Chapter 163 Dried fish

"It's early for Uncle Chen."

According to the strategy set by Jiang Sheng before leaving, tomorrow will be the day when the army will detect the island. Liu Yan came to Mr. Chen's house at the foot of the mountain early to check the military rations for this time.

Nowadays, the heat in the mountains is hot, and ordinary food is easy to rot. The best military rations are rice cakes that have dried up water and the jerky fish here by Mr. Chen.

Now in the entire force, only Mr. Chen has successfully raised the fish species from Huaguoshan here. The fish meat is of extremely high quality. Only half a dried fish can prevent soldiers from hunger for two days. This is the result of countless experiments made by the adults these days.

As long as the species in Huaguoshan can be eaten, the energy generated is not comparable to ordinary food. After the soldiers eat what they have, regardless of their mental state or practice effect, they are not comparable to ordinary food. The durability of fullness is also very exaggerated.

Liu Yan tried it herself. If she didn't use her skills but didn't consume too much, Mr. Chen's yellow croaker here would make her not hungry for a day.

That's it myself. Now I am full of energy and consume a lot of money. For ordinary food, she has to eat ten kilograms of tendon meat and more than twenty mountain potatoes to barely maintain the needs of a day. Therefore, the fish here of Mr. Chen is not only a special supply of grain for the military, but also the best military ration for traveling in the future.

"Oh, Lord Liu is here?" Old Master Chen smiled and greeted him. Compared to the previous few months, the old man's complexion was obviously much better. His face was flushed, and his eyes were no longer as turbid as the old man. It was much brighter. In just three or four months, it gave people a feeling that he was at least ten years younger!

Liu Yan knew that it was because the other party often fed yellow croaker, and his two daughters-in-law became more and more charming under the conditioning of yellow croaker. This is the privilege of farmers.

"Hello, old man." Liu Yan greeted him politely. Mr. Chen rarely goes out in power, but his status is not low. Everyone knows that he has a close relationship with Jiang Sheng. Moreover, among the farmers, he is the only one who has successfully raised yellow croakers. Several other farmers have already raised several batches of fish fry. They are important strategic talents.

"Okay, okay," the old man smiled and said, "Did Lord Liu come to see the dried fish?"

"This time, the risk of going to the island is not small, and I dare not neglect the major military rations."

"Sir, what the adult said" the old man nodded: "Sir, come with me."

On the way, the old man said, "Sir, the marriage between Luo Lin and Huijuan has been set. Just next month, everyone in the village will know that this time he insists on going to survey with the adults. I hope he will take care of him along the way, so I can't let my child become a widow again."

The old man spoke very little, obviously he didn't want his daughter-in-law who was weaving cloth in the distance to hear it.

"Don't worry, old man." Liu Yan nodded: "Liu Yan will definitely bring back the soldiers of the adults intact."

"That's good, that's good." The old man nodded.

As he said that, he took the other party to the backyard. At this time, the backyard was drying with slices of dried fish. The old man picked up a piece and handed it to Liu Yan and said, "Old man, I marinated them according to the recipe left by the lord. To be honest, the lord's recipe has too high salt content, and the air-dried method is special, dry and spicy. Such a good fish is completely wasted. Now it is approaching the scorching heat, and in such a hot day, can the soldiers eat such dry fish?"

Liu Yan took the dried fish, took a bite, frowned slightly, it was indeed salty, but then nodded and said, "What the lord wants is this effect. The fish here is so good, and soldiers are prone to greed. This kind of military ration must be saved. Moreover, the key to salt and pepper can only withstand the humid and hot areas in the mountains. We are exploring along the river, with enough water, and just eating it with water. There is nothing to eat. The soldiers cannot even bear this hardship. How can we fight in the future?"

"It's still hard to be a soldier," the old man sighed: "In the future, let the two kids study honestly."

Liu Yan laughed and said, "Although the suffering is bitter, there are the most opportunities. If a man is capable and fights in the army, he will have the opportunity to fight for his descendants!"

The old man was stunned, and then his face was complicated: "The lord is thinking harder and bigger."

Liu Yanzi did not continue to say that, bent down and checked the pickled dried fish.

"I heard that there are some experimental fields on the top of the mountain, and some special grains are being planted?" Mr. Chen followed behind and suddenly asked.

"Well, that's the case." Liu Yan randomly picked up a few pieces of dried fish and smelled it and replied.

"Actually, I'm interested in growing those fresh things, old man," Mr. Chen rubbed his hands.

When Jiang Sheng asked him to raise new fish in the past, he was a little resistant. He was not interested in fresh food and precious fish species. The main reason was that Jiang Sheng protected the media at that time, so he reluctantly agreed.

But now it is becoming more and more popular. The fish they raise are now popular all over the village knows that many people have already booked the fish in the second half of the year to order a fish they have snatched their scalp.

Seeing that he was so popular, several farmers were thinking about opening a fish pond, but the lord didn't refuse. However, the villagers had no experience. The other party had completely different effects in the same breeding formula. After raising several batches of fish fry, they all died. Now they missed the spring plowing. If the lord had not given some subsidies, those guys would probably not be able to afford to eat now.

Now that I heard that I had made new things on the top of the mountain, Mr. Chen immediately became interested.

