The yellow mutton was grilled and the rich fragrance was suffocating. Everyone couldn't help swallowing their saliva with their lips. Zhao Danqing's attention immediately changed. He came to Jiang Xingchen in two steps and stared at the yellow olive that was gradually turning yellow.
But at this time, the old man was depressed. He poured a lot of mung bean soup, and his appetite was a little swelling, so he could not eat anything.
"Boy, don't eat them all, leave some for me!" The old man hurried over. When he stepped, he could hear the sound of water shaking in his stomach. He knew that he was full of water and it would not take long to get down after two peeing.
If he was not in a hurry, it would take a long time for a yellow sheep to cook. But now Jiang Xingchen is actually using high heat, obviously the rhythm of roasting one layer and eating one layer. With Zhao Danqing, he probably had no bones left before he could make his stomach free.
"Old man, it's useless to tell me. I'm not the main force. On a hot day, I'll be full in just a few bites..." Jiang Xingchen spread his hands with a slight joke.
The old man is so angry. This little soul is definitely doing it on purpose. Why do you tell you that it is useless? Isn’t you the final decision on how long it takes to bake? I have to use high heat to roast one layer and eat one layer!
However, he also knew that it was useless to tell Jiang Xingchen that the more urgent he acted, the happier this guy would definitely be and the more he would try to make a difference in his power.
"Danqing!" The old man turned around and smiled at Zhao Danqing.
"Hiss~" Everyone got goose bumps. The sound and smile made them feel numb no matter how they looked.
Zhao Danqing couldn't help but shivered and didn't say anything. He rushed to the yellow sheep, waved the dagger in his hand, and cut off more than a dozen pieces of evenly thin and evenly thick lamb.
Jiang Xingchen was surprised. This guy is really a foodie. As soon as he was about to do something, he realized that the mutton was already cooked.
Zhao Danqing moved, and the other team members also moved, and a sword light flew. In a blink of an eye, the outer layer of the yellow sheep was completely divided.
"Damn~ Are you all using your cultivation skills here? I haven't seen him fighting with others. He eats so neatly, and his knife is more smooth than mine..." The old man wailed and jumped over and kicked Zhao Danqing. His jump also caused a rustling sound of water. As soon as Jiang Xingchen bit his mouth, he sprayed it out.
More than a dozen people ate a yellow sheep, and the speed was very fast. Everyone immediately surrounded the yellow sheep again and waited for the second layer to be roasted.
The old man was crying without tears. He yelled in his heart: "Let me teach you a lesson. I will never steal food again. This bastard Jiang Xingchen is too sinister and will definitely do it on purpose..."
After everyone finished eating a meal of yellow sheep, the old man's appetite also went down. Looking at the yellow sheep, there was only a set of bones, with no trace of meat on it. It was cleaner than being licked by a crab.
"It's inhumane~" The old man howled wildly and directly came to Zhao Danqing. This guy was slapped his stomach and laughed.
Seeing the old man chasing Zhao Danqing, Jiang Xingchen shook his head and smiled bitterly. He never expected that these people were so cruel and ate so clean that they didn't leave any shredded pork for the old man...
They rested for a long time and did not set off until the afternoon. The old man was so angry that he didn't act with them. He rode the ribs alone and ran to the front.
Time is slowly advancing, and another three days have passed. The surrounding steep peaks have gradually decreased. The terrain is much smoother and the primitive dense forests are becoming more and more lush, with shades of trees covering the sky and the sun everywhere.
Then, they encountered a village, a small tribe. At this time, they realized that they had entered the real sphere of influence in the Southern Wilderness.
At the beginning, Jiang Xingchen thought he was lucky and found a limestone mine with a huge reserve. But now, this trip was far from meeting his requirements. Apart from mung beans, he found no other needed species, let alone the alkali mine he was looking forward to.
Although he knew that alkali ores were not so easy to find, there were not many large alkali ores on the earth in his previous life. Even so, he still couldn't hide his disappointment. Soda ash is really important for future development. Soda ash can be used in many industries in the future.
"Hey! Without soda ash, how to make glass... Ammonia gas cannot be synthesized, and the ammonia alkali method must not be used to make alkali. Lu Bulan's method, there is no sulfuric acid. The sulfuric acid made with green alum heating, just pull it down. That's just a theory, and there is no saltpeter found in this world. How can I do it! Even if there is, it cannot be used. It cannot be recycled hydrogen chloride and calcium sulfide. It has too much pollution to the environment. He doesn't want to turn the Star Collar into a chemical base... using wood ash or plants to extract it, the purity is not enough... I'll take it..."
Jiang Xingchen sat on a big stone, and the more he thought about it, the more he became more annoyed. If glass could not be produced, there would be no containers. How to build a laboratory? Research is also stuck in a bottleneck and cannot be broken through.
