Villager of Daming

Chapter 520 No worries about property and medicine (second update)
"Chief, we want to eat chicken now, can you conjure it up?" Zhu Xi asked after eating the delicious shrimp oil side dish.

"There are air-dried chicken, air-dried duck, air-dried goose, ham, and various other cans in the car, which have not been taken out. Your Highness wants to eat?"

The head of the village revealed the reserves. At critical moments, he can't control whether others die or not. The prince and King Qin must live.

With so many cars in the convoy, there are special places for all kinds of food to ensure that the two of them will not lack food.

"No, there are also in our team, you just leave them alone! We are reluctant to eat them, including saltpeter. Saltpeter can make ice, and it is very useful to get water in the sand."

Zhu Xi shook his head, he didn't want to use those things, the team was not at the end of its rope, and it never was.

Even if it takes two or three days of water to last seven days, if you grit your teeth and take out things, you can still persevere.

It's just that the loss is too great, and He Lin doesn't know how to replenish it when the time comes, and the overall efficiency is not as good as giving up some horses.

The process of fetching water by means is delayed, and the horse consumes water again. The water taken must exceed the amount of water consumed by the team.

After spending a lot of resources, we can only save [-]% more water. With the extra days, how many times will the travel time be extended?All brought to get water.

Drilling is still the most convenient way to boost morale.

Zhu Biao felt comfortable after eating and took a rest: "Li Zhang, is there a coal mine in Helin?"

After asking, he bowed his head slightly, sorry, the experts in Daming's mining industry can point it out, and now he is asking about people outside of Daming.

The head of the village shook his head, and when Zhu Biao thought that the head of the village would say that he did not know, the head of the village said: "No, but let's go forward for more than a day, there is a place in the west that is a coal mine, an open-pit mine, and an iron mine. up.

But if there is good soil, pottery and bricks can be made. In addition, where there is a river next to the forest, hot springs can be dug and bathing is convenient.

Let's keep going, we can see the river, there are mountains in front, the main peak is covered with snow all the year round, we can reach Helin by following the river flowing down the mountain. "

The head of the village who has made up lessons is amazing again, knowing everything.

"It's all snow on the mountain?" Zhu Biao really didn't understand the situation, because Bei Yuan occupied this place before.

"There is gold on the mountain, and there is also mica. Mica is a kind of stone. If used to make paper, it can be rolled around copper wires as an insulator. It can also be used in steam engines. It is acid-resistant, alkali-resistant, and heat-resistant. Oh! It Or medicine.”

The chief said that the things on the mountain include gold and ore, and mica ore has many uses, and it is most convenient to make mica paper.

"So, we want to mine here?" Zhu Biao was planning how to mobilize manpower.

"No, no, it's also available in other places. It's not cost-effective to pick it here."

The head of the village said that there was no need for it. I just told you what happened on the mountain when you asked.

"Okay, let's eat first, otherwise it will be cold." Zhu Biao heaved a sigh of relief and didn't need to transfer staff.

……

In the middle of the night, the breeder delivered fodder to the camels and horses, adding some salt to it.

The fence is very low, and it is only driven into the underground part after a certain distance. It cannot stop horses and camels by itself.

The horses and camels also knew the situation. They had always been like this along the way. It was very easy to get out, but what were they going to do?

The fence is a range, and everyone moves within the fence.

Some horses are mischievous, jump out with a mischievous sound, and then jump back with a mischievous sound after a while.

The wild ass fences were also visited, and they were also given salt and chopped fodder, as well as water.

They hid to the side, and when the things were put away and people left, they immediately came forward to eat.

Then the camel began to sleep, in various postures, depending on the degree of tension, some sleeping standing up, some sleeping on their knees with their limbs folded, and some simply lying on their sides.

Currently, a high proportion of camels are sleeping on their sides, surrounded by tents, familiar people, and lights.The same is true for horses. They will lie on their side to rest only when they are particularly relaxed and feel safe.

In fact, donkeys can also lie down and sleep. The whole question is whether they think it is safe or not.

"I slept really well yesterday. I took a hot bath." Zhu Xi tidied up, came over to eat, and stretched.

The breakfast is still noodles with glutinous rice noodles. I deliberately made more noodles last night. Anyway, it will not be spoiled in the cold weather. In the morning, boil the water under the bottom, and heat the glutinous rice noodles in a large pot on the other side.

Therefore, Zhu Wentian added extra corn starch when he was heating the steamed buns. At the same time, when he got up in the morning, he added vegetables to Zhu Biao and Zhu Chong. The minced bacon was stuffed with steamed buns that he had made yesterday.

Boiled rice is made of starch, which is used to thicken cornstarch. After steaming, it is made to be steamed. You can dip it in anything you like, and it’s okay to dip it in vinegar if you like it sour.

But soy sauce is better, isn't this Mongolian?If you eat dumplings without dipping them in soy sauce, you will be arrested by the yamen and go to jail, but you will not be arrested if you are bored?
"Li Chang, why do you still have garlic sauce? How do you preserve raw garlic?" Zhu Xi couldn't figure it out when he saw the garlic sauce that he was dipping into.

"Before, it was stored in a box made of saltpeter ice, but now it's taken out and it's cold outside.

If it is not preserved in that way, the garlic will germinate when it is hot, or even rot, and it will be poisonous if it is rotten.

The ice box is always there, and there are two vehicles responsible for it. The key is not the garlic, which is incidental.

There is medicine in it, we have brought it with us since we set off, and we got some on the way, so we didn't tell His Highness about these things.

Don't worry, Your Highness, unless it's a meteorite falling from the sky or a sudden subsidence of the ground, under normal circumstances, we have remedial measures for any accident. "

After the director finished speaking, he took a small piece of stuffed rice and dipped it in garlic sauce, then ate it in his mouth with a satisfied look on his face.

"What medicine needs to be kept iced all the time? Why haven't we heard of it? Ice flakes? No, ice flakes are not ice."

Zhu Xi has a strong desire for knowledge, but he doesn't understand that ice must be used for medicine.

"Your Highness, don't ask. Anyway, we don't want His Highness to use that moment. There are several types of them. They are the same in both cars. We are afraid that one car will have problems. It is very precious!"

The chief didn't answer directly, but Zhu Ping couldn't do anything to him anyway.

"Do you like to talk or not, hum!" Zhu Xi muttered, bowing his head to eat the noodles.

The environment in the Gobi is indeed different from the desert. Everyone is in a relaxed mood, including the animals.

Camels and horses are obedient and will not lower their heads to eat grass from the bushes while on the road.

The wild donkeys didn't care about that much, they ate, ate a few bites hard, and then caught up with the team, eating while walking, relying on their speed and no weight.

They have recognized this team, probably because they think this team is very good at finding water.

As the team moved forward, there were more and more vegetation. As the speed increased, they did not walk for seven days. After four days, they crossed the small valley and arrived at Lingbei.

"From this point of view, if we work hard tomorrow, we will be able to reach Helin City. This is where General Xu fought bravely with Wang Baobao."

The young general came over at the third quarter of Shenchu ​​and talked to the prince and the king of Qin.

There are two more days for the winter solstice, and now the sky is a little dark, and it gets dark early.

According to location calculation, this place belongs to the East Eighth District.

"Wang Baobao? Humph!" Zhu Ping was most disgusted with Wang Baobao, and at the same time he was grateful to Xiaqiu Village.

"Chief, how about I personally cook a dish for you tonight?" Zhu Fang wanted to express his gratitude with practical actions.

"Uh..." The chief was frightened.
