"Huh? Is there still this military law? Don't let you eat water, don't let you eat offal? When did our Shenghan Empire have such a military law requirement? Zhang Xiaowu opened his mouth and stared at his eyes puzzled and asked, after all, he is not from this world, I didn't expect this world to have such a rule, this degree of hypocrisy is comparable to the Wanwan Strawberry Army, but the key is that everyone is dying of hunger, and they are still so hypocritical?

The old man smiled, and then explained: "Xiao Langjun should have been in the army for a long time, and he doesn't know some rules in the army, so he has been standing for more than 20 years without eating stinky meat." In the nineteenth year of the Great Dao, that is, when the first emperor was alive, the plague was rampant in Longdu. More than half of the 800,000 forbidden troops outside our Longdu City were poisoned by the plague, and the emperor was also infected with the plague and died. After Emperor Taiqian succeeded to the throne, he ordered that the army was not allowed to eat stinky meat, and the people in Longdu City were not allowed to eat stinky meat. ”

It turned out to be a rule made by the current emperor, he Lao Tzu died of the plague, and he was so scared that he did not allow others to eat internal organs, but how could it be animal internal organs that caused the plague. Zhang Xiaowu shook his head and pouted: "What kind of bullshit is too hospital, the cause of the plague is the epidemic virus, these people are afraid that they can't find the reason for the disease and shirk it indiscriminately, but the emperor still believes it." ”

The old man shook his head and said: "Whether it's true or not, the stinky meat subordinates in our army feed pigs and dogs on weekdays, and people don't eat it." ”

"On weekdays, everyone can naturally not eat stinky meat when they have food, but now there is a shortage in the army, and everyone is starving to death!" Zhang Xiaowu pointed to the intestines again and said: "The laborious soldiers washed the intestines, heart, liver and lungs, and boiled them with salt, but they are still a dish." ”

The old pawn glared and said, "This doll, where is your home?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Uncle, did you see the strangled straw wolf?" Last night, I strangled the wolf to death. ”

The old pawn swallowed his saliva in fright, and said in a trembling voice, "You doll...... It's amazing. ”

Zhang Xiaowu saw that he was afraid of himself, so he said: "Uncle, even if you eat stinky meat and get the plague, it is better than not being able to hold a knife if you can't eat enough, and you will be killed by Inuyi, right?" I have no opinion on the fine meat to Shangguan, let me eat this water. Besides, do you think there are still pigs and dogs in the city? ”

The dogs and pigs in the city had already been eaten, and the old pawn shook his head, looking at the piles of entrails that were thrown into the water and it was really a waste, especially the entrails of camels, which were piled up into a small mountain, and he whispered, "I can make you a little." ”

Zhang Xiaowu crossed his waist and said: "It's not a little, it's all done, including the intestines are cleaned, the heart, liver, lungs, and belly are all washed, and they are all stewed." ”

"Stew? Not made into a meat sauce? ”

"It's just boiling, slowly cooking over low heat, not making meat sauce." Zhang Xiaowu said, "It's stewed, and the meat is cut into strips with a knife." ”

The old pawn nodded, but then admonished: "It's really a waste of these stinky meats to be lost, but Xiao Langjun doesn't know that these internal organs are very fishy, can you eat them alone?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this, these internal organs are lost if they are lost in the water, and the servants have nothing to do, so they will help me with this." ”

The old man smiled bitterly: "Xiao Langjun is just tossing." ”

Zhang Xiaowu stepped forward, took out a handful of silver coins from his pocket and stuffed them into the hands of the old pawn, and said: "Hard old man, be sure to help me wash it and put it in the pot, and when I come back from looking for condiments, everyone will eat a pot of Beijing-style stew." ”

"What is Beijing-style stew?" The old man wondered.

Zhang Xiaowu said: "The name of the dish I invented. ”

The old pawn took the money, and said in his heart that you are powerful, you are the biggest, I can't beat you, so he smiled and said: "If you are willing to toss, toss." ”

Zhang Xiaowu went to the grocery store in Tucheng in a hurry to look for ingredients and spices, but unfortunately after looking for a long time, he only found some peppercorns, rattan peppers and cinnamon, no peppers, a merchant asked him what he was looking for, Zhang Xiaowu told him the characteristics of peppers, and the merchant laughed and said: "I know, it's just dogwood, it just so happens that I have dozens of catties of dogwood." After being trapped in the city for more than ten days, these dogwoods will be sold to you cheaply. ”

Zhang Xiaowu took out the silver and jade and handed them to the merchants, saying, "I don't know how much it is, these are low." ”

The merchant said: "It's more, it's more." ”

Zhang Xiaowu waved his hand, carrying more than ten catties of dogwood seeds and left, he returned to the barracks and tasted a mouthful of dogwood, and was immediately spicy and burst into tears.

