lying down

Ouyang was secretly surprised when he heard the words. It is one thing that the salt powder he made simply is much stronger than the salt blocks distributed in the camp, but it is another thing to meet the standard of "extreme sea salt" that Qilang said.

After thinking about it for a while, he immediately realized how Qilang knew about "extreme sea salt". Both Bingzhou and Panshan Village in Yunzhou live inland, so they don't often encounter sea salt, but there is a lot of well salt.Maybe there are some in Jinyang City, but in a poor place like Panshan Village, even well salt is a precious thing.

Without waiting for everyone to ask questions, Qilang looked at the fire and seemed to recall the past, and said: "It was during the reign of Wude. One day I was hunting in the mountains, and I met a team of sable hunters. They are big families in the capital. They hired them with money, and they rushed over when they heard that there were many sables in the misty forest. Seeing that I am familiar with mountain roads and I am a hunter, they hired me as a guide in the mountains. A small bag of salt, I remember very clearly, about two or two weights. They said it was Huaiyang sea salt, and it was the best salt. I used some after I got home, and the taste was really different. It was like heaven and earth. It’s not comparable to well salt.”

When he said this, his eyes flashed with excitement, he licked his lips and continued: "The salt powder made by the eighth brother this time is a bit inferior in taste, but it is easy to make, and it is not far from the word 'superior'! "

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at Ouyang eagerly.You must know that the imperial court now allows its own production and sales, as long as you pay heavy taxes to the relevant departments of the imperial court, everything will be smooth.That tax is only a drop in the bucket in terms of salt benefits, and gold and silver will be within easy reach.

Hearing this, Ouyang thought to himself that his time in the Tang Dynasty was too short, less than three years, and his foundation was not stable.Like the fatty meat of salt, I don’t know how many dignitaries and wealthy families are watching, waiting to share the meat and drink the soup. If I suddenly use the method of later generations to intervene in this muddy water, I will act recklessly and ruin their interests. , the troubles at that time were also endless.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand towards them, and said, "Let's discuss it later, let's focus on our own job first. If one day I get rich because of the salt incident, I will not miss everyone." One copy. It’s just that salt is a matter of great profit, and there are many involved and corresponding troubles, so it’s really not worth it.”

It is reasonable that this word fell into the ears of everyone.A group of people nodded like chickens pecking rice, temporarily resting their thoughts.

At this time, everyone around the bonfire stopped talking, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into silence, which formed a great contrast with the lively atmosphere of the soldiers next to them.

Wulang's nose twitched, his eyebrows raised, and he jumped in front of Ouyang, looking at the golden-roasted snake meat, drooling: "Eighth brother, I don't care whether it's salted or not, and let's install my brother's five internal organs temple first. You Grilling with your hands, just look at it, smell it, the glutton in my stomach has already screamed, hurry up, give me a taste."

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to grab it, Ouyang hurriedly stretched out his hand to block it and said with a smile: "Brother, you are really impatient, there are so many people, and there are only three in total, you are ashamed to panic!"

Wu Lang rubbed his head and smirked twice, looked at the teasing eyes of everyone and said: "They are all my brothers, I don't have so much restraint. But one is too much, how about half of it?"

That pretentious and silly look made everyone laugh, the oldest person was like a living treasure.

Ouyang had no choice but to take down the nine-mature roasted snake and split it with a military dagger for everyone to divide.

At this point, the six people in front of them all got up to grab it, and there were fifty or so soldiers surrounding them, staring eagerly at the snake and giggling. Hooked their souls over.

Let them go to the fun, Ouyang stood in a corner with a smile, but thought of other things in his mind.

This is already the second day in the mountains, but there are still soldiers chasing him.He clearly remembered that he and Xu Shiji had made a decision to stop searching within twelve hours after he left the camp, so that he could take this group of reckless men who only knew how to fight and "carve out" carefully, so that they could systematically I learned some necessary skills for special forces, but I didn't want to be searched after nearly [-] hours.

What happened?Whether it was Xu Shiji's whim or other reasons, Ouyang has no way of knowing, let alone judging.

He now faces two choices, one is to continue, and the other is to lead the team back to camp.I and the special brigade have not violated any military discipline or state law, so there is no need to worry about becoming the "prey" of the camp.

In fact, it is not a bad thing to have soldiers chasing. It is a good opportunity to treat this as a tracking and anti-tracking exercise, and to hone and learn various skills during the period.Thinking of this, he already had an idea in his mind, and decided to "play" with Xu Shiji in the mountains for six days. He was a hardcore "Tang fan" of the Tang Dynasty in his previous life, and he had always admired Xu Shiji's life.Now that I have the opportunity to fight, I'm better than myself, let's see how much I have.

A sense of challenge and excitement emerged spontaneously, and I stood there and giggled a few times with "hehe".

"Eighth brother! Miss Di Xue? Look at your silly happy face!" Wu Lang and Ge Ye walked side by side, holding the dripping snake meat in both hands and stuffing it straight into their mouths, as if they had never eaten in a lifetime. A rare thing in general.

Ouyang curled his lips and said with a smile: "Elder brother, eat yours quickly, do you think they are all like you? Hold sister-in-law Chu Xiang in your hands for fear of falling, and hold them in your mouth for fear of melting. One day is like three autumns." , how can I compare with you?"

