Shang Wen took a large amount of food raw materials.

The greatest benefit from this war against the north came from a large amount of meat products. Most of the officers and soldiers of the Qin army stationed in the north had begun to like this northern life. Mainly, meat is extremely abundant. So rich that you occasionally want to taste a bite of corn. It's too greasy.

Those Qin troops from Taiyuan County were fascinated by the northern brothers' meals. They fought with the Zhao army, and it was good that the soldiers at the bottom could eat well. But to the north. A large amount of meat is in open supply. Beef can only be eaten in the mainland during sacrifices, but here. But you can feast on it. The soldiers at the bottom couldn't eat, and they had to bite and sleep.

Meng Tian could only smile and shake his head at this. In order to adapt to life in the north, the soldiers of the Qin army also began to herd their own cattle. However, their grazing is done in barbed wire. When the cold winter in the north comes, they also cut the grass by themselves. Sometimes, when they are too busy, they organize the nomadic Xiongnu and Hu people to do it. But it was only women and children who did it. Gradually, the Qin army began to learn from these nomads how to obtain milk, yogurt, mare's milk wine, and make cheese, meat, and so on from these nomads. It can be said that in some habits of life, some of the living habits of the northern nomads have begun to be accepted. At the same time, some transformations were made according to the inherent traditions of the Qin people.

Cold weapons warfare comes from the ability to convert food. Food from the Central Plains can be obtained in a fixed amount, but it is not very high in calories. Steppe nomads have a high calorie diet, but their access is very unstable. The Qin army's war against the north can actually be seen as a kind of food war, and the Qin army is working hard to turn the two food culture habits into one, and the Qin people will unify the grassland. Conquer those nomads. They've started to make improvements, which is to accept, to learn.

When Shang Wen came to the north for the second time, he had already noticed this phenomenon. He was very happy. The Qin people's ability to learn and accept made Shang Wen admire very much. The reason why the Qin State in the Warring States Period was unattainable by later dynasties was mainly due to the open-minded attitude of the Qin people. They can tolerate everything, tolerate everything, and they can take the initiative to learn everything. They were proactive and welcoming. Also very positive.

There is no narrow ethnic divide that leads to one's own rejection of the culture of another. They are very open to all this, sticking to their own cultural traditions, and at the same time taking great care to absorb the strengths of other civilizations.

The first thing Shang Wen had to do was ham sausage, meat grinder, and Shang Wen was ready. In order to fight corruption and improve the quality of meat, salt, garlic, and extremely precious starch are specially added to ground meat. These were all brought by Shangwen specifically from Xianyang. These things, Shang Wen has already planned. It is to improve the food supply in the rear of the Qin army.

Then it's stuffed sausages. Yingyu watched from the side. There was no intention of planning to make a move.

After doing this, you need to leave it for a while if you need to. However, there was still a big foodie beside him, so Shang Wen had no choice but to use Mu Qian to wear a few and roast them on the fire.

"Be careful. Don't bake the paste. Shang Wen repeatedly asked.

"Yes, yes." Yingyu looked at the ham sausage and said.

Then there's luncheon meat, which is actually canned beef. Canned food originated from France, in 1809, the world trade was booming, and seafarers who lived on ships for a long time fell ill because they could not eat fresh vegetables, fruits and other foods, and some also suffered from serious life-threatening scurvy. The Napoleonic government of France offered a huge prize of 12,000 francs for a way to store food for a long time. Many people have invested in research activities in order to win awards. Among them, there is a Frenchman Abel who deals in candied food, and he used all his energy to carry out continuous research and practice, and finally found a good way: put the food into a wide-mouth glass bottle, plug the mouth of the bottle with a wooden cork, put it in a steamer to heat, and then plug the wooden cork tightly and seal it with wax. In this way, the first cans appeared. Abel was rewarded by the French government and warmly welcomed by the seafarers.

For the loading of meat, tinplate is used. galvanized sheet of steel, which requires some special technical requirements. Shang Wen decided to do something else after he was done with this.

Luncheon meat is also considered a type of ham sausage, and after doing this. Shang Wen was busy cutting the meat and then skewering the meat skewers. But halfway through the string, Shang Wen suddenly realized a problem. The problem is so serious that Shangwen ignores the condiments. Cumin powder, no, soy sauce, I don't know if there is. Vegetable oil, quite sure no. It's a fart without that. Shang Wen reluctantly put down the words at hand.

"Hey, why don't you string it." Yingyu saw Shang Wen sitting aside and said.

"There is a shortage of raw materials, and there is a lot of shortage." Shang Wen said with some frustration.

"If you are missing, I'll find it for you." Yingyu said.

"Cumin powder, which contains benzoin, star anise, etc. There is also soy sauce, which preserves the color of the meat and makes people more appetizing. Vegetable oil, the oil used nowadays is basically all animal oil. I forgot about the importance of condiments. Shang Wen said speechlessly.

"It's okay, as long as you make it, I'll eat it." Yingyu comforted.

"No, no. These things, you have to have them, otherwise they will be too unpalatable. Shang Wen vetoed it.

"It's okay, I'll ・・・・・・・" Yingyu hadn't finished yet. Shang Wen stretched out his hand to stop.

"Something seems to be mushy." Shang Wen said.

"Ah, ham sausage." Yingyu shouted loudly.

Then he ran to the fire.

"Hey, hey. And half of it can be eaten. "Look at the charred ham sausage. Yingyu said.

"Forget it. I started ・・・・・・・" Shang Wen suddenly thought of something as he looked at the charred ham sausage.

I can't do that, I can make bread. Although bread also needs vegetable oil, it is in small quantities. It can be replaced with other greases. Then there's the cake, which has a lot of cream, and although there is no sugar, you can use caramel instead, and you can also use honey.

"I thought about it. I've got it. I can make bread, I can make cream cakes. Shang Wen said loudly.

"Is it delicious?" Yingyu asked.

"It's delicious, but it needs to be baked." Shang Wen said.

"Then you should hurry up." Yingyu said.

"However, in the current environment, it will take a day for the dough to be made." Shang Wen said.

"Hurry up. Don't wait any longer. Yingyu immediately ordered.

"Oh. I'll go. Shang Wen said and ran to the storeroom. Bring the flour from Xianyang. This flour is still made by himself with a stone mill. For the by-product of refining damn starch. I don't know if the gang in Xianyang understands the importance of wheat.
