Chapter 57: A lump of glass?

Views:

It is still quite difficult to burn glass. At night, Zhuang Yu can only make the sand glaze, but how to burn it into the desired shape is a bit difficult.

For example, he plans to use glass as a sunshade, the glass must be square, but now, Zhuang Yu looks at the transparent lump in front of him, it is obviously not possible.

It can only be studied slowly.

After looking at the sky, Zhuang Yu began to return to Chidi City.

The little mushroom kept poking the lump of transparent stuff with a small stick. It was obviously sand, so why did it become like this? It still looks pretty, translucent and bright.

Seeing Zhuang Yu leaving, the little mushroom quickly kicked the transparent lump, then turned around and ran away, with its belly facing forward and its head facing backward, running fast.

The members of the Ghost Willow family looked at the shiny lump that was burnt out. The shape was a bit off, but it couldn't be a gem, right

It looks very precious, but Shaojun actually dismisses it.

In Chidi City, the briquette stoves have been fired one after another, as if the sky is dotted with stars.

Zhuang Yu was stunned when he saw it. In the past, Chidi City was pitch-black, and it was like a dead city at night.

Now, it was a bit too lively.

In order to see the scenery of their Chidi City, some people even climbed to the roof, and chatted with the neighbors who also climbed to the roof.

The tribal women in the yard were carefully looking at the pottery pot on the stove. This is a precious pottery. They actually put it on the fire and burned it, as if it would burn out in one go, so they would die of heartache.

In the past, they would have kept the clay pot like a treasure, but now, Shaojun said, it is a pot for cooking meat.

The broth in the pot had been simmering for a while, and it was the first time for them to cook broth, and the smell alone was enough to make people intoxicated.

The children gathered around the stove, smelling the white smoke from the pot with their noses, it was so fragrant.

Recently, their family's meat consumption is too fast, but Shaojun is always coming up with new ways to eat, so they can't help but want to try.

If you try this, you can’t stop. It will take some time for the cattle and sheep raised in the Qingsang Department and the Dead Sheep Department to grow up. I don’t know if their current food can last until then. I am really worried about happiness.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the people in Chidi City have already started to drink the broth they boiled.

As soon as the broth was in their mouths, my God, they felt that their meat diet had to be accelerated again.

On a cold night, drinking such a bowl of hot broth made me almost cry. It is warm, warm from the inside out, like a temperature emanating from the body, coupled with this delicious taste , no one can stand it.

This bowl of warm broth is definitely the most comfortable thing at night, no wonder Shaojun wants to teach them to cook a pot of soup on the stove at night.

Looking at the children at home, drinking the broth with blushing faces, a sense of happiness and satisfaction arises in my heart. It’s not like when they were young, they lived like little beggars, let alone drinking warm broth. Even a normal bite is not easy.

The night in Chidi City is indescribably warm, they like this kind of night, no matter how tired they are during the day, it seems that at this moment, the soul has been comforted, and all the hard work is worth it.

Because Zhuang Yu wanted to burn glass, it was Aunt Chuncha who was cooking for a group of radish heads at night, and Aunt Chuncha was also making the broth today.

A group of little radish heads and little blushes surrounded their pot.

When Zhuang Yu and Shaohao came back, they just had dinner.

A group of radish heads hugged the bowl, drank the broth, and spit out puffs of white gas. The sky had begun to turn cold.

Eating together like this has a special atmosphere.

However, Mrs. Chuncha said, "Young Master, the leaders of all the tribes have come to respond. They are running out of meat reserves."

As for the reason, it's all because the method of making meat taught by Shao Jun is so good, and the food is so delicious that they can't stop.

Zhuang Yu was taken aback, this is a problem, they now raise a large number of cattle and sheep, but they are too small, it would be a pity to just kill them.

Zhuang Yu thought for a while, and couldn't help looking to the side. Some meatless bones were lying there, which should be the unwanted bones picked out of the boiled broth.

It was the same in the past, the bones could not be chewed, so no one wanted them, and they were just thrown away.

Zhuang Yu said, "These bones can actually be boiled into bone soup. It is very comfortable to drink a bowl at night, and the nutritional value is no worse than broth."

Bone broth is a high calcium food, especially good for children.

When a group of radish heads heard the bone soup, they immediately remembered that when they were in the Golden Centipede Department, they went to Zhuang Yu's to beg for bone soup every day. They drank until their stomachs bulged, and immediately said happily, "Yes, yes , The bone soup is delicious, I can drink several bowls by myself."

"Boil a big pot, it's fragrant and delicious, and after drinking it, we will feel very energetic. We have grown fat and fat since then."

Aunt Chuncha was taken aback, this unwanted bone is so good? Shaojun's children are indeed pleasing to the eye, and they are well-fed.

Zhuang Yu thought to himself, bones are more expensive than meat on the earth, this is a good thing, and the children of the tribe seem to be unable to eat enough for a day, just let them drink more bone soup, which is nourishing and delicious.

Zhuang Yu washed the bones directly, then threw them into the pot and boiled them.

While drinking the broth, they waited for the bone soup to be boiled, and a group of radish heads were still nostalgic for the taste of the bone soup.

By the time they drank the broth comfortably, the bone broth had already produced some aroma.

Auntie Chuncha tried it, and the unique fragrance of bones is particularly strong.

If they still ate the unsalted barbecued meat before, this soup could be called the best of all delicacy. Besides, Shaojun said that this bone soup is very nutritious, so it sounds like a good thing.

