Chapter 127 The cow chews the peony and collects the heavenly things

"It just so happens that I'm working on something delicious, you can pay for it!"

Chen Ying rolled up his sleeves and just started drying.

Minawar stepped forward and said, "Daduhu, can I help with anything?" ”

With free labor, there is no need to use it in vain.

So, Chen Ying smashed the eggs and poured them into a bowl, took two chopsticks, and asked Minawar to stir the eggs.

For such a simple job, it is naturally difficult for Minawar. At first, Minawar felt very funny, but soon Minawar couldn't laugh anymore, because Chen Ying used all the prepared ingredients, eggs, cow girl, honey, oil, flour, etc., to stir.

It wasn't until Chen Ying returned to the house to sleep and returned, that Minawar's arm felt that it was not his own. Chen Ying saw that the fresh yeast he had prepared earlier was almost there, so he made Minawar stop stirring.

Minawar complained, "It's too hard! ”

"As the saying goes, good things are grinding, and so is deliciousness!" Chen Ying smiled and said: "Delicious things, it is not easy to make them naturally, today I will hand over to you to make something that is both beautiful and delicious."

Anyway, being idle in winter is also idle, Chen Ying wants to make a cake for the future. In fact, this is not because Chen Ying likes to eat this kind of thing, but to make the Tang people change their current eating habits. There are no steamed buns in Datang, and there are two ways to eat wheat, boiled into wheat rice like rice, or boiled into thin wheat porridge, where there is too little flour. The point is that in this day and age, flour making is not easy.

However, chestnuts and grains are not suitable for growing in the Western Regions, and the most suitable ones are wheat and soybeans, and of course corn, but Chen Ying does not have corn seeds yet, but I hope that Zhang Zhongjian can successfully reach the Americas and bring back the corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and peppers of later generations.

Of course, the most important thing for Chen Ying is to change the tricks to make pasta, so that wheat becomes the staple food of everyone in the Western Regions. Once the people of the Western Regions fell in love with eating pasta, they had to give up their nomadic herding and settle down, becoming a farming peasant people, and becoming the only state and county in the Central Plains.

Fresh yeast is actually very simple, it is made by mixing flour with water, kneading it into a dough, and fermenting it naturally. With these things, the basis for making the cake of the afterlife is there.

Minawar was so tired that she couldn't lift her arms, and Chen Ying didn't have the slightest pity for the jade. He asked her to light the fire, and at this time, Minaval's face was full of displeasure.

Chen Ying pouted and said, "If you don't want to learn, forget it!" ”

Minawar silently hypnotized herself.

"Men conquer the world, women conquer men. You Chen Ying is the man I want to conquer! ”

So Minaval got her fair face, turned into a big cat, and sat obediently in front of the stove to light the fire.

Chen should put the yeast dough in the steamer.

Until the steam rose, Chen Ying waited again and looked at Minawar and smiled: "It's okay to burn it for another half an hour!" ”

Chen Ying looked at Minawar with a smile.

In Minaware's eyes, Chen Ying is a colored heart without lustful guts, and Chen Ying is also a "wife management inflammation" at home. However, in Chen Ying's eyes, he secretly muttered: "Sample, I see how long you have to hold on!" ”

People whose purposes are not pure are intriguing with each other.

With the smell of cake filling the air, Minawar couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although I didn't see what this thing looked like, I felt delicious when I smelled the aroma.

Chen Ying thought more far-reaching.

As long as the people in the world can eat enough, as long as they are not exploited too much, the people will naturally not care who is on their heads.

In this world, all troubles come from the stomach, and the hunger and fullness of the stomach determines people's thinking, and also determines whether there is war and peace. If everyone had enough to eat, no one would be stupid enough to go to war.

Able to eat, and has a strong military deterrence, governing the Western Regions is not as difficult as imagined, the people of the Western Regions have a very deep understanding of force, when Chen Ying defeated the Tongye Hu Khan, no one dared to rebel openly, although some careerists, thinking of chicken thieves, took advantage of Chen Ying's absence in the Western Regions to carry out a gorgeous coup d'état.

However, with the disappearance of Gaochang Kingdom and more than 100 large and small tribes, and with the 100,000 horses of Tuyuhun escaping less than 5,000 people, at this time, Chen Ying's words are the supreme holy decree in the Western Regions.

Even if Chen Ying was busy making food in the Western Regions Protectorate, even if the Mo Dao Army and Xiao Cavalry Army of the Tang Dynasty were hiding in the warm fire pit to brag and chat, at this time, no one dared to say anything like rebellion.

For a person of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions, who was accustomed to handing over a quarter of their total property, Chen Ying, who collected the eleventh tax, was simply a saint.

In this era, the transmission of news always lags, Chen Ying should know the news from Chang'an, the midsummer period is slightly faster, it takes about three months, once the ice and snow are covered, Chen Ying will be completely cut off from the news from Chang'an.

Unless the ice and snow melt at the end of March next year and the road begins to be dredged, Chen Ying's contact with Chang'an can be re-dredged. In the Western Regions, it is very difficult to make a feasible plan in advance, and it is the right way to lead by taking one step at a time, and if you want to plan one step further, you are often doing useless work.

If Chen Ying wanted to claim the throne in the Western Regions, it would take half a year for the Li Tang court to know the news, and with the mobilization speed of the Li Tang court, Chen Ying would have at least a year or more to prepare. However, Chen Ying was not stupid enough to kill himself at this time.

