Chapter 287: Tempting Each Other
Lin Zhan has a good appearance and a sincere attitude. is also a rich boy who grew up delicately, and his words did not arouse the alarm of others.
Xiyan and Xidi were at war, such a person who should not have appeared near the battlefield, but suddenly appeared here, Qin Xiang was a little suspicious. But Lin Zhan's words dispelled her thoughts.
Although she had never dealt with these noble children, she had heard Chen Wuliu complain. said that this group of gentlemen is just a mess. Every day is changing the law to pass the time, and it is not strange to do anything strange.
No, a few years ago, several children in the capital had to call each other's father if they lost a bet. Later, his own father knew about it, and he directly beat people and cried wolf. However, this is just an afterthought. Qin Xiang thought of this, and compared Lin Zhan's approach, he didn't feel strange.
Look, it's a rich idler. Fighting on the front line really doesn't have much impact on these nobles. Even if the country is broken, there are many people who indulge in singing. What's more, it's just angry with my family and running out to catch a deer or something.
"Gancheng is not far from the camp of Xidi, and the son is really bold." Chen Wuliu shook his head, obviously very incomprehensible to Lin Zhan's behavior of taking the initiative to send him to death.
Lin Zhan smiled bitterly: "At that time, I was thinking about being angry with my family, so why didn't I think so much. We came all the way from Yongzhou, and we didn't stop for a moment on the road, and went directly to this mountain. ”
"Childe is from Yongzhou?" Qin Xiang asked tentatively.
Lin Zhan secretly felt funny, but his face was simple and sincere, "I grew up in Yongzhou since I was a child. ”
Qin Xiang glanced at him and said with a smile: "That son must have worked very hard all the way, Yongzhou is not close to Gancheng." ”
"Not really." Lin Zhan nodded seriously, "But who made Yongzhou don't know what's going on recently, the prey in the mountains seems to have disappeared, and they can't be caught." I didn't want to go home, so I simply came to Gancheng. ”
Qin Xiang's face was slightly red, and even Chen Wuliu's face was a little unnatural.
At the beginning, in order to solve the food problem for the Huwei army, they sent many people to hunt in the mountains and forests near Yongzhou City. On those mountains, except for some large beasts, the other prey was almost caught, and not even a rabbit was spared.
The prey that was brought back was made into jerky, or directly made into meat sauce, and sent to the front line, which not only comforted the stomach bags of the soldiers, but also met their nutritional needs.
At this time, there is no way to open up sources and reduce expenditure, and there is no matter how to maintain ecological balance. Qin Xiang also knew that what he had done was wrong, and the consequences of this wanton 'plundering' of resources were incalculable.
However, compared to the soldiers on the front line who had enough to eat, just catching all the beasts in the mountains was already a trivial matter for Qin Xiang.
To put it bluntly, there are countless prey in the mountains, and with the traps they set to catch, they can't catch them all.
Although this is the case, there is still a sense of embarrassment of stealing other people's money when it is said bluntly.
Qin Xiang coughed lightly, as if this incident had not happened, but the gaze that looked at Lin Zhan was no longer precautionary.
Because Lin Zhan injured his leg, Qin Xiang and his party took a short break and buried themselves in the pot to cook.
As a wounded man, Lin Zhan held his cheeks and watched.
I saw that they were boiling hot water, throwing strange cubes into it, and some spices that they couldn't name, and some people were throwing eggs into it that they had just found nearby. But the strange thing is that as the cubes melt in the water, they become noodles one by one, and the aroma is overflowing, which is actually an aroma that he has never felt.
"This is ......" Lin Zhan held the bowl and looked at the 'noodles' with a look of surprise. Is this a characteristic of Gancheng? ”
Qin Xiang smiled and explained: "This is called instant noodles, which can barely be regarded as a characteristic of Gancheng, and it can also be said to be a characteristic of Xiyan. ”
Lin Zhanzheng said: "Miss, don't fool me, although I grew up in Yongzhou, I have also been to the capital." Not to mention the capital, I have never seen this kind of instant noodles in the entire Xiyan. ”
Qin Xiang was amused by his serious expression, and hurriedly said, "I feel surprised now, but I won't be in the future." If you go to the capital now, you might be able to see instant noodles. ”
The method of instant noodles is not that complicated, Qin Xiang has already asked Qingmiao to find a factory to process it. Compared with the form of their small family workshop, factory-style production has become faster.
The last time I received the letter, I also said that the old craftsman had made a machine for pressing dough.
Qin Xiang also didn't know if this dough sheeter was the glutinous bed she had used before.
The processed instant noodles are mainly supplied to the Huwei Army and other armies, and the rest will go to the people.
Xiyan and Sidi were at war, and the merchants did not dare to run around at will, and almost all of their business activities were carried out in their own countries. However, the delicious and portable instant noodles still won everyone's favor.
In addition to instant noodles, there are also somen noodles and instant noodles that are launched together.
Qin Xiang hadn't returned to Fucheng for a long time, and he didn't know that several other factories were okay. Helplessly, everyone is like saying yes, reporting good news but not bad news.
Lin Zhan saw that Qin Xiang's eyes were distracted, and he no longer knew where he was going, so he lowered his head and ate noodles.
This noodle is slippery and chewy, and it is not a few points worse than freshly made noodles. In particular, there is a deep-fried aroma, and when eaten with meat sauce, the taste is really charming.
