The children ran the whole night without much rest. When the first ray of light shone on the horizon, it was just as Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had predicted. All of them couldn't run anymore. Their clothes were drenched in sweat, and as the temperature gradually rose, it was stuffy and hot. There was also a little bit of coldness from the inside out.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't care about the others. They went to a nearby water station, took off their outer clothes, and washed them with water. Then, they stuck the retractable stick into the sand to prop themselves up. Then, they wet their towels and wiped their arms and legs a little. Then, they put up a blanket and waited there for breakfast.
Originally, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan planned to let Pomegranate send the Ligue Hunter to deliver breakfast, but in the end, everyone else joined in. Li Xun got someone to take a car to come here first, saving Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan a lot of trouble.
"How is it? Zhang Xiaobao, do you think this arrangement is good? Not letting others bring anything and only providing two meals, this is survival. "
No matter what Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did, Li Xun would follow suit. At the same time, he washed his clothes with water. He didn't know how to wash, so he wiped his arms and legs and sat in front of the two people to show off his skills.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan shook their heads at the same time and took the porridge to eat.
Li Xun was still waiting for the two of them to praise him, but he didn't expect to get such a result. Looking at the bowl of porridge in front of him, he asked unwillingly, "Did I do something wrong?"
"Of course, this is a place for children to play. What survival in the wild? For survival in the wild, who would specially go to the front to give water? Who would arrange two meals a day? Why can't we bring anything? Are scouts not allowed to bring dry rations when they go out? "
Zhang Xiaobao asked several questions in succession, but Li Xun couldn't answer them.
Wang Juan added, "That's right, that's right. As for the rest tent, it should be carried by the people themselves. They can rest whenever they want. Whoever reaches the last place first will be the winner. My family, oh, someone said it, is to give them a chance to prepare. They can bring whatever they want. The people protecting them will only interfere when they can't take it anymore."
Li Xun listened carefully. He felt that it made sense, but he also felt that it was not feasible to do so. However, he deduced an important thing from Wang Juan's words. That was, the expert really did exist. Everything was said by the expert. Yes, he noted this down. Children who were too young would not be able to do it. He could let children over the age of ten try.
At this time, Han Yongyao also dragged his heavy footsteps to the side. He lay on the side and panted heavily. His eyes did not forget to stare at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan a few times.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not care about this stare at all. The two of them had no problem beating the other party, but it would not solve anything. There was still hatred, and it would only expose themselves. Not making a move on him did not mean that they did not value him. When they returned, they would prepare. As for how to calculate, it would depend on the other party's moves.
"What's wrong? If you don't want to rest, are you going to continue on your journey? " Li Xun and Zhang Xiaobao finished eating at almost the same time. When he saw the two of them put down their chopsticks, he yawned and asked.
"Yes, we are in a hurry to go home. I won't play anymore. This thing is for you." Zhang Xiaobao said and took out the saltpeter from his backpack, as well as the set of bowls.
"Go home? You can get the first place, and then there will be a reward. I have also asked people to make a few plates, you will definitely get them. " Li Xun did not expect that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan would go back. They had only stayed for two days, so he felt a little reluctant to leave. He wanted to use other benefits to attract the two of them.
When he saw the thing that Zhang Xiaobao took out, he doubtfully asked, "This is saltpeter? Oh, I know, it is used to make ice for eating. Why didn't I think of it? "
"It is not for entertainment, it is used to save lives at critical times. It is most useful when several people travel together. It can help the people around you to prevent heatstroke. More importantly, it is used to suppress wounds. Therefore, I only brought a little. If you want to bring more, it is better to bring water. Even if it is hot water, it can still save people's lives."
Zhang Xiaobao explained to Li Xun.
"Ah? It is actually used like this? Zhang Xiaobao, since you are leaving, why don't you give me your backpack? "
Li Xun understood this time. Saltpeter was not used to make ice for people to eat casually. When he looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's backpack, he finally said the words in his heart. He believed that there were definitely some good things inside.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked at each other and shook their heads. Zhang Xiaobao said, "Young master Li, these things are enough for you to use. When you are almost finished, we will organize another trip. When we come back, we will show you some new things."
Interest was also a gradual process. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not want to expose everything so early. There were indeed some things in the backpack, such as several different kinds of needles, a string separated from sheep intestines, a small soldering iron, some good charcoal, and a three-edged needle.
These were used to treat external injuries and bleed the human body, especially internal bleeding. Although the three-edged needle could not cure the person, it could prolong the time for a while. It was not suitable to take them out at this time. Originally, they were going to bring some pure powder, but later gave up.
