Chapter 186: Who's Who's Who's Supper
The so-called water source is just a stream of water that is not even a stream, it seems to be a drop of water from the Gobi rock formations, not a step wide, but the water quality is clear and cool.
In fact, at this time, no matter how hungry and thirsty everyone is, who cares if the water is turbid or not, even Li Xiaogong and Li Jing can't help but lie on the ground and drink wildly.
After replenishing water, Li Jing's whole body came to life.
Li Xiaogong shook off the water stains on his armor, took a deep breath and said, "Only when I entered the desert did I know that water, a thing that can be seen everywhere, is so important!" β
Li Jing gave up his position to a soldier, and then shouted loudly: "Hurry up and rest, scouts will investigate around after resting, and be sure not to expose the army!" β
Those scouts hadn't rested for long, but the marshal gave the order, but they could only carry it out, after all, they were scouts.
Huang Zerui's current job is also a scout, responsible for going into the water to find the location of the reef. He has practiced underwater skills since he was a child, and he is a "live fish" in Old Man Zhou's words, and when he enters the water, he returns home.
Huang Zerui raised the red flag in his hand, and Feng An, who was holding a telescope on the boat, immediately nodded: "A big reef, we can't get rid of it for a while, that location doesn't affect the boat, just mark it on the waterway map." β
In order to facilitate communication, Li Erniu gave Huang Zerui the command flag of the Dragon Tooth Army, red means that the reef is very large, and it takes time and effort to eliminate it, green means that less than 20 people can be done, and blue means that at least 50 people can be handled.
Feng Ang shouted beautifully, but since his hand was cut by a stone, he no longer saw a reef flat.
The matter of connecting to the waterway, only 5,000 people, is really a bit insufficient!
Moreover, this is just a river that is not very wide, and Feng An's bloody slogans are shattered by the cold reality. Therefore, as long as it is not a "thorn head" reef in the middle of the river, Feng Ang will most likely choose to mark it on the map and keep it for later processing.
Fortunately, the "Thorn Head" reef is not everywhere, and the fleet still has time to hurry.
After grinning and smearing the wound with alcohol, Feng Ang said to Leng Feng: "The old man is greedy for comfort, these hands used to be so rough that they could sharpen knives, but now they have become something, like the hands of a big girl, they can even cut it with a stone." β
Leng Feng saw that Feng An's wound was not inflamed, so he relieved his heart, pressed Feng An's other hand that wanted to take the wine, and said, "Stop for two days first, I haven't found anything good about wine until now, it's better to make two cups of tea." β
Feng Ang shook his head and said: "Your tea soup in the Central Plains tastes really bad, and your family's flower tea is not bad, and when you go back to Lingnan, you can definitely make a lot of money by getting a flower tea workshop!" β
Hell if you don't make money! The trade between China and the countries of the Western Regions, silk, porcelain, and tea are the three most expensive ones, and it is expensive to leave the country, and a few strange glasses from the merchants of the Western Regions can be sold at sky-high prices, and it makes no sense that silk, porcelain, and tea are not worth anything in the Western Regions.
Anyway, these three things are at least much better looking than Liuli's!
Leng Feng wanted to take a boat to Vietnam, and it is said that the "Champa rice" of the Song Dynasty was a good seed imported from Vietnam.
Champa rice has three advantages: First, it is "drought tolerant". Second, it is adaptable, and can be planted regardless of the north and south of Datang. Third, the growth period is short, only more than 50 days from planting to harvesting.
Although the new agriculture promoted by Liu Yuan has changed the traditional bad habits and increased the grain income, it is still not as good as the introduction of improved varieties to achieve quick results, especially rare crops such as potatoes, which are actually originated in the Americas, which is really irritating.
Damn Li Jing, I don't know if he did anything to Gaochang at this time, cotton is such a good thing, and it has to be introduced to Datang a long time ago!
Old man Zhou's ears are as sensitive as a cat, and other old people can no longer hear what others are saying at this age, but he can still hear the movement on the riverbank.
"Something has come ashore!"
Old man Zhou picked up the harpoon and stood up, his straight back difficult to remind people of his real age.
Leng Feng glanced at the riverbank, heh! Lots of green eyes!
"Tsk, it's a ray! Isn't this thing afraid of fire? Leng Feng glanced at the fire in confusion, all beasts are afraid of fire, it makes no sense that these reptiles are not afraid of fire!
Old man Zhou said with a smile: "People will do anything when they are hungry, let alone the stingrays, there are no big fish in this water, it seems that these stingrays are not full during the day, and they want to eat some supper." β
Old man Zhou is a person who has been to the sea, what strange things have he never seen? Now when you meet a crocodile, you won't panic at all.
Leng Feng smelled the aroma of the grilled dried fish in his hand, and said to Huang Zerui on the side: "It seems to be your responsibility, the dried fish in your hometown is too fragrant." How about giving them an arrow? β
Huang Zerui smiled, opened his arrow box, and after pulling out the fuse, he went to the fire very coquettishly and lit the fuse, almost making Leng Feng jump up in fright!
Good boy! Isn't this bastard afraid that the root of the fuse will be lit and it will explode before it can be shot!
Thunderbolts shot into the crocodiles with green eyes by the river.
pengοΌ
This is the sound of thunderbolts exploding, and the fragments of thunderbolts are not fatal to crocodiles, but they are enough to scare them off.
The crocodiles didn't know when the two-legged creatures that used to run when they saw them had this move, and a few of the unlucky ones were bleeding. The most unlucky one happened to be shot in the eye by Huang Zerui with an arrow and was directly killed. It is the best policy to run away if you can't afford it, and the crocodiles who were still aggressive and want to eat supper just now returned to the water in unison.
Huang Zerui called out to Li Erniu and happily dragged the most unlucky crocodile back, he really wanted to taste what the meat was like.
Seeing that Li Erniu was about to cut off the crocodile's head with his knife, Leng Feng hurriedly stopped him: "Don't, cut it from the edge of its belly, you can eat the meat as you like, and the skin must be given to me!" β
Li Erniu pinched the crocodile skin and said, "Boss, you want to use this turtle skin as leather armor?" β
This crocodile skin is extremely tough, and it is absolutely strong when used to make leather armor, and ordinary swords cannot deal with it.
Leng Feng shook his head: "I'm going to make a money bag with the skin on its belly, and a backpack with the skin on its back." β
Crocodile leather is one of the top materials in leather, and the things made from it are durable and do not lose their luster over time, but rather look better and better.
Leng Feng had a crocodile wallet before, which was domestic, and it was used for several years without a little wear and tear.
But it's a pity that I didn't bring it with me on this mission, and I didn't bring it to the Tang Dynasty. You know, that wallet contains a family photo from his childhood, which he used to miss his parents.