This world is quite similar to the earth, and it is quite different, and there are many elements on the earth. And the biggest difference is the existence of vital energy.
Flames, soap, cement, iron smelting, etc. are not much different from the earth. The growth of plants, the existence of monsters, and the bones of monsters can be used, which is a huge difference. Jiang Xingchen is sure that he must have not fully understood the vitality, and there are more things waiting for him to discover.
It is already a barrier for Xingchen to reach this point. No matter which direction it develops in the future, it will require a lot of experiments to use the knowledge on the earth to confirm with the world. However, the most basic materials are not enough now, so how to continue to build Xingchenchen into a modern city.
"It really doesn't work..." Jiang Xingchen thought of small alkali ores in other territories of the Qiankun Empire. What they are buying now is alkali produced from others.
After thinking about it carefully, Jiang Xingchen shook his head again. He snatched the other person's alkaline ore, which would really make the public angry. The emperor would not be able to bear it no matter what. As long as you extend your hands to another territory, it would be a sign of rebellion!
This flood caused countless people to be displaced and their grain output was greatly reduced. I still don’t know how many people were hungry. If it were Jiang Xingchen’s original expectation, he would definitely have to donate money to help the people in the disaster area.
However, in the end he didn't do it. If he really wanted to do this, the conflict with the emperor would be irreconcilable. In the eyes of the emperor, you are not helping disasters, you are buying people's hearts. This is amazing... Jiang Xingchen thought about it, but in the end he didn't pay.
Even if he can't even do disaster relief, how can he steal the alkaline mine? In that case, he might fight and fight. No matter how strong he is, he can't beat the empire's one hundred thousand army. Although he has a close relationship with several legion commanders, once he fights, he will definitely stand on the side of the empire. Even if he can escape, the efforts of Xingchen's harvest will be in vain and he can't afford to play.
"Boy, let's go back!" The old man's voice interrupted Jiang Xingchen's thoughts.
"Go back now?" Jiang Xingchen frowned.
"This is already the Southern Wilderness. The coverage of major tribal forces is still owned by others even if there is anything. You can't get it away... and it is basically unlikely to transport it back from here!" said the old man.
"Who said it's unlikely!" Jiang Xingchen retorted: "You forgot how Wang Yuan brought the tea back!"
"Can that be the same? Tea contains vitality and has been stored for a long time. Can something else be done?" The old man was speechless.
"Tianxia Commercial Bank has opened up the Nanhuang route and has frequent trade with it. Transportation should not be a problem!" Jiang Xingchen then explained.
"Boy, the shipping companies in the world are all shipped. You get bulk raw materials. One is delivered here and the other is transported out. The difficulty is more than ten times different... Not to mention, the shipping cost is so expensive at such a long distance. It's not a small amount for people to eat horses!" The old man shook his head.
"Transportation is difficult and expensive, it doesn't matter! I'll just fix it if I go back and build a road!"
"What?" The old man was speechless. You are kidding. The nearest Dali Kingdom is five thousand miles away, and there are countless hills and mountains in the middle. It is necessary to detour. It is a must. In total, it is probably not a seven or eight thousand miles. How do you practice and what to do.
"Haha!" Seeing the old man's appearance, Jiang Xingchen smiled, his irritability also eased a lot, and he waved his hand and said, "I'm kidding. I have to take my Xingchen into it when I repair this road..."
"Just kidding!" The old man twitched his lips, and three black lines drooped from his side.
"Boy, let me say it in vain as I said just now, right? You still want to move forward! Even if you find out, the shipping fee..." The old man said a little angrily.
"I said, "Old man, haven't you discovered that you are almost Grandpa Fu?" Jiang Xingchen waved his hand and interrupted him.
"Uh!" The old man was stunned when he heard this. He imagined carefully that he really looked like Old Man Fu just now.
"Don't you just want to go back and eat seafood earlier... Don't worry, when you go back this time, I will definitely let you eat enough!" Jiang Xingchen said with a smile.
"Liar, I don't believe you~" the old man muttered in a low voice. But he didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear that Jiang Xingchen would have an excuse to refuse when he went back.
Continue to move forward, the traces of people's movement gradually increased. A day later, everyone who was moving suddenly smelled a strong fragrance and all stopped.
"It smells so good, what does it smell?" Zhao Danqing smelled it with his nose.
"It's so fragrant, it's not worse than your boy's perfume!" The old man said, looking around.
Jiang Xingchen was in a state of great energy. He was worried that his perfume production would not keep up with the soap production.
Following the direction of the fragrance, Jiang Xingchen walked over first, and a group of people followed. Not long after, Jiang Xingchen suddenly stopped and exclaimed: "Yilanxiang!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
