Datang romantic little landlord

"Hehe, Ziyou is blaming me?"

"I dare not."

"Don't you dare?" Li Er slammed a chestnut on Li Wangyou's head: "I didn't see why you didn't dare! How dare you show me a face? Believe it or not, I will order someone to turn you away to the Lizheng Hall immediately." , let the queen teach you a lesson?"

Hearing this, Li Wangyou's face became even more bitter, and he begged for mercy.

"Your Majesty... oh, no, uncle, it's my nephew who made a mistake, and my nephew knows it's wrong."

Those who know current affairs are heroes, and when it's time to confess, it's better to admit it to ensure safety.

If Empress Changsun started to ramble, it would be quite tortured... Li Wangyou would rather go to the prison in Yushitai than listen to Empress Changsun rambling.

"Hmph, next time, I will not let you down! Lead the way to your castle terrace, I want to drink cold beer today!"

Li Wangyou was speechless, dumbfounded, sure enough, the group of dandies were getting bigger and bigger mouths.It is estimated that the whole Chang'an city knows about drinking cold beer, right?

In fact, his guess was not wrong at all. Even the clever merchants in Chang'an City have already learned to grill skewers, and many restaurants have launched barbecue dishes.

In addition to the fact that no one knows how to brew beer, and it will not be available for a while, barbecue has quickly become popular in Chang'an City, and has even spread to the surrounding counties.

Cheng Yaojin was even more open-mouthed. He laughed immediately when he heard the words, and said proudly: "Your Majesty, you came to my house a few days ago and brought a few barrels of beer to honor me. Although the beer is light, you can drink it after chilling. , but it is quite refreshing! Your Majesty and the princes should drink a few more glasses today."

What he said, both inwardly and outwardly, was full of embarrassment, obviously showing off that Li Er, Yuchi Jingde and others did not drink beer.

Li Wangyou was so angry that he rolled his eyes and became paralyzed. The beer that was sent to Duke Lu's mansion should be poured out and fed to the dogs!

Didn't this meow blatantly put eye drops on him?

Sure enough, when Li Eryi heard Cheng Yaojin's words, his expression immediately became displeased.

"Ziyou, why don't you send me some beer into the palace?"

Why?

Don't you have any clues in your heart?

It's not you who forced me to go to the Western Regions to eat sand, so why don't I give you beer?

Li Wangyou's eyes almost rolled to the sky, but he could only show a sincere and fearful expression: "Uncle wrongly blamed my nephew, this beer has only been brewed not long ago, my nephew must find someone to try it first, drink it Will this wine cause some hysteria? Uncle's dragon body is important, how dare my nephew offer wine at will?"

"Haha, Ziyou's words are right!" Li Er was overjoyed when he heard the words, and turned his head to glance at Cheng Yaojin, who was stunned: "Some old men have rough skin and thick flesh, so it's perfect for wine tasting!"

All the big bosses who hadn't had any beer also laughed, and they all began to tease the old rascal Cheng Yaojin with words, but Cheng Yaojin, who was still proud just now, was so angry that his face turned dark immediately.

"Zi You, come here, my boy, I will have a good time with you today!" Cheng Yaojin rubbed his fists and looked at Li Wangyou, as if he was ready to vent his anger.

Naturally, Li Wangyou had been guarding against the old rascal's fury, and quickly dodged to hide behind Li Er, causing everyone to burst into laughter again.

After laughing and laughing, the little embarrassment between Li Wangyou and Li Er dissipated.

Li Wangyou invited everyone to sit on the terrace of the castle, and ordered them to bring barbecue and cold beer.Everyone ate and drank, and the wine was full, and Li Ercai talked about the military rations again...

995 so simple

"Ziyou, I personally tasted all the military rations you ordered. If they can be preserved for a long time as you said, the combat power of my Great Tang Iron Cavalry can still Increase by three points! I have recorded all these credits for you, and when the army of the Western Expedition returns in triumph, I will not hesitate to reward you!"

Li Er's words were indeed not exaggerating at all.

