After burning the first fire in Shangluo, Li Chao continued to march eastward with his team, and did not stop in Shangluo, sailing down the Danjiang River.
The boat crosses the Dangang estuary into the Han River and then sails against the current.
"Teacher, aren't we going to Dengzhou, Dengzhou is in the east, why should we go west."
Li Chengqian has been doing a good job of geography tutoring recently, and when he saw that the boats had entered a larger river, he also recognized that it was the Han River.
But after entering the Han River, it did not go downstream, but went upstream, which makes it difficult to guess where it went.
It was already noon, and Li Chao beckoned the boatman to come to the shore to cook and eat.
The location where he is now is the famous Danjiangkou Reservoir in later generations, and the Danjiangkou Reservoir is the source of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, with the best water quality and clear water.
However, at this time, there was no such a huge reservoir here, and the Dan River joins the Han River here, except that the water area is wider, it is still a river.
Affected by the continuous drought, the wide water surface of the Danjiang estuary has withered a lot, and most of the riverbed is bare.
On the river, many boats came and went, and it was the people who received the government's notice and were busy fishing in the river.
And there were many people on the banks of the river.
Fishing on the river, the shore is dried fish and pickled fish.
This scene reminded Li Chao of some small salt factories he had seen along the coast before.
At that time, some places still retained some simple methods of drying salt, and the salt farmers were drying salt by the sea, and the children were playing nearby, which was really similar to today.
Li Chao got off the boat and took the initiative to go over and take a look, and greeted the people from time to time.
Many people can't even understand and speak official language, and they have to rely on the help of local officials who are traveling with them to translate, which makes Li Chao a little helpless.
Shannan is also considered to be the land of Chu, and the land of Chu is even ten miles different in sound, and in the mountainous areas of many places in Jingxiang, many people who live there are even directly called barbarians.
In fact, these barbarians should also be the Tujia and other young people in later generations.
There is less water in the river, and it seems that fishing is easier.
After the Danjiang River flows into the Han River, it is bounded by the mouth of the Danjiang River, with Junzhou in the west and Xiangzhou in the east.
Junzhou Thorn Shi accompanied Li Chao and introduced Li Chao to the fishing and other activities organized by the government.
After looking around, Li Chao was still very satisfied with the actions of Junzhou's assassination, at least it was not perfunctory, but it was really propaganda and organization.
After looking around, Li Chao was also a little hungry.
"Please Xiangguo and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince take a boat back to Junzhou City for dinner."
"I have to go to Junzhou City to have a meal, and I have to take a boat, why is it so troublesome.
Let's eat it here, just order it simply," Li Chao said.
Junzhou Thorn Shi was a little helpless, on the riverside in the wilderness, what to eat, how to eat, he had neither a cook nor ingredients, he was very embarrassed.
This is the honorable Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister, even the generals who guarded the guards, they were all Earls of Shifeng, and the children who were picking up stones on the river beach to play, they were all the sons of the Prime Minister and the Prince, His Majesty's attached horses.
Li Chao is not so particular.
Who said you can't cook by the river, you can't cook in the wild.
"But we don't really have the cooking tools ready, and we don't have the ingredients ready."
Li Chao pointed to the boatmen and fishermen over there and said, "Borrow a few pots from the villagers, and then buy some fish from them, get some wild vegetables or something, and you can get them to eat." ” In fact, you don't even have to borrow pots and fish, Li Chao brought thousands of soldiers and horses, all kinds of cooking tools and marching dry food, etc., which must be reported.
It's just that Li Chao doesn't like to eat dry food very much.
The weather in August is already cool, and under the shade of the willow trees on the river beach, take a stone circle, and then you can set up firewood.
Li Chao looked at the borrowed pot and said with a smile, "It's still a hanging pot, that's just right, let's eat Shannan hanging pot today." ” Hanging pot is actually quite a simple way to cook.
The south of the mountain is mountainous, in winter, the weather is very cold, everyone likes to close the door and roast the fire at home, there is no warm kang in the south, the winter is cold, all rely on the fire pond to bake the fire for warmth.
Sometimes it's raining outside, and you can't even go out.
I got together all day to cook the fire, and at noon, I didn't bother to cook on the fire, so I hung a pot directly on the fire, heated the morning meal, and gathered around the fire to eat, and continued to roast the fire after eating.
This simple and trouble-free way to eat in winter is called hanging pot.
Most people have hanging pots in their homes, but some people's homes are pottery, and some people's homes are iron or copper.
These pots, which are generally tied with iron, can be lifted like a kettle, and are hung directly on the hook hanging from the roof beam, which is equivalent to hanging on the fire.
Now outdoors, there is no hook hanging from the beam, but it is not difficult for Li Chao, just cut a few wooden sticks, erect them diagonally, tie them with a rope, and then tie a hook down from above.
The iron pot is hung directly over the fire.
A group of snack sellers who were happy to pick up shells and stones, as soon as they saw Li Chao rolling up his sleeves to cook, they all came around.
Li Chao was also not polite, and instructed them to fold firewood, add fire, and then wash the pot and prepare the ingredients by themselves.

There are not many ingredients.
There are fresh fish caught in the river, as well as dried bamboo shoots, dried radish, sauerkraut, green vegetables, and tofu brought by the villagers.
Li Chao asked Niu Jianhu to bring a ham and a piece of bacon from the dry food of the march, and then brought the seasoning they carried.
Chop off a piece of smoked black and hard bacon, wash it in the river, then boil water in the pot, put the bacon in the pot and cook it for a while, take out the soft bacon, rinse it, and cut it into slices.
Li Chao cut a large piece.
The bacon has to be large and thick, so that when you bite into it, it is oily, salty and a little sweet.
