Chapter 86: Sour Plum Soup

Throughout June, Liu Yong spent the whole month busy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Since he got the baggage from Nanyang, Liu Yong is no longer busy with food and grass, and the more than 20,000 newly collected Nanyang soldiers can't be integrated with the new field soldiers all at once, and the most important thing is to retrain.

Liu Yong's previous code of conduct for the New Field Army was immediately taken out and used.

When did these Nanyang soldiers receive such strict training, crying fathers and mothers one by one, many people were punished, and there were even several small-scale riots in the middle, which were naturally ruthlessly suppressed by various generals.

The rest of the people were taken to the garrison of the New Field Army for a visit, and they were immediately like frosted eggplants, because the military regulations enforced by the New Field Army were stricter.

That was the military regulations that Liu Yong formulated again later, and even refined to the time to eat and go to the thatched house, of course, this refers to the time for preparation and training.

After the sergeant of the Nanyang Army was honest, the training was finally on the right track, and the effect was naturally very good.

There were selected personnel interspersed with the Xinye Army, and the strength of each army increased rapidly, and Liu Yong's power was stronger.

Another important thing is to build a weapon for Zhao Yun.

The blacksmith who built Xuanyue for him had already been secretly received by him to Xinye, plus he came from all over the place, and there were also many blacksmiths brought from Nanyang, so Liu Yong formed an organization specializing in building weapons-Bingge.

The old blacksmith's surname is Meng Mingtong, and now he has become the head of the Bingge, he was promoted by Liu Yong, so he is naturally grateful to Dade and only listens to Liu Yong's orders.

After returning from Nanyang, Liu Yong drew a design drawing of the spear according to Zhao Yun's requirements, which was seven inches longer than the original Mochizuki, the tip of the spear was blade-shaped, not like the original quadrangular pyramid, and the tip was slightly curved, and the body of the spear had dragon-shaped fine lines, which was not easy to slip off on the battlefield.

The head of the spear bites the head of the spear with the dragon's mouth, like a long dragon devouring, which is very powerful.

This design makes the tip of the gun less susceptible to damage, more resistant to blows than sharp edges and corners, and not easy to break.

Liu Yong showed the drawings to Zhao Yun first, and Zhao Yun immediately liked this weapon.

handed over the drawings to Meng Tong, and Meng Tong's eyes immediately lit up.

At the same time, there was also a lot of cold iron handed over to Meng Tong, and adding it was enough to increase the power of this gun by three points.

The matter of Zhao Yun's weapon came to an end, and Liu Yongxin landed on a large stone.

In the same month, the famous cloth and belt edict incident in history, in addition to Liu Beizai, who was exempted from punishment, other related figures such as: Che Cavalry General Dong Cheng, Partial General Wang Fu, Changshui Lieutenant Chongji, General Wu Zilan, etc., were all killed by Cao Cao and exterminated the three clans.

Liu Yong also sighed when he heard the news.

At the end of the month, Huo Jun finally returned to Xinye, and Liu Yong personally went out of the city to greet him, which moved Huo Jun very much.

Huo Jun was originally a person who had been a Taishou, and he was a general, Liu Yong directly handed over the infantry army to him, which was originally divided into Zhou Cang and Liao Hua, and now it was temporarily handed over to him to be in charge, and the other two were the commanders of each department.

In July, the weather is already hot, and it is too hot to hide under the trees.

Liu Yong thoroughly felt the difference in the weather in ancient and modern times, and the difference between cold and hot in the four seasons in modern times is simply incomparable compared to ancient times.

At noon, you can burn your head, and the scorching sun is worse than the fire.

But Liu Yong has a secret weapon.

Sour plum soup!

This is what he had planned for a long time.

In ancient times, there were many things, so you had to figure out how to do it yourself.

June is the time when plums are ripe, and Liu Yong has already ordered people to buy them everywhere.

There are many plums in the wild, as long as you are willing to pick them. Liu Yong's move is simply another hot topic, and everyone knows what Liu Yong is going to do.

