Chapter 26 The Hidden Secrets in the Staples(2/2)
The light seemed to memorize all the faces of the murderers in front of him, and he said word by word:
"You all want to die!!"
After he finished speaking, the man's eyes widened, he screamed, fell on his back, and then died.
The captain of the Sanlibu cavalry who led the team sneered, waved casually, and threw a few torches up, lighting the surrounding bamboo buildings as if they were burning candles. Then they were satisfied.
Continue to ride forward and check the bamboo building in front of you.
However, just a dozen breaths after these people left, a "buzzing" sound suddenly came from the air.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a black and white Suga messenger flying out of the dark night sky. This Suga messenger hovered over the body of the man in black and white robes for a while, seeming to hesitate, but in the end he still
fell down.
During the process of falling, the Soga Messenger actually emitted a red light, just like a red-hot iron block, giving people a shocking feeling, and then he aimed at the man's body and fell down.
.When this man died, he sprayed blood and his mouth was open. After the Soga Messenger fell down, it slipped directly and silently into his throat.

At this time, Lin Fengjin, under the guard of Red Cavalry, had arrived at the important grain depot guarded by the Dongguo Allied Forces. The place had been doused with kerosene and set on fire. The area of the fire scene was at least hundreds of meters.
The intensity of the fire was astonishing. It was noisy and roaring. It was even more than ten meters high. You could see hot fumigation coming from a hundred meters away.
In such a huge fire, let alone just food, even the steel dolls would be burned if they rushed in! Fortunately, there is always some scattered food here. Knowing that Lin Fengjin was coming, someone had already collected it.
Several sacks of different sizes were placed in front of Lin Fengjin's horse.
Lin Fengjin jumped off his horse and immediately noticed the difference between the grain bags. He poked it with a dagger, twisted his fingers and said:
"This bag is much stronger than the sacks we use to carry grain, and it is more moisture-proof! What is this thing made of?"
No one present could answer the question, but both Zhang Lei and Lang Tu knew what was going on. There were not many of them at this time, and there were the most prisoners. Just grab any one and ask. Lin Fengjin soon got the answer.
:
"It's cattails. The food bags made from cattail ropes are very strong and moisture-proof. If it hadn't been directly flooded by sea water this time, there would never have been such a large-scale wet scene. The most important thing is that the fragrance
After the cattails are dried, there is still a faint fragrance. This fragrance not only adds to the fragrance of the food, but also drives away the borers. Even after the food inside is eaten up, the bags made of cattail ropes can be used for feeding
horse."
Lin Fengjin then asked the prisoner:
"Then do you also use these cattail bags when you buy rice for your family?"
The prisoner shook his head and said:
"I can't afford it. The cost of cattail bags is too high. The young leaves of cattails can be picked for cooking and eating from the spring. It takes until July and August for the leaves to grow enough to be used to twist ropes, but in July and August
It's the rainy season, and if you want to harvest cattails, you have to go into the swamp, which is dangerous and very labor-intensive."
This prisoner was also a clever man. When he saw that everyone seemed to understand, he stammered and added:
"The environment in which cattails grow is similar to that of lotus and rice. However, as long as there is a suitable place, it must be planted with rice instead of cattails. Therefore, most cattails are wild. If you want to cut the thick leaves of cattails, you must step on them with bare feet.
You have to get into the mud, then bend down and grope in the water to cut off the cattail leaves from the petiole. In this case, harvesting enough leaves to make bags is much more tiring than harvesting rice."
When he said this, the people in Sanlibu still didn't understand much, but Lin Fengjin understood what he meant.
After learning this, Lin Fengjin smiled at the people around him and said:
"My ancestors have been in the grain store business for several generations, so they are quite familiar with this aspect. That's why I asked so casually. However, it can be seen from a young age. Since this cattail bag is not commonly used, it means that
Someone made this specially for this war! It seems that the coalition forces of the Eastern countries have an amazing logistics manager, who can actually make so many articles on the rice bags! Do you know who is there?
Manage logistics and baggage?”
The prisoner said hurriedly:
"Sir, all the logistics and baggage this time have been handed over to Lord Crow Guice, one of the eight ghosts under His Highness Tianlu. The person in charge of the logistics and baggage of our fleet should be Lord Crow Guice's disciple."
Lin Fengjin said to Lang Tu:
"Write down this name. If you encounter him on the battlefield, attack him first. If caught, give him a chance to surrender. If he agrees immediately, kill him! If he hesitates for more than ten breaths, kill him too!
"
Lang Tu nodded, as if the name Crow Guice had been engraved on his heart.
Next, Lin Fengjin put his hand into the damaged grain bag, then grabbed a handful of grain, watching the black beans falling from his fingers like a waterfall, squinting his eyes and saying:
"These are all top quality."
Then Lin Fengjin opened another bag and found that it was filled with something called "Sustainable Grain". This kind of grain is very similar to millet, but the taste is not to mention, even if it is too much.
If you add a lot of water to steam it, or even make porridge, it will taste like raw rice. No matter how much you chew it, your throat will be cut when you swallow it, as if you are eating chaff.
This thing is similar to the "barnyard grass" in the rice fields. Since it has so many shortcomings, why should it be used as military rations? Because people say that one good thing can cover up all the ugly things.
The advantage is that it is easy to feed, and the yield is even double that of the most productive rice!
"Maps eat better than people." Lin Fengjin said leisurely.
Then, he asked the prisoner:
"What is your usual supply?"
The prisoner sighed and said:
"When I was on the ship, I ate two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. The morning meal was Suyuhe porridge, and the evening meal was a Suyuhe rice ball. After I came to work on land, the morning meal became Suyu
For rice balls, you can have a bowl of rice soup at noon, and two rice balls at night. If you are lucky, there will be a plum or a piece of fish in the rice balls."
Lin Fengjin said:
"Besides Susunhe, aren't there any other staple foods?"
"Yes, black beans are used to fatten horses." The prisoner said numbly: "It said that your Central Plains are full of white rice and wealth. When the weather gets hot, we can eat fragrant white rice.
It’s rice.”
Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"Did anyone steal horse feed?"
"Of course, but if you are caught, your stomach will be cut open and the internal organs will be used as bait." At this point, the prisoner was very frightened and obviously thought of something bad.
Langtu snorted coldly:
"I have never seen the world. Even if we are slaves here, as long as we work hard, we can have white rice to eat and milk from cows and goats to drink."
Lin Fengjin broke three more bags in succession, and found that the staple food among the allied forces of the East China Sea countries was black beans for horses, and suzhou grass for ordinary soldiers, but at this time, the prisoner probably also saw it.
He took the initiative and said timidly:
"Actually, the army also carries a kind of food, which is Koshihikari Renwu rice for nobles and priests to eat. However, it should not be available here, because the food brought ashore at this time is all placed in the bottom tank and destroyed by the sea water.
