Chapter 127 The cow chews peonies and repels the heavenly things

"It just so happens that I'm working on something as delicious as you can compensate!"

Chen Ying rolled up his sleeves and just started to dry.

Minaval stepped forward and said, "Protector, can I help you with anything?"

With free labor, it’s useless.

So Chen Ying smashed the eggs and poured them into a bowl, took two chopsticks, and asked Minavar to stir the eggs.

For such a simple job, it was naturally difficult for Minavar. At the beginning, Minavar felt very fun, but Minavar soon couldn't laugh because Chen Ying used all the prepared ingredients, eggs, oxen, honey, oil, flour, etc. to stir.

Until Chen Ying returned to the house and slept for a while, Minavar's arm felt that it was not his own. Chen Ying looked at the fresh yeast he had prepared before, so he asked Minavar to stop stirring.

Minaval complained, “It’s too difficult!”

"As the saying goes, good things are too hard to grind, and delicious things are the same!" Chen Ying smiled and said, "It is naturally not easy to make delicious things. Today I will hand you over to make something that is both good-looking and delicious.

Anyway, winter is idle, so Chen Ying wanted to make cakes from later generations. In fact, this is not how Chen Ying likes to eat this kind of thing, but to make the Tang people change their current eating habits. There were no steamed buns in the Tang Dynasty, and there were two ways to eat wheat, like rice, or thin wheat porridge, and there was too little flour. The key is that in this era, flour was not easy to make.

However, Li and Gu are not suitable for growth in the Western Regions. The most suitable growth is wheat, soybeans, and of course corn. However, Chen Ying does not have corn seeds yet. I hope Zhang Zhongjian can successfully arrive in America and bring back corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and peppers from later generations.

Of course, the most important thing about Chen Ying is to make pasta in different ways, so that wheat becomes the staple food for everyone in the Western Regions. Once the Western Regions like to eat pasta, they have to give up nomadic, settle down, become a farmer and become an unparalleled prefecture and county in the Central Plains.

Fresh yeast is actually very simple. It mixes water with flour, kneads it into dough, and ferments naturally. With these things, the foundation for making cakes in later generations is found.

Minaval was so tired that he couldn't even raise his arms. Chen Ying had no sympathy for the fragrance and jade. He asked her to burn the fire again. At this time, Minaval looked very unhappy.

Chen Ying curled his lips and said, "Forget it if you don't want to learn!"

Minaval silently hypnotized herself.

"Men conquers the world, women conquers men. You Chen Ying is the man I want to conquer!"

So Minavar turned into a big cat with fair face and sat obediently in front of the stove to burn the fire.

Chen Ying put the yeast-added bread in the steamer.

Until the steam rose, Chen Ying waited again and looked at Minavar and smiled, "It'll be enough for another half an hour!"

Chen Ying looked at Minavar with a smile.

In Minavar's eyes, Chen Ying was lustful but not lustful. I think Chen Ying was also a "wife Guanyan" at home. However, in Chen Ying's eyes, he muttered: "Little girl, I think you will wait for how long you can hold on!"

These people who are not simple in their goals are intrigueing each other.

As the smell of cake was filled with the air, Minavar couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although he didn't see what this thing looked like, he felt delicious when he smelled the fragrance.

Chen Yingze thought more profoundly.

Food is the most important thing for the people. As long as the people in the world can have enough food, as long as they are not exploited too much, the people will naturally not care who is the emperor.

In this world, all troubles come from the belly. The hunger and fullness of the belly determines people's thinking and whether there is war and peace. If everyone can have enough food, no one will foolishly take the initiative to start a war.

It is not as difficult as imagined to be able to eat and have strong military deterrence. The people of the Western Regions have a deep understanding of force. When Chen Ying defeated Tongye Hu Khan, no one dared to rebel openly. Although some ambitious people thought of thieves and took advantage of Chen Ying's absence in the Western Regions to launch a gorgeous coup.

However, with the disappearance of Gaochang State and more than 100 tribes of all sizes and sizes, and with the disappearance of 100,000 people in Tuyuhun, only 5,000 people escaped. At this time, Chen Ying's words were the supreme imperial edict in the Western Regions.

Even though Chen Ying was busy making food in the Western Regions Protectorate, even if the Modao Army and the Cavalry of the Tang Dynasty were hiding in the warm fire pit, no one dared to say anything like rebellion.

For a people of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions who were used to handing over a quarter of their total property, Chen Ying, who collected eleven taxes, was like a saint.

In this era, the transmission of news is always lagging behind. Chen Ying should know the news from Chang'an. The midsummer period is slightly faster and takes about three months. Once the ice and snow are covered, Chen Ying will be completely isolated from Chang'an.

Unless the ice and snow melt at the end of March next year and the road begins to clear, Chen Ying’s connection with Chang’an can re-deploy. In the Western Regions, it is very difficult to make a feasible plan in advance. Taking one step at a time is the correct way of leadership. If you want to plan another step, you are often doing useless work.

If Chen Ying was to become king in the Western Regions, it would take half a year for the Li Tang court to know the news. With the mobilization speed of the Li Tang court, Chen Ying would have at least one year or even longer to prepare. However, Chen Ying was not so stupid that he would seek death at this time.

