The road to national restoration that began at the end of the century - #138 - Chapter 139: Polishing rice to make wine?

As night fell, Pierre and his party could take a break and taste today’s dinner directly in the trench where the corpses had been cleared.

Pierre: “Are you okay?”

Mailin: “How can it be okay if you can stay in this trench and eat? But I really can’t figure it out. They all hold heat-light knives…”

Pierre: “Don’t think about it. After eating, take a shower, and then go to bed. Today, we are all tired.”

Yes.

Everyone is very tired.

Especially after the entire network of trenches was cleared and the pig-headed men continued to retreat to the third line, which was inside the city, Mailin really couldn’t understand why these pig-headed men couldn’t completely give up the “feat of drawing swords to chop down tanks.” “. Then, they only had to wait until they reached the tank, and were beaten into a hornet’s nest one by one by themselves or other comrades.

What was even more confusing to him was why these pig-headed men made no move to surrender at all, and even carried out suicide attacks by wrapping explosives on their bodies many times.

Are these guys taking some drugs that can make them mentally abnormal, and then they appear on the battlefield to fight with them?

have no idea.

But Mailin calmed down and thought about it seriously. The Pig-Head Man’s Heat Light Knife must be the ultimate technological product of the Pig-Head Man’s delusion that he could dominate the world with just one knife.

At the same time, it is an important prerequisite for the pig-headed men to try to gain an absolute advantage in hand-to-hand combat.

But he didn’t need to worry so much. After fighting all day, he got a bottle of wine in a smaller size.

Yes.

The depression and anguish accumulated on the battlefield, and even the fear of life and death in just a moment, are the reasons why every soldier who has experienced bloody battles needs to drink.

No wine…

They may collapse.

Especially the wine brewed from cane sugar by the Krorod Empire. This thing is really a must-have treasure for every warrior of the Krorod Empire.

One drink can relieve a thousand sorrows.

No matter what kind of lament you have in your heart, drink it with a bottle of white wine.

There’s nothing wine can’t fix.

liquor.

From the time when the Krorod Empire was not yet established and the Rimai people were just a group of slaves who were imprisoned and used as cannon fodder, wine has always been a good thing that every Rimai people need from time to time.

Especially since the Krolod Empire is a country rich in cane sugar, and male people generally don’t like to eat sugar, wine and even spirits with a higher alcohol content have naturally become a specialty.

Of course, drinking a bottle of Mailin directly is not enough. But at night, the meals prepared by the cooks are the most important.

After all, no matter who you are, just drinking alcohol cannot guarantee sufficient combat effectiveness.

So Zelen, whose food level was on par with front-line soldiers, smiled softly when he saw that there was meat and vegetables on the table, there was no shortage of rice, and there was even a little orange juice.

Jane: “Zeren?”

Zelen: “Nothing, just… sighing that the food is getting better day by day.”

how to say?

Thanks to the development activities in the Southern Province that have alleviated the population pressure in the Western Province, although the Krurod Empire is still in the period of food control, according to the current standards of ordinary front-line soldiers, the vast majority of the people can get 630 rice a day. Grams, 40 grams of coconut oil, 350 grams of vegetables, 270 grams of protein, 250 grams of wine, 300 grams of fruits, and 65 grams of snacks.

Jane: “Do you think you ate too much?”

Zelen: “A bit. Besides, I still have a question that I can’t figure out. Will the pig-headed man die if he doesn’t eat polished rice?”

Jane: “Pfft…”

Zelen: “Don’t laugh. I heard rumors outside that pig-headed people only eat polished rice in their lives, and it is steamed polished rice. If they are not sick in bed, they will never drink porridge.”

Jane: “Yes. Because in the traditional culture of the pig-headed people, polished rice is a symbol of aristocratic status. Being able to eat polished rice three meals a day proves that you are superior to others and that you are higher than ordinary people.”

Zelen: “Then do they know that every grain of rice they eat is polished until only 40% of the original grain remains?”

Jane: “So that’s why their nobles have been eating polished rice since the past. Polished rice tastes much better than the rice we eat now.”

Zelen: “Spoiling food is the biggest crime. The remaining 60%, they won’t just throw it into the sea to feed the fish, right?”

Felicity: “I heard that they will use it to brew rice wine. However, they prefer rice wine brewed with pure polished rice.”

Zelen: “What? It’s not enough to simply eat steamed polished rice, but you also need to use polished rice to make wine? I, we Rimai people drink because we are not short of sugar, especially men generally don’t like to eat sugar, resulting in a lot of Sugar has not been made into candies, so we have our flagship product, wine. As for using rice to make wine, I feel bad about it.”

After hearing this introduction from Felicity and Jane, two wives who were closely related to the military, Zelen really couldn’t understand what kind of guys the pig-headed people were.

In order to plunder the rice resources abundant in the Krurod Empire, he ordered the black-haired kobolds to act as thugs in terrorist attacks, clearing the way through large-scale massacres and even kidnapping people, and then personally seized the rice for himself, so that the Japanese The Mai people suffered a tragic famine, and the Pa-O Republic was completely destroyed.

In this regard, the pig-headed man will definitely kill him. Not only must they be killed, but in his own opinion, they must be killed in a faster way.

Otherwise, Zelen would not be able to face every citizen who unfortunately starved to death during the raging war.

What the pig-headed men did was systematic genocide with a clear purpose.

All this together…

Anyway, Zelen has nothing to comment on.

Waste of food…

If his mother were still here, she would have taught herself a lesson long ago.

Is it possible that no one among these pig-headed people can tell them about the importance of food?

Moreover, the pig-headed country, the Akitsu Empire, is an island country, an island country also made up of islands.

There is one thing about countries built on archipelagos that is very different from mainland countries.

That is, land resources are particularly tight compared to mainland China.

This is why the Krorod Empire has been expanding since its establishment and turning surrounding islands into nodes of the domestic logistics network.

If we don’t do this, even eating will become a very serious matter for the Krorod Empire.

Felicity: “To be honest, I don’t know what the taste of polished rice wine is. But the soldiers below once seized wine bottles from the corpses of some of the Battery Team. The polished rice wine inside was not high in content and was even a little sweet.”

Zelen: “Is it because the starch in the polished rice is hydrolyzed?”

Felicity: “Yes. But you and other male people will definitely not like such sweet wine. After all, the sweet wine you like to drink does not have obvious sweetness.”

Zelen: “I have nothing to say about this. Besides, don’t you think about having a glass of wine?”

Jane: “If we drink it, we will have to go into the delivery room to give birth to your baby next year.”

Zelen: “Oh, so you guys have been wearing very thin underwear in front of me?”

Jane: “Anyway, with us here, you won’t feel any loneliness. Moreover, we have given up long ago. As long as you want, you are welcome to come to our room to sleep at any time, and you can also do exercises with us every morning or night. It doesn’t matter. After all, I’m ready for at least five children.”

Felicity: “Did you give up too early?”

Jane: “You don’t seem to be saying that…you don’t have many people in your family. Wouldn’t it be good for your family to have a baby early? What’s more, some things are best done in the delivery room, so that they can be easier to do later.”

Zelen: “What happened?”

Jane: “This is a woman’s secret.”

Felicity: “Instead of asking this matter, how about I feed you myself?”

Zelen: “No, if word spreads, I don’t know what the outside world will say about me.”

Although everyone knows that as His Majesty the Emperor, Zelen’s personal life will definitely be more exciting, but Zelen has too many things to be busy with, and he is so tired every day that he just wants to sleep when he comes back…
