Chapter 1043: Two Thousand Soldiers

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Even the Great General had to pay to be seated in the front row. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had heard about this from Shiye, so they were not surprised at all.

Due to the addition of Xue Sanfu’s help, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s second basketof garlic bread was done very quickly and was also put on the pot to steam.

When the first basket of garlic bread was almost ready, the kitchen was filled with the unique fragrance of the garlic bread. The cooks sniffed and thought it smelled good. They even whispered to Commander Fan that they should not make pancakes tomorrow morning and make garlic bread for the soldiers in the main camp instead. However, Commander Fan said that there were 10,000 soldiers in the main camp, and that half a basket of wild garlic was not enough to feed them all.

There were only so many ingredients in the main camp, and it was just enough to cook for 10,000 people. They could not send out any more soldiers to cut wild garlic. Besides, the ingredients in the kitchen of each battalion were purchased by a specialist. The cooking was generally the same for each battalion. It would not be good if the other battalions knew about it.

The Great Generals ate the same food as the ordinary soldiers, and there was no precedent for all the soldiers in the military camp to eat garlic bread. Even if there were wild garlic in the surroundings, they would eventually wither in the wild. When the cooks heard this, they felt that it was right and did not ask for more.

Although the cooks and the others spoke very softly, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan still heard it.

They heard that they couldn’t make so many garlic breads for everyone to eat, and their two baskets of garlic breads couldn’t feed too many people. They looked at each other and asked their Sanfu and Wufu to light the fire. Then they went out and told Shiye what to do.

Very quickly, Shiye had arranged for 2,000 soldiers to go out and gather wild garlic before the sky turned dark.

If they wanted to go to a further place to pick wild garlic, they could ride a horse. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had also instructed Shiye to warn the soldiers not to trample on the crops of the farmers.

Military orders were like the law, so naturally, no soldier dared to destroy the crops.

The scene of 2,000 soldiers plucking wild garlic was quite spectacular. All their heads were buried, searching and plucking.

The soldiers had not yet collected all the wild garlic, and Shiye had already followed Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s wishes and passed down the general’s order. If they found enough, the entire army camp would eat garlic bread in the morning.

In the Southern Army, no matter if it was the main camp or the sub-camp, everyone wanted garlic bread. Although it wasn’t like many people hadn’t eaten it before, it was fine to eat pancakes every day for breakfast. However, it was also tiring to eat the same thing every day. Everyone naturally cheered and got motivated to find more garlic.

When the cooks in the main camp heard this order, Commander Fan and everyone else were stunned. Did the heavens hear their conversation? “Ah, so there’s going to be garlic bread to eat tomorrow? That’s great!” Xue Wufu didn’t think too much about it. When he heard about this, he was especially happy.

On the other hand, Xue Sanfu glanced at the two children who had just left and had now returned.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan only went out to inform Shiye before returning. Coincidentally, the first basket of garlic bread was already completely steamed.

In the eyes of Sanfu and Wufu, they were still two children. They did not need to take the first steamed garlic bread from the pot.

Wufu was like a monkey, excitedly sniffing the fragrance coming out of the steamer with his nose, saying that it smelled good..
