Chapter 43: Cooking, Cooking

"Hey, ha!" Sergeant of the army, under the leadership of Zhang Mo, began training. Entrusted by Li Ming, Zhang Mo became the chief training officer of the army and trained non-commissioned officers part-time.

His 75-point dominance quickly took effect, and in two days, the soldiers would probably already be arrayed, would distinguish between left and right, and would be subjected to their own commanders. If you learn this, you won't be messy in the fight.

While Zhu Jun was still fighting with the Yellow Turban Thieves, Li Ming even planned to teach the formation-breaking marksmanship to further enhance their combat effectiveness. The only problem, as expected, is that of archers, which cannot be trained overnight.

The two thousand soldiers, excluding the five hundred sword and shield soldiers, are almost all pikemen. There were no archers, and there were fifty scouts.

"Captain, the comprehension ability of this group of soldiers is very good! After enlisting in the army for two days, it is no different from those soldiers who have been in the army for nearly a month! When Yang Le saw Li Ming coming, he immediately stepped forward and said happily.

That general, don't like a bunch of thugs under his command? However, the people recruited earlier were all real people, and after two battles, it was very good to have 400 people left.

"Most of them are ruined because of the yellow turban thieves, and now they are training so hard, mainly because they are full of hatred. In contrast, the first batch of conscripts to enlist are all people who plan to make meritorious contributions, and they are not as good as them in terms of faith, and naturally they will not be able to train hard......" Li Ming probably knew why this was the case, after deducting Zhang Mo's dominance factor.

"Train well, the captain said, 'sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime'! I know that you hate the Yellow Turban Thieves, even if you can die with them, you are willing! But are you worthy of the Captain's attention to you? Are you worthy of the family members who expect you to live well? Give me a good drill, and if you don't get tired, keep! Zhang Mo completely turned into a hell instructor and shouted at all the soldiers.

"Whoa!" The soldiers responded one after another, and then continued to practice with more energy.

According to this situation, it seems that before the official expedition, I don't need to pay attention to the situation here! Li Ming looked at Zhang Mo's training and muttered secretly in his heart.

Eventually, the hand began to be free. Li Ming slipped to the side of the Huotou Army without saying a word, and these Huotou Army, who were in charge of cooking, saw Li Ming coming, and they all left their work and waited for the review.

"Go on! I'm not here to inspect you! I said Lao Zhou, what are you going to have for lunch today? Li Ming said to them embarrassedly, and then found Lao Zhou, the military marquis of the Huotou Army.

Lao Zhou used to be a cook, but his knife skills were also good, so he served as a military marquis and managed this firehead army. and Li Ming are also old acquaintances, so Li Ming did not put on a stand as a captain.

"As usual, corn, half a salted fish per person, a small plate of pickles!" Lao Zhou gestured and said.

Fortunately, this time Yingyang's merchants provided a lot of coarse salt, and at the same time purchased some salted fish, to be honest, Li Ming was really fed up with that vinegar cloth, sour and sour, and the smell of those footcloths was almost the same, and it smelled like a biological weapon!

Not to mention cutting it out and putting it in corn and stewing it to taste, God knows how the former soldiers boiled it down!

If you really want to talk about it, Li Ming also remembered that his buddy had said before that during the Warring States Period on the island country, those standard meals were Chazuke. When eating, take off the hat and turn it over, then put rice in it and pour tea into it. The salt produced by the scalp will add some saltiness to the rice......

"Old Zhou! You see that everyone is so familiar with each other, how about teaching me a few hands? Even teach me how to grill and cook! Li Ming pleaded again, saying that Lao Zhou had opened a restaurant before, and it was the best restaurant in Luoyang.

It's just that later, I don't know why, he stopped opening it, and he became a firehead. However, the craftsmanship has not fallen, Li Ming is not rushing at his craftsmanship, and plans to come to learn it many times, but Lao Zhou refuses to let go.

"Or, I'll give you "Battle Duel", and you can teach me cooking, okay?" Li Ming took out a silk cloth.

"How does this make! Forget it, I'll teach you......" How dare Lao Zhou accept it, the chef's status is not high in this year, and he is not as good as him, the marquis of the firehead army. If others say that he relied on his cooking skills and blackmailed Li Ming to practice Qi, then it is estimated that he really doesn't have to be a man.

At the same time, I couldn't help but marvel, what is the situation of Li Ming, for the sake of humble cooking skills, he even took out the method of practicing Qi! You must know how many children of the poor family are begging for a copy, and they may not be able to get their wishes in their lives!

Li Ming: Why is the situation? Of course, I don't want to eat that coarse food anymore! Give him time to practice cooking to LVMAX, I wonder if those cooking methods in the future will also be able to be handy?

If so, then you're in for a treat! Just for the sake of his future blessings, what if Li Ming puts down his body? In the era of lack of cooking methods, just the problem of food has made him depressed for a long time!

You have to learn how to cook, which is even more priority than practicing the Qi method, or some yellow-level martial art!

Lao Zhou agreed, Li Ming naturally followed him to learn, but simply taught it once, and there was already an extra skill of cooking in the life skills: cooking LV1, mastering the basics of cooking, 50% probability of decreasing 50% deliciousness, 45% probability of maintaining the original deliciousness, and 5% probability of increasing 5% deliciousness.

