Not to mention the envy, jealousy and hatred here, after checking the number of people on the other side, more than 1,000 people were brought into the camp. Where are the novels updated the fastest? Please look out for the biquge.info prisoner of war camp is still empty, except for a wooden fence around it, nothing else has been erected. Only the ground was marked with lime lines, and building materials such as timber and straw were piled up in the corners.

The prisoners of war looked at each other, and their eyes showed a look of joy - sure enough, as the officer of Naliao Town said, the camp should be built by itself! Fortunately, it is still early in the day, and there is a period of daylight time available, otherwise it would be miserable to do it in the dark.

It's just that many people immediately touched their shriveled stomachs again, and they hardly ate anything all day, and after walking for such a long time, it would be good to be able to stand firm at the moment, and then they had to do heavy work...... It's a lot of choking.

A few people looked at the Liaozhen officer, hoping that he could help say a few words, but the officer seemed to know what they were thinking, and just waved his hand nonchalantly: "Don't worry, when you get to the ground, you will definitely not starve to death here." In the future, your food will be in charge of the Qiong Navy, and they will eat much better than us. ”

As he was talking, he saw a cart in front of him, and there were baskets of steamed buns piled up on the cart. There are also a number of large wooden barrels, which are steaming when the lid is lifted, apparently filled with hot soup. The captives were all excited at once—all the steamed buns were piled up in those baskets! The soup bucket is also fragrant, I don't know what kind of good thing it is. But at least one thing is certain: this meal will definitely be the best meal they have had since they were captured!

The short-haired soldiers were apparently adept at doing this, beckoning the prisoners of war to line up in order, and at the same time assigning the ranks in advance in small groups of ten, and assigning a random captain before asking them to line up in small groups to receive food. He also told them to go to work after eating, including all future affairs, to act as a team as a unit, and not to run around alone.

Because you can only get food if you have a queue of people, slowing down or disrupting discipline in such a situation will only be a waste of your time. Under the temptation of white-flour steamed buns, the captives were extremely cooperative, and in a short time the more than 1,000 people were all distributed, and every time they were divided, a group of people hurried to the side of the food distribution vehicle to line up, and if the movement was a little slower, ten people would line up in front......

After a long day, the hungry prisoners of war finally received two white-flour steamed buns and a bowl of hot soup each, and the wooden rice boxes used to hold the soup were allocated to each person, and they were told to take care of them, and if they were lost or damaged, they would be useless next time.

Many people are attracted by the aroma of the hot soup, and before they can find a place to sit down, they take a big sip, and then they often spit it out with a loud "ah" - the soup has a lot of pepper and paprika, and there is plenty of salt, and it smells fragrant, but it tastes salty and spicy, and the taste is extremely strong. In this era when chili peppers are not very popular, many people are not used to this taste.

But since the chefs of the Qiong Navy have prepared this kind of soup, there is naturally a reason for it - a bowl of hot and spicy soup in this cold weather is the most appetizing and sweaty, and the slightly salty taste also helps to replenish a large amount of salt consumed.

After adapting, the prisoners of war really had a great appetite, and one by one they dipped in hot soup and steamed buns, and they were very happy, and everyone was sweating profusely after eating. After eating, I sat down and rested for a while, and the fatigue and fatigue accumulated from the previous continuous journey suddenly decreased a lot. The body is also restored, so that they can do the heavy work in the future, both mentally and physically.

…………

In the process of sorting out the prisoners of war in the Joan Navy, the escorts did not leave or stand idly by, but took the initiative to help - they were all veterans who knew what to do and when. Sure enough, after all the prisoners of war had been arranged, the little leader of the Qiong Navy said that since everyone had not eaten, it was better to stay and have a meal together.

The escort team here is waiting for this sentence, and the soldiers don't play fake politeness, they smile and say "that dare is good", and then follow into the camp - everyone knows that the food of the Qiongzhou army is good, and it would be stupid not to take this opportunity to stay and have a meal.

However, the class division in the Qiongzhou army has always been very loose, and the food eaten by these soldiers is not much different from that of prisoners of war - the same white flour steamed buns and spicy soup, but the number is not limited. Of course, there must be some special preferential treatment after all -- after several officers of the escort team were invited to sit down at the dinner table together, they saw their counterparts from the Qiongzhou army on the opposite side carrying out a pot-bellied ceramic jar and sealing the mouth tightly with a mud seal.

"Is it wine?"

The junior officer was a little surprised, thinking that he had always heard that the military discipline in Qionghai Town was very strict, could they allow casual drinking in the barracks? But the other party's answer immediately dispelled his doubts: "It's not wine, it's meat ......"

The master lifted the mud seal oil paper, used a portable dagger to dig out pieces of solid from it and put it on the table and plate, and the officers of the Ming Army present looked at that thing with some surprise: a pink lump, a bit like dough mixed with pig's blood, what kind of animal can grow this kind of meat?

