slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 425 Departure
After such a collision, the boys in the village didn’t dare to be smug anymore, and no one would fiddle with other cars when they were free. Those who didn’t buy a car just waited for the car to stop and fiddle with it a few times, to have a good time. Never mind.

Even if everyone is rich now, it is unbearable to lose one hundred thousand like Li Shuang and his wife.Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, don't make such a troublesome thing like his family.

Ping An didn't take Cang Hai and Shi Wei to test the car anymore, and he didn't even drive blindly in the village. He took out the blowing tool from the car, inside and out, like everyone else in the village. Dusting dust or something, Cang Hai laughed every time he saw it.

The things were ready, and all the instruments ordered by Mr. Shang Qingyun were transported to the village. When everything was in place, everyone was ready to go.

"These two sledges can't be pulled all the way, we have to have three." Cang Hai looked at the things in the ground, and opened his mouth and said to Mr. Shang Qingyun.

Mr. Shang Qingyun also knows now, but it is hard to find someone to drive the sledge, and even if one is found, there will be more things to do if there is one more person. Stop it.

"Cang Hai, how about the food you prepared?" Shang Qingyun asked.

Cang Hai thought for a while and said, "There is no problem with my preparations here, and it's okay to have one more person!"

Naturally, there is nothing wrong with Canghai, the food in the space is enough for these people to eat for half a month.

Shang Qingyun asked again: "Then tell me, who do you want to drive the third sledge?"

Cang Hai thinks about this matter, and now there is only one person in the village who is suitable, that is Wen Yiyi, although Wen Yiyi is an immigrant, and he is an immigrant from the United States, but his ability to survive in the wild is better than Cang Hai.

Of course, this does not count the effect of space, and the best wilderness survival master on earth and Cang Haibi are scumbags when counted in space.

Except for Wen Yiyi, there are only the older generation Hu Shijie left. If you let these old people go out in this weather to suffer from the cold, it would be fatal.

Looking at the people in their forties in the village, Wei Wenkui's generation, there are really not many good people, let alone the younger generation.

"After much deliberation, Wen Yiyi is more appropriate," Cang Hai said.

Shang Qingyun was a little embarrassed, it wasn't that he didn't know Wen Yiyi, on the contrary, he not only knew Wen Yiyi, but also got along very well with Wen Yiyi.

Although Wen Yiyi is an American, he knows more about Chinese culture than the young men in the village. The two seem to forget their old friends, and they get together from time to time to have a drink and brag.

"His daughter-in-law is pregnant now." Shang Qingyun showed a bitter look on his face.

Cang Hai didn't make a fuss, just waited for Mr. Shang to decide that Wen Yiyi's daughter-in-law was pregnant, but all the discomforts of pregnant women were almost nonexistent to his wife, except for slight nausea from time to time. , It's not too sad to hold on for a minute or two, and it will be fine in a while.

Seeing that Cang Hai didn't talk to him, Mr. Shang Qingyun opened his mouth and asked again: "Is there no suitable person?"

"Wei Wenkui, Uncle Wei" Cang Hai spat out a name from his mouth.

When Shang Qingyun heard it, Wei Wenkui might as well find Wen Yiyi. It's not that the relationship between the two is not good, but that Wei Wenkui has something to do. His old aunt is seriously ill, and he left the village early in the morning, and the whole family left. Can you still make people turn around and come back?
"Forget it, let's go with Wenyi, I'll talk to Wenyi now." Shang Qingyun thought for a while, that is, Wenyiyi is the most suitable, even if he refuses, he has to open his mouth.

Canghai sees Mr. Shang Qingyun leaving, so he concentrates on moving things. Today, the ugly donkey is working with a male pack horse. This guy is unlucky. After being hacked by Zhang Jiusheng, he also There is no big performance. In order to extract more value from the army, the folks gave it a knife, removed its root of right and wrong, and let it work honestly.

A pack horse that has lost its momentum is much easier to use than a stallion, and its temper is also gentler. It is most suitable for things like pulling sledges.If the children of Ugly Donkey and Feng are very strong, but they are too young to be a year old, such animals are not suitable for use now.

Canghai’s sledge is loaded with daily necessities and two pieces of heavy equipment. Ping’an’s sledge is mainly equipped with tents and some large and small instrument boxes. put the instrument.

