It was dusk, and the golden crow was setting in the west.
As a single person, Chu Yao's kitchen basically does not cook, and all meals are prepared in the government canteen. For a core subordinate like him, he often forgets to eat when he is busy. For the sake of health, the master specially arranges a "meal delivery" service.
At this time of year, the days are still short and the nights are long.
As soon as we arrived at mealtime, the oil lamps in the government hall were lit.
"Put your things aside."
Chu Yao instructed the visitor without even raising his head.
The person in charge of delivering the meals was a woman in her thirties or forties.
She was wearing a simple dress made of hemp cloth and doing the manual labor of delivering meals. She looked stronger than ordinary women.
Chu Yao put down his pen and opened the lunch box.
On top was a bowl of thin oatmeal.
How thin is it
If he looked at it more carefully, he could count how many grains of wheat were there.
Chu Yao was surprised and asked, "What's wrong with this porridge?"
The woman answered respectfully.
"This was specially sent to you by the East Chef."
Chu Yao was puzzled: "East Kitchen?"
The woman remembered something and said, "It was also ordered by Mr. Shen. Not only do you have it, but Qi Zhubu and the others also have it..."
Everyone was given a bowl of thin oatmeal.
Chu Yao is not an exception.
Open the other layers of the food box, and the hot steam of the food will stimulate your taste buds. You can tell it tastes good just by sniffing it.
Except for the porridge on the top layer which made people confused, the dishes on the other layers were more abundant than usual.
The bottom layer is a wooden lunch box that has been carefully compacted - two vegetarian dishes, two meat dishes and one staple food, all of which are medium dishes, and are served with thin oatmeal porridge.
Although the appetite of a Wenxin scholar is not as big as that of a Wudan warrior, it is still better than that of an ordinary person. One person can eat the portion for two people.
Chu Yao chewed slowly.
It took a full quarter of an hour.
In the end, only the bowl of plain porridge was left.
The porridge is warm and good for moistening the throat and warming the stomach.
Qi Shan and others are all like this.
It was not until the next day that everyone in the meeting saw that the master was happy and had an expectant look of "ask me soon", and several people carefully guessed a few points. Gu Chi followed her wishes: "Master, the bowl of porridge last night tasted good."
This is complete nonsense.
I didn't taste it, I just drank the water.
Gu Chi asked, "I wonder if I can have this blessing today?"
Shen Tang walked down the stairs contentedly, his eyes shining with laughter, and he kept everyone in suspense: "Well, whether or not you can have this blessing is not up to me. You shouldn't ask me, you should ask Lingde. If she says yes, then yes..."
Lingde
Chu Yao pays special attention when it comes to students.
How does this matter have anything to do with Lingde
Gu Chi smiled and joked, "My Lord, if that's what you said, could it be that Lingde brought it back specially for us?"
Although, but…
This porridge is too thin!
Shen Tang dropped a big bomb: "That's not the case. I should say that it was brought specially for me. But I'm not the kind of person who likes to eat alone, so I asked the kitchen to prepare those wheat ears and make porridge for you guys to enjoy."
Even Jiang Sheng, who joined last, figured out something strange—are these wheat ears made of gold
It is so precious in the mouth of the lord.
Is it so precious that it deserves the word "eating alone"
Jiang Sheng secretly observed the expressions of his colleagues and found that some of them were confused or frowning. Only Chu Yao's pupils trembled slightly, and he wanted to stand up on the spot to express his shock. He said: "My lord, do you mean - this is born from Lingde Yanling?"
Shen Tang smiled and said, "Yes."
Others also thought of this later.
It is not difficult to create things with words, and both scholars and warriors can do it. For example, the former's "literary wall" and the latter's "military armor horse" are all creations of words.
But their existence is not stable, or it does not last long, which is fundamentally different from Shen Tang's stable food that is eaten. Chu Yao and others have also studied it. For a period of time, they ate pancakes, fried dough sticks and green plum wine every day.
