Lin Jue himself also personally participated in the study and preparation of armaments and materials. He even mobilized his wives and concubines to make a kind of food for the army, which was called convenient dry food. In these years, when people go out of the house, in addition to staying in the hotel to eat, they often carry their own dry food. Just like the dough cake made by Lin Jue with the green dance when he participated in the spring and autumn festivals. However, in addition to carrying grain and grass such as rice and flour and burying pots to make rice, large-scale soldiers and horses must also have dry food that is more convenient to carry and eat as rations for rapid and intensive operations. The dry food of the Luoyan Army and even the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty is much the same, generally fried rice and fried noodles, which are easy to carry and eat food that is not easy to spoil. Those who are well treated will be given dried meat and other things to increase the nutrition of the soldiers. But most of the time, the luxury of dried meat is not possible.

Fried rice and fried noodles are easy to eat, but they don't taste good and are not nutritious. Eating these things for days on end is a torture. This kind of dry food has no vegetable ingredients at all, and it only plays the role of satisfying the stomach, so the dry food in the army is the food that soldiers are most afraid of eating. However, in the intensive battle, there is no chance for the soldiers to have the opportunity to bury the pot and cook. In sports warfare, there is no room for delay, so although it is unpalatable, it is essential.

Lin Juesi thinks that taste is secondary, and the key is that nutrition is not enough, which affects combat effectiveness very much. Soldiers and horses go ahead before they move their grain and grass, and if they do not do a good job in logistical support, they will have a great impact on the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. Since we want to comprehensively improve combat effectiveness, we need to start from every subtlety. So Lin Jue mobilized his wives and concubines to use their brains to make dry food that was easy to carry, but not easy to deteriorate, nutritious and delicious.

Under the guidance of Lin Jue, everyone has successively made more than a dozen kinds of dry food such as compressed dough cakes, dried vegetable rice buns, dry baked vegetable buns, cooked rice noodles, etc. Lin Jue made dozens of copies of each of these foods and distributed them to the soldiers in the army to get feedback, and finally three dry foods received unanimous praise.

First, compress the sweet pastry. This is the means of the Green Dance. She bakes the dough mixed with the dessert and cuts it into pieces. It is then roasted over low heat and compacted with boulders. The bread that comes out after that has a firm texture and golden color is also greatly reduced. The taste is a little firm, but the taste is sweet and fragrant. All you need is dried tofu and a piece of dough to fill your stomach. It is very convenient to carry and eat. The disadvantage is that the texture is somewhat firm, and you need to drink water to replenish water after eating, otherwise you will be thirsty.

The second food is Mrs. Fang's five-color vegetable buns. Mrs. Fang mixed the vegetables with oil, salt and condiments, stirred them and baked them into dried vegetables. Then cut into chunks. The method is simple, but the taste of the vegetables is basically preserved. Moreover, dried vegetables can self-puff when exposed to water, and a piece of dried vegetables the size of dried tofu can absorb water in a bowl to become a bowl of vegetable soup. Not only can you chew and eat it dry, but you can also make vegetable soup at any time and enjoy the taste of the soup. The disadvantage of this vegetable package is that it is fragile and needs to be preserved, otherwise it will be dried vegetable powder after tossing.

The third food is spiced rice cakes. This is the common idea of the little county lord and Cui Yingying. Inspired by:

The taste of children's forest battles. Lin Zhan had already started to eat porridge and rice, and in order to make him eat better, the little county lord tried his best to add all kinds of things to the porridge and rice. Among them, there are various nutrients such as lotus seeds, black and red beans. Under the guidance of this line of thinking, the little county lord and Cui Yingying came up with the idea of mixing the gravy vegetable soup into the rice and cooking it. After that, the rice is crushed into rice cakes. Finally, cut the rice cake into pieces. People with a little common sense know that rice noodles and rice are two different concepts, and the volume of a bowl of rice will be greatly reduced after being made into rice cakes, and it will only become a small ball of rice cakes. That's because the space between the grains of rice has been compressed. The key is that this rice cake is mixed with vegetable soup and gravy, which has a delicious taste and delicate taste.

Of course, there are also disadvantages, in the hot season, this rice cake will spoil. And although the rice cakes are already very hungry, if you want to carry rations for multiple days, you will add a lot of weight. Compared to Midori Dance's compressed dough cake, it adds more weight and space.

Although the rest of the food has its own advantages and disadvantages, after comprehensive consideration and personal experience by the generals in the army, these three foods were selected as models for dry food in the army. In winter and in early spring and late autumn when temperatures are cooler, spiced rice cakes are preferred. Compressed sweet pastries and five-color dried vegetable buns can be used all year round. It can be eaten in rotation according to the length of combat time and the requirements of the season.

To this end, Lin Jue even designed a backpack to carry these dry foods. A multi-pocket, multi-purpose cloth wrap around the waist. Sortable equipment includes multi-purpose harnesses for items such as combat equipment and dry rations and water bags. After wearing it, it also added a kind of bravery, which attracted praise from everyone for a while.

