Chapter 32 Compressed Dry Food
Zhang Xian let them discuss, and remembered that when he was studying in the military academy, he was also half military theory and half training practice, and among the cadets of the military academy, they often fought in class, but when they got out of class, they were like brothers. Zhang Xian is also imperceptibly, hoping that the backbone of these future teams will not obey anyone on the battlefield, no first, no second, and among the generals, there must be a momentum not to admit defeat! However, in private, we must be united, and we must have the brotherhood of being saved in the face of death, because maybe today you save your comrades, tomorrow your comrades will save you!
When everyone saw Zhang Xian walking alone to the processing room, everyone stopped the noise and followed Zhang Xian into the processing room. Wang Fu saw that there were several large tiled houses on the huge site, and the guys who worked were in high spirits and overjoyed, and couldn't help but say:
"Hehe, across a mountain, the people outside the mountain are full of sorrow, crying bitterly; The people in the mountain are smiling and energetic, one mountain and two worlds! ”
The little scholar Zhang Fan proudly said to Wang Fu:
"Wang Jiaotou doesn't know, these are all things that my son-in-law has strategized and has already arranged, the people outside the mountain are acting for the gangsters, and the guys in the mountain, the son-in-law is giving double the salary, everyone is naturally full of energy! Childe said, this is a big game of chess, everyone is an important chess piece, they must perform their duties, and if they play well, Zhangfu will definitely not worry about development in the future, and everyone will rise with the tide; But if everyone doesn't do their best, Zhang's Mansion will collapse, and everyone will lose their family's income, and everyone and Zhang's Mansion will be both prosperous and loss-making! ”
After Wang Fu listened, his eyes looked at Zhang Xian even brighter, and said in his heart, good boy, this method of encouraging the morale of the army, you have used it to govern the family, and it is really a hero out of a young man, the old man wants to see how far you can go in the future! Wang Fu began to take the initiative to ask the little scholar Zhang Fan carefully, and listened carefully to everything about the young scholar, for fear of missing a little bit!
Zhang Xian's mind is now on the grain and grass, quickly walked into the processing room, heard his father and the fifth uncle from a distance, the sound of laughter came, the two of them danced hand in hand, like a childlike child, when he saw Zhang Xian, the fifth uncle ran over quickly, holding a few boxy things in his hand, and said to Zhang Xian in a trembling voice:
"Patriarch, we succeeded, succeeded! Today, according to the patriarch's method, the compressed grain and grass are in line with the requirements of the patriarch in all aspects, and I plan to ask the patriarch to inspect and see it, and then send more people to produce at full speed! ”
Before Zhang Xian could speak, Niu Dameng behind him was the first to make a surprised voice and said:
"Is this what Childe said about compressed dry food? It smells so good! ”
The most surprising thing was Wang Fu, who grabbed a brick-sized piece of compressed grass and looked at it carefully, with a fire-like light bursting out in his eyes!
Zhang Xian looked at everyone's curious looks and said to his father:
"Father has worked hard, today the child will first introduce to his father and fifth uncle, this Wang Fu Wang is the head of the family's newly invited family! Wang Jiaotou is extremely capable and resourceful, and he will be an important guest of our family in the future. ”
"Wang Jiaotou, this is the father in front of me, and this is the fifth uncle of this son, who is in charge of all the affairs of the family, and if there is anything in the future, you can all discuss and deal with it."
After hearing this, Zhang Xian's father and fifth uncle clasped their fists at Wang Fu and said, "In the future, Zhang Fu will ask Wang Jiaotou to work hard!" ”
Wang Fu replied sincerely:
"Wang Fu visited the two old men, since the old man has recognized the young master, he will naturally be loyal to his duties!"
