The cooking team filtered the soy milk through a fine mesh and added saccharin when filling it into iron buckets. Very sweet. The officers and soldiers loved this soy milk. As for why white sugar is not included, it is because it is too expensive, saccharin is cheap and the dosage is small.
Yang Fan has always been frugal and careful about waste. With such a large family fortune, the amount of waste is astronomical. I don’t know how many people in this world still ask for a meal but can’t get it.
No food can be wasted in this day and age. The filtered bean dregs are not allowed to be thrown away.
There are two options, one is mixed with white flour and baked into crispy and sweet bean dregs cake. There is another way of eating that is more popular among officers and soldiers. Mix the tofu residue with washed and chopped green onions and sprinkle with salt and chili oil. It is super delicious.
As for why it’s green onions instead of green onions, that’s because the green onions are used by the cooking class for stir-frying and won’t be given to them. This extra way to eat is not included in the supply and is an extra product of the cooking class. All the general bannermen came to the cooking team begging for a basin with licking their faces.
Although this thing looks like it is recycled waste, it contains a lot of protein.
While Tie Zhongtang asked the medical soldier to wrap up the wound on his arm, he joked with Wang Tou, the leader of the cooking team.
"I said, Lao Wang, you can't just shout, your beard mixed with tofu must be served to our general flag."
As soon as Tie Zhongtang's words came out, the officers and soldiers immediately started booing. Meals in the army are fixed, and if there is extra food, everyone will be very excited.
Lao Wangtou put down his tobacco pipe and watched his soldiers pour soy milk and distribute fried dough sticks to Tiezhongtang's general banner. He said with a smile: "I knew you would ask for it from me, Tietou. Don't worry, I'll keep it for you." .”
In addition to the fried dough sticks, there are also freshly baked naan pancakes, which are also very delicious when they are hot out of the oven, but luckily everyone likes the fried dough sticks. In this era of lack of fat, fried food can drive them crazy.
After Yang Fan controlled a large area of land in Mongolia, he began to plant a large amount of soybeans. Because a large number of horses are raised, a large amount of bean cakes are needed for feed. Soybean cake made from soybean oil is a very good and highly nutritious horse feed. Bean cake and modernly bred high-protein alfalfa are Yang Fan's main horse feed.
Now he has no shortage of soybean oil. Various soy products such as tofu, dried tofu skin, tofu curd, soy milk, spiced tofu rolls, and yuba are all on the market. If there is not enough meat, plant protein cannot be lacking.
And another advantage of soybeans is that they can be planted in rotation with food crops. This kind of thing can fix nitrogen and improve the fertility of the land.
Seeing the soldiers working as ferociously as the reincarnated evil spirits, Yang Fan felt a sense of satisfaction. It's the same at any time, eating well equals fighting power. It seems that the research and development of field cooking trucks is definitely on the right track. A variety of stir-fries, rice, steamed buns, steamed buns, and even fried foods are available anytime and anywhere.
The hand-cranked dumpling machine can even supply dumplings to the entire army.
Yang Fan can quickly gather the morale of the military. On the one hand, he always ensures that military pay is paid out on time and in full, and discipline is strictly, fairly and impartially enforced. Also, eat well. Such an army has never been found in this era. There are too many people who want to enter the Beijing camp now. They are all looking forward to His Majesty recruiting troops again. ….
The officers and soldiers who were pulled down here are resting and eating. The front of the second general flag continued to advance. Reached the position of the first general flag.
The Mongols who were forced to retreat did not stop until they retreated under the city wall.
Yang Fan looked at it, signaled, and after an hour of fighting, slowly retreated.
At this time, the Mongols no longer dared to surround and fight. The artillery behind gave them a great shock.
Wu Ya'er Huntaiji looked at it for a while, and realized that the losses in the first battle were huge. There were dead bodies everywhere and more than 3,000 casualties. The shield formation of the Ming army was very difficult to break through.
Dasa Huang Taiji also had a severe headache. He turned around and asked, "My dear brother, what can you Alxa warriors do in face of this situation?"
Wu Ya'er Huntaiji thought for a long time and said, "There is a way to break their shield formation."
Daza's eyes immediately shone and he asked hurriedly: "What can I do?"
"First, you can use flail to break the shield formation."
Dasa immediately became excited
, yes, why didn’t I think of that? A flail has an iron chain attached to it, and when swung, it can hit the person behind the shield. Very good. This kind of wheat threshing tool is also available in Guihua City. The water and grass here are abundant and suitable for agriculture. The Tumut people here are semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral, and they also grow some wheat.
However, the Mongols should not expect meticulous workmanship. They used sticks to poke holes, sprinkled wheat seeds, and then stepped on them with their feet. After that there is no after.
There is no such thing as weeding, fertilizing and irrigating. After sowing the seeds, he went nomadic to other places. In autumn, they will come back to see if the wheat they planted has been eaten by wild donkeys and gazelles. If not, they will harvest the rest.
This is the true meaning of relying on the sky to make a living, and harvesting everything depends on Tengger.
Guihua City can harvest hundreds of thousands of catties of wheat every year. After all, there is too much land here. It can grind hundreds of thousands of kilograms of flour. Used to feed nobles. Flail is necessary for threshing wheat. He has many such tools.
Although he had an idea, Daza continued to ask: "Great, my brother, this is a great idea, so what is the second way?" Daza asked with greedy little eyes shining.
Wu Ya'er Huntaiji said lightly: "I discovered a secret. The reason why these shields cannot be pushed down must be because they are supported by sticks behind them. We have entered a misunderstanding. Since they cannot be pushed down backwards, then Just pull it forward and you will be able to pull it down."
Daza was dumbfounded and pulled back. "How do you pull this back?"
Contempt flashed in Wu Ya'er Huntaiji's eyes, Tumut was the leader, why are some brainless wastes now the commanders.
"What we Mongolians are best at is roping horses and lassoing. Let the cavalry rush up, throw the lasso, and then ten people on horseback drag them backwards, and they can knock down these shields."
Daza suddenly realized why he hadn't thought of it.
"My brothers, you people in the east have been in peace for too long and have forgotten many valuable experiences passed down by Genghis Khan. Although the armor worn by the Ming army is strange, it is nothing new. This kind of armor is called plate A was invented by the Semu people in the far west of the mainland. It was encountered by the descendants of Genghis Khan during their Western expedition."
It was the first time Daza heard that the Mongols had encountered this kind of armor on the battlefield hundreds of years ago. He immediately asked anxiously: "My dearest brother, tell me about Genghis Khan's army back then. How did you defeat these iron-clad infantry?".
