Wanli 1592

Chapter 1116 See off, leave, end
On the first day of the first month of the second year of Longwu, after spending a New Year's Eve and letting the army eat a good meal, the army set off.

Qi Dayong led an army of [-] to Luomeng Pass.

Along the way, An Jiangchen and Song Chengen showed Qi Dayong the roads, which roads were easier to follow, and which roads were easy to pass. They did their best.

Moreover, as they said, they really afforded one-third of the marching rations of the army. Note that it was one-third of the marching rations of the Qin army's 3 people, and they still provided their own food, so they didn't eat it. Qin army rations.

Qi Dayong found it very funny, and deeply felt the two people's strong desire to survive.

But should I say it or not, this desire to survive is just right, and it is very good to prepare your own military rations.

And when they learned that the Qin army was not allowed to privately plunder the spoils during the war, and everything captured was returned to the public, and then distributed after the war according to the amount of credit, they also offered to follow the rules of the Qin army, and they would never go beyond it.

This performance was so good that Qi Dayong felt a little surprised and a little embarrassed, so he took the initiative to invite them to have dinner with him.

At noon of the day before the army arrived at Luomeng Pass, Qi Dayong held a banquet in his tent for An Jiangchen and Song Chengen. The two expressed their gratitude sincerely and brought their most trusted people to the banquet.

Because it is in the army, the dishes are very simple and extensive, big fish and big meat, wild stir-fry and stew, full of taste, just like the cooking level of Guanglu Temple in Ming Dynasty, it is a bit heavy, but it is very suitable for people who march and fight eat.

Xiao Ruxun stipulated that before encountering a big war, the soldiers must be fed with dry rice, and on the march, they should eat meat at least once every five days, and they should be fed at ordinary times, and the oil rations for the army have never been in short supply.

When marching in a hurry, they were given oil cakes made in North Korea as rations.

Qin Jun's food is much better than that of the previous Ming Dynasty, because there are more corn and potatoes, and he is not afraid of not being full.

And because Xiao Ruxun instructed local officials to promote peanut planting in suitable areas for oil extraction before and after the founding of the Qin Dynasty, peanuts are now also planted on a large scale in the Jiangnan area, and there are more oil crops that people can eat.

Although there are more peanuts for oil extraction, there are not many peanuts planted. The oil extraction technology is not perfect, and the oil yield is not that high. Now peanuts are regarded as military supplies, and Xiao Ruxun mainly purchases from the hands of the people. The oil was extracted and supplied to the army, and a very small part was transported back to the capital for self-satisfaction.

He has been thinking about fried peanuts for more than ten years.

And the army can also eat delicious peanut oil.

On the march this time, Xiao Ruxun allocated a large amount of potatoes that were easy to store to match rice grains from the granary in the southeast. Potatoes can be eaten as food when needed, and they can also be eaten as food when the food is abundant.

A large amount of peanut oil has also been deployed to carry with the army, so that the fireheads can replenish the army with more oil and water, but the use of oil and water needs to be reported to the army commander in advance, and the commander needs to keep track of the amount of oil and water, because the most expensive thing in the army right now is these precious oils .

Qi Dayong likes to eat hot and sour potato shreds very much. When he was in the army, he got hungry, so he asked Huotou to make a meal to satisfy his hunger. This was what he ate when Xiao Ruxun invited him to dinner when he was reporting on his duties in the capital. Xiao Ruxun asked for the production method, and after returning to the army, he asked Huotou to learn and make it for him.

This time entertaining An Jiangchen and Song Chengen, Qi Dayong also extravagantly approved the use of oil for cooking, hot and sour potato shreds, fried bacon, roasted a few chickens, and then white rice, very bold and unrestrained hospitality banquet.

"During the march, His Majesty stipulated that the army should not drink alcohol. Otherwise, even the generals will be severely punished according to the military law. I dare not drink, and it is not convenient for you two to drink. Then replace the wine with tea, and treat it as a banquet."

In Qi Dayong's handsome tent, An Jiangchen and Song Chengen thanked Qi Dayong together, and gave Qi Dayong a glass in return, expressing their gratitude for his invitation.

People in the army don't talk that much, so please be polite and let's eat.

Qi Dayong eats boldly, or Qin Jun eats boldly. He pays attention to fighting hard and fighting with all his strength to train and eat with an open stomach.

As a general, Qi Dayong must set an example for the whole army, and he must train with the army to play a leading role. Including all officers, recruits must not be allowed to think that being an officer can be lazy. They must train no less than ordinary soldiers.

Therefore, Qi Dayong's appetite is particularly large.

An Jiangchen and Song Chengen, as descendants of the Tusi family, received an elite education and lived a life of rich food and clothing. Although they practiced martial arts because of family factors, they could not be compared with those from the army. A person like a nobleman who grew up reading the Four Books and Five Classics.

Seeing Qi Dayong throwing off his arms and eating and drinking, both of them were shocked.

Looking at the very unrestrained dishes in front of him, it was too far from the delicacies prepared by famous chefs that I ate in the past.

But the other party is an important general of Daqin, and he can meet the emperor of Daqin. It is very important to have a good relationship with him. Let alone this is a normal meal, even if it is rotten, they have to hold their noses and eat it. It is best Nothing left.

However, these dishes look a bit scary, but they are surprisingly good when they are eaten, especially the plate of yellow strips, which is delicious when eaten, and the hot and sour taste made them feel delicious in an instant. desire to eat.

However, their appetite cannot be compared with that of Qi Dayong, who is as strong as a big buffalo, and they can't eat for a long time, and Qi Dayong is still eating meat over there, making the corners of An Jiangchen and Song Chengen's eyes twitch.

After finally waiting for him to be full, the bowl of rice was eaten up, and several large dishes were eaten up, leaving only a little soup, before he patted his stomach in satisfaction and took a sip of tea.

"Haha, you two are laughing at me. Our army consumes a lot and eats a lot. It's a bit indecent to be popular. Don't blame you two."

The words spoken are completely different from the appearance of eating.

The two secretly slandered.

But he didn't dare to say it, he only said things like "the general is bold and unrestrained, I admire you" and other words that are more elegant than the literati of the Han family.

Afterwards, An Jiangchen and Song Chengen thought that there would be some other programs such as singing and dancing, but then they thought about it, the military regulations of the Qin army were so strict, how could women be allowed in the army?

What show would that be?

In their expectant eyes, Qi Dayong came to them and sent them to the door of the tent, the banquet ended.

Treating guests to dinner is to treat guests to dinner, a simple meal, this is the rule in the army, otherwise what else do you want?
Qi Dayong said that coming and going in our army is so straightforward, nothing else is mixed in, you think too much.

See off, leave, end.
