Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

Chapter 63 63. Sorghum
Hui also left, and Zhang Qi sat alone in the yurt, thinking whether he should return to the world of riding and cutting to bring out a batch of supplies.

It is not enough to rely on meat alone to raise soldiers, but also needs enough carbon water. He still has more than 500 million dinars in his hand, which is more than 5 catties if converted into a take-out amount.

Of course, the [-] is not enough to feed everyone in the camp for a few days, but if it is only used to feed a thousand-man army, combined with meat, it will be enough for a long time.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qi took out a piece of cloth and began to write.

According to the observations in the past half month, the average daily food for these people is about one and a half catties. Of course, this is only when Zhang Qi is generous. The food consumption of the sky is more than a catty.

"In the past, many things were done simply for the purpose of 'grazing the valley'. Now that I have free time, if the nutrition is well balanced, the food consumption should be reduced."

Holding a charcoal pen, Zhang Qi wrote on the cloth: "Half catty of meat, four taels of grain, two eggs, and a cup of fresh milk of about [-] milliliters in the morning and evening is enough."

While writing, Zhang Qi thought for a while and added: "Before the formation of the army, the Huotou army must be established first. It should be better to have a dedicated cook than to let those people do it themselves."

The army that Zhang Qi plans to form is already full-time soldiers in various senses. To put it bluntly, Zhang Qi will be responsible for their food and clothing from now on.

And the most important thing now is to raise the bones of these former slaves and low-level nomads. He can't be stingy about food.

High oil and high salt is the premise.

All kinds of stir-fried and stewed dishes frequently appeared in Zhang Qi's mind.

"There's sugar!"

Zhang Qi thought of a big killer. Needless to say, the role of sugar, this thing is definitely very useful in nourishing the body, but the question now is where does the sugar come from?
Thoughts were flying, Zhang Qi couldn't help looking at the world of riding and hacking.

Now he can think of two things that can produce sugar, one is wheat, and maltose is also sugar, but the production process is a bit cumbersome, and the other is the sorghum that was traded from various tribes.

"Yes, sorghum poles!"

Zhang Qi instantly thought of sorghum. When he was a child, he gnawed a lot of sorghum stalks, and the sweet taste was only a little worse than sugar cane.

"However, the sorghum stalks can't produce white sugar, and can only produce syrup if the sky is the limit, but this is enough."

Zhang Qi recorded on the cloth that people who have lived in the countryside are generally familiar with boiling sugar. Even if they really don’t know how to do it, they can do it a few more times. Boiling sugar is the key.

After writing and drawing on the cloth, Zhang Qi entered the world of riding and chopping with the cloth and a bag of sorghum rice after he had written all the things he had to do.

He hadn't tried growing outside crops before, and he didn't know if it would work.

Return to the camp near Chaikan.

The current camp of the world of riding and cutting has also changed its appearance. Zhang Qi built a log city by the riverside that was originally planned as a logging camp.

It's not big, with an area of ​​about two acres, all of which are surrounded by logs.

The reason why he moved out was that as Zhang Qi wanted to do more and more things, the space in Chaikan City became narrower. He didn't want to be warned by the guards when he fiddled with it, so he simply moved out.

Of course, Suojiaer and some NPC soldiers still stayed in Chaikan City, the blacksmithing continued, and Zhang Qi did not put down the cash machine in the arena.

Inside the wall are piles of fur yurts. The camp is very empty, but there are all kinds of exercise equipment, such as iron locks for strengthening strength, stone hammers, plum blossom stakes for training attention, and Many Zhang Qi saw exercise equipment from various videos.

He doesn't know what works and what doesn't, but it doesn't matter, it's time to try in the world of mount and hack.

There is an area surrounded by wooden fences outside the camp, some of which breed chickens, ducks and geese that Zhang Qi found from various villages, and some are his experimental nurseries.

As for why a fence is used to block it, it is naturally to stop some unsightly robbers and robbers.

"Mr. Wolf!"

Seeing Zhang Qi's sudden appearance, the wolf cubs were already familiar with it. After saying hello, they continued to go about their business.

There are also many things in the camp in the world of riding and hacking. In addition to training these wolf cubs, they are also responsible for taking care of crops, making bows and arrows.

In addition to these, Zhang Qi even built a blacksmith's shop in the camp of the world of riding and cutting, to make some things that cannot be produced in the system's blacksmith's shop.

It's just that after more than a year in the world of riding and cutting, Zhang Qi has only figured out how to melt iron, and is still groping for forging.

"Hu Jiu!"

Inside the camp, Zhang Qi shouted.

"To!"

Not long after, a crisp female voice rang out among a group of wolf cubs who were training.

A girl with some freckles ran over and stood at attention in front of Zhang Qi.

"Mr. Wolf!"

Zhang Qi threw the bag of sorghum on his shoulder in front of Hu Jiu.

"You find a place to reclaim a piece of farmland for the things in it."

Hu Jiu had injured her wrist before, and Zhang Qi treated her personally, so I had the impression that when he needed to plant something later, Hu Jiu was in charge.

"Yes!"

Hu Jiu quickly gave a military salute, and then ran out of the camp carrying the bag of sorghum.

This area has always been where Zhang Qi cuts wood, so there is a lot of open space around, and the nursery that was previously cultivated in Chaikan has now moved here.

Therefore, when it comes to reclaiming farmland, don't go too far.

Watching Hu Jiu leave, Zhang Qi beckoned, and a dozen or so Kusaite heavy-armored riders guarding the log city wall followed Zhang Qi.

It took less than ten minutes to arrive at Chaikan from the Log Walled City. After entering the city, Zhang Qi started to sweep the goods at the merchant.

A bag of grain was fifty catties, and he bought two hundred bags at once, and directly emptied the grain in the chai kan.

Two hundred sacks of grain weigh [-] jin, and taking them out for military training can last a month.

After purchasing the grains, Zhang Qi stacked them together, and then went to the blacksmith's shop to forge the materials that Sokal smelted during this period.

After getting Jieying Huqin, Zhang Qi never left the surrounding areas of Chaikan, and he handed over all the work of running the business to Huqin.

When Cao Cao arrived, just after Zhang Qi finished making a batch of two-handed swords, Huqin's figure appeared at the door of the blacksmith's shop. Zhang Qi knew that she was here to get the goods.

[Silonica's army rebelled against their lord! 】

Just as Zhang Qi handed over a batch of bundled two-handed swords to Hutching, a message popped up in his lower left corner of vision caught Zhang Qi's attention.

"Rebel City!!"
