Chapter 1191: Drawing cakes on white paper, crossing the apocalypse
Standing stupidly among the many straw grain bags, Liu Shiba was really crazy for a moment. He kept shaking his head, suspecting that he was dreaming...
This is exactly what Shingen described as being able to feed the entire army - military rations!
It doesn't matter if he burps himself or turns into a zombie or a living dead, but he plans to let these three thousand peasants and soldiers who are almost in despair have a feast of grass and then go to war with weapons?
This is not scientific at all!
A living person should eat rice, and a soldier should eat grain. It is only natural and right!
Satisfying appetite is the most critical step in the evolution from animals to humans.
Human beings are in the stage of evolution. Only when their bellies are full can they have free time to develop their brain power and thinking.
From a national level, regardless of the past and future China, to the current Warring States Period and the Japanese Archipelago, there have been countless powerful forces in history. They were all like wolves and tigers because they could not solve the problem of starvation.
The hungry people who glowed with green light suddenly pushed down...
The process of knocking it down is a piece of cake!
The stability of power is the most important foundation. It is no exaggeration to say that every powerful force that rules a party is based on making the country prosperous and the people well-fed.
Then the brain-burning emperors or rulers can enjoy the utmost luxury. Only by controlling the ignorant people who are satisfied after eating enough can they be better able to indulge in extravagance. You can have whatever you want, right?
In Japan during the Warring States Period, materials were inherently scarce, and minerals were originally very few.
The only food available was food. During the Warring States Period, food was its only bright spot.
Rice grown with pollution-free water and pure biofertilizer has allowed many people to swallow several kilograms of dough with only white rice...
However, Liu Shiba's hunger was finally tortured to the edge of collapse by the piles of straw grain bags containing rice piled up in front of him like a hill.
All his inner expectations and good appetite were shattered in front of the broken grain bag!
He couldn't imagine what kind of horrific scene the three thousand soldiers who were almost going crazy with hunger outside the big tent would face when they were attacked by troops from other territories.
Xiaoying is probably the lightest!
It is not uncommon for animals whose eyes are so hungry that they turn against the king of beasts and eat them!
During the Warring States Period, all the power, pleasure, and satisfaction of being admired by the common people, daimyo, and lords in Kyoto were all based on one plant, and that was rice!
Surrounding power, wealth and war, besides eating is to eat, and to survive is to make children and continue the family.
People live to fight, and they fight to eat better rice. Only after eating can they have the strength to "make" hard!
Men who eat enough delicious rice can subvert all the female species in front of them...
Men at that time were real beasts, right?
They don’t care if you are a biological sister, a biological daughter or even a biological mother!
There is only one goal in their minds: to eat noodles...
There is only one species in their eyes: the pork belly brand airplane cup...
They are originally illiterate and cannot read big characters, but without exception they all understand one word, which is: "Create!"
Make it hard...
It can be seen that the balance of war depends entirely on who has the amount of rice to decide the outcome.
During the Warring States Period, the Mino area was a major producer of rice. In fact, not only the Mino area, but also the Shinano area, or other land that could be planted, were growing various types of rice.
But the delicious rice produced has nothing to do with the people who grow it. It can be described in post-modern terms: luxury goods!
Even the native horse bandits in Japan know not to rob gold, silver and jewelry, nor to rob the homes of aristocratic grandpas in the wealthy Osaka Castle of Kyoto.
Why do you stare so hard at a remote country that is so poor that only rice is left, and go back and forth endlessly?
From the side, it confirms a saying: Poor mountains and harsh waters bring out unruly people, but unruly people are also people, so there is a backstory - food is the first thing for the people!
Therefore, rice is precious and expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford it. Only the great masters of Kyoto, the daimyo family, retainers, generals, and generals in Kyoto can eat it!
There’s no guarantee yet, just give it a try...
……………………
The change actually came from China across the sea. The door to other countries gradually opened. Corn cobs and potato knots were introduced from the cabins of the descendants of the Vikings to China in the Ming Dynasty, causing the population to grow after the War of Feast and Warmth.
