Chapter 629 Food Shortage
Chapter 629 Food Shortage
"Eat some at least." Gu Siyuan was holding the food, worried.
The porridge in the bowl was a little bland, with less rice and more soup. It also came with two plates of side dishes and a plate of meat, which was excellent in the military camp.
Qin Zhongwan glanced at it, but she couldn't work up her appetite. She didn't want to disturb Gu Siyuan's interest, so she brought the things with care.
"Thank you." The porridge was watery and he had no appetite at all. Qin Zhongwan insisted on eating a few more mouthfuls because Gu Siyuan said that food was hard to come by these days.
She put down the spoon and pushed the porridge bowl forward, her face almost wrinkled into a bitter melon, "I really have no appetite, I can't eat any more."
As he spoke, his face showed the regret of not wanting to waste food.
It goes without saying that food is precious.
Qin Zhongwan said with a hint of annoyance: "If I had known that I would have taken a small bowl to separate the things before I moved them, so as not to waste good things." As he spoke, his pretty face showed a bit of regret.
Gu Siyuan smiled after hearing this and said relaxedly: "Isn't this simple?"
Under Qin Zhongwan's curious gaze, he directly picked up the bowl. Qin Zhongwan couldn't stop him and watched him drink up the remaining half of the bowl of porridge.
His Majesty the Crown Prince actually ate her leftover food, and if word spread, it would be nothing more than that.
Qin Zhongwan was stunned, and his subconsciously stretched out hand paused in the air, "Why did you eat it?"
The belated words seemed to poke Gu Siyuan's smile point, causing a helpless and doting smile to spread silently in his eyes.
If Chang'an, who has been serving Gu Siyuan, sees it, it is inevitable that he will be shocked. Gu Siyuan is the prince, the future lord of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. Who dares to let the prince eat leftovers, let alone take the initiative to eat them? .
If outsiders saw it, their eyes would almost be frightened.
And Qin Zhongwan really didn't expect it. When he reacted, Gu Siyuan had already swallowed everything down without any sign of disgust.
"Food is in short supply. As a general alone, you must lead by example." After saying this, Gu Siyuan raised the empty bowl in his hand, making Qin Zhongwan dumbfounded. He didn't know what to say for a while.
"Those are all things I've touched. I wanted to save them for myself to eat in the evening."
Gu Siyuan said bluntly, "If you don't want to eat, just tell me. If you have a bad appetite, naturally I can't force you to eat."
"Besides, the food was not wasted."
The implication had entered Gu Siyuan's own stomach, and Qin Zhongwan really couldn't laugh or cry.
"There is a shortage of food and grass. When will the support from the rear arrive? By the way, these officials in charge of food and grass should not be dealt with. Why do you, the prince, handle it personally?"
Qin Zhongwan asked casually without taking it seriously, but Gu Siyi took it seriously.
As long as it wasn't Wang Xing who came, Qin Zhongwan would rather not see anyone than make a fuss with Wang Xing.
Gu Siyuan gave him a name, "The grain officer named Xu is a native of Sulfur City. I wonder if he can be trusted?"
There is no basis for what he says. Whether Xu Liangguan is a good person remains to be considered.
"As long as the imperial court approves the food, no matter what method is used, Gu will have the food transported to Sulfur City, and the soldiers will not be cold and hungry."
Qin Zhongwan unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and looked at Gu Siyuan tenderly without forgetting to grasp the key point at this moment.
"The imperial court approves food? Wang Xing?!"
Fang Zhiheng, who was far away in Kyoto, was recalled to her several times, and she could sense the fear in him.
At the height of the storm, Fang Zhiheng had better put the country's justice in front of him and not use any selfish motives, otherwise he will harm others and himself, and he will not be better off either.
Qin Zhongwan could only pray in his heart.
