Chapter 564: Refrigerator Sorbet
While Tuturak was waiting, Turgan came in with a group of young soldiers. These are all tribal boys, and Li Chengji has plans to increase the number of juvenile camps, so let the tribe's juveniles over the age of 15 also respond to the edict.
Now all the young men between the ages of fifteen and eighteen are organized into a queue to distinguish themselves from the other older soldiers. At this time, it is the time to break away from the temperament, and the teenagers are not deeply involved in the world, unlike those older soldiers who have a very defensive mentality.
So it didn't take long for these teenagers from different tribes and even languages to wear a pair of pants. Turgan is the leader of these teenagers, firstly, he has good skills, and secondly, he is old, and he has lived in the capital of Daliao for a long time, and he is more knowledgeable than those teenagers who have just gone far away.
"Daddy! Our brothers have made meritorious contributions, shouldn't we be rewarded with something? As soon as Turgan entered, he smiled at Tutulak and begged for reward.
"This is the barracks, call me Commander!" Tuturak said with a deliberate face.
Turgan suddenly grimaced and gave Tutulak a standard Khorasan military salute. In fact, this is the head-up salute of later generations, the arms are bent at forty-five degrees, and the fingertips are level with the eyebrows. With his head held high and his body straight, he looks very energetic.
"Tell the commander, our team captured three prisoners of the Xia Kingdom and killed six, please reward!" , Turgan said in an official tone. The soldiers on the side looked at it and couldn't hold back a smile.
Although the prison was responsible for all the rewards and rewards in the barracks, due to the rapid expansion of the Khorasan army, the prison was also scarce. Therefore, this year's army composed of steppe tribes has been temporarily returned to the generals. However, there are prison officials who patrol and stay in different military camps back and forth, and those who have filled their pockets and lied about their military exploits can be reported to the truth. Once it is verified, it is a matter of losing its head.
Therefore, the current atmosphere in the barracks is quite clear, and there are very few cases of corruption and perversion of the law.
"Accumulate military merits, and reward them later!" Tuturak looked at Turgan's fake face and responded.
Turgan immediately weakened, turned his back to the young followers below, and winked at Tuturak and said, "Dad! I'm boasting, and you'll reward us. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to be a commander! ”。
Tutu Alla immediately thought it was funny, but the young man was angry, isn't that what it is! He pretended to be angry and said: "There are still twenty boxes of canned mutton in the barracks, you can take them and eat them!" ”。
"Ahh Father! You can't do that! ", Turgan protested. Because canned mutton is the most common canned food in the barracks, it tastes fresh at first, and after eating it for a long time, you will find that it is not as delicious as fresh mutton. So canned mutton has become a food that everyone is reluctant to accept.
"Call me Commander! How? Not too little, is it? Tuturak asked with the strength of a commander.
"Yes! Reward of Commander Xie! Turgan said reluctantly.
Tuturak's eyes flashed with a look of urgency, and he added, "Go to the ice vault and get a box of sorbet!" Don't complain that I, the commander of a thousand, have deliberately mistreated you. ”。
In a desert land with four seasons in one day, it is a great pity in life not to have sorbet. So Li Chengji asked people to get the sorbet out in the old days, and made different flavors according to different ingredients. For example, jujube milk cake made with red dates, milk and sugar, as well as sour nut cake made of yogurt, almonds, melon seeds and other things, there are other different flavors, according to different proportions, the taste is not the same.
It's easy to make, but it's more cumbersome to preserve. Therefore, while building an ice storage underground, it is necessary to make relatively simple storage equipment on the ground.
So Li Chengji borrowed Xiaozi's knowledge base to make an original version of the refrigerator. It is to use raw materials such as wood, iron sheet, cotton, sand, ice cubes to make a three-layer box with three layers of inside and outside. The outermost layer is covered with iron sheets, and the inside is a very thick piece of wood. The middle is insulated with cotton and sand. Ice cubes are placed in the innermost part to keep the temperature above freezing.
At the same time, changing the water in the refrigerator every once in a while can be a bit troublesome.
But the workshops in Khorasan have already made refrigerators for sale, and ordinary people only need to change the water and ice from time to time to buy them. In addition, Li Chengji built large ice storage rooms in Malu, Puhua, Yeli and other cities. In fact, the amount of work is not large, only the ice houses of the original rich and noble families can be expanded.
When summer arrives, the ice house sells ice to the outside world. The price is not too expensive, a cubic meter of ice bricks only costs one copper coin. Even ordinary people can buy some ice cubes to cool off in the hot summer.
Most of the wealthy families in Ganzhou City built ice storage, and as the temperature rose, the military camp also began to make sorbet. The whitewater post was converted from the yard of a landlord, and there was also an ice store underneath. It's not big, but it's enough to make sorbet.
In this era, the types of food eaten are very monotonous, so sorbet, which tastes good and cools away the heat, is simply a must-have in summer. Even if it's not summer yet, you can feel the heat as the temperature rises during the day.
When Turgan heard of this reward, he immediately rejoiced. This sorbet has only been distributed once every five days since it was supplied to the barracks. When he first tried it, he felt that he had never been so comfortable living so big. So without even saying a word of thanks, he happily led the little followers to receive the reward.
Tutulak looked at it and secretly scolded Turgan for being a spineless stinky boy.
But when he saw the eyes of the other soldiers in the house, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Order the ice warehouse to send a box of sorbet, you can't just cheapen those little cubs." ”。
The soldiers immediately smiled, and even said that the commander was wise and martial. Tuturak knew they were slapping on the back, but he enjoyed it.
And the results of the interrogation here are also out! What made Tuturak happy was that from Liu Zhaoyi and the others, he actually got an important piece of news. That is, the Xia army on the side of Delete Dan has been brewing a counteroffensive as the soldiers and horses continue to gather.
Although emissaries had been sent to negotiate with Khorasan, this did not mean that the war was over. And the negotiation has never been able to be beaten before talking, and Xia Guo has never fought seriously before. Now that the army has gathered, it is time for Khorasan to see the strength of the Xia Kingdom.
So Liu Zhaoyi and the others came, firstly, to find out some winds and grasses in Khorasan, and secondly, to find a place.
Although the three of them didn't know what the place was used for, the order from above was for them to go there themselves.
And this matter was explained to the three of them separately, and they didn't know that the other party also knew about it. Therefore, the interrogating generals believed that the credibility of this matter was very high.
