Chapter 639 Going to ask for more food
"Unfortunately, the food in the Tang Dynasty at this time is not as rich as that of later generations, and there are still not enough food suitable for soldiers to be sent there."
"However, aged beans can be used to make tofu."
Tofu is definitely a good thing for people in Datang.
Some people in later generations said that tofu was introduced from Japan during the Tang Dynasty.
After Qin Yang came to Youzhou, he didn't find tofu as food at first, so he thought it hadn't been passed on yet.
He was still thinking at that time, did he come up with tofu and bring this food to the people of Datang in advance?
As a result, before he made any accidental inventions, he accidentally ate tofu.
Only then did he realize that tofu was not called by that name at this time. In the war years before, even beans were a very popular food for satiety. Under such circumstances, who would be willing to grind beans to make tofu for ordinary people?
It was also because of this period of time that some people who knew how to make tofu either found other jobs or did not pass on their skills.
People in Youzhou didn't have a good life later on. Everyone tightened their belts, and naturally, they only wanted to ensure that they would not starve to death, instead of eating and drinking well.
It wasn't until a new king came to Youzhou. This new king solved the problem of food and clothing that the people of Youzhou were most worried about. When they could eat enough, tofu reappeared in the "river and lake".
Only then did Qin Yang realize that tofu already existed!
It can even be pushed back to the Western Han Dynasty at the earliest, and Liu An, king of Huainan, was probably the inventor of tofu.
Because there are many different names for tofu among the people in Youzhou, Qin Yang directly gave it an official unified name after learning that tofu had existed for a long time: tofu.
Since then, Youzhou's Xiaozaiyang, preserved tofu, and Laiqi have all been collectively referred to as tofu.
Qin Yang did it when he thought of it, and he immediately contacted the newly opened tofu shop to work overtime to make tofu.
As soon as the first batch of tofu was ready, it was immediately pulled by a cart and sent to the front line.
At this time, in the frontline checkpoint, canned meat, canned fruit, and several big pigs that had just been slaughtered had just been delivered.
"These pigs have been slaughtered and cannot be kept anymore. They are stewed immediately. We will eat the stew tonight!" After the logistics officials here registered the things, some were put into storage, and some directly ordered the kitchen to haul them away. Walk.
For example, each of these big pigs weighs several hundred catties, and the sum of these pigs weighs more than 1000 catties.
The soldiers here at the checkpoint, the original [-] defenders, plus the thousand people brought by Cheng Chumo, add up to about [-].
For this dinner, one person can eat a small bowl of stewed meat alone, which is already a very good meal.
"Did the Tibetans send people to investigate again? Don't let them go, stew the meat deliciously for me! They are hungry, let them smell it and know that we are eating meat!" The guard, thinking of the Tubo people who have been disturbing people like flies recently, immediately gave this order.
Those who heard this immediately responded loudly.
Soon, an extremely tempting smell of meat came out from the checkpoint.
The scouting horses smelled it, and suddenly felt that the dry food they were eating was not tasty.
When they went back to report the news to the king of Tubo, the king of Tubo ordered directly with a gloomy face: "Order, no more porridge tomorrow morning, eat dry rice!"
"...Yes, Your Majesty." Although I wanted to remind my Majesty that their food reserves were not enough, and the new rations hadn't arrived yet, but looking at His Majesty's face, how could this man dare to speak?I can only lower my head and obediently agree.
As a result, the next day, while they were eating dry rice, a strong smell of meat came from nowhere, blowing into the Tubo camp along with the wind.
The Tubo soldiers who were eating were all inhaling the smell of meat, looking for the source of the smell.
"It's outside! The smell of meat comes from outside!"
someone exclaimed.
Now, it's not just about the smell of meat.
A general nearby immediately took people out to check, but they only saw traces of burnt things less than half a mile away, but the people had long since disappeared.
Don't think about it, it will not be someone else who did this, it must be the Youzhou Army!
Hey!They had been harassing the Youzhou army before, thinking that the Youzhou army would only hide in the checkpoint to fight back, but they didn't expect the Youzhou army to take the initiative to attack like this?Or use this more wicked way of harassment?
The general led his men to chase for at least ten miles, but he was ambushed and shot directly off his horse.
The remaining people only had time to snatch the general's body back, leaving a piece of the body behind, and fled back in a hurry.
When this incident was reported to the Tubo queen, the Tubo king was furious!
This is simply provoking him!
"Come on! Prepare your horse!" The Tubo king was about to attack the Youzhou checkpoint, but was stopped by a few confidantes.
These few people bit the bullet and stopped people.
If it were for other matters, they would never dare to stop the King of Tubo. After all, their king's temperament had changed drastically, and he was no longer the king who could humbly accept advice.
But if they don't stop the king this time, there must be a trap waiting for them!
When the time comes, the king will suffer a big loss, and those of them who don’t stop him will not get any good fruits!
Since there is no good fruit to eat, it is better to stop the king now, at least they will only be reprimanded by the king at this moment, and they will not suffer and be scolded again.
The Tubo king really reprimanded a group of them, but when the evil fire was suppressed, the Tubo king also realized that he was impulsive just now.
His impulsiveness was angered by the other party.
It can be said that the casual provocation of the Youzhou Army is what makes him most angry!
Because of his serious injuries in the past three years, he has been in trouble, and he hates people who despise him the most!
If he was tricked by tricks, he would not be so angry.
On the contrary, this kind of contempt made him feel that he was being looked down upon!
"Hand down the king's order, starting from noon today, three meals a day must be meat! A dry meal!"
"...But Your Majesty, eat like this..." Someone looked distressed.
The face of the King of Tubo became even more ugly: "Why, just a few dry meals and the food is not enough? Hasn't the food been shipped one after another?"
That's true, but they don't know how long they will fight the Youzhou army!
And with such a delay, even if they defeated the Youzhou army, shouldn't the other reinforcements from Datang arrive?
They were afraid that they would not be able to take Youzhou at an extremely fast speed as planned, leaving the late Tang reinforcements helpless.I'm afraid they will face the follow-up reinforcements directly!
In such a situation where every step is slow, every step is slow, if you don’t save money on food and expenses, don’t you not only have to worry about wars in the future, but also raise food everywhere?
The King of Tubo took one look and guessed what this man was thinking.
He snorted coldly and said: "If you run out of food, ask for it again. If you can give it once, you will definitely give it the second time and the third time!"
