On October 27, Li Mengxi woke up to the sound of the sergeants' drills in the camp.

Li Mengxi got up in a hurry, put on his clothes and shoes, yawned and got up, got out of the car, stood on a high place and looked towards the source of the sound, and saw that soldiers were training on the training ground early in the morning.

That's it.

Recently, due to the continuous fighting, all military training has been stopped. Today, Guan Yu and Liu Bei have a free day. They all feel that since they have a free day, it is better to train instead of letting the soldiers do nothing.

Li Mengxi was watching here. He turned around and saw Lu Zhong coming out of the camp not far away.

The two nodded in greeting from afar.

As far as Lu Zhong is concerned, there are differences everywhere in Liu Bei's army.

While marching outside, Liu Beijun worked hard to train without missing a day. This was something that could not be seen among the officers and soldiers led by his uncle Lu Zhi.

Liu Bei's army was obviously a local hero, but he was more like an official than an official army. Lu Zhong felt emotional many times.

"Brother, I can't find my shoes." Behind him, the younger brother called Li Mengxi to look for shoes.

Li Mengxi then went to find shoes for his younger brother.

It is late autumn and the weather is getting cold, but the two brothers still wear straw sandals.

Li Mengxi picked up his brother's straw sandals from under the car, and when he held them in his hand, they were covered with frost and felt cool.

"Xiao Bian, are your feet cold?" Li Mengxi looked at his younger brother covering his little feet and felt something was wrong.

"Brother, are you cold?" Xiao Bian covered his little feet and raised his head to ask his brother.

"I feel a little cold." Li Mengxi smiled.

"Then I'm cold too!" Xiao Bian followed.

It seems that Xiao Bian has to be like his brother.

If Li Mengxi said it was hot, then Xiaozhuan also had to say it was hot.

It's getting cold, so I can't wear straw sandals.

Gotta make socks.

There is a lot of fabric in the army, so you can easily find someone to make socks.

I'll find someone to make socks soon.

Now, let's go have a meal.

For breakfast, the two brothers still had an egg each, followed by porridge and pancakes. At this time of year, there were no wild vegetables and no vegetables.

Halfway through the meal, Li Mengxi groaned and suddenly remembered something.

beans!

I soaked some beans last night and planned to grind them into soy milk to drink. I soaked the beans overnight, but I don’t know if they were soaked properly.

"Brick, you eat it, brother, go look at the beans!"

After saying that, Li Mengxi put down his chopsticks and ran away.

"I'll go too!" Xiao Zhuan hurriedly took the pancake and ran behind Li Mengxi.

The beans were placed at the military doctor's office. Only the military doctor's office had many basins and plenty of clean water.

When Li Mengxi and his brother arrived, military doctor Tian Bu was bending over to look at the beans in the water.

"Has it been soaked?" Li Mengxi stood on tiptoe to look.

"Okay." Tian Bu smiled and handed a plump bean to Li Mengxi.

"Wow, it's so big." Li Mengxi praised.

Soaking beans is not something worth celebrating, but now, soaking beans during the march is extraordinary.

"I want to see it too, brother let me see it." The younger brother stood on tiptoe trying hard to see the beans.

Li Mengxi gave the beans to his younger brother.

The younger brother took the beans and was very surprised, "Wow! Brother, these beans are so big."

As you can see, the soaked beans are very big and break into pieces when pinched. They are completely ready for grinding soy milk.

By the way, what about grinding?

Where is Liu Bei?

Li Mengxi then went to find Liu Bei.

When looking for Liu Bei, he still looked up at the flag and saw Liu Bei's handsome flag flying high, so he found the person directly.

There are new improvements every day in the army. For Liu Guan, Zhang Li Mengxi and this small group, it is said that if you pick one mistake every day, there are thousands of omissions in the army. If you improve every day, sooner or later you will become an elite soldier.

Liu Bei was at the carpenter's camp. When Li Mengxi arrived, Liu Bei was playing with a wooden pole.

Seeing Li Mengxi coming, Liu Bei showed Li Mengxi the wooden pole in his hand and said, "Look, Xi'er, you said it points to the hard flag, it's done."

