Chapter 56 A shovel goes down, and it's all Pipi shrimp

The Zhu family sat in the carriage and looked at the old man under the moon who was stubbornly struggling against the ashes of the altar with great interest, and chuckled.

"Why is Mr. Zhu laughing?" Tu Tan walked over and said with a smile.

"It's nothing, I just think this old man is interesting." The Zhu family smiled and shook his head: "Did Mr. Tu ask about the situation in Donghu?" ”

Tu Tan frowned when he heard this, "According to the news of the Yu people, this Donghu tribe is called the Linhu tribe, it is likely to be a thousand-person clan, and it also has a large number of slaves, walking along this beach, there are at least six or seven tribes like the Thorn Bone Tribe, which belong to their bondage, I heard that there are also many small tribes in other mountains and forests, but they are not as numerous as them, and the Thorn Bone Tribe, because they have mastered the technology of drying salt, and this cave blessed land, so they can feed so many people." ”

"Basically, it's women and children." The Zhu family nodded.

"According to the Yu people, the Linhu tribe came to collect grain and salt in spring and autumn every year, as well as a certain number of slaves." Tu Tan frowned and said, "The specific time may be around this month." ”

"In other words, if the Piercing Bone Tribe disappears, the people of the Linhu tribe will definitely look for it, after all, this is their source of salt." The Zhu family bent down and grabbed the crystal salt on the beach and rubbed off the sand on it.

"Lin Hu may not be able to find the location of Chaoge City, after all, Qingniang and their tribe have not become Lin Hu's fetters, which means that it is outside Lin Hu's sphere of influence." Tu Tan shook his head, "My main concern is that if we want to develop this mine, we will definitely meet the Lin Hu people. ”

"If there are only a thousand people, does Brother Tu dare to break through with me?" The Zhu family asked with interest.

"It's not that you don't dare, but you don't want to?" Tu Tan shook his head, "Although you all have the courage to be unsuitable, but after all, you are outnumbered, and the birds can still hurt you, let alone the crowd?" ”

Although he knew that Tu Tan was not mocking himself, the Zhu family still touched his nose in embarrassment, "There is the emperor's trap pit, and those slaves who temporarily train the mandrill department should be able to pull up a team of 100 people." ”

"If you can't completely annihilate the other party and let anyone go, there will be endless troubles, and a thousand people can resist it, but what about tens of thousands?" Tu Tan frowned and asked.

"The Hu people can't do the project, with the height of the city wall of Chaoge, there should be no problem in holding on for a month, digging a thousand catties of copper in three days, and with the iron smelting technique of Emperor Jun, it is enough to kill 10,000 people." The Zhu family raised their eyebrows and smiled.

"What about the 100,000 people?" Tu Tan asked again.

The Zhu family knocked on the door of their heads, "I almost forgot, there are slaves." ”

"Thousands of corpses are piled up, and the city wall can be breached." Tu Tan sighed.

The Zhu family and Tu Tan stared at each other, and finally smiled at each other.

"What we can all think of, the emperor naturally expected." The Zhu family chuckled and said, "You and I are metrics, disturbing ourselves." ”

"But Mr. Zhu can think so much, Tu should be grateful." Tu Tan's eyes flashed with a different color.

"I know that Brother Tu has a lot of scruples about me, but Brother Tu might as well think about it, what is my interest in you." The Zhu family's face was full of sincerity, "The prince of the Wang family and the emperor are equivalent to being in the same boat at this time, as a retainer, how can I do anything that harms the son?" ”

"Mr. Zhu misunderstood." Tu Tan smiled and shook his head, "Tu is not worried about Mr. Speculation, he is just doing his duty, isn't Mr. Zhu too." ”

The Zhu family raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded with a smile, "Brother Tu's words are true, but in addition to official business, I still want to make friends with Brother Tu." ”

Tu Tan blinked, revealing a polite smile that was not embarrassed.

.......

The ocean is the mother of all things, and in this vast source of life, all species in the world are reproduced, and selfless dedication nurtures living creatures.

However, as a river civilization, China did not have much understanding of the ocean in the early days.

After the Chinese ancestors were accustomed to relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, they directly developed agriculture and nomadism, so they did not have much contact with the ocean, but they were full of yearning and fear for the ocean.

Even some tribes that depend on the sea for their survival dare not say how much they know about the ocean.

But Wang Xu knew what a rich treasure this ocean was.

The sea crabs that climb everywhere on the beach are the best proof of this.

Under the moonlight, these cyan sea crabs refracted the moonlight like moving pebbles, covering the entire coastline, and constantly surging to the shore with the waves.

Wang Li's eyes widened and he looked at those sea crabs the size of a human head, and the pair of thick chelicerae pincers were very intimidating, "How can it be so big?" Is it really a crab? ”

"It's not the biggest, I know there's a crab that weighs a pound." Wang Xu shoveled off the crab's pincers with a shovel, picked it up and weighed it, it was estimated that it weighed five catties, such a big sea crab was basically invisible in later generations, but here, it was not the largest.

Conservatively estimated, the sea crabs on this beach alone are enough for the tribesmen to survive this winter.....

The people of the Yu tribe have never eaten sea crabs, the first is because there is no fire, and the second is because they can't beat it.

