The soldiers of the Xia army brought a lot of food, enough for more than 300 Korean workers to eat.
And seeing so many things, the North Korean workers were all looking forward to it.
They didn't just wait around, they were assigned tasks.
"Go some people and come back with some clean snow."
Immediately, more than a hundred Koreans took tools and walked into the inaccessible dense forest.
If you want to boil water in the wild in winter, collecting clean snow is the most convenient way.
Just put the snow into the pot and it will become edible water after it is burned.
"Go to some more people and come back with some dry firewood."
As for the matter of building pots and stoves, the Xia army soldiers did not let these Koreans do it.
Setting up a cooking stove in the wild is a required course for every soldier, and it is far more professional than these Koreans.
Just a few stones and some soil are needed to form a simple pot stove.
The firewood was picked up and thrown into the stove. Then, in the eyes of the Korean people, something magical happened.
I saw a soldier take out a small iron box the size of a palm from his pocket, flick it casually, and the lid on it opened.
The North Koreans had no idea what this was, and all their eyes widened.
But when they saw a soft crack and flames coming out, all the Koreans were shocked. A few were timid and even knelt down on the spot.
"General...general, what kind of treasure is this?"
The soldier laughed and lit the paper with a lighter to ignite the firewood.
"This is called a lighter, and it's a fire-starting tool made by our Xia Kingdom. How about it? Is it more convenient than a fire stick?"
Seeing the soldier rubbing his fingers back and forth on a small wheel, and the flames flickering on and off, all the Koreans were envious.
After just a few days of contact, what these soldiers from Xia Kingdom showed them seemed to be endlessly magical.
Compared with these people, they Koreans seem like savages.
The clean snow was brought back and quickly boiled into water, and the Xia army soldiers began to put instant noodles into the pot.
North Koreans were so excited when they saw the pieces of golden-yellow noodles quickly disintegrating into chewy noodles in the water.
"I once ate it secretly at Mr. Liangban's house before. The noodles were really delicious. Today we are in for a treat!"
"No, this noodle tastes better than the noodles from Mr. Yangban's house."
When the instant noodles seasoning was also poured into the pot, the hot and fragrant smell spread out, and all the Koreans couldn't help but lean forward.
This is pasta!
It has always been food that only two classes of gentlemen could eat, but today they, untouchables, would have the opportunity to taste it.
But this is not the end.
Seeing that the noodles were almost cooked, the New Army soldier took the tightly wrapped bag from the side. After opening it, the contents inside looked like dry leaves.
However, the magical thing is that when these dried leaves are put into the soup, they quickly unfold and become crystal green.
"Ah...this is green vegetables, green vegetables, you can actually eat green vegetables."
"General, do you know magic? How can there be green vegetables when it's so cold?"
Listening to the exaggerated tone of these Koreans, the Xia army soldiers couldn't help but smile.
"What kind of magic is this? It's just that fresh vegetables were dehydrated and preserved. Now they are boiled in water and restored to their original appearance."
The North Koreans were dumbfounded and did not understand the rationale at all.
But when they think about being able to eat fresh vegetables in winter when everything is dry, these people can't wait.
Still not finished.
The Xia Army soldier brought over another square iron box, and even needed a dagger to open the lid.
When the contents were poured out, the North Koreans all went crazy.
"Wow, is this meat?"
"It actually has meat!"
"Can we eat meat too?"
With a pair of green eyes, they saw the Xia Army soldier using a dagger to cut the meat the size of a brick into small pieces like chess pieces and put them into the noodle soup.
At this time, the things cooked in the pot can be described as a dazzling array of meat and vegetables in harmony.
Whether it's noodles, vegetables, or meat, they are all things that Koreans rarely have access to.
Especially noodles and meat, some people may have never eaten them in their lives.
The Xia Army soldiers distributed large iron bowls to these Koreans, then asked them to line up and began to distribute food to them.
These Koreans have never been so well-behaved. No one dared to cause trouble. With nervousness and joy, everyone received a big bowl full of noodles.
Seeing that there are noodles, vegetables, and meat in it, and the red soup is made of who knows what, these Koreans feel like they are in a dream.
There were even many people who put down their rice bowls first, kowtowed to the Xia Army soldiers, and then hurried to the side to taste them carefully.
Put the noodles aside first and take a sip of hot soup.
The icy cold wind had been blowing all morning in the wilderness, and everyone was freezing from the inside out. At this time, a mouthful of hot soup is taken into the mouth and flows into the stomach along the esophagus.
The magma-like heat spread quickly, with a spiciness that had never been tasted before, making people feel alive immediately.
The stiff fingers can feel, and the frozen toes can move. It was only at this moment that these people had the realization of being alive.
"Five Dynasties Rivers, Mountains and Winds"
Ernan held the bowl and cried loudly.
"We actually ate the food of gods! Even if we die, we will be satisfied."
The people next to him echoed.
"From now on, I will never envy those yangban masters. They have never eaten such good food."
A group of North Koreans ate instant noodles and luncheon meat while cursing the yangban masters who did not treat them as human beings.
No one noticed that during this meal, their thoughts had undergone earth-shaking changes.
The guys were so hungry that even after eating a big bowl of noodles, they were still not satisfied. Some people were unwilling to give in, holding the remaining soup in their hands and taking small sips, not wanting to finish it.
Some smart people took out their own cold rice balls and poured them into the noodle soup. When the rice balls are soaked in the noodle soup, they turn into delicious rice soup.
"Ah, people in Xia country eat this every day, it's really enviable."
"Why the hell didn't God let me be born in Xia Kingdom? Even if I am a dog in Xia Kingdom, it is better than being a Korean."
With their bellies full and their bodies warm, these Koreans chatted comfortably.
"I wonder when I can eat such delicious food again?"
Er Nan thought for a while and said to the man: "The generals of Xia State are very kind. As long as we work hard, we will definitely still be able to eat."
His words were actually recognized by many people.
There was a younger one who was shy and did not dare to talk to the Xia soldiers in the distance, so he asked the elders around him: "I wonder what this delicious food is called?"
No one can answer this question.
Er Nan made a nonsense statement: "These Xia generals call the army troops. I think this kind of food should be called army pot."
When the others heard this, they all applauded and had this kind of food deeply engraved in their bones.
A few years later, when many people's lives reach the last moment, their only wish is to have another bite of the army's pot, so that there will be no regrets in life.
