Chapter 42 Osmanthus Flavored Steamed Bread
It is understandable that these generals from Xiliu Camp are not convinced.
After all, the Xingfeng Army was the central government to pay the wages, and he gave Lu Zeyuan a lot of power, so he could make money. In contrast, the power of the Xiliu Camp was occupied by Lu Zeyuan, so the food and wages of the Xiliu Camp were indeed not as good as the Xingfeng Army.
It's understandable.
Of course, this is not a reason.
In Zhao Xiaonian's view, the army cannot compare treatment, but combat effectiveness!
I have to say that after so long, Xiliuying has not even been able to track down Natasha's whereabouts. It is entirely due to Zhao Xiaonian's guess that the army's intelligence system is too poor, it is simply nothing. This is what makes him very unhappy.
"Let's go, go to Hexi Fort!"
He didn't plan to stay. Seeing that Chen Bing had nothing to do here, he guessed that he must have seen him come and was less confident, so he was so scared that he was sweating.
As soon as Zhao Xiaonian said he was leaving, Chen Bing then put his heart in his stomach, breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Zhao, please come here!"
As soon as he stepped out of the door, a general suddenly said, "Mr. Zhao, it's noon, and he's tired. Let's take a break before leaving. Why don't we eat here during the day!"
ah?
Zhao Xiaonian couldn't help but look at him: "I had a stomach full of mutton in the morning, are you not full yet?"
The general said with confidence: "After Lord Zhao, I have meat to eat, even if I die in battle, I will not be able to wait. However, after eating and fighting, I will work hard for Lord Zhao, and my brothers are willing to do it!"
this……
It's just right to hear him say this!
Although this general didn't say flattery, these straightforward words still made Zhao Xiaonian feel at ease.
What is loyalty, brothers in the world?
Isn’t it just for you, is it worth dying?
Then what's wrong?
At that moment, Zhao Xiaonian nodded: "Okay, General Chen, let's arrange it, I will pay all the expenses! Please keep the account for me!"
"Ah? This!" Chen Bing looked at Zhao Xiaonian with a bitter face...
"According to the rules, you won't lose money!"
Zhao Xiaonian naturally did not short of money, so he ordered the army to garrison and rest and set off again in an hour!
...
The generals from the Xiliu Camp looked at each other, and a cold light appeared in their eyes.
After resting in the camp for a while, Xingfeng Army was quick-handed and cooked very quickly. In order to arrange Zhao Xiaonian's soldiers, Chen Bing specially gave the Xingfeng Army's food to Zhao Xiaonian first and asked him to eat it first.
There is also a canteen specially prepared for soldiers here, which can accommodate about 200 people to have dinner at a time.
The food in the army is relatively simple. Chen Bing also introduced that the northwest is mainly based on pasta, so the food eaten is generally divided into three categories, one is sauce-sauce noodles. Add some white meat to chop the soup and cook a pot of vegetable soup. Then pour it on the white noodles to make a bowl of sauce-sauce noodles commonly found in the north, and then pair it with two steamed buns or sweet potatoes, which are especially popular among soldiers.
Another type is cornmeal and cob porridge, which is mostly for morning food. Mix some cornmeal into millet and cook a pot of thick batter. It tastes unique. If you add some dried meat, the eggs will be better, which will be particularly hungry.
The last type is also the most common one, which is steamed buns, pancakes are just a dish, paint a pot of dishes, dig a bowl of each person, take two large steamed buns, find a place to sit and eat, and then drink two sips of tea and it is particularly moist.
This is what I did today. The big steamed buns were made of braised pork, and then a bowl of cabbage, bean sprouts, vermicelli stewed pork. The content was very plump and made people feel very satisfied when they saw it.
Zhao Xiaonian nodded affirmatively about Xingfeng's food.
However, these generals from the Xiliu Camp seemed not satisfied when they saw this, and they were very unwilling to accept the food. They were slow and could chew a bun for half a day...
