Chapter 89, The Salt of the Fine

"I don't want to, I never kill the villagers who farm, because I like to listen to the sound of the crops ripening, and I feel very happy when I watch the crops grow up day by day, and I follow the yellow turban thieves to fight the world because of the amount of food, but I never thought of killing these unarmed villagers!"

Mangzi burst into tears, although he had a tendon, he was extremely sympathetic to the slain peasants.

Zu Zhao nodded gently, Mangzi is a simple-minded person with clear eyes, he is the kind of teenager who comes from the countryside, but rarely has scheming, which is why Sima Ju has always been very relieved of Mangzi.

And the reason why Mangzi followed Sima Ju was that Sima Ju gave him a promise, that is, he could give him a leg of mutton to eat every day, looking at his height two meters away, and carrying a three-meter-long knife on his back, which was the material of a peerless general, but he had never heard of it in history.

"Then you are willing to follow me to fight the world? My ancestor Zhao fights the world differently from others, I will let the people under my governance be able to eat, and I can also let my brothers who follow me have food, I take you not to let you fight, but in the future I can give you a few acres of land, marry a daughter-in-law, and never have to fight with me in the future, but live a good life, wife and children hot kang! Zu Zhao spoke lightly, the reason why he said this was because Mangzi himself was born as a peasant, and he said the truth too deeply, and he didn't understand it.

"I will follow you to fight the world, will you build a house for me in the future, give me a few acres of land, and marry a daughter-in-law for me in the future?" Mangzi couldn't help but step forward and ask, it seems that a few acres of land are very good, and how much money can be used to build a house in the countryside?

Zu Zhao couldn't help but be speechless, he was originally a believer, he naturally would not use a few acres of land and a few dollars to buy the future of a peerless general, that would be a blasphemy against the reckless, a peerless warrior in this era of heroes in the Three Kingdoms, it is priceless. As the saying goes, a thousand armies are easy to get, and one general is hard to find, and this is the truth.

But Mangzi is energetic, it seems that he just takes a fancy to a few acres of land, a house, and a daughter-in-law.

Looking at Mangzi's eager eyes, Zu Zhao finally nodded, promising to settle down for Mangzi in the future, let him farm according to his life, and there will be no more wars to fight in the future.

"As long as my Zu Zhao lives, I will fulfill my promise, there is a bowl of dry rice from my Zu Zhao, there is a bowl of thin rice from your reckless, rest assured that the reckless man will follow me in the future, I will not let you suffer a loss!" You're a peerless general, and you deserve a better battlefield! ”

Mangzi nodded heavily, saluted Zu Zhao, and followed Zu Zhao from then on.

"The real masters are all from the people!" Zu Zhao couldn't help but sigh and said, Liu Bei dug up Zhang Yide and Guan Yu from the market, and he also dug up a fierce general like Mangzi in the countryside, but he saw Mangzi flash with his own eyes, a war horse was cut in half, and the three-meter-long big knife flashed, so that the surrounding ten people were directly divided into two sections.

This kind of combat power was a great threat in the era of cold weapons, and the reckless man moved so fast that ordinary archers could barely locate him.

If it weren't for the melon grenade he researched, Mangzi would have almost no chance of failure.

Killed Sima Ju and buried the villagers who died tragically, and then Zu Zhao returned to Jizhou City with people.

As soon as he returned to Jizhou City, he was pulled away by Cao Cao, Cao Mengde seemed to be thinking about Zu Zhao all the time, although Zu Zhao dug his corner and poached Hua Tuo who he valued, but he thought that the tea that Zu Zhao gave him could already make up for this loss, and in his heart he still regarded things like immortals and miracles as more important, even if it was Hua Tuo, the so-called miracle doctor, it could not be compared.

When it came to the big tent, the generals in the big tent were all smiling, because the reward of the imperial court came down, this time Huangpu Song robbed the grain and grass of Huangyuan County, which has made the yellow turban thieves in Jizhou more and more difficult, and since Zu Zhao came to the successive battles are one-sided victories, in the atmosphere of the whole country, the performance of the Jizhou soldiers is remarkable. So Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty directly rewarded the special reward.

Zu Zhao entered the big tent, but also felt that the atmosphere was different, in the past, he entered the big tent was silent, even indifferent, because the Jizhou soldiers came up to exclude, for example, Wen Chou has now been squeezed out to the extent that the big tent can not enter, on duty outside, and these generals are chatting with a smile. But at this moment, many generals scrambled to stand up and greet Zu Zhao, there was no other reason, because in the battle in Huangyuan County, Zu Zhao led his own men and horses to break off for them, in the ranks this is a fateful friendship, from now on to the brother who urinated into a pot, if there is no response from Zu Zhao, these generals are good at the moment, and more are dead without a place to be buried.

Whether it is Cao Cao, Lu Zhi or Huangpu Song, they all admire Zu Zhao, which is almost impossible in the army.

"Today, our Jizhou has been regarded as a great victory, and the reward of the imperial court has also come down, but the reward of Nai has been shirked by the teacher, there is no other reason, because the teacher still hopes that you can stay in Jizhou, as for the credit, as long as the teacher is there, and General Huangpu Song is here, there will be no less credit for you!"

Lu Zhi spoke seriously, this is already patting his chest to assure Zu Zhao of a bright future, even Huangpu Song next to him also said on the side that after the battle in Jizhou, he will let him go back, as long as he is willing to stay in the Jizhou army, Zu Zhao's future in the future will definitely be a bright future. Zu Zhao smiled and agreed, why didn't he want to stay in the Jizhou Army now, if nothing else, just to gain more military merits and connections.

