The military rations purchased by Anran Li not only have one variety of compressed biscuits, such as jerky, chocolate, canned food, self-heated rice, etc., basically every one is filled in a box. This is because the military store only operates a few types and has incomplete brands. In addition, it was Q7 at the beginning, so it couldn't even fit much even if it wanted.
Li Anran didn't have to guess whether Cheng Chusi would report military compressed rations, and knew that it was certain. However, it was a bit surprising that after Cheng Chusi asked about military compressed rations, the second person who came to the door was Zhao Er's wife Zhao Qian. (It's not easy, it finally has a formal title.)
Zhao Qian, who was in charge of the entire kitchen of Xiaoyao Villa, unexpectedly showed a very good cooking talent after learning some cooking methods with Li Anran. After asking, he realized that Zhao Qian's ancestors had a chef, which is said to be very famous. Unfortunately, after the family fell into such a field due to the wars in the Sui Dynasty.
Although Li Anran only taught a few basic skills of stir-frying, braised dishes, stewing and using various seasonings, Zhao Qianshi freely developed some new dishes based on the methods he learned. Not to mention, the taste is actually good.
As for Zhao Qian's purpose, it is actually very simple. It is to learn how to make these ham sausages and several compressed rations. Because these foods not only taste good, but also last. Whether they are enjoyed at home or brought with them when they go out, it is much better than eating ordinary dry food.
Li Anran knew a little about how to make ham sausages. Although it was somewhat different from those produced by manufacturers in batches, it actually didn’t count in terms of taste. However, without corresponding food additives, packaging and filling equipment, it was no problem to make it and eat it right away, but it was not enough to store it for a long time with the ham sausages sold outside.
The same is true for those military compressed rations. If you want to do it alone, it is not a problem to use the skill bonus of Li Anran's foodie nature to make similar and even better products, but it cannot be replaced in the end. Fortunately, Zhao Qianshi just thinks that some food tastes good, and wants to enrich the varieties in the villa, and inns in the county can also make the business of the winery and inns better. As for the carrying and storage problems, it is best to solve them. If they cannot be solved, only Cheng Chusi will be very disappointed.
Li Anran's idea is very simple. If you just eat it yourself or sell it in a winery and inn, you naturally don't have to consider packaging and storage issues. And you don't have to worry about military supplies. Anyway, the bait has been released, and the fish can be taken to the bait any time. As for the sensitive issues, Li Anran is not worried at all. Anyway, if these things really count, they are just food at best, which is far less likely to cause trouble than steel and salt.
After lunch, Li Anran took Zhao Er and Cheng Chusi to the village for a while. From a distance, he saw large camouflage-colored engineering tents standing. When he walked closer, he could smell a medicinal fragrance of realgar and other herbs, and some traces of fire could be seen on the ground near the tent.
It is summer now, and these tents are built outdoors, so it is inevitable that snakes, insects, rats and ants will be free. Sprinkle them with fire and sprinkle them with special anti-worming powder, which will not only make the environment drier but also avoid unnecessary dangers. At night, light a few more medicinal fragrances, which can also reduce the possibility of being bitten by mosquitoes and make sleeping more stable.
As for the place where he sleeps, Li Anran no longer thought about purchasing in modern time and space. He directly asked someone to go to the edge of the field to cut down the trees and bamboos that were in trouble, and then send them to one place to process a simple bed soon. After the cut, someone will conduct preliminary cleaning of the ground, burn what should be burned, dig what should be dug, and then go back and deeper to cultivate it to become a cooked land that can grow crops. It can be considered a killing of two birds with one stone. Why not do it?
After walking around the village, Li Anran further understood the simple side of the ancients. After the previous work arrangements, everything was going on in an orderly manner, almost no one was required to care about it, let alone use a whip or something as described in the movie novel. Even if there are occasional small problems, they will be reported to Mr. Wang to wait for the decision.
"Hmm? Cheng Hunting, is there something wrong?" Li Anran, who felt that Cheng Chusi's expression was not right beside him, asked with a smile.
"Young Master, I wonder how much these tents cost?" Although his personality is not as rough as his father Cheng Yaojin, Cheng Chusi did not end up with the same fate as ordinary people. He pointed directly at the top of the engineering tent and asked.
