Chapter 42 The night of Mu Yao! Crisis is lurking!(1/2)

It is now close to noon, and it will soon be the time for Qingzhou soldiers to have lunch.

Jiang Chen summoned dozens of cooks.

The leader is the "big head, thick neck" cook who was in the car formation earlier. Now he has "achieved enlightenment alone, chickens and dogs ascended to heaven". Taking advantage of Jiang Chen's common trend, he has become a small number among the many cooks.

leader.

Jiang Chen took a pen and paper, wrote down the recipe, gave it to many cooks, and demonstrated it himself, making dozens of sesame cakes, one for each person.

After eating the sesame cakes, all the cooks were shocked and shouted:

"Master Jiang, I want to learn how to make pancakes!"

soon.

Many of the cooks were beaming with joy and learned the art of making pancakes from Jiang Chen, while the common people were responsible for shelling the spring rice.

But at this time.

Businessman Yin Qiu suddenly made a suggestion:

"Sir, there is no need to crush boulders. There is a thing called stone mill in the city. It was invented by a craftsman who escaped from the mainland. It is called Wuye. It is currently used to make bean flour. It is a military tool used to fatten Loulan horses in recent years.

I'm thinking that maybe... it can also be used to crush wheat grains."

Listen to this.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"It seems that I am only half a step ahead..."

"This world is influenced by extraordinary martial arts. In the short period of Qin, Han, New, Later Han, Wei and other dynasties, the level of civilization and military development have faint signs of the Song and Ming Dynasties, such as the nine-rank official system, generals, aristocratic families, and partisanship.

, commerce, iron-making, law...

However, technological progress among the people still followed normal historical laws and only reached the level of the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Even at some levels of technological development, due to the martial arts transformation of a large number of talents, those who are smart, rich, diligent, born with good luck, full of inspiration, and those with nothing to do after they have enough to eat have all become warriors, fighting and researching each other.

Martial arts, on the contrary, makes the speed of technological progress slower...

Surprisingly, even grain processing tools such as stone mills have just come out and have not yet been applied to wheat. They are only used for fattening war horses.

I was lucky enough to pick up a big leak.

In a few years, even without me, I am afraid that things related to people's livelihood such as flour will be the first to come out in the Western Regions, and then spread to the Davidic Dynasty, setting off a pasta revolution..."

Thinking room.

The Qingzhou soldiers had already obtained stone mills to grind a large amount of hulled wheat grains into powder. They divided the work and cooperated with each other, and soon made sixty baskets of sesame seed cakes, weighing about three hundred and sixty kilograms.

Jiang Chen thought for a few seconds and decided to start with the "Abin Hundred Generals" whom he was familiar with. Then he sent a dozen civilians to deliver sixty baskets of sesame cakes to Feng Lebin and his more than sixty Qingzhou soldiers.

at first.

The soldiers who had eaten too much rice complained and hoped that the cooks could get some rice. If there was no rice, some chestnuts would do.

They really didn't want to take another bite of wheat rice because their cheeks hurt.

but--

A warrior's need for food is three times that of an ordinary person, and he becomes hungry very quickly.

In just one cup of tea, Feng Lebin took the lead and ate the first piece of sesame cake.

Then,

The second piece, the third piece, the fourth piece...

Many Qingzhou soldiers were dumbfounded, watching helplessly as one of their own generals actually ate an entire basket of sesame seed cakes, and even looked at the sesame seed cakes in other people's hands with furtive eyes.

Suddenly.

Even a fool can see that this yellow-orange "wheat rice" is definitely not simple!

All the soldiers rushed to pick up the sesame cakes, put them into their mouths, and swallowed them. They suddenly felt a strong sense of satisfaction and said one after another:

"This is much better than the hard wheat rice I've eaten in recent days!"

“Very fresh and delicious!”

"Brothers, I discovered a new way to eat the biscuits. I just opened a crack in the sesame biscuits. I put in all the minced meat leftover from yesterday's meal and took a bite. It is simply delicious!"

After all the sixty baskets of sesame cakes were eaten and wiped clean, Feng Lebin patted his belly and wanted to praise the deliciousness of the sesame cakes. However, he had no education and could only praise:

"tasty!"

Some soldiers were still not satisfied and asked: "When will we have dinner?"

Feng Lebin responded angrily:

"At night, you can have dinner!"

Some soldiers also chuckled and suggested: "General Bai, take us to the civilian camp to inspect it."

One word wakes up the dreamer!

Without any hesitation, Feng Lebin immediately led more than sixty Qingzhou soldiers and ran straight to the civilian camp.

…………

Civilian camp.

Feng Lebin and more than sixty Qingzhou soldiers rushed to the camp gate and shouted:

"Jiang Baijiang, where is the cake? I want to eat the cake!"

Jiang Chen laughed loudly and waved his hand:

"Come here, feed Abin some cake!"

As the saying goes, if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach, but what Jiang Chen didn't expect was that the delicacy that eventually became popular among Qingzhou soldiers was not sesame cakes, but——

Burn! Cake! Cake! Meat!

Jiang Chen tried to name it "Rouga Mo".

But unfortunately, it failed.

Most Qingzhou soldiers did not recognize this name and retorted:

"Obviously it's Shaobing with meat, so why do you call it Roujiamo?"

Jiang Chen: "..."

soon.

More than a hundred Qingzhou soldiers in the city have become fans of Shaobing with meat.

That night, more than a hundred soldiers held "rougamo" in their hands and chatted and spanked with other comrades.

Such strange things quickly attracted the attention of the school captain Zhang Ying. After he tasted the sesame cakes himself, he immediately came to the conclusion:

"This thing can be used as military rations!"

…………

Early next morning.

Fan Liangshan led the oxen and horses and brought a total of thirteen or four bags of glutinous rice to Jiang Chen, which greatly accelerated the construction of the granary.

Chen Buxu made a rough calculation and found that it would be completed and accepted in at least sixteen or seventeen days.

After all, the granary itself was rebuilt based on the Bushan Courtyard. It was not started from scratch, and the repair speed was much faster than that of ordinary buildings.

Jiang Chen stood in front of the granary gate and asked:

"Uncle, is there any other way to speed up the construction of the granary?"

Chen Buxu licked the pickled pebbles, thought for a moment, and responded:

"Tiles. There is currently a shortage of tiles in the camp. They are either removed from the tops of other houses, or they can only be fired slowly."

The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth raised slightly, and thoughts of prostitution arose in his heart. He raised his eyes and looked at Fan Liangshan's retreating back, and quickly shouted:

"Brother Fan, please stay."

"?"

Fan Liangshan slowly typed a question mark, and suddenly a bad premonition arose in his heart, and he instinctively took half a step back.

…………

In the next few days, Fan Liangshan seemed to have experienced a nightmare life.

Whenever he heard Jiang Chen calling the word "Brother Fan" affectionately, his legs could not help but tremble, and he cursed viciously in his heart:

"It's his mother's fault!"

"You're such a bastard, do you really think we're your brothers?"

In just three days, Jiang Chen borrowed tung oil, tiles, beams, various tools and other items from him on the pretext of building a granary, with a total value of nearly four hundred taels.

He even borrowed some Qingzhou soldiers under his command to use as coolies.
