Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 232 Steamed Bread
[Ding, the little childish slave returns from traveling, bringing special products, please check with the host]
With a smile on his face, Qin Wangzheng clicked on the system panel, and a dough shaped like a human head appeared in front of him.

After being prompted by the system, I learned that this item was a steamed bun.

Or become a "barbarian".

It is a sacrificial object created by Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period.

At that time, Zhuge Liang personally led the army to the south to conquer Meng De, and the winning squad returned to Chaolu to Lushui.

When Meng De learned that Zhuge Liang was trapped here, he wrote a letter saying that there is a ghost in this river, who often stirs up wind and waves, causing the boat to capsize and people to die.

If you want to cross the river, you need to sacrifice 49 human heads and a black sheep as tribute to calm the storm.

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang couldn't bear to sacrifice human heads, so he asked people to mix white flour with water and fill it with beef and mutton to make human heads for sacrifice.

The next day, as expected, Lushui was calm and the Shu army returned to the court safely.

This is the origin of steamed buns.

But at this time, the steamed buns are different from the thick ones. They contain meat filling inside, which is equivalent to the steamed buns of later generations.

But Qin Wangzheng said slowly: "The making of this dough is somewhat similar to steamed cakes!"

It turns out that this delicacy existed during the Warring States Period. At that time, it was still a cake-shaped dough, which was eaten by the army and was easy to carry.

But for the dough with the same surface area, only the spherical object has the largest volume and the most energy.

If steamed buns are used as military rations, wouldn't the army be able to replenish more energy, would it be more powerful to kill the enemy, and would it be possible to kill a few more heads?

Immediately, Qin Wangzheng ordered the Shangshi order of the imperial dining room to make a complete steamed bun according to the dough.

Shang Shiling looked dazed, but Qin Wangzheng is an emperor through the ages, how dare he refuse to follow?
So, after half an hour, Shang Shiling finally figured out the formula.

When making steamed buns, the recipe is mainly steamed buns and beef.

First, cut the top of the steamed bun flat, beat the eggs with salt and starch, and pour in minced beef, minced pork, and minced mutton respectively.

Next, add ginger, sugar, salt, and oil, mix well, put them on the cut steamed buns, cover with sliced ​​carrots, and steam in a pot for 10 minutes.

Finally, put a little oil in the pan, stir-fry the scallions until fragrant, put the steamed buns into the pan and fry for a while.

Qin Wangzheng asked him to make an easy-to-carry, fist-sized steamed bun, and Shang Shi ordered him to do so.

The King of Qin also ordered Zhang Han, the baggage general, to return to the capital, and ordered the cooks who followed the army to learn the recipe and popularize it in the army, so that the soldiers of the three armies could eat some fresh gravy and taste the delicious dough.

After Zhang Han took a light bite, his face was full of intoxication, as if he had come to a paradise, and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, this thing should only exist in the sky, and it is rare to hear it in the world."

"If this thing is popularized in the army, the soldiers will have more strength to go to battle and kill the enemy after eating a delicious meal of steamed buns!"

Seeing Zhang Han's high evaluation, Qin Wangzheng also had a faint smile on his face.

After watching Zhang Han leave, Qin Wangzheng continued to pick up a steamed bun to taste, and the gravy splashed out as soon as he took a bite, echoing in the corner of Qin Wangzheng's mouth. When the meat and noodles were eaten together, there was only a faint fragrance, with endless aftertaste.

Qin Wangzheng ordered Shang Shi Ling to set up breakfast and dinner like this, and looked down at the little childish slave, and said with a slight smile: "The little childish slave has added another delicacy to me!"

At the same time, in the clouds thousands of miles away, a long and narrow stone wall meanders among the peaks and hills at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain.

Stretching for hundreds of miles, this is the Great Wall of Zhao built by King Wuling of Zhao.

That was the Great Wall of Zhao State back then, which was used to resist the Huns.

It's a pity that Zhao State was abandoned after the Great Decline in the War of Changping. The Huns roared from the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain. They demolished Jiuyuan City and began to take away the bricks and stones on the Great Wall of Zhao to tamp them down. Felt tents in the sheepfold, and near the Great Wall of Zhao, Touman City was established, and Shanyu Wangting was set up.

But the good times didn't last long, Zhao general Li Mu led an army roaring here.

Li Mu first lost five battles in a row, gave up countless cattle, sheep and baggage, and lured the main Xiongnu forces from their grasslands to the outside of the Great Wall built by the Han people for a decisive battle, and used methods to show weakness to the enemy to paralyze the opponent.

Then there was a quick attack, gathering soldiers and horses late at night, attacking the Huns camp at night, and killing the Huns knights who were on the horses all day long in their sleep.

At the same time, Li Mu sent people to reload the chariots, surrounded the exit of the Huns camp, and shot the Huns fugitives with arrows dense as locusts.

This battle almost wiped out the main force of the Huns, and it will be difficult to recover within a few years.

It's just that Li Mu fell into Guo Kai's divorce plan and died in tears.

However, in order to promote the united front of the anti-Rong Di people, Qin State built a ancestral hall for Li Mu.

The people of Daidi often come here to pay homage to Li Mu, a national hero. Li Zuoche is a frequent visitor to the ancestral hall to pay respects to his grandfather, but he is still hiding his name and has not disclosed his identity.

However, as a strategist under Han Xin's account, he attracted Han Xin's attention, making the last stand relying on his intelligence to win an all-round victory.

Even Li Xin, the Qin general guarding Daidi, was amazed by Li Mu's achievements and often visited the ancestral hall.

If it weren't for the divorce plan back then, the Qin and Zhao countries might have lost both sides in the fight, and the Chu and Qi countries would be proud in the end.

The State of Zhao even rumored that "Li Mu will not die, and the State of Zhao will not be destroyed", which shows his position in the hearts of the people of Zhao State, but as a general of Qin, Li Xin also respects him very much. Li Mu used the tactics of Sun Tzu's Art of War to the extreme.

The war against the Xiongnu is a classic example of the joint combat of the Han army on horseback and chariots, providing a model for the Han regime to fight against the Xiongnu in the future.

And Li Xin's visit to Li Mu also hoped to follow Li Mu's example and travel all over the Helan Mountains, so that the Huns would not dare to go south to herd horses, dare not bend their bows and complain, so that they would not dare to harass the Central Plains for a hundred years.

This is the purpose of this campaign, if Mao Dun took the initiative to provoke, then he would be beaten all over the place, and even exterminate his family at all costs!
Now, after decades, the flag of the Central Plains is once again flying on a long-abandoned beacon tower, not only "Zhao", but "Qin"!
Li Xin looked proudly at the resurgent Beacon Tower, he admired and admired Li Mu, and now, he wanted to do what Li Mu wanted to do but couldn't: Sweep Shanyu Wangting! Destroy the Xiongnu for His Majesty!
Accompanied by honeycomb briquettes, leather balls, and sheep woolen sweaters, the long winter was spent safely.

Li Xin also frowned and looked at the map of Baili Kan. The war in the coming year would be the four-way army encircling and suppressing the Xiongnu's Northern False Royal Court, annihilating the main force of the Xiongnu in one fell swoop.

The plan is good, annihilating the Xiongnu in one fell swoop seems to be in sight, and the four generals in this campaign will also be praised by the Qin people in the future, and even ancestral halls will be set up.

But Li Xin always has a weird feeling
