"Quick, quick, quick! Do you feel a little embarrassed watching a group of old men doing hard work while you are receiving preferential treatment on the side?
I'm telling you, I'm sorry.
Each one of them quickly got to work and prepared more delicious food, which can be regarded as giving their best."
Standing on a rock where the horse was tied, Hu Biao held a blood-stained horse machete in one hand and a pole at his waist with the other, shouting loudly, looking a little anxious and angry.
Amid Hu Biao's urging, the other 20 netizens were busy working quickly.
It was said that they were only responsible for the meals of the Wuwei Army's Xuange Camp, but Hu Biao and the others planned to also be responsible for the meals of the neighboring Bai Qi Camp.
After all, this is the only thing they can do at the moment.
In this way, the combined combat and logistics personnel of the two battalions totaled about 600 people.
As for Hu Biao and other netizens, there are only 21 people in total. It is undoubtedly a bit stressful to be responsible for the meals of so many people.
Because these people have been online for a long time, they always know some weird knowledge.
For example, the warehouse manager made a point: "Old Hu! This is a bit tight on time and the task is heavy.
I remember that in the PLA, a company at the grassroots level usually has one cook with 25 people, an agency with 20 people, and one air crew with 10 people.
If we divide it evenly, we are responsible for almost 30 people's meals. It doesn't look much different from the PLA grassroots company.
But don’t forget, PLA’s cooks are not only professionals, but also have all kinds of professional equipment. There is not even a serious cook among our group.
Anyway, I’m not afraid of embarrassment. Let me emphasize that I can’t even stir-fry home-cooked dishes. I can only make instant noodles.”
When the warehouse manager said weakly that he would make instant noodles if he could, at least a dozen or three netizens raised their hands in embarrassment, saying that they did the same thing.
Who said it was so convenient to order takeout in the modern world, and who bothered to cook it themselves?
Seeing this, Hu Biao could only ask everyone to move as quickly as possible to avoid not having enough food when it was time for dinner.
As for what to eat in the evening, should it be "very delicious"? It was decided in advance.
At that time, everyone got together, combined with the ingredients and condiments that Tang Jun could provide in the city, and tried to come up with a food that was simple to operate, delicious, and most importantly, in line with Tang Jun's taste.
In this aspect, a netizen from Shangluo area of Shaanxi Province, codenamed "Whistle", has made a great contribution.
He suggested having a mutton steamed bun dinner in the evening, which was unanimously approved by everyone.
The key point is that the Hu cakes used as dry food by the Tang army looked similar to the current bag; although they were very different from the serious steamed buns, they were hard and could be used.
There is no need to go to trouble to do that stuff, the logistics veterans have already done a lot of it.
Therefore, what they need to do is to cook the mutton and broth first. Before eating, put the broken Hu cakes into the pot, add the soup, add the meat and cook over high heat.
Even if there are no vermicelli and other ingredients, there are many condiments in the modern dimension.
After taking it out of the pot, add a handful of green onions, I believe it will taste very good.
Even if there is no time, just add soup and meat to the bowl of broken pancakes, Hu Biao can pat his chest and guarantee that it will be much more delicious than that 'soup cake'.
So, after determining the type of dinner, everyone started to get busy.
After first talking to the team leader Liang Daya, he took Xu Feng and about ten people out for a trip. When he came back, he brought back five sheep in total.
These sheep have already been killed and groomed.
This can be regarded as reducing a large part of the workload of Hu Biao. Otherwise, just killing the sheep would be enough for these rookies to be in a hurry.
After the sheep came back, several netizens with better knife skills took the Malay machetes produced by the system, deboned the bones and chopped the mutton into large pieces.
These trophies that originally belonged to Zhang Tiezhu and others were returned by Hu Biao and others after they joined Xuange Camp.
The mutton that has been chopped into large pieces is poured directly into basins of clean water to begin the necessary process of removing blood and water from the meat; just such a simple method can reduce the smell of sheep.
Some netizens who knew nothing else started to light a fire and wash green onions, onions, carrots and other ingredients.
Hu Biao, Cang Guan, Yang Dongli and others went to find Cang Cao, a military officer, with full expectations, intending to see if there were any spices that could be put into the soup.
Hu Biao and the others were surprised and delighted by such a process.
What made them happy was that the ingredient green onions had been brought back from the Western Regions by Zhang Qian during the Eastern Han Dynasty. They were not surprised at all that it could be found in the original place of Qiuci City.
But in the warehouse, Hu Biao and others found a large amount of pepper, cinnamon, cumin and other spices, which made them a little bit overjoyed.
With these spices in hand, they, two-knife cooks, felt even more confident about the copycat version of the 'mutton steamed bun' that they would prepare in the evening.
Immediately, I brought a big bag back.