Later, some profit-minded navigators from the Ming Dynasty came to Japan and exchanged white porcelain urinals for gold and silver, women, and Japanese rice.
Even Japan's monkey Seki Haku Toyosei Hideyoshi could regard an old urinal with a sour smell and a sultry smell as a family heirloom and lick it three times a day...
It can be seen that Japan's backwardness and poverty are still in the rice stage...
Their country gate is also shy, like a famous chicken in Kyoto with its belt unbuttoned, allowing all kinds of male races from all over the world to gallop back and forth...
The corn cobs and potatoes introduced into the country soon became the staple food on the tatami of the common people. Even the nobles of Kyoto were particularly fond of roasted potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn on the cob.
Gradually, rice became a kind of condiment that strengthens the body!
Especially soldiers and generals who are fighting have begun to realize the importance of food, especially the state after eating, which is particularly important!
The magical chazuke rice appeared mysteriously in that era...
This rice soaking method is simple. After the rice is cooked and cooled, soak it with Gushui tea imported from the Ming Dynasty before eating, and add a pinch of sea salt to increase strength.
Ministers, military commanders, and daimyo are more particular about eating rice. They should have several plates of side dishes with them. A plate of peanuts, a plate of seaweed skin, and a piece of salted fish with only bones left is enough.
Later, some samurai in the daimyo army who were slightly more advanced than the ashigaru were very talented, and without exception they learned to drink chazuke rice, a food that particularly enhances one's morale.
Eating tea and rice can not only fill your stomach, but also improve your self-cultivation, increase your poetic and picturesque IQ, and the most important thing is: you can show off!
It seems that the rare species that eats chazuke rice, pickled vegetables, roasted potatoes and corn on the cob are the ones who are extraordinarily different among the human species - superior people!
What's even more ridiculous is that there is a daimyo who saw that the soldiers had no rice to eat, so he finally used a brush, white paper, black ink, and an inkstone to draw a big cake for the soldiers to satisfy their hunger!
Don't laugh, it's impossible for one person to eat a big pie!
At least two people should share one piece of the white paper pie that the Lord rewards!
Not to mention it’s amazing after enjoying it! These soldiers are as full of power as inflated toads, with high morale on their faces, and they are unstoppable and become cannon fodder on the ground...
Their greatest effect was to delay the enemy's attack, allowing the daimyo lord who painted the cake to run back to the city smoothly.
………………
Just like the military ration joke that Liu Shiba saw now, its truth and connotation are exactly the same!
The difference is that when Takeda Shingen painted the pie, the tent cloth was used instead of the white paper, the brushes were the women's clothes, and the inkstone was the desolate tent site!
As for the most important ink, a mountain of empty grain bags was displayed in front of Liu Shiba's eyes!
Takeda Shingen died, but he drew a big pie for Liu Shiba to enjoy!
"The whole army will have a good meal and then follow me to face the enemy tomorrow morning?"
This sentence is exactly the slogan Liu Shiba shouted before. Now he is standing in front of the pie, but he is at a loss and dumbfounded!
Painting cakes to satisfy hunger, does it really have such magical power?
Liu Shiba had never believed it, but now, he had to... give it a try!
Otherwise, if you cross tonight, it will be the end!
Just when Liu Shiba was in a daze, an erratic male voice came from the top of the empty grain bag:
"Is this the new owner of the hall? Please don't be sad. Under the empty grain bag, there are more than a dozen bags of cornmeal and wheat flour stored for the war horses. Thanks to my lord, I don't mind competing with the horses for food, and I can temporarily satisfy my hunger.
Turn it over."
Liu Shiba's pupils suddenly expanded in a circle, his heart violently rioted, and he almost jumped to the entrance of the seat and squeezed out...
…………………………………………
This is a chapter that I promised everyone in the daytime. The rest of it will be wonderful, bizarre and absurd. Readers, please give me your support!
Don’t ruin the book that Liu Shiba devoted so much effort to writing for the sake of a little pleasure in front of you!