And according to her, this kind of noodles can be stored and easy to carry.
Just now, Chen Wu or six people took out the dough cake from the blanket they carried, although it was a little crushed, but it didn't have much impact.
It must be known that on the way, most of them use bread and cold water as things to fill their stomachs.
It's not that the merchants don't want to eat a good meal, but that there are many dangers along the way. It may be the effort of eating, and the goods escorted may be hijacked. In this case, dry biscuits that can quickly fill the stomach become the first choice.
"This instant noodle is really convenient, but if there is no hot water on the road, it will be troublesome."
Before Qin Xiang could answer, Xiaoyu hurriedly said, "You can eat it without hot water, just chew it." Although it is a little dry, I don't know how many times better it tastes than the dough cake. ”
Lin Zhan cheekily asked for a little and tasted it, and it was really crispy and salty.
If such a good thing is sold to Sidi, it will definitely make a small profit. It's a pity that there is a war now, and no matter how much you don't want to die, you won't risk this deal.
Lin Zhan put down his hand with some regret, it seemed that he had to hurry up and deal with his good fourth brother.
At this moment, Lin Pei, the fourth prince who was far away in Xidi's camp, shuddered.
He hurriedly looked around, and in addition to him in the camp, there was only Zhao Junshi with a vegetable-looking face.
"It's weird...... he just felt a chill, as if he was being targeted by some beast, and he felt uncomfortable all over.
Zhao Junshi drooped his eyelids and said sickly: "Has Your Highness thought about it?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that if we can't catch anyone again, let the two of us go to the labor army. ”
The fourth prince gave him a blank look and snorted coldly: "Do you believe this?" Having said that, the tone is a bit empty.
Zhao Junshi snorted lightly, and at a glance he could see that he was pretending to be calm. "If Your Highness doesn't believe it, why is your face white? Don't say it's cold, it's freezing. ”
The fourth prince's face stiffened, and he glared at Zhao Junshi fiercely, "Just your long mouth!" ”
After that, he spread it on the couch, not wanting to pay attention to Zhao Junshi.
Whoever asked Zhao Junshi to say it right, isn't he just ...... I believe it. As for his second brother, who was reincarnated with a suspicious heart, full of bad water and an iron head, he believes everything he does!
If you want to let them work in the army, the fourth prince has no doubt that he and Zhao Junshi's pants don't want to wear back that night.
At the thought of that picture, he shuddered, and something was wrong with his whole body.
"Don't spread it out, why don't you come over and think of countermeasures with me!"
The fourth prince was trembling, worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be unfavorable to him, so that his innocence would not be guaranteed. And the prince himself talked about the wind and snow with others, although he hurt his leg, he was also very comfortable.
"It turns out that Miss is here to find a tree that can be dyed, I wonder if I can take a look at the drawing paper." Lin Zhan said with a shy face: "I won't tell you, our group came up the mountain early in the morning, and we may have met it." ”
However, a piece of drawing paper, of course Qin Xiang would not be guarded, and handed it directly to Lin Zhan.
"Look."
When Lin Zhan saw it, he was first surprised that the painting was so detailed. Even the delicate leaves are vividly displayed, and as long as this painting is there, it must be recognizable at a glance.
But immediately, his brows furrowed, and he said with some hesitation: "I have seen a forest of trees growing in a forest that is somewhat similar to the one in the painting, but it is very different. ”
"Really?" When Qin Xiang heard this, his eyes lit up. "This painting was made by me according to the dictation of others, and it was not very detailed. Those who have seen the tree will not remember it exactly. It's great that Childe has seen similar trees. Maybe the tree that Childe has seen is the tree I'm looking for. ”
When Lin Zhan heard this, a hint of surprise appeared on his face at the right time, "If that's the case, then it's really great." Without further ado, I'll take Miss with me. ”
Chen Wuliu frowned when he saw the two of them coming and going, and couldn't help but say to the people around him: "Don't you think this little white face is uneasy and kind." ”
Zhao Jie was burying his head in gnawing on the jerky, and said without raising his head when he heard the words: "Boss, I know that you dislike useless scholars." But reading people is very useful, you can't look at people's whiteness, just be jealous. ”
Chen Wuliu's face twitched, and he said angrily: "Who is jealous!" ”
"If you're not jealous, what kind of skin cream do you buy?"
was exposed, Rao is Chen Wuliu also blushed, but he left Lin Zhan's matter behind.
After enough rest, everyone got back on the road.
Lin Zhan injured his leg, and Chen Wuliu carried him on his back.
"I came here in a panic, I don't remember very well, there may be a mistake."
Qin Xiang is not surprised, it is already her luck to meet someone who has seen this kind of tree.
"If you can't find it, you can only blame me for my bad luck, and how can I blame Childe. If we hadn't met Childe, we would still be running around like headless flies. ”
Lin Zhan smiled shyly and leaned back on Chen Wuliu's back, but the smile on his face did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
This woman named Qin Xiang is very eccentric, she is making instant noodles, and she is looking for trees that can be dyed. Her subordinates investigated very clearly, and the food she made was sent to Gancheng. The people of Gancheng have fled a long time ago, so it is self-evident who these grains are provided for.
Qin Xiang must have a connection with the Xiyan Imperial Court, but he doesn't know what her identity is.
