Chapter 252: A Different Approach
If this is placed in Chang'an, on weekdays, such a big snow, such a white world, Wu Yuanqing may be very interested in reciting two sentences: "The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, looking at the Great Wall inside and outside, but the rest of the recklessness, up and down the big river, suddenly lost and surging, the mountain dance silver snake, the original Chi wax elephant, want to compare with the heavenly princess"
Feel the "must be sunny, look at the red dress plain wrapping, extraordinarily enchanting, the country is so delicate, leading countless heroes to bend their waists, cherish the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, slightly lose the literary style, Tang Dynasty and Song ancestors, slightly inferior coquettish, a generation of Tianjiao, Genghis Khan, only know how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle, all in the past, a number of romantic characters, but also look at the present dynasty" heroic.

But now, Wu Yuanqing did not have a trace of appreciating the snow, but was as bitter as his dead father.
Well, in fact, he is not necessarily much sad when the cheap daddy samurai is dead.
"What's that, Mr. Huo cooks and lets everyone eat something to warm up, as for what to do, let's work together to find a way after eating." Wu Yuanqing wrapped the fur on his body and said.
"It's all dying, you're still in the mood to eat at this time," Cheng Chumo blushed and exclaimed.
"Isn't it that you're not dead yet, what's the hurry, and besides, it's useful to be in a hurry, I'll let everyone be anxious to see it together." Wu Yuanqing asked rhetorically.
Cheng Chumo was asked, opened his mouth and stopped talking, Wu Yuanqing patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "It's useless to be anxious, only when you have a full meal will you have the strength and mood to think of a solution." ”
Speaking of this, Wu Yuanqing smiled: "Even if you can't think of a way, if you want to die, you can't be a full ghost."
"Damn, Lao Tzu is really in a hurry, you will die anyway, whatever you want" Cheng Chumo shook off Wu Yuanqing's hand and left in a hurry.
Looking at Chen Chumo's back as he walked away, Wu Yuanqing sighed inaudibly: "Yes, if you want to die, I will die." ”
The snow was so heavy that the tents were pressed low, and the people who got up took their hands to clear the snow from above.
The cook did not start cooking immediately, but called the idle people to find firewood.
The branches of the trees were covered with snow, ice cubes, which were almost impossible to use to make fires, and the dead grass on the ground was buried by snow, and it was no longer visible.
It took hundreds of people more than an hour to get back the half-dried and damp firewood.
The limited amount of dry firewood will be used to light the fire first, and when the fire is bigger, then put wet wood inside.
There was a crackling sound when the wet wood was put in, and then thick smoke billowed and filled the camp with the howling north wind, which looked like a fairyland. It's just that I can't choke, and I cough violently with red and swollen eyes.
It was almost noon when the fire was lit and the meal was cooked.
In order to save the food supply army, the rations of the original grain transportation team should be limited and reduced by a part.
But Wu Yuanqing did not abide by this custom, but increased the amount of food for all the people, not only that, but also took out part of the cured meat prepared for the army and let the man boil the soup.
Smelling the fragrance coming from the pot, the desperate army of grain transporters who were shivering from the cold felt a trace of vitality and warmth again.
Compared with the lifelessness of the grain transport team, the samurai caravan following behind was much easier to live.
Wu Yuanqing had already prepared for the cold in the north, and every martial artist wore three layers inside and three layers outside, even if it was not warm, it was not too cold.
Not to mention the good clothes, they all ate well, they didn't bring money when they came out this time, all the vehicles were all pulling food, part of it was grain, and more was cooked food, like fried flour, steamed and boiled biscuits that had been compressed and air-dried, steamed bread slices and the like, as well as air-dried noodles.
Although it is not possible to press it so thin and thin with a machine like later generations, it is still possible to roll it by hand.
Then there is the river fishing made of coarse grain powder, which is not the kind that is freshly cooked and cooked, but the noodles are steamed first and then pressed into thin strips through the river fishing machine.
The method is very simple, and the river fishing machine is not difficult to make, a cylinder, a thin iron sheet with many holes, plus a quadripod, and a lever-like dough bar can be made.
