Villager of Daming

Chapter 1036: Meat-free meals for rabbits are given a reprieve

It's time to test your riding skills. Fortunately, everyone has practiced regularly. There is no shortage of horses in Yingtian Mansion, and there is no shortage of riding along the way.

Two hours later, the animals couldn't bear it any longer, and the people's legs felt numb. The team stopped, and someone gave the animals water, splashing water, and food.

Everyone took out the 78-style kettles and parcels. The kettles contained soup and the parcels contained steamed buns.

The steamed buns are packed for breakfast and won’t spoil for a long time anyway, because it’s hot and the soup won’t get cold.

Another person was carrying pickles in a flat iron bucket. Seven or eight pots had many components, and the pickles could be filled with lids.

Wash your hands with soap in the nearby river and make do with it. You can't do it without washing your hands. Horses and mules may have germs on them.

"Do your four highnesses want to eat canned food?" Ling'er used chopsticks to divide the fermented bean curd among each other. Each person had half a piece and couldn't finish one piece. It was salty and there were other side dishes!
The four of them shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they would not eat. The team brought few cans and kept them for emergencies. They would just wait until the Zihe River.

Zhu Wentian next to him didn't grill skewers, but he didn't eat steamed buns either. He made pancakes by himself last night, and it took a lot of steamed buns for him to eat.

The pancakes are delicious layer by layer. He rolled green onions and shredded pickles inside. He took big bites and chewed them hard. Without dipping the sauce, the pickles were enough!
In addition, he also grilled the glutinous rice dumplings, which are equally delicious. It doesn't matter if you don't eat meat for a few meals. If you really can't eat meat floss, you can cook it at night.

Jiang Wu continued to smile. He couldn't improve his riding skills in a short time. He learned arching skills since he was a child.

"Brother Hanhan, why don't you roll up the meat floss?"

Zhu Wentian stood up and came to the basket. He looked around and saw that there were no tools. He dropped the two big mud lumps on the ground and slapped each one twice. The mud lumps were smashed and a stream of hot steam came out.

Zhu Wentian refused. Meat floss is a good thing. Nowadays, all meat floss is salty. Sugar does not replenish electrolytes, except for the meat floss bread sold, which is sweet meat floss.

"Your Highness, it's rabbits. We hunted three rabbits on the boat with the bows given by His Highness. The guard's riding skills are so good. He didn't dismount and picked them up as soon as he leaned forward."

Catch thousands of frogs and give them to the people of the four princes to try, and wait for the eels to be caught. Depending on the condition of the people in the team, those whose physical functions have severely declined will eat eels to supplement them, and will not use eels as medicinal materials.

There is a river next to it. Use a flashlight to see if you can find any frogs. If you make a braised frog with sweet noodle sauce, it will have meat!
It was too late to catch the eels, so we had to wait until we had finished eating the frogs before catching the eels. It was easier to catch the eels at night, and the current month was just right.

Not long after, Jiang Wu ran over carrying an earth basket. There were two large black mud lumps in the earth basket, which were blackened.

"Stay, hungry, eat, um! Hey hey hey hey..."

"Your Highness, Your Highnesses, we have brought you food..."

There was a palace maid on the boat who helped take care of the children. The palace maid asked the guards on the shore to help make some mud, and then she became a beggar rabbit in the same way as a beggar chicken.

There are also a few small steamboats in the nearby river that are in charge of supporting them. They fish for fish, and everyone can eat fish stew in the evening. There are not enough frogs to eat.

Zhu Fang was happy: "Brother Hanhan, there is meat to eat this time. Let's see how good the people in the third brother's house are."

Ling'er saw everyone eating meat buns and Brother Hanhan eating pancakes, and thought of a way.

"Come in, what are you doing?" Zhu Ru, the fifth child, was curious.

Someone shouted from the outside, and you knew who it was as soon as you heard the voice. Jiang Wu, his wife and children were taking a boat. They couldn't ride a horse.

"Beggar's chicken? No, beggar's chicken is not that big. Beggar's goose? Where did you find the goose?" Zhu Di stared at Niluoda and analyzed.

He shot rabbits hiding in the grass on the boat, and the guards on the shore cooperated to pick them up.

"Your Highness, the meat was cooked on the ship. I left a portion for my mother-in-law and the children." Jiang Wu smiled and put down the earthen basket.

