Li Mingyu had the heart to realize the ideas in his heart one by one, but because he was too young to convince the public, he had to hide behind the scenes and use the master's hand to train the soldiers. However, as the master became more and more comfortable with the new way of training, Li Mingyu gradually became idle.

The master has to share weal and woe with the soldiers, and eats and lives in the Xuanjia military camp every day. Li Mingyu can't stand the suffering, it is early spring now, although the weather is not very hot, but the soldiers who have practiced for a day are covered in sweat and smelly, and when they take off their shoes, the smell is really sour, and it is so smoked that people can vomit out all the overnight meal.

Li Mingyu strongly demanded that the soldiers must take a bath every day and pay attention to hygiene several times, but they could unanimously oppose it from top to bottom, and neither the master nor the generals in the army such as Cheng Yan and Jin Qinqiong supported it. Even if the great god Sun Simiao is put out, it is useless to say that it is to prevent the disease.

In their words, they are all rough men in the army, which is so expensive? This is wartime, not peacetime. I don't know when, the war is together, the soldiers are waiting for the day, they don't take off their clothes, they can't rest day and night, and it's common to crawl and roll in the muddy water. Although there is no shortage of drinking water, Tiger Prison is not rich enough to bathe every day.

Seeing that persuasion was useless a few times, Li Mingyu had to sigh, he was soft-spoken, and at the same time, he looked at the happy smiles of the soldiers who heard that they didn't need to take a bath every day, and they were secretly ruthless in their hearts, sloppy ghosts! Dirty to death! Bah! When the master is in power one day, you have to take a bath three times a day, and you want to eat without washing off a layer of dirty skin!

Out of sight is clean, Li Mingyu simply moved over to live with Li Shimin, wandering around every day, or bragging with Cheng Biting Jin, Wei Chigong and others.

Cheng Yanjin and others, as the generals of the Xuanjia Army, were originally going to lead the team to train the troops. However, the new training method adopted by Li Xuanba, their eyes were blackened, they didn't understand it at all, and they couldn't intervene.

Alcohol is not allowed in the army, and Li Shimin is not allowed to leave the customs, and several fierce generals have nothing else to do every day except practicing martial arts and hunting, chatting and farting, and they have long been idle. As soon as Li Mingyu came, he finally had someone to chat with and relieve his boredom, this little doll was clever and well-behaved, had a wide range of knowledge, and had a sweet mouth. Talk with them every day, talk about ancient and modern heroes, and be happy.

On this day, Li Mingyu had nothing to do, went to talk to Cheng Yanjin and them, and at noon, he simply stayed and ate with a few people. The ancients generally only ate two meals, morning and evening, made at sunrise and rested at sunset. The three meals are generally only enjoyed by nobles, and the others are all generals in the army, so in order to ensure that they have sufficient physical strength, they naturally have to add extra meals. The soldiers of the Xuanjia Army practice every day, and their physical consumption is also large, so they also eat three meals.

Today's lunch is Hu cake, roast mutton, and mutton soup. Li Mingyu looked at the pile of food in front of him and felt sick to his stomach, he was not a particularly picky eater, in his previous life, the delicacies of the mountains and seas were naturally very sweet, but the army's big pot of rice can also be sweet, when training in the field, compress biscuits, and eat emergency military rations. The world is big, the food is the largest, there is no fire condition, the hunger is ruthless, just catch a snake, insects, fish and birds, and chew hard to deal with a round belly. But that's all an emergency measure, after all, wild animals are full of parasites, and the consequence of doing so is that you have to go to the military hospital to lie down for a while.

In the past few years since he came to the Tang Dynasty, he has completely despaired of the food culture of the ancients, and he doesn't know how many times he has complained that the food is not delicious. I think my Chinese food culture is broad and profound, with eight major cuisines and countless special snacks, why don't you have a damn Tang Dynasty? It's either steamed or boiled, or grilled. In the past, in the village, it didn't matter, if you didn't like to eat, you would eat less, and from time to time you could go out with Xiao Hei to catch some prey and fight tooth sacrifices.

But the cook in the army, the things he made really made people want to jump and scold their mothers. In his previous life, Li Mingyu often described the food in the army canteen as the same as pig food, but in the ancient army, he knew what was the real pig food! A black lump of barbecue? The outside is charred and black, and the inside is not cooked at all. The bread was hard as stone, dry and toothy. The mutton soup is covered with a thick layer of oil flowers, which smells fishy and fat. These things were put in the previous life, and they were not eaten when they were fed to the dogs!

