Chapter 1199: Late-night dog food, steamed buns and scallion pancakes
Liu Shiba walked slowly towards the canteen tent set up by the veteran driver, followed by dozens of Takeda family generals and retainers.
While walking, Liu Shiba turned to look at Takeda Katsuyori, who was a few steps behind and was thinking deeply, and suddenly asked:
"I heard from my guards that you also captured a woman and a black dog?"
"Ha! Yes, I don't know?"
Takeda Katsuyori was stunned when he heard this and responded hurriedly.
"How is she doing?"
Liu Shiba frowned and looked at Katsuyori.
"Ha! There are two servants who take care of it, but the food is carried into the inner room by the huge and terrifying black dog in its mouth. If other people approach..."
Takeda Katsuyori seemed to realize something was wrong, and his words were trembling.
"You didn't do anything, did you? That woman is my woman."
Liu Shiba smiled gloomily.
"I don't dare! When I found her, she was in a coma and never woke up."
Katsuyori raised his hand and wiped it on his forehead. He was frightened and thought to himself: Are you going to be beaten back to his original form again?
Unexpectedly, the woman with cerebral palsy was actually the concubine of this evil star...
"Thank you for taking care of me for a long time! After the fighting here is over, I will send someone from Yamamoto to pick him up and then send him to my place to ensure safety."
Liu Shiba stared at Takeda Katsuyori and ordered calmly.
"ha!"
Takeda Katsuyori, a stone suddenly fell to the ground in his heart.
"yes!"
Meng Tianfang stood behind Liu Shiba and immediately responded.
"Let's go! Let's eat the breakfast prepared by the old driver for us..."
Liu Shiba waved his hand and continued to move forward.
The ministers of the Takeda family who were watching everything silently breathed a sigh of relief. This guy is not crazy about his own people...
If this happened to another daimyo, if they knew that their beloved concubine had been imprisoned for three months by a stupid boy like you, it would be merciful to ask you to commit suicide on the spot by caesarean section...
……………………
From a distance, bursts of saliva-inducing fragrance floated...
"This, the taste of steamed buns..."
Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Liu Shiba praised.
But then, Liu Shiba wrinkled his nose and added oddly:
"The smell of green onions is so fragrant! Did you guess it wrong? It's Hanamaki..."
Inside the big tent, the lights are brightly lit, and it is noisy and no one knows what is going on inside. From time to time, you can hear the old driver’s shouts:
"Here, take this!"
"Well, move over there..."
"You, the baggage is dead, it's dead, you're going to eat the dirt if it's spilled."
"Hurry! Dinner is about to be served. Is it ready?"
Liu Shiba listened attentively and thought with a smile about how the old driver was so busy that his feet didn't even touch the ground...
There is actually no way around this!
A group of them passed through a strange timeline, but they didn't expect to actually arrive in the Warring States Period.
But the trick is that they all lost their original strong abilities. Only Meng Tianfang, the forty-seven of them, still had the brute strength to barely protect themselves.
Therefore, Liu Shiba is very determined now. Now that he has this golden opportunity to take over the Takeda family, he must make good use of it.
"Wow!"
The curtain was opened, and the old driver, whose face was dark and sweaty, rushed to Liu Shiba and said with a smile:
"Boss! It's time to start dinner."
"I know, how do you plan to arrange it? Ergou said there is a surprise?"
Liu Shiba smiled and stepped forward, patting the old driver on the shoulder.
"Hey! It's okay. I wanted to show some privileges, so I separated the food for soldiers and generals and retainers, including auxiliary soldiers. That can also win over people's hearts, do you think?"
The old driver smiled sinisterly.
"Okay! Just do whatever you say. In fact, I think so too."
Liu Shiba nodded, and looked at each other with a tacit understanding and smiled at the old driver.
"Master Nobubo Baba, Master Masayuki Sanada, you two have to work harder. You are responsible for gathering all the retainers and generals from the ashigaru headquarters. Together with the auxiliary soldiers, they will all gather on the left and line up to receive food."
