Although the Han army now has unified command, they still have their own cooks, but the food has been unified in quality because of Qin Hao.
The food standard in the army cannot be too high, of course, the Yanmen Army is an exception.
In general, "meat" is unlikely to appear once a year among ordinary Han soldiers, but the Yanmen Army eats it once a week.
Of the 30,000 Yanmen cavalry who went south, there are now less than 20,000.
However, the 20,000 cavalry enjoy the highest treatment as a soldier, and even other cavalry are far behind.
Such a huge difference in treatment naturally caused dissatisfaction among other Han soldiers, but there was nothing they could do about it. Who made the commander of the Yanmen Army the Grand Governor?
Finally, Governor Qin Wen left, but Qin Hao became the new general.
Ordinary Han soldiers could only keep their dissatisfaction in their hearts, and this also caused conflicts among the soldiers at the bottom.
There were more and more minor frictions between the two sides, and eventually they reached Qin Hao's ears.
Qin Hao can also understand this. After all, they are all Han soldiers, but the treatment gap is so huge, which will definitely make other soldiers feel unbalanced.
So Qin Hao ignored the protests of quartermaster Zhou Yi and directly ordered the entire army to enjoy the same food treatment as the Yanmen Army, simply and crudely unifying the food levels of the entire army.
This order not only allowed Qin Hao to gain the support of the lower-level soldiers, but also stabilized the restless military morale.
Of course, there are also disadvantages, that is, the consumption of food and grass has increased by 50%, especially meat.
"Brothers, is there horsemeat in today's meal?"
A middle-aged soldier waiting in line said excitedly.
"Really?"
Hearing this, a rough and arrogant man said with a nostalgic look on his face: "After I ate it last time, I will never forget the taste in my life."
A soldier behind the big man interjected sourly: "I heard that General Qin Hao captured tens of thousands of dead horses from the Yellow Turbans in these battles. The Yanmen Army has meat to eat every day."
"Nonsense, I've been to the Yanmen Army Camp. Their food is the same as ours. Besides, even if there are tens of thousands of dead horses, they can't afford tens of thousands of people to eat every day."
"Be content. The horse meat was captured by the Yanmen Army with all their might. It's already a great honor for the champion to share it with us."
"Yes, I have eaten meat once in my life. I thought I would never be able to eat it again in this life, but who would have thought that I would eat it after joining the army? Thanks to the champion."
When the strong man heard this, he couldn't help but murmured: "I really wish I could have meat to eat every day."
"It's not easy to eat meat. Just join the Yanmen Army. But the key is, do they want you?"
The strong man stared at the man and said angrily: "What a joke, I am worse than those people in Yanmen? I am not afraid even if I pick one out of ten."
"Pull him down, you are the only one out of ten? Do you think you are Brother Xue?"
When someone mentioned 'Brother Xue', the strong man was choked and speechless. He hesitated and said: "How can it be the same? With Brother Xue's ability, he is more than enough to be a general. How can I compare?"<
/p>
When everyone heard this, they all looked at the man at the head of the team who was serving food, and then couldn't help but shake their heads.
It is a pity that such a capable person was left as a cook in the gang leader army.
Yuan Shu had nearly 10,000 soldiers under his command, and there were probably nearly a hundred people in charge of cooking, and Xue Rengui was one of them. But he was anything but ordinary.
Qin Hao originally thought that Xue Rengui, who became the leader of the gang, would not have any chance to show his reputation, but who knew that everyone would know it if he asked, and he seemed to have become a legend among Yuan Shu's army.
The biggest reason why Xue Rengui is so famous, besides his martial arts and strength, is his amazing appetite.
There were even rumors in the army that Xue Rengui could eat a hundred people's meals in one meal. Qin Hao definitely didn't believe it, but after actually seeing it with his own eyes, Qin Hao was shocked.
After Xue Rengui finished his work, he would also eat with ordinary soldiers, but others used bowls, and he used... basins!
Qin Hao saw that there was no one around Xue Rengui, so he went to start a conversation with his meal, but Xue Rengui was only focused on eating and didn't even look at Qin Hao.
Seeing that Xue Rengui was eating rice so deliciously, Qin Hao did not disturb him, but just sat across from him and watched him eat quietly.
Qin Hao became more and more surprised as he watched. One bowl, two bowls, three bowls, Xue Rengui actually ate three bowls of rice in front of Qin Hao.
Note, that is not a bowl, but a basin.
Serving a hundred people is indeed an exaggeration, but three pots is a big deal. Is this still a human stomach?
After eating, Xue Rengui finally found someone sitting across from him, but his attention was all on Qin Hao's bowl.
"Um? I see, little brother, you haven't used your chopsticks yet. Is the food not to your liking?"
Xue Rengui asked with a smile, but his eyes never left Qin Hao's bowl.
The stunned Qin Hao finally came to his senses, but he didn't hear what Xue Rengui said clearly. He just said in a daze: "Ah?"
Xue Rengui seemed to hear it as "um" and was immediately overjoyed.
"That's great. Let me help you eat, little brother. It's rare to have meat. It would be a waste not to eat it."
As he said this, Xue Rengui picked up Qin Hao's bowl and started eating, leaving the horse meat for last.
Seeing that Xue Rengui was finally satisfied, Qin Hao asked knowingly: "Are you Xue Li?"
"Yes, little brother, do you know me?"
"I heard that there was a big eater in General Yuan Shu's army, and when I saw him today, he certainly lived up to his reputation."
Faced with Qin Hao's joke, Xue Rengui didn't care at all. Instead, he laughed "haha" and asked: "Little brother, aren't you a subordinate of General Yuan?"
"I am General Qin Hao's personal guard. I am responsible for conveying orders to General Yuan. I will stay here for a meal by the way."
"Are you the champion's personal guard? Then little brother, you have to work hard. I heard that the champion paid special attention to training his personal guards. Many people who came out of the personal guard camp are holding important positions in the Yanmen Army." Xue Rengui smiled lightly.
He said without the slightest hint of envy in his words.
Seeing this, Qin Hao asked with a smile: "I heard that Yuan Jun's brothers said that Brother Xue, you are not only superb in martial arts, but also powerful, so why are you at the head of this group?"
Xue Rengui chuckled lightly and said calmly: "If you accidentally offend Shangguan, what can you do?"
Qin Hao knew that the Shangguan Xue Rengui was talking about was Yuan Shu. When he wanted to dig into the gossip, Xue Rengui just shook his head and sighed, keeping silent about the specific incident.
Seeing this, Qin Hao pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "General Yuan Shu really has no eyesight. Talents like Brother Xue are discarded as useless."
Seeing that Xue Rengui was in a low mood, Qin Hao asked again: "I wonder if Brother Xue still has the ambition to make contributions?"
Xue Rengui was stunned when he heard this. He couldn't help but think of his wife who was suffering in the cold and waiting for him to go back when he became famous. He couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart
