Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 107 Wokuotai, another function of watermelon

nailed it!Zhang Yong is still very confident about growing watermelons and tomatoes. He has already conducted experiments in his tent before, and there is no problem with these seeds.

In addition, there are various soil fertilizer production methods among my friends of military-civilian talents.

It is not difficult to find a suitable piece of land and enough manpower to plant all these things.

"Thank you for your trust, Khan. Don't worry, Zhang Yong will not let you down. He will definitely give you a satisfactory result." Zhang Yong bowed to Genghis Khan and said.

"Well! That thing you just mentioned, tomato stewed beef, you go back and make a dish. When it's done, bring it over and let me try it to see if it's really as delicious as you said." Genghis Khan said.

It’s okay to eat this red fruit raw. It tastes similar to some fruits, but if Zhang Yong’s recipe makes it taste better, then he doesn’t mind trying it.

It would be great if these tomatoes could be used to stew mutton. Things like cows reproduce slowly.They also grow slowly, so the Mongolians still eat more mutton.

"Please wait a moment, Khan, Zhang Yong will go back and make it for you." If you want to eat beef stew with tomatoes, isn't that easy?

I have the complete recipe!
And now there are plenty of ingredients, except that there are no soy sauce, cooking wine, oyster sauce and other seasonings.

But as long as there is salt, it is enough. Salt is the king of flavors.

Coupled with some spices from Huarazi, even if the taste is not as good as modern ones, it will not be much worse.

"Well! After you make it, send it directly to Concubine Hulan. I'm going to spend the night at her place tonight and eat at her place." Genghis Khan said.

Zhang Yong nodded, discussed some specific details of sending troops with Genghis Khan, and then left. After Zhang Yong left, Genghis Khan ordered his guards to find Wokuotai who was still resting in his tent. .

"Father! I wonder why you came to see me?" Wo Kuotai knelt on the ground and said.

"Well! You are here, come and try this watermelon. This guy Zhang Yong sent it here. It tastes very sweet. I left some for you." Genghis Khan pointed to the red watermelon that had been cut open on the table. He spoke.

Wokuotai nodded, picked up a piece of watermelon and bit into it. It was so sweet, really sweet, and it had such a refreshing taste!
I feel a sense of transparency and a sense of coolness spreading throughout my body. It tastes so sweet and cool.

"Thank you Father Khan for the gift. This watermelon is indeed very delicious!" Wo Kuotai said.

This kid Zhang Yong actually has such a good thing, but he doesn't give it to himself to try first?
"Is it delicious? This guy Zhang Yong offered it. I tasted it and it tasted good." Genghis Khan said.

"Father, this watermelon tastes really good." Wo Kuotai said.

"Zhang Yong just came over and told me that this thing called watermelon was brought out by him from the Cave of the Gods. The yield is very large. If grown properly, it can be used as military ration for our march," Genghis Khan said.

"It's something from a man of God, it's really extraordinary, Father! What's the yield per acre of this watermelon?" Wo Kuotai asked.

"Zhang Yong, this guy told me that the yield per mu is about several thousand kilograms, at least not less than 1000 kilograms." Genghis Khan said.

"Not less than 1000 kilograms? If there is really that much, it is indeed very suitable! This thing tastes good, and I think the rind seems to be edible. It can satisfy hunger." Wo Kuotai said.

When the Mongols went to war, they basically ate anything they could eat.Not picky at all.

"This is the guarantee that Zhang Yong gave me, guaranteeing that the output of this watermelon will be large. I plan to let him take 4000 slaves and 2000 cavalry to set off first. Just like those herders, they will plant this kind of thing along the way." Genghis Khan said.

"If it's really as big as what this kid says, then it's completely feasible. My father and I think it's okay." Wo Kuotai said.

"There is no war now. I want you to take 2000 cavalry with Zhang Yong. What do you think?" Genghis Khan said.

"It's okay, Father. Zhang Yong and I get along quite well. We have nothing to do when we have time. I can just go with him," Wo Kuotai said.

This is a good thing!Wokuotai still has great trust in Zhang Yong. Since this boy is sure to be able to grow it, he is willing to believe in him unconditionally.

Preparing food and fodder for the army is a very important thing. If this thing can be done, it can greatly reduce their future marching expenses.When the expedition takes place in the future.This watermelon can also be grown along the way.

If this thing is done, Wo Kuotai will be very happy to increase his reputation. Since he is idle in the camp anyway, he might as well go planting things with Zhang Yong.

"Okay, you will set off in three days. All the cavalry will bring three spare horses, and each person will look after two slaves. They will go to the land in Xiliao as fast as possible and find a place with fertile soil and sufficient water to start planting. Half a year later, My army should be able to reach your place." Genghis Khan said.