"These? According to the price of the Tang Dynasty, the small ones cost about five jin per head, the larger ones cost ten jin, and the larger ones cost more, the larger ones cost more." After converting the price of the tents he purchased with the price of the time and space of the Tang Dynasty, Li Anran did not add much money and directly quoted the cost price.
"Five stakes?" After hearing this price, Cheng Chusi's personality couldn't help but stand on the spot.
It’s not that I think the price is expensive, but that I think the price is too cheap.
I won’t talk about the fabric of this tent. Cheng Chusi had carefully looked at it before. It was not only very strong but also waterproof. Even after nailing the pile foundation, it is said that it can also predict strong winds. The key is that the skeletons of these tents are all of the best steel materials!
In Cheng Chusi's eyes, this kind of steel is a waste to use as the skeleton of the camp. If this can be made into a weapon, how many soldiers can be armed by the steel used in so many camps and increase its attack power.
"Yes, Wu Guan, what? Cheng Hunting is interested?" Seeing the other party standing there stupidly, Li Anran smiled.
"Young Master, why do these camps use steel for bones?" Cheng Chusi, who came to his senses, did not answer the question, but asked.
"Steel?" Li Anran, who was stunned for a moment, realized what the other party was pointing, and smiled and said, "These are just ordinary steel materials, not anything. Why, Cheng Huyuan thinks it is too wasteful to use these steel materials as skeletons? Do you think these steel materials are better for weapons?"
"Yes!" Cheng Chusi, who had been seen through, felt embarrassed at all and admitted directly.
"Haha... the Tang Dynasty is about to launch troops recently?" Li Anran asked.
"This..." Cheng Chusi dared not speak out loudly about military and national affairs. What's more, his current task is to serve as a guardian for people, and other matters are not very clear.
"By the way, hasn't Yuan Junzhang surrendered to the Tang Dynasty again? Could it be that something happened to the Turks? Well, let's do it." Li Anran, who had already checked several major events in the first year of Zhenguan, saw that the topic was just about to touch on this aspect, so naturally there was no reason to miss it. He pretended to pinch his fingers, looking like a very charlatan.
If it were someone else who did this, Cheng Chusi was too lazy to care about it. It would be good not to arrest the other party for being confusing the public with evil words. But after seeing someone who could travel back and forth to the upper realm and carrying various magical objects, the first reaction to such a posture was to hold the sword in his hand, and then, along with several other guards and Zhao Er, to protect someone firmly in the middle.
"Haha... Cheng Huyuan doesn't have to be nervous. According to the results I calculated, Jie Li got the Han Dynasty Zhao Deyan before and used it greatly, which led to the changes in the old Turkic customs and the harsh and complicated government orders, which made the Turkic people begin to complain. Moreover, Jie Li believed in the Hu people and alienated the Turkic people, launched military attacks every year, and then caught the heavy snowfall in the sky, and many livestock died, and the Turkic people also suffered from cold and hunger."
"Jie Li's wealth was insufficient, and he could only re-exploitate after the first year. Therefore, the Turkic domestic complaints were full of complaints, and various troops rebelled against the Turkic one after another, and Jie Li's military force gradually weakened. In fact, this was indeed a good time to raise troops. Unfortunately, some people in the court decided that Tang Xian's attack on the Turkic was unjust, and missed this opportunity in vain."
"However, this is good. The people who are in trouble will be in the end. There is a saying in the upper realm: Prosperity will lead to suffering; destruction will lead to suffering. With the eyes of the True Dragon Emperor, it is indeed a situation that is worse than a quietness. But..." In the end, Li Anran deliberately left a tail, shook his head, but did not say anything more.
While protecting, Cheng Chusi did not forget to prick up his ears and listen to what the other party said. He stopped talking about it when it was critical. If this was put in later generations, he would definitely scold someone for being a "eunuch"!
"Your Majesty also asks you for advice!" Cheng Chusi, who knew that his mission was of great importance, immediately clasped his fists and said seriously.
"Leak the secrets of heaven... Alas... I am entering the world and I will add some energy to the prosperous Tang Dynasty." Li Anran, who pretended to be hesitant and moved, sighed and said seriously: "Although Jie Li missed the good opportunity to raise troops, it will not have any impact on the Tang Dynasty for the time being. However, according to the results of my unintentional deduction, there is a person in Youzhou. If he lets go, it will definitely cause great harm in the future."
"I don't know who this person is?" Although Cheng Chusi did not take this sentence completely seriously, he had to ask what his responsibilities were.
