The ancient farming life of liberal arts scum

Big and fat fish were poured out, and some of them had breath.

Water tanks, bathtubs, wooden basins, wooden barrels, all containers that can hold water are donated to hold fish.

The gang leader was counting the buckets and basins, and suddenly roared, "Which bastard brought the urine bucket here?! No urine bucket! No shoes! Big shoes are not allowed! Who the hell wants to eat fish with stinky feet? ?!"

The sergeant who was yelled at was blushing, and he didn't know what to think. Seeing someone copying the guy, he excitedly lifted his pair of big boots, and it turned out to be a big joke.

The onlookers burst into laughter, and the sergeant with the shoes covered his face with his hands and ran back again.

A group of people stood beside the water tank and enthusiastically disemboweled the fish, removed the scales and cut off the tail. The white fish meat was removed by a knife and piled into the cleaned wooden basins. There were several basins piled up in large basins.Shredded ginger, garlic, chili, garlic sprouts, shiitake mushrooms, fungus... all kinds of condiments are also piled up.

People at that time loved to eat stewed fish. Fresh fish was deboned and cut into translucent snow-white thin slices, served with dipping sauce and shredded vegetables, and eaten directly. Chen Ge ate it twice, and the taste was excellent.But this time the fish came from the mountain pond, Shen Ge was afraid of parasites, so he ordered that there should be no raw fish at night, and all fish must be cooked.

"How do you cook dinner?" Shen Ge asked the head chef.

"Steamed fish, fried fish, a pot of small green vegetables, and a pot of scrambled eggs." The chef gave the recipe, "Rice is enough."

Shen Ge pondered for a while and changed the recipe, "Fried fish is too troublesome, so boil it instead."

"What is boiled fish? Boiled fish in clear water?" The head chef gestured with a puzzled face.

"No." Shen Ge looked at the condiments, "Bring sugar and soy sauce, and some tempeh."

Insufficient materials, it is impossible to make authentic boiled fish like the previous life, but it can be simplified a bit, with enough ingredients, the taste should be good.

Chen Ge ordered the fish to be sliced ​​thinner and placed in a wooden basin, poured salt, wine, egg white, soy sauce, chili powder and five-spice powder into it, and put it aside to marinate quietly.

There are no bean sprouts in the camp, but some green vegetables have been grown, and the tender green vegetable seedlings are fluttering in the wind, and it is suitable to pull them out and eat them at this time.There are also shiitake mushrooms and fungus bought earlier in the camp. They are all new products just bought this year, and they are full of flavor.

Chen Ge boiled all the side dishes in water, and then put them in a large clean earthen basin.

Next, Shen Ge set fire to the oil pan, heated the pan with cold oil, fermented soybeans, fresh chili, ginger garlic, dried chili, fresh garlic sprouts, etc. were added to the pan and stir-fried, then added salt, sugar, soy sauce and bean paste.There was still some chicken soup left in the morning, so Chen Ge added a large pot of chicken soup to it. After the bright red soup boiled, he added the marinated fish fillets, spread them with chopsticks, and waited for the soup to boil again. Get it up and put it on top of the previously boiled vegetables.

Billowing hot air came up instantly, carrying a strong fragrance.

Finally, heat the oil. Put a tablespoon of oil into a clean iron pan, add peppers and garlic in turn, and then add green onion and green garlic sprouts after the oil is hot. Then scoop out the oil with a large iron spoon and pour it on the basin with a clatter. Inside, when the hot oil with a strong aroma comes into contact with the fish fillets, it makes a sizzling sound.

The fragrance seems to have a sound, splashing in all directions.The people around were not hungry at first, but when they smelled this fragrance, their stomachs could not help but growl.

Shen Ge wiped the sweat from his forehead, "According to this method, the cooked fish can be called boiled fish, and any other ingredients can be boiled and put into it as the base material."

The leader of the gang should be, and asked with a smile: "Second Master, are we going to eat this at night?"

