Zhu Zhu left as fast as he could return home, and took a boat from Nanyuan via Yongding River to Ji Canal to visit his family.
His family has moved to the vicinity of the racecourse, where each of the fifteen military households who were formerly members of the 100-household settlement in Ranshitan has been allocated 100 acres of land.
All the money Zhu Zhu earned in the past few years has been remitted back to his family. The family built a new house and saved a dowry for my sister. My sister is eleven years old, and in three or four years she will have to live with her in-laws.
There is Xinghe Bank in Zunhua, and there is also a small branch in the racecourse. After all, the cavalry teaching regiment is stationed here, and the number of residents here exceeds 10,000.
At this time, meal was already being served in full swing in the military camp.
A group of 100 people take turns coming up to get food. Yang Fan gave them small stainless steel basins, which were the cheapest, costing one yuan each. The soldiers prepared rice one by one in front of fifty large noodle pots according to their own battalion heads.
The noodles that had just come out of the pot were picked into the basin by Huotoujun's long kuaizi. Then add the meat sauce simmering with oil, and it will make your mouth water just looking at it.
Yang Fan also took a pot and tasted it. It felt very fragrant and he ate it with satisfaction.
Seeing that the commander was eating the same thing as them, the officers and soldiers felt that something was touched in their hearts. A warm feeling spread throughout my body. There is a lump in the throat.
They knew that the commander was checking the work of the Huotou Army.
The commander-in-chief has provided such good materials. If they don't cook well, the commander-in-chief will definitely give them a military stick. The commander himself would eat this stuff, but the Huotou Army would not dare to do it. You must try your best to make it taste good and satisfy the boss.
Seeing the snow-white noodles being picked into their iron basins, the officers and soldiers were trembling with excitement. White flour is not something ordinary people can afford, and ordinary people only eat some grains.
If you can eat enough grains, it will be a good day. Not to mention the fat and grease.
Here in the Ming Dynasty, fat meat is more popular than lean meat because they are too lacking in fat.
The camp was filled with the sound of Xi Li snoring and eating noodles. After you finish eating, you can go get some food. However, one hundred people must be rotated for scale. Otherwise it can easily cause confusion.
Because there are so many people, it often takes half an hour for another meal opportunity.
Everyone, as if they didn't know they were full, kept eating, and their bellies were bulging.
After cooking the noodles many times, the noodle soup becomes thicker. I had to change the water and continue cooking. All the noodle soup that was replaced was drank up. There is salt on the noodles, which brings flavor to these noodle soups.
Salt in the Ming Dynasty was very expensive. These soldiers usually drank porridge, and occasionally ate boiled water spinach as a vegetable. Even when stewing a large pot, they would not add a few grains of salt. Birds popped out of his mouth.
These distinctly salty noodle soups were a hit and sold out quickly. Those who didn't grab it sighed as if they had suffered a big loss.
Huotoujun was exhausted. This was the first time he let go of his food and had unlimited meals. Their legs cramped when carrying water.
The feast lasted from two o'clock in the afternoon until dark. Zhou Yuji hurriedly came to Yang Fan and asked for an order to stop.
These people haven't seen oil and water in several years. My eyes are red now and I'm trying to eat as hard as I can to make sure a few of them die.
Yang Fan felt sour in his heart. He said to the soldiers: "I don't know what will happen to you in the future. However, I will take you for one day and I will let you all have enough to eat. Don't eat anymore today. Stop collecting food immediately."
"Now, everyone listen to my order, immediately form a team, walk around the school grounds three times, and then go back to sleep." Yang Fan ordered. "Tomorrow night, make braised pork with fat meat, three taels of fat meat slices per person, and eat white rice as staple food."
The words just fell. Suddenly the soldiers of the three armies cheered.
White rice and braised pork, these are good things that I haven’t had in years.
After Yang Fan decided to take over the logistics of these 50,000 people today, he contacted Yaoguang. Let her organize steamships to transport rice and various supplies.
The steamboat is powerful and the reverse current is very fast. It will be enough to get here at noon tomorrow.
There are more than a dozen large lakes in Nanyuan. It is connected to the Yongding River, and the water depth is more than three meters, so it can be transported directly by water. Nanyuan was originally the old course of Yongding River during the Tang Dynasty. Later, after the Yongding River changed its course, it became a place with dense lakes and numerous wild animals like Haidian.
Since the Jin Dynasty, it has been used as a hunting ground and palace for the royal family. Because the Yongding River passes through the garden, large lakes and swamps are formed, with lush vegetation and gathering of animals and elk. Nanyuan is also known as "Nanhaizi". It was a royal hunting ground in the Yuan Dynasty and was known as "dismounting horses and flying to the park" in history.
In the Ming Dynasty, the river channel was dredged here and connected to the Yongding River. Water transportation has also become more convenient. The emperor hunted and summered here. Palaces and gardens were built. By the mid-Ming Dynasty, because there was no money to maintain it, it had been turned into a vegetable garden and a military barracks. Many eunuchs who had fallen from power were assigned to grow vegetables here.
There is also a stone pier built during the Xuanzong era, which was originally used to dock the emperor's painting boat. Now it has long been abandoned, leaving only the stone pier base.
This was a suitable place for berthing a fleet of steam ships. Yang Fan built a temporary warehouse here with bamboo poles and stored the transported materials here.
Now that Yang Fan has taken over, he won't cause trouble.
Without good nutrition, training intensity will not increase at all. These people have been malnourished for a long time, and after all, their bodies cannot bear it. Large amounts of exercise are supported by high-calorie foods. Otherwise, the soldiers will only be physically damaged.
The steamer fleet arrived at noon the next day.
The officers and soldiers were excitedly organized to unload the ship, and two hundred kilograms of rice were transported into the warehouse. There are also jars of soybean oil. Bean cakes for horses. There was even a ship carrying 50,000 sets of old-fashioned camouflage uniforms, belts, and rubber shoes.
These camouflage uniforms are very sturdy and suitable for training wear.
Many of the clothes of these veterans from the Beijing camp were in bad condition. When the range of motion is large, it is torn apart.
Especially the Yuanyang War Jacket, the latest one is more than ten years old. The fabrics were in ruins, and the iron mesh inside was corroded and broken. If you're not careful, you'll get stuck.
These military uniforms were so rancid and smelly that I dared not wash them, and they were ruined as soon as they were washed. Just this outfit, I wear it for daily drills and inspections by superior officers. How dare you break it. If it becomes tattered after being washed, there is no need to wear it.
These officers and soldiers don't take showers all year round. All kinds of small animals are crawling around their bodies, and their skin is black.
Yang Fan frowned as he looked at it. This is not possible, as it can easily lead to the spread of diseases. With so many people gathering together, an infectious disease outbreak is no joke.
Yang Fan called Zhang Cheng over and explained everything. The soldiers went down to work.
They built the bathing shed with ease. The bathtub was finished with woven plastic sheeting. Five hundred soldiers replaced the tired and paralyzed fire-headed soldiers and began to boil water.
The officers and soldiers looked at the commander's soldiers in wonder as they were busy. They had just finished eating. What were they doing? Do you want to have dinner again?
Soon new orders came that everyone must take a shower in the afternoon.
