Beigong Jing is still busy.

The generals are both laboring and hardworking. When fighting, you must fully mobilize your intelligence to the extreme. You cannot let the enemy grasp any flaws. At the same time, you must firmly grasp every flaw exposed by the enemy and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. And you cannot rest after the battle. The prisoners must be dealt with, the wounded must be treated, the dead must be buried, the results of the battle must be counted, the seized weapons and materials must be classified and put into the warehouse... Anyway, there are so many things.

He was so busy that he didn't even have to eat supper. He placed a few unleavened cakes on the simple table and never touched them. They were already hard to freeze.

Yang Xiu had already made someone boil hot water for her, took a beautiful bath, cleaned the smell of blood, and stayed in the tent of the Central Army in a red dress. Seeing Beigong Jing assigning tasks to the generals with extremely high efficiency. She felt bored, she took a piece of unleavened cake, took a bite and tasted it, and after chewing it a few times, she vomited it all out, frowned and asked, "You're eating this thing?"

Beigong Jing just finished his work. She sat down at the small table where the meals were placed with relief, picked up an unleavened cake, and said, "It would be nice to have something to eat."

Yang Xiu said angrily: "This thing is simply not something for humans! Stop eating it. My brother brought a lot of ingredients, and even the chef brought it with him. I asked him to take out all the things and make you a delicious meal!"

Beigong Jing said: "No, I just need to eat, I won't pick it."

Yang Xiu held his hand and said, "No! You've probably not eaten a serious meal for a long time. You can't do that without that condition before. Now that you have this condition, of course you have to have a delicious meal! Brother, are you right?"

Yang Jun was chewing the unleavened cake, his brows twisted into a big lump. Obviously, for the eldest son of the aristocratic family, this kind of rough food really challenged his throat. Seeing his bitter and revengeful look, it didn't seem like he was eating, but it seemed like he was being tortured. He heard his sister ask himself, he took great effort to swallow the food in his mouth and said, "Yes, Major General, you have been out for the past few months. You have never entered the city once, and you don't know how much hardship you have suffered. Now that you have won a big battle, you can breathe a sigh of relief. Of course, you have to enjoy it. I'll do it now..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Rui's carefree voice came from outside: "Major General, have you eaten?"

Yang Xiu's whole face was stinky: "Why is that guy here again? A little Qu Hou, who is stuck with the commander of the First Army all day, is really unreasonable!"

Beigong Jing said: "He is not just a Quhou... In fact, our army can turn defeat into victory in this battle, and he has made great contributions."

Yang Xiu obviously didn't believe it: "He still has such ability?"

Beigong Jing said, "He really has it." After that, he rushed outside and said, "Not yet, I'm going to eat, come in."

Li Rui walked in happily, holding a boss's tray in his hand, and owed Beigong Jing slightly, as if he was bowing. His eyes swept over the unleavened cakes on the dining table, and sighed: "Major General, saving is not like this, right? After such a big victory, the soldiers are barbecue and eating, you can eat this? A dignified general, please spend some time on the food, don't look too shabby, okay?"

Yang Xiu nodded in agreement with a rare moment: "That's right, it's not good to be too shabby!"

Beigong Jing said: "I'm too lazy to do it. Anyway, someone will respect me if they make delicious food... Li Quhou, what is on your tray? It smells quite fragrant!"

Li Rui placed the tray on the table, took the unleavened cakes, and uncovered the lids on the four large sea bowls. The four bowls of noodles immediately appeared in front of everyone: "This is the noodles I made from my spare time. Major General, do you see if it suits your appetite!"

Beigong Jing's eyes fell on the noodles, and only saw that the noodles were evenly thick and thin, covered with a layer of fragrant and oily meat sauce, which looked delicious at first glance. He was a little surprised: "Isn't this Sobiao? What you made?"

Yang Xiu leaned over and swallowed his saliva while smelling the fragrance: "Hey, it's really a souvenir! I often eat this, but I can't make it so evenly thick. Li Rui, how did you make it? Why are the roots the same thickness?"

Li Rui said: "Simple, find a bamboo tube to drill dozens of small holes into the bamboo joints, stuff the noodles in and press them down hard, and squeeze the dough out one by one from the small hole. Neither Captain Yang nor Miss Yang have eaten it yet? If you don't dislike it, let's eat it together."

Yang Jun was obviously interested in this big bowl of noodles and said with a smile: "Then I really want to try it out today."

Yang Xiu didn't talk nonsense, so he first brought a bowl to Beigong Jing, then a bowl to Yang Jun, and then a bowl to himself. He knelt down next to the table, picked up noodles with chopsticks and gave them gracefully to his mouth. The young lady was so fierce when she chopped people, but when she was elegant, she was really elegant, and she showed a high-defeating temperament of a lady from a noble family and a daughter from a famous family, which was pleasing to the eye. "Silent as a virgin, moving as a crazy tiger", she was talking about her.

Beigong Jing also picked up the chopsticks and said to Li Rui: "You haven't eaten yet, are you? Sit down and eat together."

