Chapter 5965 The gap is so big!
After all, Ma Xinde was taking a seal from another driver in Zangzhou. In many semi-public places, Ma Xinde would basically not stop him. Just like the county magistrate Ma Wang, who was undergoing training after checking the seal, did not stop Ma Xinde from watching the training.
"This exercise is very good." After all, Ma Xinde also came from Beigui. Although he was not from the Five Great Yuezhi Branch, his seeds were also in the mountains, so he was sent to the military service of the conscription system, and he knew how to train.
Therefore, after looking for a while, I also saw the trick. The county magistrate Ma Wang was a veteran of the Imperial Guard. It was not sure whether it was the two or three levels, but it was definitely an elite force. The soldiers taught the soldiers that they were serious ways to kill the enemy.
"It's okay. According to this exercise, after a period of military service competition, our county should be able to get the top three." Ma Wang also expressed his satisfaction with his young man under his command. There are many forests and many wild animals here. Killing some beasts can be considered a training for soldiers.
"Hanzhong itself has a strong folk custom, so it would be nice to be able to win the top three." Yang Pu said with emotion. Yongliang is a place that is very popular. It is really a fatal thing to get a ranking in military service. Although Hanzhong does not belong to Yongliang, after the road is completed, it has also been pulled into the list.
"Brother Yang, you are here this time. Didn't Brother Neighbor come?" Ma Wang looked at Yang Pu and said strangely, then reached out to take a pack of Cordyceps sinensis handed over by Yang Pu. Every time people came down from Zangzhou, they would bring a pack of Zangzhou herbs to Ma Wang and those who were stationed in Yanbian.
"This time I am escorting the bad guy to attend the court meeting." Yang Pu's face turned aside and put away his previous hippie smile. At this time, Ma Wang realized that the old man with his hands behind his back was actually bad guy. You must know that the Han Dynasty's bureaucrats are now younger, and it is rare to see old guys become officials.
"I've seen someone else." Ma Wang came to see him quickly, but Ma Xinde didn't care. He waved his hand and told Ma Wang to do something else, while he carefully observed these young and strong people.
Finally, Masinde basically confirmed that these young people with military service were significantly less than those of the Great Yuezhi young people. It was estimated that they had only started military service in the entire militia in the past five or six years. However, the weight and strength of these young people were significantly better than the average level of the Great Yuezhi, and basically reached the level of the young and strong population under the jurisdiction of the five nobles.
[It seems that the Han Dynasty has only recovered in recent years, but it is still a thick foundation. It can be maintained in a short period of time. However, its height is fixed, and its innate nature is higher than that of the Great Yuezhi on average.] Ma Xinde was very moved when he saw these young and strong people practicing.
Ma Wang is a more boring soldier who doesn't flatter you. After meeting Ma Xinde, he found that Ma Xinde didn't ask anything and continued to train. Yang Pu and others were determined to leave, but Ma Xinde wanted to see, so everyone would accompany him.
After accompanying this, I stayed until noon. Then I pulled several trucks of steamed buns and cabbage and tofu stewed vermicelli in the kitchen. Ma Xinde was not polite, so he made a bowl himself, and after eating it, he fell into deep thought.
It’s not that it is so delicious, and Mashind has eaten a lot of delicacies in the mountains and seas. He can better understand the gap between the Kushan and the Han Dynasty by eating this.
"Is there any wine?" Ma Xinde asked Ma Wang after eating.
"Although this place is just military training, the military camp is prohibited." Ma Wang refused formally, saying, "There is no way. Any soldier who has been hammered because of drinking will not drink when he has military affairs, so Ma Wang did not prepare wine."
"Don't drive, go east and there is a supply and marketing cooperative, and there is wine there." Yang Pu greeted Ma Xinde, "and there are a wide variety, and new products are often available."
Ma Xinde nodded. As a guy who lived on the battlefield and was older than the average age of people in this era, he would not be dissatisfied with this serious rejection. He nodded to Ma Wang and left with Yang Pu.
After changing the yak to a pack horse, Ma Xinde lay on the frame and poked out half of his body to communicate with Yang Pu, "Do you have any thoughts after coming down from Tibetan Prefecture?"
"What do you think?" Yang Pu didn't understand why.
"That's a stir-fried bun with white flour and oily residue, and it's very suitable for those who work." Ma Xinde said to Yang Pu with a smile.
