780 The Adventures of Bahia

Popular recommendations:

There are more than 300 miles west of El Salvador, the open space left after the forest is cut down, and there are countless teams carrying timber through it.

Desera and his party were one of them. Their first day seemed to be quite smooth. Except for the occasional teams that went to pull wood in the afternoon, they did not meet anyone else.

Even if these timber transport teams meet, they will not stop and chat enthusiastically. Everyone seems to be very tired and have no intention of talking. Even if they pass by in person, they just nodded slightly and are too lazy to say a word.

This is naturally a good thing for Desera and the others, because only one person in their team can speak French, and it will be troublesome if they stop and chat with them.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong along the way until the sun set and the team in front stopped to make the rice. They stopped and prepared to start the meal.

This meal naturally needs to be more plentiful, because everyone is not full at noon.

However, they couldn't figure out how many days of meat these ten sheep were.

If calculated by the amount, the meat, bones and internal organs of these ten sheep are at least seven or eight hundred kilograms. Even if they can eat these 50-plus "French infantrymen", they can eat at most five kilograms in one meal.

Under normal circumstances, adding some soup and corn on the cob, it is enough to have two or three pounds of mutton per person at a meal.

In other words, these ten sheep are likely to be their two-day meat meal.

Problem, if we count as thousands of people, it would be great if each person could eat half a pound of these ten sheep.

Can half a pound of mutton be considered a full meal for each person?

They are all strong men, and they have been tired for a day. After a few bites of half a pound of mutton, they will be gone and they will not be full at all.

What to do?

Desera, Desilau discussed with the team leader Jinyiwei Baihu for a while, but decided.

All the lamb chops were chopped, stewed on nine pots of corn on the cob, and the whole lamb was skewed on, and then grilled. Then take a bag of jerky and stewed on a pot of soup.

Anyway, they brought a hundred bags of jerky, and the empty space inside the mezzanine was stuffed with corn cobs. Even if they didn't have meat to replenish on the road, they wouldn't be hungry.

Soon, hundreds of Jinyiwei elites began to chop lamb chops, cut lamb, and prepare barbecue sauce.

Others set the pot, light the heat, stew the corn cob and beef jerky first, and then they found a branch as thick as a finger, sharpened it and prepared the barbecue.

This meal did make them delicious, but after the meal, the scene had to be cleaned up.

Those sheep bones, corn cobs, etc. cannot be thrown directly on the ground, because the slaves in other teams basically chewed the corn cobs and swallowed them.

As they walked over, they had never seen corn cobs on the ground, nor did they see sheep bones.

So, they had to dig a hole and bury these things.

When sleeping at night, Desera and others did not have to take turns on duty. Instead, the elite Jinyiwei soldiers pretending to be slaves were taking turns on duty.

Early the next morning, they followed the team in front of them again.

However, after only more than an hour of travel, they found a farm on the side of the road ahead, and the team in front had not turned in yet.

Next, there was a farm that started to grow, almost every few miles, either on the left side of the road or on the right side of the road.

It seems that the anti-Habsburg Alliance army is preparing to station here for a long time, otherwise so many farms would not have been built.

The leader of the Jinyiwei Baihu knew this when he saw this.

Next, it was almost noon again, and the team in front finally entered a farm. This time they wanted another cow and more than ten chickens.

You guys don’t give them to prisoners. With so much meat, dozens of people will not eat you to death!

It seems that these French infantrymen are the masters in this colony and eat whatever they want.

Seeing this, the leader of the Jinyiwei Baihu thought about it carefully, and then said to Dexilao: "This time you go up and get close to someone else's condom,

Ask someone what they planted."

He wanted to understand the harvest situation of others. After all, there must be something wrong with others having opened so many farms and not giving slaves food.

Thirty thousand infantrymen and less than ten thousand navy will definitely not be able to eat so much food. What are your extra food for?

If it is to grow grain and sell it for money, that is not right. After all, the area they opened is only one million acres of land at most. Compared with the tens of millions of land of the Indian tribe in North America, it is simply not worth a joke.

What's more, they have to eat a lot of them themselves, and the Portuguese here also have to eat a lot of them.

People have spent so much effort to earn hundreds of thousands of stones of grain, so they have to get their brains in water. It would be better to sell a few more ships of wood.

Desilau could not think of so much. He just nodded slightly and then asked, "Then what kind of meat should we order this time?"

The leader of the Jinyiwei Baihu thought about it for a while, and then said seriously: "You just want a few sheep and a few pigs from me, and you say you have a lot of appetite and can eat it very much, depending on how much they give you."

This is actually an indirect understanding of the income situation of others.

After all, these colonial robbers robbed money just for their own enjoyment.

If someone has too much income, he will naturally eat it and give it whatever he wants, and he will not care if he is wasted.

If you don’t have enough income, you must save some food.

