Chapter 63: Live in vain(1/2)

The pastures on the rolling hillsides here are extremely rich.

There are several small streams flowing not far away.

Many of these creeks are melted iceberg water, which moistens the earth at this time of year.

It is precisely because of this that there is such rich pasture here.

The journey took a long time today, and the horses were exhausted.

Of course, this can be considered a small test!

Like Xu Lingjun and his team can take the lead in choosing a good position.

Xu Lingjun looked around and muttered a few words to Feng Liguo.

Feng Liguo nodded and rode his horse to look at the area to the east.

After I came back, I went to see the captain Wang Fuxing.

There is no other reason. The pasture next to the mountains and forests to the east is pretty good.

There are two streams running through it, and the pasture is very fertile.

Although it's not as good as the central location, it's not far behind.

But no one would choose the pasture in the middle, it was reserved for the captain and his companions.

The most important thing is that there are mountains and forests on the east side.

Xu Lingjun just told him that if he had the chance, he would like to dig some herbs in the mountains and maybe catch some game.

Feng Liguo was moved when he heard this.

He couldn't help but think of the powerful Suoyang Pill and the fish soup he had eaten yesterday.

So Feng Liguo went there to investigate.

Although he was excited, he couldn't delay his job.

After wandering around for a while, I felt it was pretty good there, so I agreed to Xu Lingjun's suggestion.

When Feng Liguo came back, they rushed to the pasture to the east.

Because they arrived first, they have priority.

Those who came later were not so lucky and had to go further.

Don’t underestimate this, traveling further means you have to start early in the morning.

I had to carry the cut pasture back early in the evening, which wasted a lot of time here and there.

It will also consume a lot of the horse's physical strength.

In addition to this, there are also factors such as the richness of the pasture, water sources, etc.

Every year when I go up the mountain to cut grass, the last half day can be considered a small test.

Groups with better horses will be able to choose better pastures first, while those with poorer horses will have less room to choose.

This can be regarded as a small means of competition among the seven teams!

Arriving at the foot of the mountain forest, Xu Lingjun and the others quickly let the horses graze freely.

By this time many ponies and mares were exhausted.

There was still half a day left today, and they did not separate from each other.

Another point is that several people are waiting to eat those two fishes.

Xu Lingjun thought about the fish soup yesterday and quickly grabbed Guo Zhizi who was about to take action.

"Brother Guo, leave it to me. I'll put some herbs in it to make sure the fish doesn't smell fishy and still tastes delicious."

"Okay, don't do it wrong!"

Guo Zhenzi still didn't believe Xu Lingjun.

He thought that Xu Lingjun was good at raising horses and studying well.

He can also heal diseases and shoot fish. Can he also cook?

Xu Lingjun took the fish to the stream and washed it thoroughly, removing all the fish's gills and everything.

He finally knew why the fish smell was so strong yesterday.

You don’t even have to pick out the gills of this fish, so how can it not have a strong fishy smell?

At this time, people saw less good things, plus there was a lack of oil and seasoning.

Most people only boil and steam it, and rarely do other styles.

The conditions here are difficult, so Xu Lingjun can only come here simply.

Prepare the fish and put it directly into the water, but add some more seasonings.

Put soy sauce, salt, star anise and everything in it.

Just put the aluminum pot under the temporary stove and cook it.

As for the staple food, they each have some dry food, and they can just eat it with fish soup after a while.

Qin Daru and Niu Fengying will officially set up the stove this afternoon.

Except for the meal in the evening, the team manager was in charge.

The rest can be handed over to them to help process the grain they carry.

It can be considered a small benefit.

It was just right to carry as dry food the next day.

Of course, if you don't want to, you can do it yourself outside.

Xu Lingjun put some firewood under the stone stove.

If you want to make a good fish soup, you have to simmer it slowly.

Seeing that the fire was almost done, he stuffed some dry horse dung into it, then continued the fire and let it cook slowly.

Don’t be afraid of being late for a good meal, and don’t be in a hurry if you have a few people.

While cooking, we each found a place to mow the grass.

Although we only have half a day today, the team will also ask for a certain amount of forage.

Otherwise, they can only record half a day's work points, so their time is still very tight.

"No, no, this is too fragrant. I can smell it from so far away."

After Guo Zhenzi cut the grass for a while, he smelled the fragrance, which directly aroused the greed in his stomach.

I hadn't eaten in the morning, but it was already noon, and I was so hungry that my chest was pressed against my back.

In addition, everyone was waiting to eat fish, and no one went out to get dry food to eat.

Now my stomach is rumbling as soon as this smell arouses me.

"Brother Xu, is this fish ready? My stomach is growling."

Before Liar Guo could ask, Li Dapeng shouted from a distance.

Do you think they are quite arrogant?

Yesterday I was secretive for fear of others finding out, but now I am eating fish in such a big and noisy way.

In fact, the pasture assigned to each group was quite large.

How else would I be able to carry out more than twenty days of grazing and collecting forage?

In other words, there are only a few of them in this area of ​​more than ten miles.

Five people can eat fish, and no one will talk nonsense outside.

So there is no need to worry about anything.

"Let me take a look, I think it's almost done."

Xu Lingjun walked to the stove, opened the pot lid and saw that it was good and ready to eat.

"Okay, everyone, come and eat!"

Xu Lingjun shouted loudly.

He finally understood why people on the grassland had good voices.

There is no other way, in this age where communication relies on shouting.

Especially since they are so sparsely populated here, who can hear it without a good voice?

As soon as Xu Lingjun finished talking to a few people, he put down what he was doing and ran towards him quickly.

No, it should be running towards the pot.

Xu Lingjun took out the wild onions he just found, washed them, cut them and put them in the pot.
