Although Meng En said this on the surface, his heart was actually quite different.
Don't! Brother, our army likes to eat rice, please don't bother me, I really have no money. This time I came here to buy food with a note from His Majesty, asking you to use taxes to pay off the debt?
"Haha! General Zoumeng, I'll take you there right now."
Liu hurriedly got up and grabbed Meng En, then dragged him out.
Meng'en wailed in his heart, "No! I really have no money. My fiefdom hasn't produced any food in several years. I'm very poor."
"Let me tell you, Yunzhou is a mountainous region, so we must ensure that we can quickly and easily transport our rations. Otherwise, it will be difficult to fight."
Liu Mang kept nagging while pulling Meng En, completely ignoring the miserable faces of General Meng and several civil servants.
Soon after, a group of people arrived on horseback to the cannery and instant noodle factory.
Meng En and the civil servants were shocked by the huge workshop area. As they walked along, they saw countless workshops of all sizes in this area, although they didn't know what they were used for.
No wonder City Lord Liu is so rich.
"General Meng, this is the food processing area. Come with me and take a look."
Liu Mang took them to the gate of a factory and asked them to follow him.
The instant noodle factory manager was a little old man. When he saw Liu Mang coming to the door, he hurried out of the factory.
"Lord City Lord, welcome to the Taoyuan Instant Noodle Factory to inspect its work."
"Well, you're here just in time. Take us to the warehouse!"
"Yes, everyone, follow me!"
Then a group of people came to the door of a warehouse. After the old factory director opened the door, he saw that it was already filled with cardboard boxes.
Liu Mang went in and took down a box. The old factory director was very considerate and handed him a pair of scissors, and Liu Mang cut the sealing tape.
Inside were packets of instant noodles wrapped in paper bags.
"General Meng, come and take a look. What do you think of this side?"
Meng En looked at the paper-wrapped object in confusion.
"What's this, City Lord Liu?"
"Instant noodles! This pack is enough for one person's meal? And you can just add boiling water and eat it. It's convenient and quick."
While Liu was talking, he asked the old factory director to get a bowl and some boiled water.
After a while, Liu Mang tore open the package in front of everyone and saw something that looked like a cake inside.
"See? This is dry noodles with seasonings. It's very simple to eat."
Then Liu Mang took the bowl handed to him by the old factory director, put the instant noodles in it, tore open the seasoning packet, and asked the old factory director to add boiling water.
Everyone was stunned and watched Liu Mang operate for a while.
"Just add boiling water and wait for five minutes." Liu said to everyone after finishing everything.
"City Lord, this thing does smell delicious. Is it really edible?"
Meng En smelled the scent and swallowed. He asked curiously.
"General Meng, why would I lie to you? This is made from flour. Come and try it later."
Several civil servants also smelled the fragrance and couldn't help but savor it in their throats.
Five minutes later, Liu Mang picked up the bowl and handed it to Meng En.
"Come, General Meng, how about you try it?"
Meng En swallowed his saliva, took it, and looked at the bowl, which was indeed the same as noodles.
"this..."
Liu Mang smiled and shook his head. Could it be that this guy was afraid that I would poison him?
So Liu Mangyou picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up a mouthful of noodles, and without thinking, he slurped it, chewed it, and swallowed it.
That look made Meng En and the others salivate with envy.
"Hmm! It tastes good. You did a good job, old man."
Liu turned around and praised the old factory director, who saluted with excitement.
Liu looked at Meng En and said, "Try it. It tastes delicious."
Seeing that Liu Mang had helped to taste it, Meng En didn't waste any words. Since the taste was indeed delicious, he picked up a bite and ate it with slurping movements like Liu Mang.
Ah! Delicious, really delicious. I never thought such a simple noodle could taste so good.
So he ate voraciously and finished the bowl of noodles in no time.
The faces of the Dayan civil servants behind him turned pale.
You're eating all of it yourself! We haven't even tasted a single bite, and you've already finished it?
Liu Mang saw the faces of the civil servants and their trembling throats, smiled slightly, and instructed the old factory director:
"Old man, go make a bowl for each of these adults to taste and see how it tastes."
"Yes, Lord City Lord."
"Give me another bowl." General Meng, who was still unsatisfied, said.
Ten minutes later, several civil and military officials of Dayan sat together at the door of the warehouse, sniffing.
"Ah! This tastes amazing."
"Mm, it's really good. The noodles cooked by the small vendors in Jiangnan are not as delicious as this."
"I don't know the price. I'd like to buy some to take back to Jiangnan after the war."
"Well, this is good!"
Several civil servants were chattering about it. Only Meng En saw the benefits of this kind of noodles for the march.
Then he looked at Liu Mang and asked, "City Lord Liu, what is the price of this?"
Liu Mang still smiled mysteriously, "General Meng, don't worry, I will take you to see something else."
"Old man, take us to the cannery."
"Yes, Lord City Lord."
Everyone followed the old factory director to the cannery, and as soon as they entered, they smelled the rich aroma of meat.
"What's this, City Lord Liu?"
"Haha! You'll know soon."
This time, Liu Mang first led them into a factory filled with the smell of blood. There, a large group of workers were seen cutting up cattle and sheep, dicing them and placing them in baskets.
