Chapter 66: Why Didn't I Expect It?
Zhao Yi, who promised to cook a big meal for Liu Wanyi, found a place where no one was there and entered the warehouse, rummaging around, in addition to military compressed food, he really found some dishes that were easy to store.
There are also a variety of canned food, vacuum-compressed beans, as well as potatoes, sweet potatoes and other more hunger-resistant dishes.
As for some seasonal vegetables, you can buy some in the people's fields outside the city, but you can't eat hot pot without hot pot base, but there is no hot pot base in the military warehouse, so he can only use instant noodle seasoning to make do with it, even so, in the Eastern Han Dynasty where the seasoning is desert, this taste is rich enough.
A moment later, next to the stone table in the small courtyard of Zhao Yi's house, a few wooden platforms were temporarily erected.
Zhao Yi asked Ma Liu and them to bring some benches to help set up the dishes and chopsticks, while he was busy in the kitchen.
"Hey, what do you smell about? It's so fragrant, our boss is an immortal disciple and can cook, I really can't think of anything that his old man won't. ”
Ma Liu snorted, reached out to wipe the saliva that had flowed from the corner of his mouth, and looked in the direction of the kitchen with longing.
Hu Biao, who had pockmarks on his face, also sniffed it, and said with an obsessive face: "If it's not an immortal disciple, it's an immortal, what can't an immortal?" You said that the boss would not cook for us to eat for the gods, it is the kind of food that can live forever after eating! ”
As soon as Hu Biao finished speaking, he saw Zhao Yi walking out quickly with a plate of steaming unknown dishes, and looked at him with a smile.
"Still immortal, do you think your boss is making Tang monk meat?"
"Don Sen meat? What is that? Animals? ”
Zhao Yi saw Ma Liu and Hu Biao with blank expressions, and then realized that the people of Tang Seng's era he said had never heard of it at all, and then fooled: "Harm! Tang monk meat means that you can eat the meat that can live forever, there is no special meaning, come, this is the first course, hot and sour shredded potatoes~! Don't surround yourself, don't steal food, put it down for me, and when all the dishes are served, everyone eats together, I also took a jar of good wine from the third master's private wine cellar, and Ma Liu poured it for my brother. ”
"Okay boss, the third master's wine, you dare to drink it secretly~!"
Ma Liu and a few people went to get wine, and then Zhao Yi brought a plate of shredded sweet potatoes, fried shrimp with green beans, canned dace with tempeh, a platter of luncheon meat, and a plate of peanuts.
These foods were all scavenged by him from the munitions warehouse, and then there were some seasonal vegetables that were cleaned to the water, although there were not many types, but they were better than fresh, and they would be relieved to eat in a hot pot later.
"Today's highlight is here~~~ Lazy hot pot ~~!"
Zhao Yi wrapped a cotton cloth in his hand, walked out quickly with a large iron pot, and squatted on the stove that had been prepared in advance in the center of the stone table, allowing people to add some firewood underneath.
The iron pot was steaming hot, and a lot of condiments and side dishes at the bottom of the pot were thrown into it, and he steamed a large vat of white rice in a wooden barrel, which was definitely a big white rice that no one in this era had ever seen.
"Wow~~~ This meal is so white~! Boss, if you really give us food that only immortals can eat, even if my old horse dies immediately, it will be worth it for this life! This...... These must have never even been eaten by the emperor! ”
Ma Liu looked at the rice as white as mutton fat jade, and tears of excitement were about to flow out.
"Where is this, wait a while, cut the venison and rabbit meat we brought into slices and put them in it, and eat it with rice, then it is called a fairy delicacy~!"
Just listening to Zhao Yi's description, smelling the tempting aroma of the soup, the sound of swallowing saliva has already turned into pieces next to him.
Zhao Yi knew they couldn't wait.
"The wine is also poured, a bowl of rice is full for one person, my little lady sits next to me, everyone first holds up the wine glass, and the wine that drinks my wine is my brother Zhao Yi, of course, there are sisters, everyone is a family, and it is a family that can give their backs to each other on the battlefield!
Although I, Zhao Yi, am strict with you on the training ground, you also know what I often say, if you sweat more during training, you will be able to shed less blood on the battlefield! I can save my life at a critical moment, but I only have one request for everyone, don't do anything sorry for your brothers, come ~~ Raise a glass and drink! ”
"Raise your glass~~~ Respect the boss~!"
Everyone raised the wooden bowl containing Zhang Fei's private wine, raised their heads and drank it, laughing, and after Zhao Yi said "open the table", one by one they were like hungry wolves.
At this moment, it seemed that what was placed in front of them was not food, but an enemy with whom they had a common enmity, and that ruthlessness frightened Liu Wanyi.
"Aren't you animals afraid of getting hot when you eat slowly? Leave a little for my wife! ”
Zhao Yi used both hands and feet, and finally took out the plate of shredded sweet potatoes, sandwiched a piece and put it in front of Liu Wanyi.
"Taste what it tastes like."
Liu Wanyi's face flushed, she never imagined that she would marry a fairy man like Zhao Yi, and she had never heard of a man who would cook for his wife.
Liu Wanyi took a small bite rather shyly, and her intuition was that the food that Zhao Yi called the sweet potato was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and very sweet, and that kind of sweetness she couldn't describe in words, because she had never tried it.
"How's it going, is it delicious?" Zhao Yi asked.
Liu Wanyi's eyes lit up, and the chick nodded like a rice peck and said, "It's delicious, it's delicious!" It's so sweet, if only my father and mother could eat some of it, and the people in the city could eat it too. ”
Zhao Yi smiled and touched his wife's head, thinking that the little girl was really kind, and at this time, she did not forget to honor her parents and the suffering of the people in the city.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yi's movements suddenly stopped, he frowned, looked at the sweet potato in front of him, and suddenly slapped his head violently, shouting: "Yes, why didn't I think of it?" ”
"Husband, what do you think?"
Zhao Yi smiled, excited in his heart, and pointed to the sweet potato and said: "I didn't think about it before, but my wife reminded me that I can take out these sweet potatoes and potatoes and plant more, and when they are ripe next year, won't the people have a source of food that can satisfy their stomachs?" ”
Even if Zhao Yi is not very proficient in agriculture, he also knows that potatoes and sweet potatoes are both good varieties and high yields. Why didn't he think of it in the first place?
"Wanyi, there are still some potatoes and sweet potatoes in the kitchen, I want to grant a vacant land behind our house, plant some first, see how it works, if it is feasible, I will tell my father and military advisors, and plant a large area, so that the people and our soldiers will not have to worry about food in the future."
"Huh? True...... Are you sure? ”
"Of course it's true, don't you still believe in your husband and me? Hahaha~~~~"
