Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 94

"Let's march!" With Cao Cao's shout, the army started to march without any nonsense.There is no pre-war agitation as imagined, and no impassioned speeches, just an order is enough!
"Follow up, keep up!" Xiahou Dun and other generals came forward one after another, urging the troops to move faster.Considering the speed of the supply troops and the terrain of Yanzhou, it is possible to march about a hundred miles a day, that is, fifty kilometers.Rainy days are halved, and the journey is about [-] to [-] kilometers.

The longer the marching time, the more serious the consumption of supplies, and no prince can ignore the consumption of military rations.

The worst one was actually Wang Yong, who thought at first that he was also the chef of the army, so he should have a horse to travel.In fact, there is indeed, but it is sad to find that I have never ridden a horse!
It wasn't until the noon break that I realized after getting off the horse that the skin on my inner thigh had been worn out.I can only be cheeky, go to the military doctor, ask for some ointment or something, and apply it a little.The refreshing and cooling feeling of the ointment finally eased the burning pain in the inner thigh.

"In the afternoon, why don't you just go and find a scooter for a ride!" When she ran into Xiahou Dun by chance, knowing the situation, she naturally couldn't avoid a burst of cynicism.

"Worriless, here!" Xia Houyuan brought a pair of leather shorts and handed them over. "Although it will be hot, at least it can prevent the inner thighs from being scratched. It is made of lambskin and is very soft."

"Could it be...you..." Wang Yong suddenly realized something.

"Of course!" Xia Houyuan replied, "If you don't want calluses to form on the inner thighs and are afraid of being scratched, you must know how to protect yourself!"

Indeed, here is different from the real Three Kingdoms, especially when there are many women serving as generals, protection measures must be more valued than in the original era.

"I'm so stupid... I'm really so stupid..." After taking the shorts, Wang Yong only felt that he was injured for nothing in the morning!

At lunch time, everyone eats dry food directly, and directly buries the pot to make food. For an army that pays attention to efficiency, it is really a waste of time.

"Master Chef, your dry food!" A soldier of the Huotou Army cautiously handed over two pieces of glutinous rice cakes, which were made of peanut oil residue and rice flour. Store longer.

As a dry food, this thing is enough to satisfy the hunger, the key is to deliberately make it the kind with little water, if you don't eat it with water, you won't be able to eat it at all.

"What do the soldiers think of the dry food?" Wang Yong asked casually.The dry food this time has been reported to Xun Yu, who has approved the production, but whether the soldiers below will accept it still needs further investigation.

"Of course I like it very much!" The soldier quickly replied, "Compared with the previous dry food, this taste is already very good, and the soldiers are very happy to eat it."

"That's good!" Wang Yong nodded. After all, it was his first time serving as the chef of the army, and he was afraid that he might not be good enough.

Then I found Wen Ming and Liu Li, they were different from me, they were marching with the army, and they were wearing a layer of light leather armor, I was a little worried that they would not be able to bear it.

"Can you adapt to the environment in the army?" Wang Yong looked at the two, a little tired, but there seemed to be no major problem.

"Be tired, just get used to it slowly. Besides, the scooters will be emptied one after another. When we get tired, we can find one to sit in." Wen Ming smiled. This kind of marching is actually nothing to him, just watching Liu Li was a little tired.

"It's not bad!" Liu Li panted slowly, she had suffered a lot in the past few years, and she wasn't that delicate.It's just that I worked as a doorman in Wanshiwu for the past two years. The work was not heavy, and my physical strength declined a little.

"That's good, have a good rest! I asked the officials over there that I can get a tent tonight. If you don't have a place to sleep, you can come over and just squeeze in." Wang Yong said casually .Anyway, they are all three old gentlemen, so it’s okay to squeeze them together, after all, you can’t treat your own people badly, right?
"Then bother you!" Of course Wen Ming was fine, it was better to have a tent than to sleep in the open.

"Well, okay..." Liu Li hesitated for a while, but finally felt that it would be more strange not to respond, so he could only nod.

After resting for about half an hour, the army went out again.Basically, we have avoided the time when the sun is at its strongest at noon, but this autumn tiger is so powerful that many people are sweating all over.

In the afternoon, Wang Yong had already applied ointment on his inner thigh and tied it with a bandage. Finally, he put on tight leather shorts, and finally got on the horse. The strong friction feeling weakened a lot. Much more comfortable.

Along the way, the heavy soldiers stopped from time to time to fetch water, and then distributed it to the soldiers.According to Wang Yong's intention, a little bit of salt was sprinkled in the water, otherwise it would not work to just replenish water in this sweating method.The key point is that the price of salt in this world is really not expensive.

In this way, at the end of the day, before dark, the army marched for more than 70 miles, which was considered to have left the jurisdiction of Zhencheng.

"Stay where you are!" The messenger cavalry came all the way and passed on the order.Hearing this order, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After a day of marching, it was really not easy.

"The Hutou army buried pots to make food, and the heavy soldiers set up tents!" The second order was issued, which was only issued according to the usual practice.

"Prepare immediately, assign some people to fetch water, and have a meal of vermicelli tonight!" Wang Yong shouted, everyone is sweating a lot today, vermicelli can be soup or rice, so it's good to add it.

