Chapter 7: Rivers and Mountains (15)

Knowing that Huang Tianhua got back twenty-two guns, which was enough to form a brigade-affiliated artillery battalion, thinking of the word brigade-affiliated artillery battalion, Mo Di couldn't help but smile bitterly, he knew that as long as the 526 Brigade was still Ma Weixin as the brigade commander, the artillery battalion would definitely not be rebuilt, so how to deal with these twenty-two guns? And a whole bunch of shells. It was not easy to transport the brothers back to Yuexi from the mountain road, and the brothers could not be disappointed after their hard work. He thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a plan, greeted Jiang Chunyang, and the two walked towards Li Baicheng's artillery regiment.

"Expand! Absolutely! Li Baicheng jumped up from the chair with a loud cry, and was about to rush out.

Li Jingliang, deputy commander of the artillery regiment, grabbed Li Baicheng's belt, pulled him alive on the spot, and shouted: "Deputy Brigade Commander Mo is still here, what are you crazy about!" ”

Mo Di laughed out loud and said: "Let him go crazy, from Tiger Rock to Yuexi, Chen Zhengxin's people have pushed hard, and your Grand Master Li wants a cannon, so why don't you quickly ask someone to pull the cattle and drive the cart to pick it up." ”

When Li Jingliang heard that this was really the case, he loosened Li Baicheng's belt and let Li Baicheng disappear without a trace. Li Jingliang said to Mo Di embarrassedly: "Brigade Commander Mo, Bai Cheng is like this, you are not to blame." ”

"Hehehehe, Bai Cheng, this guy, I know him better than you." Mo Di said: "You partner with him, but you have to let him do more, and you have to help him pick up the gaps, this guy is a good hand at fighting, and nothing else is good." He came out of Guilin with me, and I know too well what virtues are. Okay, when you get the cannon back, you'll have to be busy. I left, remember to remind Bai Cheng and ask him to go to the division commander to ask for money, and Xu Ping can't help get the cannon back in vain, right. ”

Li Jingliang agreed with a smile and sent Mo Enemy to the outside of the barracks, and saw that Li Baicheng had already led his men to drive the horse-drawn cart far away. Li Jingliang patted his ass and walked towards the headquarters of the 176th Division, he was Ou Shounian's old department, and he was usually able to speak, so it was more appropriate to ask Ou Shounian for the bounty of these 22 cannons and shells.

After the 176th Division arrived in Yuexi, there was a day of rest, the soldiers went shopping, the logistics department purchased, and there were suddenly more than eight or nine thousand people in Yuexi City, and it suddenly became very lively. The 176th Division is a well-known veteran unit, and Ou Shounian often claims to have fought the Japanese twice, believing that his team is the most prestigious unit in China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Dragged down by its prestige, the 176th Division has done a good job in military-civilian relations, and has never had a conflict between soldiers and local civilians, although it does not help the local people harvest crops and do farm work like the 18th Army in the north, at least the trade is fair and discussing, and it is very recognized by the local people.

Mo Di came out of the artillery regiment and went shopping all the way, and slowly walked back to his station.

Tianzhu Mountain, the remaining vein of the eastern section of Dabie Mountain, also known as Qianshan, Wanshan Mountain, Wangong Mountain (Anhui Province abbreviates as "Anhui" from this), Wansui Mountain, Wanshan, was named "Nanyue" when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so it is also called Gunanyue. In January 1936, the Nationalist Government set up a new county on the border of four counties, which was named Yuexi County because the area was "suitable for the west of Gunanyue". This is a small county that has only been established for more than two years, not only is it not as good as Bengbu Hefei Lu'an, which has been there before, but even Huoshan Mingguang is also very inferior. The name of the county seat is very good, it is called Heaven Town, I don't know if this place is the closest to heaven and the closest neighbor to God. Surrounded by mountains, lush forests and a pleasant climate, it is still as comfortable as late spring in mid to late June. Mo Di walked down the stone-paved streets, looking at the shops and stalls on both sides, and the name on one of the stalls drew him in.

"Long live the Baba".

Mo Di paused for a moment, pulled Jiang Chunyang beside him, and said, "Do you have any impression of this thing?" ”

Jiang Chunyang walked over to take a look, and said with a smile: "It's similar to our bloody tofu in Guibei." ”

Mo Di also walked over and said, "It's the bloody tofu in Guibei, and it seems that things in the mountains are similar." How about it, there is no interest in tasting it. ”

"I want it!" Jiang Chunyang was so excited that he threw away the text.

Walked to the stall and found a place to sit down, looked around, this is a standard shop, not very neat to clean, only three small tables, it is estimated that it is still early, no one comes, and it is empty. The boss let Mo Di and Jiang Chunyang sit down at the window, and it was very open at this time.

Mo Di asked the boss to get on two of them first, and showed him them. The boss first froze, and then he heard the invincible accent, and knew that this was an officer from Guangxi, and it was estimated that it was the first time he had eaten such a thing, so he walked happily to the kitchen and put two black balls on a plate.

