Chapter 42 Muyao Night!Crisis lurks!
It was almost noon now, and it was time for Qingzhou soldiers to have lunch.

Jiang Chen summoned dozens of men.

The leader is the "big head, thick neck" naive cook who was in the car formation earlier, but now he has "one-man attained the Tao, chicken and dog ascended to heaven", taking advantage of Jiang Chen's shareholding style, he has become the youngest cook among the many cooks. leader.

Jiang Chen took a pen and paper, wrote a recipe, gave it to many cooks, and demonstrated it himself, and made dozens of sesame seed cakes, one piece for each person.

After eating the biscuits, all the chefs were shocked and shouted:

"Master Jiang, I want to learn how to make scones!"

soon.

Many cooks were full of joy, and learned the skill of baking cakes from Jiang Chen, and all the cooks were responsible for using wooden pestles and stone mortars to pound rice and shell it.

But at this time.

The businessman Yi Qiu suddenly made a suggestion:
"My lord, there is no need to crush it with huge stones. There is a stone mill brought from the mainland in the city. It is mainly used to make soybean flour. It is a military tool used by Loulan horses to fatten up these years. I am thinking, maybe... it can also be used to crush wheat. grain."

Hear this.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"David has many craftsmen, and has been grinding stones for a long time, but he grows very little wheat, and prefers rice and corn;

Although there is a lot of wheat in the Western Regions, the technology is backward. So far, more advanced grain processing tools such as stone mills have been obtained.

In other words.

It is only one step away from the invention of pasta flour by the people of the Western Regions.

Even without my presence, in more than ten years, the title of inventor of flour will still fall to someone from the Western Regions who has a fantastic idea... I was just lucky to be half a step ahead! "

Thinking room.

The Qingzhou soldiers had already obtained the stone mill and crushed a large amount of husked wheat grains into powder. They divided labor and cooperated with each other, and soon made a full sixty baskets of sesame seed cakes, weighing about 360 catties.

Jiang Chen thought for a few seconds, and decided to get word of mouth from the familiar "Abin Hundred Generals" first, and then sent a dozen civilians to deliver all sixty baskets of sesame seed cakes to Feng Lebin and more than sixty Qingzhou soldiers under his command.

at first.

The soldiers who ate too much wheat and rice complained one after another, hoping that the cooks could get some rice. If there was no rice, they could get some chestnut rice.

They really don't want to take another bite of wheat rice, their cheeks hurt.

but--

Military pawns' need for food is three times that of ordinary people, and their stomachs are hungry very fast.

In just a cup of tea, Feng Lebin took the lead in eating the first piece of sesame seed cake,
then,

The second piece, the third piece, the fourth piece...

Many Qingzhou soldiers were stunned, watching their generals eat a whole basket of sesame seed cakes, and even turned their eyes wildly, looking at the sesame seed cakes in other people's hands.

Immediately.

Even a fool can see that this yellow-orange "Maifan" is definitely not simple!
All the soldiers scrambled to be the first, picked up sesame seed cakes, put them into their mouths, swallowed them, and immediately felt a strong sense of satisfaction, and said one after another:
"This is much better than the hard wheat rice I've eaten in the past few days!"

“Very fresh and very delicious!”

"Brothers, I found a new way to eat. I just broke open a gap in the biscuit, and put all the leftover meat from yesterday's meal into it. It's delicious in the world!"

After all sixty baskets of biscuits were eaten and wiped clean, Feng Lebin patted his stomach, wanting to praise the deliciousness of the biscuits, but he had no education, so he could only praise:
"good to eat!"

A soldier was still not satisfied, and asked, "When will you have dinner?"

Feng Lebin responded angrily:

"At night, you can have dinner!"

There were also soldiers who laughed and suggested: "General, take us to inspect the civilian husband's camp."

A word to wake up the dreamer!
Without the slightest hesitation, Feng Lebin immediately took more than [-] Qingzhou soldiers and ran straight to the civilian husband's camp.

…………

Minfu camp.