"I understand, leave the father to the child! What a pity. If this thing had been planted earlier, who would be our opponent in the Delhi Sultanate?" Ogedai said.

"Oh! What do you mean? Is this thing also very useful in conquering the Delhi Sultanate?" Genghis Khan turned around and asked in confusion.The land and population of the Delhi Sultanate are still very dense, so there is no need to worry about finding food. It seems that there is no need for this thing called watermelon to supplement military rations!

"That's not the case, Father Khan. As soon as I eat this watermelon, I feel a cooling effect. This thing is also very good for relieving the heat. That kid Zhang Yong was during our attack on the Delhi Sultanate.

Come up with several solutions to heat stroke.But it can only provide a slight relief. If this watermelon is available to relieve the heat when the army is on the move, the effect will be very good.

During our march in the Delhi Sultanate, if we had this thing, we would not have to worry about heat stroke at all. "Wokuotai said.

"This is a good idea. It seems that this boy has presented a very useful thing. In the future, I will defeat Xixia and the Kingdom of Jin. After watermelons are planted in large quantities, we will take over the Delhi Sultanate. It won’t take much time to get down,” Genghis Khan said.

"Father Khan, there is no need for you to personally take action when the time comes. I have fought against these people from the Delhi Sultanate and know their fighting strength. When the time comes, they can just leave it to me." Ogedei said.

"Well! It's too early to discuss this now. You go and order 2000 cavalry and prepare to set off in three days. First, go plant watermelons with this guy Zhang Yong." Genghis Khan said.

Wokuotai nodded, immediately stood up and left Genghis Khan's tent, went to the military camp, and began to select suitable cavalry.

Zhang Yong, on his side, also quickly returned to the camp. At this time, Turan Lun had not returned yet, so Zhang Yong immediately ordered several Mongolian soldiers around him to pick a piece of good beef and send it over.

Then he prepared the iron pot, took out his smartphone, and started reading the specific recipe of beef stew with tomatoes in the Friends of Military and Civilian Talents e-book.

The above-mentioned spicy pepper molds are available here, but the green onions are not available here, but I brought some green onions from the Delhi Sultanate to replace them.

Carrots are also available here.

There is no clear oil here, but you can use butter instead.

"Sir, what are you busy with? Are you making something delicious?" Seeing Zhang Yong preparing beef and various spices, Farmaina and Bahnaya came up and asked.

"Well! I told the Great Khan about watermelon and tomatoes, and the Great Khan agreed, but he wanted to eat beef stew with tomatoes, so I could only make one for him. Sir, I will make more, wait. You can try it later,” Zhang Yong said.

"Do you need my help?" Farmaina asked.

"Can you cook? Can you cut meat?" Zhang Yong asked.

"No, we can only eat, hee hee!" Farmaina said.

Are you kidding, she is Khair Khan's daughter.

Does cooking require her to do it herself?
"That's alright. Just sit and wait to eat. Don't cause trouble for me, sir." Zhang Yong said.

"Yeah! We're waiting to eat."

Zhang Yong shook his head. Women are indeed not as good as men when it comes to cooking.

Quickly chop all the beef into small pieces, wash it with water first, then add water to the pot, start blanching, and knock off all the blood foam on it.

Then take out the half-cooked beef, then cut a few tomatoes, cut off a few pieces of butter, put it into the iron pot, then put in the aniseed ingredients and chopped tomatoes and start to stir-fry until the aroma comes out After a while, add the beef and carrots and start to stir-fry until cooked, add water and salt.

"Okay! Just add some salt and simmer it later." After finishing his work, Zhang Yong wiped the sweat on his forehead and said.

clap clap clap!
"Master, you are so awesome. You can also cook. Most men can't cook." Farmayna and Bakhnaya, who were watching from the side, clapped their hands together and said.

"Master, I know a lot of dishes! When we find a stable place, I will cook them for you to try." Zhang Yong said with a smile.

Soon, the fragrant smell of beef stew filled the entire camp, making a group of slaves and Mongolian soldiers drool with greed, and their throats kept surging.

"It smells so good, Zhang Yong, what do you guys do for food?" At this time, Wo Kuotai had already smelled the smell and came over to ask.

He originally came to see Zhang Yong, intending to discuss the specific details of the two men's march, but as soon as he came in, he smelled a strange smell of beef.

"This is tomatoes, one of the things I will plant next. Father-in-law, has he told you already?" Zhang Yong asked.

"Well, you have told me that I have selected 2000 elite cavalry, and each of them will bring three spare horses. Your slaves will ride with us and march. Three days later we will set off for Xiliao. This time you have Are you sure?" Wo Kuotai patted Zhang Yong on the shoulder and asked.