And every year when the crabs come ashore, it is when the Yu tribe can't fish, so they also regard the sea crab as a kind of sea demon.

So when Wang Xu was about to catch the crab, Yu Chun rushed over to stop him loyally and bravely, and the dancing ghost screamed.

"Shut up." Wang Li frowned and scolded, "What is he talking about?" ”

"Yu Chun said that these demons will hurt the Emperor." Tu Tan smiled and patted Yu Chun on the shoulder, expressing his appreciation for his loyal behavior.

Wang Xu smiled, "Tell him that from now on, there will be no demons in this sea, only food." ”

So under the surprised eyes of all the Yu clansmen, Wang Xu took Tu Tan and others to start picking up crabs on the beach, and Wang Li had already set up the pot and waited for the crabs to get out of the pot.

Sea crab is a dish that can be enjoyed by boiling and steaming without any seasoning, and the taste is even more wonderful than that of river crab.

Wang Li, who said before that he would never eat crabs and river mussels, these shell foods, has long been deeply fallen.

After the boiled sea crab was opened by him, the yellow-orange-orange crab roe and the tangy aroma inside made him drool and said, "It's so fragrant!" ”

Wang Xu chuckled and shook his head, and found a lot of oysters, conchs, and clams next to the rocks by the sea.

The product is too abundant.

Wang Xu straightened his waist and sighed as he looked at the endless coastline.

The people of the Central Plains who ate seafood for the first time had green eyes, and the crabs in the pot were gone in the blink of an eye after the pot came out of the pot.

The smell of the sea covered by the aroma of cooked seafood in the air, Yu Chun and the Yu clan watched Wang Li and the others feast and swallow their saliva.

The aroma of cooked seafood has overpowered their fear of crabs.

There were a few young children, and they also picked up the crab shells that Wang Li threw away and licked them.

"Give your shovel to Yu Chun and tell him that the emperor has given him fire and pots, but they need to hunt for food." Wang Xu said to Tu Tan.

Tu Tan chewed the crab claws in his mouth and spit them out, picked up the shovel next to him and walked towards Yu Chun.

After Yu Chun got the shovel, in the expectant eyes of the clansmen, he began to shovel crabs violently.

"Don't eat too much and your stomach hurts." Wang Xu frowned and looked at the mountain-like crab shells piled up next to Wang Li, "I said, why are you also a rich kid, don't be so poor, okay?"

"How can a rich kid like me compare with an envious kid like you." Wang Li rolled his eyes, "Our family's cooking is Zhou Bazhen or something, I can only say that I can barely swallow it, and you can make the taste of mountain treasures casually can't be compared." ”

Wang Xu rolled his eyes when he heard this.

Wang Li's 'Zhou Bazhen' is composed of two meals and six dishes:

"Chun Boil" (meat soy sauce poured with rice), "Chunmu" (meat soy sauce poured with millet rice), "Cannon Dolphin" (simmered, roasted, fried and stewed suckling pig), "Pao" (simmered, roasted, fried and stewed ewe lamb), "Pound Zhen" (roasted beef, lamb, and deer tenderloin), "Pickled" (beef and mutton with sake lees), "Boiled" (similar to spiced beef jerky), "Liver" (barbecue meat oil wrapped in dog liver).

Although these foods are very common in later generations, if you explain how they are made, you will know how luxurious Wang Li, who is now licking the boiled crab cover, usually eats.

Chun Boiled and Chunmu are equivalent to two kinds of rice bowls, but there are more than 120 kinds of sauces for these two kinds of rice bowls!

醢 (yin) sixty urns, 醯 (xi) sixty urns.

A total of five Qi, seven sage, seven sage, three and other varieties.

Wuqi refers to the sauce made of five kinds of calamus, beef shutters, large clams, pork legs, and pu vegetables.

Seven kinds of meat sauce: juicy meat sauce, snails, mussels, ant eggs, fish, rabbits, and geese.

Seven pickles refer to the seven kinds of pickled vegetables such as leeks, leeks, lettuce, hollycrops, celery, moss, and bamboo shoots.

Sanmao refers to three kinds of meat sauce made from elk, deer, and roe deer.

The remaining side dishes such as porpoise, pounded treasures, boiled meat, and liver are equivalent to a variety of dishes carefully prepared by a three-Michelin-starred chef.

Luxury aside, artificial consumption alone is a terrible concept for future generations.

The evil feudal aristocracy.

Wang Xu decided not to deal with this guy who didn't know what to do, and let him eat and have diarrhea.

With a Luoyang shovel, he found a place with many air holes, and with Luoyang shoveling, Wang Xu dug out three live pipi shrimps.

After digging a few shovels, the shrimp were piled up in a small pile.

Putting down the Luoyang shovel, Wang Xu felt a little bored.

The abundance of the product made him lose all of a sudden the sense of urgency to worry about the source of food.

The seafood here is enough to eat until the winter, and after having table salt, you can marinate a lot of salted meat and salted fish, plus the wild animals on the other side of the wetland have no problem getting through this winter, even if all the small tribes around are absorbed without any pressure.

Then now the last question remains.

Their food reserve problem is solved, what about those Donghu people and Sushen people?