"Okay, okay, I will organize another trip at that time. Be careful on the way." Li Xun did not know what to say. He really wanted to snatch the two people's backpack, but he also knew that this was like killing the chicken to get the eggs. If he forced them this time, he would not expect them to bring him anything. He had to say a sentence of blessing.
"Haha, are you afraid?" Not far away, Han Yongyao, who heard Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan leaving, suddenly shouted. He was angry. He was prepared to retaliate against the two people in a while, but he did not expect that they would be ready to go home after eating.
"Shut up." Without waiting for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to speak, Li Xun turned his head and angrily scolded them.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not pay attention to him at all. They rinsed their mouths with water, patted their full stomachs, and walked towards the outside of the desert. There was a dirt road there, and the car sent by their family was parked on the road.
Han Yongyao did not dare to show any dissatisfaction with Li Xun. He had to smile and apologize. After avoiding Li Xun's gaze, he stared at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's backs as they left.
"Xiao Bao, he must hate us to death." Wang Juan did not need to look back to know the situation over there. "Hmph.
Let's go back and think of a way to deal with his family. This child is really not as good as Li Xun. At least, if it was Li Xun, he would not have made his attitude so obvious. Han Yongyao, a child, dared to show his hatred when he did not have his own power. It can only be said that his family's upbringing is not good. A good family will raise their children from a young age. If he can't do it, it means that his family is not good either. "
Zhang Xiaobao began to analyze the situation of his new neighbor through this small matter. He continued, "With a child like him, we can still make use of him. The more hatred, the better. Don't you think that I am bullying a child?"
"Children are always bullied. Otherwise, why would he dare to treat us like this? Isn't it because we are young? The autumn harvest is coming. Do you know how to peel the grain? "Wang Juan did not want to talk more about the topic just now. She changed the topic and it became a technical matter.
Zhang Xiaobao nodded, "I know. I have seen people peel the grain and grind it into flour. I have also seen it. When the rice is transported to a place specially made for peeling, they first take out a cover with a big hole and put it on the electric motor. When the grain is poured into it, most of the grain comes out. Then, they change it with a cover with a smaller hole …"
"Okay, I know. When we go back, you make this electric motor. I will have someone prepare the cover. This will save a lot of effort for the farmers." Wang Juan held out her thumb and gestured to Zhang Xiaobao.
"Uh! That, actually, there is another way. That is to put the rice in the open space, dry it and beat it with something. After beating it, it will be blown up by the wind. I know how to make this thing. "Zhang Xiaobao said to Wang Juan with a serious face.
"This is something that people can do now. There is no need for you. Do you have a way to make a simple peeling machine? For example, the kind that uses livestock and manpower."
"No, we can't remove the skin of the rice and wheat. That way, they can be stored for a short period of time. If we keep the shell, they can be stored for two or three years. Otherwise, in less than a year, those black bugs will grow. Keep the shelled ones and eat them immediately."
Zhang Xiaobao still had this experience. Once the rice and flour were made, they had to find a way to sell it. Otherwise, when the insects grew, it would affect the price.
Wang Juan really didn't have this kind of experience. She was stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously, "You are not lying?"
"I can't use this kind of thing to lie to you. Kaiyuan, in two years, there will be more food. Take advantage of this time and buy some back. We can make cakes, big rice cakes and other things to sell. Don't touch your own first. This year, we will only buy the shelled ones. Help me think of something to make noodles. Take advantage of this winter to make more money. It won't be easy to make money with food in the future."
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan talked about the future with confidence. Wang Juan, on the other hand, didn't believe him. Weiwei tilted her head and asked, "Do you really plan to do this? Sell some cakes? "
"Yes." Zhang Xiaobao nodded firmly.
"Really?" Wang Juan's voice rose in pitch.
"Yes." Zhang Xiaobao opened his eyes wide and nodded fiercely.
"Yes?" Wang Juan continued to raise her voice.
"Actually, actually, we can do something else. You, really, why do you have to ask so clearly? It's not good for a husband and wife to know too much. I'm trying my best to leave you with a sense of mystery. Do you feel it?" Zhang Xiaobao compromised at this moment.
"I feel it. I feel that I don't want to live with you. Hurry up and say it. Otherwise, when I grow up, I will marry An Lushan. Let's see what you can do then." Wang Juan threatened.
Zhang Xiaobao was stunned for a moment and suddenly laughed. "You marry that fatty. Yes, good. Now he is in trouble. I don't need to do anything. He will know who he can't marry. He will regret it to death. Hahahaha!"
"Zhang Xiaobao, get out of the car. I won't sit in the same car as you."
