The Wolf Guards are very cautious and there will be no movement in the short term.

But this also indirectly confirms Song Tianming's speculation.

There are not many wolf guards, and they are in different positions and are difficult to communicate.

During such a large-scale search, they could only remain silent and wait for the limelight to pass.

And Song Tianming and others must also maintain enough patience.

On the seventh day after departure, the mission finally reached the edge of the Qishan Mountains.

Because of the gradual increase in altitude, many porters and servants began to have altitude sickness.

This also caused the team to travel much slower. It was originally able to travel a hundred miles a day, but now it can only travel less than fifty miles.

People who stopped to rest everywhere on the road, as well as some exhausted horses.

At this moment, everyone stopped to rest again.

Because it is on the plateau, even in summer, the sky gradually becomes late and the temperature begins to drop sharply, so that many people who are still working barely during the day have already put on thick clothes and nestled beside the fire to keep warm.

Song Tianming and the others were still as usual, gathering with Luo Tong and others to make a fire and cook.

During this period, in addition to wine, Song Tianming's cooking skills also opened everyone's eyes.

The porters eat casually, just eat full, and don’t care about the taste at all.

But Song Tianming is a person who has to make three meals a day, and the color, fragrance and taste are very exquisite!

The Lubang men also discovered his habit and were a little dismissive at first. Until they saw that every time he ate, they could take out food far better than them, and they finally couldn't sit still.

After asking for some with Song Tianming, everyone fell into deep self-doubt.

Are the food I ate before for people to eat?

Therefore, taking advantage of Song Tianming's meal became a must-do for Lu Bang men.

After a while, Song Tianming became a full-time chef for everyone!

I didn't have to carry things hard every day, and all the Lu helpers took over for him.

Song Tianming doesn’t need to find the ingredients. During the process of following the car, the men will collect various materials from around them, and even a lot of wild game such as rabbits!

Song Tianming now has only one thing to do every day, cooking.

"I wonder what delicious things Brother Tiedan is going to make today?" A man had been waiting with a bowl for a long time. He smelled the fragrance in the pot and couldn't help asking the people around him.

The person asked showed excitement: "Lao Ba caught a pheasant this morning, maybe he wanted to drink chicken soup!"

"I'll go, you have to start quickly. This chicken soup is not easy to grab!"

"You also need to say that it's a good luck to be able to hold a chicken butt later!"

After a while, Song Tianming took the pot and walked up to everyone and shouted, "Give me a gift, let me get chicken soup!"

Everyone moved closer, staring at the pot with their eyes straight, and saliva flowed everywhere!

The pot was not opened, and the fragrance leaked from the crack was already uncontrollable!

Fresh, so fresh!

They have never drunk chicken soup, but they have never seen it so fragrant!

When the lid of the pot was opened, everyone's faces had completely shrouded the heat of the chicken soup.

Everyone with slightly closed their eyes, full of intoxication!

I wish I could fall into the pot and suck the soup clean!

At this moment, someone had secretly picked up the chopsticks and wanted to pick up the meat, but was pressed by the people around him: "What are you doing? You don't understand the rules!"

The man blushed with shame and whispered: "Oh... Brother Tiedan, you pick up the meat first!"

This is a rule that has been set a long time ago. He must pick up the first chopsticks of the meal made by Song Tianming!

Song Tianming shook his hand: "You guys have it, I have it!"

As he said that, he shook a branch in his hand, wearing two pieces of meat.

"Is this... chicken wings?"

Everyone was stunned when they saw it clearly.

"Brother, if you don't eat chicken legs, why do you want to eat chicken wings?"

"You don't understand, the taste of chicken wings is no worse than that of chicken legs!"

Everyone looked at each other, really unable to understand.

In the eyes of the big knitter, the best part of the chicken body must be the chicken legs, followed by the breasts.

There is too little meat in other places and I can't eat anything at all.

It’s not that people who are big-hearted don’t like to eat, it’s because of backward cooking skills.

If you want chicken soup to taste good, you must not lack seasonings, otherwise you will not be able to extract the umami flavor.

