"Compressed biscuits?" When the march reached noon, when eating dry food, all the generals saw the thing of compressed biscuits for the first time, but fortunately, the biscuit thing was not unusual.

After knowing the baking process, Xu Du slowly became popular on a small scale. Many chefs will learn pastry and ask the owner to help build a baking kiln or something, and try to bake some biscuits, cookies, or pizza bread and other things. The question is compressed cookies, what kind of cookies is this?

"To put it simply......," Wang Yong thought for a while, "this is a food that uses wheat flour as the main raw material, adds sugar, oil, dairy products and nuts, bakes it into biscuits, crushes it, and then mixes it with water and oil, and compresses it with water."

If the compressed biscuits are stored properly, it is conservatively estimated that they will not be a problem for a year. If you take the march or something, the current technology can only do it for three months without problems. The key is that if you eat water, you can usually eat one or two pieces! ”

"It's portable, it has a long shelf life, and it only takes a small amount to be fed, which is really good as a dry ration for the march...... Talking about nuts before, what is it? Cao Cao took the compressed biscuit, put it in front of Qiong's nose and sniffed it.

"It's peanut dregs, and it's also to reduce costs. In the past, peanut oil was popular, so it used to be planted in large quantities, and many workshops of peanut dregs were sold at low prices, but they were often booked again, and it was not easy to buy. Earlier, I decided to buy peanut dregs in large quantities with Masterhouse...... But it was the purchase that dragged on until now. Wang Yong was a little embarrassed, he wanted to buy peanut dregs at that time, mainly because this thing was cheap, and it could also be made into oil tea to fill his stomach, and the key was to sell it for money.

Who knew that after a year, I made so much money, but there was not much demand for peanut pomace. Thinking about it later, it can be used to make compressed biscuits, which can also be regarded as waste utilization. No, I studied for three or four months, and I went to Peijun halfway, so I came back to continue my research, but the matter of the newspaper was delayed for more than a month, and the research was completed a year ago.

In the final analysis, it is thanks to the increase in the number of baking kilns that we can start experimenting one after another.

"It's just that you said that sugar and dairy products were added, isn't that too extravagant?" Cao Cao asked rhetorically.

"Therefore, compressed biscuits are divided into two kinds according to the cost, one is the high-end luxury type, the cost is not low, but the taste is the best, and at the same time it is nutritious, but it is a little hot; The other is a low-grade version, which uses maltose, no dairy products, and uses cheaper rapeseed oil for oil. After all, the cost is indeed not high! Wang Yong replied.

If you really want to calculate, fried rice or fried noodles will not be cheaper, if it is just based on the standard of 'just let the soldiers have enough'. However, if you want to 'keep the soldiers well fed and strong', then this configuration is the best.

"It's just the cost of dry food, it's a bit high...... "The prince who accompanied the army was a little distressed.

"Taking into account the maintenance of the combat effectiveness of the non-commissioned officers, as well as the time saved by the march...... Actually, this compressed biscuit is very affordable. For example, this time, I have already produced a batch of compressed biscuits a few years ago, and now all I need is to bring them out in the warehouse. If you change the fried rice, it will absorb water and soften after about two days at most, and there will even be other problems. Wang Yong replied.

"Indeed, in order to avoid this, you have to bury the pot to cook rice every two days, and this compressed biscuit does not have this problem. And if there are no fireworks, the probability of the enemy army discovering us is even lower, which is very suitable for a rapid march! Anyway, the physical strength of the soldiers can be guaranteed! Chen Dao, who was also with the army, saw the benefits of compressed biscuits.

"Very good, in that case...... Cao Cao looked at Wang Yong, "In the future, compress the biscuits and include them in the logistics supply, if I am not mistaken, the patent for this thing should be in your hands...... I'll quote a price later! ”

"Subordinates obey!" Wang Yong nodded, which meant that for a long time, he was responsible for providing almost all of Cao Jun's dry food. Not only this part, but it is estimated that other places will also accept purchases. Just this order can also make him make money.

As for the question of what the firehead army will do with this dry food...... Excluding the situation of the rapid march, the basic necessary encampment is still needed, and it is not possible to eat this thing every day. It's just that in this way, the pressure on the Huotou Army has been reduced a lot, and it is not so easy to prepare dry food for so many soldiers.

"It turned out that this is the case, the whole army is moving at full speed, and at all costs, enter the range of Nanyang County!" Cao Cao immediately made a decision.

Originally, it was to catch Zhang Xiu off guard, and the other party would not know that he was coming at all, in other words, the other party would not be able to defend against him, at least before entering Nanyang County, it was safe.

It's just that next, it will enter a state of hard and rapid marching, and it is said that Xiahou Yuan's troops are five hundred miles in three days, and one thousand miles in six days, and this march is really the same. Generally speaking, Cao Cao would not use such risky marching methods, and it can only be said that in this raid, there are really not many soldiers on hand.

"Lord, you can't continue so fast, the soldiers below have opinions!" Huang Zhong said that most of these soldiers were newly recruited, and there were some parts that had been recruited by the Runan Yellow Turbans before.

Six days and a thousand miles, many people collapsed directly, if it wasn't for the food to keep up, I was afraid that some people would be tired to death. Even so, it can be regarded as exhaustion, and at the same time, morale is greatly damaged.

"Well, I'm almost in Nanyang County, and I'll return to normal marching tomorrow and rest half a day in advance!" Cao Cao looked at the map, then nodded and agreed, some things should not be rushed.

Wang Yong was also speechless, according to his world, from Xuchang to Nanyang City, it was more than 160 kilometers, and it was only 330 miles up and down, at most around 350 miles. As a result, the world started from Xuchang, which has just passed the area from Luyang to Pheasant County, and it has already traveled a thousand miles!

To the south of Pheasant County is Xi'e County, and to the south is Wan County, the seat of Nanyangju, and there are at least 200 miles up and down. Sometimes I really have to sigh, this world is definitely not China, or even the earth, right?!

As Cao Cao expected, slowing down the march the next day, although it did improve morale and let the soldiers rest and maintain their combat effectiveness, it was impossible to hide from Zhang Xiu, the other party already knew that Cao's army was attacking her, and it was just two hundred miles away, and at this time it was organizing a battle, I am afraid it will not work!

Zhang Xiu's forces have four generals who can get their hands on them, count her as one, she is a well-known cavalry general, and has the title of 'Gun King of the North'; there is also a Hu general Hu Che'er, a brave three armies, and he is also a rare fierce general; in the end, there are only two generals who return to the ancient race, Lei Xu and Zhang Xian, and the power is okay.

She also has an excellent strategist, that is, Jia Xu, this warrior of Wuwei Guzang, is the mastermind she relies on the most. When Zhang Ji died at the hands of Liu Biao, she once planned to avenge her uncle and fought with Liu Biao. It's just that in the end, at the suggestion of Jia Xu, he temporarily surrendered to Liu Biao and was able to seize Nanyang County.

"Strategist, the enemy army is fighting in front of our house, and we have no preparations on our side, how can we do it?" Zhang Xiu found Jia Xu

"General Zhang, we are Han generals, why worry about Master Wang?" Jia Xu shook his head, "Open the door to greet Master Wang!" ”

"Yes...... It seems that it can only surrender! Zhang Xiu shook his head, immediately turned around, and ordered Cao Cao to surrender.

"............" Jia Xu was speechless, what she meant was originally to deceive her...... Don't make it happen......
