The way the Langya Cave changed hands was very gentle.
There is no usual fighting and killing.
Some people even woke up to find that the cave master was still the same cave master, but there were two other masters who were more authoritative than the cave master.
Su Qi arranged for more than a dozen female relatives here to go to Xianyue Peak to learn how to sew warm clothes such as cotton-padded jackets from Xiao Yuehong.
She took out another stack of silver bills, which she had collected from the mandrill's warehouse.
Su Qi handed the banknotes to Wang Rufa, who had come to recognize his relatives. "You arrange for some people to go down the mountain with Zheng Suocuo's men to buy food. Don't buy out all the food in the same place, so as not to cause panic."
"Yes, Madam." Wang Rufa took the banknote and looked at it. It was worth a full ten thousand taels.
The food bought with these banknotes will probably last for a long time.
Zheng Suocuo arranged for his men to follow Wang Rufa's men down the mountain. "Little shrimp. Send someone to keep an eye on us, to make sure no other robbers steal our things."
In the underworld, it is common for gangs to rob each other.
Everyone makes a living based on their own abilities.
The little shrimp took the order and left.
Gu Beiheng watched everyone busy yet organized, and a fog welled up in his heart. He felt as if he had returned to the Northwest Army Camp, where there were still the two hundred thousand or three hundred thousand soldiers he missed so much.
Thinking of the coming cold weather, Gu Beiheng's heart moved. Gou Gangchang's heart was as thin as a needle hole, and he didn't care about the lives of those soldiers.
He asked Su Qi for the drawings of the clothes and the kang, and sent them to the military advisor in the northwest via Feiying.
He also asked the military advisor to use the silver and money from the banks in the northwest city to buy more cotton, furs and the like.
"Qiqi. We can build the dried meat processing factory you mentioned here." Gu Beiheng sat next to Su Qi and watched her writing and drawing on paper.
Su Qi raised her head and rubbed her eyebrows with her fingers.
"That's exactly what I was thinking. There are enough caves here in Langya Cave, so there's no need to build a factory for now. Some of us can dig a cellar to keep out the cold, and a few dozen more can cut bamboo and build a greenhouse to grow potatoes, sweet potatoes, and pumpkins."
Talked for a while.
Su Qi continued to draw the floor plan on paper.
Although the painting looked a bit weird, after a long and dry explanation, Gu Beiheng could understand it.
Another group of people were sent to hunt, and the prey they brought back was made into dried meat and meat sauce.
Su Qi got all the methods for making dried meat and meat sauce from the bookstore inside the supermarket.
She excerpted this part and asked Xia He to experiment.
During Xia He's experiment, she recorded all the methods.
Once the final production method is decided, it will be produced according to the final method.
Before Su Qi and Gu Beiheng set off, she asked Xia He for a secret recipe.
Su Qi asked Zheng Suocuo to call the chef Zheng Suodui from the kitchen. It was said that he was Zheng Suocuo's cousin from his hometown, who had committed a crime with him and ran away.
Now he's the boss of the kitchen.
I have loved studying food all my life.
Su Qi handed him the secret recipe in her hand, "Zheng Suo, can you make it for me according to these two secret recipes? If you can make it yourself, I won't ask someone to come and demonstrate. If you have any questions, I will send someone to guide you a few times."
Zheng Suo was stunned by the secret recipe.
I didn't come back to my senses until I heard what Su Qi said.
He slapped his thigh, showing his missing front teeth and laughed:
"Madam, how can you ask others for guidance on such a trivial matter? I have studied it thoroughly. Who is so capable?
According to what is said above, we don’t have to worry about the meat going bad in the summer.”
"This meat sauce has two flavors, one is five-spice and the other is spicy."
Su Qi pointed to the secret recipe for the meat sauce and said, "When the time comes, plant more chili peppers in the greenhouse. I'll contact the people in Mengjiazhuang to send over a sack of dried chili peppers. You guys have to find a way to be self-sufficient in the future."
She said she contacted Mengjiazhuang to send it, but in fact she just found a chance to take it out from the space.
As for carrying the sacks, leave it to Gu Beiheng.