Liu Shiba turned around and said to Baba Nobuka and Sanada Nobumasa.
"ha!"
Baba Nobuka and Sanada Masayuki looked at each other and agreed at the same time.
Liu Shiba looked at Meng Tianfang again and ordered:
"Yamamoto Tenfang leads the bodyguards of the headquarters and distributes rations to each soldier one by one. No deductions are allowed."
"yes!"
Meng Tianfang responded with a smile, and then said doubtfully:
"I wonder how much quantity, type, etc. are given to each soldier? How can they be distributed separately?"
Liu Shiba was stunned when he heard this and looked at the smiling old driver!
The veteran driver approached Liu Shiba and Meng Tianfang and chuckled:
"I found a lot of wild onions and peppercorns in the wild, and I also killed a few dying war horses, which was enough to make a delicious meal."
Liu Shiba and Meng Tianfang swallowed their saliva at the same time and said angrily:
"Say it quickly!"
The old driver chuckled, raised his right hand, stretched out three fingers, then bent his middle finger and said:
"First, each of the old useless soldiers and auxiliary soldiers will be given a large white steamed bun.
Because there is too little baking powder and not enough time to grind manually, the steamed buns are only about half the size of a bamboo hat, and each weighs more than half a catty.
Each ashigaru can also get a bowl of hot horse meat soup with green chopped green onion sprinkled on top, but there is no meat inside... tsk tsk!"
"Gudong!"
Liu Shiba swallowed a mouthful of saliva, the steamed buns from the Warring States Period?
My mouth is watering just thinking about it...
Meng Tianfang, who had also lived with Liu Shiba in modern times for a short time, heard this and said angrily:
"By the time you finish speaking, I will starve to death..."
"Tell me quickly...all the Ma Dan auxiliary soldiers eat so well?"
Liu Shiba also urged.
The old driver proudly bent his ring finger and said with a smile:
"The soldiers who can fight, that is, there are only about 700 young ashigaru after selection, plus 300 red cavalry. Each person is given a large flower roll with green onions on the dough and salt flowers inside.
They also brought a bowl of fragrant horse meat soup, with a large piece of meaty horse bone in the soup."
Liu Shiba said angrily:
"Labour, you said I'm hungry..."
"Hahaha! Now I can prove myself. Not only can I repair modern ordnance, aircraft and tanks, but I can also be good at solving problems."
The old driver laughed.
Liu Shiba and Meng Tianfang stared at the old driver with bulging eyes, speechless...
Seeing that Liu Shiba looked wrong, the old driver immediately curled his little finger and explained:
"The generals and retainers each have a small steamed bun worth 2 taels, plus a small flower roll, and two scallion pancakes deep-fried in clear oil and covered with chives.
The pancakes are as big as a plate, and of course they come with a full bowl of thick soup with horse bones and horse meat..."
"Well, are you going to let them eat it and don't want to go home?"
Meng Tianfang said with a silly smile.
Liu Shiba pointed at himself and said angrily:
"What about me? What are we, a bunch of unlucky brothers, going to eat..."
The old driver grinned and said:
"It's the same as the generals and retainers, what else? A few more pieces of horse meat are enough to make this. It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice..."
Outside the enclosed canteen tent, three thousand hungry soldiers with green eyes were staring at the steaming, fragrant tent, with saliva dripping from their mouths...
The military generals and retainers of the Takeda family are no exception, their expressions are no different from those of soldiers!
They, the Takeda family, have never had a half-full meal since Kofu sent out troops. Food in the army is too tight, and they are really hungry...
Every day I just eat a small plate of pickles, a piece of cold dough, or rice soaked in cold water and swallow it all with gusto!
They have never smelled such a rich and intoxicating fragrance in their lives...
The new head of the Takeda family ordered a new type of military food specially prepared by someone. What kind of food is it?
So mysterious...
The answer to the mystery was instantly revealed with a shocking shout from veteran driver Tomson...
"Takeda Army, let's eat!"
