Chapter 174 How do you roast live silkworms?
There were more than a hundred muskets alone, and countless replacement gunpowders.
Xiangying's eyes lit up.
She reached out and touched the musket, squinting her eyes to check the muzzle.
But Jie Chen pressed him down: "You can't point this thing at your face, be careful."
Seeing his frown, Xiangying smiled and said, "I know this. Don't worry, I know how to use it very well."
Afterwards, Xiangying stopped talking, reached out his hand, and put all the weapons into the space in front of Jie Chen.
Xie Chen's face was solemn: "Half of these weapons don't look like they were made in South Vietnam."
Xiangying heard it and looked back at him: "You mean, he looted these from Xizhou?"
Xie Chen bent down, picked up the ashes on the ground and rubbed them with his slender, cold white fingers.
His long eyebrows slowly wrinkled, "The ash and saltpeter smell from Nanyue is stronger. This must be the gunpowder from the Western Zhou Dynasty."
"But here's the problem. When we attacked Western Zhou, the Sixth Prince was still in Nanyue. With so many Western Zhou weapons, could it be that he had been colluding with the traitors in your Western Zhou?"
Xiangying raised her eyebrows, not feeling surprised.
"Given the temperament of my father, the bastard emperor, there must be loopholes everywhere in the Western Zhou Dynasty. It is normal to have one or two spies."
Xie Chen groaned: "But the Sixth Prince hoarded so many weapons, maybe he has other intentions."
At this time, he and Xiangying both guessed a possibility.
Is the Sixth Prince planning a rebellion?
Xiangying smiled and said, "Now, let's take everything from him and make him lose everything."
After packing up all the things, she pulled Jie Chen away.
Ah Ren was very surprised to see that they had nothing in their hands.
"Sister, you guys don't take anything at all?"
"There are only three of us, and we can't move so much. Don't worry, the deputy general will find more people to clear out the place." Xiangying put his hand on A'ren's shoulder with a smile and made up an excuse to get away with it.
Ah Ren nodded heavily: "That's good."
They rejoined the exile team, rested for a night and set off again.
Xiangying went into the space and sorted it out.
The stocking requirement for upgrading the 13th floor has now been met with 20,000 swords.
We are still 30,000 weapons away from opening the upper floors.
And in the past two days, her planting floor has had a great harvest.
Xiangying set the robot to collect and sort things at regular intervals, and cleaned up the first to ninth floors.
After entering Meicheng, there must be plenty of places to stock up on goods.
Thinking of his own cartoon character, Xiangying bit into the candied haws he had just made for himself and went to look at the screen.
Unexpectedly, after just a glance, she was stunned on the spot.
"Am I seeing things?" She wiped the screen carefully.
The upper left corner shows that the number of people in Sand City is 2,500. Click on the exclamation mark behind it and there will be a detailed division, even the three newborns are marked out.
After being surprised, Xiangying laughed out loud with joy.
"My Keke Cult is really powerful. From the initial two people, it has grown to 2,500 people! Well, well, the harder you work, the more I can exchange from the trading system!"
She immediately threw over many fruits and vegetables that she had just planted and harvested.
She also gave away a lot of pigs, sheep and cows because she found that the cartoon characters had begun to study breeding and reproduction on their own.
The entire Sand City even has street food stalls. Ever since Xiangying provided them with water, their lives began to prosper.
The originally peaceful and tranquil sand city became boiling again because of Xiangying's feeding of supplies.
General Wei Yong ordered the military advisor: "Quick! Take the portrait we prepared and show it to the great god Wang Ying. Is he satisfied? If he is willing, we will erect a statue for him!"
The military advisor picked up the portrait that had been painted for him, rushed out of the tent, and held it high towards the sky.
Xiangying noticed it, but the portrait was too small, so she used two fingers to zoom in on the screen and finally saw clearly what they were showing her.
"One nose and two eyes... Wait, is this the portrait they drew of me in their imagination?"
But looking at the picture, the little person has a cartoon knife on his waist.
No matter how you look at it, he's a man.
The military advisor was lifting it with all his strength, when suddenly, a stream of water poured down from the sky on his head, knocking him down!
