Listening to everyone's roar, Li Ke nodded with satisfaction.
After everyone calmed down, Li Ke continued: "Your training will be hard in the future, and I'm not afraid to tell you that your training will cost a lot of money! A lot of money!"
"By the time your training is over, the money I have spent on each of you may be more than if you died in battle and the pensions given to your families. This is why so many people are against it, because in their eyes, you If I die in battle, I’ll just give you a little money, why do I need to spend so much money training you?”
"Isn't it worth the loss? Because in their opinion, it's hard to find three-legged toads in the world, and there are many people with two legs!"
"But I think you are all heroes. I can't let the heroes who shed blood for the Tang Dynasty die in vain! So you fight bloody battles to protect the Tang Dynasty! And the Royal Family of the Tang Dynasty and I will protect you and your families!"
"In order for you to survive as much as possible on the battlefield, your training will be very hard, very hard! Even the training may cost you your life! If you are afraid, you can quit!" Li Ke said loudly.
"Don't be afraid!" "Don't be afraid!" All the soldiers' faces turned red! Scholars die for their confidants. With His Highness who cares about them so much, they have nothing to fear!
"Okay! Let me introduce another group of people to you! Look at them." Li Ke pointed at the many princes and clan members standing there.
After all the soldiers' eyes came over, Li Ke said loudly: "They are all princes and sons of various clans. From today on, they will train with you, eat together, and stay together! Remember, here, they only have One identity, that is, recruits! Their identities as princes will no longer exist! I will treat them all equally!"
"Of course, you!" Li Ke turned to Li Tai and the more than fifty people, and said calmly: "If any of you want to use your power to suppress others, look at me! As long as you think you can suppress me, then It’s up to you.”
"Also, if you can't stand it, I allow you to withdraw, but you are not allowed to show me your rights here, because I, Li Ke, have no rights here!"
"Understand?!"
"Understood!" This time it was Li Tai and the others who said loudly. While agreeing, except for Li You and Li Zhi, the younger princes who were shaken by Li Ke's words, Li Tai all laughed bitterly in his heart. , this... life is difficult.
"Very good! Soldiers, I hope you all remember him. If they can't be this passionate man and feel that they are not men, they can all quit! After all, they are princes, and they live in fine clothes and fine food. Everyone understands! After all, Not every prince is as real a man as your King Qin." Li Ke made a joke and began to close the distance between him and the soldiers.
Sure enough, when Li Ke said this, many soldiers couldn't help laughing. It's okay for His Highness the King of Qin to boast about himself.
Li Tai was a little speechless, third brother, are you so cruel... You can admit anything, but you can't admit that you are not a man!
"Okay, next, I'll show you. You've trained so hard, I won't let you suffer! Come here! Bring supplies!" With a wave of his hand, a messenger behind him knocked on a big drum behind him.
With the sound of drums, carriages were quickly pulled in at the gate of the school ground.
When these carriages pulled in, everyone's eyes widened suddenly, because each carriage was pulling slaughtered pork! It's all meat! Soon, a total of nearly a hundred carriages were driven into the school grounds. Fortunately, the space reserved here was large enough! I can put down another hundred cars.
"Refined lard!" Li Ke said loudly.
The person in charge of logistics over there directly moved the stove and other items from the carriage pulling bricks and large pots at the back. These iron pots were all specially made large iron pots with an opening of one meter in diameter.
Some people here are setting up the stove and setting up the iron pot, while other chefs have already taken knives and started to cut all the pork into one-inch square pieces. After a while, the pork will be thrown directly into the pot to start cooking. Into lard.
At the same time, the pottery jar about half a person's height that had been prepared was also brought over and prepared.
These things had been prepared as early as yesterday. This method of refining oil was generally popular in the northern region in later generations, because Li Ke used it to preserve lard in this way when he was a child. In winter, when the New Year is approaching, pigs are killed, and then most of the meat of a pig is It is all refined into lard, so that it can be eaten throughout the second year. Even in summer, it will not go bad as long as it is placed in a cool side room or cellar.
Otherwise, in a place without a refrigerator, if you don’t cook it, it will go bad in a few days in the summer.
When the pots and stoves were set up, the flames began to rise. The chefs first poured two ladles of water into the pot. After the water boiled, they put some of the chopped fat pieces in first. When the lard gradually boiled, the water When it starts to reduce, add pork until the pot is full.
The reason why water is added at the beginning is to prevent the pork from being burnt in the pot at the beginning. Boil the lard until it turns yellow. After adding water, avoid the pork from being burnt in the pot in the early stage. After the pot of lard is cooked, pour it into a large pottery jar and cool it out. The lard is as white as snow.
If you don't put water, you need to put some suet in the pork belly to melt in the pot in the early stage, and then add the cut meat. The fire should be smaller in the early stage, and then high in the later stage.
However, what Li Ke took out was all frozen pork and no lard, so he put in the water first.
When it is cooked at the same time, salt is added to it so that its shelf life will be longer.
However, it doesn’t matter whether Li Ke adds salt here, because the meat will be eaten in a month, but salt is still added to make it more fragrant. As for later, it will not be used. Anyway, it is not difficult for Li Ke to carry it. When moving things in the warehouse, he doesn't actually need to move them.
For example, these frozen meats are neatly placed in a pile. Li Ke can just grab the bottom piece and take it out, go in from another place, and grab a new pile, so he doesn't have to actually carry it.
When the smell of refining meat spread throughout the school grounds, Li Ke said loudly: "Liu Yilong!"
"The general is here!"
"Each five commanders are assigned an instructor to each team. Princes over 14 years old are assigned to the ranks of ordinary soldiers. The rest are assigned an instructor separately. Start training! Now line up! Distribute clothes!"
"General, take your orders!" Liu Yilong shouted, and directly started to group the soldiers below.
Soon, neat groups were quickly formed, and a hundred veteran instructors were quickly assigned to different teams.