With the defeat of the Eastern Turks by the Li Tang court, sweeping the Western Turks, Tuyuhun and Tubo, when it came to November of the fourth year of Wude, Li Jing crossed the Nanling Mountains and arrived at Guizhou (now Guangxi), and sent people to part ways to appease them. The big leaders Feng An, Li Guangdu, and Ning Changzhen all sent their children to ask for a meeting, expressing their submission, and Li Jing was awarded official titles. So it went down to 96 states, and the income was more than 600,000 households. Since then, "Lingnan Xiping".

Li Yuan issued an edict and was appointed as the pacification ambassador of Lingnan Province and the governor of Guizhou.

The basic unification was completed, and at this time, the strength of the Tang Dynasty was greatly improved. Only Li Xiaogong and Li Jing have more than 100,000 troops under the command of the southern army, 100,000 troops under Li Shimin, more than 60,000 Shandong troops under Li Shentong, and more than 30,000 Youzhou troops under Luo Yi.

What's more, Li Tang also had nearly 200,000 troops of the most elite Sixteen Guards. At this time, the military department of the Li Tang Dynasty had no less than 500,000 troops on its books. With the world decided, the horse is put into Nanshan, and the armor is put into storage, which must be an inevitable thing, once Chen Ying rebels in the Western Regions, he will face the attack of more than 300,000 troops of the Li Tang court.

Whether it is the Xiao cavalry army or the Modao army under Chen Ying, these armies have an absolute advantage over ordinary cavalry, but once they face the combined army of the infantry and cavalry, long and short bows of the Zhongda Tang Dynasty, they will lose all their advantages.

What's more, Chen Ying, the governor of the Western Regions at this time, commanded the Modao, Xiao cavalry, and Yue cavalry armies, and controlled the military of the nineteen states of Xizhou Road. Although Chen Ying has become famous, his power has just begun, and his foundation is unstable, he relies on Li Jiancheng, and no one dares to underestimate him in the temple.

Until Zhou Qing cautiously reminded Chen Yingdao: "It's time to protect most of the capital!" ”

"Is it time?" Chen Ying took a stack of linen pads and lifted the steamer, took off the steamer, and as soon as the steamer was opened, a disc-shaped pastry in the steamer appeared as a prototype, which looked very exquisite.

Like a little cat, Minawar, whose face was covered with dirt, immediately came up and looked at the smoke, and a unique cake fragrance came to her nose, fragrant but not greasy, and it smelled very good.

Minawar grunted in her throat and asked curiously, "What is this?" ”

Chen Ying ignored her and took the cake out of the steamer.

Just as Minawar stretched out his hand to grab the cake, Chen Ying pointed to Minawar's face full of cigarette ash and said, "You go wash your face, it's ugly!" ”

Minawar walked to the basin in disbelief and disbelief, looking at herself with dirt on her face in the basin, her voice suddenly rose an octave: "Ah......h

Jacqueline hurriedly rushed to the kitchen, and a sharp thorn appeared in his hand, and Ashina Simo stood in front of Jacqueline, and the iron bow in his hand was aimed at Jacqueline.

Chen Ying didn't seem to see the confrontation between the two, so he took down the cake by himself, and cut off a piece of the cake with a diameter of more than three feet from the edge.

However, holding a wooden board, this triangular cake is placed on the wooden board, and then with a dagger, a little decoration, it forms a heart shape.

Chen Ying took the cream bucket and spread a layer of cream on top of the cake, and then took some fresh fruits and put them on top of the cream for decoration.

When Minawar came out after washing her face, she saw that a cake that was pierced by an arrow on a heart was ready, and what made Chen Ying feel the most regrettable was that there were no strawberries or blueberries at this time, otherwise it would be more chic to decorate it with some seasonal fruits.

Minawar seemed to forget the previous unhappiness, and followed, looked at Chen Ying and asked curiously, "What is this?" Sent me? ”

Chen Ying nodded and said, "That's right, let's eat, is it delicious to repay?" ”

Minawar jumped up all of a sudden: "Eat? How can you eat something so beautiful? ”

Chen Ying shrugged and smiled, "Whatever you want!" ”

Minawar raised his arm and found that his arm was sore, after all, he mixed twenty catties of female oil, more than fifty catties of flour, and ten catties of eggs, this amount of labor is probably unbearable for an adult man, let alone a woman.

Minawar pointed to the cake and said, "Jacqueline bring it back!" ”

Jacqueline came blushing, picked up the cake and walked inside.

Chen Ying looked at Ashina Simo and asked curiously, "What's wrong with her?" Why do you seem to be unhappy? ”

Zhou Qing said with a wicked smile: "The two of them fought just now, and Jacqueline didn't take advantage." ”

Chen Ying pointed to the other cake and said, "You can repay it, how about it!" ”

When Zhou Qing heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and couldn't wait to pick up a piece of cake and stuff it into his mouth. The sweet and greasy feeling is not only that, but the creaminess brought by the cream is particularly stimulating to the taste buds, and the courgette and cantaloupe are also full of his taste buds at the moment.

Zhou Qing especially tasted it for the first time, and this feeling was instantly magnified tenfold. This rather greasy cream is easy to get greasy, but it can be mixed with the cake, and the soft feeling of this cake, especially comfortable, soft, compared with the usual stiff pastries, gives Zhou Qing a completely different feeling.

Ashina Simo also took a large piece of cake and ate it in three or two strokes.

Chen Ying watched Ashina gobble it up, and asked curiously, "How does it taste?" ”

Ashnasimo shook his head: "Not good! ”

Chen Ying asked a little curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

Ashina Simo said dissatisfiedly: "It's not good, such a big piece, eat it in your mouth, and you won't be hungry at all!" ”

Saying that, Ashina Simo gestured at the bigger cake and said, "That piece is all eaten, and it is not worth two catties of mutton......"

Chen Ying's face turned black in an instant: "Get out of the way and ......"
