Chapter 108: Encampment
The group of them walked smoothly for two months, and now it is June, and there are still two months to go.
The place where they are now is still far away from the provincial capital, but if they walk at their previous pace, they can still go to the provincial capital to take the test two days before the start of the autumn season, so the group is not in a hurry.
They also traveled a lot of places along the way, from large cities to small villages, and they also encountered many things that they could understand and could not understand.
On this day, in the evening, they also did not meet villages and towns where they could spend the night and rest, and they were very familiar and experienced with such situations along the way.
They found a suitable place to sleep in an orderly manner and stopped to prepare for tonight's camp, and then found a place to bury the pot and cook.
The things she had prepared for him along the way were basically gone, and there should have been some dried meat and vegetables left.
This is because although they spend a short time in the wild or eating in the wild along the way, they can pick a lot of wild vegetables because of the season, so dried vegetables and the like are rarely used.
Speaking of picking wild vegetables, although there are three people in their group who are all young masters, but when they traveled together before, they also taught them because of curiosity, although it is not comprehensive, but they also know some.
In addition, the guards they brought this time were not very good in the previous family conditions, so it is not a problem to know wild vegetables and mushrooms.
Not to mention wild vegetables, because the people they brought this time are all guards except for Shumo, and their kung fu is very good, and when they sleep on the road and have a picnic, they can sometimes catch some wild things to add to the meal.
When they encounter the village chief Zhuang Town, they don't use these things anyway, so there are still some leftovers of these things at present.
As for the rice and noodles and the like, they were basically gone, and they added them twice on the way.
The other is the seasoning, because there is not much left, they have recently added some in case they need it.
Today's cooking was made by Chen Jun's guards at the beginning, but because after a few of them ate it, they felt that the taste was really not good, so he made it.
Because Zhou Yi and the others have eaten his craftsmanship before, although it is not as delicious as the food in the restaurant and not as delicious as the food made at home, it is much better than the food made by several of them.
So, in the end, it's up to him to cook.
Shumo wanted to help, but his skills weren't very good, so in the end he had to help him.
Later, he slowly learned to make it a few times along the way, because of his hard work, his craftsmanship gradually improved later, and there were even a few times that it was better than Li Bokang's cooking.
So later, the work of the group of cooks was handed over to Shumo, and Li Bokang officially retired.
Chen Jun and the guards they brought were a little embarrassed to see such a result, although their master didn't say anything.
But they also know that the relationship between the sons is very good, and they have been safe all the way, so they are useless.
The most important thing is that at the beginning, they still looked down on Shumo, thinking that he was just an ordinary guy, and he didn't know as much as theirs, but now his existence is obviously much more important than them.
So later, several guards have been working hard to do something for everyone, and the result is obvious, that is, when they later slept on a picnic, as long as there are conditions, their food is obviously much better than before.
This condition does not mean to buy, but to say that when they encounter mountains or wherever they can hunt, they will try their best to catch something and come back to eat.
There is also a small episode that several guards later showed their barbecue skills, and they were quite happy at first, and their master was also quite happy.
It's just that later, because the weather is already summer, it's not good to eat too much barbecue, and it's easy to catch fire.
So in the end, they basically didn't use this skill much, except for the occasional time when they hunted too much before they roasted it.
Today, as before, after they set up camp, Li Bokang took Shumo to find a place to dig a small pit, and found a few stones to make a simple stove.
And Chen Jun and Zhou Yi took two guards to the mountain next to them to see if they could catch some wild things and come back.
Why are they the two of them, the main reason is that both of them can do some simple kung fu, and they also have experience in hunting, as long as they don't encounter large animals or more dangerous animals, they are safe.
As for Huang Sheng, he took his own guards to find a water source to fetch water.
So far, there are only two people left in the camp, him and Shumo.
Of course, they are not only responsible for building stoves, they also have to find firewood to make fires, and see if there are any tender wild vegetables nearby.
The place where they camped this time was on a wide flat land, and the vegetation was still relatively lush.
There is a mountain not far away, Chen Jun and they went to the mountain to hunt, but because the time was a little late, they didn't necessarily go to that mountain, after all, they had said before that everything was still their own safety, and the mountain at night was not very safe.
He and Shumo made the stove, found the firewood and lit it, and then boiled a pot of water, which was in their water bladder before, and then looked for wild vegetables on the nearby ground.
After Huang Sheng came back with the guards to fetch water, the two of them didn't find much, so they just looked like a handful.
In fact, there are a lot of wild vegetables, but many of them are already old, so they only find a little tender.
Later, he saw that the wild vegetables he was looking for were really a little short, not enough for the two of them to eat, so he asked Shumo to take out some dried vegetables from the car and soak them in the water they had boiled before for a while to cook and eat.
Huang Sheng: They came back with a lot of water, and the four water bladders were full, so they didn't have to worry about not having enough water.
And he also heard from them that the place where the water source was not very far from the place where they camped, even if they didn't have enough water, they could go and fetch it back.
He scooped some of the water out of the pot and dried the kimchi and started to cook tonight's dinner, because Chen Jun and the others hadn't come back yet, so he didn't know if they had caught wild animals, so he thought about it and was still going to make rice.
After a while, see if they hit the prey, and then cook according to the situation.
Li Bokang didn't care about cooking the rice anymore, and left everything to Shumo to do, anyway, there is nothing to do now.
He followed Huang Sheng while waiting for Zhou Yi and them to come back, they hadn't come back for a long time, and the meal had been ready for a while.
He and Huang Sheng were both a little anxious, and were about to go to find them when they saw that they had returned, and they had brought back several prey.