Aunt Chuncha said, "I will teach you how to make bone soup tomorrow."

First, it can make use of the bones that are usually not needed, and second, it can be regarded as a snack for the children of the clan. The children of the clan can drool for a long time with their fingers in their mouths. The taste of this soup will definitely like it very much.

Zhuang Yu nodded, the children in the clan are indeed a little too dry.

But this is also a temporary solution, not a cure, and it is impossible to solve the problem of the rapid consumption of meat in Chidi City.

After Zhuang Yu thought about it, he still had to find a way.

At this time, when they were living their warm and peaceful life in Chidi City, the place Chidi thought was turned upside down.

Why

Because the same thing happened to them in Chidi City, with the delicious barbecue grilled with snowflake salt, their appetite seemed to be out of control.

The difference is that they are not short of meat, and when they are short of meat, they just go hunting in the mountains.

But... they are short of snowflake salt.

The originally purchased Snowflake Salt was consumed many times faster than expected, especially Baidi City and Ruidi City secretly bought a lot from them.

So, after a period of time, their snowflake salt was exhausted, and they couldn't buy it anywhere. I really regret that I gave it to the people of Baidi City and Ruidi City, causing them to lose all of them.

They had to lick the former salt rock.

But after being baptized with snowflake salt, how can they endure the dirtiness and bitterness of salt stone.

From the moment the snowflake salt was exhausted, there was simply howling.

The people from Baidi City and Ruidi City who secretly came to buy snowflake salt were similar, no matter what price they offered, they would never be able to buy salt.

This is how to do ah

According to the usual practice, the caravan of Red Emperor City will only come out once a year.

However, some people were lucky. Last time, the caravan from Chidi City came out twice in a row.

But they waited and waited, every day was like a year, and the caravan selling salt from Chidi City just didn't come.

As a result, a group of people broke out with resentment on their faces.

On the edge of the red land, there are a large group of people from various tribes every day, just like Wangfushi, looking at the yellow sand in the red land.

"What should we do? Waiting like this is not an option. If they really come out after a year, we really have to wait a year?"

"Anyway, I can't wait for a day. If I hadn't eaten snowflake salt before, I would have just licked salt stones to get by, but... now licking salt stones is simply a kind of torture. Let's see how thin I am now." gone."

A group of people gritted their teeth, "Why don't our caravans join together to form a large caravan and enter Chidi to exchange snowflake salt."

"Although Chidi City is blocked by the endless yellow sand, it is very difficult to walk, but it is not that no one has been there, leaving behind an ancient map. There are so many of us, and it is not easy to get lost in it."

As a result, a group of caravans, carrying abundant supplies, entered the rolling yellow sand according to the map left by their ancestors.

For the first time, a caravan took the initiative to march towards Chidi City.

In the past, it was recognized that Chidi City was barren, there were no good things, and the road was difficult, so no caravan would want to go there.

Some things began to change unconsciously.

The accumulation of such changes little by little will eventually bring indescribable shock to the entire land.

However, before the caravan entered Chidi, a group of people entered in advance, but they were all sneaky.

These are the spies from Baidi City and Ruidi City, especially the overwhelming spies from Ruidi City.

The Baidi City and Ruidi City alliance, their purpose is to follow the example of the Three Emperors to rule the world, but they have lost such a big face before they started, how could they let it go, these spies are nothing but pioneers.

The yellow sand is rolling, and the oasis where the Red Emperor City is located is like a miracle, standing alone in the desert.

At this time, a human head popped out from the sand, squinting his eyes and looking at the distant Chidi City, like a vicious jackal.

The Red Emperor City is indeed as recorded on the ancient map, it is here, and the road is as difficult as the rumors, but different from the records, the Red Emperor City is actually full of vitality, built on top of an oasis.

There is an oasis in the desert, which is very shocking.

But before he could react from the shock, a gust of wind and sand floated over.

The wind and sand were a bit big, and the head that was exposed on the ground was directly buried in the sand.

In fact, it's nothing, just bury it if you bury it, he was originally hidden under the sand.

But, suddenly, the surrounding sand squeezed inward, as if an invisible force grabbed the ground.

"Zi."

The blood seeped out from the sand in the water, and this person would probably be buried here forever.

In the wind and sand, a person came out loomingly, "Actually showing off sand skills in front of my Huangsha clan, thinking that you can't be found in the sand like a gerbil? We grew up catching gerbils."

The voice was a little disdainful. Regarding the art of sand, their Huangsha clan has lived in this endless yellow sand all their lives, and they have never convinced anyone.

However, his brows were frowned, "It's strange, why more and more spies have come to spy on our Chidi City recently, and I heard that other patrol teams have also killed quite a few spies. Say it."

At this time, Zhuang Yu was busy burning his glass, thinking about how to solve the problem of their rapid consumption of meat while burning the glass.

How about letting the Jiaokang clan go out with the caravan again? Anyway, they produced a lot of salt.

The only problem is that their relationship with Baidi City and Ruidi City is very bad now, even if such a good salt wants to be exchanged for meat, the price may be suppressed to an unacceptable level.

The people from Baidi City and Ruidi City are the best at this, as can be seen from the fact that they could only exchange for salt stone at a high price.

When Zhuang Yu was troubled, in the desert, the caravans of various tribes were lining up in long rows, braving the wind and sand, carrying a large amount of supplies, and according to the instructions of the ancient map, they were struggling to find the location of the Red Emperor City.