Feng Lebin and more than [-] Qingzhou soldiers rushed to the gate of the camp and shouted:

"Jiang Baijiang, where are the cakes? I want to eat cakes!"

Jiang Chen laughed loudly and waved his hand:
"Come here, feed Abin some cake!"

As the saying goes, if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach, but to Jiang Chen's surprise, the delicacy that finally became popular among Qingzhou soldiers was not sesame seed cakes, but——

burn!cake!folder!Meat!
Jiang Chen tried to name it "Roujiamo".

But unfortunately, it failed.

Most Qingzhou soldiers did not recognize this name, and retorted one after another:

"Obviously it's sesame seed cake with meat, why is it called Roujiamo?"

Jiang Chen: "..."

soon.

More than 100 Qingzhou soldiers in the city have become fans of sesame seed cakes.

That night, more than 100 soldiers were holding "roujiamo" in their hands, chatting and beating with other comrades.

These strange incidents quickly attracted the attention of Captain Zhang Ying. After tasting the biscuits himself, he immediately came to a conclusion:
"This thing can be used as military rations!"

…………

The next morning.

Fan Liangshan led the oxen and horses and brought Jiang Chen a full thirteen or four bags of glutinous rice, greatly speeding up the construction of the granary.

Chen Buxie made a rough calculation, at most sixteen or seven days later, the inspection and acceptance of the project can be completed.

After all, the granary itself was rebuilt on the basis of Bushan Courtyard, and it did not start from scratch. It is much faster than the speed of general building repairs.

Jiang Chen stood in front of the granary gate and asked:

"Uncle, is there any way to speed up the construction of the granary?"

Chen Buxie licked the pickled cabbage-flavored pebbles, thought for a moment, and responded:

"Tiles, there is a shortage of tiles in the camp at present. They can either be removed from the tops of other houses, or they can only be fired slowly."

The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth rose slightly, and thoughts of whoring for nothing appeared in his heart. He raised his eyes to look at Fan Liangshan's retreating back, and shouted hastily:

"Brother Fan, please stay."

"?"

Fan Liangshan slowly put out a question mark, a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart, and he instinctively took half a step back.

…………

In the next few days, Fan Liangshan seemed to experience a nightmare in his life.

Whenever he heard Jiang Chen call "Brother Fan" cordially, his legs couldn't help shivering, and he cursed viciously in his heart:

"He's his mother!"

"You son of a bitch, do you really think we are your brothers?"

In just three days, Jiang Chen borrowed tung oil, tiles, beams, various tools and other things from him on the grounds of building a granary, with a total value of nearly 400 taels.

He even borrowed some Qingzhou soldiers under his command to use as coolies.

When Fan Liangshan bought antique calligraphy and paintings at a low price, he only made about 250 taels of silver from Jiang Chen. This time, not only did he lose all of them, he also took an extra 130 taels.

Jiang Chen couldn't help giving a thumbs up, and praised in public:

"Brother Fan, you are really the number one man in the world~"

Every word of this sentence is like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into Fan Liangshan's heart, it hurts, it hurts too much!

"Damn stupid thing, how could you treat brother like this! Good guy? I think he is the number one stupid idiot in the world?!"

"I have become a prostitute, and I will give you whoring for free!"

"He's his mother!"

Fan Liangshan was furious, and when he returned to the camp, he was so angry that he broke his beloved teapot, but for a while, he had nothing to do with Jiang Chen, he could only endure it.

The reason is quite simple.

Before the ghosts dissipated, he really couldn't find the three-year-old white-bearded cricket. This thing is not expensive, but it is extremely rare. This is the main reason why there are so few scavengers.

therefore.

The scavenger medicinal property in Jiang Chen's body is really the only part of Scorpion Lababa.

"Wait, wait until the night of Muyao, I want you to spit out everything you eat!"

Fan Liangshan showed a ferocious face, and said coldly:
"When the time comes, I'll let you see it again. You are the number one man in the world, and 'Brother Fan' is amazing!"