Although it is just stewed with vermicelli with tofu and cabbage, it can be stewed with animal oil, but it is actually quite delicious. At least Ma Xinde knows very well that Da Yuezhi can't do this at all. Moreover, when Ma Xinde eats Ma Xinde, you can also see that this is the standard training food, which is not good or bad.
"Actually, we are just thrifty." Yang Pu thought about it and replied. It was not that they couldn't afford to eat in Tibetan areas, but that they were just reluctant to give up. Thinking about it carefully, they could actually live like this, but they were used to living a poor life and couldn't bear to give up.
Not to mention anything else, there are now more than three million big geese in Zangzhou. Although many of them have not grown up, this is a huge wealth. Including cattle, sheep, horses, etc., the wealth of Qingqiang and Faqiang has actually exceeded any point in the past, but they just can't bear to eat and use it.
Ma Xinde nodded when he heard this. He had been with Faqiang and Qingqiang for so long, and realized that this group of people was actually innumerable. The prices of various medicinal materials in Zangzhou were not low and extremely stable. Therefore, these people actually had money, but they were reluctant to spend it.
"Speaking of this, this cook can be willing to put so much oil, why don't hesitate to put meat?" Masinde asked strangely.
All of them are animal oils. With the degree of oil absorption of cabbage, it can be used to press the oil into the level of oil juice with a press of steamed buns. This is not short of meat at all. As a result, Ma Xinde did not see meat in the dish, which is very strange.
Yang Pu scratched his head, "Because something happened before, there was no meat in vegetarian dishes."
When Chen Xi started to engage in animal husbandry and was able to provide meat to the army, meat and vegetables were fried or stewed together. Therefore, when making rice, it is inevitable that someone would take a spoonful of meat and less vegetables, and some would have more vegetables and less meat.
This is the third century. Many ordinary people have never seen meat several times in their lives. Therefore, when making food, there are several fights because of the problem of too much meat or too much vegetables. Some fight with the chef, some grab the spoon, and some are dissatisfied with the fact that they have two pieces of meat.
In short, since Chen Xi first created meat and vegetables for the army, he has never stopped fighting for problems such as having too much meat and less meat, fat and thinness.
After Chen Xi learned about this, the army's vegetarian dishes became pure vegetarian dishes, and meat dishes became pure vegetarian dishes, reducing the fights caused by such meaningless events.
Simply put, if you eat chicken nuggets today, there are only chicken nuggets except seasonings, and you will never add any vegetarian dishes. It is said that it is braised pork today, but there is only braised pork. If it is fish, then there is only fish. You will never make those messy things.
"This is really not easy." Ma Xinde sighed very much. This is already a luxury trouble that only the Han Dynasty has. If you put Kushan, you can add meat to your dishes. Thank God.
"Yes, even due to fat and thin issues, the animal husbandry managers specially found someone to study how to cut meat and completely avoid the problem of bone content of meat." Yang Pu nodded heavily, and Ma Xinde only felt that this was purely crazy.
"But the process is relatively good at present. There seems to be only fish on the eastern coast, and the others seem to be not very easy to deal with." Yang Pu thought for a while and said.
The others are not difficult to deal with, but more direct labor costs are too high. Chen Xi is too lazy to do it. On the contrary, the fishery industry, some sea fish steaks are easier to deal with, so they are cut into fish steaks directly. The remaining fish bones with some meat are directly ground by human or hydraulic power, and the tidal meat grinder is pulled away by trucks as feed additives.
To be honest, eating this really grows fast, especially pigs that eat everything. Eating this one grows very fast and has a very thick fat. Many animal oil contribute in this way.
Although vegetable oil is theoretically safer, considering the overall output and transportation difficulty, animal oil is easier to handle. Speaking of which, in the case of the Han Dynasty, some of them are good to eat, not to mention that animal oil is also more fragrant.
"This is really amazing." Mashind spoke with some complex feelings. In Mashind's view, the strength of the Han Dynasty was more terrifying than those military performances. After all, such a large rear can continuously support the expansion of military power.
Silently along the way, Yang Pu took Ma Xinde to the village closest to the military camp according to the previous route. Ma Xinde fell into deep thought as he looked at the seven or eight meters high city wall.
Yang Pu obviously came a lot, so someone greeted him not long after he went in, and then took Ma Xinde all the way to the supply and marketing cooperative.