Li Mengxi looked at it and smiled.

Last night, we were talking about making a pointing flag like an arrow. When we talked about arrows, well, Liu Bei actually used an arrow as a pointing flag.

Li Mengxi felt bad at first sight.

Why is it not good to use arrows directly?

Because the shape of the arrow branch is just a line with little fluctuation. It's okay if you get close, you can tell where the arrowhead is and where the arrow feathers are, but if you're a little further away, it's definitely not clear.

The arrows Li Mengxi mentioned are the kind of arrows of later generations that have been artistically exaggerated and enlarged, <—— like this.

Such arrows have very large undulations in shape, so they can be seen clearly from a distance.

As for Liu Bei's behavior of tying arrows to wooden sticks, Li Mengxi did not comment. He leaned over, pulled out the knife from his waist, and drew a standard arrow on the ground <——, "Make it like this."

Li Mengxi only said that he did this, but why he did it, Li Mengxi did not explain.

Liu Bei nodded thoughtfully, "This is good."

Li Mengxi didn't come here just to point the flag.

"Xuan Degong, where is the millstone?" Li Mengxi asked with wide eyes.

——

Liu Bei tilted his head and carried the millstone on his shoulders. This guy was really strong, and he walked steadily while carrying the millstone.

The millstone was carried to the wounded barracks, where it was put down, and then Liu Bei and Li Mengxi watched each other.

Liu Bei thought, the millstone has been brought for you, it is good for grinding.

Li Mengxi's eyes widened and he thought, I don't know how to grind beans, so you can do it.

The two looked at it for a while, and then Li Mengxi asked, "How to grind it?"

Liu Bei was about to instruct Li Mengxi to get water and bring a basin.

"Do we need to find a donkey to pull the grindstone?" Li Mengxi asked seriously.

When Liu Bei reached his words, he stopped.

"...The grinding wheel is so small that you don't need a donkey. If you use a donkey, you have to make a harness. People can push it."

He complained that Li Mengxi said he was looking for a donkey. As soon as he said this, Liu Bei felt that the grinder looked like a donkey, and Liu Bei became less willing to grind the mill.

He wanted to let the military doctor do the grinding and let the military doctor act as a donkey. When he saw Tian Bu's eyes were dark and he was yawning again and again, he seemed very tired in the past two days. Liu Bei couldn't bother Tian Bu anymore.

Behind him followed the flag bearer, who was holding the flag.

Liu Bei has a candidate for La Mo.

After taking the flag from the flag bearer, Liu Bei asked the flag bearer to polish it.

The process of grinding beans is as follows. You need a net bag to receive the soy milk. This net bag filters the bean dregs. You also need a clean bucket to receive the soy milk, and a person to grind the beans.

The flag-bearer knew how to grind beans without being taught. The soaked beans were lost in the grinding eyes. He pushed the grinder with his hand, round and round. After a long time, no soy milk came out. Above, the flag-bearer continued to add beans and continued to grind.

After a long time, a little bit of bean juice finally flowed out of the grinding tank.

This efficiency is too low.

After the bean juice began to appear from the grinding tank, the flagman took a ladle and added water. He added a small amount of water and poured it into the grinding hole.

This time, a lot of the bean juice from the grinding discs on both sides came out.

Li Mengxi originally wanted to wait for the soy milk to be ground and cook it for his brother to drink, but the grinding was so slow that he lost his patience while waiting.

Seeing the flag bearers getting tired from pushing the grinder, Li Mengxi thought to himself, is it so difficult to grind tofu?

Li Mengxi didn't want to stand any longer. He squatted on the ground, leaning on his chin in boredom, watching the flag bearer grind slowly.

When Liu Bei saw this, he thought that he couldn't wait all morning.

Liu Bei called the other three soldiers beside him and said, "The four of you, help grind these beans, one by one. Call me when you are done."

After that, he led Li Mengxi away.

Li Mengxi asked how long it would take to drink the soy milk. The question was not about how long it would take to grind it out, but how long it would take to drink the soy milk. Liu Bei immediately laughed.