The conclusion is -
have no idea.
And Lingde became the second one!
This is undoubtedly good news and exciting.
But it was a little too early for them to be happy.
"I cannot create something out of nothing like you did, my lord, and transform cultural energy into the appearance of food and preserve it for a long time."
Lin Feng was ashamed. She could only stimulate the growth of wheat seeds, making them sprout and grow, but she needed to expend more spiritual energy to mature them. The current limit was thirty bundles of wheat ears, after which her spiritual energy would be completely wasted, and the output would only be enough to make two or three bowls of wheat rice.
Chu Yao comforted his student and told her not to be so unconscious: "Even this is rare. How old are you? When your palace is completed, it should be no problem to support a team of hundreds of people. Do you know what this means?"
Lin Feng asked: "Feed hundreds of people?"
Chu Yao shook his head and said, "How can it be that simple? If these hundreds of people are all elite, they can go out lightly without carrying any military supplies and directly launch sneak attacks and harassment behind the enemy. Have you ever thought about how fast this is? Unless the enemy can ensure that there is sufficient supply of food and grass along the way, otherwise, they will be unable to pursue once the food and grass they carry are exhausted."
Why are Shiwu and Beimo so annoying
Because every time there was a good harvest, they would come on horseback with a few days' worth of food to plunder when they were short of food. They would rob and leave. They were few in number and fast, so it was not easy to catch them. When marching and fighting, they competed with each other in terms of military strength on the surface and logistics in secret.
In war, the most consumed things are food and supplies.
A Wudan warrior comes with his own weapons and horses.
But the food problem cannot be solved.
A wheat seed can produce a bunch of wheat ears. Lin Feng can ensure that these hundreds of elite soldiers can fight for a long time without worrying about food shortages. The problem of carrying military rations is completely solved.
Who doesn’t like leading troops to fight
It's so rare!
Most importantly, Lin Feng is a scholar of literature and will be trained to be an army soldier in the future. He can fight and arrange battles externally and ensure logistics internally. He is an all-round player! Didn't you see how obsessed Gong Shuwu and Xian Yujian were with her
Shen Tang said: "Maximize mobility! Theoretically, if the Dewen Palace is completed one day and the cultural atmosphere is abundant, you and Banbu, with 500 elite soldiers, can stir up trouble in the rear of Shiwu. I heard that Shiwu Beimo is a scattered tribe. If you destroy one, you can go straight to the next one. They want to catch you, haha, it's just a daydream!"
You’re dreaming!
Lin Feng was dumbfounded.
Is this possible
She studied with her teacher, mostly learning about internal affairs.
In her opinion, she could develop in the direction of optimizing wheat seeds - the amount of spiritual energy required to simply induce the germination of wheat seeds saved much more than directly forcing the wheat seeds to mature - if the wheat seeds produced by her hands were more drought-resistant, flood-resistant, disease-resistant and high-yielding than ordinary wheat seeds, how many common people would be able to avoid hunger
There are too many people in this world who have never had a full meal in their entire lives. It seems that they were born into this world only to experience endless suffering.
You can only be liberated when the punishment is over.
In a moment, Lin Feng had made up his mind: "The student will work harder and live up to the high expectations of the lord and teacher."
to fight foreign wars;
To keep the people safe internally.
She wants them all!
The meeting ended and Lin Feng was left behind.
She whispered her plans.
Shen Tang thought for a moment - her and Chu Yao's first reaction was to use it in war, but Lin Feng's idea could benefit more people and should not be discarded - she made a decision.
"I'll have someone allocate a few acres of land to you, and you'll be responsible for recording the entire process. If the wheat seeds that you germinate with your spirit perform better in all aspects than ordinary naturally germinated wheat seeds, you'll have a lot to do in the future."
Good quality grain seeds play a decisive role in the harvest.

"In the Spring Ploughing Sacrifice, I will be the main priest and you will be the assistant priest."
