Datang Longya

Chapter 184 Who's Who's Supper
The so-called water source is nothing more than a stream that is not even considered a stream. It seems to be the dripping water from the Gobi rock formations. It is not one step wide, but the water quality is clear and cool.

In fact, at this time, no matter whether people or horses are extremely hungry and thirsty, they don't care whether the water is muddy or not. Even Li Xiaogong and Li Jing couldn't help lying down on the ground and drinking wildly at each other.

After replenishing the water, Li Jing came back to life.

Li Xiaogong shook off the water stains on the armor, took a deep breath and said, "Only in the desert, do you realize that water, which can be seen everywhere, is so important!"

Li Jing gave up his position to a soldier, and then shouted loudly: "Hurry up and rest, the scouts will look around after the rest, and make sure not to expose the army!"

Those scouts hadn't rested for long, but the marshal gave orders, but they could only carry them out. After all, they were scouts.

Huang Zerui's current job is also a scout, responsible for launching into the water to find the location of the hidden reef.Having practiced underwater skills since he was a child, he is a "live fish" in the words of old man Zhou, and he returns home when he enters the water.

Huang Zerui raised the red flag in his hand, and Feng An, who was holding a telescope on the boat, nodded immediately: "It's a huge reef, we won't be able to get rid of it for a while, and that location doesn't affect the boat, so mark it on the waterway map Just fine."

In order to facilitate communication, Li Erniu gave the command flag of the Dragon Tooth Army to Huang Zerui. Red means that the reef is very large and it will take time and labor to eliminate it. Green means that it can be done with less than 20 people, and blue means that at least 50 people are needed to complete it. deal with.

Feng An yelled beautifully, but since his hand was cut by a stone, he no longer sees a reef and flattens another.

For the waterway, 5000 people alone are really not enough!
Moreover, this is just a not-so-broad river, and Feng An's passionate slogan was shattered by the cold reality.Therefore, as long as it is not the "thorn head" reef in the middle of the river, Feng An will probably choose to mark it on the map and save it for later processing.

Fortunately, the "thorn head" reef is not everywhere, and the fleet still has time to hurry.

After smearing alcohol on the wound with a grin, Feng An said to Leng Feng: "After all, the old man is greedy for comfort. In the past, his hands were so rough that they could sharpen a knife. What have they become now? They are like the hands of a big girl. They can even be used for a stone. Cut it open."

Seeing that Feng An's wound was not inflamed, Leng Feng felt relieved, pressed Feng An's other hand that was about to take the wine, and said, "Stop for two days, you, I haven't found out that wine is so good to drink. Yes, it’s better to make two cups of tea.”

Feng Ang shook his head and said, "The tea soup in the Central Plains is really not good, but your family's scented tea is not bad. When you come back to Lingnan, you can make a lot of money by setting up a scented tea workshop!"

Heck if you don't make money!Silk, porcelain, and tea are the three most expensive things in the trade between China and the countries of the Western Regions. Things are expensive when they are far from home. A few strange glazes brought by merchants in the Western Regions can be sold at sky-high prices. There is no reason why silk, porcelain, and tea Three things are worthless in the Western Regions.

In any case, these three things are at least much better than Liuli's appearance!
Leng Feng really wanted to go to Vietnam by boat. It is said that the "Champa rice" of the Song Dynasty was a fine variety imported from Vietnam.

Champa rice has three advantages: one is "drought tolerance".The second is strong adaptability, and it can be planted regardless of the north and south of the Tang Dynasty.The third is that the growth period is short, only more than [-] days from planting to harvesting.

There is no reason to wait for more than 300 years for such a good thing to be promoted. Although the new agriculture promoted by Liu Yuan has changed the traditional bad habits and increased the grain income, it is still not as quick as the introduction of improved varieties, especially rare crops such as potatoes, which are actually produced in different places. It's in America, which is really annoying.

Damn Li Jing, I don't know if he has done anything to Gao Chang at this time, such a good thing as cotton has to be introduced to Datang a long time ago!

Old man Zhou's ears are as sensitive as a cat's. Other old people at this age can't hear what others say clearly, but he can still hear the movement on the river bank.

"Something's coming ashore!"

Old man Zhou picked up the harpoon and stood up, his straight spine hardly reminded people of his real age.

Leng Feng glanced at the river bank, heh!So many green eyes!

"Tsk tsk, so it's a gnat! Why isn't this thing afraid of fire?" Leng Feng glanced at the fire in puzzlement. All animals are afraid of fire, so it makes no sense that these reptiles are not afraid of fire!

Old man Zhou said with a smile: "People who are extremely hungry will do whatever they can, let alone cats. There are not many big fish in this water area. It seems that these cats have not eaten enough during the day and want to have some supper."

Old man Zhou is a person who has been to sea, what strange things have you never seen?Now when you encounter a crocodile, you will not panic at all.

Leng Feng smelled the aroma of grilled dried fish in his hand, and said to Huang Zerui on the side: "It seems that it is your responsibility, the dried fish from your hometown is too fragrant. How about giving them an arrow?"

Huang Zerui chuckled, opened his quiver, pulled out the fuse, and coquettishly lit the fuse in the fire, almost making Leng Feng jump up in fright!
Obediently!Isn't this bastard afraid that the root of the fuze will be ignited, and it will blow up before it can be shot!

The thunderbolt shot into the group of crocodiles with green eyes by the river with flames.

peng!

This is the sound of thunder arrows exploding. The fragments of thunder arrows cannot cause fatal damage to crocodiles, but they are enough to scare them away.

The crocodiles didn't know when the two-legged creatures that ran when they saw them before had this move, and some unlucky ones were bleeding.The most unlucky one happened to be shot in the eye by an arrow from Huang Zerui, and was killed immediately.Running is the best policy if you can't afford to provoke them, and the crocodiles who were aggressive just now and wanted to eat supper all returned to the water together.

Huang Zerui called to Li Erniu, and excitedly dragged the most unlucky crocodile back. He really wanted to taste the taste of crocodile meat.

Seeing that Li Erniu was about to chop off the crocodile's head with his knife, Leng Feng quickly stopped him: "Don't, cut it from the edge of its stomach, you can eat the meat as you like, and give me the skin!"

Li Erniu squeezed the crocodile skin and said, "Boss, do you want to make leather armor out of this crocodile skin?"

This crocodile skin is extremely tough, it is absolutely strong when used to make leather armor, and ordinary swords can't deal with it.

Leng Feng shook his head: "I will use the skin of its belly to make a purse, and the skin of its back to make a backpack."

Crocodile leather is one of the top materials in leather. The things made of it are durable and will not lose their luster with the passage of time, but will become more and more beautiful.

Before Lengfeng had a crocodile leather wallet, which was made in China and had been used for several years without any wear and tear.

But it's a pity that I didn't take it with me on this mission, and didn't bring it to Tang Dynasty.You know, that wallet contains his family portraits when he was a child, which he used to miss his parents.
