The things of the Sea Buckthorn Zerg United Nations suddenly increased, and they needed to collect intelligence, build a cloud palace, build a warehouse, search for oil and salt, find the queen ant, and so on. Xiao Ran suddenly felt a little too busy, but he immediately sorted out his clues, and he didn't have to do everything himself.

Jiulixiang is responsible for the sentry post and the collection of intelligence, Xiaoshan and the four Shidi of the Shi family are responsible for the construction of the Cloud Palace, and Huajiao is responsible for the search for the queen ant. As for himself, he is mainly responsible for the construction of the warehouse and the exploration of oil and salt.

So, Xiao Ran shouted to the workers again: "It's time to open up a road of oil and salt!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

The workers cheered.

Xiao Ran took the rattan pepper, Xiao Mori and the four spear ants, a total of seven ants, and headed for the third grandfather's kitchen.

Starting from the Sea Buckthorn Wastes, after passing through the Land of the Dead, there is a small area that borders the Empire. Xiao Ran thought to himself, before conquering the empire, this is a place to focus on guarding.

After passing the border with the Empire, we arrived in front of the mouth of the mountain spring. A few meters further on, there is the firewood room where the leg essence once laid eggs, and it is also here that Xiao Ran made a plan to get rid of the leg essence.

A little further on, there was a ditch, and it was the third grandfather's kitchen.

This total distance adds up to more than 50 meters. This is much farther than the expedition that made persimmon cakes at that time.

The seven ants walked for nearly an hour before they climbed to the edge of the third grandfather's kitchen. Crawling into the kitchen of the third grandfather's house, a familiar scene caught Xiao Ran's eyes.

Over the years, the kitchen of the third grandfather's house has always remained like this, and it seems that one layer has not changed. It's simple, but it's always clean.

But in front of me, such a small kitchen, but a lot of food is produced.

Xiao Ran only remembers that when he was very young, when he came to the third grandfather's house for dinner, he could always eat delicious food that he couldn't usually eat. The third grandfather's lightly fried crispy pork is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the meat is fragrant......

He remembered that when he was a child, his third grandfather once told him that the small crispy meat should be fried until it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and it needs to be fried three times in total to have this effect.

Later, when Xiao Ran recalled the words of the third grandfather, he tried many times, but he didn't get the taste he had eaten when he was a child.

Xiao Ran still remembers that he once ate the third grandfather's scrambled duck eggs. He couldn't figure out what kind of duck eggs were fried at that time, domestic celery, leeks, or coriander.

All he remembered was that he hadn't tasted it since he left the mansion.

Xiao Ran climbed onto the stove, the third grandfather's stove was simple and rough but very practical. It is surrounded by cement, and the countertop is covered with a layer of white tiles.

This stove can hold a total of three pots. An antimony pot for boiling water and rice, a small aluminum pot for absorbing residual heat, and a large iron pot.

A small aluminum pot used to absorb residual heat, located on the flue, is higher than an antimony pot or iron pot. When using a firewood fire to heat an antimony pot or a large iron pot, the waste heat heats up a small aluminum pot when the smoke is exhausted, so that some hot water can be boiled.

Xiao Ran ran to the antimony pot and looked at it, the lid of the pot was all brushed and shiny, and sure enough, it was the same as Xiao Ran's memory. He turned to look, and the salt and oil were on the cupboard opposite the stovetop.

Cupboards are also made of cement and tiles. When Xiao Ran was a child, he thought this kind of white countertop was very good-looking, but when he saw many marble countertops, granite countertops and other stone countertops, he didn't think it was very good-looking when he looked at this rough countertop.

It's just that this simple countertop, its durability, is beyond Xiao Ran's imagination, it was like this more than ten years ago, and it is still like this more than ten years later.

Oil!

A bucket of yellow and black rapeseed oil!

Finally found the oil!

Next to the oil drum, there is table salt, and a bottle of gold label light soy sauce.

Other than that, there are just some peppercorns and chili peppers.

Well?

Xiao Ran wondered in his heart, obviously he had eaten so many delicious foods at the third grandfather's house when he was a child, could it be that they were all cooked with these simple ingredients?

He climbed down the stove and up to the opposite cupboard.

"It's oil. Xiao Ran pointed to the oil drum and said to the other six ants.

"It's soy sauce. ”

"It's salt for nothing. ”

Xiao Ran introduced soy sauce and salt respectively.

"Wait. Rattan pepper said.

"What's wrong?" asked Xiao Ran.

"Oil and soy sauce are both oils, what is the difference between them?" asked Fuji Pepper.

Xiao Ran thought for a moment and replied, "The yellow with black is oil, and the black like you is soy sauce." ”

"Haha......"

"Hahaha......"

When the other ants heard this, they burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at, aren't you black?" said Fuji Pepper.

"Alright, let's try our oil cartridges!" Xiao Ran said.

Rattan Pepper took off the straw behind him. The seven ants looked at the tightly screwed canola oil cylinder, indicating that there was nothing they could do. It seems that only when the third grandfather pours out the oil can he come to transport the rapeseed oil.

But the salt is very easy to take, and the salt is in a bag with a large opening. Xiao Ran looked at his six feet, and there was not a trace of dust. These six feet were all covered with morning dew, and when they were in a hurry, they also picked a clean road to move forward.

After walking more than 50 meters, it is really not easy to maintain this level of cleanliness.

After looking at his feet, he climbed into the salt bag with confidence. He thought to himself that when he took salt from the third grandfather's house, he must wash himself cleanly and not bring a trace of pollution.

Rattan Pepper looked at the white, somewhat transparent salt, and tasted it with his big mouth.

"Bah, what is this, it's so unpalatable!" said Rattan Pepper.

"Salt, stop making trouble, hurry up and pretend. Xiao Ran said.

The loading of salt went smoothly, with four spear ants and rattan peppers, and a total of five transport oil cylinders were brought. Each cartridge is filled with salt, and then the bite is closed, and no salt is spilled.

Then, Xiao Ran instructed Rattan Pepper and the four spear ants to tie the oil cylinder to their backs, and the five ants took the five cylinders of salt back in the direction of the Sea Buckthorn Wasteland.

This time the transport was also successful and smooth, and there was no resistance from the Empire on the way.

But what is missing is a warehouse for salt and oil. This warehouse must not only be fireproof, but also within the protection of the Cloud Palace.

Xiao Ran instructed Tengjiao to take the four spear ants and store the salt transported back in the anti-sperm cave first, but after the first phase of the Cloud Palace was completed and the sea buckthorn storage warehouse was put into use, the salt was stored in the new warehouse.

As for the transportation of oil, it can only depend on when the third grandfather pours out the rapeseed oil, Xiao Ran thought to himself.

A new road of oil and salt was opened up in this way, and Xiao Ran looked at the five cylinders of salt and pepper bamboo shoots in front of him, which were already in front of him.
