The food standards in the main canteen of Liangshan Village were definitely at the level of landlords and squires in this era...
In the large cafeteria near Zhongyi Hall, Lu Zhishen and Shi En each carried a wooden plate with a large bowl of noodles on it, as well as three dishes, one soup and four hard dishes.
The aroma of vegetables lingered on the tip of his nose. Lu Zhishen hurriedly found an empty seat and sat down. He took a deep breath and laughed: "It's better to stay here in Liangshan. It's not as good as in the army just to eat!"
While talking, he picked up a piece of fat and golden pork belly, stuffed it into his mouth and ate it happily.
"This is natural. The conditions here in our village are much better than those in the frontline army!"
Shi En followed and enjoyed it. Although he did not take turns to transport logistics supplies with the army, he still knew the standard of food in the army, and his face was full of indescribable happiness.
While he was talking, Lu Zhishen had already finished a bowl of noodles, and went to the cooking window to order a bowl of miscellaneous sauce noodles. He picked up a salted duck egg and stirred it into the noodles. He chuckled and said, "It's a pity that there is no wine, otherwise it would be more moist!"
"Come on, the officials strictly ordered you to drink in the dining hall!"
Shi En was hungry and wiped out all the food and noodles on the plate like a whirlwind. Then he put down his bowls and chopsticks and said with a smile: "Master, if you want to drink, go to the commercial street and buy it yourself. The big canteen will not provide it here!"
"
"Oh, the officials are too harsh here!"
"I only know that drinking can cause trouble. Besides, the only thing we supply in the back camp is fruit wine. I'm afraid everyone is not used to drinking it!"
"Why don't you start selling some alcohol? It's a huge profit!"
"The high officials talk about saving food, but on the contrary, there are mountains and mountains of wild fruits outside, and there are a lot of materials for making fruit wine and sherbet!"
"But the fruit wine doesn't taste strong enough!"
"I can't control this. Is it possible that the master didn't get the consumption coupons in the back camp? These things can be used in restaurants and wine shops on the mountain!"
"Oh, the Sa family thought it was of no use and they were all given to their own personal guards!"
"Then, Master, let's eat in the canteen from now on. As the leader of the rear camp, you don't have to spend money, but you have to sit in a nearby military camp and complete the designated training goals!"
"You are really stingy. The Sa family is short of consumer coupons. Can't you borrow some? It's not like I won't pay you back in the future!"
"Come on, master, the consumption coupons issued internally by Houying can buy a lot of good things that you can't buy outside. I am saving them now to use them in the future, but I don't have any extra to lend to you!"
Talking and laughing, after finishing a meal, there was fish, meat, chicken, duck and goose eggs. As long as you can eat, you can choose whatever you want, which will satisfy Lu Zhishen, a big-bellied man.
While picking his teeth and walking out of the cafeteria, Lu Zhishen said with some confusion: "Speaking of which, the Sa family has also eaten in the Houying cafeteria. Why are there not as many tricks as before?"
Shi En burped and asked with a smile: "Master, do you mean the richness of the dishes?"
"No, Sajia is asking where the canteen has a sufficient supply of meat and eggs?"
Lu Zhishen said angrily: "You are allowed to eat freely. You must know that all the guys who have practiced martial arts are big-bellied. If you really want to eat freely, even if you have gold and silver, you can't support it!"
Monk Hua is both thick and thin, but I observed carefully when he was eating. The seats in the big dining hall were at least 80% full, and there were enough thousands of people eating at the same time.
All of them are young and strong men with strong muscles and bones. When they eat, they eat like a bottomless pit. They rarely only eat one or two bowls, but basically start with three bowls of various noodles.
This way of eating consumes so much grain, meat and eggs that just thinking about it makes me feel dizzy. This is what puzzles Lu Zhishen the most.
When did Liangshan Village become so wealthy?
If the soldiers fighting in the front camp in Huaixi were informed, the camp would be blown up on the spot. Everyone wants to live a good and peaceful life.
The current Liangshan Village is definitely living a good life in terms of food standards.
"Master, I don't know, but the breeding farms established by Daguan people on several other small islands have begun to bear fruit!"
"If nothing else, there will be no shortage of pork for a long time, and there will also be no shortage of chickens, ducks and goose eggs!"
"Not only that, the renovated villages near Shuibo also have a large area for raising pigs, cattle, sheep, and chickens, ducks and geese. Once the villagers get started, at least Liangshan Village will not be short of meat and egg supply!"
"As for the problem that all the brothers in the rear camp are pot-bellied men, I also know something about it. If you participate in normal military training, the large cafeteria provides two meals for lunch and dinner. Normally, you need to use consumer coupons to exchange for food!"
"The consumption coupons are not free. They are given out as part of the brothers' wages. They can be used as money in our back camp's sphere of influence!"
"So, from now on, you'd better keep the coupons issued by the Business Office carefully, otherwise you won't have money to spend on drinks!"