Zhang Xian didn't want Wang Fu to reveal too much information about himself, so he immediately grabbed the conversation and said:
"Fifth uncle, you just send one of these things one by one and let everyone taste them! Let me introduce you again! ”
"Hey, hey, good patriarch! Everyone has also seen, according to the patriarch's method, we made two kinds of compressed dry food, can also be called compressed grain and grass, one is eaten by people, one is eaten by war horses, the practice is similar, take this war horse forage as an example, ordinary forage is very fluffy, direct shipment, a car can carry up to two stone forage, the whole volume is already very large, the wind blows, the whole car will overturn, there is no way to load more, and occupy a lot of manpower, now use the patriarch's method, first chop the hay, Then the water flow drives the giant stone mill, grinding day and night, and the grass after grinding is steamed at high temperature, which can kill the moths hidden in the grain and grass! Then add a certain proportion of green salt, soybean meal powder, ginkgo biloba, dried tea leaves, and orange peel and stir well, which can not only prevent the mildew of the forage and extend the preservation time by more than three times, but also compress the grain and grass due to the addition of an appropriate proportion of concentrate and coarse grass to improve the taste of the forage! ”
"Do you see, the most important process is the front of these giant bluestone, weighing about 3,000 catties, all with mules and horses through the pulley to hang up, the finely steamed grain or forage into the mold, and then put down the giant bluestone weight, not only can make the huge volume of forage compressed into only a very small volume, according to the current compressed forage volume, if a car is calculated by volume, you can easily place ten stone forage or seven stone compressed dry food, but it is too heavy, The mule pulls the horse and doesn't move! However, it is absolutely no problem to transport five stone compressed grain and grass in one car! Moreover, for the management of grain and grass in the army, it greatly reduces the space and saves a lot of service men and time! “
"There is also this compressed dry food, specially for the sergeant to eat in wartime, in the past, the soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, once the grain and grass were robbed or burned, the sergeant must be shaken by the army's heart, and he will collapse without a fight! Now the prince grinds the grain finely, adds salt and steames it, and then compresses it with a big bluestone, just this small piece of compressed dry food can be eaten with water, and no matter how strong a man is, he can eat enough! We calculated that a sergeant could carry ten days of compressed dry food, and I had traveled north and south for many years, and I thought that the patriarch was definitely a great achievement! ”
"This compressed grain and grass also has a huge advantage, that is, compared with ordinary grain and grass, it is not easy to catch fire, we have just done an experiment according to the requirements of the patriarch, the same ordinary grain and grass and compressed grain and grass are ignited at the same time, and the ordinary hay has been burned, and the compressed grass is slowly burning!"
When Wang Fu heard this, he could no longer hold back the excitement in his heart, and clenched his hands into fists and said loudly:
"Wonderful, the young master's compressed grain and grass is really wonderful! If there was such a compression of grain and grass in our army back then, how could the old man be worried because of the grain and grass? How many fighters were lost because of grain and grass, and how many soldiers died because of grain and grass! If there is this compressed grain and grass, even if there is no grain and grass with the army, with the ten-day period, how many battles can be obtained at your fingertips! Grain and grass grain and grass, since ancient times, snatching and burning the enemy's grain and grass are a must for soldiers, if this compression of grain and grass can delay half of the fire time, the enemy uses fire to attack the grain and grass, eight or nine times out of ten will fail! The old man dares to say that this little thing created by the young master is definitely a militaristic weapon! ”
When everyone heard Wang Fu say this, they were all excited, and their eyes staring at the compressed grain and grass began to burn, and Zhang Xian's father muttered to himself, This is a pile of gold ingots!
Zhang Xian picked up a piece of compressed dry food, broke off a small piece and put it in his mouth, the taste is definitely not as good as the compressed biscuits of later generations, but it is better than the fragrant and slightly salty in the mouth, compared to the ordinary dry food of this era, I don't know how many times it tastes better! Zhang Xian finally let go of his mood and said to everyone:
"Senior Wang, you have a good reputation, at the beginning, the junior was just thinking about how to complete this imperial mission, but he didn't think so far! By the way, do you all think of me eating alone? Let's try it and tell us how it tastes! ”
"Mmmmmmmm, it's delicious, son, this is much better than the dry food we brought when we were studying, this thing, it looks quite small, but it feels very heavy, if I bring a small bag, I will definitely not starve in ten days!" The first person to speak was the little scholar Zhang Fan, who was talking and eating while snorting!
"Ahem, ahem! Ahem, ahem! Where there's water, there's water! I'm dying! As soon as the deputy captain Fang Kun coughed and spoke, with a poof, a mouth full of compressed dry food powder sprayed out, causing everyone to laugh!
Zhang Xian couldn't help but smile and said: "Eat slowly, eat slowly, this grain and grass are made into compressed dry food, as the name suggests, it is cooked food that dries water and reduces weight and volume, so you have to eat a mouthful of compressed dry food and drink two sips of water, otherwise you will be uncomfortable!" Zhang Xian still cared very much about Wang Fu's opinion, his eyes looked at Wang Fu again, and said:
"How do the old-timers feel about this compressed dry food? Could there be a better suggestion? ”
Wang Fu bowed to Zhang Xian convincingly this time and said:
"Young master, the old man has the courage to make a suggestion first, or ask the young master for permission first!"
Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand what Wang Fuxiang said, so he said:
"Although the old man said that as long as it is a reasonable thing, my son is not allowed!"
