Chapter 55: Pork and Noodles
The shopping process is fun, but there are really few things that can be bought in such a small place.
Maybe as long as the news spreads, then in a few days there will be more merchants here to trade, after all, merchants are the kind of existence that will definitely dare to take risks as long as there is an absolute profit. But Fang Yun didn't have this time, he waited here for a few days.
I bought a lot of dry food, which was basically dry and hard wheat cakes and fried rice (corn), which could be eaten on the road. This would leave you with the hassle of stopping to cook your meal, and you would save at least an hour or two on the march.
I bought a lot of hydration bags, which had been in short supply before, and many soldiers shared a hydration bag with several people. It is also thanks to the fact that it is the beginning of February, and the weather at this time is much colder than in later generations, otherwise there would hardly be enough water to drink. But no matter what, it's always good to have a hydration bladder in your hand.
In addition, there is linen, thickened linen, in the absence of cotton, thickened linen can be made into warmer clothes, now the weather is not very warm, make some gloves or thick clothes, at least to ensure the combat effectiveness of some soldiers.
As for the more than 500 sets of leather that were bought, they were made into leather clothes for the first time, and this thing was the main warm product in these years; After buying a batch of medicinal materials to stop bleeding and treat wind and cold, the medical camp finally did not have to worry about the lack of medicine...... The most important thing is to buy more than 50 big fat pigs, and the nobles and families would rather eat vegetarian than eat this thing, but most of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army are from ordinary people, so it is naturally not taboo.
Seeing that lunch time had arrived, Fang Yun ordered to kill ten fat pigs and distribute them to the soldiers, and have a good meal at noon today.
But when he really started slaughtering, he realized that people in these years did not eat pork, not because of pig organs, but because they did not have the habit and skill of castration in these years. The pork that has not been castrated not only smells of urine, but also tastes very bad, Fang Yun recalled that when Bo Cai gave him pork, it was no wonder that it tasted different from that of later generations.
At that time, I thought it was the result of the lack of improvement of the variety, but it turned out that the technology was not in place...... However, it seems unlikely to be castrated at this moment, after all, it is generally castrated when the pigs are suckling. However, as long as the treatment method is correct, it can still be eaten, such as by decoction or stewing......
To be honest, Fang Yun actually has a lot of opinions on the issue of food. It's just that they used to be hovering between life and death, so naturally they couldn't pursue too good food. Now that there is a rare opportunity, and the general environment is quite affluent, it is natural that I can no longer treat myself to the taste nourished by the food of the 21st century.
There is no iron pot, you can use the tripod, the tripod was originally a food vessel for cooking meat, and the shape is no different from the iron pot, but the tripod that can be found is bronze......
The meat was directly made of fatty pork, and as the lard was slowly fried, the onlookers around couldn't help but sniff. After all, the smell is too fragrant for them!
Yu Xing watched Fang Yun cook by himself, and he had some opinions, after all, he had begun to slowly develop the saying and habit of 'gentleman cooking' at this moment, in his opinion, Fang Yun personally cooked a bit of a loss of identity. But when I smell it, I can't say anything.
The county commander and the county lieutenant who had no choice but to surrender were also here, they had eaten fatty meat but they had never asked about such a fragrance, and they immediately looked up at the bronze tripod, just wanting to see what was going on inside and why it was so fragrant.
It's a pity that only Xie Yuan can get close, and she was appointed as Fang Yun's cooking assistant.
After the lard was boiled, I naturally found a clay urn and put it up, and the rest of the oil residue was put in another basin. It's just that Xie Yuan, who was in charge of serving, ate a small piece in front of everyone, so that Xie Ran could only cover his forehead and said secretly: You have to take care of this girl, look at this shameful ......
As for the perpetrator himself, he looked intoxicated, but it was not good to start again, so as not to pounce on the guys around him. In the end, I can only bring things to the low table, like a hen guarding the chickens, guarding this pot of oil residue.
Fang Yun didn't say anything, just silently came down and cooked a large pot of braised pork according to a set of processes. In this year, there is salt, vinegar, soy sauce, green onions, garlic, tempeh, plus a pot of pork, and it is indeed not a problem to stew a pot of braised pork.
Don't ask Fang Yun why he did this...... I can't afford to hurt my single life in my previous life......
"My lord, the flour you want has been ground by someone...... What a taste, so fragrant! Li Daniu hurriedly walked over and handed a bag of flour to Fang Yun. Then he sucked his nose, and felt that his soul was taken away by the fragrance.
"Just wait to eat, and your few fireheads, learn from me, and I can't say that I will eat this every meal in the future." Fang Yun kicked Li Daniu's ass, and then turned his head to the firehead sergeant who was waiting on the side.
