Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 634

In fact, the Huotou Army had already unloaded the materials for the first time, but if it was necessary to bury the pot for cooking, there was not an hour when it could not be done, and this was the result of non-stop work.

Because of the arrest of the thief, Wang Yong and others delayed for half an hour, and it was less than an hour before the time for dinner. Unless you prepare quick dishes, which can be done in ten minutes, otherwise, dinner tonight must be postponed.

It's nothing in itself, after all, there is an hour for eating, even if they don't see each other for half an hour, there is still enough time for them to eat and digest.So Cao Cao ordered him to prepare meals before [-] o'clock, which was somewhat embarrassing.

"My lord, at least I wiped out a wave of thieves around Xudu..." Wang Yong tried to plead.

"You should send someone to ask us for help as soon as possible! Have you forgotten that you are not a regular army, but the chef of the army!" Cao Cao reprimanded directly, "Not to mention that you sent people to arrest thieves indiscriminately. Okay, if it doesn't work, do you want to post the guards and even the supplies? And look, you have been delayed for half an hour because of arresting the thieves. Even if you want to make a good meal, it means that my soldiers We have to delay half an hour before we can have dinner!"

In the end, a conclusion was given: "Considering that you have already wiped out the culprit, then you can only count your efforts as worthless, and you will not be held accountable for the result of sending troops without authorization. But if you want to keep this female culprit, you must meet the conditions I set out now! "

Wang Yong was a little surprised and a little unconvinced when he heard this, but seeing Cao Cao's worried eyes hidden under his cold expression, he couldn't say anything.As the main general, the other party can't joke casually on the battlefield. Needless to say, how important the supplies are, even if something goes wrong, even if Wang Yong is taken down and executed, she can't save people rashly.

"Okay, my subordinates understand..." Wang Yong couldn't say anything more. The nature of the matter was like this. If he wanted to keep Zhou Cang, he had to make up for the delay in the rendezvous time, which caused the dinner time to be delayed.

Guo Jia and others followed behind Cao Cao, but they couldn't say anything.It is said that military law is the most boring. Wang Yong's biggest situation at the time was that he didn't send someone to ask for help at the first time, and he went to face the thieves himself.

Victory is naturally a good thing, but if the battle is defeated, will the supplies be snatched by thieves?Take ten thousand steps back and say, what if the thieves only come from the front troops, and there will be ambushes later? !

If the military food and supplies are robbed, then the whole body will be mobilized, and there is no need to fight, just turn around and go back.Even if you can continue to fight, it will definitely have a great impact on morale.

So in this matter, they have no way to refute Cao Cao, even if Cao Cao wants to protect Wang Yong, they can't be too much, otherwise they will be suspected of bending the law for personal gain.

"Come..." Cao Cao beckoned immediately, "The thousands of captives... find a place to execute on the spot..."

"Obey!" The one who stepped forward was Zhu Ling, who was originally under Yuan Shao's command. When Cao Cao was attacking Tao Qian, Yuan Shao sent him to support him, and the latter stayed in the end.He is also quite powerful and skilled in the art of war, and now he has become the commanding general of the Central Army.

Maybe there is no shortage of food, and it is not a problem to support thousands of people.The biggest problem is that Cao Cao has no time to take care of thousands of people, especially thousands of people who are still hungry. The military rations cannot be moved casually, but if they are left alone, they may cause trouble. Execution is the best way.

"My lord, it's not far from Xinji County..." Guo Jia still came forward to persuade him, "It only takes an hour for the fast horse to arrive, and these captives only need to be fed with some water, and it will not be a problem to last for a day."

"Forget it, hurry up and go to Xinji County!" Cao Cao sighed, and finally waved his hand, "Look, don't let them make trouble!"

"Anyone who makes a fuss will be killed without mercy!" Guo Jia thought for a while and made a suggestion. Sometimes kindness is really bad.

"Just do what Feng Xiao said!" Cao Cao nodded, then looked at Zhu Ling.

"Of order!" Zhu Ling nodded, and immediately went down to make arrangements.He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he found that Cao Cao seemed to be gentler than when he met three years ago.This is not good, for example, this time, it is really not decisive.

On the other hand, Wang Yong was suffering from a headache. Now the Huotou army had unloaded the things and started digging the stove at the same time. At the same time, some people began to collect firewood around, and the rest was to process the materials and prepare for cooking.

For them, being late is not their reason, so it doesn't matter if they cook a little late.The problem is that Wang Yong can't do it here. If he wants to keep Zhou Cang, he must finish tonight's dinner in less than half an hour.

"It seems that we can only go the wrong way!" Wang Yong thought for a while, then looked at Cai Yan, "How are the materials prepared?"

"The ham is ready, the carrots and onions are ready...what's wrong?" Cai Yan seemed to have discovered something.

"I have to prepare dinner in less than half an hour! Therefore, I will change the menu tonight!" Wang Yong replied.

"If you change the menu temporarily... I guess it's not good? Besides, it takes a while to start cooking, let alone the matching meals. We don't have so many pots!"

"So I cook together!" Wang Yong gritted his teeth, "Change the menu, and at the same time prepare some raisins, cumin powder and peppercorns, and make pilaf tonight!"

"Is that the time you failed in making it?" Wen Ming seemed to recall a previous pilaf.

"I found out that instead of frying together, I put the fried ingredients into the rice and cook them together..." Wang Yong replied. In fact, after that failure, he has been looking for problems, and finally realized that What is the situation.

"The problem is that we don't have mutton...you don't plan to use ham to improve it?" Cai Yan suddenly realized something.

"Yes, use ham to improve. The problem is that we don't have extra time to soak the ham, so the taste will be salty. When cooking, we should pay attention to the salt content." Wang Yong replied.

The biggest problem is here. They are currently on the march, so they mainly rely on ingredients that can be carried for a long time.Only when they are officially stationed will they buy ingredients around them, as a supplement to the military rations, in the final analysis, it is to adjust the taste.

Fresh meat, of course, there is no way to count on it, after having ham, bacon and pickles on hand.By the way, this bacon is no longer Cheng's bacon...

You can also bring a batch of pigs or sheep with the army, as the nomads will do.The Central Plains can’t do it, tens of thousands of troops need too many livestock. At this time, an enemy attack will cause these livestock to run around. At that time, the small disturbance will turn into a big chaos. That's it.

"How about boiling the ham in advance to get the salt out?" Marching Sous Chef stepped forward and asked.

"Yes!" Wang Yong nodded when he heard the words. Although this will reduce the flavor of the ham, it can dilute the salt very well.Even the boiled broth can be used as a sample soup if it is diluted and added with other ingredients.

Sure enough, at this time, it is still necessary for everyone to make suggestions together in order to do things well.

"I don't have much time. Because of my personal reasons, I need to prepare dinner before [-] o'clock. I hope everyone can help me!" Wang Yong solemnly came to all the fire-headed troops and bowed to them.

"There is no need for the chef!" Everyone responded, "If you need anything, just follow orders!"

　At first I planned to try ochazuke, which is the ochazuke rice ball with scorpion fish. Later, I found that scorpion fish is mackerel, which is a sea fish, and in this era... huh, so I planned to change the menu, and then I found out that I am on the way to march now. , It’s not easy to buy ingredients at all, and finally I had to temporarily improve the recipe... I struggled for a long time for this chapter, it’s really...
