Chapter 109
Sun Tzu once said in "The Art of War": "A general is wise, trustworthy, benevolent, courageous, and strict."

Wang Jian did not lack intelligence, benevolence, courage and military skills, but he lacked trust in front of the Ba people.

Letters generally come from the general's reputation, status, historical achievements and daily interactions.

As far as the Ba people are concerned, it doesn’t matter what the nobles and commoners of the Qin State are, they are all Qin people anyway. If you annoy me, I will go deep into the mountains, and you can still go all over the mountains and plains to catch me?

Many fish had to be caught on their own.Since the twisted melon is not sweet, then don’t get involved.

Wang Jian led 1500 Han soldiers, Baya, Mulanglie, Zhelietuo, and Zhuo Mulang each led 1000 soldiers. Heidou led the Mohists to guard the logistics troops and serve as reinforcements when necessary.

This is completely different from what many fish planned. Many fish originally planned to separate the Black Dolphins and Mohists into separate armies, set up special forces, and carry out assault and beheading operations when necessary.

Time is still too tight. If I give myself another year...

"One assessment every ten days. The assessment is divided into three parts. The first is basic martial arts, mainly shooting. If 12 out of 6 are passed, you will be rewarded. If you exceed it, you will be rewarded. If you are not enough, you will be punished. The second is team training. The main content is to drill the advance and retreat of formations. ; The third is the driving event, mainly horse riding.”

After assigning tasks to many fish, they follow the training every day.

But the Ba people are used to being lazy. In the past, tribes usually fought in a swarm, so there was no tactics at all.

In addition, this time, they came reluctantly, and everyone was thinking about their work at home. I wonder if the prisoners were serious about their work?
The ten days passed by in a blink of an eye due to the laziness of the Ba people.

The first assessment will come soon.

"The first item, shooting! A group of 50 people, start!"

Most of Wang Jian's Han army were veterans. They had been trained all year round, and their discipline and personal abilities were far superior to everyone else.

More than 8% of the soldiers can pass the test, and more than [-]% can shoot [-] arrows.

Five wild boars were disemboweled on the spot!These are the rewards for those who excel today!

As for those who failed, they could only watch from the sidelines.

Five large pots were raised high. These iron pots were made by many Yuming people.Although it consumes a lot of iron, it is strong and resistant to corrosion, and is extremely delicious when cooked.

The cooks poured a few bowls of water into the big basin to collect the blood, sprinkled it with salt to dissolve it, filled it with pig blood, stirred it evenly and left it for half an hour, the pig blood would solidify into a paste.Then use a knife to cut the tofu into square tofu cubes.

An iron pot is boiled with hot water. It's steaming hot, and chunks of springy pig blood are thrown into the pot.

Fatty meat was put into an iron pot and the lard began to boil.The rich aroma of oil filled the entire examination hall.

During the Warring States Period, fats and oils were usually boiled with water, mostly mutton fat, and had a very tangy taste.

But frying fat meat in an iron pan like this is more domineering than simply searing meat!
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

Everyone swallowed unconsciously.

Wang Jian tried his best to maintain his majesty as a general, but his eyes were still glued to the iron pot. Did he have a share of the delicacies in the pot?
Many fish snorted in their hearts. Even Hu Feizi, who pays attention to etiquette, couldn't resist the delicacies made in iron pots. If you eat three bowls of rice in one meal, I don't believe that I can't handle you!
"It's just lard. We have hunted countless wild boars. When we go back, we will do the same."

"Yes, make an iron pot."

"Where did you get the iron?"

"Hehe, melting the weapons is enough, isn't it?"

The Ba people chattered about what the wild boar did.

Baya slapped his subordinate on the back of the head and knocked him to the ground: "You idiot! This weapon belongs to my sister! How dare you?!"

Many fish who caught a glimpse of this scene were moved in their hearts. It would have been better if brother had not taken the lead in evading training.