As the Li Tang court defeated the Eastern Turks and swept across the Western Turks, Tuyuhun and Tubo. In November of the fourth year of Wude, Li Jing crossed Nanling and arrived in Guizhou (now Guangxi), and sent people to recruit people to seek peace. Wherever he went, he looked for the wind to surrender. The great leaders Feng Ang, Li Guangdu, and Ning Changzhen all sent their children to seek acceptance and expressed their surrender. Li Jing inherited the command of the city and granted official titles. So he went to 96 states and obtained more than 600,000 households. Since then, "Lingnan has been pacified."

Li Yuan issued an edict to work hard and appointed him as the appeasement ambassador of Lingnan Road and the general manager of Guizhou.

By completing basic unification, at this time, the Tang Dynasty's military strength was greatly improved. Li Xiaogong and Li Jing alone had tens of thousands of troops to fight south, Li Shimin's army of Bingzhou, Li Shentong's army of more than 60,000 Shandong army, and Luo Yi's army of more than 30,000 Youzhou army.

What's more, Li Tang also had nearly 200,000 troops of the sixteen guards. At this time, the Li Tang court's Ministry of War had no less than 500,000 troops on the books. With the world's stability, the horses were released into the south mountain and the soldiers and armor were put into the warehouse. This was definitely inevitable. Once Chen Ying rebelled in the Western Regions, he would face the attack of more than 300,000 troops of the Li Tang court.

Whether it is the cavalry or the Modao Army under Chen Ying's command, these armies have absolute advantages over ordinary cavalry, but once they face the joint army of infantry, cyclists, long and short bows of the Central Tang Dynasty, they will lose all advantages.

What's more, Chen Ying was the governor of the Western Regions, commanding the three armies of Mo Dao, the cavalry and the Yue cavalry, and controlling the military of the nineteen states of Xizhou Road. It can be said that he is a real chief official of the border and is just around the corner. He is just about to enter the cabinet and become the prime minister. A stomp of his feet can make the court and the country shake a few times. Although Chen Ying became famous and had a new force and had an unstable foundation, he relied on Li Jiancheng, and no one dared to underestimate him in the temple.

Until Zhou Qing carefully reminded Chen Ying: "The time for the Protectorate is up!"

"Is the time here?" Chen Ying held a stack of linen cloth and lifted up the steamer, took it off. As soon as the steamer was opened, a disc-shaped pastry in the steamer appeared in the prototype, which looked very exquisite.

Like a little cat, Minaval, with dirt on his face, immediately came up and looked at the smoke. A unique cake fragrance came to his nose, fragrant but not greasy, and it smelled very nice.

Minaval's throat made a cooing sound and asked curiously: "What is this?"

Chen Ying ignored her and took the cake out of the steamer.

Just as Minavar reached out to grab the cake, Chen Ying pointed at Minavar's face and said, "You go and wash your face, it's so ugly!"

Minaval walked to the basin with confidence and doubts. Looking at herself with dirt on her face, her voice suddenly rose octave: "Ah..."

Jacqueline rushed towards the kitchen, and a sharp hand stab appeared in his hand. Asnathor blocked Jacqueline and pointed the iron bow in his hand at Jacqueline.

Chen Ying seemed to have not seen the two confrontation, took off the cake by himself and cut off a piece of the cake with a diameter of three feet from the edge.

However, he took a wooden board and placed the triangle cake on the wooden board, and then used a dagger and slightly modified it to form a heart shape.

Then Chen Ying took the butter bucket, applied a layer of butter on the cake, and then took some fresh fruits and placed them on the butter to embellish them.

When Minavar washed his face and looked at a cake that was penetrated by an arrow in the heart shape, what made Chen Ying the most regret was that there were no strawberries or blueberries at this time, otherwise it would be even more unique to embellish it with some seasonal fruits.

Minaval seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness before, and followed him, looking at Chen Ying and asked curiously: "What is this? Did you give it to me?"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "Yes, eat it, will you think it's delicious?"

Minaval jumped up suddenly: "Eat? How can you eat such a beautiful thing?"

Chen Ying shrugged and smiled, "It's up to you!"

Minaval raised his arm and found that his arms were sore and weak. After all, he had mixed twenty kilograms of Nunai oil, more than fifty kilograms of flour, and ten kilograms of eggs. This adult man probably couldn't stand the labor force, let alone Minaval, a woman.

Minaval pointed to the cake and said, "Jaclin is taking it back!"

Jacqueline walked over with a red face, picked up the cake and walked inside.

Chen Ying looked at Asuna Smo and asked curiously: "What's wrong with her? Why do you seem unhappy?"

Zhou Qing said with a smirk: "They two started fighting just now, and Jacqueline didn't take advantage."

Chen Ying pointed to another cake and said, "You can pay it, how about it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing hurried forward and couldn't wait to pick up a piece of cake and stuff it into his mouth. The sweet feeling was not only that, but the smoothness brought by the cream was particularly stimulating taste buds, and the courgette, the cantaloupe melon was also filled with his taste buds at this moment.

Zhou Qing especially tasted it for the first time, and this feeling instantly magnified ten times. This greasy butter is easy to make people feel sick, but it can be mixed with the cake. The soft feeling of the cake, especially comfortable and soft, gives Zhou Qing a completely different feeling compared to the stiff pastries in normal times.

Asunasmo also took a large piece of cake and ate it in a few seconds.

Chen Ying looked at Ashi's voracious swallowing and asked curiously: "How is it?"

Asunasmo shook his head: "Not really!"

Chen Ying asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

Asunasmo said dissatisfiedly: "No, such a big piece of food will not be hungry at all!"

As he said that, Asuna Simo gestured to the larger cake and said, "That piece is not worth two pounds of mutton..."