In this case, the farmers here probably have to find ways to control the quantity. If they give them too much, the rest of the team will not be able to eat and others will not be able to hand over the bad.

Desilau didn't expect the meaning of asking about these things, he was just shocked by this number.

How many sheep and pigs?

These days, pigs are three or four hundred kilograms per head, and even if the internal organs are removed, there are more than two hundred kilograms of meat.

It would be great if these fifty people could finish a pig in one meal!

If you want so much, will people give it?

After the group entered the farm, Desilau once again cordially revealed his identity as half of the Portuguese, and the farmer was indeed so happy.

After he almost finished the trap, he pretended to be curious and said, "Every time I fight back and forth, I feel that there are a few more farms. What are you planting? Do you need so many farms?"

The farmer said without thinking: "This is not what we need, but Prince Condai needs. Not only did he ask us to plant sugarcane and corn, but he also asked us to try the planting of cocoa and coffee beans.

You know cocoa beans and coffee beans, that is very valuable.

Especially coffee beans are worth as valuable as gold."

Well, it turns out that these farms are also trying to grow cocoa and coffee beans in addition to growing sugarcane and corn, and finally found some useful news.

Desilao nodded slightly, then pretended to be full of expectations and said, "I want a few pigs and a few sheep, do you still have this?"

There is no way, the young man under my command is so edible. He asked for ten sheep yesterday and they were still not full."

This is simple, if you speak with your own people, then it’s hard to say.

Anyway, these pigs and sheep are not his, so he just keeps them on his behalf and helps others deal with them. If it is not enough, just let others give it to them.

The farmer here nodded without hesitation and said, "Some, some, you can wait."

Not long after, he brought people to them five pigs and five sheep.

Desilao was shocked when he saw this.

What a good guy, five pigs are more than a thousand kilograms of pork. If fifty people eat them in two meals, the fatty oil will make people tired of it.

Of course, he would not tell others about this. After they helped them handle it, they set off immediately.

This day really made them delicious. At noon, they stewed corn with pork ribs and had enough food. At night, they stewed meat, roasted pork, fried meat, plus mutton soup, roasted lamb, and grilled lamb chops. They even saved corn on the cob, and they were full of eating meat and drinking soup.

In the next few days, there were still continuous farms on both sides of the road, and there seemed to be no one else on the road except for the teams transporting timber.

This is really a bit strange. Are you not afraid of the Portuguese on these farms running away with slaves or embezzling various materials produced?

They found out after inquiring.

These Portuguese didn't dare to run at all, because the outer side was full of infantry from the Anti-Habsburg Alliance and men were cutting trees, so they couldn't run.

As for embezzling various produced materials, it is even more of a dream. Once the time for harvest of various crops comes, people will come to harvest them, and they can't even swallow a single piece of hair.

I have to say that the anti-Habsburg Alliance army played a very good move.

However, it is easy to make mistakes when playing like this.

For example, once a team like them spy on news comes in with an impersonation, it will be like entering a no-man's realm and no one cares about it at all.

They even thought that this trip could go back and pay for the job without any danger.

Who knew that when the convoy arrived less than a hundred miles away from El Salvador, a small river suddenly appeared in front of him. There was a small city opposite the river. On the other end of the stone bridge connecting the two sides, there was a large number of French infantrymen setting up checkpoints there to check the river.

After the front team crossed the bridge, the French infantry who set up checkpoints to inspect even ordered the convoy's slaves to carry all the wood out of the car and then check them one by one.

Desera and Desirau were shocked when they saw this.uu Reading www.uukanshu.com

The leader of the Jinyiwei Baihu was also secretly moaning in his heart.

Fortunately, they did not hide their weapons and equipment in the hollowed-out tree heart, otherwise, it would be over!

Question, how can this level be passed?

If they rashly come up and let others check, will they be exposed?

He observed carefully for a while but found that these French infantrymen who had set up signs seemed to be staring at the wood and inspecting it. Moreover, some of the wood was intercepted by them, and the slaves in the convoy in front were carried into the car and pulled into the city.

Then there was nothing. After the slaves who pulled the wood came back with the cart, the slaves of the entire fleet carried the remaining wood onto the cart, continued to set off, and pushed the remaining wood away!

What's going on?

No matter what happens, you have to cross the river!

They haven't found any important news these days. No matter what, they have to go to El Salvador to investigate.

If you want to go to El Salvador, you must cross this small river.

Seeing this, the leader of the Jinyiwei thought about it carefully, then waved his hand decisively: "Let's go, they should just want to intercept some of the wood. As for what to do withholding these wood, Desera, you pretend to be escorting us to push the wood into the city to investigate."

Well, it would be nothing if you just cut off a little wood.

Desilao quickly pretended to lead the convoy towards the stone bridge.

As a result, as soon as they crossed the river, they stopped them and asked them to carry all the wood out of the car, and then stared at the wood and carefully inspected it.
