In the camp of the Tiger Forest Army, Yuwen Envoy, who was with the pigs just now, is now with the horses, and he is also smiling when he looks at the war horses in the stables happily eating the forage in the trough.

War horses are common in the north, but in the Yangtze River basin where there is no excellent horse-producing land, it is different, Yuwenwen has done his best to save up for a long time, plus the capture of Chen Zhan this time, he has saved nearly a thousand war horses, barely enough for three cavalry.

That is, the quantity looks good, but the quality of many war horses is just qualified, but for Yu Wenwen, he has done his best, everyone wants war horses, and there will not be too many war horses.

In order to maximize the power of the cavalry, he promoted Shi Wansui, who performed well in the battle against Chen this time, to the commander of the cavalry of the three buildings.

When the Hulin Army ambushed Chen Guoxiakou reinforcements, Shi Wansui led the cavalry to break the opponent's Chinese army in one fell swoop, and later led the soldiers to pretend to be the Chen army and suddenly took Wuchang, so the promotion of military merits is also convincing.

At the beginning of the establishment of the army, Yuwen Wen firmly grasped the few cavalry in his hands, led by his henchman Yuwen Fifteen, and now the scale has increased, and he is not a cronyism, so in line with the purpose of 'doubting people do not need to be used, employing people is not suspicious', the cavalry is also to set up a model of 'meritocracy', and Yuwen Fifteen is still too tender, so Yuwen Wen decided to let him follow Shi Wansui to learn how to use cavalry.

"Master Shi, when the Santai River water conservancy repair is completed, you choose a good place to be a horse farm, don't let these horses hold back." Yu Wenwen said to Shi Wansui on the side, this new military master is now leading people to take care of war horses, and the problem of the horse ranch is also a headache for him.

"Envoy, the last general has surveyed many places, and has preliminarily selected two places to level the land when the embankment is repaired and will not be flooded." Shi Wanzai replied. These war horses are not easy to come by, so he also personally urged his subordinates to take care of them, and according to the plan, it is also a headache to breed horses in the future.

War horses need to run more even in normal times, but where does the vast grassland come from in this part of Bazhou, you can only choose a waterfront wilderness without snails and circle it cheaply, and with the increase in the number of horses, it is imperative to expand the horse farm.

Yu Wenwen is not good at raising horses, but someone will, and he is responsible for logistics support, and the consumption of raising a war horse is as high as three or four soldiers, so these nearly a thousand war horses, plus those heavy horses, the consumption on weekdays also makes Yu Wenwen have a headache.

Fortunately, there are people and siblings, and the boundaries of Xiyang County are full of weeds, and from time to time the soldiers are mobilized to mow the grass as a release, and everyone is happy, if you are lucky, it is more fun to catch rabbits, pheasants and other wild meat. Yuwen Wen racked his brains and worked hard to maintain the Tiger Forest Army.

The sound of drums in the barracks seemed to be urging something, and everyone in front of the stable was in good spirits, and Yuwen Wen hurriedly came from the pig farm not only to "be with the horses" but to have something equally important to do......

The soldiers gathered in the school field with murderous spirits, staring at the people in the field with a pair of tiger eyes, today is a critical day and victory or defeat is at this moment!

The previous southward battle of the Hulin Army showed 'ferocity', a surprise attack on Fanshanshu, ambushed Yongxing, Xiakou, and Yangxin reinforcements, and then staged a scene to skillfully capture Wuchang City, and there was a blood-pumping 'Defending Wuzhoushu' and a breathtaking 'land boat'. After a series of victories, everyone took the reward softly.

However, all this is in the past, and there are still very important things to do in front of us, because there is a big competition today!

Dabi, is a violent collision between buildings, if the victory then the whole building of the three hundred men will have fallen, the winning prizes are so rich that people toss and turn, so the cheering soldiers almost shouted hoarse.

The format of the competition is simple: relay races, jousts and tug-of-war. In the relay race, each building draws lots to select seven tithes for the 11-person relay run, and the best-of-seven system is promoted.

