Cheng Lingsu, the hostess of Biyun Qingju, was still dressed in a thunderous blue satin armor today, and she also wore a deerskin skirt stained with medicine stains around her waist, obviously just finished her work of concocting medicines. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, looking at her expression, it was obvious that she had fallen into a bottleneck in the research and development of the elixir, so she didn't have much politeness to the two Daohai Sect Source Envoys who could be called high-ranking and powerful.

Yan Fulong and Li Ruzhen both knew that this Mrs. Lingsu had a special status, and they didn't dare to put anything in front of her, so they followed Cheng Lingsu through a bamboo arch and sat down in a grass house.

Cheng Lingsu didn't say much to them, but just stretched out his hand to Li Ruzhen: "The rations and pills transported by Zhu Mingdan Tianfu are to be checked according to the rules, so don't talk nonsense, let's do things first." ”

Li Ruzhen hurriedly took out a palm-sized vermilion lacquer box from his sleeve and respectfully put it in front of Cheng Lingsu.

This vermilion lacquer box doesn't look big, and there are not many carved ornaments around it, but it is the most popular object among the military and civilians among the spells that Daohai Zongyuan has refined over the years.

The name of this type of spell is uniform, and it is all "mixed element box", at most a model code is added to the end. And the Taoists who are familiar with the basic Dao art training of Daohai Zongyuan also know at a glance which talisman is used in this kind of spell, and even those Taoists who like the refining and maintenance of spells can even fold their fingers and set up a dragon gate array like a few treasures: "Although they are all called mixed yuan boxes, they are also used to reduce the magic of mixed yuan Ruyi method, but the military mixed yuan box and the civilian mixed yuan box, that is the heaven and the earth, the three-year ancestor version and the five-year popular version, is also the difference between cloud and mud." Regardless of anything else, the military mixed element box is very particular about the material, and the fine iron used in the box body is also mixed with Yunliang stone, and the strength, hardness, and capacity are not comparable to the civilian version of those road goods that are repaired every three years......"

The mixed yuan box brought by Li Ruzhen, who has been in the center for a long time, is of course not an ordinary civilian version or military version of the spell tool, but a special version of the magic weapon specially sacrificed by the Lihuo Cutting Gold Institute for all the prestige envoys. In terms of the most important capacity index of the mixed element box, the capacity of Li Ruzhen's vermilion lacquer mixed element box is hundreds of stones, which is the most suitable for transporting grain and grass materials.

Cheng Lingsu didn't care about the humble and humble words revealed on the mixed yuan box, but just pressed the mixed yuan box, and suddenly popped out of the box tightly wrapped mulberry paper bags, which read "Relief rations, supervised by Zhu Mingdan Tianfu Health and Welfare Division". Cheng Lingsu casually picked up a mulberry paper bag, and felt extremely heavy in her hand, as if she was holding a brick, she immediately unwrapped the mulberry paper outside, revealing a light yellow gray starch block that looked unusually tight.

Weighing the weight of the starch block, Cheng Lingsu was noncommittal, took out a knife from his sleeve, and gently cut it in the middle of the "brick".

Cheng Lingsu took the "brick" and sniffed it gently, and then stretched out his fingertips and dipped some crumbs between the bricks into his mouth, and finally concluded: "This is made of dried sweet potatoes and ground into flour, mixed with some vegetable leaves and egg powder to make pieces." The taste is nothing, but mixed with a lot of sugar and salt, boiled into gruel can be a death for the hungry and cold. ”

After that, she sampled several other types of relief rations—all of which were the same in terms of ingredients, ground with dried sweet potatoes, mixed with a little fat, mixed with vegetables and animal proteins, and mixed with salt and sugar.

As for what is the source of the animal protein? Cheng Lingsu casually cut off a few pieces of relief rations, threw them to Yan Fulong, and motioned for him to taste them.

Although Yan Fulong was also born in a difficult background when he was a teenager, he has worked hard all the way over the years, and he is already a member of the eight-seat party. Even if he had always shared weal and woe with the Dao soldiers, Daohai Zongyuan's logistical supply had always been attentive, and he rarely touched this kind of crude food that only considered calories and did not pay attention to taste at all.

Reluctantly scraped some powder with his teeth and put it into his mouth, a fishy smell rushed straight to his nose, and he couldn't help coughing, and he didn't dare to be rude in front of Cheng Lingsu, so he had to grab the bamboo root cup at hand, and swallowed the strange-tasting and rough-tasting relief ration into his stomach with tea.

Looking at Yan Fulong's appearance, Cheng Lingsu glanced back at Li Ruzhen, but he didn't give him face at all: "The cost of this relief ration No. 2 and No. 3 is lower than that of No. 1, right?"

Li Ruzhen didn't dare to hide it, and responded: "In addition to dried potato powder, it is also mixed with bean dregs powder, and egg powder is too expensive after all, so after everyone researched it, they tried to make two relief rations, No. 2 and No. 3." Relief ration No. 2 is made from trash fish removed from coastal catches, while relief ration No. 3 is made with earthworm meal and mealworm meal. ”

He explained here, and Yan Fulong's mouth full of tea squirted out: "Brother Songshi, what the hell are you Zhu Mingdan Tianfu doing? Forget about bean dregs and fish meal, although this thing is feed, people can't eat it." But what is earthworm meal and mealworm powder for? This is still called relief rations? I think it's similar to the feed for pigs!"

