The head of the village has been working hard to make up for the lessons recently. Since he didn't know the wild donkey, Hanhan explains extra knowledge to the people in the village every night.
When he saw a wild donkey, he could only say the word "donkey". He knew more than the guide, but he was limited by his personality. It was frustrating!
Everyone learned a lot of new knowledge, and the village leader knew what the brown soil was, which was second only to peat.
It's best to grow crops, but it's very troublesome to grow food crops in a place like this now, as there are no people around.
Given the terrain and soil conditions, the groundwater layer is usually not low. If you dig down for more than ten feet, you may enter the groundwater layer.
The team put things away, and the camels and horses ran out to find food for themselves. No matter how good the hay in the team was, it couldn't be as good as fresh.
The people in charge of managing the livestock in the team stood in various positions to prevent the camels and horses from running out of a certain area.
The well-drilling equipment was set up, the steam engine was humming, one pipe, two pipes, and water was visible.
"Awesome!" The guide was dumbfounded. Was he so accurate in choosing the place?
Put on the water pump and pump water.
The wild donkeys came closer to take a look when they were making the rack. They were probably wondering what this thing was and why it could plow through the water faster than themselves.
When the water pump pumped out water, they ran close and squeezed to drink the water that came out.
When the craftsmen took a look, they directly used Luoyang shovels and engineer shovels to dig a long ditch next to it and pour water there.
Leave a low position and let the water and soil flow out. Soon the water in the ditch will be clean.
The wild donkeys lined up and lowered their heads to drink water. The groundwater was clear and animals liked to drink it. Just because they could drink other water, it didn't mean they were willing to drink it.
The workmen continued to dig ditches, and horses and camels came running over.
The ditches were dug into a grid shape, and the animals stood in each grid, with water available from all sides.
"Seven point five, no problem." The little girl took the test paper to test the pH, and looked carefully with a magnifying glass to confirm that it was drinkable.
Someone else was cutting the grass and preparing to feed the horses again in the middle of the night.
Soak the beans in warm water, knead the noodles, and set out the hand-cranked dough press to prepare noodles.
Today I won’t cook the noodles in the water. I will make noodles with bacon, fungus and bamboo fungus in the water.
Other dried vegetables, such as shrimps and dried kelp, also need to be soaked. Anyway, they are all put in to make sautee.
The beans over there will be made into tofu, and some dry tofu will be made by the way. Dinner will obviously be very late, and soaking the beans will take up a lot of time.
Now the asphalt brought has a use. It is used to hold torches, and the asphalt torch is used in the lower position.
Lanterns, glass lamps and electric lights are used in other places. Today is a celebration.
Everyone is happy, Xiaqiu Village is very technologically advanced! In the desert, wells are said to be dug, and there are many unopened boxes on the cars in the village.
But at this time, two more car boxes were opened, which contained wires and light bulbs to increase the lighting range.
The well-drained wild ass ate something new, puffed food, sweet.
Zhu Wentian decided to bring the wild donkeys to Helin, and then use them to attract other wild donkeys, raise them, and slowly let them help with work.
They are better than horses in transportation, especially in the Great Gobi area, where wells are being dug now, and they can grow food, even oil crops.
As long as there are enough wild donkeys to pull carts and build a stone road, is it a problem for hundreds of miles?
He Lin had an army of 100,000 at this time and a road of 400 miles, or 200 kilometers. On average, one person could build a road two meters long and four meters wide.
There is gravel locally. How long will it take to build an eight-square-meter stone road? A month?
There is gravel locally. How long will it take to build an eight-square-meter stone road? A month?
This is true in theory, but not in practice. If you dare to plant crops, other animals will come over and eat them all for you.
When beans are available, wild asses also preferentially eat soybean seedlings, and they will not eat raw beans.
Anyway, it's right to let people build roads, and it's right to let wild donkeys help with transportation. Let's keep them first.
Sure enough, as soon as the puffed feed was fed, the wild donkeys even pushed the person who put the feed aside. Some wild donkeys finished eating their own and then looked for the person who put the feed, waiting for the other person to continue to take out the sack. Hurry up!
The guide was at a loss. What happened to the wild donkey he encountered this time? For the sake of stuttering, safety issues are not considered at all.
"The wild donkeys we met before hide away from people and are very wary." The young general was also puzzled.
There was a smile on Zhu Xi's lips: "I guess it's because the horses and camels in our team are well taken care of and are not in danger. We also give them water and grass, so they have more trust.
However, it is very troublesome to tame wild horses, but it is easy to tame wild horses. Once you tame them, feed them, and have some contact with other horses, you can use them.
In fact, it is a question of food. Especially in winter, it is difficult for wild horses to survive on the grassland. If people give them food, the horses are willing to follow people. "
Zhu Ping expressed his theory. He thought it was as simple as eating!
It was getting dark, so everyone built a fence specifically for the wild donkeys, and threw in a lot of shrubs and grass, and also added some salt.
The fence was next to a horse fence, and among them was the horse that had led them there.
The wild donkeys entered the fence through the gate. No one closed the door, so they happily continued to eat, illuminated by an electric light.
The donkeys first observed the environment. There were troughs with cut grass, salt and troughs.
With lighting, you can see the surrounding area and run away when in danger.
The wild donkeys entered the pit, no, entered the fence, and people finally ate the spicy noodles.
Zhu Xi took a bite of stir-fried shredded dried tofu with mung bean teeth and said: "Oh my God! This journey is really not easy. It's hard to imagine how the army came here."
He compared that there were people in his team who specialized in cooking, not to mention that Xiaqiu Village provided small stoves.
Whenever there is a problem on the road, Xiaqiu Village will take action to solve it. Xu Da's team definitely did not receive the same treatment, but they still rushed over and won the battle.
"It's not easy. Even if there are many oases in the summer, if we need to walk this way for a long time in the future, we will build a supply point and send people to guard it."
Zhu Biao recalled it and found that by building a small fort in some places, digging a few more wells, and transporting some good soil to grow vegetables, it could become a stable inn.
There is no way to build a road in the desert, but there is no problem in Gobi, desert, semi-desert and other places.
The last step is to cross a section of the desert, build a few more forts, provide water, maybe deceive some wild donkeys and wild camels, and kill other predators, such as wolves.
At the moment, thirty-three wild donkeys have entered the fence. There is no need to close the fence. They will follow again tomorrow.
"Let's have some braised pork. Hanhan's craftsmanship is still better. With the same materials, the braised braised pork they make is not as good as Hanhan's."
Zhu Cang drank a lot of braised food, but the braised food was not salty enough. In order to let everyone eat more vegetables, he deliberately made more braised food. Thickening the soup is braised food, and not thickening it is soup.
"Because they didn't control the glutinous rice flour well, they made it into a stewed tofu. It's like spicy soup. It takes a lot of effort to mix the noodles. The key is not to add water."
The manager knew what happened to the noodles the others ate. The noodles were too thick.
The glutinous rice made for Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi was made by the children in the village and made by hand.
"Okay, braised, eh! Hey hey hey!" Zhu Wentian opened a jar and filled it with shrimp oil side dishes. This one is salty and goes well with the steamed noodles.