", why is this stuff so spicy?" Zhang Xiaowu said to himself, the nature of dogwood seeds and peppers is almost the same, but it is worse than peppers in terms of yield, and the yield per mu of peppers in later generations can reach 1500 kilograms, and only 120 kilograms of dogwoods are replaced by dogwoods, so people only regard dogwood seeds as herbs and dare not use them as seasonings.

Zhang Xiaowu saw that the cooks and miscellaneous servants had already dealt with the water, so he hurriedly stepped forward to thank him, and then instructed everyone to turn over the hype. In fact, whether a dish is good or not depends mainly on whether there are many ingredients, more ingredients and more oil, and the taste must be delicious. The cooks first poured the freshly boiled horse oil, then poured all the ingredients into the pot, stir-fried for a while, and the aroma of the ingredients immediately diffused throughout the barracks.

The rest of the capital team today ran to the kitchen to join in the fun, but they were surprised to see Zhang Xiaowu directing the cooks to cook.

Wu Chang Shao Zifu shouted: "Xiao Wu, what are you doing? ”

Zhang Xiaowu shouted loudly: "I added food to you, how does it taste?" ”

"What smells so good?" Duwei Chen Tai ran over and said, everyone was busy standing up and saluting, Chen Tai waved his hand and said: "This dish really tastes great, I left saliva twenty steps away, but you made it?" ”

"Back to my lord, it's a despicable thing, and it's all offal that I don't eat on weekdays." Zhang Xiaowu was complacent.

Chen Tai's eyes widened and he shouted, "Viscera in the water? The military order strictly prohibits eating stinky meat! ”

Zhang Xiaowu rolled his eyes and said: "Lord Duwei, the humble teacher is a master of medicine, he said that stinky meat can be eaten, and the Great Plague of Longdu twenty-nine years ago was not caused by stinky meat." ”

"Who is your teacher?" Chen Tai asked.

"It's Xiaoyaozi." Someone hurriedly said, so he stepped forward to tell Zhang Xiaowu's story last night, Chen Tai was suspicious, but the taste of the meat in the pot was too attractive, so he hesitated: "Can you promise that you won't eat dead people and eat epidemic poison?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu raised his hand and said, "I promise, I promise the lamp - no, I promise God." ”

The smell of meat is rare these days, and the soldiers drool at the smell of it, and they are reluctant to disperse for a long time. The meat of twelve horses and six camels was a drop in the bucket for the fourth team, and each of them received a bowl of meat sauce, and if the uneaten offal did not cause disease, it would satisfy the cravings.

Chen Tai turned to look at the soldiers behind him and asked, "Aren't you afraid?" ”

"My lord, it is unknown whether we will survive tomorrow." A soldier hurriedly said.

"Yes, my lord, why can pigs and dogs eat them, but we can't eat them. Can't pigs and dogs get the plague if they eat it? "Some people suspect that in fact, the army has not eaten offal and stinky meat for only ten years, and it is strictly forbidden to eat stinky meat only near Longdu City, and in other state capitals outside Longdu City, the people naturally eat offal, especially the poor people, and they have not seen the poor people get the plague because of eating offal.

"I've long suspected that there's something wrong with this military rule." Shao Zifu suddenly said, "The doctors of the Tai Hospital must be right?" When I was a child, I ate pork liver, and I didn't see any plague. ”

"That's right."

"Captain, it shouldn't be anything, right?"

Shi Chang Feng Bin also said: "Such a pot of stinky meat has already been cooked, and it is a waste to throw it away." ”

Chen Tai smacked it and said, "Then try it." ”

Got the order of the captain, Zhang Xiaowu worked harder, he first used all the cauldrons, and then the large intestine, small intestine, liver, lungs, heart, and small belly (stomach) were boiled with various ingredients, and let people buy two jars of turbid wine to add to the pot to boil, and found someone to add some beans to it, and added salt after boiling for two hours.

After Zhang Xiaowu crossed into this world, he didn't eat well, slept badly, and was harassed by lice when he rested, and when he didn't rest, he was ready to die in the face of the alien army at any time.
