Li Mengxi informed the traveling caravan that if they want to buy chickens, ducks and geese, it is best to buy females, which can lay eggs. Of course, you can also buy roosters and ducks. There is a shortage of meat in the army, so there is no way to have too much meat.

Li Mengxi only told You Qi about buying chickens, ducks and geese, but not Liu Bei yet.

After all, this stocking and supply method was summed up by Li Mengxi before he went to bed when he remembered that a lot of fish intestines were wasted when killing fish at the river, and then he remembered that he could use these useless fish intestines and gills to raise some egg-laying chickens and ducks.

Category 5 supply method.

The traveling caravans had no harvest for the whole day. As evening approached, one of the two caravans came back with half a cart of wheat straw and several poultry, including chickens and ducks.

Liu Bei met the caravan and saw the duck on the car. When he asked, he found out that Li Mengxi had specially bought it.

The special explanation means that Liu Bei may have some plans. This is what Liu Bei thinks.

Liu Bei rode over to deliver the duck to Li Mengxi. From a distance, he saw Liu Bei holding something in his hand and quacking. His younger brother also heard the duck's quacking, so he quickly climbed over and looked over.

"Brother! It's Yaya!" The younger brother pointed happily and said.

Ducks are not a rare thing, but after the army has been out for a long time, a quacking duck looks so happy.

A reed duck has gray feathers, a ring of green feathers around its neck, yellow paws, and a yellow beak. It looks very fat.

He took the fat duck and hung it under the car window.

The younger brother saw the duck and liked it. The younger brother stretched out his little hand to pat the duck gently. The duck was impatient with his younger brother's harassment and quacked in disgust.

The younger brother giggled happily, his eyes turning into crescent moons.

Seeing his younger brother having fun, Li Mengxi couldn't help but smile.

When you buy a duck, what does it mean? It means that you will have eggs to eat in two or three days.

But how to place this duck? Li Mengxi scratched his head.

It's definitely not possible to put them on the car. Chickens and ducks are excrement-making machines. If you put the ducks on the car, you don't want to sleep in the car.

I have to go to Lu Li and ask him to make a duck cage for me.

Liu Bei curiously asked Li Mengxi, "Xi'er, are you buying this duck to eat?"

Liu Bei asked deliberately, but the answer would not be that simple.

"No, it's not for eating, it's for raising and laying eggs." Through the car window, Li Mengxi told Liu Bei the method of raising and supplying food that he had realized. "Xuan Degong also knows that our army has been marching along the river recently and setting up camp every day.

, the fishing team went out fishing and caught a lot of fish.

If you catch a hundred kilograms of fish a day, including fish gills, fish intestines, etc., it’s not just twenty or thirty kilograms?

Fish gills, fish intestines and other items are not edible by humans.

However, if you use fish gills and fish intestines to feed chickens and ducks, you can feed several chickens and ducks without consuming any grain or grass.

These chickens and ducks lay several eggs every day, isn’t it a waste of money?”

After Li Mengxi finished speaking, Liu Bei was surprised and remained speechless for a long time.

Liu Bei was finally convinced. Every bit of fish intestines and gills were plotted by Li Mengxi.

Just like what Li Mengxi said, after fishing every day, after disemboweling the fish, the gills, intestines and other objects are thrown into the river, at least thirty or twenty kilograms. These thirty twenty kilograms of gills and fish are thrown into the river.

If you feed chickens and ducks in the intestines, you can raise at least twenty or thirty chickens and ducks.

Li Mengxi is very good at management, which is evident from this.

Using fish gills to raise chickens doesn’t cost a single grain.

While we were talking, it was already evening.

"I'm going to make a cage." Li Mengxi said.

"Go." Liu Bei smiled and rode away for a while.

Li Mengxi arrived at the carpentry camp and gave the quacking duck to Lu Li.

"Lu Li, why don't you get some wooden sticks and make a duck cage?" Li Mengxi sent another chore.

Lu Li was carrying the duck with a smile on his face just like the others. When he saw the fat duck, he also had a smile on his face.

"It's done!" Lu Li nodded, "We'll make the Hei'er cage as soon as possible."

The duck cage should be relatively simple. Lu Licai said that it can be done in the dark.

This is the first time, the first time Lu Li dares to make such a guarantee.

