Chapter 15: Acquaintances
"It smells so good!"
The rice grains and minced beef are perfectly blended together, which has both the fragrance of japonica rice and the rich flavor of meat.
You don't need too many condiments, just add a little salt and chopped green onions, and it's a top-notch delicacy that will make your mouth flutter.
Especially a group of people, who walked for most of the day, fear, fatigue, hunger, and uncertainty about the future made their spirits highly tense.
And on the verge of collapse, a bowl of hot beef porridge is not only a delicacy, but also an infinite hope to survive.
More than 30 palace people sat around the copper tripod, each holding a rice bowl, and drank it with great love and emotion.
Shen Wu was also infected by this atmosphere and drank two large bowls.
The delicious food stimulates her taste buds and soothes her stomach.
Shen Wu finally has a sense of being alive.
She really crossed over, really left that terrible world full of nuclear radiation and full of zombie viruses.
Here, there are no viruses, no monsters, and maybe chaos is coming, but at least the food is clean.
Shen Wu let out a sigh of air, and finally had a sense of belonging to this strange overhead dynasty.
"You go on!"
"Don't skimp on food, eat enough, sleep well, and we can continue our journey tomorrow!"
Shen Yu smiled and said a few words to Goldman Sachs and the others.
Gao Sachs and the others led all the palace people, all of whom habitually stood up and saluted respectfully: "Slave, obey orders!" ”
Shen Wan: ...... Abominable feudal hierarchy.
However, she will not be in a hurry to break it, but slowly figure it out.
Waving her hand, Shen Wu motioned for everyone to be casual, and she got up and entered the hall.
Mama Wang is temporarily placed here.
She had just eaten porridge and drank medicine, and her whole body was groggy.
Shen Wu watched Mama Wang fall asleep, and there was a little palace maid in front of her to take care of her, so she left with confidence.
Shen Wu didn't rush to bed, she began to wander around this temporary camp centered on the farmhouse.
The courtyard is very large, but it can only accommodate about a dozen people.
More than 20 others set up tents outside the courtyard.
In addition, the craftsmen Shen Wu ordered people to find were still working overnight.
Torches and lanterns were lit in the courtyard and around the area.
More than a dozen carpenters, sawing wood and chiseling mortise and tenon joints, jingle and not lively.
Shen Wu slipped here, and couldn't help but stop and watch.
In ancient times, carpentry was basically a mortise and tenon process, relying on concave and convex card grooves.
The carpenters had been busy for an hour or two, and the open space began to take shape with the plates and carriages.
Shen Wu touched it with her hand, it was very smooth, and there were almost no burrs.
She shook it slightly, and found that even without a single nail, the carriage was very stable.
Shen Wu had already planned, she and Mama Wang, plus thirty-nine palace people, a total of forty-one people.
The phoenix chariot is very large, and in addition to the people who are driving the car, it can accommodate ten more people.
And so there were thirty people left.
Ordinary horse-drawn carts, donkey carts, etc., plus coachmen, can carry a total of five or six people.
Shen Wu only needs to order someone to build five more frames.
However, in addition to carrying people, it is also necessary to carry goods.
Shen Wu can't run out every time she needs supplies, she has to go out and take a turn, and she must have food and goods on the surface.
Therefore, Shen Wu still needs to order someone to build two or three more trucks.
Trucks can be used without a compartment, only one board is required.
In addition, not all of them had to ride in the carriage, although they were all women and children, and there were no strong guards.
However, a team still needs to have "guards".
Shen Wu was going to select a few palace people who could ride horses to act as escorts.
Responsible for pathfinding, breaking, guarding both sides and so on.
Regardless of men and women, there are capable people living in it.
Of course, the more you bear, the better the benefits.
Shen Wu already has a plan, just waiting for it to be carried out step by step.
The first step in the plan was to build a carriage.
"Can it be done before dawn?"
Five carriages and two wagons, the amount of work is not small.
Fortunately, Shen Wu was willing to spend the silver and found all the young men who could do carpenter work in the surrounding villages in the town.
There are more than ten or twenty good people, in groups of three or four, and there are already semi-finished products.
There were still two or three hours before dawn, and at the speed of these craftsmen, it should be possible to complete it.
"Back to the nobles, the little old man estimated, maybe it can!"
An elderly craftsman dropped the chisel in his hand, got up and came to Shen Yu and replied respectfully.
Shen Wan nodded with satisfaction, she looked at the half-finished carriage, and originally wanted to make some more requests-
For example, add an extra layer of tarpaulin to keep it rainproof and warm.
For example, if you can get a spring, you can also increase the shock resistance.
Another example is ......
Unfortunately, time does not allow, and the rebels are now estimated to have occupied the capital.
They want to chase after them, and it won't take half a day.
They didn't catch up right away, and there should be some reason.
But, whatever the case, the rebels who could catch up at any time were the greatest danger.
Second, the technology is not up to scratch.
The spring is easy to say, but the process is complicated.
Without the blessing of modern industrialization, it is impossible to do it by hand alone.
And most importantly, there are no raw materials.
Iron, in ancient times, was really not something that could be obtained casually.
Shen Wu was glad again, when she was in the capital, she deliberately went to the general as a prison and collected all the stocks of armor, bows and arrows, arrows, swords, etc.
Otherwise, when you prepare your own escort team, you will not have the minimum ordnance and equipment.
"That's good! Great work! ”
Shen Wu gathered her thoughts, nodded to the old craftsman with a smile, and habitually thanked her.
The old craftsman knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed in fear, "Don't dare!" Can't! The noble man has orders, and the villain will do his best. ”
Shen Wan: ......
It was still Goldman Sachs, and when he saw Shen Wu get up, he hurriedly drank a bowl of meat porridge and followed.
He followed behind Shen Wu step by step, and when he saw this scene, Gao Sheng, who already knew a little about the new master, first secretly observed Shen Wu's expression.
Sure enough, on Shen Wu's beautiful face, a touch of helplessness flashed.
Goldman Sachs knew he wasn't wrong.
He hurriedly stepped forward and spoke for Shen Wu, "Boss, get up." Our nobles are the most benevolent. ”
When the old craftsman heard this, he cautiously raised his head, and saw that Shen Wu really had a gentle face, so he got up from the ground.
Shen Wu sighed to herself, didn't continue to stay to check, and began to patrol the outermost area.
"Who?"
Shen Wu has strong mental strength and is the most keen.
After patrolling around his makeshift camp for half a circle, he caught a dark shadow in the crop field on the side.
"Noble man spare his life! Noble man spare his life! The slave is just passing by! ”
The chubby imperial chef crawled to the front and threw himself directly to the ground.
"Grandpa? Grandpa Zhu? ”
Before Shen Yu could speak, Goldman Sachs had already exclaimed in surprise......
