Fang Xiaoyue's expected return to the pot meat, small fried meat or something, did not appear at all.

This is also helpless, there are now more than 130 people in the valley, but there is only one iron pot, just to cook the broth, you have to boil a few pots to provide everyone with a full meal, where is there an extra iron pot for Fang Xiaoyue to make stir-fry.

But this is not a big problem, when the iron ore is mined, the iron will be smelted, and the iron pot, hoe, sickle, etc. will be what you want.

"Grandpa, here's your broth."

Now it is his eldest son Zhang Ping'an who is in charge.

Fang Xiaoyue brought these wild boars back, and naturally he was the biggest hero, and the first bowl full of pork, nuts and wild vegetable soup was naturally served by his little grandson Zhang Siju.

"It's a little lighter."

Fang Xiaoyue was also hungry at this time, he now needed such a food that contained more nutrients to speed up the integration of his body.

However, after picking up a piece of pork strip with chopsticks and eating it, he still commented with some dissatisfaction.

"Uncle Da Scoop, we're running out of salt."

A villager who was a little related to his family had the courage to reply, no way, the current Zhang Da Scoop is no longer the honest and cunning farmer in the eyes of the villagers.

It's more about the fear of him.

To be able to kill so many cavalry and kill such a large boar is simply beyond the limits of their imagination.

That is to say, there are few literate people here, and if there are a few more commentators, maybe this part of him will be made into a story and start circulating.

"yes, I'll have to get some salt tomorrow."

Fang Xiaoyue felt a little big.

In this ancient period, hiding in the deep mountains and old forests with a group of refugees encountered too many troubles and problems.

To tell the truth, in addition to salt, there is a lack of quilts and cotton clothes for the winter, as well as medicines, doctors, and so on.

In short, it is not so easy to leave your homeland.

After a few days of good days of meat, Fang Xiaoyue arranged for some people to follow Ding Sheng's life to dig iron ore and coal, and he set off with a few people as usual, preparing to buy some salt, quilts, cotton clothes and other scarce substances.

As for what to do if you don't have money?

I can only take one step at a time, and if I can't do it, I will take out my old business, carve something and sell it.

But when they cautiously approached the county seat, they found that the Northern Moon Cavalry, who was supposed to start evacuating during this time, had not left.

However, at this time, the Beiyue cavalry did not guard the county so strictly, and some caravans from other places even frequently appeared outside the city, and after paying taxes and fees to the Beiyue cavalry, they even set up stalls outside the city gate to sell.

Looking at this scene, Fang Xiaoyue doubted that these Northern Moon Cavalry would not leave.

After some further inquiry, it was indeed so!

An army sent by Pinggui to meet the enemy was attacked by the Beiyue cavalry and wiped out the entire army, leaving only the commander to flee back in embarrassment.

In this way, it stimulated the general of the Northern Moon Cavalry, and the general was ready to occupy this place permanently.

The country is weak and weak, that's it, I originally planned to get a vote and leave, after all, the strength of a country is not something that these two thousand Beiyue cavalry can compete with, but after the first battle, the five thousand army was defeated by the cavalry.

Seeing that Ping Guiguo was so weak, General Beiyue naturally had new ideas.

However, the Beiyue cavalry was entrenched, which also gave Fang Xiaoyue a chance.

If the Northern Moon Cavalry left like this, then where would he go to find free food and materials?

It's impossible to really go up to the mountains to be a bandit, to rob a house.

In the next month, Fang Xiaoyue led his people to attack the Beiyue cavalry seven times, including three times for the grain team and four times for the cavalry garrisons stationed in various towns and towns, and seized a large amount of grain, salt, etc.

Although every sneak attack was launched by Fang Xiaoyue, Zhang Ping'an and the others who followed him also really got actual combat training.

Especially when Fang Xiaoyue killed only one or two cavalrymen, they also dared to carry their knives and go up to besiege.

Not to mention the results of the battle, the courage has been exercised a lot.

The most important thing is that more than 300 displaced people have been brought back, including four doctors.

There is a doctor in Taoyuan Valley, which is undoubtedly reassuring.

No matter what time you have food, you can see a doctor, which is a good means to stabilize people's hearts.

After pulling back a large amount of substances, Fang Xiaoyue led people to search and kill around Taoyuan Valley, wild boars, leopards, tigers, poisonous snakes, etc., all of them were hunted and killed.

In addition to hoarding meat, this is also to ensure the safety of the people in the valley.

No, in the eyes of those beasts, humans seem to be a sweet and delicious piece of walking meat.

Time passed like a shuttle, and in a blink of an eye, the first heavy snow in the real sense of Subei County fell one after another.

Compared to the strange snow before, this snow covers almost everything as far as the eye can see.

Under the heavy snowfall, the wind in the Howling Wind Valley turned into a white-haired wind, completely blocking the connection between the 100,000 mountains and the outside world.

This also made Fang Xiaoyue breathe a sigh of relief.

The reason is very simple, he has attacked the Northern Moon Cavalry repeatedly before, which must have angered him.

And if the Beiyue cavalry wants to permanently occupy this Subei County, it will inevitably launch a public security war to completely sweep away the unstable factors in the local area.

Under such circumstances, the situation of Taoyuan Valley is actually very dangerous.

Although Fang Xiaoyue had already drawn a large number of young people from the villagers as much as possible to practice swordsmanship.

But there are only so many people here, and the weapons are only captured, and it is really difficult to resist the large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Beiyue Cavalry.

Now, the heavy snow has closed the mountain, although it has increased the difficulty of transportation, but it has also allowed Taoyuan Valley to devote itself to refining coke, iron, and building weapons with peace of mind.

Coke is a high-tech product in this plane.

Ding Shengming first mixed magnetite with selected coal and fired it, and then reduced it at high temperature to smelt raw iron.

Of course, this pig iron is relatively rough, much worse than the strip steel in the real society, and it is not too qualified to make agricultural tools such as sickles and so on.

But now the conditions are like this, and it can only be like this.

After the pig iron is refined, it is made into a thin iron sheet, made into a boiler with a diameter of more than 1.5 meters, and then the coal is put into the boiler, the boiler above tumbles, and the bottom is calcined at high temperature, and then coke is smelted.

With coke, Fang Xiaoyue took Qingzhuang to burn kaolin to make refractory bricks, and then used refractory bricks to build a small blast furnace.

Looking at the small blast furnace that is more than ten meters high, the people in Taoyuan Valley can't help but feel sorry one by one.

Although they didn't know why Fang Xiaoyue wanted to repair this thing, after it was repaired, they felt a little enthusiastic in their hearts.

For the villagers, it was the first time they had built a building of about ten meters.
