Chapter Twenty-Four: The Yam That Saves Your Life!
[Today's second update! ] No. 2 on the list of new history books, I want to go to the next level. Would it be good for students to support more? 】
On the night of the second day, Liu Minghua once again organized people to conduct night direction discrimination training, and this time all of them participated in the training.
The air quality in the Tang Dynasty was really very good, there was no pollution, especially the night sky on the grassland was unusually clear, and the stars were very clear.
Liu Minghua once again told everyone about the Big Dipper and the North Star, and then after continuous training, in the end, everyone was basically able to find the direction at night.
Liu Minghua saw that there was no big problem for everyone to distinguish the direction, so he began to train the soldiers in their ability to practice night battles.
In the 21st century, special teams attach great importance to night battles, so Liu Minghua's night combat ability is absolutely unparalleled in the world in the era of Datang!
Everyone was tossed half to death by Liu Minghua in one night, because Liu Minghua was very strict. Liu Minghua told everyone a truth -- more training in peacetime and less bloodshed in wartime. This truth is easy to understand, so everyone gritted their teeth desperately and persevered.
After training, Liu Minghua asked everyone to eat something before going to sleep. With such high-intensity training, it's not good to keep up with nutrition. Fortunately, now that the water and salt have been solved, and the food is a little bit, Liu Minghua said that one step at a time is one step, let's eat it now, and find a way later.
However, Liu Minghua still left some non-perishable food, ready to let everyone eat a full meal on the day of the breakout.
During the day the next day, Liu Minghua walked around in the grove on the cliff with a heavy heart. How do you solve the food? This is indeed a big problem.
Lan'er and Le'er accompanied Liu Minghua, they felt Liu Minghua's mood, but it was a pity that they couldn't help.
After many hunts, the animals in the grove were basically caught, and there was not even a single bird in it.
"Well, scorpions, centipedes, and snakes are hard to find now...... Brother Minghua, what are we going to eat in the future? Le'er raised her head and asked Liu Minghua.
Liu Minghua touched Le'er's head and said, "What to eat?" What to eat, of course! In fact, people can eat anything when they are in a hurry, such as tree bark, branches, and grass. ”
Le'er asked again: "That...... Can you eat the roots? ”
Lan'er was angry and said, "How can the roots of the tree eat?" Brother Minghua is thinking about how to solve the big problem of food, you don't have to talk nonsense. ”
"Roots? Who says tree roots can't be eaten? Actually, the roots of the tree ......" Liu Minghua said this, suddenly froze his body, and then looked at some plants in front of him in a daze.
"Brother Minghua, what's wrong with you?" Le'er asked.
Liu Minghua was stunned for a while, then suddenly jumped up excitedly and said, "I remember, there is really a kind of tree root that can be eaten!" And it seems that there are such roots here! Thank you Le'er for the reminder, maybe you have made a great contribution this time. Haha, it seems that I am not only the first god stick in Datang, but also the first lucky general in Datang! ”
After Liu Minghua finished speaking, he excitedly ran to a bush of plants in front of him, took out a military dagger and carefully dug the roots of a plant.
Lan'er looked surprised and said, "No, Minghua, do you really want to eat tree roots?" This ......"
Liu Minghua kept moving his hands and replied: "This is not an ordinary tree root, this plant is amazing. But it's really strange, why is there such a plant here? Who said the heavens were going to kill me? This is the life-saving star that God has given us! ”
Seeing Liu Minghua's surprised look, Lan'er was curious: "What is it?" How happy you are? ”
Liu Minghua said with a smile: "I can't say it now, I'm afraid of empty joy, wait until I dig it out to see if it's okay." ”
Liu Minghua then dug deeper and deeper, more than a foot deep, but the roots of the tree have not yet been dug out.
"This little plant has such deep roots?" Lan'er and Le'er are very curious now.
"It's, it should be, I think it is, I think it's ...... Haha, thank goodness it was! Liu Minghua is now a little incoherent with excitement.
Next, Liu Minghua suddenly held out a long tree root, so excited that he burst into tears.
Lan'er and Le'er stared at the roots of the tree, which were more than a foot long, and said strangely: "Could it be that this root is edible?" ”
"Yes, absolutely!" After Liu Minghua finished speaking, he trembled and peeled off the black-brown roots with a military dagger, revealing snow-white roots inside, as if there were milky white liquid dripping.
Lan'er looked at this strange root carefully, not knowing why Liu Minghua was so excited. Lan'er thinks that even if this root is edible, it is very unpalatable, Liu Minghua doesn't need to be so happy, right?