Seeing that Mo Di and Jiang Chunyang were both seeing and smelling, it was estimated that they had not eaten, and said: "Two guest officers, this Baba is a specialty of our Yuexi, and it is the best in the Huangwei area, my small shop, used to be called Yellow-tailed Baba, and then a scholar came, saying that our Yellow-tailed Baba is a tribute, and it is dedicated to the long-lived lord to eat, and the mountain next to us, also called the long-lived mountain, was changed to long-lived Baba." ”

"Wow! Accidentally, we also enjoyed the treatment of Long Live Lord. Now that the Republic of China is over, there is no Long Live Lord, and eating some Long Live Baba that Long Live Lord once enjoyed at the foot of Long Live Mountain is also a good thing to put gold on his face. Mo Di smiled: "Boss, how did you do it?" ”

The boss saw that Mo Di was interested, and the conversation was wide open, and said: "This is a good thing, every day before the beginning of spring, take advantage of the winter wind to dry, use pork, tofu, pig blood, salt and put together to make it, add green onion and ginger and evenly, make it into a round poop shape, put it in a dustpan or basket, dry it, and turn it over often when drying, and pinch it tightly." After drying, it is slowly smoked with firewood smoke. It takes about 30 days to make it, and then it is stored in a jar with a large amount of quicklime, so that you can still eat such delicious baba on May 6. ”

Jiang Chunyang nodded, the same is true in the mountainous areas of northern Guangxi, because of inconvenient transportation and lack of materials, it is necessary to get some convenient and easy-to-store meat and vegetables at home, it seems that the entire Yangtze River basin is a truth, a Xiangjiang River in northern Guizhou flows into Dongting, and then from Dongting down the river, you can reach Anqing, speaking far, in fact, it is really a family, not out of the house, even the way of eating is exactly the same.

"Boss, how do you make this dish? You won't just let me take it and eat it like a pear! Mo Di quipped, this thing is in their hometown, only some people in the mountains make it, and very few people in the mountains do it. It's usually used for stir-frying, and I don't know what tricks can be made in this place.

"What a success!" The boss smiled and said, "I have three dishes and one soup here, all of which are made with Ganba, if the two guest officers are interested, I will make you a set of three dishes and one soup, and then scald a pot of good Anhui wine, even if it is heaven." ”

Mo Di laughed, this boss, interesting, nodded, agreed, touched the Hojobaries, and several oceans, three dishes and one soup, that is affordable.

The boss went to prepare the dishes, Jiang Chunyang came back to his senses, and said to Mo Di: "This thing is exactly the same as our bloody tofu over there, even the ingredients and processes are exactly the same, it was definitely invented by one person, but we use it to fry sour chili peppers, and the way they eat them here is more complicated, I am looking forward to it." ”

Soon, a strong fragrance wafted out from the back kitchen, and not long after, the boss held a large tray with three dishes, a soup and a pot of wine, all presented in front of the two of them.

The first dish is stir-fried konjac with dry peppers, konjac tofu is cut into pieces and stir-fried with Baba together, which is spicy and delicious, which makes Jiang Chunyang shout good. In this dish, the konjac tofu has become a supporting role, just cut into small cubes, and the shape cannot be seen, only a little of the fragrance of the koba is used as an embellishment, and the konjac tofu is also delicious.

The second is steamed, half of the rice cake is cut into slices, and it is also built into the original state, steamed with green onion and ginger, the original taste, and the color is the same as the pork liver, and there is a faint fragrance when it smells, and Mo Di nodded and praised it secretly.

As soon as the third dish was opened, the eyes of the two attracted all the past, this is a handmade dish, which is made of old bacon and steamed with a piece of bacon, a piece of fat bacon with a small palm and a piece of baba, neatly placed in a small blue and white plate, steamed to a crystal clear, drenched with oil, and it makes people spit at a glance. Mo Di and Jiang Chunyang glanced at each other, and laughed unconsciously, this method soaks the oil of the bacon into the bacon, but I am afraid that after eating it for a while, the aroma of the cured meat is still on the bacon.

The fourth pot is a soup, the rice is cut into pieces and boiled in chicken broth, and it is also decorated with green onions and coriander. The two of them unanimously put the first bite on this soup.

Eat soup first and then eat, the boss smiled and blackened: It's really Lao Guang.

"Boss, the brigade commander has to eat empty salaries, and the troops can only fight smaller and smaller, even if they get some armaments back, it is impossible to expand, so they have to fight against the Japanese, but I am afraid that they will run away before they meet." Jiang Chunyang drank a few glasses of belly, and finally came out with the smell of wine after a long time: "Do you want me to talk to the Political Department of the Group Army, and let them check the original form." ”

"I know what you think, bring down Ma Weixin, and push me to the top position, right?" Mo Di replied with a smile, picked up a piece of bacon and Baba and stuffed it into his mouth at the same time, and said: "Eating like this is really delicious, a bit like our Lipu button meat, Lipu button meat is taro more fragrant than meat, and the taste of this Baba is also on top of bacon." ”

Jiang Chunyang nodded and said, "Otherwise, what should I do, just watch our brigade get smaller and smaller, and finally fight like Wang Yuying's 571 Brigade!" ”

Mo Di did not answer Jiang Chunyang, this question is too sensitive, not he should give the answer, this year, the war is in full swing, and the battle is victorious, there are some things to see, Lin Yuan Muyu is better to retreat and accumulate nets, he is not yet thirty years old, there is no shadow of his ancestors, no help from his brothers, he relies on his own efforts, and has been the colonel and deputy brigade commander, and he is also an outlier in the military circles.
