C1327 Where's the General

"General Ren won't let Chef Yang cook for us. Let him cook for us. If Chef Yang doesn't want to cook for us, he will hit him with the baton!"

"He even said he wanted to break Chef Yang's legs."

"General, please make the decision for Chef Yang!"

It was not a big deal for one person to say it. It was not a big deal for two people to say it. However, if it was three or four people in a group, hundreds of people would prove Yang Soong's innocence.

Ren Yi Fan started to panic. "All of you, shut up!"

Zuo Yu's eyes became even colder. He looked at Ren Yifan and said, "You like to play with sticks so much. Go and take it yourself."

The one in charge of hitting the baton was Zuo Yu's trusted aide. He knew very well what kind of person he was.

Ren Yifan, a disciple who relied on the family's protection to come in, usually went out to hunt for grass. He liked to hide behind people and take credit the most.

Zuo Yu had long disliked him, but this fellow did not have any self-awareness at all.

He was courting death in a rush.

This time, Ren Yifan wouldn't be a general anymore, or he would be chased out of the camp.

There was no need to hold back when hitting a military baton, as long as he could not be killed.

Zuo Yu said to Yang Soong, "Continue."

No one dared to disturb Yang Soong anymore.

An hour later, the fragrance of the big iron pot began to fill the air. Yang Soong brought his men and increased the amount of powder inside.

It made people speechless.

"This powder looks like a rope. Can it really be eaten?"

"I don't know. But I really heard that Chef Yang's culinary skills are very good."

"I also heard that Chef Yang also wants to cook the noodles for the common people in the whole of White Water City at dusk. He came to cook it for us first."

"Once, the prefectural magistrate invited Chef Yang to his house for a private banquet and even gave him several hundred taels of silver. Chef Yang himself brought pork and noodles for us to cook. He's really a good person."

"Aren't we always proud of ourselves?"

"Yes, he has a name even better than the prefectural magistrate, hahaha!"

...

The fragrance of pork and ribs became stronger. The strips of powder became soft under the stewing and absorbed more soup. Yang Soong added more pickled vegetables and cabbage as well as radish meatballs into the pot.

"There are so many vegetables. It smells so good. There must be a lot of oil."

"That's right, that's right!"

Having stewed pork noodles to this extent was actually already good enough. The cook in the military camp had already steamed the buns.

Each of them had two buns and a large bowl of pork stew noodles.

There was meat, noodles, and vegetables. It was hot and fragrant.

"Smells good! So good!"

"Meat with bones, hahaha!"

"And this pill, it also has meat!"

"Quickly eat the noodles, it's too delicious. The taste of the meat soup is even better than meat!"

"It's like eating noodles. It's chewy and chewy!"

"With this dish, even the steamed buns stuffed into my throat are more delicious than usual."

"This noodle is really delicious!"

"What exactly did you make? It's even more convenient to eat it than noodles!"

"It's warm after eating!"

"Based on experience, this thing is enough to fill my stomach."

Not only did the ordinary soldiers feel that it was delicious, but even the generals felt that it was delicious too.

Zuo Yu looked at the empty bowl on the table and could not help but think.

"You said that the powder was directly stored in a cloth bag and pulled over?"

"Yes. Some were directly placed in the basin and transported over. In the beginning, the powder was very dry and hard. After being boiled in the pot, it became soft and could even absorb the soup."

It was only after absorbing the gravy that it became soft and mellow.

Zuo Yu specially went to see Yang Soong. This time, he cupped his hands to Yang Soong very seriously. This could be considered a courtesy.

"Chef Yang, do you have time to chat?"

"Sure." Yang Soong agreed.

Zuo Yu was not a boor. A boor could not stay in White Water City for more than ten years.

He was brave and resourceful. He sympathized with his subordinates and cared for ordinary soldiers.

The reason why Ren Yi Fan succeeded in seeking death was not because he was targeting Yang Soong, but because he dared to belittle and humiliate soldiers in front of Zuo Yu.

He dared to do so in front of Zuo Yu, but he did not know what to do behind his back.

Zuo Yu could not tolerate it.

The reason Yang Soong dared to come and reward the army was because he knew the character of the general in charge.

"People of the army, just say what you want to say. Is it convenient to preserve the powder cooked by Chef Yang?"

As expected of the general in charge, his eyesight was extraordinary.

Yang Soong said, "As long as it is dry, it is easy to preserve and transport."

A bunch of fans were sent in.

The white dried silk was hard and crispy.

"It can be crushed, but it doesn't affect food consumption. With enough water, it can be cooked. It can be used for cooking, but it can be soaked in water and soft. It can even be used to make steamed buns."

Yang Soong personally practiced.

"The only thing you need to pay attention to is that you don't need to lose. Otherwise, if you eat it hard, you will easily get indigestion. You just need to eat one meal a day."1

One must not underestimate the digestive ability of the people in the military camp, especially in the ancient times. They usually did not have enough to eat, and they would not be indigestible.

"This is made from that potato?" Zuo Yu naturally knew what happened in the city.

"Yes, making potatoes is very simple. It's best if you have experience. General can send troops over to Hundred Phoenix Pavilion to learn from them."

"You're willing to teach them?" Of course, Zuo Yu knew that Yang Soong had already shown how to make powder in front of everyone yesterday.

However, he felt that Yang Soong must have hidden some secret recipes that could be hidden in public.

This was what most businessmen did.

"If you want to, anyone can learn it." Yang Soong did not plan to hide it. "But when potatoes germinate, you can't eat them. There are some things you need to pay attention to when making noodles. If you want to learn it, you need to follow a professional."

"How much school fees?" Zuo Yu understood that this was a transaction.

"No school fees." Yang Soong said.

Zuo Yu said, "Then what do you want?"

He looked down on merchants.

Yang Soong said, "Potato and sweet potatoes are easy to grow, and the yield is also large. I have already tested it, and I believe the general has heard about it."

Yang Soong did not believe that Zuo Yu had not heard about the matter of Little Qingshan.

"Since ancient times, the quantity of goods has always been cheap. I hope the General can control the city gate army and not blame the ordinary people who enter the city to sell potatoes and sweet potatoes."

Border cities, the city gates were completely managed by the military camp.

"This is it?"

"That's not easy. After all, ordinary citizens have no ability to fight back"

The ordinary people knew that the people did not fight with the officials, and they could not argue with the soldiers. If they were forced to accept things or collect more money, they would say that they were unlucky in their hearts. On the surface, they still had to thank the Grand Commandant.

"In the future, the ordinary people will be peddlers. They will not charge anything less than five kilograms per person."

The conditions were too simple, and Zuo Yu could not help but suspect, "There are no other conditions?"

Yang Soong paused. "Can we charge less for selling the powder?"

Why was it just a small matter? It was not worth mentioning.

"General, it's a small matter. Those families who can't eat enough and can't eat meat for the rest of their lives are not small matters." Yang Soong said.

"The same goes for the powder. No charges are charged for anything less than five kilos per person."

"Thank you, General. I don't have any other conditions. I'm very satisfied. The northern camp can arrange for people to learn how to make the powder at any time."

Zuo Yu immediately sent out ten assistants.

"How do we plant potatoes and sweet potatoes?" Zuo Yu knew that someone had set up a roadblock on Little Qingshan's side, preventing others from going over.

How to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes was top secret.
