Chapter 236: Dry Food
readx;??? Qu Bufan pondered for a moment, but he did not deny Yuan Niang's words. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Although there is a large army to support, the food and grass are not enough to support it for too long!"
The treasury, which has been emptied by Huang Fu Jue, where can it collect a large amount of grain and grass enough to deal with the war at once? This is still what Yue Wang Ye has accumulated in Yuecheng in the past, and some of them have been requisitioned from all over the country, so he can barely let the army support him. However, it is estimated that it will be difficult to support it for too long, and it is necessary to win the opponent quickly
"Besides, those people from the Western Liang Kingdom probably understood the dilemma of our Great Qi Kingdom, and they only fought with the army, but they ran away after a while. But once our soldiers and horses catch up, the food they bring can only survive for two days. Originally, our people knew about the problem of food and grass, and they also wanted to solve it quickly, but they had no choice but to march out of the city for a long time to fight. There is no way, in that kind of yellow sky and wilderness, for soldiers who are not familiar with the local environment, water is not easy to find, even if they find water, just drinking water is not able to maintain physical strength! This life is consuming the physical strength of the army, consuming the food and grass of the army, I am afraid that they are just waiting for the army to run out of food and grass, and they will take a large-scale attack! ”
Yuan Niang frowned, why can she only go out for two days, and if she brings dry food for the march and battle, she should be able to hold out for a few days
"Isn't that right? Why don't our fighters bring dry rations? ”
Qu Bufan exhaled a long breath, "Bring it!" Our dry food is steamed bread or steamed buns! Alas, these things cannot be carried too much, which will increase the burden of the march. Besides, these things are also not easy to store, and after two days, I'm afraid they already stink! ”
Yuan Niang was stunned, "It turns out that the dry food at this time is like this?" This kind of food is not suitable for marching food, and it really caused trouble for our army. ”
Qu Bufan nodded, "Indeed, because of the problem of dry food, our army is restricted, and it is completely impossible to drive straight in, and it is impossible to leave the frontier to defend the city too far, otherwise it will be a dead end." ”
As soon as Yuan Niang heard this, she thought for a moment. "Well, then it should be changed to dry food! Dry food, dry food, should be suitable for marching and fighting, nothing more than those with less moisture, easy to carry, but very resistant to hunger! If you are free now, you can call Bai Xiu over, and I can guide her to make dry food suitable for the needs of the army!" ”
Qu Bufan was stunned for a moment, but he also reacted suddenly, Yuan Niang is a very powerful cook, she can make snacks and snacks that are not available in the world, and she should also be able to make dry food needed to go out with the army
Without further ado, Qu Bufan quickly called Bai Xiu, and after listening to Yuan Niang's dictation, Bai Xiu quickly went to the kitchen to make some food.
The long shelf life is the most important aspect of army food, and the taste is something that the ancient army did not pay much attention to. Foods with a long shelf life are also very suitable for the backward transportation conditions of ancient times. Therefore, the staple food that Yuan Niang said is baked cakes! The one that is easy to digest and easy to carry is to make a dough cake that is perforated in the middle
Soon, after listening to Yuan Niang's story, Bai Xiu took flour, sesame five-spice salt noodles, oil, alkaline noodles, sugar, etc. as raw materials and accessories. After the dough is fermented, add crisp to taste, knead the agent to make a shape, brush it with sugar, dip it in sesame seeds, and then make a hole in the middle and bake it in the oven.
The great poet Bai Juyi in the Tang Dynasty once said a poem about similar cakes.
This kind of perforated baked cakes, each person can carry a string of cakes and march to fight. Carry dry food supplemented by fishing, hunting, animal milk, long-distance travel, thousands of miles to fight.
And Yuan Niang suggested to Qu Bufan that a small porcelain bottle could be placed in the arms of each soldier, which contained soybean paste! This soybean sauce is delicious, and when it is spread on top of the baked cake, it can naturally increase the taste and make it no longer difficult for soldiers to swallow.
"Well, that's a great idea! Miso has a flavor, and only a little bit is enough. ”
When Bai Xiu hadn't finished baking the baked cakes, Yuan Niang continued to discuss with Qu Bufan.
"I'm thinking, our soldiers fight for strength, and salt and meat are the source of human strength. The best way to give the soldiers strength was to make bacon. In fact, the method of salted meat is very simple, very similar to the light shadow shredded pork I made before, we can make salty air-dried beef, air-dried pork, etc. These are delicious flavors that are easy to store and don't spoil easily. ”
To put it mildly, in the history that Yuan Niang learned before he crossed, ancient people made air-dried human flesh.
In fact, air-dried beef jerky was first invented by the ancient northern nomads. After a cow was killed, hundreds of kilograms of beef were dried and processed into more than 10 catties and 20 catties of jerky. These jerky are carried with them on the march, which is equivalent to a soldier marching with beef from a cow, which can be eaten for several months.
Qu Bufan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but hug Yuan Niang into his arms. "Yuan Niang, you really solved a big problem! You are truly a genius, unique in the world! ”
Damn, I've got a badly injured shoulder! "Silk! Little, do you want me to be crippled? ”
As soon as he heard this, Qu Bufan hurriedly let go of his embrace. But there was only a hint of apology, "Oh, I didn't mean to, how could I make my mother a person with limited mobility?" ”
As soon as Yuan Niang heard this, she immediately glanced at Qu Bufan, "Stay aside!" Who's your lady? ”
Qu Bufan raised his chin very proudly at this time, "The words of the matchmaker of your parents, you have already become a member of our Qu family with the permission of your parents!" Besides, do you want to marry someone else besides me? You'd rather tell me to try it out on someone! ”
It's so easy to get happiness, where will Qu Bufan give up? What's more, Yuan Niang is a virtuous helper who can help herself solve her troubles
After saying this, Qu Bufan approached Yuan Niang even more, and his lips were about to pout his lips with a seductive sense of sex.
I'm going, can I still play like this? Big brother, I don't dare, I don't dare to say it? This is simply a case of parents selling their daughters, and they were forced to marry again
However, this kind of forced marriage is not disgusted by Maozi himself? For Mao's own heart, he couldn't help but be happy, so he almost let his mouth open and smile stupidly
Qu Bufan, you have tempted me like this, the consequences are very serious! I will rely on you for the rest of my life, and you will not escape
At this moment, Yuan Niang's heart was full of happiness, but she would not have thought that soon after, the relationship crisis between the two would be ushered in
