Wang Ba studied for a long time and then invited people from the Datang Research Institute to come over. This was cooked with wild vegetables mixed with who knows what, and then there was a big lump of extremely salty soup mixed with that who knew what it was.
eating together.
The Japanese were given two rice balls for extra meals in the evening. They ate at most half of them, and kept the rest to take home. After asking around, I found out that the Japanese would eat two rice balls for a whole day during the war.
.One for each meal!
Because there was only one dock, the unloading speed was too slow. After two days of eating dry rations, Niu Ben's soldiers began to have a disagreement. After running at sea for ten days, they finally reached the shore, but they were still eating their marching rations.
It’s not like there’s no fresh water here, and there are plenty of supplies on the ship, so we have to let them have a meal.
After this commotion, Wang Ba's men followed suit with these.
When they came to Datian City, they almost starved to death here. The Japanese fed them the same food as feeding birds.
"Then let's have dinner. I happen to be hungry too!" Wang Ba actually woke up from hunger early in the morning. The Japanese didn't eat at night. He chatted with Ohta Kazuo and didn't go back to the boat, so he didn't eat either.
Water is easy to handle. There are hundreds of Japanese serfs here to carry water.
There is no need for firewood at all, there is a coal stove on the ship.
In order not to interfere with the Japanese people's movement of cargo when the ship docked at the port, they carried the cook onto the pier.
On the other side, there were thousands of Japanese people queuing up. A very formal contract, from the Ministry of Punishment of the Tang Dynasty, was made in two copies. Each copy was a piece of paper, almost the size of a B5.
With the contract, the family can receive one stone of rice every month.
A package of real rice is equivalent to a stone, and there is absolutely no fraud. Because many Japanese people have also participated in packaging, they know very well how much rice is packed.
The gong for starting work over there has already sounded, and the team here is starting to get a little chaotic.
They planned to press their fingerprints and ask their families to take the rice back, and then start work. You know, after one day of work, not only will there be four dumplings, but also five kilograms of rice.
"We will start working for an hour tonight." Wang Ba said very grandly.
The Overlord doesn't care about shipping goods, but these workers are the treasures, and it is his mission to bring them back to the Tang Dynasty.
At first, the soldiers of the Tang Army did not take action, but seeing more and more thin guys sneaking in, Wang Ba's soldiers began to pick people one by one.
Check your teeth, stretch your arms, and jump a few times, and then you have to be able to hold two stone meters for it to count.
Niu Ben was sitting on the dock waiting to eat, but after seeing this scene, he said to Wang Xuance, who was sitting next to him and also waiting to eat: "This feels very weird, a bit like picking an animal."
"You'll get used to it after seeing it too much." Wang Xuance replied in a low voice.
Niu Ben didn't answer. Anyway, his father, Niu Jinda, wasn't very kind to the natives in Kuching. Although he was never stingy about food, all the dirty, hard, tiring and dangerous work was done by the natives.
The work of people in the Tang Dynasty was mainly technical work, and there was almost no hard work in Nanyang.
"Do you have any fragrant military cakes on board?" Wang Xuance suddenly asked again.
The name of Xiangjun Biscuit sounds really good, but in fact it is not a good thing. It is a biscuit made from the residue left after pressing the caramel, plus some spices, salt, sugar, and flour. The only advantage is that it
The storage period of East and West is particularly long. It can be stored for half a year in the north and three months in Southeast Asia.
There is it on every ship. No one eats this stuff, but it is life-saving food at critical times.
No matter how brave you are on a sea-going ship, you would not dare to take less of this stuff. There are at least ten barrels on each ship of 500 tons. These ten barrels are enough to feed a ship for almost a month.
"Yes, I have twenty barrels on a boat. I originally planned to sell ten barrels to the Nanyang people as snacks. But this time I was short of time and set off after loading the rice, so I forgot about it. I originally planned to go here.
After finishing it, we will sell some to the peninsula when we resupply in Jeju Island."
"Okay, leave two barrels in one boat and give me the rest!"
Twenty-four boats, one boat with eighteen barrels, a total of one hundred and ninety-two barrels, the real weight of this barrel is two stones, that is, the total weight of these biscuits is three hundred and eighty-four stones, the weight of each biscuit
It was two taels. Wang Xuance asked Niu Ben to carry 192,000 biscuits off the ship.
Is this thing worth the money?
Li Yuanxing, King of Qin, cost only one penny per pound of candy. This stuff was scum.
Even with the addition of some spices, oil, salt, and sugar that was not very cleanly pressed originally, the actual cost of this thing is definitely lower than the shelled rice.
The most important thing is that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty would not eat biscuits unless they were desperate for food.
A new notice was posted again, and the first batch of people to board the ship were given five pieces of fragrant cakes at home.
"The people of the Tang Dynasty are crazy, or they are simply too rich. Those biscuits are delicacies that even the nobles like us have never tasted. It is such a waste to give them to those untouchables." The lord of Jiangtian City shouted.
Kazuo Oda didn't say anything, but pointed at the Tang soldiers who were cooking.
"What do you mean, Lord Datian!" Lord Jiangtian didn't understand.
