Chapter 804     Combination of work and rest

Mu Chuan: "Hehe, I can't hide it from General Qin."

Although the two had not been together for a long time, they had also become sworn brothers and were familiar with each other. Qin Qiong naturally knew the idea of ​​Mu Chuan, a "big foodie", and immediately ordered people to prepare wine and food for Mu Chuan to fill his stomach.

In one stick of incense, you can see roasted lamb legs, fried pork, boiled vegetable leaves, etc. on the low table in the military tent.

The dishes are simple, far from what Mu Chuan ate in his own mansion, but there is nothing to do about it. After all, this is a military camp.

But while eating, Mu Chuan remembered that the soldiers outside were still training. It took six hours from the early morning to now, and I don’t know how these soldiers were training.

When the meal was halfway through, Mu Chuan planned to go out and have a look.

On the battlefield of the military camp, the sun was scorching, and five hundred imperial guards were carrying out "plank support". They were sweating profusely and their faces were painful. It could be seen that they were training very seriously and had no intention of slackness.

"How is it, Lord Mu."

"Very good! The military discipline is strict and the character is firm. He is worthy of being the soldiers under General Qin! I believe that in the future, I will be able to serve the motherland and make achievements."

"Haha, I think so too."

Qin Qiong smiled heroically, her face unconcealed pride.

However, training is training, and it is not good for the body to do it in a meaningful way. You must pay attention to the combination of work and rest.

Mu Chuan ordered a soldier to beat drums and summon everyone. After five hundred soldiers gathered in the middle of the battlefield, Mu Chuan announced: "The morning training is over, and there is no need to train more than the untrained events. Everyone should rest for half an hour first, and dinner will start after half an hour!"

"yes!"

The Imperial Guards answered in unison, and then they disbanded one by one and returned to the rest camp.

Mu Chuan and Qin Qiong returned to the commander's tent. After they sat down, Qin Qiong asked in confusion: "Brother Mu, why should you eat in half an hour?"

There is no fixed meal time in the military camp. As long as you rest, the soldiers will eat the dough bags and steamed buns. After eating, they will continue to train and perform military affairs.

However, Mu Chuan asked the soldiers to gather in the wooden house in the Northern Military Camp half an hour later and said they wanted to eat there, which naturally made Qin Qiong strange.

At this time, there were only two people in the army commander, and Mu Chuan called him affectionately: "Brother Qin, have you heard a saying, is a man iron or steel?"

"I haven't heard of it... I wonder what this sentence means?"

"The general idea is that if soldiers want to go on the battlefield and burst into fighting spirit, they must first eat well."

Mu Chuan planned to call Temujin from the Shangshu Mansion and also find some of the chefs from the Chang'an City Teahouse, so that the chefs and the chefs would make some delicious food for the brothers of the Imperial Guard.

When Qin Qiong heard this, he felt inappropriate: "I can understand Brother Mu's kindness, but if this happens, the soldiers will feel arrogant and extravagant."

In ancient Tang Dynasty, people could not even eat enough, so how could they eat well?

The Tang Dynasty imperial guards, as an army that protects the order of the Li family and the Chang'an city, naturally dared to be the first and lead by example. They could not eat and wear better than the people.

At this time, Qin Qiong began to teach the truth that "God will give great responsibilities to this person, he will first make his heart and mind work hard" and began to teach.

Of course, Mu Chuan could understand the principle of "ascetic deeds and hatred", but humans are not robots after all, and even robots have to feed them with oil.

"Brother Qin, please listen to me. If the soldiers are always suffering, they are afraid that they will feel resentment and affect their morale."

"I understand. Since you said that, Brother Mu, I will listen to you."

Half an hour later, Temujin Dali had arrived quickly. According to Mu Chuan's instructions, Dali cooked with a group of cooks at a very fast speed.

Now, half an hour later, the military camp has a large wooden house with vast space, with nearly 500 soldiers sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Temujin Dali and a dozen soldiers began to share the meals, making "big pot rice" and Mapo tofu rice bowl!

Because there were no tables and chairs here, the soldiers had to sit cross-legged on the ground to eat, but when they saw Mapo tofu rice bowl, their eyes flashed significantly, and they were particularly shocked.

"What's this soft thing?

Pure white and flawless, could it be tofu?"

"It smells spicy and it looks delicious with the meaty ones..."

"I can't help it anymore, my saliva and saliva keep flowing."

The soldiers all looked like they were drooling, but they hadn't eaten it yet. After all, they had never seen "Mapo tofu". Although they smelled the fragrance, they didn't know if it was okay to eat it.

No wonder the soldiers were so vigilant, because there was no such dish as "Mapo Tofu" in the Tang Dynasty.

Tofu originated in the Western Han Dynasty. The soldiers recognized tofu, but they did not recognize the pure white and red tofu, and they could smell a spicy feeling. No wonder they dared not eat it.

In fact, spicy and numb tastes are caused by "spicy peppers". However, until now, peppers have not been introduced to the Tang Dynasty. They have to wait until the Ming Dynasty in the 16th century to be transmitted from America.

Of course, because of the appearance of Mu Chuan, the time traveler, actually, there are peppers in the Chang'an City palace, but this pepper is only for the royal family and important officials.

The lower civilians, the landlords only heard of the name of pepper but did not know their appearance.

Mu Chuan explained at this time: "Everyone, this dish is made of Mapo tofu, which is made of a mixture of tofu and a seasoning ingredient called chili."

Hearing that there were chili peppers in Mapo tofu shocked the soldiers.

"It's chili, do I know chili! It's very popular in the palace and only those adults can enjoy it."

"There are such precious ingredients in this Mapo tofu, and we can still enjoy it?"

"No wonder it smells so special, it must taste good."

The soldiers all stared wide, with their faces full of anticipation and joy.

Seeing everyone like this, Mu Chuan waved his hand and shouted, "Then everyone, we're starting to eat!"

With a sound, five hundred soldiers all drank with wooden spoons and drank voraciously. They were very tempted. They sucked and breathed while eating, and they were obviously getting spicy.

But it is strange that Mapo tofu is spicy and sweaty, but the more you eat it, the more you feel, the more you eat it, so you can see most soldiers eating it with pain and joy.

Qin Qiong next to him had already eaten half of Mapo tofu and couldn't help but shout: "It's delicious, it's so delicious!"

"Haha, if Brother Qin likes it, how about I give you a recipe for Mapo tofu?

As for ingredients such as chili, I will send other servants to the mansion."

"Okay, okay, thank you brother Mu!"

After one stick of incense, you can see the soldiers on the floor lying on the ground, with their faces satisfied and sweat soaked their inner shirts.
Chapter completed!
