You know, for the army in this era, it was considered good if it could be well fed. The elite troops were not only well fed, but also had meat to eat, and this was just stationed there.
If you really go to the battlefield, it would be nice to have some food, vegetables, fruits, meat, etc. If you are lucky, you can get some.
If it had been placed in the summer, it would have been broken by the transport. Even if there was any, it was transported from a nearby city, but the quantity was small.
When fighting with cold weapons, all you have to fight for is strength. Without meat, where will the strength come from? Do you really think that eating some corn and vegetables will help you gain strength?
All the soldiers looked at their noses with their eyes, their noses looked at their hearts, and their backs were turned to Yang Gan's martial law.
"Thirsty~~~~!"
"What do you want to drink? Water or wine, warm or cold~~~~"
"Just plain corn wine will do."
Yang Qian diligently handed the drink to her.
After Zhang Yumeng took a sip, he smashed his mouth happily.
"Seeing that you are doing well, let me tell you. In fact, the canning process is very simple. You only need tinplate. As for vegetables, there is no other way. There is no equipment to make dehydrated vegetables. For fruits, use glass bottles to make canned fruits. ah."
Yang Qian's hand gradually slowed down, "Tinplate, what kind of magical metal is this? I've never heard of it."
Zhang Yumeng slapped Yang Qian's hand, and the latter immediately speeded up the massage.
Zhang Yumeng squinted his eyes and asked, "Canned meat, where is the meat?"
"Nonsense, of course it's canned." Yang Qian said matter-of-factly.
"What are cans made of?"
"Iron? Otherwise?" Yang Qian didn't understand this at all and couldn't provide any advice.
Zhang Yumeng smiled and said, "How many years do you think the tin cans can be stored?"
"One year? Two years? Wait, that's not right. Iron cans will rust within a week or two. Doesn't that mean one bite causes tetanus?" Yang Qian said in surprise.
Thinking about the kind of health knowledge that his parents often shared in the family group, Yang Gan immediately said, "Should we add preservatives?"
"What a fart~~Although normal canned meat has a shelf life of only 2 to 3 years, canned meat with preservatives can have a shelf life of more than ten years."
Yang Qian was a little confused and said "囧", "You should tell me about it, I'm so curious."
"The iron sheet is plated with a layer of tin, 80% iron + 20% tin, it's called tinplate."
"First, cut the fresh pork into 2-3cm dices. After weighing the dices, add a piece of salt the size of your thumbnail."
"Then the meat is compacted to ensure there is enough space at the top of the can without being stuffed, then the mouth is sealed and cooked in a pressure cooker, which is a very large pressure cooker."
"After cooking, just cool it naturally and dry it. It's a simple can. The shelf life of such cans is generally 24 to 36 months, but realistically, there is basically no problem within five years."
Yang Gan scratched his head in confusion, "You didn't come from a meat cannery before, did you?"
"Tch, I would go to a meat cannery? I saw that in a video online, but I understand the principle. The key is to do your best to remove bacteria. Without bacteria, the meat will not spoil."
"Where's the canned fruit?" Yang Qian was overjoyed, but still asked how to make another can.
"It's similar to the one just now, but the canned fruit must be made of glass. When steaming, add sugar. It will be so sweet that it will kill you, and the lid cannot be closed."
"After steaming for 20 minutes, you can take it out of the pot. At that time, cover the lid and wait until the temperature cools down.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
After cooling, due to the principle of heat, expansion and contraction, the lid will be sucked very tightly. Generally, it will not be a problem if it is stored for two years. "
"Pa~~~~"
Yang Gan clapped his hands, feeling ecstatic in his heart. In this way, not to mention meat for the army, the fruits were guaranteed, and he could still sell them for money.
If there is too much inventory, you can sell some things that are half past their shelf life every year, especially selling fruits in winter. Damn, you can make a lot of money.
"Let's go, let's go back soon. I can't help but want to test it." Yang Qian immediately pulled Zhang Yumeng and walked outside.
"Wait a minute, I caught a spy for you."
Yang Gan was quite curious, could he catch the spies if he went out? That's ridiculous, it's not a TV series.
Zhang Yumeng waved to Xie Qifu, who was squatting by the book, "Come here."
Xie Qifu walked over tremblingly, sweat dripping from his forehead. The handsome young man in front of him was a ruthless person.
The area at the city gate was still red with blood, and their heads were almost lined up.
Yang Gan raised the corners of his mouth and looked at himself with a pair of slightly cynical eyes.
"Plop" sound,
Xie Qifu knelt directly on the ground, "Little man, little man Xie Qifu, please refer to the county governor."
"Hey~~~! What's the matter? My legs are weak. Could it be that I'm ugly or that I can eat people?"
Xie Qifu was sweating like rain, "No, no, the governor is unparalleled and the world knows it. Xiao, Xiao, I was shocked when I saw your majestic appearance."
The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, Yang Qian's achievements are piled up by countless heads. Other counties may just hear rumors. At most, they know about his achievements, but not the scene at that time.
Xie Qifu had gone to Baiyunguan to see it, and he had also seen it at the city gate of Yuntong County. The billowing heads were not only scary to death, but at least they scared him out of his courage.
