Chapter 56 No food to eat
Shi Meng had been a general and had learned how to dig fortifications during the march, so he naturally knew how to use a shovel. After getting the shovel, he immediately discovered that this shovel was somewhat different from the ordinary shovel in Daqian, and it saved a lot of effort when working.
The shovel in Shi Meng's hand was recently improved by Yu Hao. In addition to its different appearance, it also uses tougher materials. In addition to saving labor, its durability is also greatly improved.
Not only shovels, Yu Hao also improved a series of tools such as hoes, sickles, and saws.
Feeling the magic of the shovel, Shi Meng worked very hard. When Father Wu saw her like this, the anger in his heart also disappeared a lot.
But others were not so easy to talk to. From time to time, some employees cast angry looks at Shi Meng.
However, Shi Meng didn't care at all and always kept his head buried in his work.
Shi Meng was full of confidence at first, but after working for an hour, Shi Meng's speed gradually slowed down.
The injury on Shi Meng's body had not yet healed. At this time, the wound on his back collapsed again due to excessive force. Blood soaked into Shi Meng's outfit, and a large amount of sweat slid down Shi Meng's face drop by drop.
But Shi Meng did not give up and persisted.
Whenever she could no longer hold on any longer, she would think about the feeling of galloping on the battlefield, and she would immediately feel energetic again.
In the blink of an eye, the sky gradually darkened.
No one came to help Shi Meng during this period. Even though Shi Meng worked hard, the people in the logistics department were still hostile to her. Only Father Wu brought her a bowl of water.
"It's time to eat!"
I don't know who shouted, and the employees dropped their tools one after another and walked towards the canteen in small groups.
Shi Meng sat helplessly on the ground, looking at the pit he dug, feeling a sense of powerlessness welling up in his heart.
Ten of them could not dig out a brick kiln for four or five days. How could he dig it out in one day? Yu Hao was clearly making things difficult for himself.
Shi Meng felt aggrieved at the thought of not having enough to eat if he didn't complete the task.
But her growling stomach led Shi Meng towards the cafeteria.
At this time, many employees of Haoyue Manor had gathered together, each holding two large bowls in their hands and queuing up to get rice and vegetables.
After Yu Hao taught the chef in the cafeteria how to make rice dumplings, Yu Hao simply told the chef how to stir-fry, and asked Yin Laoqi and the others to make a few woks.
Nowadays, the food in Haoyue Manor is no longer stewed, but stir-fried.
Although the chefs' skills are still not up to Yu Hao's requirements, they are still much better than before.
As pots of stir-fried vegetables were brought out, the aroma suddenly filled the entire canteen.
Seven vegetarian dishes, one meat dish, and the staple food is rice.
Now that Haoyue Manor has made money, the living standards of the employees have also been greatly improved. They can eat meat every two days, and have rice and white noodles for every meal.
This kind of living standard is considered to be above average in the whole of Daqian.
Looking at the dishes he had never seen before, Shi Meng moved his index finger, wiped the mud from his face, and queued to the back of the queue.
At this moment, Yu Hao and Li Shihan walked into the cafeteria surrounded by Hei Niu and others.
Shi Meng quickly lowered his head and thought silently in his heart: You can't see me, you can't see me.
But by coincidence, Yu Hao happened to see Shi Meng and immediately frowned.
"Is your mission accomplished?"
"No." Shi Meng lowered his head and said.
Yu Hao's face suddenly became serious: "Then who asked you to come to dinner, Hei Niu, get her out of here!"
Li Shihan on the side quickly pulled the corner of Yu Hao's clothes to signal Yu Hao not to go so far.
But Hei Niu had already arrived in front of Shi Meng, stretched out his hand and said expressionlessly: "Please!"
Shi Meng was so angry that he slammed the bowl in his hand to the ground: "Yu Hao, I have worked for you for a day, why don't you give me food to eat!"
"Just because you haven't completed your mission, this is the rule of our Haoyue Manor. If you can't stand it, get out!"
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding employees all cast doubtful glances. When did Haoyue Manor have such rules?
Only the employees in the logistics department had sneers on their faces. They all felt that Shi Meng deserved it. This was the fate of insulting Lord Yu.
"You are clearly avenging a personal vendetta and deliberately embarrassing me!" Shi Meng felt humiliated and tears welled up in his eyes.
"I'm just making things difficult for you. So, if you can't stand it, just get out!" Yu Hao said coldly.
Everyone was stunned. No one understood what happened to the always easy-going Yu Hao today, why was he so cruel to a girl?
As soon as these words came out, Shi Meng could no longer hold back and turned around and ran out of the cafeteria. In an instant, Yu Hao seemed to see tears falling from her face.
"Sir, Miss Shi is a princess no matter what, how could you do this? And I saw that she seemed to be injured, and her clothes were full of blood." Li Shihan said with a frown.
She already knew about Shi Meng, and although she didn't have a good impression of Shi Meng, given Shi Meng's identity, what Yu Hao did was really too much.
Isn't this intentional to make Shi Meng hate Yu Hao?
Li Shihan had already regarded Yu Hao as one of her own, and she did not want Yu Hao to offend such a prominent princess.
"Master Li, you don't know that the tiger lady insulted our Lord so much that it would be a big deal if you didn't give her food." Hei Niu looked indignant.
"After all, Miss Shi is also a girl, not to mention that she has become a disciple of Sir Alex, and Sir Alex should not be so harsh." Li Shihan still felt that Yu Hao's approach was quite inappropriate.
Yu Hao sighed and said: "No jade can be made into a useful tool if it is not polished. This Shi Meng is too arrogant and arrogant. The emperor sent her to me just because he wanted me to smooth out her edges. If I don't do this, I can't explain it to the emperor!"
Shihan, you can prepare a meal later and bring some medicine to her, but don’t say I asked her to deliver it."
To be honest, Yu Hao also felt that what he did was a bit excessive, but this was an order from the emperor and there was nothing Yu Hao could do about it.
Not long after Shi Meng came to Haoyue Manor, Feng Yulou quietly found Yu Hao and conveyed the emperor's will to Yu Hao to be more ruthless and try every means to humiliate Shi Meng so that Shi Meng would understand that she was actually nothing and completely destroy her.
The arrogance in my heart was wiped away.
If the edges of Shi Meng cannot be smoothed out, the emperor will take Yu Hao to task.
Yu Hao can understand the emperor. After all, the emperor wants to reuse Shi Meng. Shi Meng is destined to hold military power and command thousands of troops in the future, so Shi Meng must not be allowed to become a proud and powerful general.
But I provoked whomever, so why did such an unwelcome job happen to me?
Seeing that Yu Hao had relented, Li Shihan also smiled slightly and quickly sent someone to get a meal to deliver to Shi Meng himself.
Looking at Li Shihan's back, Hei Niu shook his head helplessly: "Sir, you are just too soft-hearted. Have you forgotten that the tiger bitch wanted to kill you in the first place?"
Yu Hao smiled slightly and said, "Didn't I almost kill her too? It's even."
Not only was Shi Meng a distinguished person, but she was also appreciated by the emperor. Yu Hao really didn't want to be an enemy of her unless he had to.
It's just that the job arranged by the emperor is really a bit too deceptive.
Do you want to reconcile yourself with Shi Meng?
He obviously wants to deepen the grudge between the two!