Goro stared, as if he had been stabbed, his face turned red and he stretched out his foot to kick.

Ouyang stepped back, blinked and asked, "Brother, are you full?"

Wu Lang's leg was stuck in the air, his face turned happy in an instant, his mouth was full of snake flesh and he said vaguely: "What? Can you still conjure it?"

Ouyang straightened his clothes, and walked slowly, pretending to be a modest and dignified gentleman, while muttering softly in his mouth: "Lang Li Grand, my beggar chicken—"

"Cough!" Hearing this, Ge Ye and Wu Lang secretly hated to forget the wild pheasant buried in the soil. Seeing that the snake meat in their hands was so fragrant, they must have nowhere to find the chicken.The two huddled around Ouyang one by one, and with all their strength supported him and threw him to the fire.

"Hey hey——" Ouyang Wan in the air did not expect the two elder brothers to be so frolicking, and the air suddenly retracted, but still hugged Qin Feng, who was eating snake meat in front of him, and hit him directly The big piece of meat stuck in his throat, and he spat out "cough cough".

Ouyang is really helpless. As a younger brother, he is always bullied by his elder brother. "Old" is respected, but he doesn't realize the feeling of loving "young".He squatted down and picked up the wooden stick, cleared away all the small fire piles beside the campfire, took out the general dagger and dug along the loose soil, and after digging a dozen times, he saw dried red mud.Use a stick and a military dagger to take it out and turn it over twice to hang it there.

At this time, only the sound of chewing "bajibaji" was left, and both eyes were looking at the helmet-sized mud ball.

Everyone in my group knew what it was, but the soldiers in the other group didn't see Ouyang wrapping the pheasant in mud and buried it in the ground, and their faces were full of doubts.

Zhao Zi'ang's eyes were sharp, he caught sight of the chicken feathers on the edge, and shouted anxiously: "Chicken!" He stretched out his hand to grab it, not wanting the dry red mud to be as hot as fire, Zhao Zi'ang withdrew his hands and blew on it.

"Haha, I said Ziang, why are you in a hurry? Didn't you see that we still don't move, can you 'chicken' move?" Wu Lang had the potential to gloat, he laughed and patted Zhao Ziang.

Ouyang looked at the crowd and said, "This food is really delicious. It's called 'beggar chicken'. According to legend, a long time ago, there was a beggar who wandered to a village while begging for food. One day, he got a chicken by chance. He wanted to slaughter and cook, but he had neither cooking utensils nor seasonings. So he killed the chicken, removed the internal organs, coated the chicken with yellow mud and firewood, put the coated chicken in the fire and roasted it until the mud was dry and the chicken was cooked. Peel off the mud shell, and the chicken feathers are also taken off with the mud shell, revealing the chicken. The meat is crispy, soft and tender, far more delicious than the usual ones, but aren’t you all full? Then I will eat it Bar!"

"Hey, Commander Lu, who said I'm full, look at my stomach is not up yet!"

"That's right, Commander-in-Chief, don't you know that men in the army are all big-bellied? That little bit just now is enough for a toothbrush. I don't want you to hide your hand. Brothers, go there!"

A certain soldier yelled, and the crowd rushed to grab it. After hearing Ouyang's story about "beggar chicken", they couldn't bear it any longer. It's to grab the excitement.

Ouyang yelled twice anxiously, but he had never eaten a bite of meat, these soldiers ruffians are all ruffian to the bone.When he pushed aside the crowd to see, there was only chicken feathers covered in mud, where was there a piece of meat?

Wu Lang grabbed the chicken leg with one hand, and a piece of chicken breast with the other, bit into two mouthfuls of zeixiang, and dangled it in front of Ouyang's eyes. "Eighth brother, it's delicious, it's really delicious! It's a pity, it's a pity, you won't be able to eat it anymore."

Ouyang smiled helplessly, seeing how everyone was eating, he really didn't know what to say: "Brother, you haven't sprinkled salt yet, it's authentic if you sprinkle salt!"

Upon hearing this, Goro stuffed the bitten chicken leg into Ouyang's mouth, touched Ouyang's arms with his bare hands, took out the salt powder wrapped in oil paper, sprinkled some as Ouyang did just now, put it in his mouth and swallowed it "reluctantly" Go down - put too much salt.

Seeing Goro dumbfounded, Ouyang wanted to laugh.Quickly ate the chicken drumsticks as the bottom of the list, and watched the crowd frolicking and eating, and gradually warmed up.

"Listen up, everyone. In the next five days, each team will look for food by itself, and drink by itself when eating. It will be considered cheap for you today, but there will not be so many good things in the future. Soldiers in the special brigade must learn to survive in extreme environments. The survival skills in the fire, these are only the most basic, if you can’t light the fire in the future, you will have to tear it up and eat it raw, remember, only by surviving can you hope to complete the task!”

Seeing that everyone was about to finish eating, Ouyang said a few words in his heart, and everyone listened quietly.

Just as Ouyang was about to continue talking, there was a sound of rolling stones from the distance in the corridor when he came!

Everyone was shocked, and their expressions changed drastically!