Generals Weiyong and Zhongyong quickly helped him up.
"Is the military advisor alright? This... the gods are actually angry?"
The military advisor wiped the rain off his face and saw that the ink on the painting in his hand had been completely smudged.
He laughed up to the sky, his expression excited: "I know, I know! Master Wang Ying is not satisfied with our paintings, change them again!"
Xiangying shook off the water droplets on his hands and muttered, "You guys can take your time. Now the most important thing is to expand the land and develop the population."
She left the space and opened her eyes in the shaking carriage.
Looking out from behind the curtain, the closer we got to Meicheng, the more severe the drought became. The cracks in the fields were so big that we could fit a hand in.
Suddenly, Xiangying saw two carriages lying across a nearby field.
The little guys have good eyesight. Xiang Xiuxiu frowned and pointed over there: "There are so many bugs!"
Xiangying looked closely.
This is not a bug, it's a silkworm!
"Stop!" Xiangying stopped Qi Fengyi who was driving.
She ignored the puzzled looks of others, picked up the basket, and ran over quickly.
The two carriages were filled with baskets for raising silkworms, probably more than thirty baskets.
Judging from the situation, it seems that some large silkworm breeder encountered some problem when he left in a hurry, so he left these silkworms behind.
If Xiangying had come a little later, these silkworms would have been sun-dried to death.
She quickly put the silkworms into the basket, and where no one could see, she reached out and moved most of them into the space.
Xie Chen was riding a horse next to the exile team and saw Xiang Ying squatting there picking up something.
Sour Scholar: "Deputy General, do you need me to urge you?"
However, Xie Chen just pursed his lips and said, "Let her do whatever she wants. It won't take long."
The sour scholar nodded to show that he understood.
Anyway, in the eyes of their master, whatever Xiangying wants to do is right.
Xiangying came back happily holding a basket of silkworms.
Xiang Xiuxiu was afraid of insects, so she quickly hid behind her two brothers.
"Mom, don't take it. I'm scared."
Ah Ren's eyes were bright. He picked up a silkworm and threatened Xiang Xiuxiu, saying, "This will be delicious when it's roasted. It will sizzle and ooze oil!"
Xiang Xiuxiu was indeed frightened. Her little mouth pouted and tears welled up in her big eyes.
Ah Ren was immediately panicked. Under the stern gazes of the brothers Xiang Yuanxiao and Xiang Yuanlang, he apologized to Xiang Xiuxiu repeatedly.
"I'm sorry, Xiuxiu, I didn't mean to scare you. I've never eaten this silkworm before..."
Xiangying laughed: "Of course, this is not for eating."
Xiang Qianqian followed from a distance and saw Xiang Ying pick up a bunch of things and put them on the carriage.
Along the way, Xiangying has been "picking up bargains" on the road.
A few days ago, she picked up a bag full of gold, silver, jewelry and a land deed.
Xiangying had dug up a lot of wild vegetables on the roadside before, saying they were shepherd's purse, but Xiang Qianqian didn't recognize them.
All I know is that Xiangying chopped up the vegetable and made dumplings with it. Seeing them eating, he was very greedy as he enjoyed the delicious smell.
Xiang Qianqian thought about it, mustered up her courage, and walked towards the carriage where the silkworms were scattered.
She also picked up some.
At night, when the exile team arrived outside Meicheng, the time to enter the city had already passed.
Therefore, Xie Chen ordered the troops to rest in place and wait until tomorrow morning to enter the city.
The soldiers built a bonfire, and Xiang Qianqian endured the nausea and strung the silkworms she had picked up onto tree sticks one by one.
After being roasted by the fire, those plump white insects immediately curled up and turned black.
She suppressed her nausea, took two bites, and almost vomited.
But Xiangying picked them up, which means they must be good things, and it would be a waste for her not to eat them.
So Xiang Qianqian ate two strings of white silkworms alone.
When Concubine Yu passed by, she was so shocked that she almost vomited.
"Fifth Princess, why are you eating silkworms?"
"What? Is this a silkworm?" Xiang Qianqian was stunned.
By the time she reacted, her stomach was already churning. She threw herself to the side, scratching her throat and vomiting.
