Steel Tycoon in the Late Ming Dynasty 333, Northern Expedition Three in the Blizzard
Cheng Lin and Cheng Hu are two brothers. They were both slaves of Yang Fan's family. One is nineteen years old this year, and the other is only seventeen. They joined the cavalry army six months ago.
Now the leader of their group is a Mongolian, the other two captains are Han Chinese, and most of the soldiers are Mongolian.
However, Mongolians and Han people get along very harmoniously here. Everyone is used to mixed ethnic groups. In Duolun City, Mongolians and Han people live together in various communities. There are also Huihui and other ethnic groups.
Here the Han people farm, grow vegetables, weave cloth, make clothes and various handicraft products. The Mongols herd and hunt. The existence of both sides has enriched the lives of the other, and gradually no one can live without the other. The Han people have learned
Mongolian, Mongolians learned Chinese.
Communication is no longer a problem. Many people of different nationalities have become neighbors and friends. They have even begun to intermarry. Many people of different nationalities have become relatives.
Although the Cheng brothers came from Zunhua, they did not feel any estrangement or discomfort in the cavalry team. It was just like in the original army.
We walked all day today. At noon, Cheng Lin was a little hungry and wanted to drink some water and eat some fried noodles.
He took out the kettle and saw that the cold boiled water had already frozen into lumps of ice. He had no choice but to choke on the fried noodles.
Fortunately, the fried noodles are really delicious. This is what Yang Fan made based on the recipe of fried noodles in Daoxiang Village in later generations. It can be eaten with water or dry, and has a good taste. Moreover, it is high in calories and nutrients.
There are a lot of good things here. Each portion of fried noodles contains 500 grams of flour, 150 grams of beef bone marrow oil, 20 grams of black sesame seeds, 20 grams of white sesame seeds, 20 grams of walnut kernels, 10 grams of melon seeds, sugar, peanuts, and mung beans.
, appropriate amounts of red bean and sugar-osmanthus juice.
Camellia noodle is a Beijing snack with Hui flavor. It is made from cooked fried noodles mixed with beef bone marrow oil and brewed with boiling water. It is thick, lake-shaped, has a delicate texture, is sweet and has a strong aroma of butter, and is suitable for the elderly. There are other additions to making camellia noodle.
In addition to using beef bone marrow oil, you can also use sesame oil for butter. It is also delicious if it is salty and the flavor is not inferior.
After being put into the army, it was well received.
Yang Fan originally wanted to provide instant noodles, but the cost of delivering such large-scale instant noodles was too high. Now we can all be self-sufficient in food. There is no need to deliver barreled instant noodles on a large scale. This thing is actually not cheap, and it is eaten in large quantities by the troops.
There are also some that are too much to bear.
So the only choice for quick convenience food is fried noodles. This thing can also be eaten as soon as it is brewed with boiling water. It can also be eaten dry without water. Moreover, this thing can be produced in Daming by itself, and all the raw materials are available.
Duolun and Xincheng established fried noodle production plants at the same time and began to fry tea-oiled tea noodles on a large scale.
On this departure, each soldier was issued a long fried noodles bag with a diameter of ten centimeters. The two ends were tied together to form a ring and hung around the neck. Each soldier contained ten kilograms of fried noodles.
Finally, it was night and we camped. The wind also calmed down a bit.
Team leader Mo Rigen came over as an archer and ordered everyone to surround the city twice with twenty camels. He asked the camels to lie down to form a wall to keep out the wind and snow, and then spread an inch-thick wool felt on the ground in the middle.
.There is a one-meter square space in the middle, which is used as a fire pit.
The book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years is the Changyuan app! It is so easy to use. I rely on it to pass the time by reading and listening to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download the anyan app here】
Cheng Lin and Cheng Hu got off the camels and stretched their somewhat stiff legs. They thought to themselves that this day was really hard and they could finally camp.
A man first used an engineering shovel to remove the snow in the middle. Then he installed the kerosene stove and started melting the ice and snow with an aluminum pot. When marching, it was difficult to get water. Even the rivers were frozen this season. The only way to get water was to melt the ice and snow.
.
The kerosene stove is very powerful and has a windproof design.
This workshop is still a listed company, and their first big order was placed by An Sanxi, which was for 10,000 units at a time. I heard that the stock price of this workshop has risen sharply. Ten thousand units is a big order.
I heard that in the future, various units will need to purchase them on a large scale, reaching the level of one for every five soldiers.
The camels blocked the wind and the kerosene stove also provided warmth. Everyone sat cross-legged on the felt comfortably.
Morigen asked everyone to put the kettles around the stove and bake them to let the ice melt. After a while, the water boiled and everyone made instant noodles. The aroma of camellia noodles spread throughout the camp.
The soldiers were all snoring and drinking hot oil tea. They felt so comfortable and their bodies warmed up. Morigen took out the skewered mutton skewers from the camel's baggage and put them on the kerosene stove.
Start baking.
It is winter now, and the mutton skewers that have been dressed in advance can be stored for a long time. They are as cold as stones and will not deteriorate at all.
Jiyasiyin (good luck), Bayar (joy), Baiyin (richness), Jirigel (happiness) and others all took out stainless steel flasks and drank a few sips of strong liquor. Mongolians like to drink.
Especially hard liquor.
Chen Youdao, Huang Hu, and Lu Beicheng also took out small tea buckets and brewed some tea with boiling water. The Cheng brothers took out a box of canned luncheon meat from their backpacks, opened it, and fired it with a flintlock gun.
Cut them into small pieces with a bayonet and roast them by the fire.
Chen Youdao and Huang Hu were corps commanders, and eleven people made up this cavalry group.
"Commander, have you been to Mobei?" Chen Youdao asked.
"When I was young, my father took me there once. There are many deserts in Mobei and few good pastures. It is far less good than our Monan." Mo Rigen said.
"Are the Khalkhas good at fighting?" Huang Hu asked.
"How should I put it? I think that when it comes to fighting, the most powerful among the Mongolians are the Chahar people. Because they have been fighting. The Khalkha people have not fought much for more than two hundred years. The good times have gone too long.
No warriors will come," Mo Rigen said.
At this time, the mutton skewers made a squeaking sound, and a large amount of fat dripped on the kerosene stove. It was almost cooked.
Bayar quickly took it, turned it over, and said to Huang Hu: "Commander, do you still have chili noodles? Sprinkle some on it. Chili noodles are my favorite."
Huang Hu's wife sent him ten kilograms of chili noodles by mail, which is a good thing. Until now, chili peppers are only grown in the Xincheng territory. They are rarely grown outside.
What can be shipped out are seeded chili noodles and chili oil. These items are very expensive and are an important source of income for the Yang family.
Huang Hu happily took out a bag from his camel and carefully sprinkled it on the mutton skewers. He said: "I knew your kid would ask for it for me, but I had to save some. I brought it when I came out this time."
One pound."
The mutton skewers sprinkled with chili immediately gave off a strong aroma. On this cold winter night, eating some chili is really a pleasure.
Everyone immediately picked up the mutton skewers and started eating, drinking strong wine, and their whole bodies became warm.
Cheng Hu asked: "How many days do we have to walk to reach Tuxie Tuhan's territory?"
Mo Zhigen calculated silently and said: "I heard that the guide-style old Bale this time probably won't take the wrong path, and he should arrive in about ten days."
