Since the beginning of winter, it has snowed three times, and the situation in the mountains is much better than in the city.

The source of the Emerald Lake has a hot spring, and when the equation and his party arrived, the water surface had not yet frozen, and there were still a few dark greens on the lake beach.

The camp is permanent, and the thick meadow is lifted, revealing the stone cornerstone, a layer of moss, and a layer of planks, except for the first lesson of the cold winter, and when the camp tent is erected, it is a pleasure for the equation.

Reindeer moss is used as a bed, fur is used as a mat, and a charcoal fire that never goes out is burned, and life is much more comfortable than the low houses in the city.

If you are sleepy and tired, you can also soak in the spring near the camp.

I really don't know how this camp was chosen, whether it was for winter hunting or vacation.

The real situation should be that the equation is in charge of the vacation, and the people below are in charge of the winter hunt.

Twenty-seven people selected by Li Yannian's brothers, seven of them are from the Jurchen tribe, all of them have excellent water properties, when half of the liquor brought to them, they no longer complain of bitterness and tiredness, and they have been in the water for more than two hours a day, and three Dongzhu have been mined in less than ten years, covering all the costs of this trip, and the next thing is to make a pure profit.

The remaining twenty people were divided into four teams, and the three shifts were reversed.

One shift patrols during the day, two shifts of collection, and the rest of the shifts rest.

The animals near the camp seem to have been accustomed to human behavior, the prey is far less than imagined, the resource consumption is mainly reserved, more is mountain goods, chaga mushroom, forest ginseng, a single is worth a lot, and the amount is also larger, according to the head, so far a person can already divide three taels of silver.

Everything is just the beginning, according to Li Yannian's estimate, when he finally leaves, not counting the four of them, everyone who is left can take away a dozen taels of silver, and more than twenty or thirty taels is possible

The equation does not look down on this, but for the civilian soldiers who are not up to the bottom, with the supplement of this money, they can maintain the lowest level of dignity in the coming year, so as to wait for the possible opportunity to come.

"Looking at the weather, I'm afraid the fourth snow is coming!"

Walking out of the tent, the king walked towards a tent in the distance with the gloomy sky in the distance.

Birch sap has been collected before and after more than 80 catties, maple has been collected more than 20 catties, basically the nearby can be collected, no way...... The time is wrong, the sap is absorbed by the trees themselves, and if you want to collect it on a large scale, you can only wait for the snow to melt the next year.

Progress is okay though.

After the correct low-temperature slow cooking, the bitter taste mentioned by Xiaohu is not there.

The ratio also finds a median value, and the sweetness is obtained after leaving one catty for eight catties, which can meet the needs of ordinary people for sweetness and meet the requirements of cost.

This ratio, the equation didn't expect at first, after all, in his memory, the northerners ate sugar, and they had a great demand for sugar, but he forgot that the sugar eating in the north in later generations was under the condition that sugar production increased explosively and sweetness was convenient.

Nowadays, the human beings in the other world of Kyushu, let alone eating sugar, caught a hundred people on the road, less than thirty people have eaten starch sugar, and less than five people have eaten gray sugar, as for the rarer honey, even if the people at the bottom get it, they will often exchange it for money at the first time, and it is a sin to taste it.

In this case, it is extremely sensitive to sweetness.

He still remembers the satisfaction of the birch sap a few days ago.

If you can fool your taste buds, what more bike do you need?

The first step is completed, and the second step is a mixture of maple and birch, compared to the birch trees planted by the Kulen people, there are more maple trees that grow naturally in the territory of the Wu Dynasty.

Not dominated by maples, mainly because of trouble.

Birch sap, from the beginning of spring to before winter can be collected, a birch tree of more than 15 years, collected three or four times a year, a single time not more than a dozen catties will not damage the birch itself.

But maple trees are not good, in addition to the collection month limit, it is also related to the ambient temperature, which does not meet the requirements of large-scale production.

The other step is slow cooking, and maple syrup is more troublesome.

This is the reason why maple syrup is less and more expensive in later generations.

"Maple syrup, got it out?"

As soon as the curtain was lifted, a sweet smell pierced his nose, and Xiaohu, who was squatting next to the fire, asked.

"Soon, soon, at most another hour, you should be able to meet your requirements, sir!" Xiaohu stood up with a flushed face.

The days of watching the fire are not comfortable, and repeating the same thing is even more irritating, but when the finished product comes out, the smile on Xiaohu's face has not dissipated.

"Don't worry, maple syrup is harder than birch, just get it out, a few problems can be solved later, by the way, others?"

Since the first pot of maple syrup boiled, this camp tent has not been less than people, at the beginning of the liquor request for the birth of the Jurchen, eager to change the wine in hand to syrup, after the day's work is completed, I can't wait to stay here, not for anything else just for a sip of sweetness.

"Earlier, wolf smoke was rising from the hill in the east, and Yan Ting rushed over with the off-duty people, and the specific situation will not be known until they know!"

Accidents always happen, and the same goes for winter hunting.

The wolf smoke is a signal, and when he sees a nearby station, whether it is for self-preservation or morality, he will send someone over to take a look.

"It's not going to happen, is it?"

The equation frowned, and the string that had loosened in his heart suddenly tightened.

In the wild, who dares to say certainly?

"No!" Xiaohu shook his head, "If something really happens, it's impossible for us not to notice it, it's mostly showing off!" ”

"This mountain range, for hundreds of years, has been figured out by us, what is in the heart, winter hunting is boring, work is boring, generally after six or seven days, can not bear the loneliness will start to do things, some are purely for the sake of doing things, some are lucky, hunt tigers and wolves and other rare beasts, through the wolf smoke to invite people to show off, a banquet or something!"

"If something big happens, it won't be one wolf smoke, but several places will be lit together!"

"After all, there is still food in the mountains today!"

After listening to the explanation, the heart of the equation gradually relaxed, "Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, no matter what kind of news you bring back, let's prepare a little more these days!" ”

He has been deceived by the comfort of these few days, and since his vigilance has been raised, it is best not to let it go again.

"That's for sure, no matter what happens, add three more from tonight, and there will be fewer people needed during the day anyway!"

The fourth blizzard is coming, and after this snowfall, the snow is a foot deeper, and it is impossible to go far from the woodland patrol, so it is better to strengthen the guard at night.

"Just count it, I'll watch this fire, you should rest and rest!"

The steps have reached the last part, Xiaohu must have stayed up for half a night, and he should rest or rest, otherwise something big will happen.

"Then I'll go sleep for one night first, you call me if there's something sir!"

After speaking, Xiaohu did not pay the bill, and directly untied a roll of fur, and lay down as soon as the fur was wrapped.