Lu Zhishen was dumbfounded for a while, and said funnyly: "You guys are just talking about it. Our back camp has produced consumer coupons. Is it just for internal circulation and can't be used outside?"
"That's not true!"
Shi En smiled and said: "Every merchant that has a good relationship with our Liangshan Village or has business dealings with us will basically accept the consumption coupons issued by the back camp!"
"At least in the Liangshan area, the credit of consumer coupons is very good, and they can be spent as money!"
"Aren't you afraid that someone will imitate you?"
Based on his own understanding, Lu Zhishen said curiously: "It's about money. It's not difficult to understand that a young person would take risks!"
hehe……
Shi En chuckled, took out a coupon representing a hundred dollars from his pocket, handed it directly to Lu Zhishen and said with a smile: "Master, if you look at this coupon carefully, you will understand!"
Lu Zhishen looked puzzled. He took the simple coupon and looked at it carefully for a while, but found nothing.
"Pay close attention and don't let any of your thoughts leak out!"
Shi En's voice sounded next to him, and Lu Zhishen subconsciously took a closer look, and it didn't take long before he discovered something unusual.
The consumption coupon is a long strip of paper about the size of a palm, with a hundred words written on one side, and two large ridges on the back, plus a few other patterns and fonts, and a seal. It can be said to be extremely crude.
If this is counterfeited by outsiders, there is no need to worry about being caught.
But now, Lu Zhishen looked carefully, and next to the font of "One Hundred Wen", a number '100' suddenly appeared with a faint halo.
Lu Zhishen only learned about it more than half a year ago. These are so-called Arabic numerals. The numeral writing method passed over from the Western Regions is quite convenient and easy to understand.
Silk……
When he saw the glowing numbers, he subconsciously took a breath of cold air. As a result, his eyes blurred when he was distracted, and the glowing numbers that were shining so brightly just now disappeared.
"How is this going?"
If he paid close attention, he could see the glowing numbers again. Lu Zhishen was shocked and couldn't help but ask: "This method is really amazing!"
"I heard that the anti-counterfeiting mark was created based on the rune making method!"
Shi En took back the coupons, ignored Lu Zhishen's longing eyes, and exclaimed in surprise: "It was the first time I saw someone before, and I was quite surprised!"
"With such anti-counterfeiting measures, any asshole who dares to counterfeit consumer coupons might not think that his life is too long, right?"
In fact, as soon as consumer coupons appeared on the market, there were some imitators trying to make a fortune by fishing in troubled waters.
Then, if they are caught on the spot while consuming, the consequences will not be to kill them directly, but to be sent to the mines for labor reform, which takes ten years as a unit.
It is said that a being who has cultivated "mana" has no problem in counterfeiting consumer coupons. But with such a powerful being, there is no need for such a dirty means to make money. The official family of the Song Dynasty provided a lot of offerings.
Positions are waiting.
Lu Zhishen quickly came to his senses, thought clearly about the joints, and couldn't help but sigh: "The official is so capable..."
Chai Daguan's ability was indeed beyond Lu Zhishen's expectations.
After parting ways with Shi En, who was busy with other tasks, Lu Zhishen consciously stayed in a nearby military camp for the entire afternoon, directing and training the rear camp brothers in the military camp.
It has to be said that the brothers in the rear camp who have practiced hard skills in the military have much stronger physical fitness than ordinary strong men. There is no need to worry about problems when practicing. Just rely on large training volume, as long as it does not exceed the limit.
.
When the brothers in the military camp train, they all wear special training plate armor. Although it is not as heavy as the 100 kilograms of infantry armor, it is not light at 30 kilograms.
In Lu Zhishen's opinion, it can definitely participate in battle as a heavy armor, and its defensive power is not weak at all.
Because he ate free meals in the cafeteria every day, according to regulations, Lu Zhishen had to sit in a military camp in the village to supervise the brothers' drills. After half a month of boring life, he finally waited until the financial department once again spent money worth ten dollars.
Voucher.
He immediately patted his ass and left. Of course, he had already spoken to the officer on duty in the military camp when he left. Naturally, other leaders would come over to supervise the brothers' training.
This guy couldn't wait to board Liangshan's homemade passenger ship. He immediately left Liangshan's main village and came to the hotel opened by Zhu Gui, where he directly ordered a jar of wine.
Under the dumbfounded gazes of other diners and the hotel waiter, I downed half a jar of water and wine in one gulp, and then I laughed out loud and contentedly: "Haha, it's really fun. I must drink enough today!"
"Master, why do you have time to come to the shop to have a drink today?"
Zhu Gui quickly came over with a small wine bottle, sat down and asked with a smile: "Looking at the master, it seems that he hasn't drank for a long time. Isn't there no wine to drink on the mountain?"
"Yes, there are, but they are all bland fruit wine!"
Lu Zhishen took another sip of wine and said angrily: "The Sa family didn't know the situation before, so they gave all the coupons in their hands to the guards. As a result, they had no money and could only hang out in the cafeteria...
