Chapter 766 Salt

From Qingyang Fort to the east, it is desolate.

Due to the years of war in the Northeast and the cold climate, the population is sparse.

Here, nature is the protagonist.

Wild beasts are on the move!

In order to open up the settlement of Qingyang Fort and ensure the safety of the people, Zu Dachun, who was stationed in Kaiyuan, also organized a hunting team.

The prey caught was enough for the whole battalion to eat for a month.

"Report! Bu and Noyan led the people to wait for the king at Yuanmen. ”

The sentinel rode fast horses to report.

Yang Chengying nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Our army has 7,000 men, and Buhe has only 39 Niulu under his name, and 11,700 men."

Sonny in the northeast of the Lifan Academy, riding a tall horse, said to Yang Chengying, who was riding in front: "The minister estimates that they are still worrying, how to supply food to the army!" ”

With the establishment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Imperial Court has become an institution dedicated to the affairs of the clans.

Several divisions were set up according to the location of the clan, and the Northeast Division was in charge of the affairs of the Northeast.

Yang Chengying smiled slightly and said, "I have asked the sentry to inform them that there is no need to prepare a dinner party for us, and I invite them to eat the good things I brought from Shenyang." ”

"It's good to have a few sheep, and use the 'pressure cooker' you said to stew a pot of mutton to open the eyes of these people."

Sonny almost drooled as he spoke.

Not to mention the lack of materials on the grassland, even Sonny and others who stay in Shenyang can't eat a few delicious meals a year.

This situation, with Yang Chengying's entry into Shenyang, has completely changed.

Yang Chengying brought seasonings such as chili peppers and peppercorns, and also invented a pressure cooker, and the boiled mutton was described in one word - authentic!

Yang Chengying glanced at him and said with a smile: "This is a good way." Let's be salesmen by the way and sell them good things. ”

"King, what do you mean by 'sales'?" Sony asked.

"It's that if a businessman wants to sell something new, he has to let some of it be used for free in advance."

Yang Chengying introduced: "Only when you use it is said that it is good, will someone buy it." ”

Sony understood: "This is a good solution!" ”

The human heart is truly amazing!

When the Jurchens surrendered, they all made good plans in their hearts. Even if you don't recover Houjin, you won't cooperate with the new owner.

But as Yang Chengying gained a firm foothold, all kinds of things poured into Shenyang, especially the appearance of the train, which made the hearts of these people change.

All have the idea of "I can live a life".

The mood of passive resistance faded and was replaced by ambition to make a difference.

Sony falls into this category.

The brigade marched to the northeast neither fast nor slow, and soon, it saw groups of yurts.

And the people standing in front of the yurt.

The vanguard was in front of the gate, and the well-trained square formations were arranged.

The same is true for the follow-up troops.

There was a corridor in between.

With the "rustle" sound of the horseshoe stepping on the snow, Yang Chengying led the welcome team to quickly appear in the sight of Buhe and others.

The young Li Dingguo held the royal flag and erected it, the bottom was installed on the stirrups, and the flag fluttered in the wind with the rapid movement of the horses.

Before the battle, Yang Chengying grabbed the reins and stabilized the horse.

"The minister Korqin Buhe led the crowd to visit His Royal Highness King Zhou, and wished His Royal Highness King Zhou ten thousand blessings and peace."

Place the cloth and the right hand on the left shoulder, and bow down in Mongolian salute.

Yang Chengying said immediately: "Flat." ”

"His Royal Highness King Xie Zhou."

Buhe straightened up and walked towards Yang Chengying.

When they got closer, Yang Chengying turned over and dismounted, and handed the reins to Wang Fuchen.

Buhe respectfully offered Hada, Yang Chengying took Hada, and then tied it around the cloth and neck.

After the ceremony, Yang Chengying grabbed Buhe's wrist and walked in together.

"The king, when the minister learned that the king was inspecting, he specially prepared a sumptuous banquet of cattle and sheep, but he didn't want the king to have arranged it earlier."

Buhe said: "The cooks are here, and the cattle and sheep are ready." If the king agrees, the minister will send someone to take the pot. ”

"I've been on a long trip this time, so I've been prepared for a long time, and the purpose is not to increase your burden."

Yang Chengying said: "I don't think it's as good as this, please hand over the cattle and sheep that have been slaughtered to our cooks." Cook with your ingredients and give everyone a taste of the South. ”

"This ...... Thanks to the king's understanding, the minister is respectful rather than obedient. ”

Buhe bent down and gave a salute.

Yang Chengying nodded: "This is refreshing!" ”

"Please, King!"

Bu He made a "please" gesture with his left hand, "Don't eat the minister's food, and the wine must be drunk." ”

"Okay." Yang Chengying laughed.

The auxiliaries began to set up camp outside the yurts, near the river.

The cooks put the cart by the river, took the briquettes from the cart, and made a fire to make food.

In the first generation of cooking cars, boilers were placed on horse-drawn carts, and cooking utensils such as pots and pans were also stuffed into the carts.

This makes it easy to clean and manage.

Soon, people saw smoke curling in the Liaodong military camp.

"So fast!"

Bu He was a little surprised when he saw the smoke of the cooking.

"For it is not firewood but coal, and it is not ordinary coal."

Yang Chengying explained.

The briquettes used are honeycomb coal, which is highly efficient and flammable.

The formula is provided by Yang Chengying, and a mixture of base materials such as sawdust and lime is added in proportion on the basis of raw coal, plus flammable accelerants such as potassium permanganate.

It has not yet been promoted, the technology needs to be improved, and the access to materials is not easy.

For the time being, it will only be used in the military.

Another purpose of Yang Chengying's expedition is to show the advantages and disadvantages of the new technology in the process of adapting to the actual combat, so as to facilitate the next improvement.

"It's not much fun to drink like this, and I see a lot of women dancing."

Yang Chengying said: "I want to take you to see how the chefs in the army cook, and let everyone eat at ease." ”

Seeing curiosity written on everyone's faces, I made this proposal.

Bu He said: "This ...... Is this appropriate? ”

"Outsiders naturally have to be wary, the public is my subordinates, so there is no need to be careful."

Yang Chengying said: "When the time is right, I will also teach these cooking skills, so that everyone does not have to work so hard to eat." ”

"King Ende, I am grateful."

Buhe hurriedly thanked him.

The "great defense" of the predecessors was a helpless move to reduce the enemy's attack on the border under the condition of insufficient troop projection.

This principle can be changed as traffic conditions improve.

Everyone followed Yang Chengying to the Liaodong Army camp, where the cooks were cooking.

They hung the lamb one by one on a wooden rack and were pouring a lot of salt on it.

The little Mongolian taiji were stunned, sprinkling salt so extravagantly!

When they eat meat, they only dare to rub a little salt on the most delicious parts of the lamb.

Also because of the quality of the salt, it tastes weird.

I knew that the salt was not good for a long time, so I was reluctant to throw it away.

"You seem to be very short of salt, but it's a pity that I came out this time, and the materials I brought were all set, so I didn't dare to waste a point."

Yang Chengying's words made the Mongolian nobles, including Buhe, a little sad.