Whether soldiers can eat well will actually affect their combat effectiveness.

There are many examples in history of winning wars because of better food.

It's not that Li Er is reluctant to provide the army with better rations, but the limitations and transportation capabilities, as well as how to cook on the battlefield, have not improved for a long time.

In fact, since Li Wangyou accidentally discovered potatoes, a high-yield crop, and promoted it to the entire Tang Dynasty, food and food were no longer the main reason for restricting the Tang army's logistics.

Transport, storage, and how to cook it are all key.

And the production methods of these military rations that Li Wangyou came up with perfectly solved the logistics problem of the army.

For example, steamed rice mixed with corn, potatoes, and bacon can be easily stored for about a month if it is sealed in a clay pot and then vacuumed.

Luncheon meat is nothing more than mashing pork into a puree, then adding seasoning and starch, and steaming it in a pan.It is also quite convenient to eat when it is stored in vacuum.

Moreover, after tasting the taste of luncheon meat, Li Er and a group of state leaders were full of praise, thinking that it was a rare delicacy.

It was a huge surprise to the kings and ministers of the Tang Dynasty that military rations could be made so delicious and could be stored for a long time.

As for instant noodles, it is even simpler.

After the noodles are rolled out, they are steamed in a pan, and then deep-fried in an oil pan until they are thoroughly fried.

Although Li Wangyou couldn't come up with seasoning packs with various flavors of instant noodles in later generations, even the boiled noodles in clear water still made Li Er and all the princes enjoy eating them.

After tasting these military rations for the first time, Li Er and the princes couldn't even believe that it was so delicious that it was for the army to eat.

More importantly, the cost of making these military rations is not high.

Even the officials of Li Erming's Ministry of Civil Affairs calculated that because the new military rations are easier to transport and store, if the transportation loss of millet and livestock is included, after the army replaces the new military rations, the wasted food will be even more than the original consumption of millet. few.

With better food and less money, Li Er was naturally overjoyed, so he immediately rushed to Dingzhou Village and praised Li Wangyou.

Li Wangyou grumbled inwardly, in his opinion, no reward would be better than letting him go home to accompany his wife.

Of course, he also knew that what he said was meaningless, and now Li Er would definitely not let him go, so Li Wangyou just smiled at Li Er's words and didn't say anything.

Li Er picked up the beer glass, drank it happily, and glanced sideways at Li Wangyou: "Ziyou, are you blaming me?"

"My nephew dare not."

"Hmph, I know it even if you don't tell me. You bastard, you have no future at all, and you just hang around with a woman every day!" Li Er gave Li Wangyou an angry look, and continued: "Actually, I don't have any. To lie to you, it is actually not difficult for the army to reach Gaochang within three or four months."

What Li Er said made Li Wangyou stunned, and then he was ecstatic, and quickly asked: "Uncle, don't you lie to my little nephew. My little nephew asked Uncle Cheng that it is more than 2000 miles from Dunhuang County to Gaochang Kingdom. It will take at least two or three months for the army to rely on camel caravans to transport supplies.”

"Hehe, Ziyou, you are really stupid! Let me ask you, can't you use a four-wheeled carriage to transport? It can cover two hundred miles in a day, but in less than ten days, an army can cover two thousand miles. What's so difficult about that? "

Li Wangyou replied gruffly: "But...but the four-wheeled carriage cannot pass through the desert."

Li Er laughed more and more happily, but deliberately didn't answer, which whetted Li Wangyou's appetite.

Now Li Wangyou couldn't help being dumbfounded, and all the big bosses including Cheng Yaojin were also dumbfounded, not understanding what Li Er said immediately.

Yuchi Jingde and the others thought Cheng Yaojin's words were correct.

From Jingzhou to Dunhuang County, the army can rely on four-wheeled carriages to transport supplies, but after that, it can only be replaced by camel caravans. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this.

Why did Li Er still say so swearingly that Li Wangyou should continue to use a four-wheeled carriage to transport luggage?
