Chapter 261 Gnawing Bones
Doctor Sun had no idea what Shen Yiyi was thinking. He happily took the powder and ran off to study it.
Seeing Doctor Wang and his men sorting out poisonous insects and medicinal herbs, he hurried over.
"Doctor Wang, let's deal with the poisonous insects first, and then deal with the medicinal materials."
She explained to everyone how to deal with poisonous insects and medicinal herbs while demonstrating. After making sure everyone had learned it, she took out a bag of medicinal powder and gave it to Doctor Wang.
"Add this packet of powder to five buckets of water, then soak the herbs and poisonous insects in it and dry them in the sun. They will be dry in two hours."
"Two hours?" Doctor Wang was shocked.
He stared at the medicinal powder in his hand. In all his years of practicing medicine, he had never heard of medicinal powder with such efficacy.
If it were medicinal herbs, it would be understandable, but those poisonous ones would be thicker than his calves when they grew up, so how could they be dried up in just two hours?
Shen Yiyi had long been accustomed to their naive behavior and was too lazy to explain to him.
"Just ask everyone to do it."
Then he took out five packets of medicine powder, went to the Huotou Camp, and directly found the manager, Lao Wu.
"Brother Lao Wu, each packet of medicine powder can be mixed with five buckets of water. Rinse the marinated meat in it, and it will dry faster when you hang it out to dry."
"Oh, okay." Lao Wu nodded.
Without asking any more questions, he quickly took the medicine powder. He now had unconditional trust in the Crown Princess' words.
Without a trace of doubt, as long as the Crown Princess said it was useful, then it would be useful, and it wouldn't be much effort anyway.
This also made Shen Yiyi very satisfied.
"……………………"
Looking at him, he is different from Doctor Wang. You can tell at first glance that he has seen the world.
Looking at the large-scale bear meat processing scene in front of her, even she felt it was too shocking and was just about to join in and join in the fun.
The people from the Huotou Camp started shouting at the top of their lungs.
"It's time for dinner! Come get your meal first, and then work after you finish eating."
As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of thousands of people stood up and went into their tents like ants moving house.
After a while, they took out their food and ran towards the Huotou Camp while discussing excitedly.
Shen Yiyi was also very curious about what they were having for lunch, so she ran over to watch.
When I saw the huge thing they were carrying, I almost burst out laughing.
“Hahahaha……………………” She laughed so hard that she got a stitch in the side.
I thought their food bowls would be filled with pieces of chopped meat, but what they got back were bones.
The funniest thing is that the bear is big in size, and for fear of wasting food, Huotouying stewed bear bones full of meat at noon today.
Even though it was divided into several small portions, their food bowls were simply unable to hold all the food.
It required one person to hold it carefully, and the other two had to support it on the side, but the soldiers were very happy.
The thinnest one was as thick as their waists. I had never seen bones so thick and big in my entire life.
What's more, there is still so much meat on it. The method is also taught by Shen Yiyi. Herbs are added when boiling the bones.
Not only was there no peculiar smell, but there was also an irresistible aroma of meat. I quickly found a spacious place.
It takes five or six people's food bowls to place underneath to support the big bone on top, and the big bone is full of tender meat.
They couldn't wait to put their heads over and start chewing on it, their eyes filled with uncontrollable surprise.
"It smells so good! It smells so good!" an old soldier shouted excitedly.
Then he went over and tore off a large piece of meat, chewing it until his mouth was full of oil. In his entire life, he had never enjoyed eating meat so much.
It would not be a loss even if he died, and when he shouted this, the others followed suit.
“Delicious, delicious, delicious!” They never dreamed that they could eat bear meat and enjoy it so much.
Then have a bite of wild vegetables stewed in bear bone soup, and it’s simply not enough.
Seeing how excited they were about eating, the others who hadn’t received the bones yet couldn’t wait to look forward.
They licked their lips greedily but still grinned because it would soon be their turn.
I could also eat meat as much as they did, but I didn’t have to wait too long and soon got the bear bones as I wished.
Just like those people, they gathered in groups of three or five, gnawing on bear bones and eating wild vegetable soup.
It was so delicious that we couldn't help but exclaim in surprise and laugh heartily at each other.
Seeing them eating so happily, Shang Zhanchen, who usually had an icy face, also curled up the corners of his mouth.
"……………………"
It’s no wonder they were so happy. Even I didn’t expect that they would eat meat with such big mouthfuls.
Thinking of the difficult days in the past few days, I felt very emotional and looked at Shen Yiyi who was standing beside me.
There was unconcealable joy in his eyes.
"……………………"
The soldiers can have enough food to eat, all thanks to him, the Crown Princess.
Shen Yiyi's attention was now focused on the soldiers, watching them happily gnawing on the big bone.
He was also grinning, mainly because it looked funny. I have never seen anyone who chews a bone without using his hands, but just puts it into his mouth.
"General Zhan, look how much they are eating......" Shen Yiyi hadn't finished her words.
His eyes met Shang Zhanchen's and he was stunned at that moment.
“Is there something wrong with me?” Then, he looked at himself again.
I didn't feel anything was wrong, I just didn't know why he was staring at me like that.
Shang Zhanchen, who was caught in the act, did not show any embarrassment on his face, but rather seemed quite calm.
"Miss Shen, it's all thanks to Miss Shen that the soldiers can have enough food. All the soldiers of Zhan Modai would like to thank Miss Shen.
When he returns to the capital, he will definitely ask for merit for Miss Shen in front of the emperor."
As Shang Zhanchen spoke, he bowed to Shen Yiyi in a serious manner. He was not lying to her.
He ensured that hundreds of thousands of soldiers would not go hungry and helped heal their wounds. When he returned to the palace, he would report truthfully to his father and all the court officials.
Let them know how kind and virtuous their Crown Princess is, and that her contribution to the Shang Dynasty is no less than that of the men fighting on the battlefield.
After hearing what he said before, Shen Yiyi was quite happy and was about to wave her hand to show modesty.
But when he heard that he wanted to recommend himself for credit in front of the emperor, alarm bells went off and he immediately refused.
"No, no, General Zhan, you don't have to ask for credit for me in front of the emperor, I just helped a little.
I think you know my personality. I don't care much about fame and fortune, so General Zhan doesn't need to ask for my credit in front of the emperor." After saying this, he forced a smile.
If she went to the emperor to claim credit, her identity would definitely be exposed. Not only would she not get any credit, she might even have to eat steamed buns in a prison cell.
“……………………”Shang Zhanchen’s mouth curled slightly.
As soon as I saw Shen Yiyi's nervous look, I guessed what she was thinking, but I still pretended to bow to her.
"Ms. Shen's broad mind makes me admire her."