These days, the supply and marketing cooperatives mainly sell various alcoholic products that Chen Xi failed to develop, so Ma Xinde smelled the aroma of wine before he even entered. A shed was set up next door to the supply and marketing cooperatives, and many older old men were bragging and playing chess.
Looking at the jars of various types of wine, Masinde has a deeper understanding of the accumulation of supplies in the Han Dynasty. This is a big fuck. I’ll just throw in it. The price of wine is so low. How much supplies are there?
"Just this rice wine bar, give me a bowl." Masinde said, pointing to the old rice wine with the most mellow taste. Compared with other fruit wines, Masinde thinks that the old rice wine made from millet is the most reliable. This thing has a long history so that even Masinde knows it.
The old man from the supply and marketing cooperative poured a bowl. When there was only rice wine in the past, no one could afford it. After the number of wine, rice wine could not beat other wines. Therefore, when he saw someone who understood this, the old man was very happy.
Ma Xinde took a few sips, and the more he drank, the more he felt the taste was. Just as Ma Xinde felt that he was almost at the wine he used during the banquet of the five internal branches of the Great Yuezhi. He couldn't help but look carefully at the old man opposite him, and he couldn't tell that he was still a master of winemaking.
"Try this again." Masinde pointed to the bowl and asked the old man to pour something else. In fact, Masinde didn't know what these things were written with stews, mulberries, sugar cane, bayberry, etc., but Masinde didn't mind trying them.
After all, rice wine is a semi-sweet wine, so Masinde can naturally accept other things. Therefore, after tasting one by one, the old man selling wine has a higher evaluation. This is simply a winemaking master. Although not every wine meets Masinde's taste, it is generally pretty good.
Especially when calculating the price, Ma Xinde was even more satisfied with it. It was really good and cheap, so he brought a jar of rice wine into his car.
Just like this, Ma Xinde drank from Mianyang to Xinzheng, and was still sighing that he would buy some next time he passed by. This wine was really good. After Yang Pu finished drinking Ma Xinde, he thought Ma Xinde liked drinking this thing, so when he was passing by another village, he bought another jar of rice wine for Ma Xinde.
When Masinde took over, he was a little confused. After scooping a spoonful, he became even more confused. The taste felt exactly the same. What the hell is this?
What else can be done? Chen Xi asked Kong Rong and Zheng Quan to take the lead, gathering nearly 100 bigwigs who are proficient in brewing, verifying them one by one, and finally creating a professional and standardized brewing method.
Rely on luck? Rely on hand? Rely on hand? Requiring all the messy preconditions? Let me crack them all! What kind of water, what kind of temperature, and what kind of wine chorus are listed clearly, and verified over and over again, and keep improving. Even if it is on a scale, it is several levels higher than the level of an ordinary wine shop.
In addition to the standardized process, one pound of millet produces two pounds of high-quality rice wine. Chen Xi made money with tears in his eyes and ensured that one dou of rice produces four dou of wine. The result is that the price of wine is basically the same as that of millet, and there will be no situation like the Han Dynasty that was several times the price of rice.
After all, Masinde was a smart person and quickly figured out these things. But the more he understood some things, the more he could understand the gap between the two sides. The Han Dynasty's way of concentrating its strength seemed simple, but after experiencing political struggles, Masinde, who had been self-exiled, knew very well how difficult it was to take such a light weight. This meant that the Han Dynasty's government orders were almost completely unified.
"Don't go, Hanzhong City is ahead." Yang Pu greeted Ma Xinde, who was drunk. Hearing this, Ma Xinde couldn't help but stick his head out and look, then slowly shrank back. He didn't look at it anymore. Fu Ward gave up as soon as possible, and don't struggle.
"I don't have any hobbies. I have anything to eat here and wherever I am, we just go directly, and it's not easy to disturb the Hanzhong Prefect." Ma Xinde said to Yang Pu in the frame.
Compared with other wise men, Ma Xinde is a very down-to-earth person with simple hobbies, just eating and drinking. The Han Dynasty is very satisfied with eating and drinking in a variety of ways.
Especially after confirming the strength of the Han Dynasty and not being able to win at all, Ma Xinde, who was already planning to show off his own fault, completely gave up struggling. The gap is so big, why are you fighting? Give up.
