Chapter 1555

"Alas, if you don't say these sad words, the more you say, the more sad you are."

Yang Si waved his hand and signaled that he would skip this slightly heartbreaking topic.

He smacked his mouth. Yang Si felt thirsty and asked the general, "is there any wine in the cabin?"

The benefactor smiled and said, "how can I drink a drink a while ago? Even if the last general faces the military division, the last general can't know the law and break the law? Instead, he put a few baskets of litchi, which he said was just picked yesterday. It's said that it's late ripened. There are small stones and many flesh. Do the military division want to try it fresh?"

Litchi is a rare thing. Although it produces a lot, it is difficult to preserve. Few people living in the north can eat such delicious food.

Even if you can eat it, the value of that litchi is worth a thousand gold. For example, dig out the whole litchi tree and then go north by boat. It costs a lot of manpower and material resources. Ordinary people can't afford it at all. Of course, litchi is not expensive in Litchi producing areas.

Yang Si said with a smile, "you clever ghost, why didn't I hear of litchi coming?"

I will ask people to bring that basket of lychees. The pericarp of this basket of lychees is bright red and has scale like protrusions. It looks excellent.

"There are many litchi in the hometown of Mujiang, and his parents have planted it for local rich families." The benefactor said with a smile, "since the end general followed the Lord, the days of his parents, wife and children have been better. He bought more than ten mu of litchi trees with the money sent back by the end general. This year is a good harvest. It happens that this place is not far from the end general's hometown. It takes three or four days by land, but it only takes more than one day by water all the way down the river."

PI Jiang is a sincere man. He also knows that his military division is powerful. Instead of hiding, he wants to die. He may be hated if he can't please.

He said, "I heard that the military master loved these things, so the general asked his parents to pick some and send them."

When Yang Si was young, he went to study everywhere. Naturally, he also went to the litchi producing area to eat. This thing is really delicious.

"How many baskets are there in the cabin?"

Yang silo, these lychees are full and attractive. They are obviously carefully selected and chilled by special means,

He twirled one, his fingertips a little cool.

As a very cultural eater, Yang Si is also different from others in peeling litchi.

If you peel off the shell bit by bit with your fingernails, it's easy to get dirty. If you don't say, litchi water will stick to your hands and it's not clean.

He twisted the tip of litchi directly with his index finger and thumb and worked a little harder along the line of litchi shell.

With a very slight sound, the litchi shell cracked along the line, revealing the crystal and translucent curd pulp.

The general is still peeling. Yang Si ate two.

"Fifteen baskets have been sent, but the military division wants one basket?"

Seeing that Yang Si peeled clean and fast, he learned his movements. It was really much easier.

Cultural people are cultural people. Peeling litchi is more exquisite than ordinary people, and it looks clean.

"So much?" Yang Si thought about the litchi he had eaten during his study trip. The yield of litchi producing area was really not low. He smiled and said, "leave a basket for Feng prodigal son and general Fu, and give the rest to the soldiers. What is the value of litchi? I'll pay for it."

The general said, "what you grow at home is not worth a few money."

"That's not possible. It's impossible without rules." Yang Si said, "if the Lord knows, she doesn't agree."

Although it is planted by his own family, it doesn't take time and energy to serve the litchi tree. As a military division, he can't take advantage of his own soldiers.

Military generals in troubled times are professions with their heads pinned to their belts. They can't be treated harshly.

PI Jiang could not resist Yang Si and could only accept his kindness.

Yang Si sent soldiers to distribute the baskets of lychees to each ship and share them. One person will have one.

He missed Xie Ze, and the boy was there. He asked someone to give Xie Ze a small half.

"If the war is over and there are lychees, let's eat enough."

The benefactor smiled and said, "if so, I really thank the military division for the local people."

Litchi is indeed a rare thing, but there are not many people who can afford it, and the annual output is relatively high, resulting in no local market for litchi. The price is higher when sold to other places, but it is not easy to preserve, and the preservation cost and transportation cost are terrible.

Yang Si looks a little thin, but he has a big appetite.

If it weren't for the warm nature of litchi, eating more would get angry. He really wanted to help the wall.

After a while, a small pile of litchi shells and nuts had piled up on the deck.

Time passed quickly, as if passing rapidly from your fingers, and the river slowly began to gather some fog.

Yang Si said, "I really let Feng prodigal son say it correctly. When it comes to fog, it starts to fog, and ordered the whole army to be vigilant to prevent the enemy from coming."

The news will be passed on immediately.

"Military division, everything is ready."

Xie was not in the same boat as Yang Si, but he could hear it a little louder.

Yang Si said, "well, tell general Xie to be ready to resist the enemy at any time."

He didn't thank Zee for his neutral voice, so he could only let him convey it on his behalf.

If Yan Lin and others stayed here, they would find that there was something wrong with the ships transporting grain and grass.

Let's start with the appearance of ships. Ordinary warships are the color of wood itself, but Yang Si's appearance of these warships is painted with ink.

Besides, there is a thick and long hemp rope tied between ships!

You know, in order to ensure the mobility of water warfare and prevent being burned by the enemy, ships are generally not connected.

Did Yang Si make a fundamental mistake?

Not really!

Yang Si's making this arrangement is also very meaningful.

Today is a new moon night with extremely dark moonlight. The night is very dark and foggy. It is easy to interfere with the enemy's and our line of sight.

In order to ensure that the fleet formation does not disperse, it is temporarily connected with thick and long hemp rope. If the enemy needs to change the formation, it can be cut off at any time.

In addition, they painted the surface of the ship in ink, which was almost integrated with the night and the river. If there was another heavy fog, let alone that the enemy could not find themselves, they could not even find themselves. It's always convenient to have a rope connected.

"Grain and baggage fleet" according to the original route situation.

With the passage of time, people's nerves also tightened into a line, always worried about the sudden emergence of the enemy.

The general said, "military division, it's getting late. You go into the cabin first to have a rest."

If the enemy comes out, he will attack a wave with arrow rain. Yang Si is easy to be injured by mistake when he stays on the deck.

Yang Si narrowed his eyes, put his index finger against his lips and motioned for the general to keep silent.

"Tell general Xie that if the expectation is good, the enemy will ambush in the waters further ahead -"

You can't shout this time when you send the letter. You just flag it.

Because the two ships are not too far away, they can barely see the message conveyed by the flag.

At the same time, Yan Lin and others are also in full battle readiness.

Half an hour later, the fog was very thick.

Yan Lin pressed his left hand on the handle of his sword, and his eyebrows tightened.

"Not yet?"

At this time, he saw something floating on the water.

Yan Lin immediately ordered someone to salvage it with a net covered pole and take a look——

Litchi shell!

Will lead the way, "how can there be this thing on the river?"

Yan Lin said, "the enemy is coming. Order the soldiers to prepare for war!"

Oh, I really have spare time. I actually ate litchi and scattered it all over the river.
