However, when people are on the road, climbing mountains and wading in rivers, running around and working hard, this "preserved meat" can be regarded as a luxury product, so it is generally refined but not abundant.

Chen Baiqi had marinated the meat sauce before coming to Xue Yi. The reason was that Peinan Shanzhang and the others were not used to the local salt vegetable sauce when they first arrived in Hengjiang. In order to improve their food, she thought of a way to make it better.

The oil-splashed meat sauce is good for long-term preservation and tastes salty.

The meat in the meat sauce is minced with pork offal, stir-fried until fragrant, then stir-fried with soybean paste and various seasoning packages, and finally stewed over high heat. It tastes spicy, numb, meaty and rich in sauce.

Once the flavors blend together, you're done.

She also smoked some cured bacon, ribs, pig feet and pig tails. Her production method was naturally based on modern smoking methods. The meat was first marinated with salt and systematic seasoning bags, and then she found pine, cypress or dry fruit trees.

Burn the smoke to smoke the meat.

She had prepared plenty of meat sauce and bacon Chen Baiqi. In addition, she also steamed several large steamed buns of millet noodles and put them all in the system package. In this kind of situation, it would take ten and a half days to just go out.

In the ancient Warring States period, there were no cooking utensils on the road and it was difficult to find dry firewood to make a fire, so these necessities were always available.

Of course, there is another way to maintain basic mobility without eating, and that is to inject stamina potion, but this method is more luxurious. Chen Baiqi would rather prepare more bacon and cornstarch to eat on the road.

The meat sauce and bacon were put on the open surface after they were cooked. She carried several small jars of sealed clay pots with oil to pour the meat sauce, and Si Jiang carried a bag of dry cured goods. However, the steamed millet noodles could not be left outside.

If you carry it on the road, you're afraid it will taste rancid within a few days.

After being awakened by the sound of chewing rice crackers in the darkness that night, Chen Baiqi knew how "shabby" other people's food was, so she was not stingy and took out the oily meat sauce and bacon to share with those who were chewing "

"Embarrassing Swordsman", although the portion is not much, everyone who tried Chen Baiqi's meat sauce and bacon was full of praise for it.

Suddenly, the originally lukewarm relationship suddenly became closer and relaxed a lot.

So, there is no problem that cannot be solved by one delicious meal. If there is... then two meals!

Chen Baiqi, the millet noodle shop owner, hid it secretly, because she didn't bring it with her in public, and Chen Baiqi couldn't bear the salty meat sauce and bacon every day. The living habits of the Chinese people since ancient times have changed.

It is a combination of whole grains and meat and vegetables, so she and Si Jiang occasionally "hid themselves from the public eye" while you ate them one by one and I tried to solve it quickly.

Chen Baiqi, the second dog, also gave him a piece of bacon. She had washed and cooked the bacon in advance and could cut it into pieces and eat it directly.

Gou Er has strong survival ability in the wild. In addition to bacon, he can always find a lot of edible things to fill his stomach in the mountains and forests. If he has extra wild fruits, he will also give some to Chen Baiqi as an after-dinner fruit, and so on all the way.

As they walked forward, the group of them became a little more mellow without realizing it.

In addition to the problem of food, sleeping at night is also a big problem for the group.

You must know that people tend to be very casual when they sleep for a long time. If they are lucky, they can rest in a cave without wild animals, poisonous snakes, insects and mosquitoes for a night, but most of the time they sleep in the wild.

Chen Baiqi rarely followed a team with such poor conditions in the past. In the past, when she was "Chen Jiaoniang", she would either follow her own private team, or follow Chu Cangyue and other well-equipped troops.

Even if she sometimes travels far by herself, because it is packaged in a system, it is equipped with various camping equipment, tents, sleeping bags, and even quilts and blankets.

Therefore, this time she experienced the feeling of a large group of people nesting in a small cave, without fire or quilt, sleeping directly on the ground. The space is small, but when there are more people, the male smell of sweat, foot odor, and armpit odor becomes stronger.

The direct smoke makes people's scalp numb and they dare not breathe.

Spring rains are heavy, and sometimes when it rains, they will find some wood and tear off some flexible bark to simply build a shelter from the rain. No matter if the ground is wet or cold, they will just spread some hay and it will grow vertically.

As soon as he fell to the ground, he pulled Hulu and fell asleep.

Chen Baiqi was speechless and choked: "..."

With her current physique, she was so tired that she was sore all over and her head was dizzy after traveling day and night. However, there was only so much space in this small rain shelter. If she didn't collapse among this group of people and squeeze together, she would have to get wet.

Slept outside in the rain.

Sijiang saw the troubled look on her face, so he pulled her to find a seat to the side. He estimated the room that could be accommodated, and then forcibly overturned a strong man who was sleeping and breathing.

He was sleeping so deeply that when he turned over, he directly pressed his hands and legs on the other person's body, and the position of the other person was barely exposed on his back.

Si Jiang hugged Chen Baiqi and fell down. He pressed her head on his chest, using his back to block the splashing rain behind him, and hugged her hands to isolate her from other people.

Chen Baiqi was pressed against his chest. In the silent night, it seemed that apart from the ticking rain, the only thing left in the world was his heartbeat beating thumpingly.

