Chapter 493: Treasure Hunt in the Desert
As night fell slowly, a long caravan of camels entered the oasis.
They were very tactful, or rather very cautious, in bypassing where Zhang Yuan was and set up camp on the other side of Crescent Moon Lake so that both sides could maintain a sufficiently safe distance.
Even if Zhang Yuan is alone.
Zhang Yuan noticed that this caravan from the Hulan tribe was very organized, with personnel divided into different groups in an orderly manner. Some were responsible for guarding the perimeter, some for setting up tents, some for building bonfires, and some for slaughtering lambs.
Interestingly, they brought their own firewood and did not cut down any trees in the oasis.
Soon, a pile of blazing bonfires were set up opposite Zhang Yuan.
Then the freshly slaughtered lamb was placed on the table.
Zhang Yuan could even smell the aroma of barbecue coming from over there - with a special scent of spices.
What he didn't expect was that after some time, the tribal warrior named Buzzard came over.
And also brought a delicious roasted leg of lamb.
The warrior said with a smile: "Friend, my master invites you to taste the secret roasted lamb of our tribe."
Zhang Yuan hesitated for a moment, then took the lamb leg: "Thank you."
"You're welcome. We in the Hulan tribe are very hospitable. Please come and visit us if you have the chance."
Buzzard's attitude was really amazing and he was very enthusiastic.
"and many more."
The tribal warrior turned around and was about to leave when Zhang Yuan suddenly stopped him.
At the same time, he handed over a jar of wine that had just been taken out of the storage space.
They were just a chance meeting and the other person was so warm and polite, so Zhang Yuan naturally had to be a little polite and not eat the other person's food for free.
Buzzard was stunned for a moment, then he laughed: "Thank you!"
He didn't hesitate and took the jar of wine with both hands.
Then he bowed to Zhang Yuan and returned to his own camp.
Zhang Yuan sat down again and took a bite of the sizzling roasted lamb leg.
The next moment, a spicy and fragrant smell instantly detonates the taste buds, rushing straight to the nasal cavity and refreshing the forehead!
What the hell!
Zhang Yuan was almost in tears.
Because the taste of this roasted lamb leg was at least 80% similar to the barbecue he often ate in his previous life, it instantly evoked beautiful memories in the deepest part of his consciousness.
Of course, the flavor mainly comes from the spices.
This suddenly gave Zhang Yuan the urge to go to the opposite caravan and buy some secret barbecue ingredients!
Although he had just had dinner, he ate the leg of lamb cleanly.
Even the bones were chewed into crumbs.
It tastes so good!
In addition to the spices and seasonings, the quality of the mutton is also excellent, and the barbecue skills are much better than Zhang Yuan's own.
However, just as he finished eating the leg of mutton, Buzzard came running over again.
The rough-looking warrior scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Zhang Yuan, do you have any more of this wine? My master wants to buy another jar, the price is negotiable!"
Zhang Yuan was surprised by the taste of the roasted lamb leg, but the Hulan caravan was stunned by the fine wine he presented as a return gift.
Since the wine Zhang Yuan sent was a small jar, weighing only five kilograms, it was not enough for these men to share.
Buzzard himself took only one sip.
Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "I still have two jars. I'll give them to you, but I don't want any money."
After a pause, he added: "How about exchanging it for the spices you use to grill meat?"
The fine wine that Zhang Yuan just gave back to the other party was purchased from the restaurant in Linxian Manor and was quite valuable.
And you can't buy it anywhere else, so the taste is naturally excellent. In terms of value, this small jar is more than enough to buy hundreds of lamb legs.
The other party obviously knows what he is talking about.
So now that the other party offered to buy wine, Zhang Yuan didn't think twice and directly asked Buzzard to exchange it for barbecue spices.
"spices?"
Buzzard was stunned for a moment, then quickly said happily: "No problem, no problem at all!"
The local specialty spices are one of the most important foreign trade items of the Hulan tribe. Every year, camel caravans transport a batch of spices to Daqian and bring back a large amount of wealth.
Although this was their return trip, they still had some stock for their own use.
There is naturally no problem in doing business with Zhang Yuan.
So Zhang Yuan went to Huang Piuma, opened his bag, and took out two jars of wine - actually from the storage space.
Buzzard left in high spirits with the wine and soon returned with a bag of animal skins.
The pocket was quite large, and contained not only several seasoning packets filled with different spices, but also a jar of sauce.
If you use these spices sparingly, they will be enough for Zhang Yuan to use for many barbecue meals.
In addition to the spices, Buzzard also respectfully handed over a jade leaf and said, "Brother Zhang Yuan, this is a token of my master's love."
"If you have the opportunity to visit our Hulan Grassland in the future, just show this token and any man on the grassland will take you to our tribe!"
Zhang Yuan took the jade leaf with some curiosity.
The material of this token is excellent, the finest white jade, and both sides are engraved with complex patterns.
There are two ancient characters in the middle.
Although Zhang Yuan didn't think he would ever need this token, he still said happily, "Thank you, I will!"
In fact, today's encounter with the Hulan caravan was just a small episode in the training process.
Zhang Yuan didn't take it to heart.
The long night passed quietly without any accidents. Even the wild animals were afraid of the campfire by the water pond. They just lingered and howled in the distance, not daring to approach the oasis easily.
The next morning, Zhang Yuan packed his luggage and left the oasis while it was still light.
After walking a long distance, he observed the caravan through the red-eyed crows.
As a result, I found that the other party was going in a different direction from me, so I stopped paying attention to him.
Three days later, Zhang Yuan crossed the Gobi Desert.
Entered the vast desert!
Since the specific name of the desert was not shown on the treasure map and Zhang Yuan did not have the corresponding feng shui map, he knew nothing about this area.
If someone else had barged in like this, even if they had brought food and water, they would probably be in great danger.
Because the environment in the desert is much worse than that in the Gobi Desert, all you can see are rolling sand dunes. There is not a trace of green, let alone the existence of water oases.
What the Red Eyed Crow saw from the air was that there was only yellow sand within a hundred miles, and there was no change further away.
Not only that, the temperature in the desert is also very high, and under the scorching sun, the speed of advancement is greatly reduced.
Zhang Yuan was riding a yellow horse and almost fell into quicksand several times.
Fortunately, such danger was nothing to him.
The most important thing is that the large amount of supplies stored in the storage space ensures that Zhang Yuan will have enough food and drink in this sea of sand.
Always reach the destination! (End of this chapter)
