Chapter 8 Planting a Millet in Spring

"What's it? It smells so good?"

The leader of the rebels was a very handsome Mo clan. Not only was he wearing leather armor with iron pieces inlaid, but he was also riding a relatively short Yunnan horse under his crotch. He led his army to the front line and smelled the tempting and rich fragrance from the air. He couldn't help but curiosity. He saw that the wooden barrels were empty and could not have an ambush. The Mo clan ran to the front of the wooden barrels and took a closer look at the situation.

What caught the eye of this Mo clan was of course a bucket of instant noodles soaked in white, which had been stirred, making the fragrance even more intense and tempting. As a result, after getting closer and smelling the amazing strong fragrance, not only did the saliva secretion in the Mo clan's mouth accelerate, but the idea of ​​trying to taste it. Even the war horse under his crotch stretched out his head without hesitation, trying to lick the noodle soup in the bucket. The Mo clan was shocked and quickly grabbed the horse's head and shouted: "Chasing the wind, don't eat it randomly. What if it is poisonous?"

It is useless to pull the horse. Not only does horses need salt like humans, but they also need salt supplements more than humans because they are larger and sweat more. So no matter how the Mo clan member shouted and stopped him, his horse still tried hard to lick the noodle soup that smelled salty. He even stood up and neighed for a long time, almost lifting the Mo clan member down.

He cherishes horses and is reluctant to take risks with his precious war horses. The Mo clan had a sudden inspiration and forced his horse to point at an ordinary rebel soldier with a horse whip, shouting: "Come here and taste what this tastes? Can you eat it?"

The Mo clan was pointed at by the horse whip. He was a rebel soldier from Tian Nu. Not only did he rely on the Mo family for food, clothing, housing and transportation, but his wife and children were still slaves in the Mo family. So after hearing the order, the soldier hesitated for a moment and quickly came to the dough bucket. The Mo clan shouted again: "Hurry, taste it and see what it tastes."

"What if the field is poisonous?" the rebel soldier asked timidly, and at the same time he sucked his nostrils twice, sniffing the tempting fragrance in the air vigorously.

"You won't spit it out if it's poisonous?" The Mo clan members scolded and urged, "Try it quickly, is it eaten? Can it be eaten?"

He did not dare to disobey the orders of his master's relatives. After hesitating for a few times, the rebel soldier picked up a pair of rough bamboo chopsticks placed beside the bucket, put them into the noodle bucket and picked them up and took them out. He then carefully placed them under his nose and smelled them. Then, after the Mo family urged him again, the rebel soldier carefully put them in his mouth and chewed them gently...

"How is it? What's the smell?"

The person who answered the Mo clan was the rebel soldier who was shocked, then quickly stuffed the noodles into his mouth. While chewing and eating, he stretched out his chopsticks into the bucket again, picked up more noodles and stuffed them into his mouth. He didn't care about the noodles soup when he was furious. The Mo clan was furious and asked again: "Don't just eat, tell me, what's the taste?"

"Okay..., it's delicious." The rebel soldier said vaguely while chewing the noodles: "I've grown up so old and have never eaten such delicious food. Not only does it smell good, but it also adds a lot of salt."

"Is there salt?" The Mo clan screamed in shock, "What is in this bucket? Is there salt?"

The rebel soldier nodded quickly and said vaguely: "Tiantou, let me take a few more bites to see if it is poisonous. I am willing to be poisoned to death with such delicious food!"

As he said that, the rebel soldiers were chopped down and flew with chopsticks, and they kept putting their faces on each other. When they saw this, the rebel soldiers not far away were naturally curious and came up curiously, asking for what it was. The Mo clan members were very careful and said, "Don't move. Wait for him to eat for a while, and then eat it when it is confirmed that it is not poisonous."

Then, the rebel soldier who was eating noodles quickly naturally became the object of envy of his companions. In the public eye, he kept eating noodles like a starving ghost, and had no time to apply soup on his face. Finally, he simply lay on a bucket to eat noodles and drink soup and feasted.

