Chapter Eighty-Eight: Roasted Naan Bacon
"Then I'll arrange it next, Yingchun is weak, just wait for us here, in addition, I said not to act alone recently, so everyone is still two by two, Bai Lu you are responsible for taking care of it, by the way, pick up some firewood, burn the fire at night for cooking, and try to watch the charcoal fire, I and Yunwen will deal with it in the past, and we will probably come back in the afternoon to finish eating, and finish the work in a few days." I said.
"Okay, then I'll prepare dinner and wait for you, but Brother Zhou Bo, what if you encounter one, wouldn't it be very dangerous? Also, it seems that the stones were piled up by the people of the Dragon Hunter Camp by a special method, and it takes a lot of people, is it enough for the two of you to fill it up? Song Bailu asked.
"Before I came out, I saw that those white-winged moths were all burning one after another, the so-called moths to the fire, this biological phenomenon is inescapable, so I am sure that few of the adults in this batch can survive, even if they can survive, it may be a fluke one or two, encountered, I will kill it, I have figured out its routine, don't be afraid. As for the pile-up thing, I can use our method, as long as the light is blocked, the next batch of moths will not be drawn out by the light from the outside, and it will be fine. I said.
"Well, it's very reasonable, go early and come back early." Bai Lu said.
Then I took Yunwen down the mountain, and really walked a section of the iron ladder, which was covered with rust spots and overgrown with weeds, as if it was the road of an abandoned factory.
Along the iron ladder, I came to the iron gate, I groped around, touched a brake, pulled down, suddenly the door opened, after going out, the door automatically closed, due to a long time not used, the pulley and the like are estimated to touch no oil, whether open or close are extremely slow, with the turtle speed can be basically described, and also make that rattling sound, feel like you have to stop scrapping at any time.
If the gate can be opened and closed, it means that there is still electricity here, otherwise what will be used as the power to push and pull this old broken iron door? If there is electricity, there must be a power supply, but where does electricity come from outside this wilderness? This is too strange to be examined.
However, we have decided to leave here after a while, so we don't want to meddle in these things, and we have no more thoughts than to finish the matter in front of us.
Out of the iron gate, after the door automatically closes, it is a mountain wall, I can't see the truth or falsehood at all, and the outside is the city wall mountain road, I took Yun Wen to go along, walked for a long time, passed the wheat field used for threshing before, and then walked a short distance to the "corpses all over the field" area, here are everywhere the corpses of the meat worms, and there are a lot of birds carefully eating.
Before those birds of prey arrived, they had plenty of opportunities to eat.
Walking past the stone statue holding the soldier, a scorching smell hit the face, and the walls and entrances of the cave were burned black, and a large baking kiln was formed.
"Zhou Bo, look!" Yun Wen pointed to a place in front of her and said excitedly.
I looked in the direction she was pointing, and saw that the barrel for storing grain had not been burned, but had been left behind, and I was immediately overjoyed, which was a great blessing in misfortune.
"I see, fortunately the big barrel was placed near the entrance of the cave, it had been rained before, and there was a meat worm not far in front of it that fully served as a barrier for the flames, so the barrel was not burned, and it was still preserved, and the wheat was all intact." I said.
"Yes, it is also you who have a kind heart, thinking that other people will not suffer from this plague, and specially come to block the entrance to the cave, otherwise we would not know that this wheat is still intact, and everything is good and rewarded." Yun Wen said with a smile.
I smiled at her.
Since the wheat is still intact, I quickly took it out and brought it back, and the first thing I thought of was the wooden oxen and horses that were still at the bottom of the mountain, so I took great pains to push back from the bottom of the mountain along the stone steps.
If it weren't for the active exercise of the body on weekdays, the body could bear it, and I had such endurance, it would be easy to give up halfway when I encountered this kind of work of pushing a unicycle up hundreds of steps, and I was really grateful for the training methods left in the army, and I was glad that I persevered.
With the wooden cow flowing horse, Yun Wen and I transferred all the wheat to the wooden plank trough of the wooden cow flowing horse, but it was only enough to hold half of it, so we sent it back, and it happened that Song Yingchun also repaired it, the last time this guy was knocked down by me, and then there were often some small problems, and I was almost eaten by the Gu eagle because of the delay.
Therefore, it was just right for Yingchun to repair and reuse, and the wheat brought back was packed in the tent, and after two trips, it was almost all transported back, and on the third trip, I took the stone mill out of the cave, dismantled it, put it in the plank trough, and pushed it back.
The stone mill was stained with green slurry, but this thing was not easy to come by, and I still planned to continue to wash and use it, and it was not in vain that I almost lost my life when I took the raw materials.
After Yun Wen and I transported these back, they were all handed over to Bai Lu to clean and so on, and the two of us set off again, this time for the original purpose, to plug the entrance to the cave.
The method is very simple, dig a pit at the entrance of the cave, find a pot of earth that can still be used before the spring greeting from the cave, go up the mountain to take the mountain spring, pour it into the pit, mix the soil and water with mud, and then use the stones that blocked the entrance of the cave before, start a layer of stones, and then smear a layer of soil and mud to build it.
Relying on the adhesion of the soil, the stone is bonded and the gap is fully filled to make it completely sealed.
Yun Wen and I each did one side, and the speed was much faster, probably in the afternoon, most of the hole will be sealed, and the rest will be completed tomorrow, and we don't dare to wait until too late to go back, otherwise it will be dark, and it will be difficult to encounter some big meat worms or something.
Stop.
So we went up the stone steps to the spring to wash our hands and wipe our bodies, and then hurried back, passing a long section of the walled mountain road, reaching the hidden iron gate, opening the gates, and going back to our present camp.
At this time, the smell of baked dough came, and the fragrance of wheat immediately came, which made my taste buds restless, and I kept swallowing saliva.
"Bai Lu, what have you done here? So fragrant? I hurriedly asked.
"My sister has been busy all afternoon, cleaning the stone mill, washing the wheat, drying and grinding flour, and flour and the like, just for the baked naan for this dinner tonight, you have to thank my sister, she is very hard." Song Yingchun said, looking like his spirit was back.
I was about to thank you, but I heard Bai Lu say: "It's all what should be done, Brother Zhou Bo and Sister Yunwen are really hard, they have been running around all afternoon, transporting grain and filling holes, and they are tired for everyone, this is what should be praised, I just got something to eat, it's nothing." ”
"Sister Bai Lu, don't say that, we can all eat a delicious meal when we are tired, it's all thanks to you, Sister Yingchun is right, I really should thank you, right, Zhou Bo." Yun Wen said.
"This roasted naan is not only food, but also brings hope and courage, thank you, thank you, Bailu." I said seriously.
With such hypocritical words, she laughed straight, covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Okay, hurry up and eat, thank you, thank you, it's over." ”
The baked naan is made of a washed flat stone, paved with dough, with a special fragrance, and can also be accompanied by some special ingredients such as sanjiao, star anise, fennel, etc., which is a bit of a finger cake.
When Bai Lu handed me one, it was wrapped in some pickled wild vegetables, and I was eating it fragrantly, when I suddenly felt that something was wrong, and I grabbed it from my mouth, but I unintentionally took out a piece of bacon meat!
