Chapter 647: A Blessing in Misfortune

In fact, just like transporting food to the army, less than half of the food can be transported because they have to eat themselves.

In order to save food, the grain delivery team has been holding on for a while on the mountain for a while, and basically shouting a piece of beef or mutton that is dry like wood, which is slowly softened by saliva. As long as there is a little smell in the mouth, it can deceive the stomach and insist on transporting more food to each base.

From having enough food to saving food, there is no complaint in life.

Chu Qing invested heavily in jade mining, not only grain, but also "Jade Liquid Nectar" wine.

Although it is already April, the mountains are still very cold. The miners live in tents and need to dig a ground nest first and then set the tent on it.

It's better during the day, but at night, the temperature drops to 30 days. Even if you wear a thick cotton jacket, it will be so cold that it will become stiff.

Everyone had to have more than a dozen people and dozens of people crowded in a tent to keep warm to each other. It was the hardest night to have a night. The boys had to drink a sip of strong wine to warm up before they could fall asleep.

In the difficult environment, we must unite and help each other to overcome difficulties. Xiaobao's gang members have really integrated in this severe living environment.

This year is destined to be another year of running around. Before leaving Vos, Chu Qing handed over the skills of making milk powder to Huang Zhong and Master Lu.

These two old men refused to go back with Chu Qing. They believed that they needed their help here, and there was another reason - the milk powder and milk slices were delicious.

The most original method is used to make milk powder. Use a shallow-mouth flat pot to boil milk, boil it slowly over low heat, stirring while boiling until it is as thick as thin as dough. Then apply them on the bottom of the washed and dried pan and wait for air-drying.

The grassland is windy and it will dry thoroughly for a while. Just grind it into powder.

You can't use a deep pot to heat it, otherwise it will turn into butter.

When grinding, put the powdered sugar in it, so the milk powder produced is fragrant and sweet, without the fishy smell of fresh milk.

Apart from waste fire, there is nothing wrong with it.

This leads to milk slices - sweet milk powder and milk blend into hard balls, rolling pin and then cutting them into small squares. Unfortunately, there is no mold.

There is also condensed milk - five portions of fresh milk and one portion of powdered sugar. Still boil it slowly over low heat and stir it slowly. If it becomes thicker, it will turn off the heat and let it cool.

In May, Chu Qing had to go back to Daxuan, and Xiaobao stayed to supervise the worker.

Chu Qing brought a small portion of the prepared milk powder, milk slices and condensed milk, which was for the emperor, and all the rest were handed over to Caiyu Team.

In early July, when the first batch of jade from the jade-picking team was transported to the transit warehouse, Ge Jingtai, who came to watch the fun, was stunned.

A pebbles paved road appeared in front of the transit warehouse, and there were a series of stalls next to the road, selling milk powder, bean sprouts, garlic sprouts and small vegetables.

There was also a box that was raised, and I don’t know what was contained inside, and many herdsmen were watching.

In front of the warehouse, many people took out the soaked jade raw stones from the pit of "race" and carefully removed the stones with chisels. There were also many large stones that had been opened with "windows", exposing a piece of jade as big as a palm.

Is this sent?!

Ge Jingtai is really here to watch the fun this time.

I heard that a few days ago, Chu Qing's mine encountered a mudslide, and it was a very serious mudslide, so the fourth prince sent him out to see the fun: "Go and see how many of the people who shave the ground were killed? Hahaha, is jade so easy to get?"

These days, the Fourth Prince was about to be furious. First, before the beginning of spring, Chu Qing's people dug three feet into the ground to get a lot of jade, and they all scraped the ground. They probably couldn't pick it up, right?

However, with the arrival of spring, the ice and snow melt and the river water thaw, you can directly pick up deep jade, and there are more deeper ones; in early summer, a large number of stones are swept down by floods, filling the river beach again, and new jade is washed down again.

After all, the Fourth Prince's mining area is relatively good. Even if it is not distributed to Chu Qing, it is only relatively speaking.

What does it mean? That is, the river beaches that pick jade are all downstream. Before the flood arrives every morning, you can pick jade when the flood disappears the day before; in summer, you can pick jade when the flood arrives late, and in autumn, you can pick jade all day long.

Originally, the water flow changed from rapid to slow, which was conducive to the accumulation of jade, but Chu Qing and others were digging downstream and digging three feet downstream, and the water flowed to the lower part. The impact force also caused the places where the jade could have been stopped to break free.

I won’t mention the jade in the river. Even if a group of people don’t die, the work will probably be suspended, right?

But what's going on now? Why are these old jades? They are all large pieces. Look, the stone skin is actually white jade with extremely delicate texture!

How could there be such a good white jade in that mountain? How is it possible?!

How impossible, nothing is impossible.

To be honest, these white jades were only available after Chu Qing left and Xiaobao personally went to the mountain.

Shortly after Chu Qing left, Yujing Mountain ushered in the first heavy rainfall, causing mudslides, blocking Xiaomu and his material transportation team at the foot of the mountain, and trapping the people on the mountain to get down.

Disasters such as water accumulation, landslides, landslides, and landslides caused by mudslides cannot be solved overnight.

Even if the people on the mountain are not in danger, they will face a situation of food loss.

They are all Xiaobao's gang members and students, and he, as the leader, must be responsible.

But the two old men didn't know. They just thought that the people from the disaster area came out to work. How could Xiaobao survive and die for them?

Xiaobao ignored Master Lu and Huang Zhong's dissuasion and insisted on going to rescue himself.

Xiaobao organized a suicide squad and personally led the team to carry food and go up the mountain to find people.

Fortunately, these young people are not fools, especially the young people with super survivability in the Salt Gang who have super survivability play a role in self-rescue. None of them died, and only some of them were injured.

Xiaobao's arrival played a great soothing role, and the food they carried up the mountain also made them persist for many days until the roads at the foot of the mountain were cleared and the grain transport team caught up.

It was during this period that Xiaobao found that he was washed by heavy rain, and a white and lush area was exposed on the landslide mountain. They dug holes near this area and placed gunpowder.

This was a painful process, because the mountain rocks were extremely hard and they could only be chiseled with a hammer and a little bit of a cannon hole. Five people could only chisel less than three feet deep in a day. Xiaobao went into battle himself, almost making himself tired.

When the stone flowed, the rocks around the jade layer were blown up, revealing a large area of ​​white jade of excellent texture.

They had previously expanded and dug at the place where the Fourth Prince originally mined, and they only obtained white jade of average quality, with more cracks and more cotton; but this time the jade layer exposed by the mudslide was actually of excellent texture!

It's a blessing in disguise!

The gang members privately concluded that cowhide is not bragging, Yujing Mountain is not piled up, Thunder God wants to show his power.
Chapter completed!