Regarding Yan Fulong's complaints, Li Ruzhen was rarely stiff: "Brother Yan, although mealworms are a little fishy, they provide no less calories than silkworm chrysalis and dragon lice - the same is true for earthworm powder." Now that Shijun is presiding over the plan to cut down Liao, he is now going to take in the refugees from Luo Yandi and let them live as soon as possible. As for the taste of relief rations, that doesn't matter anymore. Didn't the recent report sent by Brother Yan say that many homeless people had already stripped off the bark of trees along the way and started to eat Guanyin soil? Compared with the bark and Guanyin soil, even if mealworms and earthworms were added to the relief rations, the nutrition and calories were so strong that I don't know where. ”

"Since we want to accept refugees, we also want to prove that our Daohai Sect is an immortal sect with the purpose of helping the people of the world, and the number one in the sky is the first to be a grand immortal sect, not to mention anything else, this relief ration also needs to be a little more basic, right?

"Brother Yan! The use of dried potato meal, fish meal, and insect meal is also to avoid large-scale mobilization of grain. Don't forget, in addition to our two prefectures in the north and south, there are also Murong parrots and their group, and they can't store rice and grain lightly! If there is a slight problem, the other side can make a fuss about it! Could it be that you are going to give them an excuse to support Shijun, let the one in the north blatantly intervene, and then create a situation between the two kingdoms of Song and Liao, the north and the south?"

Cheng Lingsu ignored the argument between the two dignitaries of the two mansions in the north and south, and picked up a small wooden box from the side and opened it. Unlike those relief rations wrapped in mulberry paper, they were all wax-sealed pills.

Cheng Lingsu crushed the wax shell of a pill, and knew by sniffing that this pill was made of barley, peach kernel, jujube meat, Poria cocos, Huangjing, Huaishan, etc., and added molasses to make pills, which is the most commonly used type of Bigu Dan in Taoism.

In addition to this kind of Bigu Pill, there are also Bigu Pills mixed with beans and sesame seeds, and Xiu Liang Powder with Poria cocos and pine resin, Cheng Lingsu picked it and just shook his head: "These Bigu Pills are only suitable for those of you who are strong in internal qi and have achieved cultivation, and take them when refining Qi in the deep mountains." What's more, these Bigu medicines are just foreign medicines that are taken when the meal is served, and they will inevitably be sent down with medicinal wine, where is the famine-relief food for the disaster victims? It is not easy to digest, and can only be used to supplement the physical strength of the Taoist soldiers patrolling outside. Speaking of which, it is better to use molasses directly into small pieces, which is more convenient and practical. ”

Originally, Li Ruzhen collected some recipes for opening valleys and rescuing famines, and made a batch of them on an experimental basis, preparing to show more in this operation to collect refugees. However, at this moment, Cheng Lingsu was broken, and he suddenly lost his face, so he had to laugh dryly: "This is what we think badly." ”

Cheng Lingsu raised his hand, drew a circle around Biyun Qingju, shook his head and said: "My medicine house is all around, and the Huashan Great Spirit Beans and Donghuang Intestinal Cleansing Rice that I have planted over the years have also harvested a lot, and they are all the best elixirs for Bi Gu and Grain. However, these elixirs are not allowed to grow in places where the earth qi is deep, if they are not planted in the blessed land of the cave light spirit ruins, and they are planted in the weak places of the earth qi, then it is delusional to even take root and sprout. Therefore, this kind of real Bigu drugs are all first-class controlled materials, and they cannot be used without permission, even if they are powerful envoys, the share that each person can use is limited. Therefore, the idea of using Bigu pill instead of relief rations was temporarily dispelled. ”

Denied Zhu Mingdan Tianfu's plan to use Bigu Pill to save the famine, Cheng Lingsu did not show much dissatisfaction with the relief rations with a fishy smell, but nodded: "Shandong people like to eat silkworm pupa, Guangdong Province prefers dragon lice and grasses, and Yungui also uses centipedes to eat." Although the customs of each country are different, there are many people who eat cicadas and grasshoppers, and the Europa people who trade with us also have delicious snails. In this way, earthworms were originally listed as materia medica, and mealworms were taught by Brother Wei to be used as feed, so they can naturally be used as food in famine years. As for the bad taste, compared to such a big thing as saving a life, the taste is a little worse, and it is not a big problem. ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Lingsu rummaged through the deerskin skirt a few times, found a verdant small seal, and found a form, filled it out one by one, and then stamped the seal: "I have passed the inspection here, the quality of the relief rations is qualified, and you are approved to transport it to the refugee camps in Zhuoyi Prefecture on a large scale." As for the Bigu pills made by Zhu Mingdan Tianfu, they were distributed to the Dao soldiers under Yan Fulong's command to replenish their calories when they were patrolling. ”
