Lin Jue himself also personally participated in the research and preparation of military supplies. He even mobilized his wife, concubines, young and old to make a kind of military food called convenient dry food. These days, when people travel far away, in addition to staying in hotels and eating, many times
They all carry their own dry food. Just like when Lin Jue took part in the Spring and Autumn Festivals, he brought the flour cakes made by Green Dance. But for large-scale military expeditions, in addition to carrying grains such as rice and noodles, and burying pots to make rice,
There must also be more portable and easier-to-eat dry food as rations for rapid and intensive operations. The dry food of the Luoyan Army and even the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty are similar. Generally, they are fried rice and noodles, which are easy to carry and not easy to spoil when eaten.
Food. If the treatment is good, dried meat and other items will be rationed to increase the nutrition of the soldiers. But most of the time, luxuries such as dried meat are not available.
Fried rice and fried noodles are easy to eat, but they don't taste good and are not nutritious. Eating these things for several days in a row is simply a kind of torture. Such dry food has no vegetable ingredients at all, and it just plays the role of filling the stomach.
Therefore, dry food in the army is the food that soldiers are most afraid of eating. However, during intensive battles, there is no chance for soldiers to bury pots and make rice. In mobile warfare, there is no room for any delay, so although it is unpalatable,
But it's essential.
Lin Juesi thinks that taste is secondary, and the key is insufficient nutrition, which greatly affects combat effectiveness. Soldiers and horses must go ahead with food and grass before they move, and poor logistics support will have a great impact on the soldiers' combat effectiveness. Since we need to comprehensively improve combat effectiveness,
It was necessary to start with every detail. So Lin Jue mobilized his wife and concubines to use their brains to make dry food that was easy to carry, not easy to spoil, nutritious and delicious.
Everyone in the Lin family naturally participated enthusiastically. Under Lin Jue's guidance, everyone successively produced more than ten kinds of dry food such as compressed flour cakes, dried vegetable rice buns, dry roasted vegetable buns, cooked rice vermicelli, etc. Lin Jue made these foods
Dozens of each type were made and distributed to soldiers in the army to obtain feedback. In the end, three types of dry food received unanimous praise.
The first is to compress sweet dough cakes. This is Green Dance's method. She bakes the dough cakes mixed with sweeteners and then cuts them into pieces. Then they bake them twice over a low fire and compact them with boulders.
The texture of the noodles that come out is firm, golden in color, and the volume is greatly reduced. Although the texture is a bit hard, the taste is sweet and fragrant. Only a piece of noodles as small as dried tofu can fill your stomach. It is very convenient to carry and eat. The disadvantage is that the texture is a bit
It is hard and you need to drink water to replenish your moisture after eating, otherwise you will easily become thirsty.
The second food is Mrs. Fang’s five-color vegetable buns. Mrs. Fang mixes the vegetables with oil and salt seasonings and bakes them into dried vegetables. Then she cuts them into pieces. The method is simple, but the taste of the vegetables is basically preserved. And the dried vegetables can be eaten when exposed to water.
Self-expanding, a piece of dried vegetables as big as dried tofu can be placed in a bowl to absorb water and become a bowl of vegetable soup. Not only can you chew it dry and eat it, you can also make vegetable soup at any time and enjoy the taste of the soup. The disadvantage of this vegetable bag is that it is easy to
It requires special preservation methods, otherwise it will become dried vegetable powder after tossing.
The third food is spiced rice cake. This is the joint idea of the little princess and Cui Yingying. The inspiration comes from
Lin Zhan's taste. Lin Zhan has started to eat porridge and rice. In order to make him eat better, the little princess tried her best to add various things to the porridge and rice. Among them are various lotus seeds, black red beans and other nutritious foods.
Under the guidance of this idea, the little princess and Cui Yingying thought of mixing the gravy and vegetable soup into the rice and cooking it. Then the rice was pounded into rice cakes, and finally cut into pieces of rice cakes. A little common sense
Everyone knows that rice noodles and rice are two different concepts. When a bowl of rice is made into rice cake, its volume will be greatly reduced and it will only become a small ball of rice cake. That is because the space between the rice grains has been completely compressed.
Therefore, the key is that this rice cake is mixed with vegetable soup, gravy and other substances, which makes it delicious and delicate.
Of course, there are also disadvantages. In hot seasons, this kind of rice cake will deteriorate. And although the rice cake is already very resistant to hunger, it will increase a lot of weight if you want to carry rations for many days. Compared with the compressed noodles of Green Dance, it takes
Add more weight and space.
Although the other prepared foods have their own advantages and disadvantages, after comprehensive consideration and personal experience by military generals, these three foods were selected as models for military dry food. In winter and early spring and late autumn when the temperature is lower, spiced rice
Cake is the first choice. Compressed sweet dough cakes and five-color dried vegetable bags can be used all year round. They can be rotated according to the length of the war and the requirements of the season.
To this end, Lin Jue even designed a backpack to carry these dry rations. A multi-pocket, multi-purpose cloth bag around the waist. The equipment that can be divided into categories includes multi-purpose suspenders such as combat equipment, dry rations and water bags.