"Well, let the soldiers taste the fresh fish." Shen Ge demonstrated, and told Dong Xiaowu to bring the boiled fish back, and cooked two or three small dishes by himself, warming the wine, and sending them to the dining room together.

When Shen Ge arrived, Shao Xin and Bai Liyi had already been invited, and Xun Feiguang was sitting in the upper seat, pouring wine for them.

"Chen Geer, come quickly." Shao Xin greeted with a smile.

Shen Ge brought up the dishes in his hands. He had previously made a few large pots of jerky with the meat of bison. The jerky was fragrant, spicy, and extremely chewy. Usually, he would burst into tears when he stuttered, but it was wonderful with wine.

Bai Liyi gave up his seat, asked Shen Ge to sit next to Xun Feiguang, and said with a smile: "The last few pots of Daodan wine from the north, I borrow flowers to present to Buddha, so I won't return tonight if I don't get drunk."

"It's hard to get together, let's have a few more drinks." Shen Ge smiled, "Thanks to you and brother Shao all these years."

Shao Xin quickly waved his hands when he heard the words, "It should be, it should be."

Xun Feiguang raised his wine glass and clinked a glass with the two old subordinates, without saying anything.

Shao Xin took a mouthful of boiled fish and tasted wine, his eyes lit up as soon as he ate the dish, the fish was fresh, fragrant and smooth, but it didn't have any bones at all, it was extremely delicious.

"Shen Ge'er, where did you know so many fresh dishes? It's so delicious!"

Shen Ge glanced at Xun Feiguang, who happened to be looking at him too.

Facing Xun Feiguang's puzzled gaze, Shen Ge couldn't help but smile. If Xun Feiguang didn't lose his memory now, he would know that his dishes came from the memory of his previous life, but unfortunately he doesn't remember anything now.

Bai Liyi tasted it and praised, "Second Master, you have to write down the recipe later, I will ask the restaurant under my hand to make more of this dish."

"Sure, no problem." Shen Ge agreed straight away, pointing at the basin with chopsticks and said, "Actually, bean sprouts are the best base material, but unfortunately, I've been busy these days and forgot to ask the people in the kitchen to send some bean sprouts. Apart from boiled fish, Boiled beef is also delicious, let's try it next time."

The property that Bai Liyi manages is Xun Feiguang's property, Shen Ge married him, these properties are naturally the property of the family, of course Shen Ge must do his best.

Chen Ge and the others ate it, and the soldiers in the kitchen were still cooking it in pots. Big pots of boiled fish were brought to each camp, and the aroma wafted throughout the camp.

The soldiers, who were not very hungry at first, now had their stomachs growling, and one or two unconsciously quickened their pace when they returned to the camp.

The old farmers who came to plow the fields outside followed their work and were about to drive their cattle home when they suddenly smelled this scent and became hungry.

"I don't know what these soldiers are cooking, why is it so delicious?"

"Meat, what else is there besides meat? I saw a lot of soldiers carrying fish back today, and I guess they are cooking fish right now."

"Hey, don't tell me, the old soldiers also cooked here before, and they didn't see Xiang Cheng like this. In my opinion, there are so many soldiers who come and go, and they cook with clear soup and little water. This is the time." Your general is the most generous, giving his subordinates meat every now and then."

The talking farmer stretched his neck and looked into the barracks enviously. His family was doing well, and he didn't eat meat like this. He had to wait until the New Year's Eve.

"That's right, the general who came this time is the Duke from the capital!" The old farmer gave a thumbs up and boasted, "Duke, do you know? Even in the capital, he is under one man and above ten thousand people." Big shot!"

"Hey, you've been asking for that all along?"

"Master Bing who worked with me said so."

"I don't know if they are still recruiting people. I will recognize this food even if my family is registered as a military household." The young farmer sucked in his saliva, feeling a little moved in his heart, "I heard that the monthly salary of the most common soldier is more than one or two. , We are exhausted, and we may not be able to earn half of it a year."

"If they recruit people, who wouldn't want to go?" The older farmer next to him poured cold water on him, "Did you see those soldiers, all of them are eight feet long and amazing in strength. Most people don't want to go if they want to go."