Seeing this, a rebel soldier couldn't help it. He picked up a pair of chopsticks placed beside the bucket, picked up the instant noodles from another bucket and stuffed them into his mouth, shouting: "No matter whether he is poisonous or not, I'll taste it first... Mom! Salt! Salt! It's really salt!"

The entire area of ​​Guizhou, located in Guizhou, later generations, did not produce salt anywhere. In addition to the high salt tax, except for a very small number of powerful households, the rich and high-ranking officials could eat enough salt, even ordinary officials and military soldiers ate lightly all year round, and ordinary people generally used wood ash and soil and nitrogen instead of salt. So when they heard the words "Salt", the rebel soldiers present were immediately furious and rushed to grab the chopsticks. Many rude people even reached out to grab the surface, and their excited roars quickly resounded on the spot.

"It's really salty! It's delicious, so delicious!"

"Delicious! Delicious!"

"Get out of the way, let me eat too!"

The chaos expanded rapidly, and more rebel soldiers rushed up to join the ranks of noodles. No matter how the Mo clan members led the team shouted and stopped them, they could not stop them at all. Later, the Mo clan members were a little anxious and simply turned over and dismounted, pulled the rebel soldiers away with a whip, reached into the bucket to grab the noodles and tasted them. Then, after just a bite, the Mo clan members roared wildly, "No food is allowed! No food is allowed! All are left for me! Leave it for me!"

No one followed the shouting order of the Mo clan. The chaotic rebel soldiers just ran red eyes and tried their best to grab the face. Those who arrived first refused to let go of the position, while those who came later rushed forward, pushing and yelling and insulting, and finally started to fight directly, "Get out of your mother, let your father taste it! Just taste it!"

At this time, a noise came from the Wulian city wall in the distance, and many people shouted neatly, "The people of Wulian, the yellow bags also contain instant noodles, soaked in rolled soup! Soaked in rolled soup!"

Hearing this neat shout, some of the rebel soldiers who were snatching instant noodles finally noticed the bags of instant noodles all over the floor, and they all picked up some in their hands out of curiosity.

Hearing such neat shouts and seeing such a scene, the rebel soldiers who came in line one after another were naturally very surprised. They discussed what happened. Mo Zhu, He Zhong and Lu Ji and other rebel leaders quickly rushed over to check the situation. After seeing the noodles and noodle soup all over the floor, Mo Zhu, He Zhong and others who had tasted instant noodles immediately understood the reason, and immediately opened their mouths to order their personal soldiers to come forward and stop the rebel soldiers who were about to get out of their swords.

He kicked and beaten, whipped and beaten up, and finally separated the rebel soldiers who were fighting. After asking about the situation, Mo Zhu first slapped the Mo clan in the face in the face, and then shouted at the rebel soldiers who were licking their hands: "Get back and line up! Next time, each person will have twenty sticks!"

The rebel soldiers agreed dejectedly, and when they retreated, several rebel soldiers reached out to pick up the noodles that fell on the ground. Mo Zhu was furious when he saw it, and personally waved the whip and whipped the rebel soldiers away, and then cursed: "What the hell is Zhang Zhi doing? Why are you doing here for so many instant noodles?"

"Let go!" Mo Zhu's relative He Zhong also pointed at a rebel soldier and yelled, and ordered: "Put down the instant noodles in your hand and hand them over!"

He Zhong reminded him, and saw many rebel soldiers holding bags of instant noodles they had just picked up. Lu Ji immediately started yelling, yelling: "Super the noodles, you are not allowed to eat them!"

The soldiers in front of the rebels who were picked up were all from the Mo family. When they heard this, the rebel soldiers naturally looked at Mo Zhu. After hesitating for a moment, they still shouted: "Let them go, don't take them away."