After wearing it, it also added a sense of bravery, which immediately attracted everyone's praise.
All these things led to a large-scale movement to enhance the combat effectiveness of equipment in the village. From firearms, armor, and horses to logistics, grain transportation, dry food production, and the improvement of footwear, socks, and clothing, everyone worked together to make it a vigorous event.
More than ten days passed quickly. According to the reign of Guo Xu's new dynasty, the New Year of the first year of the Xingguo Period of the Great Zhou Dynasty came soon. There were still many New Year activities in the mountains. In order to create a peaceful and festive atmosphere, Lin Jue invited Gao Muqing and Qin
Chun Cao has made a New Year celebration plan from the first to the fifteenth day of the lunar month. There will be a special New Year event almost every day. The purpose is that everyone in the village can celebrate the festival just like outside.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, led by military and political officials such as Guo Kun and Lin Jue Gao Muqing, senior generals and officials from all over the village launched a "big New Year greeting" activity. The crowd went deep into more than a dozen villages in Luoyan Valley and Jiming Valley to send
A large number of gifts and condolences were given, and people went from house to house to mingle with the common people. The common people rushed to tell each other. Every time they arrived in a village, they lined the streets to welcome him, and the gongs and drums were blasting loudly, and everyone was smiling.
That night, a large-scale party was held in the East Campus. Lin Jue invited Gu Panpan and Chu Xiangxiang to organize this party.
Of course, Lin Jue couldn't let the party in the mountains become a means of displaying sexual skills like the Oiran Competition. What he wanted was a down-to-earth fun with the people, a lively New Year atmosphere, and a celebration between the military and the people.
The peaceful atmosphere of the New Year.
Lin Jue even spent some time to use the lighting and scenery of the Grand Theater.
Although it is far from the specialized methods of the Grand Theater, for a New Year's party in Funiu Mountain, this is just a method to enhance the splendor, not a method to attract customers, so it is not necessary.
To get entangled.
That night, the talents of Gu Panpan, Chu Xiangxiang and others were still amazing. Xie Yingying also made an appearance and sang a piece from The West Chamber to add to the fun. In addition to these programs, there were many other programs performed by the Shanzhai soldiers and civilians themselves. For example, the Luoyan Army soldiers sang a chorus
"I am a Soldier" and "The Military Song of the Falling Goose Army". The funny little play "A Scholar Meets a Soldier" performed by Yang Xiu and Ma Bin was very popular, with constant applause and laughter. Yang Xiu and Ma Bin both played their true colors and received great recognition.
In addition, programs selected by each village were also performed on the stage. Although the programs such as singing folk songs and ditties were not of professional quality, they made the people laugh.
Lin Jue did not prepare a program at first, because Lin Jue felt that it was inappropriate to recite poems and eulogies on such an occasion. Besides pirated poems, he had no talent to contribute. However, at the end of the party, Chu Xiangxiang did not let him go.
, she asked the tens of thousands of people in the audience if they wanted Commander Lin to perform a show, the audience burst into cheers. Lin Jue was about to refuse, but even the young prince Guo Kun and the Lin family's wives and concubines refused, saying
If we refuse at this time, the soldiers and civilians will not be able to return home happily.
Lin Jue was rushed to the stage. Facing the dark and expectant eyes in the audience, Lin Jue felt helpless, but he had to rack his brains. Finally, Lin Jue had no choice but to sing.
A new song "Unity is Strength". This song is positive, full of power, and the melody is simple. Lin Jue only sang it once, and many people were already able to hum along with it. Lin Jue simply struck while the iron was hot, teaching him sentence by sentence.
The whole party attracted everyone, and the whole party ended successfully with the passionate and majestic singing of "Unity is Strength".
Many years later, the soldiers and civilians of Luoyan Valley who attended this party all praised the party and it was unforgettable. They all said that this was the best party they had ever attended, and it was better than any other party they had ever attended.
All banquet parties, singing and dancing performances are a hundred times more exciting. When they said these words, many of them had already become famous and had participated in countless luxurious banquets, but they still remembered the New Year's party in Luoyan Valley.
The cottage temple fair on the second day of the lunar month, the Luoyan River Dragon Boat Race on the third day of the lunar month, the Luoyan Army martial arts competition on the fourth day of the lunar month, the fishing competition at Luoyan Reservoir on the fifth day of the lunar month, the hunting competition on the sixth day of the lunar month, the seventh day of the lunar month...the eighth day of the lunar month...all the way to the Shanzhai Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the Lantern Festival
.The program is different every day, and people enjoy the joy of the beginning of the new year.
It can be said that the entire world of the Great Zhou Dynasty was shrouded in the atmosphere of severe cold, famine, poverty and high pressure. This year's New Year is the most deserted New Year's Day in the Great Zhou Dynasty for more than a hundred years. Luoyan Valley shows a different world from the world outside the mountains.
Scenery. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Luoyan Valley are like a very small number of unusual people among the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They enjoy the New Year and celebrate the festival without worrying about hunger and cold, oppression and injustice. To a certain extent, Luoyan Valley