"Xie Qifu? The secret agent of the Xie family here? You are very courageous. After I removed all the secret agents of the Wang family, your Xie family is fine. Do you really think that I can't find you?"
Xie Qifu's eyes widened and he looked at Yang Qian in disbelief. He suddenly covered his ears and said, "Master Sheriff, I didn't hear anything."
Yang Qian was surprised and said, "That's right. You're quite smart. You really have no value. If you want to live, give me a reason?"
"Your Majesty the Sheriff, I am willing to provide information about the Xie family. I hope the Sheriff will spare my life."
"Stand up for me~~~!"
Yang Gan suddenly roared, which startled Zhang Yumeng and the other girls.
Xie Qifu stood up suddenly and closed his eyes. He really didn't want to die, but he had no choice. He didn't think he could escape from here with his three-legged cat kung fu.
Yang Qian turned around twice with interest towards Xie Qifu, and by the way, he touched the child who was following him closely.
"Bought child?"
"Yes..." Xie Qifu didn't dare to express his anger. Life and death were in this blink of an eye.
"You are from the Xie family, but you are also from the Xia country. Don't be so spineless."
"I, I'm afraid of death~~~~!"
"Hahahahaha, who is not afraid? I am afraid too, but is fear useful?" Yang Gan became more and more satisfied with this man.
Xie Qifu said nothing and his legs were shaking badly.
"I'll spare your life and work with me~~! How about that?"
Xie Qifu couldn't believe his ears: "County, Lord Sheriff, take it seriously."
Yang Gan smiled, "When I said
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It's a lie. "
"No, no, Lord Sheriff, I will help you. Whatever you want, I will do it for you."
"That's good. Don't even think about escaping. Remember, I don't dare to talk about other places, but in Yuntong County, if I want you to die at the third watch, you will never survive until the fifth watch."
"Little Ming, I understand~~~!"
After Yang Gan told Shi Huacai some things, he led hundreds of people and set off towards Yuntong County.
"Wow, Yang Qian, you take five hundred mysterious cavalry with you when you go out?" Zhang Yumeng was stunned when he looked at the hundreds of cavalry behind him.
He looked at Xie Qifu, who was riding like a quail next to him, and said sarcastically, "I am also afraid of death, so I need to bring more troops. If the logistics were not slow, I would have brought five thousand people."
Xie Qifu saw it with his eyes and heard it in his heart. Many people in the family clamored to cut off Yang Gan's head to make him regret going against the family members, and to serve as a warning to the monkeys.
The king was fine before, but since last year, his mind has been abnormal. He often discusses some unreasonable policies with the ministers.
Many policies were aimed at digging into the foundations of the clans, and some policies were even issued without the ministers' consultation. It is conceivable that many edicts did reach counties, but their execution was not satisfactory.
But looking at the methods of the county guard, I am afraid that the Xie family and the Wang family will encounter opponents this time, and Xie Qifu has to think about his own retreat.
As for thanking the family? Not to mention the core, I can't even enter the core of the outer room. Who knows that I don't have strong relatives as a backstage? It seems that I have to hold on to this thigh.
A figure was lying on the hillside, not daring to breathe. He took a sharp look, and when Yang Qian's team was out of sight, he quickly disappeared.
The journey back took less than two days. In order to hurry up and go back, everyone directly solved the problem of eating and drinking on the horse. Although they did not run wildly, sitting on the horse all the time was not something ordinary people could sustain.
There is no problem with Yang Qian and other soldiers. These are the best of the best, and they all follow Yang Qian in the north and south. They have never suffered anything. Many times they ambush others outside, and they must not move for at least a day or two.
As for Zhang Yumeng, he didn't go on many expeditions with Yang Qian, so he naturally didn't suffer much.
But this was very painful for Xie Qifu. He hadn't ridden a horse for a long time and relied on horse-drawn carriages to travel. After just half a day, his legs no longer obeyed him.
On the other hand, the county guard's face was as normal and he didn't feel tired at all. The county guard who woke up on the back of a rhinoceros the next morning, with two barbarian women beside him, was actually wearing armor and following the troops with the strength of his legs.
This is a full two hours. If an ordinary person wears heavy armor, he can march quickly, but if he runs, he will be exhausted in half an hour.
Yang Qian not only wore armor, but also held a dragon-slaying knife. One can imagine the weight of his body.
Not long after, the group returned to Zhuangzi.
Yang Qian directly threw Xie Qifu to Xiao Yu. He had already taught her his torture and psychological game methods. Not to say that he had understood them all, at least he had learned a rough outline.
Training Xie Qifu is not something that can be easily accomplished, not to mention that he is afraid of death?
After putting down his luggage, Yang Gan ran non-stop towards the river and came to the forging factory. Yang Gan took Ou Yexia and told him the tinplate formula, and then took out the can shape he designed.
In his previous life, Yang Qian could never live at home. As long as he had nothing to do after get off work, he usually stayed at home and didn't go anywhere.
When I get tired of eating outside, I will buy a lot of military rations online, especially some canned food.