After Liu Minghua was happy for a while, he unceremoniously took a bite of the snow-white root, and said while eating: "Yes, this is the taste!" It's really heaven and soul go on and on. ”
"Minghua, this ...... Is it toxic? Don't be careless. Lan'er saw that Liu Minghua was a little carried away with happiness, so she quickly reminded her. After all, Liu Minghua is too important to her and the whole team now.
Liu Minghua said with a smile: "It's okay, this is not only not poisonous, but also a big supplement!" You eat a little and try it, it's very sweet! ”
After Liu Minghua finished speaking, he handed the snow-white tree root in his hand to Lan'er.
Lan'er took a small bite. Next, her eyes grew brighter as she chewed.
In the end, Lan'er was surprised: "I can't imagine it, this thing tastes so good......"
Le'er was in a hurry, she also bit the root of the tree, and then kept nodding and saying that it was delicious.
Lan'er couldn't help but ask, "Minghua, what is this?" ”
Liu Minghua pointed to a piece of plant in front of him and said, "This is called: Yam!" When I passed by here the other day, I thought these plants were a little familiar. After being reminded by Le'er just now, I suddenly remembered that this seems to be a yam! Well, yam can be used as a medicinal herb and it tastes good. ”
"Yam? A medicinal herb? Can it be used as a staple food? "Lan'er is now the same as Liu Minghua, and what she cares about most is food.
Liu Minghua confirmed: "It can be used as a staple food." This yam can be eaten by both people and war horses! Not only can it be eaten, but this thing is a great supplement, and it will definitely eat a strong horse! Now with this yam, not only will we not starve, but the overall combat effectiveness of the team will also increase, and we can increase the grasp of breakthrough by 30%! You say, "God has given us such good food, why am I not happy?" ”
"Ah, everyone can eat? That's great! Lan'er also cheered. She knew where she was and how important these yams would be to everyone.
Liu Minghua pointed to the front and said with a smile: "This area is not large, I don't know how many yams can be dug out, and I don't know how long it can be eaten by everyone." In this way, these yams are confidential, and we have to dig them ourselves, so as not to alarm others. ”
Lan Er smiled and said, "Naturally, we did it ourselves. This is life-saving food, and it will only work at the critical moment! ”
Liu Minghua waved his hand and said, "It's not so mysterious. Let's store these yams first, and give everyone a surprise after the food is gone, which can stimulate the morale of the army and break through in one go! ”
Lan Er said with a smile: "At that time, wouldn't you, the 'Son of God' from the sky, be even more famous? ”
Liu Minghua helplessly explained: "Lan'er, I don't want to sell my reputation, I really want to be for the sake of the military." These things can't be known to everyone in advance, if everyone knows that there is something to eat, many people will not want to break through, then we will definitely perish!
People are not motivated without pressure! When there is no food, everyone will try to escape. Because if you don't break through, everyone will starve to death! Therefore, now this yam must be kept secret in every way! ”
"Minghua, you really have no last resort!" Lan'er really admires Liu Minghua now. If there is no Liu Minghua, this team is now needless to say that the soldiers are strong and strong, I am afraid that they will soon die of thirst and starvation!
"What do I have to admire? This is a psychological problem of people. I'll teach you psychology when I have time. Now, let's start digging yams! After Liu Minghua finished speaking, he took action.
There was naturally no shortage of metal digging tools in the barracks, Liu Minghua personally excavated, Lan'er was responsible for packaging, and then several soldiers were responsible for moving the yam back to the cave for storage.
The soldiers saw Liu Minghua digging the roots of the tree, and they didn't know what Liu Minghua was going to do.
Liu Minghua is now in very good shape, after a day of excavation, the yams on the cliff have basically been dug up.
Liu Minghua simply calculated that these yams could make hundreds of people eat for ten days and half a month. In other words, the current food problem has basically been solved.
That night, in addition to the staple food, everyone also found a large pot of milky soup?
Liu Minghua told everyone that this is a great tonic, called yam, no less than immortal medicine!
So the big guy drank the soup in one go! Many fighters immediately said that this was really good, because now their waists no longer hurt, their legs are not sore, and they can only go to the top of the mountain......
Liu Minghua laughed and scolded a few poor-mouthed guys, and then asked them to increase the amount of exercise at night.
In the evening, the training subject is - shouting slogans!
It's confusing. Could it be that Liu Minghua is ready to take hundreds of people and shout slogans to break through openly? It can't be so awesome, right?
