I learned skills in a different world

Chapter 49 Learning to make tools on the ancient border (5)

The other generals were a little curious, and General Chu agreed.

It was Lin Feng's first time entering the military camp, and he was a little nervous unconsciously. His legs were weakening when he saw General Chu and the imposing generals.

But when he saw Shen Fang's calm look, he calmed down a little.

Shen Fangshi was indeed not very nervous. In his previous life, he had seen many high-status leaders.

But when he looked at General Chu, who was sitting in the chair, he felt vaguely familiar for some reason.

When Shen Fangshi and the two men looked at the generals, they were also observing Shen Fangshi and the two men.

Both of them looked like teenagers. Due to lack of nutrition, they were a little sallow and thin, but the younger one was actually very calm when he saw them, and he didn't show any timidity at all.

Chu Kui's gaze paused on Shen Fangshi for a moment, feeling that his eyes were very beautiful, clear and calm, and although his face was respectful, there was a touch of alienation in his eyes.

Lin Feng and Shen Fangshi saluted and said: "Lin Feng, a common man/Lin Gu has seen the general."

Chu Kui turned away and looked at Lin Feng. This young man was walking in front. Naturally, he wanted to ask him, "Why are you here today?"

Shen Fangshi nodded to Lin Feng. Lin Feng was a little nervous, but he still said as he had prepared before: "General, we have found a food called sweet potato. It tastes sweet and is very filling. We came here to inform the general."

"Oh?" Chu Kui noticed what Lin Feng was holding and became slightly interested, "Bring it up and let me take a look."

"General, this one is raw, and these two are roasted. You can eat them both." Lin Feng handed the sweet potatoes and sweet potato vine leaves to the nearest general, who presented them to them.

Chu Kui looked at the three sweet potatoes on the desk. Two of them were burnt black on the surface, but exuded a sweet smell.

When they glanced at Shen Fang again, they somehow felt that this young boy was the dominant one between the two, but seeing that he kept his eyes lowered and his expression calm, Chu Kui couldn't tell anything.

After thinking about it, Chu Kui was ready to pick one up and try it.

"No, General, let us try it first." The other generals quickly stopped him.

"No need." Chu Kui refused. He somehow felt that Lin Gu was trustworthy.

I picked up a roasted sweet potato, peeled it and took a bite. It tasted unexpectedly good, soft, waxy and sweet.

Others couldn't stop him and could only look at General Chu nervously, fearing that this sweet potato was poisonous.

After waiting for a while, I felt nothing, except that it tasted good.

Chu Kui simply ate the whole one.

Shen Fangshi glanced at Chu Kui strangely. He didn't expect the general to be so careless. Did he really trust them?

The others could not help but salivate when they saw Chu Kui eating with gusto. The sweet potato aroma penetrated their noses.

The scribe couldn't help but said: "General, how does it taste?"

"Not bad." Chu Kui spat out two words, then reached out and reached for another roasted sweet potato on the desk.

"...The general also has two sweet potatoes. Let's show them to us to see if what these two friends said is true." The scribe couldn't help but said directly.

One of the two remaining sweet potatoes is raw. Fortunately, there is a stove in the military camp, so you can just pick it up and roast it directly.

The sweet potatoes were a little small for a few big men. After they finished eating two sweet potatoes, their unanimous feeling was, well, this stuff is very sweet and delicious, but it’s just not enough for them to fill their teeth. Just have a little more. .

After everyone verified the authenticity of the sweet potatoes, the scribe asked: "The two young friends, I live in Luqing, are military advisors under General Chu's account. I wonder where you found these sweet potatoes?"

The scribe was still polite, but Shen Fangshi still keenly heard the urgency in his tone.

Lin Feng was a little nervous when he saw so many majestic generals and big men, but Lu Qing looked gentle, a standard scholar, and spoke softly. Facing his questions, he relaxed unconsciously.

Lin Feng said without hesitation: "In Yanyan Mountain, it was Xiao Kui who found it first. Xiao Kui also said that this sweet potato seems to have a high yield and can be planted..."

As he spoke, he also told the origin of the name sweet potato.

Sure enough, after Lin Feng finished speaking, everyone looked at Shen Fangshi.

"..." Seeing Lin Feng say everything without any warning, Shen Fangshi's eyes twitched slightly, thinking that "we" seemed to trust each other.

Shen Fangshi had no choice but to say in front of everyone's gaze: "Yes, there are many such sweet potatoes in Yanyan Mountain near the deep mountains. And there are many sweet potatoes on each vine, so I said the yield is very high, but I don't know How many more are there in the mountains and forests?”

Everyone was thinking thoughtfully. These generals were not fools. Even those who could become generals could not be simple reckless men. They must have certain strategic intelligence.

After tasting sweet potatoes and listening to what Shen Fangshi said about the yield of sweet potatoes, they immediately discovered the importance of sweet potatoes.

Therefore, they all attach a lot of importance to sweet potatoes.

In the end, Chu Kui sent two hundred people to follow Shen Fangshi and the two of them into the mountains to find sweet potatoes.

No matter how many manpower they have, they can't come up with it. Not to mention the frequent movements of the Humang people. They need soldiers to fight and quell the war. Even the major checkpoints also need soldiers to garrison.

Shen Fangshi couldn't help but feel a little happier when he saw that General Chu was moving so quickly. He had just heard about sweet potatoes and was going into the mountains to look for them.

After I cast a sleeping spell on the people in the camp last night, I went to the depths of Yanyan Mountain. I used the "Greenwood Changchun Jue" to pretend that the sweet potatoes and potatoes looked like they were growing in the ground, and scattered the sweet potatoes and potatoes into various varieties. Fifteen thousand catties.

As soon as Chu Kui's order came out, it didn't take long for the two hundred soldiers to assemble.

The general who led the team this time was the general in charge of grain and grass, named Li You. He was already old and looked inconspicuous among the generals, but he acted very calmly and was suitable for managing grain and grass logistics.

Shen Fangshi handed the sweet potato vine to Li You, "General Li, we found the sweet potato here. You can find it when you see the vine leaves."

"Okay." Li You took it. There were dozens of leaves on this sweet potato vine.

"All soldiers obeyed the order, and they were divided into groups of ten, led by the commander, to search for plants with such leaves."

With that said, he gave a sweet potato leaf to each team.

It must be said that Chu Kui is very good at running the army. Shen Fangshi followed Li You and others into the mountains. After all, he still needed to guide them.

At this time, he saw that the two hundred soldiers were well-trained and executed orders quickly and uniformly. It can be seen that Chu Kui ruled strictly and managed the army well.

After the soldiers entered the mountain, they quickly searched in all directions for the place Shen Fangshi mentioned according to the order, and soon a team found it.