"We call it 'jar meat', try it, it tastes very good."

Under the persuasion of the host, the guests half-believed and tasted a little, and sure enough, it tasted a little meaty, but not too much. There are no tendons or bones, and it feels like some kind of pasta mixed with meat sauce. But the taste is really good, there is a strange umami and aroma that lingers on the tip of the tongue.

The guests were quick to embrace the food, and they followed the example of their hosts by sandwiching the slices of meat into steamed buns and praising the freshness and deliciousness. This made the Joan naval soldiers on the opposite side also happy: "...... yes, we think it tastes good, too. And it's very convenient: it can be eaten raw, fried, grilled, stewed, or sandwiched in steamed buns as it is now...... Either way. It tastes better than marinated bacon...... It is stored for a long time, and it can be eaten anytime and anywhere when the jar is opened. But for some reason, our chief likes to say it's junk food. They call it 'luncheon meat'...... There is no benefit to saying it other than being a little more convenient. ”

-- Of course, these Ming Dynasty residents could not understand the greasy taste of ham sausages in modern times, especially since they knew that in the food processing factory presided over by Wu Nanhai, all the canned food used to make zuò such "jar meat" was slaughterhouse scraps. In addition, in order to preserve it for a long time, a small amount of preservatives is added to the recipe of canned meat. Although Wu Nanhai assured that the preservatives used are also natural materials, and a small amount of food is definitely harmless to the human body, who dares to believe the words of the food business? Even if Wu Nanhai is with them.

However, this kind of canned "jar meat" is very popular in the army, and when the samples have just been taken out from the food factory in Wunanhai, and the shape has not yet been finalized, the logistics department of the military group immediately placed a large order -- according to the logistics regulations of the Qiong Navy: Soldiers need to consume a certain amount of fat and protein every day to ensure their nutritional balance, and they can solve the problem by building their own farms when they are stationed, and it is more troublesome for those who are out on the battlefield.

This time, the army went to Shandong, and the logistics department prepared a large number of live pigs and cured meat, which was very troublesome, and it was not even easy to arrange the cabin space on the ship. In the future, it will be much easier to switch to this kind of deep-processed product - you only need to calculate the quantity and send a batch of canned meat at regular intervals. If you want to eat fresh food, you can try to solve it locally, anyway, our logistics meet the requirements of the regulations!

Of course, this is the ideal situation in the future, and the current output of canned "jar meat" is far from completely replacing cured products, including the formula and additive types of canned meat are also being repeatedly modified. So each batch of canned meat will taste slightly different. And the Shandong unit of the Qiong Navy is also the first batch of actual combat troops to really taste this kind of canned meat, except for the test personnel.

However, no matter what the taste, the response was very good in the tasting troops below. After all, spices are used in large quantities in food factories on Hainan Island, and they are now proficient in using a variety of seafood as natural MSG for freshness. In order to ensure the timely supply of the Shandong troops, the logistics department was also quite brutal in urging the goods, and often a batch of new products were directly sent to the cargo ship as soon as they came off the assembly line, and even the internal inventory of the food factory could not be retained.

All the Qiong Navy soldiers who were able to receive these "jar meats" from the logisticians generally regarded it as a very handy meal to greet guests. And those Ming officers and soldiers who tasted this taste for the first time regarded it as a delicacy.

…………

Due to the relationship between the "meat" of this jar, the atmosphere at the table is very harmonious. Looking at these hairy young men in front of them, who shouldn't have any scheming, several experienced Ming army officers couldn't help but knock on the side and ask: Why did Navy Qiong eat white noodles for those prisoners of war? If it is to win people's hearts, the price is too high, you must know that even if they are middle- and lower-level junior officers of the Ming Dynasty, they may not necessarily eat fine food every meal.

As a result, the short-haired soldiers were completely confused, and only looked at each other, saying that they would eat whatever food was provided with them, and did not say that they would prepare them separately for the prisoners. Among them, there was a stupid boy who thought for a long time, saying that he went to the supply fleet at the dock to help unload the goods, and saw that all the rice and white flour were transported by the ocean ship there, and there was no coarse grain at all......

In fact, this is normal for the logistics department of the Qiong Navy -- there is no shortage of grain at the headquarters on Hainan Island, but the tonnage of the transport ships is limited, and they must have delivered high-quality grain first. In the warehouse on Hainan Island, there are still a lot of coarse goods such as sweet potatoes and yams for emergency use. However, in the eyes of the Ming army on the Shandong side, it seemed completely wrong - if these shorthairs were not deliberately showing off, how abundant were their food reserves?

After eating this meal, almost all the Ming officers and soldiers present showed a question mark in their minds: Is Qiongzhou Island in Hainan really still the legendary remote and wild place?
