The next day, the sun was shining, and they worked as usual at sunrise and rested at sunset, working and resting regularly.

Chu Lixuan received the news from Chu Twelve that they met the commander of the Jinyi Guards in Pingqing Mansion and that they could only stay in Pingqing Mansion for two days.

Chu Lixuan arranged for Zhao Yu to take people to wait for the commander outside the city of Youzhou Prefecture to give them some resistance to prevent him from coming to Lanni Town to act like a monster.

"Zhao Yu, you should know that our castle is too luxurious. If the emperor finds out about it, he will never be able to live in peace in the future."

Jiang Xinyan warned Zhao Yu worriedly, "If you can't deal with that Commander Lao Shizi, just send a message back and ask your father to put on sacks."

"Madam, please rest assured, my subordinates know what to do." Zhao Yu definitely couldn't defeat the commander, even though he had practiced magical skills.

However, he could ask Divine Doctor Hao for some poisons, drugs, etc., but he wouldn't believe it and still wouldn't be able to become the commander.

"Sir, madam, my subordinates should also go together. That Lao Shizi is indeed very capable of commanding." Wei Dabin recommended himself.

Chu Lixuan also wanted them to go out and practice: "Well, bring all the Snow Wolves with you."

Wei Dabin and Zhao Yu continued to work during the day, while Jiang Xinyan led the Huotou Army to make dry food. The meat that would not spoil in a few days was made into dried pork.

The staple food is steamed buns, which can be heated when you have time. If you don’t have time, you can eat them without heating them.

Pork breast is Jiang Xinyan’s favorite snack. This salty and sweet snack is particularly chewy.

The reason Jiang Xinyan knows how to make it is because pork breasts are easy to carry. When she went out for fun in her previous life, she packed a small box and could replenish calories at any time.

Every time Jiang Xinyan takes a few bites after playing wildly with her girlfriends, she will be so happy that she shakes her head.

There are various additives in commercially available pork jerky, so the quality and content of the pork cannot be controlled. Making it at home is not only healthier, but also tastes more solid and has a better aftertaste. Real ingredients are naturally better.

There are a lot of mature adult pigs in the pig farm in the castle. Just slaughter a few dozen more. When making jerky, be sure to choose pure lean meat.

Tenderloin or hind leg meat can be used. If there is fascia on the meat, it must be removed, otherwise it will affect the taste.

Jiang Xinyan asked the fire-headed soldiers to mince the pork slices carefully. Generally speaking, pork breasts are best chopped with a knife.

If you are too lazy to use a food processor, although the minced meat will be uniform and delicate, the muscle tissue will be destroyed, and the taste of the resulting jerky will be a bit dull.

However, there was no meat grinder in ancient times. Add light soy sauce and beat vigorously in one direction with chopsticks.

The meat jerky made from the vigorously whipped meat puree is not only chewier, but also less likely to fall apart during the baking process.

These fire-headed soldiers have very strong arms and can use them better than a meat mincer. Jiang Xinyan taught them how to spread the meat patties flat on the baking paper.

Cover the top with a piece of meat and roll it out with a rolling pin. The meatloaf should be rolled out very thinly, about two to three millimeters. Otherwise, if it is thicker, it will become jerky and the taste will be much worse.

Naturally, there was no baking paper in ancient times. You could also use tung tree leaves, but if you use tung leaves, you must first brush some vegetable oil on the leaves to prevent them from sticking, otherwise they will not be able to be removed.

During dinner, we made a lot of delicious preserved meat, whether it was adults working in the fields or children in class.

Everyone's mouths watered with greed, "Madam is researching new food again, it smells so good!"

"Why are you so greedy? You were missing the food that Madam made that time. Hurry up and work for me."

"Yes, Captain, would you like to lend me your horse to learn how to ride a horse? I will share the food for you then."

"Go away, work, hurry up and work. I'll lend it to you to study at night when there's moonlight."

There are weird things in every brigade. Such conversations are everywhere, and the children in class are studying "seriously".

It seems as if the wafting fragrance has no effect on them, because they know that any new food is given to them to taste first.

If they acted too greedy, they would be in big trouble if Master told Mrs. Chu, so everyone's tacit understanding was not affected.

Master Yang and Master Wang were very surprised. They were both very greedy! Why weren’t these kids clamoring to eat?

During dinner, everyone shared a piece of dried meat for everyone to try, saying that they would make a large amount starting tomorrow.

In fact, we have already made a lot of them today, but they have to be taken away by Wei Dabin and Zhao Yu.

After dinner, they took away a thousand men from the Snow Wolf Team, as well as several young generals, and rode out of the castle.

Chu Twelve sent a message and told them that the Jinyiwei sent out a thousand people this time. They didn't know clearly yet and they didn't know what they were coming for.

No one else in the castle knew this. They were still savoring the taste of dried meat and chewing it, thinking that they could eat a few more slices of dried meat tomorrow.

Now, there are so many horses in their castle, and everyone is very active and goes to practice riding horses whenever they have free time.

Therefore, when Wei Dabin, Zhao Yu and more than a thousand people rode out of the castle, everyone thought they were training horses.

Some children are still chasing the horses. The adults no longer chase the horses. They are all thinking about when they will learn to ride horses.

On the way, Wei Dabin teased: "Zhao Yu, you'd better not come forward. Those Jin Yiwei are your colleagues and they all know you, right?"

"You are overthinking. What are you afraid of? I gave you a mask. If you put on the mask, you won't even recognize my own father. I am going to meet the Commander-in-Chief."

I'm going to try to see how far behind he is, but Zhao Yu won't say this to Wei Dabin.

"Let's just kill him so that he doesn't have the chance to come to Lanni Town." Wei Dabin thought about his tribesmen still walking slowly on the road.

If he meets Jin Yiwei again, he will definitely become suspicious, "Should we simply kill the commander?"

"Are you dreaming? It's not certain whether we can win or not, but we still want to kill him? Just inflict internal injuries." Zhao Yu knew Jin Yiwei's strength.

Compared with Wei Dabin and his soldiers, one is worth ten, or even worth a hundred.

What's more, I and my wife didn't say they wanted to kill the commander! They came this time to collect grain and grass. If they were killed, what would happen to the war in the south?

After walking all night and day, we finally found a hilltop with good terrain. Zhao Yu announced: "Everyone camp and have a rest. We will just wait and see on this hilltop."

This time the team was led by Zhao Yu and assisted by Wei Dabin. Since they were not fighting against an enemy country, they did not lead a military advisor.

They all select people with strong martial arts skills. Wei Dabin brought Song Daida and a personal guard.

Zhao Yu brought all the members of his Jinyi Guard out for training, and their master and his wife were personally in charge of the castle.

Therefore, there is nothing to worry about. Their wife has said that if they win, they will fight. If they don't win, they will run back and call them master.

During spring sowing, everything revives, the grass on the hills is green, and the horses happily eat grass.
