The reason why flour was chosen as the main military food this time was because rice was a relatively simple way to cook, and it was usually cooked into rice or porridge to eat. It is far less varied than flour, especially some meals that can be used as both meals and dishes.

For example, because of Li Anran's foodie attributes, he appeared in Datang time and space in advance with various stuffed buns, roasted wheat, and roasted cakes. There are also varieties of baguettes and pastries that will not spoil for a month, and there are many types of baguettes that have their own strengths.

Some people may say that this rice can also be made into rice balls, sushi, rice noodles, and so on. Okay, yes, but not to mention the hassle of making them, these foods don't last as long as dead dough flatbreads in terms of storage time alone.

In addition to the three staple foods of wheat flour, corn flour and rice, Li Anran also asked Hu Linger to order a large number of ham sausages, and the other party ordered four varieties of beef, pork, chicken and fish very intimately.

At the same time, these four kinds of ham sausage are also divided into four different flavors: sweet, salty, spicy, and spicy.

Of course, considering that these things are only used as military food, the quality is not required according to the high standards of a certain brand. As for the problem of excessive starch content, I believe that those ordinary soldiers will not care.

However, in order to ensure that Datang used troops against the Turks this time, it would not be affected by his own stinginess. Li Anran didn't forget to let Hu Linger order a batch of salty goods and cured meat, such as bacon, sausages, salted chicken and other meat that is easy to store.

With these salty and cured meats. Not only can it replenish the nutrition and physical strength of the soldiers, but it can also replenish the most critical substance, which is salt!

Although salt is a very common basic seasoning in modern time and space, its status in ancient times was obviously much more important.

Regarding this thing, Li Anran also has a very special and speechless experience.

When Li Shimin arranged for a battalion of men and horses to guard near Xiaoyao Villa, acting as guards and monitoring at the same time, Li Anran took Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun to this military camp more than once to "learn" with those soldiers.

As a result, when I first went back there, I was inadvertently chatting with the soldiers over there. It's rare to learn that salt is a rare thing. Especially when marching to fight. It's easy to not be able to supply it for various reasons, so sometimes you have to use vinegar cloth.

Especially in recent years, the Turks have not stopped, and they have invaded the border every year. Burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. The business is broken. Shandong's salt could not be transported, and the salt ponds on the grassland could not mine salt, so Zuo Wuwei was stationed on the Longshi side. There is a shortage of salt every year.

As for the vinegar cloth, Li Anran was also very curious that it was a god horse, and it could actually replenish salt. As a result, it was okay not to ask, but after the vinegar cloth was taken out, I was almost not smoked by the smell of this thing and spit it out on the spot.

The so-called vinegar cloth originally referred to the cloth used to filter vinegar. But here, it's a different story.

If you have watched ancient Japanese films, you may find that many times, ancient Japanese soldiers or itinerant monks will carry hats. The purpose of this thing is not limited to shading, but also serves as a container for eating and a spice jar.

The container for eating is easy to understand, who hasn't had anything to do with a bowl when going out, usually the hat is brought to the head to shade the sun, and when you need it, you can get the rice bowl in your hand. As for the spice jar, it is because after a person sweats, some salt will remain on the hat.

Therefore, when eating with a hat, it can invisibly play a role in replenishing salt. Of course, this taste has absolutely nothing to do with deliciousness. The vinegar cloth used in the Tang Dynasty army, although it is two things, is almost the same in principle.

Therefore, every time he thought that those soldiers had to eat the "salt" condensed by their own sweat to replenish the salt, Li Anran felt that he had lost his appetite in an instant. Fortunately, after the filtration technology, Datang's salt industry has indeed developed significantly.

At least when fighting in other places, when encountering those salt mines that eat the dead directly because of their bitterness and poison, they no longer have to sigh as before, but can make edible salt through filtration techniques, and it is also fine salt of the best kind.

With these salts as supplies, not only did the soldiers who fought on the front line get rid of the disgusting and helplessness of vinegar cloth, but also the processed salt greatly alleviated the need for salt in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, and played a role in regulating the price of salt.

Of course, this practice has a lot to do with the interests of the families who control the price of salt. Fortunately, although Li Shimin did not "clean up" the salt industry on a large scale due to some reasons, he was quite tough on military salt.

In addition, because of Li Anran's foodie attributes, all kinds of cured meat and salty goods began to become popular in Datang. To a large extent, it can be said that the problem of salt and meat used in the military is difficult to store for a long time, and it has played a great role.

It's a pity that even with Li Anran's (adjustment) and support, Datang's agriculture and animal husbandry still can't form an agricultural system like modern time and space in just two years or so, coupled with the convenience of output and procurement, it is naturally far less convenient than direct procurement in modern times.

Taking advantage of Hu Ling'er's procurement of the military supplies that Li Shimin wanted to use this time, Li Anran, who returned to modern time and space, was not idle. First of all, I met with those classmates, friends and employees who should meet and eat, and showed off my presence.

Then he returned to the multi-purpose exploration ship that was still parked in the asteroid belt, and asked about the progress of resource extraction and the production of materials and equipment. In particular, the resources used to build the Divine Domain spaceship are of great concern.

In fact, after breaking the idea of darkness under the lamp, and at the suggestion of the Central Intelligence Brain Kotana, it was decided to assemble a colonial ship in Datang time and space, and Li Anran took the lead in letting the multi-functional exploration ship put those basic equipment in front of the manufacturing sequence.

After all, the types and quantities of materials to be used in a large colonial ship are quite huge. If you just rely on the multi-functional exploration ship to directly manufacture parts and then assemble them in Datang space-time, God knows that the Year of the Monkey can only be built.

With those basic equipment, although some key things still have to be completed by multi-purpose exploration ships. But at the very least, the manufacturing of basic materials can be shared a lot, which can save time.

At the same time, these equipment, especially the equipment for the manufacture and production of basic raw materials, are not limited to providing resources for colonial ships. The previous materials such as gold, silver, copper, swords, and armor can also be handed over to these equipment.

It's just that Li Anran's focus on the Divine Domain spaceship this time is not the colonial ship named "The Starting Point". Instead, he borrowed the content from a certain science fiction American drama on a whim and made a ship similar to a palace for himself.

This American drama "Stargate", which inspired Li Anran, is actually very "old", and some of the special effects and settings in it are indeed a bit outdated, but for a science fiction fan, this American drama is still absolutely yellow.

As for the prototype of the God's Domain, it is borrowed from the second part of the "Stargate" trilogy, "Stargate: Atlantis", the city starship abandoned on an alien planet in ancient times, the Atlantis.

This starship is more apt than a spaceship as a small city. The magnificent shape and various advanced black technologies, even if they are not large in terms of volume, they give people a feeling that they are not comparable to ordinary spaceships.

It just so happened that Li Anran was originally thinking that just having a colonial ship was far from satisfying his needs in the Tang Dynasty. Since it's going to be done, why don't you take advantage of the trend to make it bigger. So he asked the central brain Cortana to design it based on the Atlantis.

After expanding the Atlantis, which was originally about 5 kilometers in diameter, to 20 kilometers, other aspects were also redesigned. In terms of scale alone, the Divine Domain is much larger than the Starting Point. (To be continued......)