As Su Qi spoke, she took out a can of spicy meat sauce and a small cloth bag of dried meat.
These were all prepared by Xia He.
Zheng Suo took it over, opened the small bag, and tried a piece of jerky. It was chewy and had a rich meaty flavor.
He opened the jar of spicy meat sauce and scooped some out with a spoon.
"Try it with steamed buns, or mix it with rice." Su Qi was afraid that he would find it too spicy for his first time.
Zheng Suo asked the errand boy to bring a steamed bun over. He smeared the spicy meat sauce on the bun and took a bite. Sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Wow, this smells terrible."
He opened his mouth, took a breath of cold air, and took another big bite.
“This tastes amazing.”
Zheng Suocuo went forward and tried it, fanning himself with his mouth.
But just as Zheng Suo had said, the taste was just too good to be true. As soon as he took a bite, the deadly spicy sensation rushed straight to his head.
One more bite, can’t stop.
"Wang Xiaohu, send fifty men out hunting." Zheng Suocuo ate his steamed bun in a few bites and took a piece of dried meat and threw it into his mouth. He shouted to the outside: "Fifty men are not enough, send me a few dozen more."
Su Qi was delighted. Building a meat jerky processing factory here would definitely bring in a lot of income.
"Zheng Suocuo, send someone to Xianyue Peak to tell Yue Qinggang that we have a business deal to discuss." Su Qi thought of the Yue family and could let Yue Qinggang's shop sell their dried meat and meat sauce.
"Tian Yougu, go to Xianyue Peak and invite Yue Qinggang over. Tell him that our wife has a great deal to discuss with him."
After some instructions were given.
A special passage will be built between Xianyue Peak and Langya Cave.
It is also convenient for our own people to communicate with each other.
Gu Beiheng knew best how to avoid dangerous places and make it difficult for invaders to be discovered.
Naturally, it was he who planned the route between the two places.
The hill before the baboon must also be included in their range.
Gu Beiheng sent fifty people led by Xie Xiaodan, and fifty people led by Shan Yuchu from Langya Cave to the top of the mountain where the mandrills were.
Zheng Suocuo was furious when he learned that the mandrill actually wanted to kill Gu Beiheng. With rage blazing in his eyes, he wished he could burn the mandrill to ashes, and slapped the wall.
"That baboon turned out to be Wang Zhihe's younger brother. I'll go and kill him myself."
Gu Beiheng stopped him.
"I'm afraid the village is deserted, with only a few minor figures remaining. Our people will take over the area, and for now, it will only serve as a vanguard camp.
Find some strong men to garrison there, and assign alert and capable people to take charge. Let's change the name to Qianfengzhai."
Compared with other mountains, Qianfengzhai is more like an army's vanguard camp.
Zheng Suocuo clasped his fists and responded:
"Yes. As the master commands."
Gu Beiheng stared at the topographic map of Hulu Mountain and thought, while recalling the places he had passed by in his mind.
Finally, we chose to draw up a route in the most dangerous place, and naturally we needed our own people to go there to clear the obstacles.
Regarding the most dangerous places, Gu Beiheng plans to lead people there personally.
He said something to Su Qi and started counting the number of people to set off.
Zheng Suocuo and Li Dapao naturally followed him, and several other people who had previously held positions also followed.
Su Qi packed a backpack with food and some emergency medicines for Gu Beiheng.
Su Qi remembered that there was a lot of miasma in Jinyang Prefecture, so she prepared some stemless roots and carefully instructed Gu Beiheng:
"Beiheng, if you encounter a miasma forest, you can cut the stemless root into small pieces and hold them in your mouth. Then you can freely pass through the miasma forest without hindrance."
Gu Beiheng took the large stemless root, a doting look on his face. "Okay. Don't overwork yourself. You haven't had a good rest since last night."
Suo Cuo has arranged a room for him and has also called a maid to serve him. You can go and rest for a while, and it's okay for Yue Qinggang to wait for a while."
It would have been better if Gu Beiheng didn’t say anything.
As soon as she said this, Su Qi suddenly felt really tired. "Okay. I'll go rest."
A little girl with twin buns came over and said in a crisp voice, "Madam, please follow me to rest."
