For several days in a row, Qin Ze was busy in the army, a small nine-rank official, as busy as Cheng Laoyou, a third-grade official.

It's really because Li Er heard about the soybean oil. He directly allocated a larger courtyard, and sent a few master craftsmen to Qin Ze who would be the supervisors.

Meiming said that he was here to assist Qin Ze, but in fact, everyone knew that this was just a way for Li Er to master the production of soybean oil.

Anyway, Qin Ze felt that it didn't matter, he would teach him if he wanted to learn, not to mention that there was free coolie.

Several masters are also experienced people, so they naturally know what Li Er means. Therefore, to help Qin Zelai, he spared no effort.

After all, Qin Ze only knows a rough idea, and these masters are all first-class masters, and in many ways, they also make up for the details.

In addition to these masters, they also brought more than a dozen helpers.

It was as if he wanted to control all the situation, but Qin Ze didn't care about this, he also knew that once this soybean oil mill was on the right track, that is, when the three of them left.

However, Wang Dayi and Wang Daniu were indignant and said that the other party was going to unload the mill and kill the donkey. I completely forgot that I was scolding myself for being a donkey.

Someone helped quickly, and the first pot of oil was successfully out of the pot after five days. It took about 300 catties to make.

Qin Ze didn't know how Li Er was going to use this thing, so he could only go to the master who would be the prisoner, so he would use this thing to fry locust powder.

Now the locust powder in Chang'an has reached as much as 100,000 catties, and the warehouses in the two counties can no longer put it down. Li Er also felt that the matter could not be trusted, so with a stroke of the pen, he gave Qin Ze all the oil produced by the soybean oil mill for a month.

I heard that this order made the prisoners jointly write a letter asking Li Er to leave them some soybean oil, but they were ruthlessly rejected.

They didn't know how sad Li Er was now, he couldn't wait for those countless locusts to disappear immediately, how could he delay at this time.

With enough soybean oil, Qin Ze's military rations also began to be made. Fortunately, the long history of being dragged into the water sent more than 100 men to Qin Ze in one go, which allowed Qin Ze to have sufficient manpower.

However, the iron pot has still not been approved, this thing is really too wasteful, especially for Datang, a country with an underdeveloped steel industry. So you can only use a copper pan to fry, but it will be fine.

With the oil, Qin Ze's silent heart fluttered again, first fried instant noodles, and then fried vegetables.

In the end, it was Li Eryi who slapped Qin Ze awake, because the oil in the oil mill was not enough for him to squander.

These days, Qin Ze is really like a donkey in Wang Dayi's mouth, and he is very busy every day. The locust powder that was continuously sent to Chang'an was like a big mountain, and Qin Ze couldn't breathe a sigh of relief at all.

Fortunately, I don't know if it was Li Er's last sacrifice to the sky that had an effect, or if the thief was afraid that the locusts would be eaten and become an endangered species. Finally, in mid-May, heavy rain fell.

With the heavy rain, the raging locusts slowly stopped, and Qin Ze could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

And just when the people were worshipping Li Er, Qin Ze ushered in the most critical day, and today they were going to experiment with the effect of military rations.

Du Ruhui, the secretary of the military department, personally pressed the formation, and Cheng Laoyou and those long histories were all dispatched. The location of the experiment was in Zuo Wuwei.

There are a large number of military drills here every day, and it is convenient to experiment.

Zhou Chang was an ordinary soldier, but he had followed the general to the battlefield several times. has made several meritorious deeds, and now it is a meritorious service, and he has become a team leader, and his subordinates are in command of fifty people.

This time, he also received an order from Changshi, saying that he wanted them to experiment with the newly made military rations. This is not the first time for them, but this time it is a little different, because they heard that not only their own general is coming, but even the military department secretary is also coming.

All of a sudden, their team became the most glorious team in the entire Zuo Wuwei, and they stepped into the big canteen one by one with their heads held high in the eyes of everyone.

As soon as he looked up, Zhou Chang saw his general, and immediately bowed and saluted. Not to mention those newly recruited recruits, being able to have such close contact with the general and the military department is enough for them to brag about it for a day or two.

Qin Ze saw the fanaticism on these people's faces, and immediately felt a little embarrassed in his heart. They don't know what they're going to experience next, and they're still so excited.

However, this made him admire Du Ruhui even more, and others were afraid to avoid it, but he came up by himself, picked up the basin and buckled it on his head without saying a word.

This is a good minister.

Wang Dayi and Wang Daniu also have a new look today, both of them are wearing new clothes. Majestic and high-spirited, looking at Qin Ze, his teeth were itching, and he couldn't wait to kick them alone.

They did this, and this locust eating became sacred.

Zhou Chang lined up with his team, each carrying his own bowl, ready to go to eat. But he didn't find any porridge at all, only saw a pot of boiling water boiling in the pot.