As a common person, he just said that he has no ability to do it, as long as he follows Liu Yong to make money, it's just a big deal to run away and spend some effort.

It is not difficult to make sour plum soup.

First of all, the harvested plums are washed and dried for a few days to remove the moisture.

Then rub it with coarse salt and put it in a jar. Sprinkle a layer of salt on the bottom of the jar and put a layer of plums, then a layer of salt and another layer of plums, until it is full, and finally seal it with salt.

Salt is a scarce material in this era, but this is difficult for Liu Yong, with his strength, this is not a problem. Besides, as a rich and prosperous place in the country, can Jingzhou be without salt?

Finally, seal the jar for a month, and when the plums come out of the water, the water has flooded the plums, and then it is done, and the water that comes out is plum vinegar.

What Liu Yong wants is this plum vinegar.

Plum vinegar was very salty and sour, and Liu Yong used it to mix it with water until he experimented with a suitable ratio, and the delicious sour plum soup was on the market.

In an instant, like a typhoon, the sour plum soup quickly swept through the nine counties of Jingxiang and became an indispensable product for rich families. Although the poor people can't drink it every day, they will still treat themselves and their families and buy some back at the right moment.

Of course, the price set by Liu Yong is not expensive, a penny per bowl, and it is strictly forbidden to raise the price in places where he can influence.

Liu Yong made a lot of money again, as for the money used to buy and buy salt to open up the joints, compared with the income, it is simply negligible, Liu Yong sleeps and dreams sweetly.

So much so that every time Hua Tuo saw Liu Yong, he said that he was a profiteer.

However, I heard from the next person that Hua Tuo filled Liu is sour plum soup in the wine pot every day, and every time Liu Yong was scolded by the profiteer, he gritted his teeth and wanted to rush up and open his wine gourd to Lu Ludi.

However, this idea can only be thought of, this miracle doctor is just such a person, it is difficult to guarantee that he was seriously injured that time and waited for him to save his life, but he didn't dare to run away.

However, Liu Yong estimates that now is to drive Hua Tuo away, and he will not necessarily leave, unless he ...... Liu Yong left.

However, when everyone is happy, there are still people who are unhappy.

In Jingzhou Mufu, the Kuai brothers were sitting in front of Liu Mian, and the bowl in their hands was clearly sour plum soup.

The three of them were frowning.

Liu Yong's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and the tricks of making money one after another, there is never a shortage of money, which makes them constantly afraid and headaches at the same time.

"Zirou, Xenodu, aren't you resourceful, can't you think of any way to suppress Liu Yong?" Liu Biao asked, frowning.

"My lord, Liu Yong, this is a means of righteousness and light, and I can't wait. In addition, now that the Huang family, the Pang family, and the Cai family are all with him, if something happens, Liu Yong has not spoken, and those families will come out early. According to rumors, now the Ma family is also catching up with them. Kuai Yue smiled bitterly.

"Xiangyang Ma family? Why did they go with Liu Yongcao? Liu Yong was startled when he heard this, stood up, and paced back and forth in the hall.

"My lord, now that Liu Yong is full-fledged, it is not easy to suppress it, but there is a shot below, which is a plan to "drive the tiger and devour the wolf". Kuai Liang said.

"Zirou, what is the plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf?" Liu Biao immediately rushed to Kuai Liang and asked.

Kuai Yue also looked at his eldest brother with a curious expression.

Kuai Yue cleared his throat and said: "Now that Zhang Xian's father and son have not rebelled, Liu Yong is another big hidden danger. In short, no matter who wins or loses, it will be beneficial to us. What do adults think? ”

"Good! What a plan! What a plan to kill three birds with one stone! Zirou is really a great talent in the world. Come on, do it! Liu Biao was overjoyed, his heart was overjoyed, and he drank it with the two brothers of the Kuai family when he picked up the bowl, but they clearly drank the sour plum soup created by Liu Yong.