She originally felt that the posture was a little uncomfortable, but under the hypnosis of this peaceful and warm heartbeat, she became more and more sleepy. Soon, her eyelids trembled and she fell asleep.

But Si Jiang had no intention of sleeping. He looked at Chen Baiqi's black head and smiled silently.

Gou Er, who was squeezed into the middle, could only curl up into a ball and couldn't even turn over. When he raised his eyes, he was caught off guard and had dog food sprinkled on his face. His expression was ambiguous and weird.

He glanced at Si Jiang several times and thought to himself, something didn't look right between these two people. How could two men hug each other so tightly while sleeping...

Su Fang, who was not asleep, did not crowd with the group. Instead, he made a straw hat out of elm leaves and put it on his head. He leaned under a dense tree. The night was dim and silent. He looked at

He glanced in the direction of Chen Baiqi and Si Jiang, raised the corners of his mouth, with an expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

——

It took them more than half a month to travel from Xue Yi to Qin State in a tight schedule, and finally it was no longer mountains and forests, but valleys and slopes. When they could finally see large buildings and populated towns, Chen Baiqi felt like pickles all over his body.

It exudes an indescribable sour smell.

Of course, everyone else is basically the same, or even worse.

Chen Baiqi looked at the "like-minded" people and found that she was getting farther and farther away from the "virtuous and honorable" number one counselor in the Warring States Period that she had imagined, but she was becoming more and more down-to-earth.

When we came to Xianyang City in the State of Qin, the city was divided into an inner city and an outer city. The outer city had a south gate, a north gate and a west gate. There was a Ji Que. There were large and small rammed earth buildings in the city, ranging from high to low.

There are brick and tile bungalows, and cloth signs swinging in the wind are hung on both sides of the street, indicating workshops such as copper smelting, iron casting, pottery making, bone making, etc. There are also people directly laying mats on both sides selling pottery, wheat, seeds or some straw sandals, coir raincoats, etc.

Chen Baiqi and the others who came to Xianyang City were all in disgrace, but compared with ordinary civilians coming in and out, they still had a different aura. In addition, they all wore swords, so the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to question them at will.

At Guanshu, they showed the customs clearance documents and then successfully arrived in Xianyang City.

As soon as I entered Xianyang City, I felt the prosperity of the city. The streets were crowded with people, and the air was no longer filled with the smell of trees and earth in the mountains. This made Chen Baiqi miss him very much after not being around people for a long time.

"The goal of our group is too big. We will break up for the time being and inquire about the location of our lord, and then we will meet up at the Horse Road in Beicheng before nightfall." Su Fang made arrangements for entering the city at the gate of the city.

Others have no opinion.

Chen Baiqi thought for a while and said: "It's better to work in groups of two or three, so that the message can be delivered in time and just in case."

Su Fang nodded and grabbed her neck with a smile.

"Okay, I'll team up with you, and the others can form their own teams."

After saying that, without waiting for the reaction of Chen Baiqi and others, he dragged Chen Baiqi and quickly squeezed towards the crowd on the street.

Si Jiang frowned and followed the two of them without even thinking.

He won't listen to Su Fang at all, he won't form a team with anyone, and he will be wherever Chen Baiqi goes.

Gou Er also wanted to follow. It could be seen that there were already enough people there, and the relationship between the three of them seemed quite complicated, so he stopped joining in the fun and found an honest swordsman to go with him.

We went to form a team.

To say that Su Fang was on the road during this period, he rarely had any personal contact with Chen Baiqi. Perhaps it was because Si Jiang was so close to each other all the way, and the two of them rarely had a chance to be alone. But once he arrived in Xianyang, he suddenly changed his attitude.

, dragging her along and moving together, which puzzled Chen Baiqi.

As if he had seen through Chen Baiqi's psychological activities, Su Fang said: "Chen Huanxian, the three elders have lived in Xue Yi for a long time and seldom go out. I guess they have never heard of your name, but I happened to be arresting Yuelu fugitives recently, and you happened to be on the list.

It has your name."

Chen Baiqi stopped struggling because of these words.

"Follow me obediently. I don't care what your identity is. Anyway, you are the one who passed the examination of the Three Elders. Even if you are a disciple of Yuelu, you probably won't be sent to prison."

Moreover, the names on the list were crossed out for some reason.

Therefore, Su Fang was very curious about "Chen Huanxian".

As he led her towards an alley in Xianyang City, Chen Bai began to wonder, since he knew her identity, why didn't he reveal her identity in the first place? Since she dared to use her real name to "apply" to Tian Mansion, she naturally had a way to deal with it, but

This behavior of Su Fang is quite puzzling. He knew that she was the target of arrest by Meng Changjun, a disciple of Yuelu, but he concealed it for her. What was his motive?

At this time, the wooden door of a workshop marked "Pottery Making" was suddenly opened, and a pair of hands stretched out from inside and dragged Su Fang and Chen Baiqi into the house.

Chen Baiqi didn't take any drastic actions during this process, because Su Fang patted her shoulder comfortingly beforehand.

As soon as I entered the house, I felt that the air was getting hot. It turned out that there was an arched "earth bag" dug inside the house, and a fire was burning inside. The firelight illuminated the whole house brightly and redly.

"Mr. Su, you are here."

The person who just dragged them into the house was a young man with a bun and a mule head, about 24 or 5 years old, with dark skin, regular facial features, and big white teeth.