"The food that people in the Tang Dynasty ate was called flour. I heard that in Chang'an City, fine flour like that cost two cents per catty. Only the best refined flour can be turned into such a special dough, so it must be higher than two cents per catty."
Ohta Kazuo said very seriously, and all the city lords turned their attention to the soldiers who were cooking.
Ramen, standard 14-button ramen (16,384 pieces).
There is a soup pot with clear water on one side, and on the other side, the contents of dozens of iron buckets are poured into the pot. When the water boils, the fragrance spreads for miles.
A bowl of noodle soup, with a few slices of radish on top, a handful of dried coriander, and a piece of beef, and a drizzle of red spicy oil on top, it's delicious enough to look at without even eating it.
The sergeants of the Tang Dynasty worked a lot and were trained hard, so their appetite should not be underestimated.
What is an old bowl? It is the tradition of the old Qin people. The bowl is one foot in diameter and is made of Yaozhou blue and white. The bowl of noodles is at least one pound and two taels of ramen in the Tang Dynasty. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty held it in one hand and squatted aside to eat it.
With.
"Ota-kun, have you eaten this morning?" Wang Ba walked towards the big pot with a smile.
Ohta Kazuo didn't eat because it was about ten o'clock in the morning, but the Japanese slave workers ate some rice balls because they had to go to work.
"A whole bowl!"
Kazuo Oda didn't refuse, but he definitely couldn't finish the bowl. There were also some small boats on the boat, five inches in diameter. In the words of Tang Dynasty soldiers, they were small bowls for women.
Four taels of noodles and a bowl of soup.
The Japanese city lords even loosened their belts. There was no need to wash the bowls, they had already licked them clean.
"Thank you General Wang for your warm hospitality!" Kazuo Ohta was very polite.
Wang Ba laughed loudly: "This is just to show my face, that's all. If you have the opportunity, come to Datang and set up a table." Wang Ba said this sincerely, and Ohta Kazuo only regarded it as being polite.
After another three days, all the rice was finally moved down.
Wang Ba angrily left the rice in Datian City: "I'll give this rice to you first."
Who would have thought that Kazuo Ohta did not keep them all, but distributed them to other city lords. He also found a few guys who were obviously dressed as pirates, gave them 50,000 kilometers of Japanese stone, and asked them to go to Kyoto to recruit people.
Each person has one stone of rice, and if ten people are recruited, they will be given one stone to recruit people, and it is also one stone per month.
Kazuo Ohta strongly requested to visit Datang.
There were twenty-four boats, with more than a thousand people crammed into each boat, and a full 30,000 people set out for Haizhou.
Haizhou is the location of Lianyungang in later generations. There is a military port there, and there is also a railway in Xuzhou that will be built directly to here, and these Japanese laborers will start working here.
From Wado to Haeju, the boat does not stop, so it can be easily reached in two days and one night.
Compared with the small wooden sailing boats of the Japanese, this is incomparable in terms of speed and safety.
There are already people in the Tang Dynasty to pick up the ship, including a sixth-grade officer from the Ministry of Industry, a seventh-grade captain from the Ministry of War, the local county magistrate and several minor officials responsible for receiving these people.
The ports of the Tang Dynasty were much better than those of the Japanese. Twenty-four ships docked at the port at the same time, and most of the Japanese laborers who were dizzy from seasickness and vomiting were carried down by their own people.
"Men go to the left, women go to the right. Line up." Dozens of sergeants in military uniforms held bamboo sticks and shouted in a Japanese language they had not been familiar with for half their lives. This time, there were four to five thousand Japanese female workers in Datang.
, it was quickly taken over by dozens of athletic women.
Kazuo Ohta was just curious, so he followed to see what Datang wanted these people to do.
After leaving the pier, there was a fenced area where water was diverted from the river. The first group of one hundred people were herded into the fence, and then they were asked to strip naked. Then someone took a big brush and poured lime water on it.
Brush these people, then brush again with soapy water, and finally rinse with clean water.
Kazuo Ohta looked carefully and saw that all the clothes of these people were thrown into the fire and burned.
Most of the men had their heads shaved, and each of them wore two sets of grey-blue, but very beautiful clothes.
Isn’t it beautiful? These are the ordinary linen work clothes worn by the lowest workers in the Tang Dynasty. There are two suits for each person, which can be washed and replaced. Then each person has a fine steel bowl, five inches in size. And then there is a fine steel water cup.
Then a bamboo basket.
Kazuo Ohta specially took a bamboo basket and opened it. Inside, there were two pairs of very strong gloves and a pair of shoes. Then there was a pack of cakes that smelled very fragrant, then a few pieces of candy, and another one that I don’t know what it was.
Something made like a shoulder armor.
From the fear of the Japanese when they were first asked to take off their clothes and wash their bodies, to their excitement after receiving the things. Dozens of people gathered around and kept talking in Japanese. The job of washing other people's bodies was also done by a few smart people.
The Japanese took it, then called for help, washed the workers behind, and then burned everyone's clothes.
It can be said that except for the people, everything that Wajima brought here was burned.
The men all shaved their heads, and the women were each given an extra headscarf, and were required to wear a headscarf whenever they were working! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
