Chapter 89, Fine Salt
"Someone doesn't want to. Someone never kill the villagers who farm, because someone is the mud legs of farming. Someone likes to listen to the sound of the crops mature and watch the crops grow up day by day. Someone feels very happy. Someone followed the yellow scarf thief to fight the world with a large amount of food, but someone has never thought of killing these unarmed people. Folks!"
Mangzi burst into tears. Although he was single-minded, he was extremely sympathetic to these killed farmers.
Zu Zhao nodded gently. Mangzi has a simple mind and clear eyes. He is the kind of teenager who comes from the countryside but has few scheming. This is why Sima Ju has always been very reassured about Mangzi.
The reason why Mangzi followed Sima Ju is that Sima Ju gave him a promise, that is, to give him a leg of mutton every day, look at his height two meters away, and carry a three-meter-long knife diagonally. This is the material of a peerless fierce general, but he has never heard of it in history.
"Then are you willing to follow me to fight the world? My ancestors fight the world differently from others. I will let my people under my rule eat and let my brothers have a meal. I will take you not to fight, but I will give you a few acres of land and marry a wife in the future. I will never have to fight with me again, but live a good life. , wife and children are hot!" Zu Zhao spoke lightly. The reason why he said so was that Mangzi himself was a farmer and said the truth too deeply that he didn't understand.
"I will follow you to fight the world. Will you build me a house, give me a few acres of land, and marry a daughter-in-law for me in the future?" Mangzi couldn't help asking, it seems that a few acres of land are very ordinary, and how much money can you have to build a house in the countryside?
Zu Zhao couldn't help but be speechless. Originally, he said that he would not use a few acres of land and a few pieces of money to buy the future of a peerless general, which was blasphemy for the reckless. A peerless fierce general in the era of the Three Kingdoms, which was priceless. As the saying goes, it is easy to get a general, which is the truth.
But Mangzi is very energetic, as if he has a house with a few acres of land and a daughter-in-law.
Looking at Mangzi's eager eyes, Zu Zhao finally nodded and promised to settle down for Mangzi in the future and let him farm according to his life, and there would be no more wars in the future.
"As long as my Zu Zhao is alive, I will fulfill my promise. With a bowl of dry rice of my Zu Zhao, there will be a bowl of your recklessness. Don't worry, recklessness will follow me in the future. I won't let you suffer any losses! You are the material of a peerless general, and you should have a better battlefield!"
Mangzi nodded heavily and saluted Zu Zhao. From then on, he followed Zu Zhao.
"Real masters are all from the people!" Zu Zhao couldn't help sighing that Liu Bei dug up Zhang Yide and Guan Yu from the market, and he also dug up a fierce general like Mangzi in the countryside. He saw Mangzi's knife flash by, and a war horse was split into two halves. With a flash of a three-meter-long knife, the ten people around him were directly divided into two sections.
This combat power is a great threat in the era of cold weapons, and Mangzi's movement speed is so fast that ordinary archers can hardly locate him.
If it hadn't been for the melon grenade he studied, there would have been almost no chance of failure.
Killed Sima Ju and buried the villagers who died tragically, and then Zu Zhao took people back to Jizhou City.
As soon as he returned to Jizhou City, he was pulled away by Cao Cao. Cao Mengde seemed to be thinking about Zu Zhao all the time. Although Zu Zhao dug out his corner and dug away Hua Tuo, which he valued, he thought that the fairy tea given to him by Zu Zhao could make up for this loss, and he still kept the fairy and miracle in his heart. This kind of thing is more important, and even the so-called magic doctor like Hua Tuo can't be compared.
In the big tent, the generals in the big tent all smiled. Because the rewards of the imperial court came down, since Huangpu Song robbed the grain and fodder of Huangyuan County, it has made the yellow scarf thieves in Jizhou more and more difficult, and since Zu Zhao's arrival, the successive battles have been a one-sided victory. In the atmosphere of bad-mouthing atmosphere across the country, The performance of Jizhou soldiers is remarkable. Therefore, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty directly rewarded the prize.
When Zu Zhao entered the tent, he also felt a different atmosphere. In the past, he was silent and even indifferent when he entered the tent, because Jizhou soldiers came up to exclude foreigners. For example, Wen Chou has now been excluded to the extent that he can't enter the big tent. He is on duty outside, but these generals are one Talking with a smile on his face. But at this moment, many generals scrambled to stand up and greet Zu Zhao, for no other reason, because in the battle of Huangyuan County, after Zu Zhao led his men and horses to break them, this was a deadly friendship in the army. From then on, they peed into a brother in a pot. Without Zu Zhao's response, these generals would be good at this moment. There is more no place to die.
Both Cao Cao, Lu Zhi and Huangpu Song admire Zu Zhao, which is almost impossible in the army.
"Today, Jizhou is a great victory, and the reward of the imperial court has also come down. The only reward has been excused by the teacher. There is no other reason, because the teacher still hopes that you can stay in Jizhou now. As for the merit, as long as the teacher is there and General Huangpu Song, he will not lose your credit!"
Lu Zhi said seriously, which was already patting his chest to assure Zu Zhao a bright future. Even Huangpu Song next to him also said that after the war in Jizhou, he would let him go back. As long as he was willing to stay in the Jizhou army, Zu Zhao's future would definitely be a bright future. Zu Zhao agreed with a smile that he didn't want to stay on the side of the Jizhou Army now, but to gain more military achievements and connections.
