After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

The bowl of sorghum rice in front of Li Qingqing was not mixed with rice, but a thin porridge made from sorghum.

Stir it a few times with chopsticks, and the water and sorghum grains will separate. Drink the water on the top and eat the sorghum grains on the bottom. It is called sorghum rice.

Li Qingqing absolutely had no intention of discriminating against it.

I don't know which guy in the logistics department cooked the sorghum rice extra roughly, probably to save time.

If you soak it in advance or burn a few more firewood, it won’t be dry and hard when you eat it.

Oh! There are also many shriveled shells mixed in.

As for the bowl of boiled wolf meat, even the only seasoning was skimped on, which was really unfair. At least they should have put some salt in it.

Li Qingqing wanted to cry but had no tears, and complained inwardly.

Even though we're at the border, we can't complain about the poor food.

But using the same ingredients to make the food so unpalatable is simply a sin.

And Li Feng inviting her to eat this thing together was simply adding insult to injury.

Li Qingqing wanted to find an excuse to slip away, but she didn't know if it was because of the blood suppression. She looked at Li Feng sitting there as steady as a rock, and she just didn't feel like slipping away.

Li Qingqing took a few bites helplessly and couldn't help but frowning.

This sorghum rice can cure indigestion, strengthen the spleen and stop diarrhea. She will definitely not have stomach upset after eating it.

But it’s annoying...

How about waiting for Li Feng to finish his meal and then asking him to cook for him?

Li Qingqing thought secretly while secretly looking at Li Feng.

But I saw the handsome General Li enjoying his food elegantly. He was calm and composed, without even a frown on his face.

Li Qingqing was secretly amazed.

Being able to eat such hard-to-swallow food as if it were a delicacy is also a skill.

Li Feng noticed that Li Qingqing was looking at him. He looked up and happened to meet Li Qingqing's eyes. He smiled and asked:

"Why? These foods are not to your taste?"

There was only her and Li Feng in the room, so Li Qingqing nodded and admitted generously.

"I originally thought the sorghum grown in the border town was used for making wine, but I didn't expect it to be used as food. This sorghum rice is really hard to eat."

After hearing this, Li Feng was slightly startled, then put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and said gently:

"When food is scarce, soldiers in the army can only eat sorghum rice. Although it doesn't taste good, it at least fills their stomachs and keeps them from going hungry. I've gotten used to it and forgot it was your first time trying it."

There was a hint of apology in Li Feng's voice as he continued:

"My brother was inconsiderate. I will send a messenger to Young Master Xie to have him purchase a separate batch of food for you. From now on, you and the Shadow Guard can cook separately. I will explain this to Protector Wei and the other lieutenants."

Li Qingqing was slightly stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect Li Feng to be so considerate of her feelings.

She suddenly felt that the feeling of having a brother... was actually quite wonderful.

So Li Qingqing quickly said,

"You don't have to go out of your way to buy food. You can actually make it incredibly delicious just by changing the way you cook it... But I'm really looking forward to cooking my own meals."

There were still a lot of supplies in her space, all of which were bought for her by Xie Xuan'an before.

If you cook your own food, you can eat delicious food every day.

Seeing Li Qingqing's eyes sparkling with anticipation, a smile flashed across Li Feng's eyes.

He then smiled and asked, "You just said that sorghum can be used to make wine?"

"Uh!" Li Qingqing looked at Li Feng. She didn't expect him to suddenly ask about wine. Seeing that he really didn't know, she had no choice but to continue:

"I once flipped through Yi Mo's book when I had nothing to do. It said that sorghum wine is better than rice wine, with a mellow and long-lasting taste, and its flavor is extremely delicious.

And it’s incredibly strong, twice as strong as anything you’ve ever had before.”

Anything that Dayuan Kingdom did not have could be attributed to Zhou Yimo or his collection of books. Li Qingqing had no pressure in doing this.

Li Qingqing paused, and seeing that Li Feng seemed to be listening with interest, she thought that he might also like drinking.

So he continued, "If the general likes it, I can brew some for you when I have time."

"That's not necessary. The army is short of food right now. If we use it to make wine, wouldn't that be a waste of food?"

Li Feng smiled and waved his hands repeatedly, but he felt a little yearning in his heart, "If I have the chance in the future, I would like to try it."

Li Qingqing was thoughtful after hearing this, and suddenly an idea flashed through her mind.

She had seen them drinking before, but the alcohol content was not very high. She thought that the Dayuan Kingdom should only have fermented wine.

If she could brew some strong liquor, maybe it could solve the plight of the border town?

So Li Qingqing smiled and said, "It suddenly occurred to me that if we could brew this kind of strong liquor, it would bring us a lot of income and perhaps solve our silver problem."

Building the city wall requires labor, which in turn requires a large amount of silver, which is currently in short supply.

After hearing this, Li Feng's heart moved slightly, "Oh? Increase income by brewing wine?"

Li Qingqing nodded and continued:

"We can make sorghum wine and use the money earned from selling the wine to buy grain. This will not only alleviate the food shortage, but also increase our income. At the same time, we won't have to eat this unpalatable sorghum rice all the time."

Li Feng heard this and thought to himself.

As the eldest son of the general's family, he also owned a large number of shops, which were managed by dedicated people, so he didn't have to worry about anything. However, he was able to learn about the prices from time to time.

For example, the cheapest dou of wine cost three hundred wen, a dou of rice fifty wen, and a dou of sorghum twenty wen.

It would indeed be much more cost-effective to use the money earned from selling wine to buy grain.

It’s just food… If this happens, won’t the food shortage become even greater?

Thinking of this, Li Feng asked directly.

But then I heard Li Qingqing laugh and say:

"To be honest, Yi Mo, Xiao Xie, and I are currently implementing a high-yield grain production plan in Yuntai County. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a huge grain surplus next year!"

Li Feng knew that Li Qingqing was capable and believed everything she said. Seeing that she spoke so clearly, he couldn't help but ask:

"Could it be that you can brew this kind of wine?"

Li Qingqing smiled confidently and then replied:

"Although I haven't brewed it myself, the book describes it in detail, so I'm confident I can give it a try. It just takes some time to prepare and experiment."

"If that's the case, I really want to taste the wine you described, which has a mellow taste, a long aftertaste, and a strong alcohol content!" Li Feng said with a smile.

"What are you talking about?" Suddenly, a man rushed into the room.

"Where is that fine wine?"

Li Qingqing looked closely and found that the person coming was an old man about sixty years old.

He was wearing a dark blue official uniform and rushed in without any courtesy.

Li Qingqing thought to herself that this person must be the Censor Song that Li Feng had mentioned before.

As expected, Li Feng asked, "Master Censor, what brings you here?"

"I came here to ask you, when will your logistics staff be replaced? They cook terrible food every day."

When you are well fed and well clothed, you will crave more. I used to eat wolf meat just to fill my stomach, but now that I am full, I start to dislike the blandness of the meat.

Censor Song spoke with some disdain. He and Li Feng were not at all distant.

Li Qingqing had heard from Li Feng that Censor Song was a senior figure at the frontier and had been stationed here for many years before General Li arrived.

After working with General Li for nearly twenty years, he sent off the injured General Li and welcomed the successor General Li.

From a young man full of vigor and vitality to an old man now, he has spent his entire life at this frontier.

Li Feng was slightly stunned, then said: "Your Excellency is absolutely right, I will arrange this matter as soon as possible."

The censor nodded and coughed lightly. He glanced at Li Qingqing and asked, "Is this the new deputy general?"