"Those things are very troublesome," Liu Yan sighed: "Just like the fish raised by the old man, it is very expensive and needs special care. You see it too. It is also raising fish. Now you can only raise them in the village. Others lack breeding experience. The newly grown things on the top of the mountain are extremely delicate. Even the experienced old farmers cannot raise them. They have to take care of them personally. Master Huang from Luban College takes care of them. You should just calm down."

"I haven't tried it yet, how do you know that old man, I can't do it?" Old Master Chen immediately said angrily.

"When my lord comes back, I will help you ask for some seeds for you." Liu Yan said helplessly.

"Hehe, okay!" The old man immediately smiled happily.

"But I've agreed in advance," Liu Yan sighed: "If you fail to plant, you can't waste the seedlings all the time. Those seedlings are not cheaper than your fish fry."

"The old man knows, the old man knows," the old man said with a smile.

"In fact, in terms of breeding and planting, Luban College has specialized disciplines to cultivate specialized talents and specializes in technical difficulties. If the old man is interested, he can send his children to study."

"Luban College?" The old man was stunned and shook his head: "That's not a place to train foreman? No, no, old man, my grandsons are all officials, so I can't do that."

Liu Yan: "."

It seems that the lord's idea of ​​wanting to enrich Luban Academy in a short period of time is unrealistic, so it's fine if ordinary people don't. People like Mr. Chen and Mr. Hong from the blacksmith shop are all people who are doing well on the island by craftsmanship, but even so, they all want their children to take the orthodox route.

Obviously, in everyone's mind, studying is the most promising thing to do.

To be honest, Liu Yan thought so too. If she had children, she would definitely send them to academies like Donghua or Tiance. Even if she was sent to the School of Finance and Economics or the School of Justice, although her path was a bit off, she would become an official and take the civil service route after she came out. Luban College? Where to cultivate craftsmen’s knowledge? I’m afraid most people are not very interested.

Speaking of which, Shanshan's child was a little ruthless yesterday. Is it okay today?

Liu Yan thought that the other party was not far away, so after checking the dried fish, she stood up and said goodbye, and walked quickly towards the southwest agricultural area.

It was noon at this time, and Liu Yangang smelled a scent of vegetables outside Meng Jiao's house. When she walked in, she found that her house was quite lively. In addition to Shanshan and Meng Jiao, there were also Madam Sun who cooked dishes, as well as Madam Sun's husband and child Tiger Baby.

"Mr. Liu is here?" Meng Jiao quickly stood up from the rocking chair. Liu Yan glanced at the other party indifferently: "If you are not in good health, take a rest, don't get up and perform those false gifts."

Meng Jiao was stunned, then smiled embarrassedly: "It makes me worry."

Liu Yan didn't look at her directly, but looked at Shanshan, who also wanted to stand up from the rocking chair. Yesterday, Meng Jiao took the child to Tiance Courtyard and said that her body had not yet recovered and she could let the child exercise first.

This woman is very good at it, and obviously she can see that she has special empathy for the little girl.

"Does your feet hurt?" Liu Yan looked at Shanshan who wanted to stand up on the chair, walked over and held the other person and asked.

"It hurts" Shanshan looked at Liu Yan with some grievance. She was obviously much better than before, and everyone knew she was acting coquettish.

"This is the first day. I'll get used to it after practicing for a few days." Liu Yan replied dryly, but her hands gently kneaded the other person's little feet: "Stay rest today and continue tomorrow."

"Ah?" Shanshan's little face suddenly wrinkled and she said carefully: "I'll just take a day off."

"Then do you want to rest for another month?" Liu Yan asked with a glaring look.

"Woo" Shanshan pursed her mouth and did not dare to speak.

"Sir. The child is still young, can it bear it?" Meng Jiao asked carefully.

Liu Yan: "If I can bear it, I will judge if I can't hurt my daughter."

"Sir. I don't mean that." Meng Jiao quickly explained.

Liu Yan was too lazy to pay attention to the other party. Meng Jiao was very thoughtful and she didn't like it very much, but the child she gave birth was too similar to her former child.

"If you practice well, let you ride a horse." Liu Yan said while rubbing the child's feet.

"Really?" the little girl was surprised.

The adults next to him looked speechless, and the child's face became faster than the weather!

"That." The lady Sun next to him said carefully: "Sir, please help me see the tiger baby. Is he qualified to enter the Tiance Academy?"

After returning, she talked with Huwa and his son many times. Huwa is stubborn and seems to have decided to be a soldier. Moreover, the doctor came a few days ago and she was pregnant. It seems that it is not impossible to let Huwa practice martial arts now, but after asking, she suddenly found that there seemed to be many children who signed up for the martial arts academy.

Adults are now open to the Tiance Academy martial arts competition. Those adults are often excited to watch, let alone those children. There are many children on the island who yearn for joining the army.

This made her a little anxious, and her Hu Zi didn't know if she could make it.

Liu Yan rubbed Shanshan's feet and didn't even raise her head. She said coldly: "Do you have the qualifications? When the adults come back, the martial arts academy will be opened. Your child will try it out."

The couple immediately looked at each other. It seemed that Lord Liu had no interest in his own tiger baby.
