Northern Dynasties

Chapter 63
It was probably the first time for several Hui to carry out this kind of capital operation operation. The so-called people have a big addiction to food, and they dragged Li Tai to discuss this issue endlessly.

From the percentage of the payment received in advance, to the type of payment received, and even how to store it, several Hui expressed their opinions enthusiastically.

Among these issues, some really need to be paid attention to, while others are trivial details that do not need to be discussed at all, but he has thought about them thoroughly, and he hesitates to solve them because of too many thoughts.

At the beginning Li Tai even opened his mouth to echo a few words, but in the end the topic became more and more trivial, so he simply shut his mouth and just listened to Hui's monologue.

This guy may not really care about profit geometry, it is purely a brainstorming experience.If you really want to deal with all the problems he raised in a comprehensive and accurate manner, no matter how big the profit is, I'm afraid it won't be enough for the huge management costs.

Waiting until the subordinates of Daxingtai found here and urged him to go to the Xingfu for a meeting, Ji Huicai ended the discussion with some unfinished business, but agreed to come back tomorrow to continue.

After finally sending Ji Hui away, Li Tai turned around and saw that Nian Hua looked at him with strange eyes. Before he could explain a few words, Nian Hua pointed at the back of Ji Hui and Ma Xingyuan and said: "In the past As you can see, brother Huibao is mostly taciturn, but he never expected that when he talked with Li Lang, it would be like this..."

Not only Nian Hua was surprised, Li Tai also felt that it was scary for honest people to talk nonsense.He chatted with Shuohui as soon as he got up, and before he knew it, it was noon, and when he was free, he felt hungry.

The piece of compressed military ration brought by Ji Huihui was still on the table, so Li Tai didn't bother to prepare the meal, and asked someone to bring a bowl of boiling water, and then used a knife to cut the piece of ration cake into small pieces, Take it with boiling water.

Nian Hua leaned aside, looking curiously at the remaining half of the grain cakes and cake residues on the case, and asked in surprise, "These cake ingredients are the military rations that Brother Huibao and Li Lang talked about homework? Look at it this way." , I really can't see anything strange."

"It's just a convenient food to satisfy your hunger. It's not a rare delicacy. If Chang Shi is interested, you might as well try it."

Li Tai said with a smile while blowing on the hot air and drinking the hot porridge.

When Nianhua saw this, he didn't refuse, imitating Li Tai's appearance, with a knife in his hand, he wanted to chop the cake, but the cake was small in size, and he was a little embarrassed when he chopped it on the table a few times.

Seeing this, Li Tai ordered someone to fetch a small stone mortar, put the cake in it and pounded it with a wooden pestle, and then pushed the powder in the mortar to Nian Hua.

"Thank you, Li Lang."

Nianhua was not as polite as a warrior from Beizhen, he thanked him first, then poured the powder into a pottery bowl and poured it into boiling water.The powder swelled up quickly after being wetted with water, and after stirring it, it became a bowl of rather thick hot porridge in an instant.

Nian Hua took a couple of sips, tasted it a bit, then lost interest, and just said politely: "It's quite flavorful."

After Li Tai saw this, he didn't take it seriously, and he also knew a little about Nian Hua's resume in the previous conversation.

He was born on the eve of the Mutiny in the Six Towns, and although he wandered with his father in childhood, his life had settled down when he was Xiaoshi's age.

Different from other Beizhen children, Nianhua was a noble son in Luoyang for several years when he was a teenager. He didn't come to Guanzhong with his father until Emperor Xiaowu moved westward. His speech and behavior habits are somewhat different from other Beizhen children.Although he was born in the general family, he is a bit unfamiliar with the military personnel.

Shi Liu, who is truly proficient in military affairs, can naturally understand the value of this kind of military rations to the army's supplies.

In the Daxingtai Xingfu in Fangcheng, Liyang, after a day's meeting, he felt a little unhappy when he saw that there was only a bowl of porridge and half a sheet of dry biscuits on the table.

The national economy is not rich, and although he is used to being frugal in his daily diet, it is not impossible to lose even a little bit of oil.

The waiter standing by looked at his face and saw that the Daxingtai was sitting still for a while, so he felt a little flustered, and was about to step back and order to prepare a different meal, when a general in military robes strode in outside the door.

"Uncle hasn't eaten yet? I specially ordered the food served by the staff, and I am waiting for Uncle to try it!"

The general who walked into the hall was Yu Wendao. Seeing the untouched food in front of Yu Wentai's case, he stepped forward and said with a smile.

"I don't know who is so thin on me, Bodhisattva, you are busy with military affairs, why are you disturbing my diet!"

Yu Wentai glanced at the food on the table with some disgust, and immediately complained about Yu Wendao.

Although they are uncles and nephews, Yu Wendao is only a few years younger than Yu Wentai, and they get along very casually, as if they have more brothers than nephews.

Hearing Yu Wentai's complaints, Director Yu Wen laughed again: "The big reading is coming soon, which thing is more important than serving food? Since I specially arrange staff to serve food, I have my reasons. Uncle, taste it first."

After hearing the words, Yu Wentai picked up the pottery bowl and sipped a few mouthfuls, his expression didn't change. He grabbed the rough dry biscuit like a brick but didn't bite it. Now, what do you think is the reasoning? Are you making fun of me for being a hard cake that breaks people's teeth?"