"Military advisor, we have built the boat again, let's see how it looks." Lu Li said, and took Li Mengxi to a cart parked on the right side of the road.

On the cart, a new osprey boat was braked with hemp ropes. Lu Li put the duck on the cart, and he and the driver were about to unload the osprey boat from the cart.

Before the boat was unloaded, Li Mengxi felt at first glance that the boat seemed much larger than the first osprey boat he made yesterday.

Li Mengxi frowned. His original intention was to make the fishing boat as lightweight as possible so that the fishing team could carry it away. If it was too heavy, it would violate the original intention.

The osprey boat was lifted off the car by Lu Li and the driver and placed on the ground.

Li Mengxi lowered his head and looked at the boat again and again.

Generally speaking, this is the second Osprey boat made. It is about a quarter larger than the original one, and there are two long crescent-shaped cabins on the left and right, and the cabin is deeper.

In short, I feel that this ship is more reliable than the first one.

"Lu Li, will this ship sink again?" Li Mengxi asked casually.

"...It won't sink, right?" Lu Li hesitated.

Li Mengxi felt strange. Why was Lu Li frowning? What's wrong?

Li Mengxi then asked what difficulty Lu Li had encountered.

"Military advisor, if you use wooden planks to build the cabin, water will still enter. You have to use raw paint and glue." Lu Li said bluntly what the problem was.

raw lacquer.

Where can I find raw lacquer?

There is also isinglass. When ancient people made bows and arrows, they seemed to use isinglass as the adhesive in the middle of the composite materials of the bow body.

Isinglass can be used to make bows and arrows, and it can also be used to make shipbuilding glue.

How to make isinglass, Li Mengxi didn't know.

You need to find a professional. For example, a bow and arrow craftsman may know how to make isinglass.

When Li Mengxi thought about it, it seemed that there really was an old craftsman who made bows and arrows in the army.

I still vaguely remember that this craftsman was a talent selected from the Yellow Turbans in Qingyun Mountain after they surrendered.

Generally speaking, the technical talents selected are put into the baggage train.

At that time, Li Mengxi forgot where the old craftsman who knew how to make bows and arrows was. He couldn't remember.

"Paint may not be easy to get. Later, I can help you find where to get glue." Li Mengxi said to Lu Li.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lu Li nodded.

Li Mengxi was about to leave to find the crossbow craftsman and isinglass.

"Yingzheng, this duck..."

"Let your carpentry camp go, I don't have anywhere to put it."

After speaking, Li Mengxi walked out of the carpenter camp.

At this time, camps were just beginning to be set up everywhere, and there was a mess of people.

Where were the bow and arrow craftsmen selected at that time? Li Mengxi scratched his head.

I have to ask Liu Bei or Guan Yu, I can't remember.

"You cavalry!" Li Mengxi waved to a cavalryman.

It's just like blocking the road to hail a motorcycle. The motorcycle came over upon hearing the greeting.

Then, riding on the Youqi horse, Li Mengxi went directly to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was patrolling around and arranging camps.

Li Mengxi came and told his story directly, "Lu Li and the others made the osprey boat, but water still came in. Lu Li said that glue and paint are needed to waterproof it.

Lacquer is hard to come by, but one person remembered that craftsmen who make crossbows use isinglass to make bow arms.

It just so happens that our army's fishing team goes out to fish every day when setting up camp. If we knew how to make isinglass, wouldn't we have glue?

A few days ago, the Yellow Turban of Qingyun Mountain voted for me. When selecting talents, there seemed to be an old man who made bows. Where did the old man go at that time? Does Mr. Xuande still remember?" Li Mengxi asked.

When Li Mengxi asked, Liu Bei raised his head and thought for a long time.

I'm scratching my head thinking about it and can't remember clearly.

As a last resort, Li Mengxi and Liu Bei started their search from scratch, until they found the baggage train and the carpentry camp. Only then did they discover that the old man who had been a craftsman was originally assigned to the carpentry camp because the old man was also good at carpentry. Now he is doing some work in the carpentry camp.

Chores.

This is funny. I left the carpentry camp to look for the bow and arrow craftsman. I searched around and found it again.

"Old man, you can make it easy for me to find him." Liu Bei smiled and got off his horse.