Li Mingyu barely ate two bites, couldn't eat anymore, pushed the dishes and chopsticks, watched Cheng Yanjin and a few others eat the juice dripping, threw the bloody barbecue meat into his mouth and chewed, and blood flowed down the corners of his mouth.

Wei Chigong, who was sitting next to Mingyu, finished drinking the mutton soup in three or two sips, and was putting a piece of cake in his mouth and chewing it. Seeing Li Mingyu sitting there watching them eat and drink, the food in front of him didn't move much chopsticks, only a few small tooth marks on the cake, Yu Chigong said with concern, "Doll, why do you eat so little?" It's not okay to eat well, you see that I'm old and black, I can grow so strong, but I can eat it because I am small! ”

"Uh.... I don't have much of an appetite. Li Mingyu looked at Wei Chigong, who was nearly two meters tall, and said in his heart, Your brother is not a picky eater, he has a strong appetite, and he can eat this pig food so sweetly.

The cow over there ate a cake in a few bites, and when he heard what Yu Chigong said, he frowned and said, "Doll, I see that you don't dare to spoil the grain as if you have never been hungry." Let's just talk about this Luoyang City, I heard that the people inside are so hungry that they gnaw bark and grass roots, and you are not satisfied. Hurry up and eat. ”

Li Mingyu had no choice but to pick up the half-cooked piece of mutton, barely took two bites, and saw that the old brother ate sweetly, and asked, "Uncles, they are also from a family of Jiangmen, and they don't have to worry about snacks and clothing, but how can you eat this rough food?" ”

Cheng Yanjin laughed and said, "A few of us who are used to bringing soldiers have long been used to it." Nowadays, there is a big mess in the world, and it is not easy to have a stutter, not to mention that if you eat meat today, the flatbread is full, who the fuck still cares if he tastes good or not. But when it comes to eating, I have a secret method. With that, he picked up a piece of bloodshot mutton, put it in his mouth and chewed it, "You can't just stare at what you're looking at." You have to think of it as a dragon liver and phoenix marrow, a delicious delicacy. The mouth is chewing pickle flatbread, and the heart is thinking of the delicacies of the mountains and seas, so naturally I can eat it. ”

After Li Mingyu heard what he said, he said in his heart, you are quite obscene, and you also have dragon liver and phoenix marrow, delicious food? Have you seen this Tang Dynasty bun? pouted and replied, "Uncle Cheng, I think with your rough appetite, a roast chicken can be regarded as a full Han banquet." I've seen what makes the world delicious! ”

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Cheng Biting Jin looked at it and said, "What is the Manchu and Han full seats?" Don't believe it, don't look at me Lao Cheng is just a small horse army manager now, but in Wang Shichong, he was an official and worshiped General Long Xiang, and the emperor's elixir banquet in the palace was also often eaten. ”

It's the first time Li Mingyu has heard that Cheng Yanjin has done things under Wang Shichong before, didn't he go directly to Li Tang when Wagang Mountain was destroyed? Why did you still turn around under Wang Shichong's hands? I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Uncle Cheng, what about later?" Why did you come to Tang again? ”

Speaking of the glorious deeds in the past, Cheng Yanjin was interested, and said with a smile, "Later, if it weren't for the insidious and cunning, shallow and narrow-minded Wang Shichong, our elder brother despised him, so he defected to the Tang Kingdom." If he had stayed with him at the beginning, his status would not be lower than that Shan Xiongxin now, and at least he would be able to mix with an auxiliary general. ”

Speaking of his old opponent Shan Xiongxin, Wei Chi Gong interjected sullenly, "That Shan Xiongxin is indeed powerful, with a golden nail jujube yang lance in his hand, the move is old and spicy, and the force is fierce, if it weren't for the carelessness of the enemy last time, I Lao Hei was caught off guard, and the outcome is still unknown." ”

"Humph!" Next to him, Luo Shixin has always been at odds with Shan Xiongxin, and when he heard Wei Chigong praise him, he was unhappy, but he was not familiar with Wei Chigong, so he had to ridicule Cheng Biting Jin, and said, "What if you let you become a general under Wang Shichong?" It's not that he is trapped in Luoyang City with the surname Shan, and he can't advance or retreat. What kind of bullshit general, there are only two or three big cats and kittens under his hands, just the name is good, and there is an egg? ”

Cheng Biting Jin was taken by him, and was about to refute, but was stopped by Qin Qiong.