Seeing this, Zhao Xiaonian criticized: "You said that when you eat enough, you are full, and you are not allowed to waste food!"
"Mr. Zhao, is this steamed bun delicious?"
Suddenly, the general spoke again, not satisfied, and asked him this question in an unconvinced tone.
This made Zhao Xiaonian stunned, thinking that this guy should have dug some pit, right? He looked at a few people in confusion and then Chen Bing.
Chen Bing smiled and said, "This is the best food for our Xingfeng Army. If Lord Zhao is not satisfied, there is no way for Huyi. Even General Lu is here, this is the only one in Huyi! There is a shortage of supplies in the northwest. Please forgive me!"
"General Chen is polite. This roujiamo is authentic, delicious and delicious! Even if you take it out and sell it for money, everyone has to rush to ask for it! It's delicious!"
"Is it delicious?" the general interrupted.
Zhao Xiaonian lowered his eyebrows and looked at him carefully!
"Mr. Zhao, I'm not sure about it. I was also a chef in my early years!"
"ah?"
The general said coldly, "General Chen has many talented people! Even a Roujiamo can be made so authentic. The surface is soft but not radiant, and the steamed bun is delicious. It is so soft that it feels like the girl's little hand!"
"Um?"
Seeing him say this, he should have a little smile, but his cold face doesn't seem to be praising Chen Bing?
Zhao Xiaonian, who was a little confused, couldn't help but look at Chen Bing.
When he heard others say this bun, he smiled and agreed, but for a moment, he seemed to realize something and his face immediately changed.
this!
"Mr. Zhao! You may not know that you have never steamed steamed buns. The supply in the army is extremely large. The dough is always carried in a large pot and the dough is on the dough. Therefore, you should add less salt when eating this steamed bun, and you can also taste a smell of smelly feet!"
Zhao Xiaonian almost vomited.
The general immediately responded: "The steamed buns here are amazing. Not only does it taste so delicious, but it also has a smell of osmanthus! General Chen's side is really good, the smell of osmanthus!"
After he said this, Zhao Xiaonian savored it carefully and it really smelled of osmanthus.
What does this mean? What is the mystery?
He looked at the general of the Xiliu Camp with a seeking knowledge.
I saw that several generals from Xiliu Camp looked unkind, and finally someone was talking to their own people.
"Mr. Zhao, women usually like to put some flowers in a pot when washing their feet! Over time, the fragrance will appear on their feet!"
"Ah?" Zhao Xiaonian immediately understood, was this bun made by a woman?
But?
Before thinking about it, the general continued to explain: "In the early years, women were sent to the border to serve as military force, but later it was banned. Women who were sent to the local governments were all transferred to the local treasury and used as laborers. Therefore, all the women in our Xiliu Camp handed over! The steamed buns were made by men!"
this……
Chen Bing's face suddenly turned pale.
Zhao Xiaonian also froze.
I couldn't help but look at these generals.
They are complaining...
In theory, the issue of replenishing the camp was banned for a long time, and if found out, it would definitely be severely punished. If Xingfeng Army had such a problem, wouldn’t Zhao Xiaonian have to attack Lu Zeyuan?
This is unscientific!
"Whose man's barracks are so clean? There is at least one woman in a room!"
"that is!"
“…”
"Mr. Zhao, we are full, go to Hexi Fort!"
"Oh... our Xiliuying is raised by the stepmother. There is no way, brothers, let's go!"
"Mr. Zhao..." Chen Bing's face was bleak. He could not see Zhao Xiaonian's face. He could only see his face with three black lines without expression...
"Come on, check it out!"
“…”
“…”
Several generals from Xiliu Camp could not help but turn around to take a look. They just didn't agree, but if they really made a fuss, they would still not dare to turn around and look at Zhao Xiaonian.
"Check it out!"
"Mr. Zhao..."
"check!"
Zhao Xiaonian slapped the table and said angrily: "Check!"
Chapter completed!
