Chapter Ninety-Six: The Warriors Whispered About Han Yue
A heavy rain washed over the world, and the rain finally stopped before it was about to dawn. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After the so-called new rain in the empty mountain, the weather is late in autumn, several big stars quietly appear from the dark clouds, a bright moon on the horizon slowly disappears, but the east has not yet revealed the white belly of the fish, the stars and the moon are hazy, the wind is light after the rain, and there is a different scenery on the small barren mountain.
There are four cauldrons on the top of the hilltop square, and a blazing bonfire is burning under the pot, and the water in the pot is gradually rising, and the heat is slowly coming out.
The soldiers sat around the cauldron, saying that they wanted to dry their clothes, but in fact their eyes were fixed on a mountain of meat next to the cauldron.
That's right, a bunch of meat, three or four hundred catties.
The method is to first cook a large piece of raw meat, and then divide it into small squares of about half a catty, brew it with various Chinese herbs that replenish qi and blood, and finally soak it in salt water, air dry, and wrap it in oiled paper.
Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, this thing didn't even exist in later generations, but it was something that Han Yue accidentally discovered when he inquired about the system. This thing is a military ration that only exists in a different world, and the Qinglian system can exchange the things of the heavens and all worlds, so of course it is not a problem to get some marching meat.
Han Yue wasn't stupid enough to exchange it from the system in front of everyone, he just lied that this thing was a military ration that he had concentrated on developing, and because the formula was not too perfect, it had been locked in the fourth layer of the earth fort. Anyway, Li Shimin's family had only been to the first three floors when they visited the earthen fort, so this lie would not be exposed.
The marching meat was very fragrant, although it had been dried, it still had a unique taste of meat, and many soldiers were quietly salivating, and their eyes were different when they looked at Han Yue.
"Jingyang Hou insisted on asking for it, and he actually invited everyone to eat meat."
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the treasury was not full, and it was good to be a soldier to have a full meal in peacetime, where would you be given meat to eat? The Baiqi Division is stronger, because it is the emperor's own army, so occasionally add some meat to fight the tooth sacrifice, but most of the time the food is still rough cakes.
In this case, a large number of people cut off their heads and drilled into the Hundred Cavalry Division.
Why? Because the Son of Heaven is pro-army, his job is stable. The other armies of the Tang Dynasty are all government soldiers, and when there is no war on weekdays, the imperial court does not support soldiers, and if you want to eat, you can go home and farm by yourself.
In this era, the yield of crops is really low, and the final harvest is only half full, and once it catches up with a famine, it is normal for people to starve to death.
Therefore, although the food of the hundred horsemen is not very good, the soldiers still have no complaints, and they are not in charge of food all year round......
In this era, it is already a good life to be able to eat bread every day. If there's meat, it's not too pretty.
Now that Han Yue is invited to eat meat, how can the soldiers not rejoice.
The bonfire was blazing, and the water boiling in the cauldron began to boil, and Han Yue called over a few young people who were eating and handed out a large bag of condiments to each of them, and let them start cooking pepper soup.
Pepper keeps out the cold, there is a natural spicy taste, a middle-aged warrior of the Baiqi Division snorted, and cautiously asked the young man in Shiyi: "Little brother, this thing is choking very much, why do you put it in the pot to boil, can you still drink it when you have water?" ”
"You know what?" The young man glanced at him and said proudly: "This is Hu spicy soup, Hou Ye's original secret method, drink a bowl, and the whole body is full of comfort." ”
"Hu spicy soup?" The warrior's eyes lit up, he quietly swallowed his saliva, and subconsciously said, "Is it spicy?" ”
"It's not particularly spicy, because I don't want to put too much." This young man is also a two-knife boy, he didn't know that even if he put more pepper, it would not increase the spiciness, and forcibly boasted: "Pepper is a spice, it is said that it is difficult to buy a tael for a thousand dollars, and only those wealthy families can enjoy it." Hmph, what if they can afford pepper, they don't know how to make spicy soup, no one in the entire Datang understands this secret recipe, only my Hou Ye will. ”
"That's that!" The warrior looked admiring, and gave a thumbs up: "Young genius, although he is only about the same age as my doll, he has already been named a marquis." Tut-tut, that's amazing. Why didn't I give birth to this kind of genius, and when I got home, I beat the ......"