The third pot will soon be hot. Put in a few pieces of fat and wipe the bottom of the pot. After frying the fat, add onion and ginger. Wait until the pungent aroma is stimulated, then cut it into mahjong-sized pieces. Put the pieces of meat into it.

After the meat is slightly browned, add water and sugar and simmer.Put in sugar? !

Everyone opened their eyes in disbelief to identify whether the powder poured into the pot was sugar.

"Ouch." Qin people were heartbroken, "It's such a waste of natural resources to cook with sugar!"

"How delicious must this meat be?" Someone drooled unsatisfactorily.

Meat itself is delicious, but with salt and sugar added, I can’t even imagine how it tastes together!
Baya clicked her lips: "Mei, you are really spending a lot of money! Listen up, you little bastards, how dare you influence me to eat meat..."

Baya looked around fiercely, baring his teeth in threat.

In fact, there was no need for Baya to threaten him, as his subordinates had already been aroused by the scent and their fighting spirit boiled over.

As if the excitement wasn't enough, the cooks took out the oil residue and lightly sprinkled a layer of sugar on top of the browned and crispy oil residue.

Most of the sugar that ordinary people see is honey and malt.

Yixing is maltose, the clear one is called "饥", and the thick one is called "饧".

"Book of Rites of the Zhou Dynasty·Tianguan·Jiyi" lists "sweet honey" as the representative of "sweetness" among the five flavors.

This time, many of the fish were served with icing sugar!Made from sugar cane.

During the Zhou Dynasty, sugar cane appeared in the south, but it was called Tuo. "Tuojiang" refers to sugarcane juice.

Sucrose, made from sugarcane juice, was called "stone honey", "sugar frost", "shasu", etc. in ancient times. Sugar frost did not appear until the Tang Dynasty.

The frosting method this time was learned by many fish when they visited an ancient sugar factory, and was then handed over to Mao Sui.

The fried iron pot is taken out and put aside to cool, and it will soon solidify into white fat.

At this time, the fourth pot began to cook pork and potatoes, and the fifth pot made meat porridge.

"Those who excel in one of the three assessments can eat meat porridge and pig blood. Those who excel in two can eat meat porridge, pig blood, oil residue, and potato stewed pork. Those who excel in all three can eat all of them and be rewarded with a can of fat. !" Black Dolphin stood on the high general platform and stated the assessment standards three times.

The heralds of each ministry will then convey the rewards to each ministry.

!!!

Is the difference so obvious? !
The soldiers are excited!

The soldiers of Wang Jian's department who had just shot 6 animals regretted it!I thought it was just an ordinary exam and I could pass it.

Never would I have imagined that the rewards would be so generous!
The Ba people team cheered up and were bound to get straight A’s!
The Ba people make a living by hunting, and they are quite good at archery, and their results are comparable to those of Wang Jian's tribe.

"Haha, these delicious meats are all ours!"

"General Wang, when I get the sweet meat, I'll invite you to eat with me." Baya said arrogantly.

Because the meat in the third pot was sweetened with sugar, everyone called it sweet meat.

However, no matter how proud the Ba people were during the first assessment, they would be very disappointed when the second assessment came.

In the team battle assessment, Wang Jian still performed at his normal level.[-]% will pass and [-]% will achieve excellence.

The Ba people are in dire straits...

 Sucrose made from sugarcane juice was called "stone honey", "sugar frost", "sha Xun", etc. in ancient times.Stone honey is lumpy sucrose, while icing sugar and icing sugar are crystallized sucrose."Liangzhou Foreign Objects" written by Yang Fu, a native of Nanhai in the Eastern Han Dynasty, said: "Stone honey is not a stone, so it is also called a fake stone. It is actually fried with sugarcane juice and exposed, and it becomes as solid as a stone, but the body is very light, so It’s called stone honey.” It means that sugarcane juice condenses after being exposed to the sun to form stone honey.Monk Zou of the Tang Dynasty invented the "scented sugar frosting technique" in Suining, Sichuan. Sugar frosting was made through steaming, boiling, decoction and steaming, filling in urns and taking frost.
