Chapter 64

In many cases in Jiaozhou, unless it is the main roads that are often walked, the mountain roads will disappear when you walk.The rain in the south is relatively abundant. If no one walks a road for a year, the vegetation will quickly cover it.

After leaving Dongxing County, head east, and soon the road ahead will disappear.So for this expedition, Yang Xiong, who was in charge of playing the striker, had another task, which was to open the way in front of the army!
The one-thousand-blade shield soldiers immediately became lawn mowers, opening the way ahead with axes and sickles.Fortunately, people have been sent out to investigate at the beginning, and it is not untraceable.But in this way, the forward speed is really bad. It can only advance less than ten miles in one morning, and the Chinese army and the vanguard army are exchanged halfway, otherwise the vanguard army is estimated to lose their combat effectiveness.

"The weather is getting hot, and we can't march at noon and Weishi. Considering the problem of sunset, we can advance for an hour at Shenshi at most!" Therefore, after being recruited by Shihui, he mainly served as a civilian officer accompanying the army. He was not considered a military strategist, but an ordinary strategist.

"In Jiaozhou, this is the only way to go!" Shi Hui looked at the increasingly fierce sun in the sky, and nodded in agreement.

At this moment, there are already soldiers going to the surrounding water sources to fetch water, but according to the instructions of the soldiers, the water brought back must be boiled before it can be used.In the fresh water in the south of the Yangtze River, even in the Yangtze River Basin, there are many parasites.

However, people these days probably don't have the concept of this.It's just a legend that some villages suddenly got the 'big belly disease', and then the whole village died.

"The boiling hot water is scalding to death, how do you drink it?" Yang Xiong gulped down the water in his leather bag and complained to Shi Hui.The weather is already unbearably hot, and drinking boiled water makes it impossible to live.

"Not to mention that you can put it in a cowhide bag, and drink it after it cools down! Just talk about this problem, just add some ingredients!" Shi Hui smiled, took out a clay pot, and took out a handful of tea in it pink.

It's a pity that he couldn't experiment with fried tea, but made it with matcha.Originally, matcha was first created in China. Fried tea originated in the middle and late Ming Dynasty and reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty, but matcha appeared in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

The craftsmanship is not difficult, so Shi Hui asked someone to make a batch, took a spoonful of boiling water, put it into a tea bowl, stirred it well, and handed it to Yang Xiong.The latter wanted to take a sip, but it was hot, so he could only taste it slowly, but it tasted a bit better in the end.

"This tea...is not bad!" Although Yang Xiong's family is in the wine business, they also have some research on tea.However, the tea powder of Shihui obviously has a very special process and is not a common method of cooking tea.

"Seiko makes fine work, I only have one pot of this thing!" Shi Hui smiled, and it was obvious that Yang Xiong was thinking about it, but there are not many wild tea trees, so I collected a batch as needed, and then spent a lot of effort The matcha made cannot be given away.

Speaking of which, he, a time traveler, can be regarded as bitter. Others climbed the technology tree before dawn, and quickly entered the industrial age.All kinds of handicrafts, luxury goods, and tea are already sold out, and it is extremely difficult for him to find a batch of tea trees here.

After asking, I found out that Dahan has no habit of planting tea trees. After all, eating is a problem, and tea is only used in the upper class. The folks use it as medicine, so if there is no demand, there will be no market. Who will plant it in large quantities?
Not to mention how much green tea can be roasted out of a large basket of tea leaves after roasting, not to mention that black tea and oolong tea still need to be fermented, which requires a certain amount of craftsmanship and exploration.

Shi Hui can make such a small can of matcha, but he can find a way to drink it by himself.

However, he would not treat ordinary soldiers badly, so he sent someone to bring a batch of Kudingcha tea leaves, and threw them into the pot to boil.This thing is distributed in the north and south of the river, but it is easier to find than other teas.

It doesn't need to be too much, a handful can cook a big pot, and it doesn't need to be too thick, but the taste is coming up.Give each person a small bowl, drink it into your mouth, and a bitterness will sweep over your mouth.Just when she was about to complain, she suddenly became eloquent, and a sweet aftertaste swept over her.

At the same time, hot sweat evaporated all over his body, and he felt that the pores all over his body opened in an instant, and the heat in his body gushed out quickly.When I came back to my senses, I just felt that it was not so hot anymore.

"In the later generations, when the weather is hot, they will hide in the air-conditioned room. They would rather eat ice, but they are afraid of hot tea. But they don't know that drinking hot tea is the way to cool off on a hot day. Hiding in the air-conditioned room to eat Ice, the humidity will kill you!" Shi Hui took a sip of the matcha tea, it was bitter and sweet at the same time, it was good tea, and it deserved to be made by himself.

"This tea, Brother Hui has a trick to drink!" Yang Xiong is not used to drinking Kuding tea, but he misses the matcha powder.However, Shi Hui didn't give it to him, so he had no choice but to pour a pot of Kuding tea into the cowhide bag.

"Why don't you drink tea? Tea can promote body fluids and quench thirst, reduce fire and clear heat, regulate the stomach, and relieve acclimatization. In the future, we will go to the Central Plains. The climate there will inevitably be uncomfortable for southerners, so we need to bring more tea. It was in the past!" Shi Hui smiled lightly, but he made up his mind to plant more tea in Dongxing, such as the original Yue people's village, which is very suitable.

The fact that the Han people traded tea with the grassland people does not mean that they lack vitamins or some other factors, so it is not good for defecation.Only because the grassland peoples migrate frequently, tea can help them alleviate the problem of acclimatization, which can become their necessities. Otherwise, before the Tang Dynasty, wouldn't the Hu people of all dynasties live in endless pain?
At least Shihui has never heard that the Huns and Xianbei in the north have the habit of drinking tea, and I have never heard of the situation that the tribe "is finished because there is no tea for a long time".

"The Central Plains is so far away, why do we go north?" Yang Xiong obviously couldn't make the turn.In his opinion, there are so many Yue people and barbarians in Jiaozhou to deal with, so why go north to the Central Plains?

"Jiaozhou is having a good time here!" Shi Hui smiled lightly when he heard the words, "But after all, the Central Plains is the orthodox! Even if we became local emperors in Jiaozhou, in the eyes of the scholars in the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty, we are no better than those ordinary people. Where to go. Besides, a mere Jiaozhou can't satisfy me!"

Shi Hui showed his ambition for the first time, just because the people around him at the moment are all his own people.The point is, he also gradually possessed the strength to realize his ambitions!
"Brother Hui is also true. So what if you are the emperor in Jiaozhou? I often hear that among the aristocratic families in the Central Plains, there are welcomes and send-offs every day, and they are always full of intrigues. Jiaozhou is so good. If you like it, you can like it, no If you like it, you don't have to like it!" Yang Xiong shrank his head.

"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. There are some things you can't escape, so you can only adapt to them. Unless you have the ability to make rules, you can make others compromise with you!" Shi Hui took out his palm, and then slowly clenched it.

"You are an adult, you have the final say!" Yang Xiong didn't intend to argue with Shi Hui. At this moment, he knew very well that he seemed to be following an extraordinary person.

 Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!