This is a way to eat in Wu Yuanqing's hometown in later generations, which is most suitable for the kind of busy farming time, and you don't need to cook it when you go back at noon, you only need to soak this kind of river fishing in hot water for a few minutes to eat.
The food and clothing are good, and their mission this time is to make money, and they don't need to take their lives if they can't make money, so they don't have any psychological burden.
If you want to say anything, you are also worried about whether your eldest young master will be subject to military justice because of the delay.
After a hard-fought breakfast, everyone began to think of a way to get there.
It's a pity that at this time, ordinary people don't know a few big characters, and nine and a half out of ten are illiterate, so it's okay for them to bend down and bury their heads in things, and it's better to kill them if they want to find a way.
In the end, it could only be Wu Yuanqing, Cheng Chumo, and another lieutenant Sun Qian, as well as Captain Guo Yi below, and the brigade commander or something gathered together to stare dryly.
"Look at what I'm doing, you guys should tell me what to do" Wu Yuanqing asked with a glare.
"General, why don't you let the coachman go ahead to clear the snow from the road first, and when they finish clearing the snow, we'll hurry again," a brigade commander surnamed Zhang whispered.
"Are you stupid, how long will it take to clear such a thick snow and a road that can be walked by the grain team, ten days, or twenty days, and when it is cleared, the Turks have been defeated" Cheng Chu kicked silently and kicked the brigade commander who spoke to the ground.
Wu Yuanqing also supported his forehead, and he didn't bother to stop it, so he deserved to be beaten.
I couldn't think of a way to do it, but now I have to be beaten if I say something wrong, and with what happened to this brigade commander, others dare not speak.
Wu Yuanqing walked to a carriage in distress, raised his foot and kicked the wheels, only to see that the wheels did not move at all, but made his feet slip and almost fall.
"I can't think of a way, what are you doing with the car, don't you see that the wheels are all frozen with snow, can you kick it, it's not that your feet are in vain" Cheng Chumo couldn't help but say.
"Hey, don't you say I didn't even notice it, the wheels are frozen, and even if there is a way to clear the snow, I can't walk. This god really wants to kill Lao Tzu" Wu Yuanqing reminded silently through Cheng, only to find that now he can't do it if he wants to move step by step, and the wheels are frozen and the grain team is going to nest here completely.
"If you can put iron pieces on the wheels, maybe you can slide away," a subtle voice sounded behind Wu Yuanqing.
"What are you talking about" Wu Yuanqing didn't hear it very clearly, but he felt that he had thought of something, so he turned his head and asked.
"No, it's nothing" Seeing that the general's eyes were round and his voice was stern, Captain Guo Yidu, who spoke, stammered in fright.
"Repeat what you just said, quick" Wu Yuanqing almost shouted.
Cheng Chumo thought that this Captain Guo Yi said something that should not be said, and Tie Qing was about to teach a lesson, but was stopped by Wu Yuanqing with his eyes.
"The last general just said, saying, put iron pieces on the wheels, maybe you can slide away" This Guo Yi Lieutenant was about to cry.
"Hahaha, load the iron sheet, load the iron sheet to the wheel and slide away, why didn't Lao Tzu think about it, I skated in the river on an ice car all day long in the winter when I was a child, how did I forget about it at a critical time. The ice cart glides smoothly and quickly on the ice because of the wire bars on the wooden poles on both sides of the bottom. It's okay to get on this car, you just need to turn on the wheels and you can slide away. The more Wu Yuanqing thought about it, the more excited he became, and the method came out inadvertently.
"No, the method of unloading the wheels is not good, the key is that you can't get iron pieces now. However, it is still feasible to slide and walk, but without iron bars, you can do the same as the Northeasterners or Eskimos. They are dogs and people are slippery, and our mules can pull the same. Wu Yuanqing had solidified his thinking before, just thinking about how the carriage could roll smoothly, and completely forgot that he could still slide away, but now that his thoughts are clear, his thinking is broadened.