He did not dare to disobey Mo Zhu's orders. The rebel soldiers who picked up the noodles could only put down the bag of instant noodles in their hands and left the scene with great surprise. During this period, they put one or two packs of instant noodles into their arms and were even more careful, for fear that Mo Zhu and others would see the clues. He Zhongze smiled at Mo Zhu and said, "Brother Mo, I have a midnight snack tonight. How about the three of us split these instant noodles equally?"

Lu Ji quickly agreed. In order to unite the rebels, Mo Zhu also endured the pain and nodded in agreement. He Zhong and Lu Ji cheered together, and quickly ordered their personal soldiers to collect instant noodles and divide them equally. He also issued a strict order that their personal soldiers were not allowed to keep even a pack of them.

Dozens of packs of instant noodles were quickly distributed, and Mo Zhu, as the leader of the alliance, distributed two more packs without hesitation. Then He Zhong asked again: "Brother Mo, what should I do next?"

"Since Zhang Zhi's son has not sent troops to fight, let our people take a break first, then set up camps, cut bamboo to erect fences and build siege weapons, and then prepare enough weapons before siegeing the city."

Mo Zhu, who had read half of the book "The Art of War", ordered arrangements, and then said: "In addition, a messenger was sent to the city to shout with a white flag, persuaded the soldiers and people in Wulian to open the city to surrender, threatening them that if they did not surrender, we would massacre the city if we broke the city!"

According to Mo Zhu's arrangement, while the rebel army was resting on the spot, a loud rebel soldier was picked out and ran to Wulian City with a small white flag. He raised his head and shouted to the city: "Listen to the people in the city, our Wulian City Chief Mo, He and Lu, brought the army of Wei to attack the city. If you are smart, open the city and surrender immediately. We promise to kill only Zhang Zhi'er. Otherwise, once the city is broken, we will massacre the city immediately. No one of you will survive!"

A handsome young man stood up on the city and shouted at the rebel envoy under the city: "I am Zhang Zhi, the county magistrate of Wulian. Go back and tell you, Chief Mo, Chief He and Chief Lu, and say that peace is the most important. I am willing to negotiate with them to withdraw the troops. As long as you put forward conditions, you can send someone to contact us at any time, and I can discuss any conditions!"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhi would come forward in person and give such an answer. After being stunned, the rebel envoy replied loudly: "Okay, I'll go back and report to the three patriarchs!"

"Slow down!" Zhang Zhi shouted loudly and said, "This Wu Lian commoner, you must be hungry when you come to the county town so far. Come on, it's not too late to eat a bowl of noodles first and then go back to report your life."

As he said that, Zhang Zhi waved his hand and immediately put down a hanging basket on the city wall with a rope. Zhang Zhi shouted loudly: "Wu Lian, the people who are talking, come and eat a bowl of noodles. It is the instant noodles that your people are rushing to eat just now. Come and taste it! Don't worry, it is absolutely not poisonous, and you have never eaten such delicious things!"

When he saw the rebel soldiers fighting for several barrels of noodles before, the rebel envoy who was shouting was already full of curiosity. When he saw this situation, he was naturally extremely hesitant. Zhang Zhize shouted loudly again: "Don't worry, you are Wu Lian's people. I am the county magistrate Wu Lian who loves the people as much as his son. I will never poison you. Come and eat noodles and instant noodles."

After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but curiosity in his heart. The rebel envoy stepped forward carefully and took the hanging basket hanging under the city. He immediately saw a bowl of instant noodles with a strong fragrance and chopsticks placed in the basket. The envoy hesitated for a while, but still picked up the chopsticks, held the bowl and picked up a little noodles in his mouth. Then...

Then he naturally swallowed the soup, and while eating instant noodles with big mouthfuls, the rebel envoy shed tears and choked and said, "It's so delicious, so delicious. I have never eaten such a delicious thing in my life."

"Is it delicious?" Zhang Zhi asked loudly on the city again.

"It's delicious! Thank you, lord! Thank you, lord!" the messenger answered sincerely.

