Daqin Engineering Corps

"Noodles."

"Come and see, there is a share."

"I'll serve you a bowl too."

As he said that, he really served Ying Zheng a bowl.

Ying Zheng looked at the thing called "noodles" in his hand in a daze.

This thing is long, thin, white and round. As the king of a country, I have never seen it, let alone eaten it.

Look at the group of soldiers again, they have been eaten into one piece.

At the same time, there were bursts of praise from his mouth vaguely:

"Master, these noodles... are simply delicious."

"Brother...Gao Ming. I only know that you can only improve the trebuchet, who would have thought..."

"It's unbelievable... Even the delicacies of mountains and seas are not as good as it is, it's so delicious..."

……

Zhao Gao was about to step forward to reprimand him but was stopped by Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng also seemed unable to resist the temptation, he picked up the wooden bowl and chopsticks...

Zhao Gao wanted to stop him but didn't dare, he could only watch helplessly as Ying Zheng carried the noodles into the entrance.

Ying Zheng was skeptical at first, but soon his eyes widened.

Then, just like other people, he started to gobble it up regardless of his appearance, which made Zhao Gao swallow his saliva all the time.

You must know that the food in the Qin Dynasty can be said to be extremely scarce.

Vegetables are no more than five vegetables plus one kind of squash, and meat is either eaten raw or roasted or boiled in a cauldron.

The popular idioms are the first two methods.

Flavorful food has little but sauce.

So this sauce-pressed noodle from modern practice is naturally very popular.

A bowl of noodles was quickly eaten upside down, and Ying Zheng's eyes were fixed on the little remnant left in the wok.

It wasn't until Zhao Gao made a "huh hum" that he realized that there were several disguised cavalry beside him.

It’s delicious to eat, but it’s too much for the king of a country to grab leftovers!

Ying Zheng wiped his mouth, stepped forward and asked:

"I don't know who made these noodles with what?"

Fatty Tun replied cheerfully:

"You must have never thought of it."

"It's made by my master from rice."

As he said that, Fatty Tun raised his head in the direction of Shen Bing.

Ying Zheng looked at Shen Bing with disbelief:

"Don't bully me."

"How can glutinous rice be so delicious?!"

Chapter 74 This is just polite talk...

Seeing that Na Buge smiled, he raised his head and poured the last bit of noodles into his mouth, chewing while answering:

"Why should I deceive you?"

"Is there any other benefit?"

Before he finished speaking, a hairpin squeezed in with a small half bag of rice, and said with a greedy expression:

"Senior brother, just now it's only half a bowl for each person, how can we enjoy it?"

"I'm going to do more tooth-beating sacrifices this time."

Everyone agreed:

"Exactly."

"Tell that gang leader to take out all the rations I've been waiting for and make these noodles!"

"It's a good idea. I'm afraid I won't get tired of eating these noodles for a lifetime."

……

Then the hairpin raised its head to Ying Zheng again:

"If you don't believe me."

"I'll stay and see for myself how the noodles are made."

Seeing that the soldier was so rude, Zhao Gao was about to reprimand him but Ying Zheng stopped him with his eyes.

I don't know whether it's curiosity or just a moment of playfulness, but at this moment Ying Zheng wants to hang out with these soldiers just like this.

So he didn't reveal his identity, just watched with interest from the sidelines.

When that Bu Geng pushed the white flour from the stone mill to ooze out from the side, Ying Zheng couldn't help but let out a "huh".

"What is this thing?"

"Can you grind rice into powder?"

"And so easy!"

Hairpin explained triumphantly from the side:

"This is because you have less knowledge."

"This is the stone mill made by my brother."

"There is no one before, and there will be no one to come...there is only one in the world."

Yingzheng didn't take it seriously at first.

Because he didn't believe that these soldiers could make such brilliant utensils.

It's just that they learned it from where but they are talking nonsense here.

But then thinking about Ying Zheng, he secretly wondered:

If this is the case, why have you never seen this... stone mill before?

I have never seen a stone mill.

The noodles are so delicious and can be made with only boiled rice, how could he, as the king of a country, not know?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but believe it.

So I took a closer look at it.

Just when Yingzheng was hesitating, he saw Shangzao casually saying while collecting the flour:

"What is this?"

"The trebuchet improved by the master is the one that has never been seen before."

"If it weren't for this trebuchet, how could our army have captured the Zhangfu Great Wall?"

"You must know that I have been waiting to attack the Great Wall for several months, and more than a hundred thousand people have nothing to do with it."

"As soon as the master's trebuchet came out, Zhao Jun was defeated in just a few days!"

Ying Zheng couldn't help being surprised:

"You mean... you wait to improve the trebuchet..."

"Breaking the Great Wall?"

Shangzao looked at Yingzheng with an incredulous expression, and said:

"This is because you have less knowledge."

"It's not just about breaking the Great Wall. We also use this trebuchet to burn Wo Niu Mountain and defeat the Zhao army."

"Use this trebuchet to attack Handan again."

"If there is no such trebuchet, I don't know how many years and months I will be able to stand here."

Ying Zheng and Zhao Gao couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this.

These are things they don't know.

This is not intentional concealment by Wang Jian, Yang Duanhe and others.

Instead, what is reported to Xianyang is the result of the battle, such as where our army has attacked, where our army has been blocked, etc.

As for the details, it will naturally be reported after the war.

Ying Zheng was shocked because he never imagined that this unassuming soldier in front of him could make such a miraculous feat.

Perhaps sensing the strange gazes of Ying Zheng and Zhao Gao, he waved his hand and replied casually:

"Hey, it's just a little thing."

"Don't listen to my disciple's nonsense."

"If it weren't for my Wang Lijing to rule and personally train the officials, how would we have achieved today's achievements?"

"If it weren't for the general's strategy and command, how could we be so powerful?"

"The improved trebuchet is just icing on the cake, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!"

What Shen Bing said was just polite words.

This kind of cliché doesn't just come out of the mouth in modern times.

For example, if you are praised in the company, you will immediately reply:

"Don't dare, if there is no leadership cultivation, where would I be today?"

Shen Bing said this a lot in modern times, and even said it numbly...

So the habit became natural, and Shen Bing at this time naturally wanted to praise the leader.

Who is this leader?

Of course it is the king and the general!

And, of course, put the king first.

Of course, Shen Bing didn't expect that the shooter was unintentional, but the listener was very happy.

Ying Zheng took this statement seriously...

Of course Ying Zheng has no shortage of praise.

In fact, all kinds of praise words never stopped in his ears every day.

However, Ying Zheng knew that it was nothing more than flattery, so he had little interest.

This time it is different, this person who doesn't even know his identity but has such a high opinion of himself, it must be sincere.

Energize for governance and personally practice all the ministers!

Well said!

Isn't this what widows do every day in court?

For a moment, Ying Zheng was praised so much that his heart was full of excitement, and his frowns unconsciously relaxed.

Talent, talent!

Not only is he resourceful and has repeatedly made outstanding achievements.

What's even more rare is that after making meritorious service, he is neither arrogant nor impetuous, neither arrogant nor blind (gǔ), and is willing to let himself go. (Note 1)

How can my Daqin not be strong with such talents?
