The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 301 The battle must be improved
Lv Bu developed a continuous crossbow, and handed over the samples to the craftsmen, requiring them to produce a thousand within a month.

The strong crossbow he developed can hold thirty crossbow arrows in each arrow box.

After all the crossbow arrows have been fired, you can continue to fire as long as you put in a new arrow box.

According to the calculation that each soldier carries twenty arrow boxes, one thousand strong crossbows must be equipped with 60 crossbow bolts.

After the craftsmen got the samples, they figured out the structure and rushed to make it overnight.

Almost all craftsmen in Xuzhou were mobilized, and the construction period was still very tight.

After handing over the repeating crossbow to the craftsmen to make according to the style, Lu Bu returned to the study and waited for the guards to bring the cook.

Not long after, several cooks came.

Never thought that Lu Bu would actually summon them, the cooks stood lined up in front of him, each of them seemed embarrassed.

Looking around their faces, Lu Bu asked, "Am I scary?"

Several cooks quickly replied: "The Marquis of Chu is kind and not scary at all..."

"Since it's not scary, why are you all shaking?" Lu Bu smiled lightly, and said to the cooks, "I came to you to discuss something very important with you, and see if you can solve it."

Standing with their heads bowed to him, the cooks did not say anything.

Lu Bu summoned them, of course he had something to do.

The cooks only hope that things will not be too complicated. If they can't complete the arranged things, the crime is not light.

It has long been seen that these cooks look uneasy, so Lu Bu didn't say anything else to them, but asked them: "Let me ask you, if I want to make dry food in large quantities, how long can you keep it?"

When he asked such a question, the cooks were relieved and raised their heads tremblingly.

One of them said to Lu Bu: "Back to the words of the Marquis of Chu, dry grain storage can be stored for at least one month, and at most three to five months. It depends on whether it is dried or not, and it also depends on where it is stored."

"I want the soldiers to take them into battle." Lu Bu said, "When marching and fighting, it is too troublesome to always bury the pot to cook food. Can you make dry food mixed with vegetables, meat and grain?"

When he asked this question, the cooks were really asked.

As far as dry food is concerned, they really know how to get it.

But they have never made dry food mixed with vegetables and meat.

It was the cook who asked Lu Bu cautiously: "Does Chu Hou want to mix meat and vegetables with the grain and make it into dry food for the soldiers to bring?"

"Exactly." Lu Bu asked, "Don't you think it's difficult?"

Several cooks glanced at each other, and another one said: "The difficulty is not difficult, but I am afraid that the dry food made will not be very tasty, and with meat and vegetables, I am afraid that it will not be as easy to preserve as pure dry food."

"What I want is dry food that can be preserved and has as much meat as vegetables." Lu Bu said, "And the taste of dry food must not be monotonous. It must be eaten by the soldiers, and the taste is still delicious. To You know, the soldiers went out to fight, and their lives are very poor. If I also get a single ration, how can I lead them to fight against the enemy?"

"What Chu Hou said is true." Several cooks quickly agreed: "We will go back and think about it, and Chu Hou will definitely be satisfied."

"I can't be satisfied." Lu Bu shook his head: "What you have to do is to satisfy every soldier. Only when they are satisfied can I count credit for you."

"I don't dare to say the credit, as long as it is ordered by the Marquis Chu, we will definitely do it with our heart." Several cooks agreed in unison.

When they exited Lu Bu's room, the cooks all had embarrassed expressions on their faces.

The task Lu Bu gave them was not too difficult, and it was even simple for them who cook all the year round.

But it is not so easy to satisfy every soldier.

Having been cooks in the army for so many years, they all know that soldiers have different tastes, no matter what kind of food they make, there will always be people who find it unpalatable.

Of course, some people think that a certain meal they make is still delicious...

If the food is like this, it goes without saying that it is dry food.

Dried food was originally intended to be portable when traveling.

While it is easy to carry, I also want to take into account the taste, that is a bit picky...

With such thoughts, the cooks did not dare to say it in front of Lu Bu, so they could only take the order and go back.

Of course they dare not think about the so-called credit.

What they want to do most is to make dry food that can satisfy Lu Bu, and let's pass this level first.

Sun Ce sent the cooks to the door of the study, and waited for them to leave before turning back.

He said to Lu Bu who was sitting in the study: "Hou Chu, in fact, I also thought about letting the soldiers carry dry food to satisfy their hunger, but if they eat too much dry food, the soldiers' health will be affected, so I gave up later... "

"Have Bo Fu calculated how much food a soldier eats in a day?" Lu Bu didn't ask him how he did it, but asked suddenly.

Sun Ce replied: "Every soldier eats a bucket of rice every day..."

"Do you know how much rice can be cooked from a bucket of rice?" Lu Bu smiled slightly and asked Sun Ce, "Why can the soldiers eat so much?"

Sun Ce, who didn't understand what he meant at all, looked at a loss.

Once the lord of Jiangdong, he didn't think it was a big deal for a soldier to eat a bucket of rice a day.

Some eat a lot, and can even eat two or three buckets a day...

But the meaning revealed in Lu Bu's words has the meaning that he thinks the soldiers eat too much.

"If the Marquis of Chu cares about food and doesn't let the soldiers fill their stomachs, I'm afraid they won't be able to fight when they go to the battlefield." Sun Ce said: "I don't think it's better not to calculate how much the soldiers can eat a day..."

"Of course we have to calculate how much they can eat in a day." Lu Bu said: "Food is precious, the more we eat, the more luggage we have. I have been observing the soldiers and found that when they only eat rice, they have a special appetite. Big. If it is paired with some meat, the food consumed will be reduced."

Sun Ce seemed to understand what Lu Bu meant. He nodded and said, "Marquis Chu is right. The soldiers don't have meat in their stomachs, so they eat a lot..."

"People, eating is not only to fill the stomach, but also a kind of enjoyment." Lu Bu said: "The same is true for the military and war meals. As expected, I can only say that the cooking of war rice is too poor. I plan to completely change the war rice in the army. Not only should the dry food taste good, but the soldiers who enter the city and eat cooked war rice every day must also taste delicious. Just do it."