Personally tried to cook a pot of corn, Li Ming completely followed the method taught by Lao Zhou to watch the fire. However, due to the fact that the rice was cooked with firewood for the first time, it turned out to be boiled, which in short, triggered a 50% probability of a 50% decrease in the probability of deliciousness.

I have to say, it does taste very, very bad!

"Captain, why don't you start with barbecue?" Lao Zhou saw that this was not a solution, and immediately proposed.

"Great idea!" Li Ming nodded, if you barbecue meat, at least the roast paste can still be seen, and it should be able to avoid the roast to the greatest extent!

The first barbecue is a small skewer of lamb. Li Ming roasted the meat completely according to the points taught by Lao Zhou, which barely ensured that the barbecue was perfect. This time, there is no penalty for the decline in deliciousness, but there is no way to improve the deliciousness, so it is average.

After more than ten times, the cooking was directly upgraded to LV2, and the skill changed again:

Cooking LV2, master the basics of cooking, 45% probability of decreasing the deliciousness by 45%, 45% probability of maintaining the original deliciousness, and 10% probability of increasing the deliciousness by 10%.

Just by increasing your skill experience, you can easily increase the skill level! It's just that after reaching LV2, the kebabs, it seems that there is no way to improve much experience points!

"Old Zhou, I plan to continue cooking a pot of rice!" Li Ming looked at Lao Zhou.

"That's a good ......" Lao Zhou could also feel Li Ming's progress, and couldn't help but feel ashamed. It had only been a long time before he had been able to begin to control the heat gradually. Is he really, learning to cook for the first time?

Until Li Ming successfully cooked a pot of corn, he was really convinced! In this world, there are indeed 'geniuses'!

But he didn't want to, Li Ming was in the back kitchen, and he just stayed until the evening. Hands-on, chopping vegetables and even seasoning, these can improve some cooking experience, maybe not much, but he can't stop when he's not cooking, right?

In the evening, a stack of ginger-roasted pork, a roast leg of mutton, a pot of corn and a stack of fried vegetables were specially delivered to Li Ming's tent by his own soldiers. In the process of serving the food, the soldiers smelled the smell, and their saliva was about to run dry!

I just feel that in the world, why does it smell so fragrant. At the same time, I couldn't help but hesitate, whether to take a bite or not, Li Ming didn't come back so quickly, if he just took a bite, he shouldn't be able to see it...... Fortunately, the soldier managed to endure it, and then immediately fled, not daring to continue to stay in the tent, lest he not be able to control himself.

"Wow, it smells so good! What smells so good! Outside the tent, the patrol soldier suddenly twitched his nose and greedily smelled the smell floating in the air.

"It seems to be coming from the lieutenant's tent, it smells so fragrant, the lieutenant is going to open a small stove tonight?" Someone suddenly discovered the truth, and it couldn't help but be a little sour.

"Don't talk nonsense! You know, today the captain spent a day in the back kitchen, specializing in learning to cook. These dishes and rice are all made by him! The soldier with the inside story immediately reminded in a low voice.

"Ahem!" Li Ming coughed lightly, it turned out that he didn't know when, he just happened to return here. At the moment, he has a jar under his armpit, and the jar is full of soybeans, and he tries to make soy sauce from soybeans, and if it doesn't work, he tries to make miso, which is very similar to soybean paste, and can also be used to flavor and cook miso soup.

Don't think that this is a specialty of the island country, this is the Tang Dynasty, passed down by the monk Jianzhen, and it is a Chinese thing! Of course, it is not easy to say anything about the subsequent processing and subsequent development of other people's national characteristic seasonings.

Just as football was invented by China, but modern football was invented by the British, what else can you do except sigh?

By the time he entered the camp, his cooking skills had improved to LV4, and if he hadn't been able to cook so many dishes directly with the help of lard:

Cooking LV4, master daily cooking skills, 35% probability of decreasing 35% deliciousness, 45% probability of maintaining the original deliciousness, 20% probability of increasing 20% deliciousness.

"Let's eat, let's eat!" Li Mingduan sat down, directly filled a bowl of rice, and then picked up the roast leg of lamb and took a bite. Although there is no cumin, it is roasted reasonably well, with a golden skin on the outside and a tender inside. The mutton is flavored with rice wine, salt and shredded ginger, which reduces a lot of flavor. The first thing you feel in the mouth is that the meat is tender, and then the original flavor of the mutton is delicious.

The biggest regret of ginger roast pork is that the pork is not a castration, it smells of pig urine, and the taste is also very bad. It's not ideal to neutralize it with ginger wine. However, the ginger is fried very deliciously, in addition to the unique spicy taste, there is a faint sweetness, as well as the fragrance of fried pork, but unfortunately there is no soy sauce to increase the flavor, and the quality is worse than one and a half stars.

"It's delicious, it's so delicious...... it's just two ordinary dishes, but Li Ming is crying and tasting it. After going through this era for so long, I finally ate a meal that everyone eats.

It's great to learn cooking techniques! That's right! Whining...... It's so delicious......
