"Captain, we want to eat chicken now, can you conjure it up?" Zhu Fan ate a delicious shrimp oil side dish and made a request.

"There are air-dried chicken, air-dried duck, air-dried goose, ham, and various other canned food in the car, but they have not been taken out, and Your Highness wants to eat it?"

The lieutenant revealed the reserves, at the critical moment, he can't care if others die or not, and the crown prince and the king of Qin must live.

There are so many cars in the convoy, and there are special ones for all kinds of food, so that two people will not lack food.

"No, we have it in our team, so you can leave it alone! We are reluctant to eat it, including saltpeter, which can be used to make ice, and it is very useful to use it in the sand to get water. ”

Zhu Fan shook his head, he didn't want to use those things, the team didn't reach the point of exhaustion, and it never was.

Even if the water for two or three days is going to last for seven days, if you grit your teeth and take out something, you can still hold on.

It's just that the loss is too great, and when it comes to Helin, I don't know how to replenish it, and the overall efficiency is not as good as giving up some horses.

The horses consumed water again, and the water had to be taken in excess of the amount of water consumed by the team.

If you pay a lot of resources, you can only save 10% more water, and how many times will you have to extend the travel time for the extra days? It's all used to get water.

It is still the most convenient to drill wells, and it is more morale-boosting.

Zhu Biao was comfortable and took a break: "Li Chang, does Helin have a coal mine?" ”

After asking, he bowed his head slightly, embarrassed, the mining masters of Daming can point it out, and now ask someone other than Daming.

The chief shook his head, and when Zhu Biao thought that the chief would say that he didn't know, the chief said: "No, but let's go more than a day further, there is a place in the west that is a coal mine, an open-pit mine, and an iron mine is gone."

However, there is good soil, pottery and bricks can be burned, and in addition, the river next to the forest can dig out hot springs, and it is convenient for bathing.

Let's continue to walk forward, we can see the river, there is a mountain in front, the main peak is covered with snow all year round, we can follow the river flowing down the mountain, and we can reach Helin. ”

The lieutenant who has made up the class is powerful again, and he knows everything.

"There's snow on the mountain?" Zhu Biao really didn't understand the situation, and the Northern Yuan occupied it before.

"There is gold in the mountains, and mica, mica is a kind of stone, if it is used to make paper, it can be rolled on the outside of copper wire as an insulator, and it can also be used in steam engines, it is resistant to acid, alkali, and heat. Oh! It is still medicine. ”

The governor said that there are gold and mines on the mountain, and mica ore has many uses, and it is most convenient to make mica paper.

"So, we're going to mine here?" Zhu Biao figured out how to mobilize manpower.

"No, no, there are also in other places, and it's not cost-effective to pick here."

The lieutenant said no, you asked about the things on the mountain, and I just said it.

"Okay, eat first, otherwise it's going to be cold." Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief, there was no need to adjust manpower.

……

In the middle of the night, the keeper brings forage to the camels and horses, adding a little salt to it.

The fence was low, and it only penetrated part of the ground at intervals, and it could not stop horses and camels by itself.

Horses and camels know the situation, and it's been the same all the way, and it's very easy to get out, but what are you going to do?

The fence is an area where people move around.

Some horses were mischievous, jumping out and back after a while.

The fences of wild asses were also brought in, and they were likewise given salt and chopped fodder, as well as water.

They ducked to the side, and when the things were put away and the people left, they immediately came forward to eat.

Then the camel began to sleep, in various postures, depending on the level of tension, some slept standing, some slept on their knees with folded limbs, and some simply lay on their sides.

There is a high proportion of camels sleeping on their sides at the bottom, surrounded by tents, familiar people, and lights.

The same goes for horses, which will only lie on their sides to rest if they are particularly relaxed and secure.

In fact, donkeys can also sleep lying down, all the questions are whether they think it is safe or not.

"I slept so comfortably yesterday, took a hot shower." Zhu Fan cleaned up, came over to eat, and stretched.

Breakfast is still a stinging noodle, deliberately made more last night, anyway, it will not be broken when it is cold, boiling water in the morning, the cauldron on the other side is hot, add some water and boil, and the smelt will be opened.

Therefore, when Zhu Wentian was hot, he added extra starch, and at the same time got up in the morning to add vegetables to Zhu Biao and Zhu Zhang, and the bacon was made yesterday.

The stuffy seeds are all starch, which is used for thickening, and steaming is stuffy, and you can eat whatever you want to eat, and it is no problem to dip vinegar if you like sour.

But soy sauce is better, it's not Mongolia! If you eat dumplings without dipping them in soy sauce, you will be arrested by the yamen and imprisoned, so if you don't eat stuffy, won't you be caught?

"Captain, why do you still have garlic sauce? How do you store raw garlic? Zhu Fan saw the garlic sauce dipped in the stuffy seeds, and couldn't figure it out!

"It used to be stored in an ice box made of saltpeter, but now it's taken out, and it's cold outside.

If you don't store it like that, the garlic will sprout as soon as it is hot, or even rot, and if it is rotten, it will be poisonous.

The ice box is always there, there are two cars in charge, and the key is not garlic, garlic belongs by the way.

There is medicine in it, and I have carried it with us since we set off, and I got some on the way, and I didn't tell His Highness about such things.

Your Highness rest assured, unless it is a meteorite from the sky and a sudden subsidence, under normal circumstances, we have remedies for any accidents. ”

After the chief finished speaking, he took a small piece of stuffy rice and dipped it in garlic sauce, and ate it in his mouth, showing a satisfied look.

"What medicine needs to be chilled all the time? Why haven't we heard of it? Borneol? No, ice chips are not ice. ”

Zhu Fan has a strong desire to learn, so he doesn't understand that ice must be used for medicine.

"Your Highness, don't ask, anyway, we don't want Your Highness to use it at the moment, there are several, and the two cars are the same, so I'm afraid that one car will have a problem. Very precious! ”

The lieutenant didn't answer directly, anyway, Zhu Fan couldn't do anything to him.

"You like to talk about it or not, huh!" Zhu Fan muttered and lowered his head to eat noodles.

The environment in the Gobi is indeed different from the desert, and everyone's mood is very relaxed, including the livestock.

Camels and horses are obedient and do not bow their heads to eat the grass of the bushes while they are on the road.

Wild donkeys don't care about that much, they eat, eat a few bites, and then catch up with the group, eating as they go, relying on their speed and weight-free advantage.

They can be regarded as recognizing this team, probably because they think this team is very good at finding water.

The further the team went, the more vegetation there became, and the speed was raised, and it did not go for seven days, but after four days it crossed a small valley and arrived at Lingbei.

"From this point of view, if we work hard tomorrow, we will be able to reach Helin City, where General Xu fought with Wang Baobao."

The young general came over at the third quarter of the first day of Shen and said to the crown prince and the king of Qin.

There are two more days for the winter solstice, and now it is a little dark, and it gets dark early.

According to the calculation of location, this belongs to the East 8th District.

"Wang Baobao? Hum! Zhu Fan was most disgusted with Wang Baobao, and at the same time was grateful to Xiaqiu Village.

"Captain, how about this king personally cook a dish for you in the evening?" Zhu Fan wants to express his gratitude with practical actions.

"Uh......" Lieutenant Chief was scared.