Salt is the most important seasoning for improving freshness.

However, most people use coarse salt when drying, which is too troublesome to use for soup.

This leads to the chicken soup made by many people being too light in the end, making the meat even more tasteless.

In addition to leg meat and breast meat, it is also edible because it tastes good, other parts of the meat are "tasteless, but it's a pity to throw it away".

But with salt, everything will become different.

Although everyone didn't believe it, seeing that Song Tianming was eating so much that they couldn't help but start to grab the pheasant in the pot.

Not long after, a large pot of chicken soup was left with only some residue and bones. The men of Lubang touched their round belly one by one, feeling extremely satisfied.

"This is the first time I've eaten such a delicious chicken butt!"

"Stop talking about the butt, this bone is enough for me to whisper for a whole day!"

"This chicken soup is really too fresh. I ate three buns in one meal!"

"Brother Tiedan, when will I get another chicken soup steamed bun? Without this, I won't even taste good when I eat steamed buns!"

Song Tianming smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, the delicious food is still behind. Haven't I let you eat these yet?"

"That's it, that's it, Brother Tiedan is more than enough to be a chef in the capital!"

"What's the point of being a chef? It's enough to go to the palace to be an imperial chef and cook for the emperor!"

"Shh, don't talk nonsense!" Luo Tong scolded, holding the bowl in his hand, leaving the last bite of chicken soup in it, siping it slowly in small mouthfuls.

"After eating, clean up and set up the tent to rest! I will have to hurry up tomorrow morning!"

"I know!" Everyone didn't know what Luo Tong meant, so they hurriedly went to clean up the bed.

Of course, it also includes Song Tianming's.

Seeing that everyone had walked away, Song Tianming asked, "Old brother, how far is this place from the Hexi Corridor?"

"It's about one hundred miles away. Have you seen the mountain ahead? Turn over and we'll arrive."

It was obviously getting closer to the destination, but Luo Tong's tone was so lively and dull.

He also knew that the Hexi Corridor would not be that easy.

The hardest way to go is behind.

It may even lose your life!

"Don't worry too much, my brother, the boat will naturally be straight when it reaches the bridge! Don't forget to find the birds for me!"

"You can eat and sleep!" Luo Tong cursed and turned around and left.

"Sir, these spies dare not show their heads. If they dragged them to the Hexi Corridor, it would be difficult.

There must be barbarian cavalry lying there. If the spy cannot be found before this, once the fight starts, something may really happen!"

Song Tianming replied lightly: "Don't worry, tomorrow, they will definitely show their heads!"

Yang Jun was shocked: "How do you know, sir?"

"Let's wait and see, remember, do what I said."

The next morning, the team began to drive towards the distant peaks.

The convoy was divided into several groups and started from different positions to cross the other end of the mountain.

The mountain road is steep and it is difficult to drive the carriages and horses. The porters can only climb to a high place first, and then pull the cars and horses below to the top.

This approach is very dangerous. If you are not careful, the carriage and horses will slide down. Not only will the things be damaged, the horses will be injured, but the teams that are going up the mountain behind will also be damaged, affecting the speed of the entire team.

The porters hung ropes on their waists, tied to the rocks on the mountain, and in groups of several people, pulling the carriage and horses hard.

For a moment, countless sounds of trumpets echoed in the mountains.

Song Tianming couldn't be lazy, and had to work with him.

Fortunately, Yang Jun took on most of the work for him, and he could save a lot of effort to observe the surrounding environment!

The more you pull up, the more dangerous it becomes, the more careful everyone is.

But this is also the most likely time to get into trouble.

Sure enough, soon, a scream came from the front, followed by the chaotic shouts of the men.

"No, there is a big truck in front of me that has broken the axle and is sliding down!"

Everyone was shocked, and then several men volunteered to help in front of them.

"Sir, it's not that they took action?"

Song Tianming looked around, took the rope from Yang Jun's hand and tightened it, and said to Yang Jun: "Be prepared, there should be a bird whistle sounding later!"

"clear!"

As Song Tianming said, not long after, a long bird song echoed in the mountains.
Chapter completed!