The young farmer became more and more excited, and looked at the camp where people came and went, "Although I can't make it, my elder brother can. I will ask tomorrow."

There was no fighting at this time, and after the centurions asked for instructions, the soldiers who did not need to guard the camp brought out wine to drink.

In the army, you are not allowed to drink too much, and each person can drink at most three bowls. These are all village wines, and the taste of alcohol is not very strong.

The atmosphere was up, and sitting around the bonfire, some soldiers sighed with emotion: "The master and the second master are so kind to us, even if I lose my life here, I am willing."

Not only were they treated very well when they were alive, but even if they lost their lives unfortunately, the pension would be 100 taels.The old lady in the family gets this money, and she never has to worry about no one to take care of her.

The soldiers have no worries, so everyone is desperate when they fight, and they never steal or play tricks.

The old soldier next to him laughed and scolded, "Don't say such despondent words. I have been traveling for so many years. Which general is better than the master? I must cherish this life and stay here to fight more barbarians and foreigners."

"Speaking of Yang Yi, we have been here for a long time, and the scout brothers have sent so many, but we have not seen any movement from them."

"What's so surprising about this, I guess I was scared out of my wits when I heard the master is here."

"If you want me to say, it's good if Yangyi dare to come. The second master said earlier that we also want to build a big ship. In the future, we will send people to sea to do business and earn more money. If Yangyi comes, we will just leave their boat come down."

"There is also the fire system above. I don't know how those Yangyi made the fire system gunpowder. It is easier to use than ours."

"What is this? I also heard from the second master that there are many grains outside that I have never seen before. If we can get seeds, one mu of land can harvest more than a dozen stone grains. Then our life will be easier."

The soldiers imagined the future around Yangyi one by one, and almost none of them doubted whether the words Shen Ge said were true.

Even if some people find it unimaginable, some people will quickly speak up for Shen Ge, "Our second master is the number one scholar, the youngest number one scholar in Dayan's reign for decades! How can such a learned person lie to you?"

Shen Ge didn't know what the people said. After the boiled fish was well received this time, he called someone the next day to get mushrooms.

These days, no one grows shiitake mushrooms. All shiitake mushrooms grow naturally in the woods. Farmers sometimes go to the mountains and happen to see them, and they will pick them back to dry. If they don’t see them, they have no choice but to give up.

In addition to shiitake mushrooms, there are many other mushrooms on the mountain, which are available in the other three seasons except winter, which does not grow very much.People in the mountains have no shortage of mushrooms to eat, and they have never thought about growing them.

Shen Ge read relevant information when reading miscellaneous books in his previous life, and the most important things for growing mushrooms are nothing more than a few - mycelia, sawdust, water, sugar, and temperature.

There are more than 3000 people in the camp, and there is no place to buy shiitake mushrooms if they want to eat them. If they can grow them, things will be much simpler.If you really can't finish it, you can still dry it and sell it. Today's dry goods are not cheap.

Anyway, everything is lacking now, the most important thing is manpower, Shen Ge asked Shaoxin to find a few clever soldiers, and specially told them about growing mushrooms.

"Get some sawdust first, I don't know where I can get the mushroom seeds and other things, you go to the mountains to find old farmers, dig out some soil from the place where the mushrooms grew, mix it with the sawdust, and put it in a basket. Then water daily to keep the sawdust moist, and remember to put some sugar in the water.”

"I can't remember exactly how much sugar to put in. Put less sugar first, put a spoonful of sugar in a bucket of water. In addition, put the baskets inside the house, try not to see the light, and put warm water in the house to make the house warmer."

Shen Ge explained and encouraged them to try, "Multify several times, it doesn't matter if you can't grow it for a while."

Several soldiers agreed in unison, and turned to find something to grow mushrooms.

Shen Ge also asked someone to grow bean sprouts. It is easier to grow bean sprouts, and many people can do it. He doesn't need to teach him this, as long as he gives enough materials.I don't know how long it will take before we can eat shiitake mushrooms and bean sprouts in the camp.
