According to Li Yao's original memory, as long as he found the snow-capped mountain lake, then bypassed the snow-capped mountain, and walked along the river to the east, walking for about two or three hours, he could almost come to the bottom of the cliff full of miasma!

As long as you descend the cliff, you can walk for a day to get to Beishan Village.

After an afternoon of walking, everyone finally came to Snow Mountain Lake, and after a day's journey, everyone was a little exhausted, Li Yao said: "Grandpa, let's find a dry place to rest!" There are a lot of fish in this lake, so I'm going to let you see my skills at grilling fish today! ”

The tent still has to be erected, although it is necessary to make a fire all night, but the wind blowing at night is still very cold, and the body will not be able to stand it without anything to block the wind!

The guards caught fish and set up tents, and Li Yao came to the craftsman king and said, "Grandpa, let's come all the way, how long do you estimate it will take to blow up this road?" ”

The craftsman thought for a while and said, "It will take at least half a month, and I will work in three shifts, day and night!" ”

By the way, grandpa, our Yixian city wall can also be equipped with Ouyang cannons, but don't usually take it out, take it out when you really use it!

King Craftsman looked at Li Yao and asked: "Yi County is our territory, and it is located in the country of Qi, basically there will be no war, what are you doing with these firearms, it is a waste if you don't use them, it is better to give them all to you, and the effect will be greater!" ”

Li Yao smiled and said, "Grandpa, no matter what time we have to be prepared, although it is said that Yi County is inside the Qi country and will not face the invasion from foreign enemies." But that doesn't mean there won't be enemies! ”

The craftsman king was shocked in his heart and said, "I'll go back and arrange it immediately." Definitely equip Yixian County into an iron wall! ”

Li Yao nodded and said, "Grandpa." You also know that Yi County is our foundation, 300,000 people of Yi County, nearly one million Tuntian Army, if Yi County is well run, it will definitely not be worse than any country, so we must protect this place well! ”

The King of Craftsmen said slowly: "If anyone dares to invade Yi County, I will let them know the power of Ouyang Cannon and Flying Thunder Cannon!" ”

Li Yao also did this just in case, no matter what happened on the front line. Your own rear must not be messed up, as long as the foundation of your rear is still there, then you will not fail!

The guards set up their tents, lit a bonfire, and brought the cleaned fish, which Li Yao broke open, flattened the fish with branches, and roasted them next to the fire!

Li Yao said to the craftsman king: "Grandpa, wait a while, we can eat grilled fish." I'll also show you my craft, this fish must be boiled open, slowly blanched over a fire, and then only need to be lightly salted. That's it, so that the fish that is slowly scalded at the temperature is particularly crispy on the outside. And it won't scorch, albeit a little slower. But it tastes absolutely good! ”

King Craftsman smiled: "I didn't expect to be so particular about grilling fish, you are really talented!" ”

Li Yao smiled: "Grandpa." You praised it, it turned out that when there was nothing to do in the country, I loved to bake and eat, and I would come and go! ”

It didn't take long for Li Yao to take a salt bowl and rub some salt and sprinkle it, then picked up a fish and handed it to the craftsman king, saying, "Grandpa, come and try my craft!" ”

The craftsman took the grilled fish, took a bite, and praised: "It tastes really good!" ”

Li Yao said to the guards, "Is the scallion cake paste burned?" ”

The guard nodded and said, "It's already burned, I'll bring it to you right away!" ”

Li Yao took a bowl of green onion cake paste from the guards and said, "Grandpa, come and taste this paste, although it is a food that cannot be put on the table, it is really anti-hunger!" ”

The craftsman took it and tasted it and said: "Well, it's very good, I see that this paste still has green onions and oily salt in it, and after drinking a sip of hot paste on such a cold day, my whole body is really warm!" ”

Li Yao also took a sip and said with a smile: "Grandpa, this paste will be the military food of our army in the future, of course, this is temporarily filled with hunger during the war, and it is normal to eat steamed buns and vegetables!" ”

The craftsman asked: "But there is oil and salt in it, is it a bit of a luxury to be a military ration, I know you want to be better to the soldiers, but we don't have much money now, you have to think carefully!" ”

Li Yao said with a smile: "I can produce my own oil and salt, it doesn't cost anything, at most I can eat vegetables cooked in oil in the army in a month!" ”

The craftsman king exclaimed: "Can oil and salt be produced by themselves? Is this true? Can a soldier really eat food cooked in oil? ”

Li Yao nodded and said, "Grandpa, I'm telling the truth, just let Changzhu take you to the oil mill when you go back!" ”

The craftsman king laughed and said, "Yao'er, you are really too talented, you can make the soldiers eat food with oil in one meal, and you are enough to be counted in the annals of history!" ”

Li Yao said with a smile: "Grandpa, in fact, it's nothing, the soldiers can only better go to the battlefield to fight when they are full and strong, they all say that being a soldier is to eat food, only if they are well fed and full, can they win the battle!" ”

The craftsman nodded, and said: "Yao'er, what you said makes sense, it turns out that I also spent time in the army, that is, a blacksmith with the army, at that time I was only thirteen or fourteen years old, I can pick up thirty catties of hammer, I still remember that at that time I only had two cold steamed buns a day, and a bowl of batter soup, at that time it was the time to grow the body, that little thing was not enough to eat, at night, I was really hungry, so I went out to dig wild vegetables and cook them, not to mention oil and water, even eating a full meal is a luxury, and then my army was defeated, and I also left the army." , came out to make a living on his own. I have experienced what it is like to be a soldier, and it would be a great blessing if a soldier could eat a meal with oil and water! ”

Li Yao listened to what the craftsman king said and asked, "If you can't even eat enough to eat as a soldier, will anyone still give him his life!" ”

King Craftsman smiled: "The officials eat more oil and water than the other, but the soldiers at the grassroots level can't even eat their stomachs, and sometimes they have to eat bran rice, do you know that kind of bran rice?" Made of rice shells, your throat can get stuck and bleed when you eat it, and your stomach hurts every time you eat it, and that time is really unbearable! ”

Li Yao was silent for a moment and said, "If I meet such an officer in my army, I will definitely crush him to death with food!" Let's see who will dare to be greedy for food in the future! ”

King Craftsman nodded, and said: "I probably know everything about our team, basically they are all farmers, they are used to hardships, there is no kind of aristocratic style, and they are still not bad in terms of style!" ”

Li Yao also nodded and said: "Yes, although they are all from poor backgrounds, their talents are also relatively weak, I dare to say that there are very few officers in our army who can read and write, even if they are above the division level!" ”

The craftsman king also smiled bitterly: "This is a problem, it seems that our team still has a lot of shortcomings!" ”

Li Yao nodded and said, "I plan to start cultivating talents in an all-round way after the situation stabilizes a little, and I am also going to run a school so that all children can go to school, so that we can maximize the cultivation of talents!" ”

The craftsman nodded, the idea is very good, but that is a matter for the future, let's eat fish and drink porridge first!

Li Yao smiled: "Well, grandpa, you eat more!" ”