Naturally, several cases were arranged in the big account to let everyone sit down. Lu Zhi said in embarrassment, "Although we have more than 100,000 catties of grain in Jizhou, it is still a little small to be sent to the people in the city. If only this grain could be doubled!"
Huangpu Song also nodded. There will never be too much food. In the past, he could drink a bowl of sticky rice to support his stomach, but now it is not better to eat dry rice.
More than 100,000 catties of food have just been able to make the people of Jizhou City starve to death.
But now this kind of starvation is also a great achievement. Don't you see how many starvation there are in many fields?
Zu Zhao is also thinking about how to make half more grain out of thin air.
Suddenly, he patted his thigh and said with a smile, "Someone knows that there is a way to double the grain out of thin air!" Please be a teacher and the general to bear witness!"
"What?"
Everyone was very shocked. They knew that Zu Zhao was powerful, but Zu Zhao said it and let half of the grain come out of thin air, which really made them unbelievable.
"Is this the method left by the fairy master? Can it spread all sentient beings? Let all sentient beings not suffer from hunger and cold? Lu Zhi has felt that his lips are trembling. If there is really this method, it is a great achievement that can be passed on to all generations and spread to all generations. Maybe people will not remember that there is a person called Emperor Xian of Han, but they can remember that there is a person who invented this method.
For a while, the generals also felt eager to breathe. They all wanted to know if there was really such a way?
Zu Zhao looked at everyone's reaction and knew that it was useless to say more. Now he has to try it.
"Come on, when you come to spring at night, just say that Zu Zhao borrowed a few of their cooks and asked them to send the best cooks, telling them that what they want to do this time is very important! And bring wine, grinding, and grain!"
Zu Zhao is full of confidence, because in this era, he has not invented to cook with noodles. He eats four-sided steamed buns and four-sided rice balls.
And the soft and delicious old steamed buns have really never appeared.
Wan Side heard that Zu Zhao wanted people and brought them in person. He was worried that Zu Zhao would pass on some peerless immortality, and he could also see it as a way to pass on to the family in the future.
The people in the whole tent were looking forward to it. Originally, it was a celebration banquet, but it was disturbed by Zu Zhao, and everyone was not interested in drinking. Instead, they stretched out their necks for a long time to witness the moment of history.
Zu Zhao's guidance is very simple, which is to teach them to grind wheat into powder, then pour the wine song into the flour and noodles, and finally let the steamed bread added to the wine song be fermented, and then steamed in a large pot.
Under the supervision of everyone, the steamed buns added to the fermented wine are extremely large. In order to take care of the generals in the tent, Zu Zhao specially asked the cook to make more steamed buns.
When the steamed buns were opened, the generals in the tent were surprised to find that the steamed buns had become bigger! It has directly become three or four times the original size!
Zu Zhao took out two old steamed buns and gave them to Lu Zhi and Huangpu Song with a smile, so that they could taste the taste of these steamed buns. It's soft and delicious, but even I, who has a stomach disease, feel that this food is particularly delicious! And it's a good way to support your stomach!"
Zu Zhao smiled. Dead-faced steamed buns are not easy to digest and absorb, while old-fashioned steamed buns can double the volume of wheat, millet and other grains, and double the use time of grain.
"This method cannot be passed on! Those who violate the order will be killed! Did you hear that?" Huangpu Song stood up directly, split his sword in the air, and announced loudly.
then positioned the matter of old-fashioned steamed buns as a first-class military secret.
This made Zu Zhao feel quite speechless. He just forgot about it. He was dealing with a group of three country turtles. The method he said was to be a fairy.
"Cough! With the teacher, the students also have a way to teach and tell the generals!"
Z Zhao then pointed to the "pot" in the tent, saying that it was a pot, but it was more like a clay pot. In this era, there is really no such thing as an iron pot. The most important thing is that there is no steamer, so that the marching and cooking is digging stoves in the ground, which is very cumbersome, and there is a matter of Pang Juan counting other people's stoves to count the number of soldiers on the other party.
What Zu Zhao needs to do now is a steamer. The steamer is very simple. A few bamboo poles can be bent to form a steamer. A stove can make a lot of steamed buns, saving time and giving the march more mobility.
When the steamer was made, Lu Zhi praised it. It was really a fantastic idea.
Huangpu Song also immediately listed it as a first-class military secret, strictly blocked it, and waved the sword in his hand a few times. Zu Zhao was originally thinking about a few ways to accelerate the march, but when he saw Huangpu Song like this, he was worried that it would make the famous generals in front of him directly have a brain hemorrhage or heart disease. Sudden death, etc.
Get one person a steamed bun in the big tent*. The food is delicious, and the thief's eyebrows and rat eyes one by one is very cheap to the bone, which is already hopeless.
"Generals, I suggest tearing the steamed bread and stuffing it into the chicken leg. I told it to gnaw it quickly and eat it while marching. It tastes very delicious!"
After saying that, he tore open a steamed bun and put in a piece of fried crispy chicken leg. It felt like eating KFC in the past life.
Several generals also tore open the steamed buns and put the chicken legs in. Cao Cao put some salt without a teacher, which immediately made Zu Zhao admire him. In order to make this guy different, he also learned from Cao and sprinkled a thin layer of salt in the steamed bread. Everyone praised Cao Cao for his extraordinary understanding. Sex.