Li Rui sat down carelessly, sat opposite him, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

By the way, chairs are not very popular these days, especially the aristocratic families, which basically do not use this thing, so when eating, they always put the food on the table and kneel beside the table to eat. Elegance is really elegant, but suffering is really painful. Li Rui was unwilling to suffer this. Others kneel and he would kneel cross-legged, and he would do whatever he felt comfortable. In the eyes of the children of the aristocratic families, his sitting posture was rude. If he was a little less well-educated, he would probably knock the bowl upside down on the table and let the slave throw this rude guy out.

but……

The Wei and Jin dynasties were an era of rituals and music. In this chaotic and dark era, "rituals and laws" collapsed at an astonishing speed. Many of them were regarded as sacred etiquettes in the past, but now they are not very particular. Everyone shows off their wealth, takes drugs, gets crazy, talks about metaphysics, pretends to be a ghost, and is excited to take off their homes naked, or entertains guests at home with their butts naked. This is also called the style of a famous scholar. Compared with the shocking behavior of someone taking off all his clothes and throwing them to the owner during a banquet, it is acceptable to sit in a standard posture. What's more, the noodles are really delicious, so that Yang Xiu, Yang Jun, and Beigong Jing fell to their excellent taste and fragrant soup after taking a bite, and they were only concerned about eating them hard. Who is still in a mood to care whether their sitting posture is standard?

Li Rui was naturally very happy that the food he made himself was so popular, but he was not very satisfied when he actually tasted it. He muttered while eating: "Oh, the noodles are just right and very chewy, but the side dishes and seasonings are not good... No fungus, no radish, no chili, no lettuce, no chopped green onion... nothing, it's still a thousand miles away from a bowl of authentic noodles..."

Yang Xiu choked for a moment and couldn't help but say, "You little Quhou, you are not a big official, but your mouth is quite tricky! Such a delicious thing can't block your mouth?"

Li Rui sighed: "This is really not very delicious. If you can find a variety of seasonings and side dishes, its taste can be more than a few more grades!"

Yang Xiu was curious: "What are the ingredients and side dishes left? Tell me, I'll find it for you!"

Li Rui shook his head: "Forget it, you can't find it."

Yang Xiu was dissatisfied: "Just, there is something in the world that my Yang family can't find?"

Li Rui said: "You really can't find it, I won't lie to you."

Of course I can't find it. A considerable part of the pile of things he mentioned was produced in Europe and America. They were not introduced to China until the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It's still very early now.

In fact, it was not easy for the ancients in China. They were always quite hard to eat. China had no shortage of staple food, including soybeans, millet, sorghum, rice, wheat, etc., and the variety was quite abundant; there was also no shortage of meat, including chicken, turtles, gooses, gooses, sheep, pigs and dogs, as well as various aquatic products, and the variety was also very rich. If you were tired of eating these, you could go up the mountain to hunt. If you were lucky, you could hunt a deer, even a wolf, a wild dog and other meals. The fruits were also made up, such as dates, pears, oranges, plums, apricots, etc., which were all native to China, and the grapes, walnuts and pomegranates introduced from the Western Regions were also quite rich.

However, in terms of vegetables, China is really short of it.

China began to enter the farming era as early as 10,000 years ago, but the history of Chinese people growing vegetables on a large scale was very short, so until the Tang Dynasty, most Chinese people's vegetables were still mainly wild vegetables.

Do you think it is a good thing to eat wild vegetables every day when you eat them?

I think beautifully. The ancients basically had green, tender, chewed, and would not poison people. They could stuff them into their mouths. There were many of them, which were obviously wild weeds, or the taste was similar to wild weeds. They could withstand the test of the increasingly tricky mouths of Chinese people. The vegetables that have been passed down to modern times were actually more than a dozen types of bamboo shoots, leeks, perillas, sunflower, cabbage, etc.

Which vegetable did the ancients eat the most? The answer is sunflower. It’s not that it tastes so delicious, mainly because this dish tastes sticky and smooth, and it can be swallowed without adding much oil. Therefore, the ancient times, when cooking oil was very scarce, was very popular and was fuel-efficient. Cabbage did not become popular until the Yuan Dynasty, because since the Song Dynasty, with the continuous advancement of oil pressing technology, the number of oil crops increased, and the yield of cooking oil gradually increased. Everyone was willing to add oil when cooking. The reason was that the cabbage, which was difficult to swallow because it was reluctant to add oil, became very delicious. Foodies immediately kicked the sunflower that had been eaten for thousands of years to Java Island and happily invited the cabbage to the table. From then on, cabbage became the main vegetable on the Chinese table. In the following thousand years, no one could shake its status.

Cucumbers, bitter gourds, eggplants, etc., as well as seasoned onions and garlic, were all introduced from the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty. As for tomatoes, pumpkins, and peppers, they did not slowly leave America and were introduced to China until the Age of Discovery.

Alas, the ancients were so pitiful. What good things have you eaten? You can’t even eat a bowl of tomato and egg noodles!

Therefore, if you want to go back to the ancient times and experience the life of the ancients, it is best to first develop the ability to dig wild vegetables, otherwise, you will really have no vegetables to eat!