Soak the dried vermicelli directly, then boil it with water, add cured meat and dried vegetables, and you can leave out the salt.

"The officers are a little more extravagant..." Wang Yong personally led someone to cook the dishes. The dishes are made of pork belly and vermicelli. The cooked pork is stewed with vermicelli, steamed in a pot of rice, and fried with a small dish of green vegetables. It is the dinner of the officers and men of the army.

"Pork belly... this thing looks very greasy..." After the food was served, Cao Ren was a little disgusted.

"The march is so tiring, and the battle is even more tiring. It's good to add some oil and water!" Cao Cao didn't care, and just put down his chopsticks.

"Huh?" She just ate a piece of pork belly, but she found that the pork belly was fat but not greasy, and it was delicious after eating, so she couldn't help being a little surprised.

"How did you do this?" Cao Cao looked at Wang Yong curiously.

"The meat is the best pork. It's cheap. I bought some. I used some spices to get rid of the greasy, and at the same time, I spent some time cooking it to make sure that the fat part is as smooth as pudding, but not greasy." Wang Yong replied. road.

The method is a bit similar to braised pork, soy sauce is the key, but the spices cannot be ignored.The main ingredients are bay leaves, star anise and peppercorns, and of course scallion and ginger must also be included.

"It's good for dinner, everyone try it!" Cao Cao motioned to everyone, and then continued to eat.

Since Cao Cao took the lead, everyone naturally began to chopsticks.After I really ate it, I found that it is indeed fat but not greasy. The stewed pork vermicelli has a rich and delicious taste, and the green vegetables just absorb the excess fat, which is very good for cleaning the mouth or finishing the meal.

The vermicelli absorbs the flavor of spices and lard and becomes slippery and delicious. It feels like eating another form of pork instead of vermicelli.It feels good to have a bite of pork stewed vermicelli and then a bite of rice.

"Very good, it seems that you are very clear about the concept of marching meals." Cao Cao wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then looked at Wang Yong.

"I have learned a lot from my colleagues. Xiaoxian knows a lot. Without his help, my subordinates would probably be in a hurry." Wang Yong can't take all the credit for himself, after all, Mao Jie has indeed contributed a lot.

"Well, Mao Jie..." Cao Cao nodded. Mao Jie originally planned to go to Jingzhou to seek refuge with Liu Biao. Later, he realized that Liu Biao's government orders were not strict, so he turned back to join him in the middle of the journey.

His political ability is good, and he is qualified as an intermediate chef, but his personality is a bit disliked, so he was appointed as the marching chef first, intending to temper his temperament.It's been a long time, and I can't remember this person a little bit.However, with his ability, serving as the head chef of the army is really inferior.

Perhaps, after a while, transfer him to a more suitable position!Cao Cao couldn't help thinking.

At night, the army sets up camp, and generally marches within the sphere of influence of one's own army, and there is no need to set up camp at all.At least under normal circumstances.But who made this world special, had to spend half an hour to set up the tent.However, within the sphere of influence of one's own army, there is no need to build additional fences or anything.

"Hurry up and wash up, and have a good rest tonight..." Wang Yong brought over the basins filled with hot water, and handed them to Wen Ming and Liu Li directly, one in each hand.

After all, it is to go along the river, get close to the water source, and get water directly when needed, but the direction of this river is different from the terrain of Dongjun in memory.

"Okay!" I will wake up at five o'clock tomorrow, and I should go to bed early tonight. Of course, Wen Ming has no objection.

"Hmm...Okay." Liu Li was directly embarrassed, after all, she couldn't wash up here.She just wanted to find a place where no one was around, where she could change clothes with peace of mind.

For the first time, I felt that it was such a troublesome thing for a woman to disguise herself as a man, and Liu Li was also struggling with how to keep concealing it.In the army, there is a washing place specially prepared for women, which is specially surrounded by cloth curtains, and men are not allowed to approach around.But the problem is, now her superficial gender is still a 'male', didn't she become a 'voyeur' in the past?
I was in a dilemma, but I didn't want Xu Huang to come over. Seeing the wooden basin in her hand, I immediately understood, so I stepped forward: "Brother, I have something to tell you, why don't you find a place to chat and wash up by the way?" ?”

"Well, okay!" Liu Li immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly agreed.

Not long after, the two found a remote place, Xu Huang gave her a guard, and the latter took off his clothes and began to wash.

"Sister Yi, it's not okay to go on like this..." Xu Huang reminded.

"Find a suitable opportunity, let's talk..." Liu Li quickly cleaned the key parts, and replied in a low voice.

"Is the shopkeeper really a man who can be entrusted with for life? It seems that he is a bit dull, so many beauties surround him, but he doesn't act at all, or is he a Longyang man?" Xu Huang hesitated, and then said out.

"He seems to only care about Governor Cao...Let's look again..." Liu Li frowned slightly, then sighed.

　I slept until twelve o'clock...it was indeed a little late...the first chapter, Chapter 2, I watched and rushed.

　　Ask for favorites, ask for recommendations, ask for rewards!Hey... I have to go to work again tomorrow...