Zhou Chang scratched his head, saluted at the Changshi Song Fang on the side and asked, "Lord Changshi, isn't this the military ration you are talking about?" ”

In the past, every time I experimented with military rations, it was just a new trick in millet porridge. But this time, there was nothing, if he hadn't seen it clearly, he would never have believed it.

"Oh my God, how can this be considered military rations? Is this clearly clear water? ”

People don't survive with food, no matter how unreliable they are, they can't just drink water.

Song Fang knew that Zhou Chang had misunderstood, and pointed to the two big bags that were placed aside and said, "That's your military rations." ”

Du Ruhui had an iron face from the beginning, sat on the side with Cheng Laoyou, and looked at it like this without speaking, which made Qin Ze feel uncomfortable.

These two guys are here, and they can't let go of Zhou Chang, and they look very embarrassed one by one.

After Song Fang said this, he nodded to Wang Dayi and Wang Daniu on the side, signaling that he could start.

The two men were given the order to carry the bag on the ground to the table and stand in front of the pot to signal that they could start.

As a team leader, Zhou Chang has the right to be the first to eat. He came to Wang Dayi with the bowl and sent the bowl up.

I only saw Wang Dayi from the cloth bag. Two large spoonfuls of golden powder were filled, and a burnt smell suddenly spread all around. The soldiers, who were still a little skeptical, also fell silent, stretched their necks one by one, and kept swallowing their saliva.

Zhou Chang, who was holding the bowl, couldn't help but take two sips, and he also felt that his nose was full of burnt fragrance, and he was also a little intoxicated for a while.

"Bang bang!"

I heard two crisp sounds, but it was Wang Dayi who tapped his bowl with a spoon and woke him up from his intoxication.

When those soldiers saw that their team was like this, they couldn't help but laugh one by one, but because of Cheng Laoyou and Du Ruhui, they all held on and didn't make a sound.

Zhou Chang laughed awkwardly twice, and then came to Wang Daniu with the bowl. What Wang Daniu has here is locust powder, which is about the same color as flour after it has been fried.

But the taste was even more burnt, and even Qin Ze himself ate several bowls.

Sure enough, after smelling the smell of locust powder, the crowd made another sound of swallowing saliva.

The last stop was Qin Ze, who was responsible for opening the water and distributing the sacs to them.

In fact, Qin Ze, who was addicted to frying at the beginning, also wanted to put this bag in the oil pan and fry it, but the oil in the prison was really not enough, so he gave up.

"Stir it with chopsticks when eating, and if you feel that this bag is not easy to bite, you can also break it up and soak it in a bowl."

Compared with Wang Dayi and Wang Daniu's high-spiritedness, Qin Ze is much more easy-going.

If this guy is known by them that he is eating locusts, he will probably beat himself to death.

Because flour and locust powder are fried, you can eat them by soaking them in boiling water.

And it's completely sparse and free.

Soon everyone had more of this golden paste in their bowls. Qin Ze took out some fried greens again, put a big bowl on each table, and washed it with boiling water. Suddenly, a large bowl of vegetable soup appeared.

Those who were already curious became even more surprised when they saw the thumb-sized particles slowly turning into palm-sized leaves.

I have to say that the taste of this military food is really good, Zhou Chang used to only think that it would be good to be full, but now that he eats this military food, he has a feeling of enjoyment.

Especially in it, he also tasted meat, which made him feel even happier.

Those recruits' eggs are also very happy to eat. Someone finished eating and stared at the two cloth bags.

Qin Ze didn't know what they meant, and waved his hand to signal them to take it themselves, and take as much as they ate.

Zhou Chang, who watched this scene, gritted his teeth and said that these recruits had no rules. However, for the sake of seeing that the adults who joined the army were all speaking, they did not stop it.

In the past, every time I went to the battlefield, I drank porridge, and after a big battle, the whole person was about to collapse. Now it's different, not only is there such a delicious batter, but also steamed buns to eat, times have changed.

Zhou Chang, these veterans all sighed while eating, and Qin Ze, who saw it, felt a pain in his heart. This is what a country should have in the army, and when it eats good things, it will even think about the country.

In the end, Du Ruhui and Cheng Laoyou also came over, and the two of them also held the bowl, and one of them hit the bowl, so they sat in the middle of the team and ate with them.

Unlike these unsuspecting soldiers, the two of them knew what this thing was, but they still ate happily.

In fact, Qin Ze also planned to eat a bowl, but after seeing Changshi's eyes, he immediately gave up.

Du Ruhui and Cheng Laoyou are buying people's hearts, think about it, one is General Zuo Wuwei, the other is the secretary of the military department, and even people are mouthful, what else can you say.

Even if it is discovered that this is locust powder. The discontent in the hearts of these soldiers will also be weakened.

"It's a human spirit. These are all human spirits, and they still have to buckle their heads with this basin up. ”

Qin Ze couldn't react, but it was still that sentence, everyone said it, whether it was a show or not, he should respect it.
