Chapter 4255: The gap is so big!

After all, Ma Xinde took the seal of Tibet Biejia, and in many semi-public places, Ma Xinde basically will not be stopped by anyone, just like the county Wei Mawang who is doing drills in the border area between Hanzhong and Tibet Yanbian After checking the seal, Mahind was not stopped from watching the practice.

"This practice is very good." After all, Ma Xinde also came from Beigui. Although he is not a member of the five branches of the Dayue Clan, he is also in the mountains, so he was imprisoned by the national military service of the conscription system. How many know how to train soldiers.

So after looking at it for a while, I also saw the doorway. County Wei Mawang is a veteran of the Imperial Guard. I am not sure if he is double or triple, but he is definitely an elite. The soldiers taught are all serious battles to kill the enemy. means.

"It's okay. According to this drill, our county should be able to win the top three in the military service competition after a while." Ma Wang also expressed satisfaction with the young and strong men under him. There are many forests and wild beasts here, so kill them Beasts can also be regarded as training soldiers.

"Hanzhong itself has a strong folk style, and it would be nice to be in the top three." Yang Pu said with emotion, Yongliang is a special place, and it is really terrible to get a ranking in military service, even though Hanzhong does not belong to Yongliang. , but after the road was connected, this side was also pulled in and rolled up.

"Brother Yang, you are the one who came down this time, didn't the neighbor come?" Ma Wang looked at Yang Pu and said strangely, and then reached out to take the pack of Cordyceps that Yang Pu handed over. , will bring a pack of Tibetan herbal medicines to the people stationed in Yanbian like Mawang.

"This time I'm escorting Biejia to attend the court meeting." Yang servant's expression changed, and he put away his previous hippie smile. At this time, Ma Wang realized that this old man with his hands behind his back was actually Biejia. In the younger generation, it is rare to see old men becoming officials.

"Don't drive." Mawang rushed to greet him, but Ma Xinde didn't care, he waved his hand to signal Mawang to do something else, and he carefully observed these young men.

In the end, Ma Xinde basically determined that the traces of military service on these young and strong people were obviously less than those of the Da Yuezhi. It is estimated that the national military service should have started in the past five or six years, but the weight and strength of these young and strong people are obviously better than those of the Da Yuezhi. The average level of the Da Yuezhi basically reached the level of the young and strong population under the jurisdiction of the five nobles.

[It seems that the Han family has only recovered in recent years, but it still has a solid foundation, and its weight and fitness can be raised in a short time, but its height is fixed, and it is inherently taller than the average Da Yueshi. 】Masinde was very moved when he saw these young men who were practicing.

Ma Wang belongs to the kind of boring soldiers, and he doesn't know how to curry favor with others. After meeting with Ma Xinde, he found that Ma Xin De didn't ask any questions, so he continued to lead people to practice. Yang Pu and others wanted to leave, but If Mahind wants to see, everyone will accompany him.

After such a company, I stayed with him until noon, and then the back kitchen brought several carts of steamed buns and cabbage tofu stewed vermicelli. Ma Xinde was not polite, and made a bowl himself. After eating, he fell into deep thought.

It's not that it's delicious, Ma Xinde also eats a lot of delicacies from mountains and seas, and he can better understand the gap between Guishuang and the Han Dynasty after eating this food.

"Is there any wine?" Mahinde asked Ma Wang after finishing eating.

"Although this is only for military service training, alcohol is prohibited in the military camp." Ma Wang refused formally, there is no way, but all soldiers who have been beaten for drinking will not drink when they have military duties, so Ma Wang No drinks were prepared.

"Don't drive, go straight to the east and there is a supply and marketing cooperative, and there is wine over there." Yang servant greeted Ma Xinde, "and the variety is very complete, and new ones are often added."

Ma Xinde nodded. As a guy who has lived on the battlefield and is older than the average age of people in this era, he will not be dissatisfied with this kind of serious rejection. He nodded to Mawang and left with Yang Pu .

After replacing the yak with a pack horse, Ma Xinde lay on the carriage frame, stretched out half of his body and communicated with Yang Pu, "After coming down from Tibet, do you have any thoughts?"

"What do you think?" Yang Pu didn't know why.

