Chapter 384: The Legend of Liu Wandi's Creation
"Yes, I heard about it at the last meeting, almost five or six days ago, at dinner in Wangjiang Tower, my father-in-law told us a very exciting story.
Of course, it's not a story, it's a real thing.
It is said that in the frontier, when our army went deep into the internal disturbance of the Hu people, it encountered an army of thousands of people, so it was trapped on the snow-capped mountain.
There were hundreds of people in the group, and there was not much grain and grass with them, and the Hu people also wanted to take down this team without a single soldier, so they kept besieging it.
They want to torment this army, so that they can't stand the hunger, and they can come down and surrender themselves, or they can starve them to death. ”
"Ah, these Hu people are too ruthless, too bad."
Those who listened to the story found this story fascinating and worried about the fate of these soldiers.
"How are they?"
"Did you starve to death?"
"Surrendered?"
Everyone asked.
"Don't worry, listen to me. The trapped army sent 4 signal corps to break through the siege and contact reinforcements.
As a result, only one signal soldier ran out, and this man lost his horse, and was able to gallop barefoot only on his bare feet, and walked all the way for seven days to reach the camp of our army.
At that time, our commander thought that there must be no play, and the grain and grass brought by these people would last for five or six days, and it would take more than two days for the army to reach the snow-capped mountains, and almost everyone would starve to death.
But the coach can't abandon his own people no matter what, and he has to save him if there is a glimmer of hope, otherwise, who will die for him in the future?
So, the commander sent 2,000 troops to help, but to their surprise, the besieged army was not only not starved to death, but also fought physically.
Finally, the key thing comes, do you know, why this army has been able to retain its combat effectiveness? ”
Liu Ming said mysteriously.
Everyone was attracted by his ups and downs at this time, and forgot for a moment what he started to say about compressing cookies, so they asked:
"What is the reason? Did they kill the horses? Ate horse meat? ”
"Are they gnawing on the grassroots? Isn't there grass in the snowy mountains? Some grass roots are edible, such as licorice root, which is quite delicious and sweet. ”
There was a girl who was innocent.
"Come on, you still gnaw on grass roots, even if you are asked to gnaw licorice roots every day, you can't stand it." Someone retorted.
"I heard that there are some gophers on the grassland that will hoard grain, and if the herdsmen encounter a famine year, they will dig up the place where the gopher hoards grain, and they can find up to 180 catties of grain in it!"
At this time, there was a teenager who liked to read strange stories.
"Haha, you guys really have a lot of ideas, but it's actually because they have compressed biscuits that my aunt said."
"What? Is it the work of compressing cookies? ”
The innocent little girl asked.
"Yes, it's the work of compressing the biscuits.
One compressed biscuit can provide the body with a day's needs, and they are said to have brought more than 20 compressed biscuits per person.
So if you eat one piece a day, or save and eat half a piece, you can last for 30 days, and it is possible to last up to 40 days.
And the volume of compressed biscuits is not large, and it is convenient for them to carry, plus the dry food they originally had, so they survived. ”
Liu Wan knew the inside story best, so she helped analyze.
"Yes, that's what Daddy Wu Wei said.
He said that when he was buying compressed biscuits, he thought it was a new thing and he could buy some of them and try them.
Since discovering that it is very useful, it has increased the amount of purchases, and will purchase 100,000 catties every year in the future. ”
Liu Ming also followed.
Liu Wan nodded with a smile and said, "We also have a quota for the purchase in Gukou Town, and I will allocate the quota for each store." ”
Hearing this, everyone was even more in awe of Liu Wan.
Unexpectedly, the kind of food made by my aunt could save the lives of soldiers and soldiers, and it could also become the procurement food in the army.
"Auntie, why are you so powerful, it's not easy to be purchased as military rations."
Several nephews admired the authentic.
Liu Wan was happy and said: "Everyone in our family also has their own talents, you see your father, my brother, all of them are miracle doctors, I just know how to make some food, it's not a big deal." ”
Liu Wan began to be humble.
Once the strength is recognized, you can be humble.
But the more Liu Wan said this, the more everyone admired her.
Even the old lady was surprised, she never expected that this well-behaved daughter could toss such a big thing.
"Wanwan, this is a great merit, you have saved the lives of hundreds of soldiers!
What is that called compressed biscuits, you have to do it with your heart in the future, you can't use inferior flour! ”
The old lady confessed.
"Mother, I know, I definitely don't dare to use inferior ingredients, I myself am the president of the Pastry Association, and then use inferior ingredients to pit people, I will be poked in the backbone, and I will violate military law, and it will not be beautiful at that time."
Liu Wan said.
"Auntie, what does the compressed biscuit taste like, can you make one for us to eat?"
Several nephews came to curiosity.
Liu Wan smiled and said: "Okay, let you also taste the hardships of the border soldiers." Compressed biscuits certainly can't be delicious, but only in the mouth. ”
After everyone dispersed, Liu Ming stayed alone and said to Liu Wan:
"Auntie, I didn't know that compressed biscuits were made by you.
Since you came up with it, then this business will fall to you in the future. ”
Liu Wan said with a smile: "It's best if it can be so natural, the original order of 100,000 catties, I got 10,000 catties over there." However, it will also be distributed to the people in the pastry shop below. ”
With so many orders for compressed biscuits, Liu Wan couldn't eat them for a while, and the army still had a deadline for delivery, so Liu Wan could only share it with others.
But now, if the purchase of compressed biscuits is stable, Liu Wan can build more ovens and increase production.
As for other pastry shops, as long as Liu Wan gives them the original amount, others dare not say anything.
Besides, she doesn't say, who knows how many orders she gets.
"I'll talk to my father-in-law and see if I can mention at least 50,000 catties to you."
Although Liu Ming said it modestly, looking at the expression on his face, it should be a sure thing.
Also, Liu Wanyi is Liu Ming's aunt, and secondly Liu Ming's life-saving benefactor, how can Liu Ming not repay her?
Liu Wan was overjoyed when she heard this, if the military could order 50,000 catties of compressed biscuits, then the family's income for the year would be stable.
"Okay, you can help me dredge it, it's best if you can, don't force it if you can, 10,000 catties is pretty good now."
Liu Wan is not a very greedy person.
She didn't know if this would affect the relationship between Liu Ming and Wu Wei, and if it did, don't do it.
When Liu Ming heard Liu Wan's worry, he smiled and said:
"That won't affect us, no matter what I do, Wu Wei will support me."
It seems that these two people are in love and have met each other.
Liu Wan nodded.