The extra things are not because everyone is not prepared enough, but Shang Qingyun and his group have temporarily added some things. Originally, the two sledges could be put down, but now they can’t, and the third one has to be used. In this case, not only animals can It's lighter and people sit more comfortably.

Pingan asked: "Brother, why can't we pile them up in one pile, wouldn't it be enough to put two sledges with sharp points?"

Cang Hai said: "How high is the center of gravity? If you encounter a steep slope along the way, you will have to overturn the car! It's not that I went to Fenghuanggou to know the basics. I haven't been to that place yet. These people are just sitting in a helicopter. I’ve been there twice, but I don’t know what’s going on on the road, otherwise what would I do with the tiger’s head?”

After about half an hour, Shang Qingyun brought Wen Yiyi over. Wen Yiyi was still carrying a cold-proof sleeping bag on his back, and Wen Yiyi agreed without asking.

Glancing at Cang Hai, Wen Yiyi threw the sleeping bag on his back onto Cang Hai's sledge: "I told Shi Wei that during the days I'm away, let her take care of my mother-in-law more."

"It should be!" Cang Hai nodded.

After that, the two of them didn't talk too much, and started to get down to business. Ping An went to the barn to lead the animals, while Shang Qingyun went to another house to borrow the sledge, waited for the animals and the sledge to arrive, and loaded the remaining things on the sledge. Officially ready to go.

When setting off, the daughters-in-law and relatives of each family had some farewells. Canghai chatted with Shi Wei, kissed his two eldest sons, and then drove the sledge out of the village, all the way to the southwest direction.

Everyone in the team was tightly wrapped, even their eyes were covered in goggles.

You can see other colors in the village. Once you leave the village, you can see only one color around you, which is the color of snow that covers the sky and the earth. The silvery white snow gives people the feeling that besides the sky, the earth is covered. No matter how you look at it, the mountains, rivers and rivers are now covered with silver.

Without goggles, it won't be long before everyone gets snow blindness.

Not only the people were tightly wrapped, but even the animals were covered with thick cotton horse clothes.Although the cattle in Sijiaping are very stylish, they automatically put on a thick fur coat in winter, but now that they are allowed to leave the barn and live in the wild, they must put on a horse coat to keep warm, otherwise Not necessarily resistant to the low temperature in the wild.

After leaving the village, everyone can chat for a while, but after walking for more than half an hour, everyone loses interest in talking. Tourists may think that thousands of miles of ice and snow are very artistic, but for It is not so comfortable for those who are on the road.

Fortunately, the ugly donkey is as powerful as ever!
A donkey took the lead, stepping on the knee-high snow as if there was nothing. After the ugly donkey dragged the sledge and ran over, the two gelding horses behind were much more relaxed, and the knee-high snow was swept away. Horseshoes are almost equivalent to the ugly donkey taking 80.00% of their strength off.

The crowd ran until nine o'clock in the evening, and the sky hadn't completely darkened yet. If it was placed in the county town, the street lights would have been turned on by this time, but here, the moon rises and matches the surrounding white snow, directly turning the undulating surroundings into darkness. The slopes and valleys are illuminated like daytime.

"Canghai, Canghai, let's find a place to camp today. Everyone, rest for one night and go on the road tomorrow. The road we traveled today has exceeded expectations." Mr. Shang Qingyun pointed at Canghai on the safe sledge behind roared.

Cang Hai immediately said: "Okay, let me pick a place, let's go here today!"

I also know whether I can rest when I hear it, or someone's words broke the peace along the way, and the spirits of everyone are shocked.
Cang Hai quickly picked out a leeward valley, and stopped the sledge on the half slope.

Some even connected three sledges end to end to form a windbreak wall, and then untied the animals, pulled them into the windbreak wall, and untied the hay bags to feed them.

Animals in the wild can’t be fed like in the village. At this time, they are fed with high-nutrition things, such as bean dregs cakes, wheat flakes, and of course some green ingredients, which are specially prepared by Cang Hai. , The grass is cut from the space, cut into small grass pieces of about two centimeters, and served with coarse grains such as bean dregs cakes, which are considered top-level nutrients.

The water fed is also from the Canghai space, in order to better restore the physical strength of the animals.