Regarding the lavish practices of Hu Biao and others, Cang Cao, a military officer, had no intention of stopping them, even if this thing was worth a lot of money even in the Western Regions.
If it can be transported to Chang'an City in the pass, it will be even more valuable than gold.
The problem is that there is going to be a war soon, and it will be a life-and-death battle. The value of these things is no longer important.
After all, these things were collected as commercial taxes many years ago, but because the trade routes were cut off, they could not be sent to Chang'an, so they had been stored in the warehouse for several years.
Rather than fall into the hands of the Tubo people, it would be better for our own people to use it now.
In this way, the mutton and bones, which had been soaked in cold well water for half an hour, were thrown into a round-bottomed cauldron and began to stew over high heat.
Also thrown in were knotted green onions, mainly because Hu Biao and the others couldn't find any ginger, but wild green onions were everywhere outside the city.
After blanch the water, skim off the foam, add spices, the mutton begins to be simmered over high heat for a long time.
Finally, pots of mutton were stewed until the meat was rotten and the soup was thick, and some carrots were added. The most important preparation was completed.
To the regret of Hu Biao and the others, during the discussion last night, everyone also thought of some tactics that would be of great use in defending the city among their suggestions.
Even after they return to the modern plane, they can still play a great role in the Anxi Army.
For example: configure the most primitive gunpowder and make some explosive bags.
If the power is not enough, just use weight to make it up. Throw a bag of ten kilograms, twenty kilograms, or even heavier. If you don't kill the Tubo people, you will scare them to death.
In addition, some combustion tanks are made from crude oil that has been slightly processed.
When the Tibetans attack the city and smash it down, the scene will be very beautiful and more powerful than gold juice.
It is a pity that after careful searching and even asking who was involved in the military affairs, I was unable to find some of the key materials.
All the above plans can only be given up with regret.
****
After nightfall, under a city wall in the south of the city.
Scoop out a bowl of mutton steamed buns that have been simmered over high heat and are not authentic at all because they lack too many ingredients. Sprinkle a little pepper noodles and a handful of green onions on top.
Hu Biao handed it to Zhang Tiezhu, the leader of the team, with a flattering look on his face, and said in a straight-to-the-point tone:
"Uncle Zhang, come and give it a try. This thing is really good. It's so delicious~"
After hearing this, Zhang Tiezhu took the big bowl with an expressionless expression on his face, and started eating and drinking directly. He didn't mind the hot soup just out of the pot, and finished it in a short time.
During this process, due to the addition of spices, the particularly tantalizing aroma of meat has lingered throughout almost half of Kucha City.
Now there are one to two hundred people in Xuan Ge Camp and Bai Qi Camp, gathered in front of these big pots.
They all looked at Zhang Tiezhu eagerly, being the first to taste the taste of the meal that Hu Biao and others boasted was a hundred times more delicious than mutton soup.
Seeing Zhang Tiezhu finish a bowl of mutton steamed buns in a short time, Liang Daya asked quickly:
"Zhang Tou, how do these weird soup cakes taste?"
The voice just fell, and the scholar's drooling voice sounded next to him: "It smells so good, how could it be any worse? It must be very beautiful."
Unexpectedly, after Zhang Tiezhu struggled to swallow the food in his mouth, he gave another explanation:
"What's so beautiful about these soup cakes? They just smell delicious, but when you put them in your mouth, they don't taste soupy or watery at all."
To be honest! After hearing such a statement, Hu Biao and others fell into strong self-doubt.
Doesn’t it make sense? After they made a bowl just now, everyone took one or two bites each and they all thought it was quite delicious. Could it be that it was just because there was no smell of sheep that Tang Jun and the others felt it was not enough?
Fortunately, Hu Biao soon put down his worries.
Because Zhang Tiezhu yelled again: "Forget it! The taste is a little bad, but who knows that I am very tired today. Baby named Hu, please give me another bowl to fill my stomach."
No! Let’s have three or five bowls, I’m really hungry today.”
Only then did everyone realize that this old guy was just playing tricks and wanted to eat and occupy more.
In the following time, Hu Biao and others felt that they had become a machine, constantly repeating the final process of making mutton steamed buns.
This situation continued until Captain Wang, who had eaten five large bowls in a row, put down the empty bowl in his hand with satisfaction, and suddenly thought of something.
He started shouting: "Boy from the Hu family, hurry up and make a bowl of these soup cakes so that I can send it to Guo Shuai.
Guo Shuai has been getting angry recently. It is said that he has not eaten well for several days. I hope your pancakes can make him eat more; although I have heard that he even suffers from hemorrhoids, we still want to give him some consideration."
Hearing this, Hu Biao immediately remembered that there was a box of Mayinglong Hemorrhoid Cream in his pocket...
