Xiao Yilin saw that the little girl was asleep and walked into the woods, and he found that the woods here were obviously longer and more lush than other places, and he remembered that it was not like this during the day yesterday. Looks like this last night.

Xiao Yilin was secretly frightened, what was the force that made such a large area of trees and weeds grow so much? It's so frightening.

Xiao Yilin thought that the little girl had been away for so long yesterday, what had she been doing for so long? It can't be as simple as convenience.

It seems that the little girl still has a lot of secrets.

In the afternoon, Jing Yi woke up and saw that the horses that had been slightly injured were much better and could follow them, as long as they didn't carry people, it was no problem at all.

She went to see the badly injured horses again, and they were much better, and she drugged them again, and quietly used her abilities to heal them.

These dozen or so horses are all fat and strong, good horses of good breeds, and they can all be war horses. It would be a shame not to take it with you.

In ancient times, the requirements for horses that could be used as war horses were very strict, and cavalry was also the fastest class of troops in ancient times. If the infantry meets the cavalry, it is most likely to go to deliver food. Cavalry specialized in infantry.

Therefore, whichever army has more cavalry, the stronger it will be.

During the day, the soldiers had been dealing with the dozen or so dead war horses, and Jing Yi commanded everyone to make braised meat, jerky, and meat floss.

There was enough firewood for them for the next two days.

Everyone didn't have enough of braised meat, so Jingyi made another meal of braised horse meat for everyone, so that everyone could eat enough. The rest of the meat is made and flossed.

The dried meat is easy to make, so it is slowly dried over a charcoal fire, or dried little by little in a pot.

The meat is marinated in the foreground of the roasting and a little pepper is added. The dried meat produced in this way is salty and fragrant with a little spicy taste, and it is very enjoyable to eat, and I still want to eat it.

Sun Xing said while eating: "It's so delicious, if you take it with it as a military ration, it will be really exciting." ”

In addition to jerky, Jingyi also tried to make some meat floss. First, the horse meat is stewed until it is soft, and then the pieces of horse meat are torn into finely chopped strips. The fibrous flesh of horse meat is coarser than that of other animals, so it is easier to tear into pieces.

The next step is to pour the minced meat strips into a large pot and stir-fry over low heat to allow the water to evaporate slowly. Grind the minced meat with a spatula while stir-frying.

Slowly, the fibers of the meat become fluffy little by little. When the fried meat has very little water, it looks relatively dry and loose, and the meat floss is ready.

Because the moisture content of meat floss is very low, it has a much longer storage time. And the same is true of jerky, which is really like Sun Xing said, it is more suitable for marching and fighting when carrying rations.

In this way, each soldier does not have to carry much on his body, and he can march long distances.

Xiao Yilin, Gu Yu, and Feng Zhi were all watching Jing Yi instruct the guys on how to make meat floss and jerky. Jingyi didn't hide it at all, and explained the process of making jerky and meat floss to the husband clearly.

Although Jing Yi was generous and did not hesitate to give this recipe to the man, Xiao Yilin also issued an order to prohibit the man from passing on this craft.

Of course, the husband didn't dare not listen to his own prince's words.

When a plate of red, very fluffy meat floss was brought to everyone, Feng Zhi first pinched a pinch of meat floss and put it in his mouth.

His eyes immediately widened at this taste, and his eyes flashed with surprise, "Well, it's so delicious, it's just a delicacy in the world." Doctor Chu, you are really a god, the unpalatable and smelly horse meat has become a delicacy in the world after passing through your hands. Dr. Chu. It's not an exaggeration to say that you are a kitchen god. ”

Sun Xing also tasted the meat floss, and nodded excitedly, "Well, it's so delicious." This march is better to fight, and when you are hungry, you can quickly replenish your strength by pinching a handful of food. That's a good thing. It's a pity that there is so much horse meat for us to eat. ”

Jing Yi said: "This meat floss does not have to be horse meat, pigs, cattle and sheep can be meat, as long as it is lean meat, you can make meat floss." Fish meat can also be made into fish floss. When eating, you can eat it alone, mix it in porridge, and eat it in steamed buns, and there are various ways to eat. ”

Xiao Yilin also tasted the meat floss, which is indeed delicious and easy to carry, and it is also convenient when eating.

"This is really good as a military ration, suitable for the kind of long-distance and high-speed march, everyone can carry some meat floss for a long time. It's just that this is meat after all, and if it is not realistic to supply the army for a long time, the country is still too poor to afford to supply it at all. ”

Jing Yi has been here for so long since he came to this ancient period, and he has a great understanding of the backwardness and low productivity of this era.

Nowadays, there are very few large-scale farms, because once livestock is farmed on a large scale, it is easy to get sick and easily infected.

Nowadays, people still lack the knowledge to prevent livestock diseases and do not know how to cure livestock diseases.

Therefore, there are very few large-scale farming. Even if there is large-scale farming, the scale is not large. Therefore, the number of livestock raised in the country can be imagined.

Generally, wealthy people have their own farms, and there will be people on the farms who are responsible for raising some livestock and poultry.

Some large farms have tenant farmers, and the pigs and sheep raised by the tenant farmers are reluctant to slaughter and eat meat, and they will sell them for money to subsidize their families.

In ancient times, cattle were not allowed to be slaughtered at will. Because for the ancients, the importance of cattle was much higher than that of other livestock, and the ancients loved the cattle even more, even the Jin Kingdom also had a ban on killing cattle at will.

Jing Yi also learned that in ancient times, there were generally no cattle for human consumption, and beef could not be supplied to people like other meats.

Jing Yi didn't know much about many customs and laws in ancient times.

She asked, "Brother Xiao, I rarely see beef bought in the market, is it because the imperial court does not allow cattle to be killed?" Or is there too little farmed? But in the restaurant, you can order dishes made of beef,"

Xiao Yilin replied: "The imperial court has a ban on slaughtering cultivated cattle at will, but for cultivated cattle that die naturally, such beef is not blocked from entering the market, and it is not uncommon for restaurants and restaurants to have beef dishes."

Moreover, even if the cattle died normally, the farmers had to report to the yamen if they wanted to sell the beef, and the processed cowhide and tendon had to be handed over to the yamen as a military reserve, and the procedures were very complicated.

Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, many farmers will even sell these dead cattle privately at a low price, and these beef will naturally enter the market in a cheaper way, and restaurants are an important place to sell.

Another important reason is that cowhides and tendons can be used to make weapons, so sometimes the imperial court will also collect some cows to slaughter to obtain cowhides and tendons. Most of the remaining beef will go to private restaurants. ”

Jing Yi nodded, "Oh, I see." It seems that large-scale cattle breeding is also troublesome, no wonder no one raises cattle on a large scale. ”
