Villager of Daming

Chapter 1262: No Peeling of Horseskin Shrimp Promotion

"Were we attacked by surprise? Were the people who attacked us by surprise? How many people were there?"

Nahachu was the first to speak. He lost the fight, but he wanted to know how others lost, since they were not his men anyway.

“I couldn’t see how many people there were at night, so I took inventory in the morning after daybreak. Some horses had run away, while others stayed there and wandered around. There were more than 300 dead horses, so I guess it was a mess and hard to count.

There were not many bodies left by Qiqili, only seventy-two. There were also people lying there screaming, and some even crawled away far away after being injured.

Some died while climbing, and some continued to climb. The exact situation is unclear, and the content of the telegram is limited. "

The person who came from Xiaqiu Village yawned first before telling the content, some of which he had guessed.

Nahachu watched him yawn, and yawned too, suddenly feeling sleepy: "Will the people there provide medical treatment for the wounded?"

"How is that possible! The five hundred men would not be willing to use the medicine they brought on others, and they have been chasing all the way and have no time to collect herbs. Most importantly, their medical skills are not good enough."

Ling'er spoke up. She knew that the five hundred guards could not possibly go to rescue people. They did not have the energy. There were many enemies who were always looking for opportunities to kill them. How could they waste time rescuing people?

Unless you are stupid enough to help the enemy rescue it, you cannot take it away, and in the end you have to leave it to the enemy, just to please the enemy?

Turning back, she said to her men, "Brother Fourteen, call back. Regardless of whether the horses are injured or dead, take the good horses and move forward. Leave the wounded to Qiqili."

"Good! Good horse belt, the rest of the horses will stay as they are." The person from Xiaqiu Village who came over to speak turned and ran away.

Nahachu and several of his generals: "..."

They looked at Xu Da, then at the four princes, and finally glanced at the head of the village, as if asking: Will the girl's words work now?
Seeing someone looking at him, Zhu Chong immediately agreed, "It's a good idea to keep them here. The wounded will definitely become a burden. I think our people will cut some good horse meat to take with them. It's not bad to eat raw, but it's a bit disgusting."

After saying this, he swallowed hard, and his three younger brothers made the same swallowing motion.

Gege Haji also quietly swallowed his saliva: "Cut the raw horse meat from the back into small strips and eat it, okay! It's edible!"

Obviously she had eaten raw meat and was familiar with the parts of horse meat. The part she was talking about should be the outer tenderloin, where the meat is tender and has no fat, but the fat can be easily shaved off.

It is more convenient to cut than the tenderloin and does not waste time.

Generally, sheep, camels, cattle, and horses, if there is no food during the journey, they will choose to cut a small amount of meat from the back of the neck to eat.

There is a lot of fat in that area, so you should eat the fat instead of the tenderloin. Cutting out the muscles of the tenderloin will affect the animal's ability to move.

Therefore, when the grassland people eat roasted lamb, especially roasted whole lamb, they will give the meat from the neck to the most distinguished people, especially guests.

That part is actually not very tasty, it's all fat, there is better meat on the sheep.

But the meat in that position represents a kind of etiquette, which is to reserve the chance of survival for the most noble person.

The same is true for camels. After the meat in that area is cut off, the camel can continue to survive.

Nahachu showed a surprised look: "Your Highnesses, have you ever eaten raw meat?"

"Eat!" Lao Wu said with a painful expression on his face. "Xiaqiu Village specializes in breeding various things for us to eat raw. Have you ever eaten raw centipedes? We have, as well as frogs and snakes.

In short, we have eaten all kinds of insects that we may encounter in normal times. This is called wilderness survival training.

If one day we only have these things and no fire, in order to survive, we must know how to eat.

Things in the wild may have parasites. You can first determine how many parasites there are, and then choose to eat those without or with fewer parasites.

Eating parasites is dangerous, but it is better than starving to death. Once you are safe, you can find a way to kill the parasites in your body.

Including drinking dirty water, taking off clothes, folding them into several layers, and using them to filter water, trying to filter out the unclean things. "When Lao Wu said this, Xie Qiaoer, Xu Yihua and others suddenly lost their appetite, and the wontons were no longer fragrant.

Gege Haji looked distressed and asked Zhu Chong: "Your Highness, is that dirty water also used for breeding?"

"Ah?" Zhu Chong was stunned, then shook his head: "How can you feed it with dirty water? It's not a living thing.

Xiaqiu Village has a way. They first steam the sand using a pressure cooker, then mix it before letting us drink it.

At first we didn’t know and thought it was just water scooped out from the river with silt in it.

After drinking it, I felt sick all over, and I felt like vomiting, but I didn’t dare to. After enduring it for half an hour, they told me how it was made.”

"Why can't I vomit?" A general beside Nahachu wondered, "Prince! Are you afraid of Xiaqiu Village?"

"Father is watching, how can you vomit? If you dare to vomit, you have to drink more. Father supports Xiaqiu Village in this matter.

When we normally travel, we have to walk at least one-third of the distance carrying the load.

Don’t you see that we are walking now? We don’t have to sit on a sedan chair or ride a horse. We can just follow the team!
Fortunately, I don’t have to carry any weight, which is good. Once you get used to it, you won’t be afraid of it anymore.”

Lao Wu continued to complain, but he held his head high and chest puffed out, looking proud.

"Your Highnesses are so awesome!" Gege Haji said while looking at Zhu Chong. She liked people who could endure hardships.

It turns out that the princes of the Ming Dynasty did not grow up in a honeypot. They can fight at critical moments and will not fall behind.

"Let's eat wontons! Our wontons are great! Others don't have any extra ingredients."

Ling'er invited everyone to eat, and the wontons had already been scooped into the bowls.

Other people's wontons only have wild vegetables and salt, but the wonton soup these people eat does not have salt in it. It contains shredded pickled mustard tuber and dried shrimps, which are hair shrimps, different from dried shrimps.

There are a lot of them caught in Bohai Sea. The taste is very different from shrimps and they are most suitable for making soup.

In addition to these, add a little seaweed and chopped green onions to the soup. If you like to eat coriander, you can add dried coriander yourself.

Sesame oil, aged vinegar, soy sauce, pepper, and dogwood powder are all available.

In order to make it easier to carry, the pickled mustard tuber is not lumpy. Instead, the surrounding parts are removed and cut into squares, which makes it easier to place and saves space.

This was the first time Nahachu had eaten such wontons. Even though he had been in Bohai for a long time, he really didn't like dried shrimps. He always felt that there was no meat in them.

He likes to eat big shrimps, the dried kind, and he can't eat fresh ones unless he goes to the seaside.

"This little thing is quite delicious." Nahachu saw something he didn't eat in the bowl, tasted it, and thought it was good.

“It’s better than shrimps and good for your health. The shrimp skins here can be used as tribute and you can scoop up a lot of them.

We must promote it vigorously when we get back so that other people know about it and then classify this shrimp paste into finished products.

Just saying that the current emperor eats a handful every day will make people willing to buy it.

The Crown Princess can also help promote it by saying that eating shrimp skin can increase milk production and help the baby grow well.

We can make a lot of money by selling at a discount like this, which is not possible for ordinary people."

Ling'er introduced that they had set their sights on the royal family and even the Crown Princess wanted to take advantage of them.