"Wife beating?" The young man looked disgusted, and sneered: "My Hou Ye is a disciple of the gods, even if you beat your daughter-in-law to death, you will not be able to give birth to a genius like Hou Ye." ”
"Alas!" The middle-aged soldier stomped his feet in annoyance, and he didn't know whether he regretted that he couldn't give birth to a young genius, or if he planned to go home and beat the girls.
"Uncle, don't sigh, we don't have that life." A young soldier next to him pulled him, this person had some knowledge, and whispered in his ear: "Don't you see that even His Majesty the Emperor stays here all night, pulling the Marquis of Jingyang to talk for most of the night, and the queen, as well as Concubine Yang, and even the little princess with him." Uncle, you are also an old man in the Hundred Riders, but when have you ever seen such a miracle? ”
The middle-aged soldier was slightly stunned, frowned and recalled for a long time, and finally confirmed: "I really haven't seen it." ”
"That's right!" The young warrior slapped his thigh and said mysteriously: "Think about it, Your Majesty has never stayed outside the palace, but tonight he lives here for the first time, is it greedy for the scenery of the small barren mountain?" Do you like to go out on patrol? No, there were so many ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, I haven't seen anyone with this treatment? That's why the Marquis of Jingyang is very long......"
"That's that!" The middle-aged warrior swallowed, his face slightly unnatural.
The young warrior glanced at him, and finally said what was in his heart, and whispered: "You just opened your mouth and said that you can't give birth to a young genius, I almost misunderstood when I heard this, and I thought you were alluding to being a father to others." Uncle, the trouble comes from the mouth, we are all ordinary soldiers, we really want to provoke the Marquis of Jingyang, hehe......"
He didn't continue, but the middle-aged warrior's face turned pale, he quietly swallowed his saliva, and said, "No." ”
"Of course not!" Han Yue's voice suddenly sounded, he pushed away a few surrounding soldiers and walked over directly, and said with a smile: "I'm not a vicious villain, how can I be angry because someone else said a few words?" He glanced at the middle-aged soldier, saw that his face was a little cringe, and said gently: "This uncle looks good, but he really looks a little kind of elder, just now you praised me Those words have been heard, and my heart is very happy." ”
"Hehehe!" The middle-aged warrior grinned innocently, and his nervous hands didn't know where to put them.
At this moment, I suddenly heard someone talking at the earthen fort, and the familiar voice was Li Shimin. "The stinky boy is still a little righteous in his behavior, and he has worked hard to teach him in vain."
It turned out that the emperor didn't sleep, wearing a robe Shi Shiran walked out of the earthen fort, seeing him appear, the soldiers hula lala knelt on the ground, Li Shimin waved his hand lightly, and said lightly: "Get up, the soldiers have not rested all night, I am very uneasy, I can't help but come down and take a look." ”
Inviting people to buy people's hearts, absolutely inviting people to buy people's hearts, but a large number of soldiers turned red after hearing this, as if they had eaten a strong pill, Han Yue quietly rolled his eyes, and his heart was very unhappy.
I just wanted to pretend to be forced again, and you immediately ran out to steal the limelight, and you didn't let people live this day?
Li Shimin didn't care what he felt in his heart, he walked all the way directly to the cauldron, his eyes swept the marching meat on the side of the pot, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he shouted at Han Yue: "What is this?" The stinky boy hurried over and gave me a good talk. ”
"Tell me about it?" Han Yue's eyes also lit up, and he hurriedly smiled all over his face, and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty wants to listen to the introduction, the kid knows everything......
The emperor became interested in marching meat, how could he not let him return with a full load?
Tonight, the clouds are light and the wind is light, and the air on the top of the mountain is refreshing after the rain, hehehe, taking advantage of Li Shimin's good mood, it seems that this military food supply contract is not running.
