was firmly in her hand. The man really had a brute force. With both hands stretched out and held the shoulder pole that almost crushed her waist in the air.

"I have done this heavy work of moving soil and stones for you. Go and find some wild vegetables and rat food." Xin Gu said in a dark face and gently put the shoulder pole on his shoulder. The load was not as heavy as the armor in his body. He walked up the hillside with windy strode, leaving Zhu Huilan standing on the slope in a daze, letting the breeze gently blow her hair.

This day coincides with the Xiaohan in the twenty-four solar terms, which indicates that the coldest period of the year is coming. In order to inspire the military and civilians to complete the construction of livestock houses and store grass before heavy snow fell, Chen Dete ordered each camp to slaughter twenty sheep and have a banquet for one night.

Because the project progress of the cavalry camp was faster than that of other camps, Xin Gu ordered the work to stop early. The military and civilians sat in five circles in total, set up ten large pots, and Xin Gu took the steps to peel the sheep and washed them. Ten pieces of lamb were chopped into large pieces of lamb, and the wild vegetables picked by the households during the day, and various spices were stewed into mutton fragrant pots. The other ten were made of sharp wooden sticks and placed on the fire to roast the whole lamb. Xin Gu, who was a royal chef in Liao Kingdom, personally guided the military soldiers to season them, making the twenty sheep really fragrant and flowed into the fields. Lamb can best drive away the cold. The soldiers and households worked hard in the cold wind for many days, gathered by the blazing bonfire. When smelling the fragrant mutton smell, they felt warm and not feeling the hard work.

"Brother," Sun Gouzi brought a large piece of mutton soup to his soldiers in the army. The soldier was named Yan Gao, a native of Jiangyin. He smiled and took the soup bowl and praised: "The skills of our lieutenant are beyond words. What is even more rare is this kind of intention. What scholars say? A gentleman stays away from the kitchen and farts!" Seeing Sun Gouzi looking at the meat soup in his hand with a long eye, he cursed: "You're greedy, let's get your own. I'll tell the lieutenant Xin to see the soldiers serving the soldiers in the family. You're deliberately scolding me, right?" He said that he was about to kick him, and Sun Gouzi hurriedly took his own bowl to serve the soup as if he was ordered by the emperor. Yan Gao smiled and looked at his back nodding and bowing, and took a sip of the fragrant meat soup. He felt so beautiful.

On the other side, Zhu Huilan carefully held a piece of roasted lamb, with fine salt, cumin and pepper sprinkled on the browned skin. It was so fragrant. She took a bite and burned it. She hadn't eaten meat for a long time. She forgot that the oily skin sealed the heat below and almost burned her tongue a blister. Zhu Huilan hurriedly spitted the lamb into the palm of her hand, and saw that no one was paying attention to it. After blowing it cool, she put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully. Xin Gu was proud to enjoy the compliment of the centurions under her subordinates, suddenly a commander guard came over: "Where is Captain Xin?" "Some family is here, what's the commander looking for me?" Xin Gu was born in the Yajun Clerk and recognized the guard as Huang Xuan, who was a scholar, so he stopped him and asked.

"The commander-in-chief invites Captain Xin to come to the city to have a banquet!" As soon as Huang Xuan said this, all the centuries were happy and praised. The commander-in-chief said that the commander-in-chief believed in Captain Xin so much that he did not forget to call him up after having a meal.

After hearing Chen De's call, Xin Gu did not dare to neglect it. He ordered several centuries to maintain the order of the dinner party tonight, and to divide the meat evenly, so that the soldiers and the people would not feel resentful. The centuries agreed with a smile and urged him to go to the banquet soon. Xin Gu left. When he came to the commander's mansion, he saw that there was no one else, so that only commander Chen De, mistress Huang Wen and another beautiful woman sat around the fire. Because of the festival, Chen De put all his personal guards back to Ya Military Camp for a banquet, and only asked Huang Xuan to chant Xin Gu over.

It turned out that during the Little Cold solar term tonight, Huang Wen couldn't bear to be alone in Zhou Hou, so she specially invited her to have a banquet with Chen De. Chen De planned to rescue Li Yu from the camera in the future and let him reunite his husband. Therefore, in order to prevent others from talking to you, he deliberately avoided the opportunity to be alone with Zhou Hou. So he asked Xin Gu to avoid the intention of being in charge of unreasonable speculation, and also preserved the reputation of Zhou Hou.

He first chatted with Huang Wen and Zhou Hou casually. When Xin Gu stepped in, he stood up and laughed and said, "Brother Xin, I've been looking forward to you."

"The commander summoned the last general, don't know what?" Xin Gu saw that there were no other military generals present, bowed and asked. This question made Chen De feel a little embarrassed. He coughed dryly, approached and whispered: "You know that Captain Xin. This general has had a bitter and bitter taste with his soldiers. He has not tasted the meat for ten days. Today, he finally started to eat meat once, but it was not easy to waste the best fresh mutton. I specially asked Captain Xin to come here for advice. You don't need to do it, just give advice from the side." After saying that, Xin Gu came to a charcoal fire, with a good lamb leg next to it, and all kinds of seasonings were ready, just waiting for the chef to barbecue.

Xin Gu smiled without realizing it and said in a deep voice: "It's better to let the general come to roast it yourself. The adults just need to accompany the mother of the mistress." Although he was a Khitan and had been in the Han area for a long time, he probably knew that the Han people were very strict in their divisions. He didn't realize that barbecue was a kind of humiliation as a general, so he made this suggestion. Chen De waved his hands repeatedly and said: "How can this cause the generals to go out? Wouldn't it make the brothers feel upset?" Regardless of whether Xin Gu understood the relationship between barbecue and Han Xin, he forced him to push him to the side and did the lamb leg by himself. Xin Gu had no choice but to patiently explain the barbecue method to him.

Not far away, Huang Wen smiled and watched her husband grinning her lamb legs carefully. When Zhou Hou saw her, she felt a little confused. Not only did she say that the respect of a vassal state was the chef, but she also brought a general to accompany her. Fortunately, this person was not the emperor, otherwise he would have been written in history books. However, there are all kinds of strange people in this world. During the Jin Dynasty, wouldn’t the prince Sima Yu who set up a stall to cut meat and sell wine in the palace?

As the saying goes, it is not difficult for those who are good at it, but it is not difficult for those who are difficult. With a master like Xin Gu, Chen De's lamb leg is also roasted like a look, with a crispy outside and tender inside, and a golden color. With Xin Gu brushing some spices from time to time, it is so delicious that it makes people swallow their tongues. Chen De cut four portions of the good meat on the lamb leg and distributed it to Huang Wen. Zhou Hou, Xin Gu each of them, and he also kept one.
