The soldier chuckled and said proudly, “Our southern frontier is near the sea and has a rich aquaculture. We can eat it six days a week.”
“The dishes today are more sumptuous than usual, but we usually eat well.”
Zeng Sanshui did not understand. Their military camp had been set up here for so long, but they did not feel that this place was so close to the sea.
They could actually eat so much delicious food. Compared to them, they felt that their lives as soldiers were completely not for humans.
Looking at the braised fish in the other pots, steamed bass, crabs the size of a palm, and delicious seaweed and prawn soup… He swallowed and asked as he continuously scooped the dishes, “Then how did these fish, prawns, and shells get here?”
The soldier smiled. “It was vacuumed packed, of course, or marinated and shipped over.”
Zeng Sanshui had once eaten the sea fish. There was always a stench. It was really strange that these seafood did not have such stench at all.
Zeng Sanshui thought that if the taste was not bad, he would buy some back for his old mother to try.
After taking a few steps, Zeng Sanshui’s plate was already piled up to the height of a small mountain.
The soldier reminded him, “General, you can’t waste food that you can’t finish.”
Zeng Sanshui frowned. “How do you know 1 can’t finish it? I can definitely finish it!”
Since he said so, the soldier did not try to persuade him further.
There was braised pork that was glistening and not greasy. There were charcoal-roasted chicken wings, braised duck feet, stir-fried chicken gizzard, stewed chicken with potatoes, braised beef brisket, spicy beef tendon, thousand-layer tripe, stewed pork in a pot, mushroom stew in a casserole, pepper fermented eggs, sour and spicy cabbage, white fungus and wolfberry soup…
Zeng Sanshui looked at them one by one and was dazzled.
It was no wonder Lu Ye told them to help themselves. How could such a big table be served?
Each of them had a plate and could take whatever they wanted. They had really put in a lot of effort.
Zeng Sanshui was very satisfied. The others also revealed happy expressions.
This should be the best meal they had since they left the capital, oh no, since they were born.
When they reached the last section, there were all kinds of drinks, snacks, and fruits.
There were Chinese-styled cakes and many Western pastries.
There were all kinds of food, and each one was beautiful.
Zeng Sanshui saw the big metal jar with oolong tea, sour plum juice, milk, and yogurt label stuck on it and asked in confusion again, “Can you guys drink it?”
The soldier chuckled. “We usually drink water and milk. Milk can help us grow taller and increase immunity. The Great Empress said that it’s best for men and children in the army to have a cup every day.”
Zeng Sanshui couldn’t help but roll his eyes. “Damn it, what kind of soldier are you!”
They drank a cup of milk a day, whereas they guarded the borders and ate dried buns every day.
The huge difference was really infuriating.
It was no wonder that they kept talking about the Great Empress.
If his soldiers also received such good treatment, they would probably kneel on the ground and call him their ancestors every day.
When the soldier heard Zeng Sanshui say that they were not soldiers at all, he suddenly became a little anxious. “We passed the assessment under the witness of the Great Empress. Only then did the most outstanding soldiers have a chance to come to the front line. Even if there’s no war, we have to train to raise our guns, practice our shots, march, and fight every day. We have to run 10 kilometers. There are special training for different special forces and often special training exercises! We’re not like you who only know how to raise sticks every day.”
Zeng Sanshui was extremely shocked. “Is this how every soldier trains?”
The soldier looked up proudly. “Of course, those who don’t qualify will be eliminated periodically.” He was also specially picked to be a logistics soldier and could be paid five taels a month.
Zeng Sanshui’s main goal in coming to the Carefree Kingdom was to investigate the true strength of the Carefree Kingdom.
No matter how powerful the weapons of the Carefree Kingdom were, they were only a small country. They had an overwhelming advantage in terms of numbers.
However, if a soldier could fight against a hundred enemies alone and had elite and powerful weapons, coupled with a strong fighting spirit and a strong awareness of protecting the territory, then the Carefree Kingdom would definitely be invincible.
Zeng Sanshui was suddenly especially shocked by the rapid development of the Carefree Kingdom.
The Heavenly Wolf Army had clearly been destroyed by Gu Chilie not long ago.
If the Carefree Kingdom Great Empress had already secretly accumulated strength, it was no wonder that she had the guts to challenge Emperor Ling Hui.
If Bai Wutong was ambitious, she might really be able to take down the Ling Kingdom within a hundred years.
While he was worried, the soldier suddenly stuffed an egg tart into his mouth and said happily, “This is especially delicious. If you buy it in Carefree City, it will cost ten copper coins!”
Outside the crispy tart skin was thick and fragrant cheese. Zeng Sanshui didn’t like snacks but even he felt as if the top of his head was opened.
He stuffed it in one bite and chewed, sweeping away all his worries. “What is this? Why is it so delicious!”
The soldier chuckled, feeling happy that his recommendations had been recognized. “This is called egg tart. It’s a kind of food invented by the Great Empress!”
In Zeng Sanshui’s mind, a woman sitting in the imperial hall suddenly appeared. Her eyes were red as she waved the kitchen knife and rolling pin crazily.
He couldn’t help but shiver. Chu Tianbao’s taste shouldn’t be that bad, right?
She could cook and make such delicious snacks. She should at least be somewhat virtuous and gentle.
The soldier even said happily, “Our Carefree City still has wine specially brewed by the Great Empress. Red wine, beer, and Phoenix Feather Wine are all delicious!”
“If the general has a chance, you have to try it.”
Hearing the words “Phoenix Feather Wine”, Zeng Sanshui immediately retorted, “The Phoenix Feather Wine was clearly invented by our Ling Kingdom. When 1 entered the capital, 1 even drank the priceless Phoenix Feather Wine!”
The soldier retorted with a red face, “The Phoenix Feather Wine was brewed by our Great Empress! It is not very expensive, it’s only one tael for five jars and it is nice to drink!”
Seeing his angry expression, Zeng Sanshui thought that the drinks might have the same name, so he nodded reluctantly. “Alright, what’s yours is yours, and what’s ours is ours.”
Only then did the soldier smile in satisfaction. He asked Zeng Sanshui which beverage he wanted to drink, and he went to get him a cup.
Zeng Sanshui thought for a moment. He had never drunk yogurt before, so it was worth a try.
He pointed at the big metal jar of yogurt and said, “This one then!”
The soldier went to get a cup. Zeng Sanshui placed the plate that had piled up into a small mountain on the dining table beside him. He went to the snack area to get mangoes and pineapple that he had never eaten before. Seeing that the freshly baked pizza was tempting, he took a piece, and another 50 skewers of mutton.
As soon as the soldier returned, he saw that his dining table was filled with food.
It was as if he hadn’t eaten in hundreds of years.
The soldier said, “General, I’ve already eaten. I can’t help you eat later.”
Zeng Sanshui ate skewers in big mouthfuls and was enjoying himself. He felt that he could finish another table, but when he heard his words, he felt disappointed. “If 1 can’t finish it, how can I let you force it in?”
The soldier said softly, “We might as well force it in.. If we waste a grain of rice, we’ll have to train for a kilometer immediately!”