"It's all delicious." Zhang Zhi waved his hand again, threw a few bags of instant noodles off the city wall, and said loudly: "This is instant noodles. Take it back and open the bag, put the noodles into a bowl, pour the salt in the small bag on the noodles, soak it in a boiling soup for a while, and you can eat it. It tastes exactly the same as the instant noodles you eat now, and you can make a bowl of noodles in one bag."

"Thank you, thank you."

The messenger agreed happily, then quickly finished all the noodles, licked the soup in the bowl into his mouth, and then picked up the instant noodles that Zhang Zhi had left behind the city wall with even more joy, and said loudly, leaving Zhang Zhi grinning on the city wall, saying proudly: "Very good, another seed has been planted. If you like it, come quickly and send more messengers to let me have some seeds."

I still saw the situation of the rebel envoy. When I returned to Mo Zhu with the instant noodles sent by Zhang Zhi, the rebel envoy was of course laughing happily and excited, and was extremely grateful to Mo Zhu for sending him such a beautiful woman. But when he finished reporting the situation, he quickly couldn't laugh out loud - because Mo Zhu pointed to the instant noodles in his hand and shouted, "Go back, leave the instant noodles."

"Stay?" The rebel envoy who had just tasted instant noodles said tremblingly as if struck by lightning: "Class Chief, this is what Mr. Zhang gave me."

"Stop talking nonsense, stay." Mo Zhu shouted angrily: "You were eating noodles under the city just now. The patriarch did not blame you, so it was already a reward for you. Stay there, get out!"

After looking at Mo Zhu's personal soldiers who were watching Dandan, the messenger was unwilling to give up, but he still handed over the instant noodles obediently and returned to his team dejectedly. Then, after the messenger returned to the team, he naturally became a free publicity machine for instant noodles, allowing many rebel soldiers to know that there was an supreme delicacy in Wulian City called instant noodles. At the same time, the messenger who risked being shot to death by arrows to shout at the city, naturally secretly hated Mo Zhu who forcibly snatched his instant noodles.

Next, given Zhang Zhi's weak attitude, he took the initiative to propose that he could make concessions in exchange for the rebels to withdraw his troops. In order to take the opportunity to find out the truth and reality of the city, Mo Zhu, He Zhong and Lu Ji discussed it briefly, [Biquge www.biquger.me] decided to send a Mo clan and a He clan as envoy, and took the white flag to Wulian City to negotiate with Zhang Zhi in person. At the cost of asking for 200,000 packs of instant noodles, he negotiated with Zhang Zhi to withdraw his troops, but in fact he wanted to find out the specific truth and reality of Zhang Zhi.

Two unarmed messengers quickly entered the city. When the rebels began to build a camp five miles outside the Nanmen City, the two messengers brought their bodies with a strong fragrance of instant noodles, and each brought two packs of instant noodles to Mo Zhu and reported: "Class leader, we met Zhang Zhi's son. He said he would think about it for a few days before he could reply to us. He also said that our price was too high and he could not bear it. He asked if you could lose it. If you could, you could send an envoy in to negotiate."

"A slow-down plan!" Mo Zhu snorted coldly, seeing through Zhang Zhi's tricks at first sight, and then asked the two negotiators: "When I entered the city, did I see how many instant noodles there are in Zhang Zhi'er? Also, how much instant noodles did Zhang Zhi'er eat in the city?"

"I didn't see it, I don't know how many." The two messengers quickly answered together and said together: "No, no, Zhang Zhi's son didn't let us eat instant noodles? He only gave us two packs to each of us and asked us to take them back and taste them."

"She is so fucking! "Mo Zhu was angry and roared, "Don't think that you can't smell it. You are full of instant noodles! Leave the instant noodles and get out!"

After honestly handing Mo Zhu the four packs of instant noodles, the two messengers bowed and left in a regular manner. After walking away, the two messengers subconsciously touched their chests, then exchanged glances with each other, and said in their hearts: "Fortunately we are smart."

