Chapter 50: Prepare dry food and come to the city to be surprised
When the three of them finished eating, they prepared to roast the venison, and Allah took out the kitchen knife, put the blood of the deer, and then swung the knife on a flat boulder and slaughtered it.
Alayanzong thought that his knife skills were quite proficient, but compared to Allah's knife skills, he felt that it was dwarfed.
Allah's venison was cut without a trace of blood, and it did not need to be rinsed with spring water, which Alayandzong alone could not do. Seeing that he cut venison and broke the tendons and deboned the bones, it was simply the reincarnation of Ku Ding, and the Alayan Sect sighed to himself.
After watching Allah's dissecting the sika deer for a while, Alayanzong was amazed, and went with Ula Peach to find dry firewood.
The two of them had found enough dry wood, and Allah had cut the whole deer into flesh and bones, and said that it was time to make a fire.
Alayanzong was amazed and said, "Aren't we a barbecue?"
Allah did not stop what he was doing, and said, "Yes." Just make a fire and burn it. How did you roast the lamb jerky before?"
Alayanzong said: "Roast on a stone slab, cut the slices first. ”
Allah Xiaoer smiled and said, "This time we will roast directly, the taste will definitely be different, let you taste another kind of barbecue." ”
The peach of Ula lit a fire at the entrance of the cave, and Allah took a deer leg, touched the salt on it, dipped it in the condiment, and grilled it directly on the fire.
After roasting for a while, he handed it to Alayanzong, and then took another deer leg and repeated the operation to roast it.
There were three men, each with a deer leg, and there they were roasting by the fire.
Allah exchanged the legs of the deer with Alayandzong and, after spinning them in the fire, said, "This one is roasted." ”
He took a piece of oiled paper and spread it on the slate, cut it with his special kitchen knife with a sharp tip, and "brushed" it a few times, and the browned cooked meat on the deer leg was separated, and fell on the oiled paper one by one, all about the same size.
Take two slices and let the two of them pay for it, and asked, "How does it taste?"
Alayanzong was full of praise and said: "It is crispy and tender, and the taste is quite good. It's so much better than baking it on a stone slab. ”
Ula Tao said: "If you don't admire professionalism, you can't do anything." The taste of meat roasted by a chef is different from that of other people's roasted meat. ”
Allah Xiao Er re-smeared the leg of lamb with salt and condiments, roasted it on the fire again, and said: "This method tastes best when cooked and eaten freshly, and it will not be crispy after a long time." ”
Ula no Peach chewed the venison in his mouth and nodded, "That's, that's!"
After roasting a deer leg, Alayanzong asked the two of them to continue roasting, and went out on their own to look for game.
This time I went for a long time, and after noon, Alayanzong came back, and only two pheasants were hit.
Allah and Ula had finished roasting the venison, and after the three of them had eaten the roast, they packed up the pheasant.
Alayanzong went out again, saying that he had seen some medicinal herbs and was going to pick them.
When he returned, Ula Peach had already packed the jerky into their own dry food bags, and carried them separately to be lighter.
It was still early in the morning, and the three of them decided to go to the mountain town of Vikchi and look for accommodation there.
Leaving the cave, through the bushes, out of the forest, it was back on the original trail. Along the road to the west, the road became wider and smoother, with less ravine rubble.
When they arrived at the mountain town of Vikchi, the sun was still on the top of the mountain.
However, the scene that greeted them shocked them unusually!
Outside the mountain city, there are many displaced people, thousands of them, and it is impossible to estimate how many people there are.
It's bustling, it's chaotic and noisy. The shouting and selling voices continued, and the sounds of chasing and fighting came one after another.
The voices and colors of the people are different. Sitting or standing, walking or running, lying or sleeping, crying, scolding, groaning, or glorifying. A variety of postures are available.
There are those who are well-dressed, those who are simple, and those who are ragged. There are high-ranking officials, and there are commoners. There are warriors, and there are singers. There are merchants, and so are fish farmers. There are those who practice medicine and sell medicine, and there are those who measure words and calculate hexagrams. It's so varied, it's too many to count.
There are those with serious expressions, and there are those who cry. There are those who sigh, and there are those who rejoice. Each has its own demeanor, which is indescribable.
There were also tents in the crowd, horse-drawn carts, carts, and even straw mats on the ground.
There were also people lying upright on the ground, and there were people crying next to them, and people were far away, but no one stepped forward to help comfort them.
People of all colors in society gather here, which is like a street scene of a gathering of displaced people entering the city.
However, the floor was full of garbage and the stench was overwhelming. The smell of feces, urine, rancidity, and all kinds of smells are mixed. In the grass family under the tree behind the stone, he defecates at will.
Looking at the city gate in the distance, the city gate was closed, and a group of soldiers lined up in front of the gate, holding the halberd and standing solemnly, no matter how the riot outside the city, they were not moved.
Seeing this, the Alayanzong was very surprised, so many displaced people gathered outside the mountain city, but no one from the official came to manage it, and everything was in a state of disorder.
There were people infected with the plague in the population, people had already died of disease, and the population density was so large that it was unimaginable to spread.
Alayanzong approached and asked a vendor who was selling baked white potatoes to find out what was going on.
It turned out that most of these displaced people came from the east, and the mountain town of Vikchi was originally allowed to enter. A large number of displaced people entered the city, it was overcrowded, and the castle was overwhelmed.
Later, someone contracted the plague and died. The spread of the plague was uncontrollable, so they drove all the displaced people out of the city, leaving only the natives, and then closed the city gates, and the soldiers were not allowed to enter or leave.
At regular intervals every day, the corpses are transported out and burned and buried. At present, there are not many residents in the city, but they still do not let the displaced people into the city.
The outcasts had to camp and sleep in the open, and they had to buy their own food for food. At present, the vendors are from the surrounding mountain villages, and the goods they sell are mainly food and drink.
The roasted sweet potato said that his sweet potatoes were his own grain, and he sold some just to exchange for some silver taels.
Just when the three of them were not knowing what to do, they saw a carriage coming out of the crowd and rushing towards this direction. In front of the Alayan Sect, he actually recognized that they were the two middle-aged people sent by the white-haired tiger to sell fresh fish here.
A cartload of fish has been sold out, and there are only a few empty fish baskets left, and it looks like they will have to rush back even if it is late.
On the fringes of the crowd, there were no familiar people such as Jeruha who had come with them, much less the young mother.
The three of them discussed, and Ula Tao felt that the gate to enter the city was closed, and the crowd would also be sleeping in the wild, and it was not known which one was infected by the plague. It's safer to go back to the mountains and stay away from the crowds.
Allah said that he wanted to find a permanent place to make a living.
This was in line with Arayanzong's original idea, but seeing so many sick people, he wanted to practice healing. I already had some herbs with me, but I didn't have anything to cook them.
So, I wanted to find one or two clay pots and pottery to heal the sick. The three of them squeezed into the crowd and went in search of the crockpot.
The idea of the Alayan sect was for the sake of the people, but at this time, suddenly the crowd was in chaos, and some people had already begun to flee north.
Gradually, this side heard clearly what was being shouted from the people's mouths, saying that there were officers and soldiers who came to slaughter the city and fled quickly.
The three of them couldn't squeeze out of the crowd, and they were dragged together and rushed to the north.
