Yang Fan's team spent a day repairing by Jingbo Lake.
During this period of time, the army was very tired from traveling in the snow. The main reason was that the snow was too deep and the trek was difficult. Although there were road rollers to compact the snow as much as possible, in addition to marching, they usually had to camp and cut wood for fuel. It was always necessary to
Leaving the temporary road.
As soon as they left the kilometer, the knee-deep snow made them miserable. Traveling in deep snow was very difficult and very tiring.
It's not that Yang Fan didn't consider asking a truck to deliver briquettes. The main reason was that the iron stove was too heavy to be carried by the army on the march. So when camping, he just dug a fire pit and burned some firewood for heating. It could not only bake some food, but also make a fire.
Recently, Dajun's three meals a day have been changed. He can't stand eating the same thing all the time. Now he has corn and kidney bean porridge in the morning, with pickles.
At noon, there are steamed buns or pancakes, and various stewed dried vegetables are served. Fatty pork, various vegetables dried in the autumn, and wild vegetables are stewed in a large pot. The dried vegetables that have absorbed the fat are also very delicious.
In the evening, I cook noodles. Boxes of dried noodles are cooked and stirred directly with scallion oil. It is also very delicious.
Yang Fan's steam truck is equipped with army kitchen equipment. Providing food for more than 40,000 people is not a big problem. One cooking truck can provide food for 500 people, ensuring that everyone can eat hot food.
Now the transportation capacity is sufficient, the distance is not far, and the trucks arrive very quickly. Therefore, the food is better. If we go to Wula Street (Siping), the logistics pressure will increase. At that time, the food will definitely drop.
Yang Fan planned to just boil the noodles and eat them. The simplest meal was to just boil the noodles.
Add lard and dehydrated vegetables to a large pot and add some powdered soup. Then add noodles. Make hot soup noodles and eat them. It is quick, warm and nutritious. If you are tired of hot soup noodles, you can also eat noodles mixed with scallion oil.
.
Once the noodles are cooked, just mix them with scallion oil. It's very fast. Eating on the battlefield must be simple and fast.
Scallion oil is very simple to make and can be stored for a long time. It is a very suitable field food. Chop the scallions, add half a pot of oil in a large pot, fry the scallions until golden brown, then add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce and oil.
Add some sugar to make it fresher, add some salt and it's ready.
The scallion oil factory sells 50 kilograms in a small tinplate bucket. It is easy to transport. When eating, open the lid, take out some, and mix it directly with noodles. Boil the noodles in water, then sprinkle with scallion oil, and it is ok. It is also convenient,
Fast and delicious.
These scallion oils are too expensive to use, so you have to consider the cost. Yang Fan directly uses fried sea fish to make cans, and uses the remaining oil to fry scallions. Sea fish is very fat, and a lot of oil will come out when frying. The more you fry, the more oil you will get.
.
These fish oils also bring the delicious taste of sea fish. Scallion oil is more delicious than vegetable oil. Oil consumption is not a problem. Vladivostok has established a seafood factory. There are plenty of oysters. Once cooked in a big pot, the oil consumption will come out. Now double
Around the city, sugar beets have also begun to be planted on a large scale, and sugar factories have also begun to produce. There is no shortage of these things.
The Jurchens of the East China Sea were extremely happy along the way.
Normally, during this season, they would smear their bodies with grease and hide in caves to endure the winter in the tribe. Every winter is a test of life and death. If you survive it, the new year will begin. If you don't survive it, the new year will begin.
, that is also God’s will.
They never had enough food and never had enough to eat in their entire lives.
Only when they came to Yang Fan's place, they let go of eating for the first time in their lives. They were full for the first time. They were so excited that they burst into tears. It turned out that it felt so good to be full.
Now, they have not yet attacked Jiannu and obtained the spoils of war, but they are already very happy.
Because I can eat three full meals every day, get into my sleeping bag at night, lie on the snow and fall asleep. It feels much warmer than living in a cave at home. In the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty, this is suffering. But to them
In my eyes, this sleeping bag is so warm and comfortable. Sleeping in the snow is more comfortable than at home.
As for the green eyes everywhere around them, they don't care. In their opinion, the wild wolves patrolling at the door are no different from dogs. Isn't it the same at home?
In winter, when there is no food to be found, the hungry wolf's eyes glow green, peeping outside the human camp, waiting for an opportunity to get some food.
There are sentries standing guard here and there are bonfires. They sleep like dead pigs without worrying about being dragged away by wolves. They are safer here than at home.
After Yang Fan ordered a day of repairs, he also ordered an extra meal today.
The servants went to Huli to divert the river, blasted open the frozen ice, and used dozens of long nets to haul up more than 100,000 catties of fish. They were all distributed to more than 40,000 East China Sea Jurchens, who were asked to kill and clean them themselves, and smeared them with salt and
Spices, roasted over a campfire and eaten.
One hundred thousand kilograms of fish sounds like a lot. The fish here are big and weigh several kilograms. In fact, each person is given one fish. In addition to grilled fish, canned braised pig heads are also given. Every fifty people are given a bucket of tinplate cans.
These cans come in a barrel of fifty kilograms. Each person can get almost one kilogram of cooked food.
Yang Fan took advantage of the army to repair and took his wives to visit Jingbo Lake in winter on a snowmobile.
The army needs to be repaired for walking. He is riding in an RV and is not tired at all.
Yang Fan took them to see the sunrise at Jingpo Lake, as well as the ice waterfall and rime. The morning light, ice waterfall and rime formed a beautiful scenery. Under the faint halo of the first day, the vigorous mist was filled with steam and strips of rime.
It trembled slightly in an ostentatious manner, like a deer's antlers or like a clump of blooming coral.
Yang Fan was having a barbecue with his wives on the ice when he saw a steam truck approaching.
Donkey Dan got off the car, ran over and said, "Sir, there are 20,000 Jurchens from Beishan, and there are fifty big and small heads in total. We are still fifty miles away from our army, and we will see them tomorrow."
Yang Fan nodded. These people are quite wise. They have thought clearly and acted very straightforwardly. They are not sloppy. Yang Fan likes this kind of character.
"How are they doing? Do they have a lot of frostbite?" Yang Fan asked. These people came from the north of Heilongjiang. It's colder there.
"Master, they are fine. On the first day we arrived, we gave them strong liquor. We also warned them that it was for treating wounds. Unexpectedly, they all drank it. Several of them were so drunk that they almost froze to death."
"Huh, don't give them alcohol anymore." Yang Fan frowned and said. If you drink too much in this weather, you will really freeze to death. This time everyone is here. There are more than 60,000 people in total.
Although these people are unorganized and undisciplined, Jian Nu is afraid of the individual combat effectiveness. If Yang Fan can command them, these people will be a more elite force than Jian Nu's Eight Banners.
"By the way, we're going to have extra meals today and send people to deliver supplies to them in trucks. Don't favor one thing over another."