Li Chao's slice of bacon is the size of a small half palm, and the skin of the bacon is very hard and tao, dark red and dark red.
But the fat inside is transparent.
The lean part underneath, red brick color.
Li Chao deliberately cut two pieces of bacon and threw them into the pot.
On the red pot, the oil on the bacon is fragrant, and the fragrance comes to the nose.
When the fragrance is stronger and the oil is fried, Li Chao puts the dried bamboo shoots, radish, and sauerkraut in it, and then stir-fry it slightly, then put in the bacon, cook it almost, and add half a pot of water.
When the water boils, put the fish pieces cut into large pieces into a pot, pour in a little wine, and let him boil with a clatter.
This is the easiest way to do it, chowder hanging pot.
Add salt, ginger slices and dogwood paste.
The pot is boiling and the aroma is overflowing.
"It's almost, is the rice cooked, put the rice on it, and come here to eat."
Li Chao greeted, and there were no rules, anyway, the group of little guys he brought were used to it.
Junzhou Thorn History Station is not either, nor is it sitting.
Looking at His Royal Highness the Prince, he held a bowl, squatted next to Li Chao, and looked at the hanging pot expectantly, feeling very complicated.
Li Chao didn't care about them, he took an empty bowl and handed it to the prince, "Fill me with a bowl of rice" In the surprised gaze of Junzhou Thorn Shi, the prince actually took it naturally, and then turned his head to serve the meal.
This made him sweat profusely, shouldn't Xiangguo serve dinner to His Royal Highness the Prince The assassin can't stand it, there are too few monarchs and ministers.
Although Li Chao is a prime minister, the prince is a vice-monarch, and there is a difference between the monarch and the minister, how can he mess around.
He turned and walked over to the prince.
"Your Highness, let the ministers come."
Who knew that the prince didn't appreciate it.
"No need, Wang Tingshi, you can do it over there, I'll bring you a bowl of rice by the way in a while."
"Don't you dare, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will kill the minister."
Thorn Shi Cheng was terrified.
The prince was willing to help him serve the rice, but he never dared to take it, Li Chengqian said a few words, seeing this, he didn't bother to say more to this pedantic old man, and directly played two bowls of rice, Li Chao had a bowl of him, and then turned around and left.
Thorn Shi still wanted to help get the food, but Li Chengqian was not happy.
"Could it be that the king makes the king feel lonely, and he can't even take two bowls of rice, and feels that he is the kind of person who needs rice to open his mouth and stretch out his hand, and has no ability to do anything."
This is a bit heavy, Wang Tingshi's face is white, how dare he say such a thing.
"The minister never dares, and he will never dare to think so."
"Then in that case, the king doesn't need to be too polite to Lone."
After the meal was served, Li Chao took it casually, without even thanking him, and the prince was also very natural, the relationship between the prince and Li Xiangguo made Wang Tingshi very envious.
Li Chao beckoned Wang Tingshi to eat together, but he refused.
So Li Chao ignored him, beckoned his disciples, and Cheng Chumo a few, a group of people gathered in a circle, squatting or standing or sitting, without dignity and humility.
There is a faint fragrance of osmanthus in the air, listening to the birds, the sound of the water, and the sound of the people fishing and drying in the distance.
Although it is not a wild boar or pheasant hanging pot, and there are few ingredients, everyone is still very happy to eat.
"Actually, you don't have to see Wang Tingshi, this is not under the public court, you can sit casually."
"I'll just be standing."
Wang Tingshi is a lot old, with half-white hair, and is in his fifties, but he still abides by many rules.
Li Chao likes and dislikes such officials.
What I like is that they talk about the rules, and what they don't like is that they are too rules, too conformist, and even do things, completely relying on the instructions from above, and they don't think about creating them, but just listen to orders.

"I heard that Wang Yuanjun was sick at the beginning of the year, and now I don't know if my body is better, you should pay more attention to recuperation, don't overwork and hurt your body, you are still young."
"The body is fine, thank you Xiangguo for your concern, it's just that I'm old, I'm already past the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and I'm about to six."
"Fifty-something, that's not what a proper year is."
Li Chao sandwiched a piece of fish, the hot fish pieces had no fishy smell, and they were still very smooth and tender, and he ate them in a few bites and spit out the bones.
Li Chao continued, "The drought is getting more and more serious now, and I can also tell you something, the situation that the imperial court has now is that this year's autumn drought will continue. ” "It's going on" "Well, it's going to be serious, and there's even autumn locusts.
But this is still the most troublesome, the most troublesome thing is that next summer may still be a drought, and next year there will be a serious summer locust, the kind of big locust plague that occurs once in decades, the entire Central Plains will suffer a major disaster, and even the Central Plains, Shandong, Huainan and other places will be greatly affected.
After the great drought and locusts, there will be a great famine, so the imperial court asked the local authorities to step up grain management and mobilization, and in addition, let all localities find ways to get food, dry vegetables, hunt and fish, just to prepare for the great famine in the coming year. ” "In the end, I have explained it to you clearly, and in the future, you will also think of a way to put this food preparation in the first place.
It is also necessary to cooperate with the imperial court and step up immigration. ” In fact, Li Chaolai originally wanted to go to Wudang Mountain first, and Wudang Mountain is in Junzhou, not far from here.
But now, Li Chao suddenly lost interest.
"After eating this meal, the prince and I went to Xiangyang, and then went from Yushui to Xinye, and then from the turbulent water to Dengzhou Suicheng" "The subordinates will arrange ships and others, and send people to inform the Xiangzhou locality."
Wang Tingshi hurriedly said.
The sixth in the classification monthly ticket list, there will be a bonus for the fifth place, and there are only 200 votes left from the fifth, brothers, support it t1706231537:
