At the same time as the bloody battle in Chifeng, Yang Fan was marching with his army. It was not close from the Suifen River Basin to the Liaohe River, Taizi River, and Hun River Basin. Not only was the distance long, but the mountains were now covered with heavy snow, and there was three feet of snow on the flat ground.
The snow was up to the waist, making walking very difficult.
You also need to pay attention to your feet, especially on the north wind slope. The wind blows the snow foam to the other side of the mountain ridge line and accumulates it. You have no idea how deep the snow is. If you accidentally fall, some snow pockets are more than ten meters deep. If you don't
If someone saves you, you can't climb up on your own.
If we want to see the light of day again, we have to start next spring when the ice and snow melt.
Fortunately, Yang Fan developed steam bulldozers and steam rollers in advance. With these two artifacts, marching through the forests and snowfields in the Northeast was no longer a problem.
During the march, the tribes along the way heard that they were going to hunt for slaves and joined in one after another.
They are not interested in anyone to fight, but they are interested in the military salary promised by Master Yang. These are materials that they usually only dream of getting.
Now the trade with the Ming Dynasty in the south has been blocked by the damn Jiannu. This makes them miserable.
In the past, when Liaodong was under the Ming Dynasty, they could at least go to Kaiyuan and Tieling to trade every autumn. Now Liaodong has become a battlefield. They have completely cut off the source of supplies from the south.
These savage Jurchens basically couldn't weave or smelt iron, so they could only wear animal skins and use bone needles. Yang Fan promised them cloth, salt, and rice as military pay and rewards. Their eyes were filled with tears.
It's red. I haven't seen rice in many years.
Originally, they were very scared when they saw the large group of people, but when they discovered that the group was composed of Jurchens from the East China Sea, they boldly ran out to make contact, but they did not expect that such a good thing would happen.
The bulldozers rumbled forward. The snow was pushed to both sides by three bulldozers traveling side by side. The rollers behind directly compacted the ice and snow, so that the army could walk easily.
When there were trees along the way, the bulldozers directly knocked down the trees, even uprooted them, and then flattened the ground. The savages from the East China Sea watched in horror.
He worshiped Mr. Yang as a god.
This kind of steel monster that can move without relying on oxen or horses, and that sprays black smoke and water vapor, is nothing if not a miracle.
Although the marching speed is only four kilometers per hour, it is not too slow if we continue walking.
That night, the army stopped advancing and camped where it was.
Yang Fan and his wife were eating on the second floor of the polar RV. During the march, the food was all supplies stored in the Vladivostok warehouse. They were transported by steam trucks. The most transported were frozen dumplings.
Yang Fan has plenty of flour, but here the most is venison.
Therefore, the food factory at the Vladivostok base hired naturalized savage women to work as female workers in the factory, responsible for making dumplings and steamed buns. They were then frozen, packed in cloth bags, and stored in warehouses. They could be eaten until the beginning of next spring.
Because the dumplings can be eaten as soon as they are cooked, it is very fast and convenient. It also provides dumpling soup and even boiling water is not needed. It is a very suitable food for camping.
Venison is very delicious, with tender meat, delicious taste and a lot of lean meat. Venison has less connective tissue such as fascia and can be used to cook a variety of dishes. Venison is rich in protein, fat, inorganic salt, sugar and a certain amount of
vitamins and are easily digested and absorbed by the human body.
The ingredients for these venison-filled dumplings are: hazelnut mushrooms, black pepper, sugar, chopped onions, etc. Onions have been planted in the Suifen River Basin. Because venison is too thin, some dried vegetables need to be added with vegetable oil and water, and soaked repeatedly.
tasty.
For places where onions are grown, temperature and precipitation are two important factors.
Heilongjiang has long winters and low temperatures, so it is considered unsuitable for growing onions all year round.
However, there are some areas in Heilongjiang Province that are more suitable for growing onions, such as Mudanjiang City, Jiamusi City, Jixi City, Harbin City, etc. These areas have a mild climate, suitable temperatures, abundant precipitation, long-lasting sunlight during the day, and humid nights.
The temperature is relatively high, and these conditions are conducive to the growth of onions.
Vladivostok and Shuangchengzi are very close to the Mudanjiang River Basin, so onions can be grown. These things are easy to preserve, are kind to people, and are very good ingredients.
The pig farms here have just begun to be built. They are still small and cannot provide much meat. At present, the main focus is to expand the scale. It will take a few more years to eat pork until the scale of pig farming is large.
The meat currently available mainly comes from game obtained by hunting, with venison and roe deer being the most abundant ingredients. After all, wild deer and roe deer run all over the mountains and plains here. There are as many as you want. Deerskin is already a major source of money for Vladivostok.
Roe deer meat is too fishy, dry and woody, and is far less delicious than venison. Apart from being easy to hunt, it has no advantages. After all, it is not called silly roe deer. So the final choice was venison.
These frozen venison stuffed dumplings were warmly welcomed by the women from the East China Sea. They had never eaten such delicious food. Some of them bit their lips and some bit their cheeks when they ate it for the first time, and almost swallowed it with their tongues.
.
These frozen dumplings, each fifty pounds in a bag, were transported by steam trucks and distributed to these savages. They used the large iron pots they were issued to shovel in the ice and snow, then boiled water and cooked the dumplings.
Lord Donkey Dan would also give them to a group of fifty people a small tinplate bucket of vinegar and a small jar of chili oil. Even the vinegar was frozen and had to be burned every time before it could be eaten.
These people have never had vinegar or chili oil in their lives, and it makes them look bad.
Vinegar can whet the appetite and relieve fatigue, and chili oil can prevent cold. Ever since they ate these two things, they can no longer live without them. Especially the chive flower sauce and wild onion, wild garlic and chili paste in the small iron bucket, which are delicious and delicious.
The dumplings are so good.
The leaders ran to chat with Mr. Donkey Dan one by one, just to get more chili oil, chive flowers and garlic paste.
Xiao Niangpi and other prodigal ladies don’t know how to eat frozen dumplings. They want to eat freshly made dumplings.
They felt that making dumplings with their master was a kind of warmth of family life. However, they did not like venison. They used stuffing made from deer fetus water and various mushrooms, wild onions and other ingredients.
Xiao Niangpi also invented fish-filled dumplings, which were made from fish without burrs in the river. They were very delicious. Yang Fan was also convinced. Xiao Niangpi was not only a gourmet, but also a talented cook. Although she was both lame and meditating.
Shan shouted, he didn't touch the spring water with his fingers, it was all because he ordered Aunt Mei and the others to do it.
The steaming dumplings were served on the small kang table, and the ladies sat around happily, holding chopsticks and small plates, mixing their own sauces.
There is a small real fire fireplace next to it, which is burning red. There are no lights in the room. The red fire is not only enough for lighting, but also creates a warm atmosphere.