"It's white flour steamed buns and stir-fried vegetables with oil residue, and it's very suitable for working people." Ma Xinde said to Yang Pu with a smile.

Don’t look at the stewed vermicelli with tofu and cabbage. It can be stewed with animal oil. It’s actually quite delicious. At least Ma Xinde is very clear that Da Yuezhi can’t do this at all, and when Ma Xinde eats it, Looking at the looks of those young and strong around, you can also tell that this is the standard training meal, which is neither good nor bad.

"Actually, we're just thrifty." Yang servant thought for a while and replied, it's not that they can't afford it in Tibetan areas, but they can't bear it. Thinking about it carefully, they can actually live like this, but they are used to living poorly. I can't bear it.

Among other things, there are now more than 3 million geese in Tibet. Although many of them have not grown up, this is a huge wealth. Including cattle, sheep, horses, etc., the wealth of Qingqiang and Faqiang In fact, it has exceeded any point in the past, but they are just reluctant to eat and use it.

Ma Xinde nodded when he heard the words, yes, he stayed in Faqiang and Qingqiang for so long, and realized that this group of people is actually not poor. The prices of various medicinal materials in Tibet are not low, and the prices are extremely stable, so these people In fact, they also have money, but they are reluctant to spend it.

"Speaking of which, if the cook is willing to put so much oil, why is he not willing to put in meat?" Ma Xinde asked a little strangely.

They are all animal oil. With the oil absorption level of cabbage, the oil juice can be released by pressing with a steamed bun. There is no shortage of meat at all. As a result, Ma Xinde did not see any meat in the dish, which is very strange.

Yang servant scratched his head, "Because of some incidents before, meat is not included in vegetarian dishes."

Chen Xi only started to engage in animal husbandry back then, when he was able to supply the army with meat. At that time, meat and vegetables were fried or stewed together, so when cooking rice, it was inevitable that some people would eat more meat and less vegetables in one spoonful. Some people have more vegetables and less meat.

This is the third century. Many ordinary people have never seen meat a few times in their lives. Therefore, when cooking, there were several fights because of the problem of whether there was too much meat or too many dishes. Some beat the cook and some grabbed the spoon. , Some are dissatisfied with two pieces of meat missing.

In short, since the first time Chen Xi made meat dishes for the army, the fights have never stopped because of problems such as more meat or less meat, fat and thin, and other mental problems.

After Chen Xi learned this, the army's vegetarian dishes became pure vegetarian dishes, and the meat dishes also became pure meat dishes, reducing the fights caused by such meaningless incidents.

To put it simply, if you eat chicken nuggets today, except for the condiments, you will only have chicken nuggets, and you will never add any vegetarian dishes. If you say it is braised pork today, there will only be braised pork in it. Don't mess with those messy things.

"It's really not easy." Ma Xinde was very emotional. This is already a luxury trouble that only belongs to the Han Dynasty. Putting Guishuang can add meat to your dishes, thank God.

"That's right. Later, because of problems such as fatness and thinness, the management staff of the animal husbandry industry specially asked someone to study how to cut meat, so as to completely avoid the problem of meat bone content." Yang Pu nodded heavily, and Ma Xinde only felt that this It's purely neurotic.

"However, the current processing is relatively good. It seems that there are only fishes in the eastern coast, and the others seem to be not very easy to handle." Yang Pu thought for a while and said.

Others are not difficult to deal with, but the more direct human cost is too high. Chen Xi is really too lazy to do it. On the contrary, it is fishery. Some sea fish fillets are easier to deal with, so cut them into fillets directly, and bring some leftovers The fish bones of the meat are directly minced by manpower, water power, or tidal meat grinder, and pulled by carts to be used as feed additives.

To be honest, eating this really grows fast, especially pigs, which eat everything, grow very fast after eating this, and the fat is very thick, and a lot of animal oil is contributed in this way.

Although in theory, vegetable oil is safer, but considering the comprehensive output and the difficulty of transportation, animal oil is better to deal with at present. Having said that, in the case of the Han Dynasty, some of them are good to eat, not to mention animal oil. Fragrant.

"This is really powerful." Ma Xinde said with some complicated emotions, the strength of the Han Dynasty, in Ma Xinde's view, compared with those military performances, these details are more terrifying, After all, such a large rear can continuously support the expansion of military power.

All the way in silence, Yang Pu followed the previous route and brought Ma Xinde to the village closest to the barracks. Ma Xinde fell into deep thought as he looked at the seven or eight meter high city wall.

Yang Pu obviously came a lot, so he was greeted not long after he entered, and then he brought Ma Xinde all the way to the supply and marketing cooperative.

These days, the supply and marketing cooperative mainly sells all kinds of wines that Chen Xi failed to develop, so Ma Xinde could smell the aroma of wine before entering, and the supply and marketing cooperative has set up a shed next door, and many older and younger old men are there They brag and fart there, and play chess.

Looking at the various types of wine on the altar, Ma Xinde has a deeper understanding of the material accumulation of the Han Dynasty. How much material did you collect?

"Just this yellow wine bar, give me a bowl." Ma Xinde pointed to the most mellow old rice wine and said. Compared with other fruit wines, Ma Xinde felt that the old rice wine made from millet was the most reliable. Gadgets have such a long history that even Mahind knows it well.

The old man of the supply and marketing cooperative poured a bowl. When there was only rice wine in the past, almost no one here could afford to drink it. Now that there are more types of wine, rice wine can’t beat other wines, so I met a person who understands this , the old man is also very happy.

Ma Xinde took two sips, and the more he drank, the more he felt that the taste was right, until Ma Xinde felt that he was almost catching up with the wine used in the five internal banquets of the Dayue Clan. Also a master brewer.

"Let's try this again." Mahinde pointed to the bowl, and asked the old man to pour something else. In fact, Mahinde didn't know what the things that said natto, mulberry, sugar cane, bayberry, etc. were. What, but Mahinda wouldn't mind trying it.

After all, rice wine itself is a semi-sweet wine, so Ma Xinde can naturally accept other wines, so after tasting them one by one, he has a higher opinion of the old man who sells wine. The taste of Masinde, but overall it is quite good.

Especially when calculating the price, it only added up to ten yuan. Ma Xinde was even more satisfied.

Just like this, Ma Xinde drank all the way from Mianyang to Xinzheng, and he was still thinking that he would buy some next time he passed by. Yes, so when passing by another village, I bought another jar of rice wine for Mahinde.

Mahinde was still a little confused when he took it, and even more confused after taking a spoonful. The taste feels exactly the same. What kind of ghost operation is this?

What else could be done, Chen Xi asked Kong Rong and Zheng Quan to take the lead, gathered nearly a hundred seniors who were proficient in wine making, verified each item, and finally came up with a professional and standardized wine making method.

By luck? By feel? Need all kinds of messy preconditions? Crack it all for me! What kind of water, what kind of temperature, what kind of distiller's yeast, list it clearly for me, verify it over and over again, keep improving, even if it is large-scale, it is several grades higher than the level of ordinary wine shops.

Coupled with the standardized process, one catty of millet can produce two catties of high-quality rice wine stably. Chen Xi makes money with tears in his eyes, and guarantees that one bucket of rice will produce four buckets of wine. That situation is several times the price of rice.

After all, Ma Xinde is a smart person, and he quickly figured out these things, but the more he understands some things, the more he can understand the gap between the two sides. This way of concentrating power in the Han Dynasty seems simple, but it has experienced political struggles. , Mahinde, who is in self-exile, is well aware of how difficult it is to lift the weight lightly, which means that the government orders of the Han Dynasty are almost completely unified.

"Don't drive, Hanzhong City is ahead." Yang servant greeted Ma Xinde, who was a little drunk. Hearing these words, Ma Xinde involuntarily poked his head out to have a look, and then slowly Shrunk back, lost sight of it, Fu Ward gave up as soon as possible, don't struggle.

"I don't have any hobbies. What's there to eat here? Where is it? Let's go directly, and don't bother the prefect of Hanzhong." Ma Xinde said to Yang Pu in the carriage.

Compared with other wise men, Ma Xinde is very down-to-earth, with simple hobbies, just eating and drinking, while the Han Dynasty eats and drinks in different ways, which makes Ma Xinde very satisfied.

Especially after confirming that the strength of the Han Dynasty was completely invincible, Ma Xinde, who was originally planning to show off the princess, gave up struggling completely. The gap is so big, what else to fight, just give up.
