Chapter 72 Making Steamed Buns

Chapter 72 Making Steamed Buns

Under the control of Fusu and Yao Jia, even though the matter of Huhai was well known in Xianyang, Yingzheng on the way to Shangjun was still kept in the dark.

At this moment, he was completely silent in eating, drinking and having fun.

I don't know where Zhao Gang found so many ingredients, and he cooks delicious food for Ying Zheng without repeating it every day.

While Ying Zheng was having fun, he also urged Zhao Gang to quickly implement the food reform.

In the past, the closer the Qin army was to the capital, the better the food supply would be, and the farther away they were, the worse the food would naturally be.

Often for ten days and a half months, they can only eat dry rice and flatbread.

Now that it has been decided to change the soldiers' physique, they cannot just rely on bread to satisfy their hunger.

Before the army entered the boundary of Shangjun, Yingzheng had arranged in advance for the people below to buy a large number of pigs and hoard them.

Although the military expenditure is much higher than in the past, as long as the Qin army's weak physique can be changed, Ying Zheng thinks that these expenditures are worthwhile.

In the past, whoever persuaded Ying Zheng to bring more pigs to the war, Ying Zheng would definitely think that he was a psychopath.

But now with the method of making bacon, Ying Zheng no longer has to worry about the army going out without meat.

Naturally, you won't be stingy with that little money when you hoard it.

Ying Zheng is preparing for the pork, while Zhao Gang has already moved forward.

Today's Huotouying has completely become the place that Qin soldiers most yearn for.

Fighting on the battlefield, whether it is the soldiers of each battalion or the soldiers of the Huotou battalion, all must participate.

Therefore, there is almost no difference between the two in terms of military merit and promotion.

But Huotouying is in the oil and water department, so not only can they get meritorious service, but they can also eat well.

Especially after Zhao Gang came, the food in Huotouying has been brought up to a new level again.

After hearing the news, there were as many soldiers as a cow's hair, and everyone was desperate to get in.

In the end, it was Wang Li who stood up and ended the farce.

Even so, everyone's yearning for Huotouying has not diminished in the slightest.

Every time it's meal time, outside the Huotou camp, the inner three floors are surrounded by water.

Everyone was waiting for Zhao Gang to appear. Even if they couldn't taste the latest delicacies, it was still great to smell the smell.

After setting up the camp, the soldiers of Huotou Camp began to prepare dinner. Just when everyone was getting impatient, Zhao Gang finally appeared in front of them.

After taking a breath, Zhao Gang's spirit was much weaker than yesterday.

Although there was no Simmons in this era, at least he slept on a hard bed in his residence in Xianyang.

But since the start of the army, Zhao Gang has been using the sky as his bed and the ground as his bed all day long. He doesn't feel any sensation when he sleeps, but only feels sore all over his body when he wakes up.

Especially after autumn, the temperature dropped, making it even more difficult for Zhao Gang to adapt.

Turning and turning, it wasn't until after noon that I got up from the vehicle transporting grain and grass.

"grown ups."

Zhao Gang's relatives came over with Luo Feng.

"Is everything I need ready?"

"Everything is arranged according to the adults' needs, but the flour may not be as white as the adults said."

Zhao Gang waved his hand calmly.

"It's no wonder that even if you want to grind low-gluten flour in this day and age, you may not be able to do it. Anyway, you can prepare all the things I need."

Luo Feng replied with a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, my lord, everything is ready."

Zhao Gang said calmly, "It's useful for me to boil water."

Several Huotou troops arranged by Wang Li got busy quickly.

Zhao Gang is going to make steamed buns today.

If he remembers correctly, steamed buns were invented by Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu.

If he can invent it, he can get another source of correction value.

Now, in order to hide merit and fame, the book-making plan in Xianyang has been put on hold for the time being, and there must be a new channel to obtain the correction value.

Flour has always been the main source of food for Qin Jun.But in the past they were more of making flour into dead dough.

This kind of bread tastes full, but the taste is extremely bad. The longer it is stored, it is basically the same as a stone.

It is not easy to soften it when eating.

On the grassland, the most lacking thing is water, any drop of water may save the life of a soldier at a critical moment.

If you eat bread, you must use a lot of water to soften it.

One is time-consuming, and the other is water-consuming.

But steamed buns, especially breaded steamed buns, do not have this shortcoming.

Although it will harden over time.

But soldiers only need to drink water to swallow the steamed buns.

If you can make a fire, you can also heat the steamed buns before eating.

Just as he was thinking, Luo Feng walked over with a bag of flour.

"My lord, the flour is here. If it's not enough, I'll carry it."

Zhao Gang was stunned when he saw this.

"My dear, at least 100 catties of flour. Are you planning to exhaust me to death all at once?"

Luo Feng didn't know what Zhao Gang was planning to do, and he took the attitude that the more the better.Seeing Zhao Gang said in a bad mood, he could only touch the back of his head and smile awkwardly.

"Okay, don't be idle, come over and help me knead the dough immediately."

Several burly men quickly approached, and followed Zhao Gang's instructions to get busy.

Without a tank, Zhao Gang could only find a few clay pots to make do with.

After kneading the dough, Zhao Gang found a piece of cloth and covered him.

"My lord, don't you go directly to the fire?"

"bake?"

"On weekdays, we bake our cakes on fire."

"Cakes naturally have to be dried in order to preserve them for a longer period of time, but steamed buns are different. When you look at them later, the noodles will automatically grow bigger, soft and sweet."

Relying on natural fermentation, Zhao Gang didn't have the time. To save trouble, he changed some baking powder.

"Get bigger?"

There was a look of disbelief on everyone's face.

They are all people who have been busy in front of the stove all the year round, and the noodles they have kneaded range from [-] to [-] jin.

This is the first time I have heard that the size of this side will become larger.

If it can grow infinitely larger, then only one pancake will be enough for everyone to eat.

If Zhao Gang knew what they were thinking, he might complain about their daydreaming again.