Naturally, a few tables were arranged in the big tent, and everyone sat down, Lu Zhi said in embarrassment: "Although we have more than 100,000 catties of grain in Jizhou City, it is still a little less to distribute to the people in the city, if this grain can be doubled!" ”

Huangpu Song also nodded, food is never too much, in the past, it was able to drink a bowl of mushy rice to support the stomach, but now it is not better to be able to eat dry rice.

More than 100,000 catties of grain have just been able to keep the people of Jizhou City from starving to death.

But now this kind of starvation is also a great feat, don't you see how many starvations there are in many wilderness places?

Zu Zhao was also thinking about how to make half of the food out of thin air.

Suddenly, he slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "I know that there is a way to double the amount of food out of thin air!" Please be a witness to the mentor and the general! ”

"What?"

Everyone was very shocked, they knew that Zu Zhao was powerful, but Zu Zhao said that he would let half of the food out of thin air, which really made them not believe.

"This is the method left by the Immortal Master? Is it possible to popularize all living beings? So that all beings are not suffering from hunger and cold? Lu Zhi already felt that his lips were trembling, if there is really this method, it is a great achievement that will be passed on for all generations, let it be passed on for all generations, maybe the people will not remember that there is a person called Emperor Han Xian, but they can remember that there is a person who invented this method.

For a while, all the generals also felt breathless, and they all wanted to know if there was really such a way?

Zu Zhao looked at everyone's reactions and knew that it was useless to say more, so he had to try it now.

"Come on, if you go to Yelaichun, just say that my Zu Zhao borrowed a few of their cooks and asked them to send the best cooks, and tell them that what they are going to do this time is very important! There are also koji, milling, and grain that are brought! ”

Zu Zhao is full of confidence in his heart, because in this era, he has not yet invented the use of noodles to cook, and all he eats is four-sided steamed buns and four-sided rice balls.

And the soft and delicious old noodle steamed buns really haven't appeared.

As soon as Wan Side heard that Zu Zhao wanted someone and personally brought someone here, he was worried that Zu Zhao was going to pass on some peerless immortal method, and he would take a look at it as a family heirloom in the future.

The people in the entire big tent were all looking forward to it, it was originally a celebration banquet, but as soon as Zu Zhao stirred it up, everyone had no interest in drinking, but stretched out their necks very long, thinking about the moment of witnessing history.

Zu Zhao's instructions were simple, that is, they were taught to grind the wheat into flour, then pour the koji into the flour and mix the noodles, and finally let the steamed buns with the koji be fermented, and then steamed in a large pot.

Under the supervision of everyone, the steamed buns fermented with koji were extremely large, and in order to take care of the generals in the big tent, Zu Zhao specially asked the cook to make more steamed buns.

When the steamed buns opened, the generals in the big tent were surprised to find that the steamed buns had become bigger! It has directly become three or four times the original size!

Zu Zhao took out two old noodles steamed buns and gave them to Lu Zhi and Huangpu Song with a smile, so that they could taste the taste of these steamed buns. "It's soft and delicious, even the old man, who has a stomach problem, thinks this thing is very fragrant! And it's very supportive, it's a good way! ”

Zu Zhao smiled, the dead flour steamed bread is not easy to digest and absorb, but the old flour steamed bread can double the volume of wheat, millet and other grains, and double the use time of the grain.

"This method can't be passed on! Violators will be killed! Did you hear that? Huangpu Song stood up directly, slashed one of his swords in the air, and announced loudly.

Subsequently, the matter of the old noodles steamed bun was positioned as a first-class military secret.

This made Zu Zhao feel a little speechless, he was a little forgetful just now, he was dealing with a group of turtles from the Three Kingdoms, and the method he said was to be called an immortal fang.

"Ahem! The teacher is above, and the students have a way to teach it, to the generals! ”

Zu Zhao then pointed to the "pot" in the big tent and said that it was a pot, but it was more like a clay pot. In this era, there is really no such thing as an iron pot, and the most important thing is that there is no steamer, so that the marching cooking is dug in the ground, which is very cumbersome, and there is a matter of Pang Juan counting other people's stoves and counting the number of other soldiers.

What Zu Zhao has to do now is a steamer, the steamer is very simple, a few bamboo poles can be bent to form a steamer, and a lot of steamed buns can be made on a stove, saving time and making the march a few more mobile.

When the steamer was made, Lu Zhi was amazed, it was really a wonderful idea.

Huangpu Song also immediately listed it as a first-class military secret, strictly ordered a blockade, and waved the sword in his hand a few times, Zu Zhao originally wanted to say a few ways to speed up the march, but seeing Huangpu Song's appearance, he was worried that if he continued to talk about it, he would make the generation of famous generals in front of him directly suddenly suffer from sudden death such as cerebral hemorrhage or heart disease.

In the big tent, the generals have one steamed bun per person, and the thieves who eat it are fragrant, and the thieves who eat it are all incurable.

"Generals, I suggest that you tear the steamed bun and stuff it into the chicken thighs, I tell it to gnaw urgently, you can eat it while marching, it tastes very fragrant!"

After speaking, he tore open a steamed bun and put in a piece of fried crispy chicken thigh, feeling like eating KFC in the past life and the next life.

Several generals also tore open the steamed buns one after another, put the chicken legs in, Cao Cao, this guy put some salt without a teacher, which suddenly made Zu Zhao admire, in order to make this guy different, he also learned from Cao Cao's appearance, sprinkled a thin layer of salt in the steamed buns, and everyone praised Cao Cao for his extraordinary understanding.