In the competition, each building drew lots to select seven tithes. The soldiers on both sides also drew lots, wore protective gear, and went to the field one-on-one, using weapons such as bamboo knives and spears (headless). The winner was determined by the best-of-11 games, and the best-of-seven system was promoted.

Finally, it is a tug-of-war, each building selects its own fourteen tithes to each two tithes as a group of seven groups, and the two sides arrange their own one to seven playing order to win four in seven games.

The three major items will be awarded the winner and have a grand prize, and the whole building will have a day off, if there are two winners, it will be a two-day holiday, if it is three days off, but this is not the point, the focus is on other benefits.

In the open space next to the school grounds, there are several new kitchen utensils - large iron pots. The men were busy around the more than ten cauldrons, and there were all kinds of ingredients on the board next to them, and the dishes that had been prepared exuded an attractive fragrance and floated to the school field, making the soldiers restless.

The pot, which is a wok, is an unheard of cast iron wok; Shovel is a stir-fry spatula. It is a stir-fry spatula that makes people have a lot of memorable taste.

And the pots and shovels that are made out of pots and shovels are the sauce elbows and Dongpo meat that hook the 5,000 soldiers of the Hulin Army.

The sauce elbow and Dongpo meat made by the Hulin army are the best delicacy in the world, and the soldiers know for the first time that the pig's trotters and pork can be made so delicious, and the taste makes people still have an endless aftertaste after eating.

The sauce elbow is crispy and tender, not greasy, not stuffed teeth, and the taste is fragrant; Dongpo meat, thin skin and tender meat, red and bright color, mellow and juicy, crispy and not broken, fat but not greasy.

Although I don't know what Dongpo meat means, these two dishes were immediately well received as soon as they were launched, and somehow at first, everyone had a share, and everyone ate it a few times, and it became a prize after remembering it, and today's big competition can make every soldier in the winning building eat enough.

The second-class ones can be tasted fresh, as for the others, you can only look at them, although the other dishes are also good, but there are always no two mouth-watering things: a few pots of sauce elbows can be divided into at least two per person on average, not to mention what Dongpo meat, at least six pieces per person.

For this big competition, the guys have been preparing for several days, and early this morning, the sky above the barracks echoed with the howls of killing pigs, and the sound made everyone unable to sleep and thought about the delicious sauce elbow and Dongpo meat, and now is the time to play with life!

Yuwen Wen, who had just rushed from the pig farm next door, changed his military uniform and crowded in the group of soldiers with the generals to cheer up, and now Yuwen Lingjun, who had burned the bag to the point of bankruptcy, continued to burn money to boost the morale of the army in line with the principle of 'no worries about debts'.

Iron pot, about the specific period of its appearance There are different opinions, but the large-scale popularization was after the Song Dynasty, because it was not until the Northern Song Dynasty that the term "stir-frying" appeared, and it was still a non-mainstream recipe at the beginning, Yuwenwen worked hard to get a qualified cast iron pot, which added a force to the expansion of the "foodie empire".

But it is not enough to have an iron pot, the soy sauce that was commonplace in later generations is not available today, or it is only in its original form: the '醢' used by Zhou Tianzi thousands of years ago is the oil that chops meat into a meat puree and then ferments, and the ancestor of soy sauce made of beans at this time should be the soy sauce and soybean soy sauce used by the world.

Historically, the name of soy sauce appeared in the Song Dynasty, and the perfection of the brewing process was in the Southern Song Dynasty, and now Yuwenwen has advanced it hundreds of years in advance, although the brewing process still needs to be improved, but it is already a cross-era thing.

With soy sauce, you can make sauce elbow and Dongpo meat, as long as you have these two deliciousness, plus the promotion of iron pot and soy sauce, the demand for pork will naturally soar, and the practice of pork will also be rich.

Yu Wenwen looked at the delicious flavor of the pot and thought in his heart: When the time comes, Bazhou pork will be famous all over the world, who will say that I am a pig Tai Sui! (To be continued.) )