He had been eating with his head buried in his head before, but when he heard more and more talking, he became more and more stiff, and said, "Okay, the old things in the past are still mentioned in it!" That Wang Shichong is suspicious and biased in slander, which is not a place for us to support himself. defecting to the Tang Kingdom was a unanimous decision made by our brothers. No one can blame anyone! King Qin's talents are strategic, and he is the master who is really worth taking refuge in! ”

Li Mingyu saw that the more this old brother spoke, the more stiff he became, he had the heart to adjust the atmosphere, and said with a smile, "Uncle Cheng said the method, I don't have that ability." But boy, I'm good at cooking, so I might as well show a few of you. ”

Li Mingyu's words are not bragging, although he was not a chef in his previous life, but after all, he lives alone, and he can make a few things of ordinary home-cooked food. And the barbecue skills are not bad, and the heat is just right. It was all forced out during the previous wilderness survival training.

The elder brother knew that he had the intention to resolve the embarrassing atmosphere, and they all smiled and said, "Okay, let's see if your kid is bragging." "I'm going to try. If it doesn't taste good, I'll beat you in the ass. ”

What to do? The Tang Dynasty didn't have a wok, and I don't know when it was invented, so are there any dishes that can be made without a wok? Li Mingyu thought about it, and suddenly remembered a simple and delicious dish, and said in his heart that today I will open the eyes of your group of local buns and see what real food is.

After making up his mind, Li Mingyu turned around and walked back to the barracks, took out a few treasures from his small baggage, carried them around his waist, and came to a few in front of them.

Qin Qiong and the others looked at it, and it turned out that Li Mingyu was carrying a large slingshot with antlers on his waist, and he was holding a small shovel in his hand. Cheng Yanjin sneered and said, "Doll, do you have your hands on this little child's thing?" Can you kill a rabbit? Hahahaha. ”

A few years after coming to the Tang Dynasty, Li Mingyu learned sword techniques and horse lances, but this bow and arrow had never been involved. It's not that I don't want to learn, it's just that I'm too young, and there are no suitable bows and arrows in the village. Master's hard bow was too high for him, and although he could pull it out, his arms were not long enough, and he couldn't pull them all straight. I'll have to wait a few years and grow taller.

This antler slingshot is self-made by him, and his marksmanship was good in his previous life. Whether it is a bow or arrow, or a slingshot, it depends on eyesight and thousands of exercises, practice makes perfect, and the enemy does not need to aim at all, it all depends on feeling. This slingshot is usually easy to use in the mountains to shoot a bird, pheasant or rabbit, and it is also easy to hit within twenty or thirty steps.

Li Mingyu saw a few people laughing at him, looking down on his slingshot, and said angrily, "If you don't take the slingshot, how can you go to the mountains to hunt pheasants, there are no materials, and how can I show you a hand." ”

Qin Qiong smiled and said, "Doll, put away your little child and play, a few people here are all skilled in bow horses, and you still need a little doll to shoot a pheasant and rabbit, wouldn't you be ashamed of me." You're waiting here. Let's go and go back. ”

The Tiger Prison is located between the mountains, surrounded by mountains and mountains, with many birds and beasts. Although the army was stationed in Guanzhong, it scared a lot. But there was no fighting for more than ten days, and there were still many birds and beasts on the nearby mountains.

Qin Qiong and several people came to the bottom of the mountain with bows and horses, all of them were generals in the army, and their archery skills were accurate, and in less than half an hour, everyone came back with three or four pheasants.

Li Mingyu took advantage of a few people to go up the mountain to hunt, first dug a large lump of yellow mud with a small medicine shovel given by Sun Simiao, reconciled it with water, and then sent people to the camp to get a big pot, ginger and onions and other condiments, and boiled hot water. Seeing that a few people were returning with prey, they were not polite, and ordered the pheasants to be gutted and cleaned.

Then Li Mingyu taught a few people to wrap most of the pheasants with their feathers in yellow mud firewood and grass, pile them into more than 20 mud lumps, and prepare to make a fire to simmer and roast. Blanch the remaining few with boiling water and simmer in a pot of fragrant chicken broth.

Wei Chigong saw that Mingyu was going to make a fire in the camp tent, so he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Doll, let's go to the camp to get it, the army strictly orders that no fire can be lit without authorization except for the stove room." ”

Li Mingyu rolled his eyes and said, "Just such a thing, how many people can eat?" Go to the stove room, but you know it, it's all in the army, are you embarrassed to eat alone? When the time comes, you will take a bite of me, will there be any leftovers! ”

Li Shiji frowned and said, "This is a violation of military law, if you show people the smoke of the cooking and think that there is a fire in the camp, the crime is even greater, it is better for me to take it." ”

Mingyu smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, I already have a way, isn't there no cooking smoke, and it depends on my means." ”
