Chapter 1231: Frying, Cooking, Frying
After a night of fierce fighting, Huo Chi and the others harvested a large number of velvet beetles.
According to past experience, crabs are very spoilage, although the crabs in this world have become so huge, but because the green beetle is extremely nutritious inside, even if it is so large, it is also very easy to spoil.
In order to prevent this rare ingredient from spoiling in a short period of time and becoming inedible, Huo Chi immediately called the more than 500 werewolves to start cleaning up the battlefield.
According to Huo Chi's command, the werewolves collected the velvet beetles that were relatively intact and had not lost much in their stomachs, and more than 500 werewolves worked together, and it didn't take long for the convoy to be filled with this huge crab.
And at this moment, on the Great Wall of Border in the glimmer of the morning light, those scarred guards also began to clean up the battlefield.
In order to meet the new round of fighting, they must remove these green beetles that have accumulated on and at the foot of the Great Wall as soon as possible.
But last night's battle had caused them great losses, and in the early hours of the morning, these people were even more locked in a fierce battle, but fortunately, when the morning came, this wave of green beetles finally crossed the border.
After a rough count, the number of guards lost 89 men on the Great Wall of the border at the border gate alone last night, which can be said to be the heaviest battle in recent months, and the number of wounded is countless.
At this time, the commander of the Great Wall of the Frontier was walking on the Great Wall with an unusually heavy heart, and he supervised the guards to push the crabs down the Great Wall while counting the damage to weapons and ammunition with the logistics staff.
"Sir, when will the new round of supplies come?" The logistics staff was heartbroken to find that the loss of artillery and heavy machine guns far exceeded his expectations, and if the losses continued at this rate, I am afraid that the existing stocks would not last more than a week.
Now they are in dire need of supplies of soldiers and supplies, but their application for supplies has been going on for two weeks, and new supplies have not been delivered.
"I got the latest report last night, the supplies may arrive next week, I just hope there will be no more monsters attacking tonight, the brothers have been working too hard lately, you count the number of people, let the seriously injured go down and rest first." ”
The commander sighed lightly again, it is not difficult to protect the Great Wall of the Border, as long as there are enough troops and weapons and ammunition. But now that the disappearance of the sentry post has made the White Eagle upper echelons extremely nervous, they seem to have overlooked the importance of daily supplies.
I hope that the new supplies will arrive sooner, otherwise he, the commander, will become the commander of the light pole sooner or later, and the Great Wall will not be able to hold it after all.
Of course, if the supplies really can't be delivered, the commander also has his own temporary countermeasure, which is to negotiate with the bandits roaming the wilderness and buy some emergency supplies from them at a high price. Now, maybe it's time like that, right?
Thinking of this, he immediately summoned a quartermaster: "You go and contact the person now, and say that I want to meet them." ”
"Sir, these people are not easy to deal with, do you really want to let them in?" said the quartermaster with some concern, "These guys should know our current situation, and they may raise the price again." ”
"I know that there is no way to raise the price, so let's discuss a place with them, and I'll go see them. ”
"Isn't the place we choose?" asked the quartermaster with some surprise, "It might be quite dangerous to go to their territory, do you really want to go?"
"If it had been yesterday, I would have let them come, but you see that the losses are so heavy today, if they let their eyeliner enter the Great Wall, wouldn't the price given by these robbers be even more expensive. Okay, you don't need to say more, I'm willing to take this risk, go ahead and prepare. ”
"Yes. The quartermaster gave a military salute and trotted away.
The commander, who was only about 30 years old, watched the quartermaster gradually leave, and then took off the somewhat worn military hat on his head, revealing red hair.
He combed his fingers through his short curly hair, and a pair of delicate red ears were exposed in the curls.
It turned out that the commander in charge of the entry and exit area turned out to be a humanoid subhuman, to be exact, he was a fox man.
The fox commander was in a very low mood right now, and for three consecutive nights, a huge number of monsters had come to attack the Great Wall of the Border, which had suddenly reduced their already abundant supplies to dangerous values, and he had to take risks now.
The fox man narrowed his eyes and looked at the wasteland beyond the Great Wall of the border, which was dyed golden by the morning sun. Last night's battle had increased the number of monster corpses in the wasteland, and many new varieties of monsters had been added to the monster accumulation belt not far from the Great Wall of the border.
Hmm? What's that?
Just as the fox man was carefully observing the green beetles that had just died on the monster accumulation belt, he suddenly found that on the opposite side of this large area of monster corpses, wisps of green smoke seemed to rise.
Why is there green smoke in the wasteland?
The fox commander's eyes widened suddenly, that kind of green smoke was familiar to him, the kind of green smoke that slowly rose, nine times out of ten, it was the smoke from the stove after some people temporarily started the stove in the wild!
Why are there so many wisps of smoke rising outside the monster accumulation zone? Is there anyone there preparing breakfast?
Wouldn't it? There were so many monsters gathered here last night, and there were still people who survived, and not only that, but they also had time to eat breakfast?
The fox commander couldn't believe his eyes, but as he had guessed, on the other side of the monster stack, Huo Chi and the others had already set up a number of makeshift stoves, ready to make a nutritious breakfast.
Due to the large number of green beetles obtained last night, Huo Chi ordered more than 500 werewolves to dig a lot of earthen stoves on the spot, and then used the cooking utensils brought out of the secret base, Huo Chi instructed the werewolves to clean up the huge green beetles, chop them into smaller pieces, and then put them directly in the steamer and steam them.
At the same time, Huo Chi also dug out some of the more tender meat, and he was ready to make an appetizing meal.
Huo Chi coated the green beetle meat with dry starch on the outside, put it in a hot oil pan, fried it thoroughly, and then took it out for later use.
Leave a little base oil in a large iron pot, add ginger willow fruit fragments and garlic slices and stir-fry for a while, then add chili, Sichuan pepper, and the bark of the chicken wenge tree (similar to cinnamon) to stir-fry until the red oil appears in the pot.
At this time, an extremely foul fragrance had begun to emerge from the iron pot, which attracted everyone in the convoy, and even Huo Chi himself couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva when he smelled the smell that irritated his nasal cavity.