After serving the animals to eat, the big guys started to camp and prepared to cook dinner.Although people are said to be the first at this time, the animals are more important. One or three animals are sick or something. Don't mention anything about doing things, just go back to the village to ask for help.

The camp was built quickly, and now the place is bare as far as the eye can see. It is a delusion to find firewood to make a fire, and now you have to bring your own fuel.

Three kerosene stoves more than 20 centimeters high are laid out in the shape of a character. Ginger chicken soup is hot on one stove, rice is stewed on the other stove, and braised pork is heated on the last stove. In addition to rice, The rest are all prepared and brought over.After going all the way, it was frozen solid, and there was no way to eat it without going in the pot once.

The big guys gathered around the pin-shaped kerosene stove, eagerly waiting for the meal to be served.

The same is true for Wen Yiyi. This guy sat directly on the snow, with a straw mat under his buttocks, looked at the smelling pot, and said with a smile: "It's better to come out with Cang Hai. Look at this rice, too. It’s rich, and there’s old hen soup for this ice-cold dish!”

Shang Qingyun smiled and said: "That's what I planned. Taking Cang Hai not only has a guide, but also a chef!"

Fan Xiaoxia asked, "Why isn't there any green?"

"Don't worry, Aunt Fan, my brother brought a large amount of cabbage over there, and it's all in the box over there. We people can save a little, enough for seven days," Ping An replied with a smile.

Cang Hai interjected again: "Aunt Fan, there is enough food for everyone, it must be enough for everyone to supplement vitamins, you can eat more of this meat, this is not a village, eating this food will not only make you hungry, but also protect you from the cold! "

"I know!" Fan Xiaoxia said with a smile.

When they came out before, everyone ate together. Even if there was meat, how many of them who were engaged in research were cooking masters?
It would be nice to have some home cooking.So during the field trips in the past, everyone just dealt with it. Sometimes three meals a day were instant noodles. Even if there was too much meat, they would eat it when it was cooked, and eat it when it was cooked with salt. Craft is not craft.

But now they come out together with Cang Hai, compared to before, the treatment is simply heaven and earth.

Waiting for the crisp bubbling sound to appear in the pot, Cang Hai lifted the pot and took a look, added some small chicken feathers, then continued to cover the pot and cook for another two to three minutes, waiting for the rice Alright, Cang Hai has just started cooking for everyone.

The big guys each took out their own lunch boxes, just moved to the edge of the pot, and placed them in a circle along the edge of the pot.

Cang Hai ordered food for everyone, first put a spoonful of shredded ginger chicken soup into everyone's lunch box to warm everyone's body, waited for everyone to finish drinking the chicken soup, and then added a spoonful of chicken soup to everyone's lunch box. The rice was served, and the chicken soup was poured first, then five or six pieces of braised pork were spread on top, and finally a few hot chicken feathers were picked out from the pot with chopsticks and placed in the lunch box.

Naturally, there is no such thing as trembling hands in Canghai cooking. Everyone is given a full portion, not only for people, Hutou also has his own plate this time, and enjoys the same treatment as people. There is as much rice and chicken soup in the pot as braised pork.

After a hot meal, everyone’s whole body warmed up. They wiped their lunch boxes with clean snow and put them away. Everyone started packing their sleeping bags. They had to go to bed after eating and drinking. Tossing and tossing is a waste of energy.

Cang Hai took out a few small iron boxes, and took out some charcoal from the heart of the car. After igniting it with the fire, he put the red charcoal into the iron box, and then closed it tightly. Put it in a tent to keep warm.

The heat emitted by four or five iron boxes quickly raised the temperature of the tent. Although it is impossible to reach the abnormally high ten or twenty degrees, which is like floor heating, it is still much higher than the outside. Everyone Huddled in the sleeping bag, at least not as cold as it was at the beginning.

The warmth of the debt made Shang Qingyun sigh with emotion: "Cang Hai, you kid really enjoy it!"

Wen Yiyi smiled and said in agreement: "It's a bit interesting to come out this time!"

"Everyone go to sleep, while the temperature of the charcoal fire is still there! Otherwise, I don't care if I wake up from the cold in the morning." Cang Hai retracted himself into the sleeping bag, closed his eyes and began to sleep.
