Chapter 696: Careful Preparation

At the same time, that is, when Camellia thought of the regret and directly pumped herself into a big pocket.

At most two hundred meters away from the two of them, in the small square at the entrance of the palace, it had already turned into a sea of joy.

Yes, that's right! It is a sea of joy full of laughter in the cold white-haired wind.

After the cattle and sheep were pulled here from the cattle pens that originally belonged to the Tibetan people, after the Hu people went down with a knife, the large blood vessels on the necks were accurately cut.

At the moment when they drew their knives, the blood of cattle and sheep, which was still hot, spurted out from the edge of the knife.

The sturdy women were already carrying wooden pots with their hands and feet; All the blood of the cattle and sheep was accurately received into the basin, and there was no waste at all.

And just a little behind them, there are more people who use dexterous techniques, wielding short knives with handles, disemboweling, skinning, and deboning the cattle and sheep that have been cleaned of blood.

Eventually, in an assembly-line-like process.

The cattle and sheep that were pulled out of the barn were turned into strips of beef and mutton that were three fingers wide and the length of an adult's small arm.

A number of women turned them vigorously and sprinkled them with a lot of salt and spices, and after a little research.

It is under the command of Fenghuahui and Barong.

Loaded in large vats, the two of them carried together towards a row of low houses on the side.

In such a process, there are constantly adult Hu men and women, and even little cubs, taking a big sip of the blood of cattle and sheep that is still warm.

After looking at the more and more water and skins piled up on the side, his eyes were full of joy.

I couldn't see it at all, just the night before, they had closed the door and watched a bloody massacre in silence.

And the managers above the head have changed another group of people.

The reason for this was that in the previous meeting of the team, there was no argument at all, and everyone just reached a little consensus:

The team had too many rice buckets, and on the way back to Chang'an, too much food was needed.

If you carry fresh beef and mutton, as well as flour and millet noodles, God knows how much you need to bring to meet the needs of the rice buckets.

Therefore, it is easy to carry, beef and mutton jerky with high calories, as well as milk powder, which have become their best choice at present.

So at the end of the meeting, Fenghua and Barong took over the matter of making beef and mutton jerky.

Now it's time to get to work hard to implement such a thing.

Even if there is no natural drying of the sun at present, it is nothing more than using cow dung cakes, which are the classic fuels of the Hu people, and they can be smoked in the house.

As for the time to eat it, these beef and mutton jerky may taste some cow dung.

Barong and Fenghuahui both agreed that in the cold and snowy situation, being able to eat and replenish calories is the most important thing.

The smell of cow dung is just a little bit of an important thing.

As for the Hu people in front of them, it was just that after they promised all kinds of sewerage, bones, and skins as a reward for help, they asked people to find one or two hundred Hu people to help.

It turned out to be a short time, and a lot of them popped up all at once.

There are both adults and children, and I'm afraid that there will be more than a thousand people.

Saying! For these Hu people who originally lived in the wilderness and migrated in for only a month or two to replenish the population of Shangqizi City.

As long as they can get more food to wrap their stomachs in the current cold winter, everything else is not important.

Therefore, it is important to pay attention to such an opportunity to work.

Seeing this, thinking about the number of cattle and sheep seized in the hands of the Tubo people, these days of going into the water are simply inexhaustible Hu Biao.

As if they were coming, they hired all the adult Hu people.

The school is only a small part of it; Some of the others were assigned to the rest of the team according to their skills, and they were busy with other preparations.

And the Hu people who stayed here in the school field, their hard work,

even made the two of them a little moved......

An hour later, when Fenghua will take out a beef jerky that has been smoked and roasted at a temperature of about 80 degrees, and bite it into his mouth.

He said to Barong: "It is said that in cold weather, the human body sweats more.

Therefore, the taste of this batch of beef and mutton jerky seems to be too light, and it is necessary to increase the salted salt again. ”

After hearing this, Barong nodded decisively, but the beef jerky in his hand did not mean to put it in his mouth and taste it at all.

Unable! The smell of cow dung is too strong, I'm afraid only the third brother will like this taste.

