Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

Chapter 16 Fortunately, I still feel pity, it turns out that the clown is myself!

Ying Zheng stood on the chariot, wiped the sweat and dust off his face with both hands, and said straight to the point: "I ordered the fortresses along the way, and the counties and counties to supply military supplies. Are you ready?"

"Already ready." Li Xin replied without panicking.

"good!"

Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction, and looked at Qin Mo who was standing beside him on his horse.

Qin Mo waved his hand back: "Zhang Sima, hand over the food immediately."

"Here."

Zhang Cang, who had lost a lot of weight, got off his horse and walked towards Li Xin with his legs crossed.

Half an hour later, [-] knights left Xiaoguan, and continued to rush to the border of Zhao without stopping.

"Aiqing, why don't you rest overnight in Guanzhong and march tomorrow?"

Ying Zheng asked Qin Mo while nibbling on the dry pot helmet.

He really has never suffered such a crime. If he is not in the prime of life, he may not be able to hold on.

Qin Mo rode his horse and said, "If you can travel half a day longer, don't waste time. After all, cavalry attack is all about speed."

"And just now, General Li Xin's astonishment, His Majesty must have seen it. That's why I advocate a quick march."

"General Li Xin didn't expect it, and the Xiongnu will definitely be caught off guard!"

Ying Zheng gritted his teeth and nodded, continuing to gnaw on the pot helmet on the chariot.

That appearance is really frightening!
Qin Mo couldn't bear to see it, and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, don't eat the pot helmet. When we camp at night, I will ask Huotoujun to make mutton steamed buns."

"Better than this pot helmet?"

Yingzheng regained his spirits immediately, and Danfeng's eyes lit up.

Is the pot helmet delicious?
For Qin Mo, it was an ordinary staple food.

But for Ying Zheng and the [-] expeditionary knights, Guokui is undoubtedly a unique delicacy.

The military rations used by the Qin army were actually not pot helmets. Instead, rice and millet were more popular than wheat.

First of all, Guanzhong at this time has a humid climate, fertile land, abundant rain and many rivers. The Land of Abundance also refers to Guanzhong at the earliest, and it is far from the over-developed appearance of later generations.

All in all, great for growing rice!

Secondly, in the pre-Qin period, stone mills had not yet appeared, or perhaps existed, but sincerity was not popularized.

Therefore, most of the wheat is steamed and boiled into wheat rice, which is really not good to eat!
This time when he went to the Xiongnu, Qin Mo asked the Shaofu supervisor to build a stone mill, buy wheat from Guanzhong, and grind it into flour for the army, so that the soldiers could carry it on horses.

I plan to go to the frontier and make it into pot helmets or fried noodles before going out to fight in the fortress, in order to extend the shelf life for more!
As for what Ying Zheng ate, it was made by Qin Mo for the Huotou army to try out before the expedition.

……

In the evening, [-] knights camped against the Jing River, and a simple camp was completed before nightfall.

The Huotou army has also cooked mutton steamed buns for the whole army!
Fusu personally brought an iron basin and dedicated it to Lao Tzu Yingzheng.

"Where does so much mutton come from?"

Seeing that all the soldiers in the battalion were feasting on big pieces, Ying Zheng asked curiously.

Qin Mo took the initiative to explain: "It was the old general Li Xin from Xiaoguan before. He insisted on presenting it to His Majesty. It is all freshly slaughtered mutton. Your Majesty can eat it without worry."

As he said that, his face darkened and he said: "Your Majesty has clearly issued an order that you only need to provide the army with the necessary military supplies, and don't be extravagant."

"However, old general Li Xin still does his own thing and presents thousands of mutton pieces. He really should be punished!"

The corner of Ying Zheng's mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.

Others pick up the bowl to eat and put down the bowl to scold their mothers. It's good for you, you start scolding your mother before you pick up the bowl.

If you have the ability, when you are in Xiaoguan, don't ask for these mutton!
"Well, delicious."

Ying Zheng didn't want to break Li Xin's loyal heart, so he played a sloppy eye and didn't mention punishment, and began to focus on the delicious food in front of him.

The mutton steamed buns cooked according to the methods of later generations are classic and delicious.

Yingzheng's food was dripping with juice, and his beard was sticky. While eating, he praised: "Who cooks such delicious food? Compared with it, the chef in the palace should chop it up and throw it to the dogs!"

This way of boasting is very ancestral.

But Fusu seemed to understand Lao Tzu's feelings very well, and nodded and said: "Of course, the food prepared by the royal chef is not as good as that of the fire-headed army. You should throw it to the dogs."

"Firehead Army?"

Ying Zheng raised his head from the iron rice bowl, his face full of suspicion.

Fu Su nodded: "It is indeed the Huotou Army, but they have been instructed by the General."

Ying Zheng looked at Qin Mo, who was busy eating, and asked curiously, "Aiqing is good at cooking?"

Qin Mo replied vaguely: "I understand."

"The general is humble again..."

Fu Su was stunned, and immediately said excitedly: "I don't know something about the emperor, the general's cooking skills are amazing."

"It can even turn decay into magic. A pot of overnight rice can be cooked for a thousand gold. It's called fried rice with eggs. When I tasted it for the first time, my son almost chewed his tongue!"

Ying Zheng was stunned when he heard the word overnight meal.

The first time I went to the hut where Qin Mo lived, wasn't it because I saw a bowl of overnight rice that I felt pity and lost my temper?
Yingzheng was dazed for a while, and then asked tentatively, "Is the egg fried rice better than this soup?"

Fusu replied without hesitation: "Egg fried rice is even better!"

He has lived so long, he has drunk countless mutton soup, although it is not as delicious as the one in front of him, he has always drunk it.

But he only ate the egg fried rice fried in the iron pan once in his life, so he was naturally amazed!

Ying Zheng's face twitched, and he now understood why Qin Mo's face was full of regret when he smashed the bowl of overnight rice.

People really love food.

Fortunately, I still feel pity, it turns out that the clown is myself!

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Qin Mo finally raised his head from the rice bowl and asked.

Ying Zheng solemnly said with a Chinese face, "I... want fried rice with eggs!"

Qin Mo was speechless, unable to laugh or cry, and said: "I have overnight dinner later, so I will cook it for you, Your Majesty, please taste it."

Ying Zheng: "I want scrambled eggs!"

Qin Mo: "..."

You leave this old monk to recite scriptures.

This foodie is probably not a fake Zulong.

……

After the Great Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, it redefined the scope of Beidi County and Shang County, and the two counties covered most of the old land of Zhaodi.

Among them, Shangjun faced the Huns directly, and they could drive Hetao directly after leaving the Great Wall.

The frontier guard army led by Meng Tian is stationed on the front line of the Zhao Great Wall in Shangjun, but there is a saying that if you defend for a long time, you will lose, and the long border line cannot be defended.

When the Xiongnu invaded Zhao's land this time, the frontier garrison hardly played a role, and could only chase the Xiongnu cavalry who looted everywhere to eat ashes.

However, with [-] knights rushing to Shangjun non-stop, the good days of the Huns cavalry will come to an end!
"Report...Your Majesty, General, the forward sentry rode ten miles ahead, and found more than a thousand Hun cavalry."

A horse came at a gallop, and before it got close, the knight on the horse was already singing loudly.

Yingzheng's sluggish spirit was shocked immediately, Danfeng's eyes shot fierce light: "Qin Qing, go and kill him, I don't want to live!"