"Whoa!" These fireheads responded one after another.
In fact, these fireheads are all over thirty-five years old, and their physical strength can no longer keep up with the training of the front-line troops.
If he hadn't known this, Fang Yun wouldn't have called them over to learn this craft, after all, he couldn't teach a few young and strong firehead soldiers, and as a result, others returned to the front-line troops after a few days, so he had to teach others again, right?
Under his demonstration, the fireheads tried to mix the dough, knead and cut the dough. Fang Yun doesn't know how to make noodles by hand, he only makes noodles by cutting noodles. But at this stage, this hand is enough.
A large number of noodles were made, and the braised pork was also smoothly cooked. For a while, the fragrance was full of gardens, and the people around them drooled. I just feel that the things I have eaten before don't smell as good as the pork in front of me.
In addition, the hot water had also been completed, and Fang Yun commanded the firehead army below, but he was holding a large pot of seasonal vegetables, and fried a side dish in the bronze tripod where the braised pork had been cooked.
Finally, add the oil residue, vegetables, braised pork and noodles together, and a bowl of braised pork noodles is successfully baked. At Fang Yun's suggestion, the Huotou Army divided these noodles into bowls one after another and delivered them to everyone present.
Then, there is no longer any sound of talking, commenting, praising or complaining. At the moment, all that remains is the sound of sucking quickly eating the noodles in the bowl. Looking at their gobbling up, they knew fine, but those who didn't know thought they had just fled from......
"Dude, how did you know to do this? Why haven't I seen you do it before? Xie Ran was the first to finish eating, and then walked up with a bowl. It seems that he is here to ask, but in fact, his eyes have been glued to the unfinished noodles......
"Got an opinion?" Fang Yun asked with a smile, and by the way, he blocked in front of those foods, and that formation seemed to mean: If you dare to have an opinion, don't eat it!
"No opinion, absolutely no opinion, brother, you have time to study more, so that we can also have a full mouth, right?" Xie Ran dared to have an opinion, as soon as he ran behind Fang Yun, he asked Huotoujun to serve him another bowl.
Seeing that Xie Ran had already made a move, the others were no longer reserved, and stood up one after another and walked over. Even Xie Niu'er, who doesn't usually eat much, is very ferocious at this moment.
In the end, a dozen or so people should have killed nearly 400 catties of meat from the two pigs, plus 100 catties of noodles. But the consequences are also very obvious, one or two lying on the ground unable to move, that is propped up.
"A few of you, go down and cook this dish for the soldiers...... Kill 10 more pigs! Seeing that they couldn't move, Fang Yun turned around and ordered the few fireheads.
"Whoa!" Several of the fireheads responded, and then immediately left with the guys.
In the end, the meal was full late to three o'clock in the afternoon, and every soldier was extraordinarily active and ate a large amount of braised pork. Many soldiers even cried while eating, and others asked why they were crying, but they said: "I can eat so delicious in this life, and I will die without regrets!" ”
Unconsciously, the smell of braised pork attracted the people, and as a result, all the pigs they bought were killed......
Everyone ate and drank, chatted with each other, and the people who were originally all from Yuzhou had a common language, but the people, who were still a little vigilant and resistant, had already mingled with the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"The mud is covered in trouser legs, sweat is soaking through the back of the shirt......" Seeing that the sky was about to darken, there was a burst of music from the military band.
This is "For Whom" ordered by Fang Yun, which is one of the songs with strong rendering ability in military songs. Whether it is used to deepen the friendship between the people and the Yellow Turban Army, or to let the Yellow Turban Army know what they are fighting for, he has a reason to let this song appear in this time and space.
"Good tune!" All those who heard this song and knew it well cheered.
Even, many people began to shout for another time, and then began to learn. In this era of lack of appointments, being able to learn to sing a song is a rare pastime in normal times.
As a result, the whole city began to sing the tune......
"There are also talents in the Yellow Turban Army, but in half a day, they have already collected all the hearts of the people of Liyang......" The county magistrate of Liyang County couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the singing of the city.
"But most of the Yellow Turbans are mediocre talents, so even if one or two talents appear, they can't make any waves. We surrendered this time only to rebel back to the Han Dynasty later...... The Yellow Turban Army is destined to have no future......" the county lieutenant echoed.
"It's a pity that the general named Fang Yun, if he is in the imperial court, he will definitely become famous!" The county magistrate also began to feel sorry for Fang Yun's destined future.
"He is not a fool, since he still chose the path of the Yellow Turban Army, then we can only see how far he can go in the end...... Of course, no matter what, it has nothing to do with us! The county lieutenant said with a smile.
"It's also ......" the county magistrate smiled and began to try to learn to sing the song.
That night, almost everyone spent the night singing and laughing......