Zhang Zhi's generous attitude towards instant noodles was far above the imagination of Mo Zhu and the rebels. When the sky was getting darker, when the rebel patrol sentry began to patrol back and forth outside the city, the south gate of Wulian suddenly opened. A Wulian defender ran out of the city with a steaming bucket, raised his chopsticks on the moat bridge and shouted: "Brothers who are patrolling, come and eat instant noodles! There is no poison. Don't worry, we County Magistrate Wulian gave you food!"

"Look at it! There is no poison!" The soldier of Wu Lian even picked up a chopstick of noodles in his mouth. After eating it, he shouted: "Come and eat noodles quickly. We will not poison, let alone shoot arrows. Just leave the bucket for us after eating."

After shouting, the Wu Lian soldier picked up another chopstick and put it in his mouth, and then left the chopsticks to quickly return to the city. The members of the rebel patrol team in the distance licked their mouths and wiped their tongues. They couldn't suppress their curiosity, and they could not bear the fragrance of instant noodles that had already spread in the city. After exchanging a few glances, the leader of the team whispered, and one of his relatives understood, rushed to the moat and rushed towards the bucket of strong and seductive instant noodles...

The defenders of Wu Lian did not shoot arrows and allowed the rebel soldier to carry the noodle bucket back to the team. The large bucket was quickly scrambled by the patrol team and another patrol team that rushed to the news. The bucket was also picked up by the rebel soldier before, and shouted to the city with his head raised, "Brothers in the city, the bucket has been sent back to you. Can you give us another bucket? It's so delicious, we don't have enough food!"

The rebel soldier answered the bags of instant noodles that were sprinkled like raindrops, and the shouts of Wu Lian soldiers, "We have finished our rolling soup, take it back and make it ourselves! Remember to tear the bag open, put the noodles in the bowl, then tear the small bag open and sprinkle salt, soak it in the rolling soup for a while and you can eat it."

"Thank you, thank you."

After thanking each other, the rebel soldier tried his best to pick up the instant noodles thrown away and ran away, taking the noodles back to distribute them to his companions. In the blink of an eye, all the ten rebel soldiers were hidden on them. They also reminded each other, "Everyone tightens your mouth, and when you go back, you must say, eat noodles quietly and don't let others know."

At the same time, in addition to the West Gate of Wulian facing the lake, similar scenes appeared outside the East Gate and North Gate of Wulian on the hillside and top of the mountain. The soldiers of Wulian guards went out with their noodle buckets and shouted to the rebel soldiers patrolling back and forth outside the city to eat noodles. Because of the distance and complex terrain, the rebel patrol sentries outside the east gate and north gate naturally rushed towards the noodle bucket faster...

At the same time, the unique aroma of instant noodles in the rebel camp was also spreading in the rebel camp. Unfortunately, only Mo Zhu, He Zhong and Lu Ji were the three leaders who could eat instant noodles in big mouthfuls. Their confidants repeatedly begged, and only a few people could get a bowl of noodles to eat. More rebel soldiers could only eat the fragrance from the air, chewing on the hard and rough dry food, drooling, but they could not do anything.

"What exactly is it? It's so fragrant? It's too unfavorable. We won't let any of it taste such a fragrant thing." This is the voice of most rebel soldiers who have never tasted the delicious instant noodles.

"It's good to have another bite." Very few rebel soldiers who have eaten instant noodles thought, "Even if they can eat another bite, it's worth it even if they're beaten. No, it's worth it even if they're given their lives."

It was not over yet. Late at night, after the rebel soldiers who had been patrolling the camp before returned to the camp, when it was late at night, many figures appeared sneakily by the campfire, setting up a kettle that they had quietly found to boil water. Then, the fragrance of instant noodles filled the crowd, and the rebel soldiers patrolling in the camp smelled the fragrance...

"What's it? It smells so good?"
