Chapter 33 The collective wisdom of academy students(2/2)
"That's right, my Xue family has been a family of generals for generations, and I have been familiar with military camp affairs since I was a child. Our military rations in the Tang Dynasty mainly consist of cooking biscuits. Now in the cold winter months, if I take a bite of such military rations, I am afraid my teeth will be broken, so
, we developed this new type of military ration."
"This kind of military ration is mainly made by mixing wheat flour and potato flour and frying it. It can be eaten directly. If it is brewed with hot water, it will not only taste better, but also make you feel fuller after eating."
Upon hearing this, Qin Hao asked the cook to get a small cloth bag, filled it and turned around to leave.
Xue Er and others were originally waiting for Qin Hao's praise, but when they saw this, they looked at each other.
But when Qin Hao walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and said to them: "This is a new type of military ration developed for the army. I should present it to His Majesty."
It wasn't until Qin Hao's back disappeared into the wind and snow that Xue Er and others embraced each other with joy.
In the Taiji Hall, Li Shimin was extremely busy with Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and other civil servants. The army and horses had not yet used the food and grass. For the Tang Dynasty, which had just experienced drought and locust plague, raising military food for a hundred thousand troops was almost overwhelming.
All the family fortunes have been wiped out. If this battle is lost, the consequences will be disastrous.
At this moment, a eunuch suddenly reported: "Your Majesty, a man from Qin County is outside asking for an audience."
"Oh? Please come in."
"promise."
Not long after, Qin Hao walked into the Tai Chi Hall, and Li Shimin said to the eunuch beside him: "Go and add another brazier."
"promise."
Li Shimin waved to Qin Hao again: "Qin Aiqing, there is no need to be polite. Sit closer and warm yourself."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Hao was not polite and sat in front of the brazier.
"Qin Aiqing came here in the snow and wind, why?"
Qin Hao took out the small cloth bag directly from his arms and raised his hands above his head: "This is a new type of military ration developed by the students of the academy. It is specially presented to His Majesty."
"Oh? New military ration?"
Now not only Li Shimin, but also all the civil servants were interested.
Li Shimin took the small cloth bag held by the eunuch's hands, opened it and found a pile of powder. Curiously, he twisted some with his hands, put it under his nose and smelled it.
"What's so special about this thing?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this is wheat flour and a small amount of potato flour stir-fried with salt. It can be eaten directly. It can be brewed with hot water to make you feel fuller. In such a cold winter, the soldiers may not be able to eat traditional military rations such as dry food and cooking cakes.
Swallow, so the academy students developed this new type of military ration."
Du Ruhui was the first to pour some powder from the bag and stuff it into his mouth. Needless to say, it tasted really good.
Li Shimin also asked the eunuch to get hot water for brewing. After drinking it, he felt a sense of warmth in his stomach.
"Well, this thing is really good."
However, Li Shimin changed the subject again and looked at Qin Hao playfully: "Qin Aiqing, could it be that you developed this thing yourself and named it after a student of the academy?"