All these things have set off a great movement in the cottages to enhance the combat power of equipment, from firearms, weapons, armor, horses, logistics of grain and grass, the manufacture of dry food, and the improvement of shoes, socks and clothing.

More than ten days passed quickly, and according to the year name of Guo Xu's new dynasty, the New Year of the first year of the Great Zhou Xingguo will soon come. There are still a lot of New Year's activities in the mountains, in order to create a peaceful and celebratory atmosphere, Lin Jue asked Gao Muqing and Qin Chuncao to formulate a New Year's celebration plan from the first day to the fifteenth day of the new year, almost every day there will be a special New Year's event, the purpose is that the cottage can celebrate the festival as much as outside.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, led by Guo Kun, Lin Juegao Muqing and other military and political officials, they led senior generals and officials from the cottage to launch a 'big New Year' activity. The crowd went deep into more than a dozen villages in the Luoyan Valley and the Jiming Valley, sent a large number of gifts and condolences to the silver, and went from house to house to mingle with the people. The people rushed to tell each other, and every time they arrived at a village that day, the people welcomed each other, and the gongs and drums sounded in unison, and everyone was smiling.

That night, a large party was held in the East Campus. This is the party that Lin Jue invited Gu Panpan and Chu Xiangxiang to organize.

Of course, Lin Jue couldn't have made the Yamanaka party a means of showcasing color art like the Oiran Contest. What he wants is a down-to-earth joy with the people, a lively New Year's atmosphere, and a peaceful atmosphere for the military and the people to celebrate the New Year.

Lin Jue even put a lot of effort into using the lighting and scenery of the Grand Theater

Up, although it is far from the special means of the Grand Theater, for a New Year's party in Funiu Mountain, this is just a means to add color, not a means to attract customers, so there is no need to worry about it.

That night, the talents of Gu Panpan, Chu Xiangxiang and others were still amazing, and Xie Yingying also appeared on the stage, singing a piece of the West Chamber. In addition to these programs, there are many other programs performed by the copycat military and civilians themselves. For example, the soldiers of the Falling Goose Army sang "I Am a Soldier" and "The Military Song of the Falling Goose Army". Yang Xiu and Ma Bin's funny little play "Xiucai Meets Soldiers" was very popular, and the applause and laughter continued. Yang Xiu and Ma Bin both starred in their true colors and received great praise. In addition, the programs selected by the villages also performed on stage, and although the programs such as singing mountain songs and minor tunes were not of any professional level, they made the people laugh and lean back together.

Lin Jue didn't prepare for the show, because Lin Jue felt that it was really inappropriate to chant poems and eulogies on such an occasion. And apart from pirated poetry, he didn't have much talent to contribute. However, at the end of the party, Chu Xiangxiang did not let him go, she asked tens of thousands of people on the stage if she wanted Commander Lin to come up and perform a show, and the audience was thunderous. Lin Jue was going to resign, but even the little prince Guo Kun and the Lin family's wives and concubines did not follow each other, saying that if they resigned at this time, the soldiers and civilians would not be able to return happy.

Lin Jue was driven to the stage by the ducks, and in the face of the expectant gaze of the black pressure from the audience, Lin Jue was a little helpless, but he also had to rack his brains. In the end, Lin Jue really had no tricks, so he sang a new song "Unity is Strength". This song is positive, full of power, and the melody is simple, Lin Jue only sings it once, and many people can already hum along. Lin Jue simply struck the iron with heat and taught everyone sentence by sentence, so the whole party ended successfully in the passionate and majestic singing of "Unity is Strength".

Many years later, the soldiers and civilians of Luoyan Valley who participated in this party were full of praise for the party and it was unforgettable. They all said it was the best party they had ever attended, a hundred times better than all the banquets and cabarets they had ever attended. And when they said these words, many of them had already achieved fame and had already participated in countless luxurious banquets, but they still remembered the situation of this New Year's party in Luoyan Valley.

The second day of the junior high school cottage temple fair, the third junior high school Luoyan River dragon boat race, the fourth junior high goose army competition, the fifth junior high goose reservoir fishing competition, the sixth junior high hunting competition, the seventh junior high school...... The Eighth ...... Until the 15th Shangyuan Festival, the cottage lantern festival. The program is different every day, and the people enjoy the joy of the beginning of the new year.

It can be said that the whole world of the Great Zhou Dynasty was shrouded in severe cold, famine, poverty and high-pressure atmosphere of the New Dynasty, and this year's New Year is the most deserted New Year in the Great Zhou Dynasty for more than 100 years. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Luoyan Valley are like a very small number of people in the Great Zhou world, who enjoy the New Year and celebrate the festival to the fullest, without worrying about hunger and cold, oppression and injustice. In a way, Luoyan Valley has truly become a paradise at this moment.