When the army is marching, they eat meat floss without salt. The meat floss is very salty, which is good for preservation, and there is no need to eat additional salt.

"It's already opened, I'll come, I'll come, get the reed leaves wrapped together? Fragrant!

Just in time, there is enough food for the seven of us girls plus Brother Hanhan, the village chief and the four of you.

Others don't like to eat, so they can just eat steamed buns. Thank you, Brother Jiang. You can go back and chew your bones! "Ling'er had finished the distribution, but she didn't even give it to Jiang Wu who had brought the things. The rabbit didn't have much meat. Jiang Wu went back to share a rabbit with his children, his wife, and the palace maid.

Children eat no less meat than adults, and the ones left behind are guaranteed to be the smallest rabbits.

"Let's check to see if there are any in the afternoon. In fact, there are still two that are not cooked yet. Let's go back." Jiang Wu nodded, said goodbye and left.

Zhu Wentian patted another lump of mud, and the seven girls helped divide it. The others had no share, so they didn't need to help.

The two rabbits were divided into sixteen unequal parts. Zhu Wentian got four parts and the others each got one part.

"Third brother, the craftsmanship of the maid in your palace is quite good." Zhu Xi took a bite of the meat and expressed his satisfaction.

"You are so naughty, and there is a special large kitchen in the house. If you want to eat, you can cook it yourself, just don't cook it for us. If you don't know it, you will naturally understand it if you ask the people in Xiaqiu Village. The rest are skilled workers "

Zhu Gang waved his hands and said it was no big deal, it was the same in all the royal palaces.

He doesn't care if the people in the palace are willing to cook, but if he doesn't eat, what if someone poisons him? Belongs to the rules.

He can either eat food from Guanglu Temple and need someone else to test the poison first, or eat food from Xiaqiu Village without worrying about safety issues.

"When we get to Peiping, Brother Hanhan will cook beggar's chicken for us!"

While Zhu Di was eating rabbit, he remembered eating the beggar's chicken cooked by Brother Hanhan in Xiaqiu Village. It was so delicious! Eat a whole one yourself.

"Hey! Make it, eat it, hey hey hey..." Zhu Wentian agreed.

After half an hour, the meal was finished, everyone had a good rest, and changed the group of animals to continue on their way.

When it was dark, we arrived at the camp established by the leading team. The fish caught by the trawling boat had been processed and stewed.

The hot noodle cakes are baked in one pot. Seven palm-sized cakes are baked in the pan at a time. Whichever one is cooked first is taken away first, and another one is put in to continue baking. This alternates, except for the first pot, the next ones are cooked. No oil at all.

Don't be in a hurry to eat. Let's feed this group of animals first. When we go back tomorrow, another group of animals will go on their way.

Today, two groups of animals ran a distance of 140 miles, while the previous group stayed where they were to rest and were fed salt, cooked soybean meal, water, wheat bran, and green grass.

Zhu Wentian and others took flashlights, nets, and buckets to catch frogs. There were also people on the other side of the river to catch frogs, and the team moved forward simultaneously along both sides of the river.

The vanguard did not dare to move too far from the rear, for fear of suddenly encountering enemy troops and being divided by the enemy, making it impossible to connect the front and rear.

When they came back from catching frogs, some people fell asleep, while others were eating fish and cakes, waiting to change the guard. The people on guard scanned the surroundings vigilantly.

The four of them took a rest. They helped clean up the frogs by the river. They were tired!

There was a cut on the little finger of Zhu's left hand, so he had to get it treated quickly, otherwise the bleeding would stop soon.

In fact, the main reason is that he is afraid that frog parasites will enter the wound, otherwise no one will care about him.

Jiang Wu came over again, this time without taking anything. He gave the rabbit to a few guards who helped him pick up the rabbit.

He ran here to ask for medicine for seasickness. His wife was seasick and it started after lunch. He saw the team moving forward in a hurry and was embarrassed to say it.

"Let's get a massage first. The medicine is easy to handle. Is there any pills? Ah! Take Po Chai Pills! You will also take them tomorrow."

Ling'er was about to take someone to massage her. She recovered quickly and wanted to give the employee some medicine. Suddenly she noticed Brother Hanhan making a gesture and hurriedly changed it.

Then I remembered that babies cannot take human pills, as they will get into the milk during lactation.