*****

Away from Fenghuahui and Barong, and farther away from the livestock shed, Ah Li and Huang Yizhi were also yawning while busy with their own things.

Ah Li's words, one after another, carefully checked the health of the war horses.

Gradually, I checked many parts such as teeth, hair, and buttocks, and I didn't relax even some details.

Even before this, these war horses had been sent to her after being inspected once in advance.

No way! In the following time.

They will need to travel tens of thousands of miles in a bitterly cold environment; If the health of the war horse is not good, and something goes wrong on the way, it is simply a huge disaster.

Even Ah Li is ready, go back later and let Lao Tie process a horseshoe out.

Because in such a year, the horseshoe has not yet become popular in the Western Regions.

Huang Yizhi's words were to bring a group of women who washed their hands as much as possible, and used a mill to crush some walnuts and other dried fruits into a powder state.

These dried fruit powders are intended to be added to milk powder.

It is considered a killer feature for the team to supplement calories in addition to jerky along the way; Whether it's brewing a cup with hot water or stuffing it into your mouth in a hurry, the effect is definitely quite good.

That's right! You can also add some sheep fat to it,

At that time, that smell may not be very accustomed to most personnel; But you can't afford to have more calories and be more hungry.

In fact, in addition to beef and mutton jerky and milk powder, the team originally planned to make some cut cakes, that is, maren.

Not to mention the question of what the reputation of that thing is in the modern plane; But I have to admit that this thing is really a heat bomb.

It's a pity that they only thought about it a little, and they found that there was no sugar at all, and this extremely ordinary thing in the modern plane could only be abandoned......

By about ten o'clock in the evening, the city was already filled with the rich smell of wine.

It was the watchdog and the stone breaker, two half-rookies who had only participated in the mission last time, who were distilling wine over and over again using the soil method.

Their aim was to distill at least all the wine seized from the city into a high degree of more than 60 degrees.

The reason for this is that it is used to protect against the cold along the way.

Even according to modern planes, spirits are not only not good for heating, but are extremely harmful.

But that means outside of the tent, if you take a bite when it's quite difficult in the tent, it can still be quite useful.

As for whether the wine can be distilled to more than 60 degrees, there is no problem.

You must know that many of the mainstream brandies in the West are distilled from grapes; It is said that the highest alcohol content of that thing can reach more than 70 degrees.

In order to achieve this purpose, they have started distilling three times so far.

When the liquor was distilled for the third time, Shi Poyu, a great sweater in the Northeast, took a small half cup and poured it all into his stomach with a sound of 'Gu Dong ~'.

After smacking his mouth, he cursed and shouted:

"It's only forty degrees in the sky, and it's not fun at all; I'm afraid that it will take more than five distillations in total to meet Hu Biao's requirements for a dead street. ”

"That's five times, anyway, this thing is half a warehouse~" The watchdog replied easily.

In a room in the palace, AT and Yang Dongli were looking at a pile of extremely abstract maps in front of them, planning their route back.

In short, Hu Biao gave them only one requirement: short distance and safety.

But for such a request, the two almost didn't make themselves bald.

In a hall next to them, the concubine was directing Rylaika and the other orchids, processing thick furs and thickened tents.

Truly! The female worker of the concubine can only be described as 'mediocre'.

But I can't stand this girl, and she's quite professional in aesthetics.

The fur coat processed under her guidance must be warm and handsome, and it is very important to have such a point.

A group of orchids, in the process of quickly threading needles and threads.

There was still a faint sound of 'clanging' in my ears, it was the members of the two equipment teams of Wolf Qing and Lao Tie, who were leading some Hu people blacksmiths to make a batch of iron builds.

These builds will be used in some of the key parts of the snow plow.

That's right! Climbing the plough is the most important means of transportation for Hu Biao and them on the way, at least outside the Yumen Pass.

And when the above people were busy with their own work, the rest of the team was counted as one, and naturally they were not idle.

Like hamsters facing the onset of winter, they prepare as much as they can for everything on the road......