Director Yu Wen raised his hand to take the piece of dry biscuit, carefully placed it on the table, then looked up at Yu Wentai and said, "In terms of taste alone, it's really not very strange. What does Uncle think about all the food?"

Hearing this, Yu Wentai's face changed immediately, he picked up the porridge and tasted it carefully, even picked up the chopsticks to stir up the porridge to observe carefully, and then raised his head and asked after a while: "Which general is so promiscuous? The materials are made of flax, fine flour, mutton oil and ginger? Does he want to be favored by things and take credit for envy? If he thinks that he can earn my position with this evil plan, I will give him no matter how rich his family is He arranges missions!"

It's no wonder that Yu Wentai was so angry. The porridge is not very delicious in terms of taste, but if it is used as military rations, it seems a bit extravagant.

A big defeat at Mangshan wiped out the accumulation of the Western Wei Dynasty for several years. In the past six months, Yu Wentai was scratching his head from worrying about military and political affairs.This year's big parade is to revive morale and replenish military strength.

Now the imperial court and Daxingtai have tightened their spending to overcome the difficulties together, and the rations of all the troops who come to participate in the grand parade are also shabby.

If someone, for the sake of sensationalism, specially provided the soldiers with such a refined diet, the rest of the army would see it, and they would inevitably feel angry.From Yuwentai's point of view, nature is an unfavorable factor that destroys harmony.

"At first, I thought the same as Uncle Uncle, but after understanding what happened, I felt that I should recommend this person to Uncle Uncle!"

Dao Yuwen was not surprised when his uncle got angry, but continued, "Before I tell you, let me teach Uncle how to make this soup."

While speaking, he first ordered the waiter to get a pounding and pestle tool, and when the tool was delivered, he smashed the dry biscuits and mixed them with water.

"Stop for a second, and bring that leftover cake!"

Yu Wentai stopped when he saw this, took the piece of dry biscuit that he abandoned like a shoe, moved his eyes back and forth between the dry biscuit and soup, and said in disbelief: "This bowl of soup is also this bowl of soup. made like this?"

Seeing this, Director Yuwen simply brought the bowl of soup he had just prepared to Yuwentai's case.

After carefully sharing the two bowls of soup, Yu Wentai looked at the unremarkable dry biscuit again, and sighed after a while: "It's exquisite, but it's still too extravagant."

Director Yu Wen didn't give much explanation, and directly asked someone to offer a whole piece of grain cake, knocked the dry and hard round cake and said: "This piece of cake weighs two kilograms, enough to feed twenty or thirty people for a meal. .”

Hearing this, Yu Wentai was finally moved. He held up the cake, weighed it again and again, looked at it again, and then brought his mouth up and took two bites, but it was only sore that his teeth were sore, leaving a row of teeth marks on the surface. .

"Good, good food! It's dry and hard, and it's easy to transport and store. If you use it as an army, why can't you travel far!"

Yu Wentai couldn't help laughing at last, and caressed the grain cake with both hands, as if he was admiring a piece of crystal-clear and flawless jade: "Who is the name of the governor? Invite him to see him quickly! He enthusiastically donates such good food, How could I begrudge him a honorable title!"

Director Yu Wen just smiled and didn't comment on his uncle's completely different face. He just said: "The governor's name is Zhou Changming, and he was a township garrison who was rewarded for donating fuel. I was an official in the government before, and I summoned him to meet him." He saw that his veterans were simple and well-versed in operations, so he was specially appointed commander-in-chief to control the Wuxiang County and Township regiment with him."

After Yu Wentai saw this, he wanted to summon him again, but Director Yu Wen continued: "As for the food, it was not made by Zhou Changming. I inquired about it. Zhou Changming came to Chen because the Di tribe moved inward and the food in the county was insufficient. I had no choice but to ask for help from the village, and I got this batch of military rations that was greatly different from the previous ones thanks to the support of the righteous men in the village. But the righteous men who donated were not in the camp."

Yu Wentai was a little disappointed when he heard this, and the waiter brought a pen and paper to record the matter, then handed the note to the waiter and said: "Put this in the upper frame, after reading it Do it again."

He was in charge of the military and government affairs inside and outside, and he had to deal with a lot of affairs every day. His energy was really limited, so he developed the habit of taking notes casually, and recorded the things that he thought were more important but could not be dealt with immediately, so as to avoid forgetting.

After the matter was recorded, Yu Wentai praised Director Yu Wen for his dexterity, and then picked up the bowl of warm soup that had been placed and swallowed it.

After this bowl of thick porridge entered his stomach, he felt that he was half full, and he couldn't help being amazed. Looking at the seemingly ordinary grain cake, he admired it even more.

"Gentlemen are not different, and they are good at things! Split this cake and divide it evenly, and give it to the princes and Kaifu, so that they can also try clever things!"

Yu Wentai said with emotion: "There are many people complaining about their problems in the government and the public, but if everyone has such ingenuity in matters and things, instead of just asking and complaining, how can the business not be prosperous? It is really a shame for the minister to be afraid of difficulties before the situation. Tolerance. I have to rescue all the troubles, so why raise so many mediocre people!"

　New week, new month, please recommend tickets for next month, thank you for your support! ! !I wish the soldiers of the PLA a happy holiday!
