241 Fruitful
"Ms. Vilodis is currently leading a cattle-catching team to catch cattle in the wasteland outside. Now the caves are basically full. As a last resort, we have dug several new cold storages suitable for storing beef."
Friday, the loyal loser, introduced the results to Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng nodded to express his satisfaction, and then went to the cold storage with Friday and transferred all the hundreds of tons of beef to the space. After all, the cold storage was full.
If we don't clean it up, there will be no place to store the beef brought back by Bilodis and the others.
All this beef in the modern world is money! There can be no waste!
"By the way, where's Bloom?"
Xiao Feng asked casually, and this time it was Knight Kyle who answered: "I went out on patrol. Since the beginning of spring, our sentries have been outside the city wall, and we have constantly found traces of orcs. They are probably sent by orcs.
spies. They must have known our location, but they have never sent an army to attack. Obviously they want to know more about our situation. Summer has come recently, and I discussed it with Bloom, and I don’t feel like it’s right.
Don’t worry, he decided to lead the team outside to expand the patrol area, so that if he finds an army of orcs coming, he can give an early warning."
Xiao Feng was very satisfied with Bloom and Kyle's ability to maintain such a high degree of vigilance. After all, this was his foundation in another world. It was worth resting to have such people responsible for guarding him when he was away.
"By the way, where are the people from Yingzhou? What have you been busy with recently?"
"They built a few ships, and recently they went out to hunt cattle with Lord Vilodis!"
Xiao Feng was very surprised by Friday's answer. Seeing Xiao Feng's confused look, he quickly explained.
"That's right, they took the waterway. After Lady Biluodis led the team to hunt the bison in the wilderness, she pulled all the cattle to the river and loaded them on the boat. After all, the boat could hold more cattle, and they could still put them on.
They brought a lot of ice with them to ensure that the beef does not spoil. Once the ship is full, they can quickly transport the cattle back by water. Their shipping speed is much faster than traveling by land. This can improve fishing
The efficiency of cattle increases the radius of cattle hunting.”
Hearing Friday's explanation, Xiao Feng was really surprised. He really underestimated the wisdom of the local indigenous people and thought of a method of division of labor and cooperation so quickly. Sure enough, human beings who have been influenced by a civilized society will use their minds and bodies more effectively.
wisdom.
No wonder the beef in the cave was stored so quickly this time, so much so that in order to expand the reserves, they dug a few more caves. It seems to be the result of a significant increase in hunting efficiency and radius.
"Very good. When they come back this time, I will give them credit."
Xiao Feng was very satisfied with the people of Yingzhou. They took the initiative to contribute to the base area so quickly. Of course, such people must be entrusted with important responsibilities. What's more, in the future, he will still count on these people to help him with his caviar business.
"What about the dwarves Groin and Dean? What are they busy with recently?"
Xiao Feng asked about the current situation of the dwarves again, and this time it was Keira who introduced the situation: "Gero Yin has been busy expanding his iron workshop recently. Dean found iron ore on the nearby hilltop, and his blacksmith
The production capacity of his blacksmith shop has expanded a lot. Now that we have so many more people here, there is a shortage of iron everywhere, and his blacksmith shop is extremely busy. Dean has recently found a lot of cement batching mines that you mentioned, and he has been following the instructions recently.
The method you gave him is being developed and trial-produced for cement production, and a batch has been successfully produced, all of which are used in road hardening, and he is also busy expanding production capacity."
After listening to Keira's introduction, Xiao Feng was very satisfied with the results of the dwarves' work.
"What about the black elves and the others? Where are they? Take me there and have a look."
Since he rescued many black elves last time and learned that these guys are good at farming and brewing wine, Xiao Feng regards these black elves as an important piece of territory for his future career development.
Especially the fine wine they brew has brought him real benefits. It is necessary to expand production capacity in the future, otherwise how can he expand in the modern world!
Soon Friday they brought Xiao Feng to the workplace of the black elves. Because Xiao Feng showed special importance to the black elves before, Friday and Keira decided to divide a large area for them on the east side of the cave platform.
Living place.
Here, these black elves are not only responsible for domesticating cattle and sheep that cannot be caught in the wild, but also researching crop breeding, planting fruit trees, and making wine.
Xiao Feng first inspected the cattle and sheep domestication and breeding farm that the Black Elves were responsible for. Although it was very simple, it could be seen that the Black Elves' work was very effective. At least the bison and wild horses that looked wild when they were just captured,
Wild sheep seem to be much tame now.
Each of the livestock has grown fat and strong, and they have been able to survive the winter safely without losing a lot of their numbers due to cold weather or lack of food. It can be seen that their work is very effective.
But what interests Xiao Feng the most is the orchard that has been formed at the foot of the mountain. In the orchard, many black elves can be seen working, and Majes, the leader, keeps walking in the fields, watching.
With the work results of those black elves, once they find something wrong, they will go forward to correct it, or even teach them personally.
When he learned that Xiao Feng had come to inspect, Majesz even trotted to Xiao Feng and reported to him the results of his recent work with a smile.
"Thirty acres of orchards have been cultivated, and many fruit trees have been transplanted from the mountains. They are all mature fruit trees. The main work now is to eliminate pests and prevent pests. The fruits are basically already bearing. In autumn, it will be the harvest season. Picking
You can make wine directly when you come down. In addition, I have asked people to pick a lot of fruits from the mountain and have already started making wine. However, the quality of these fruits is relatively average, and the quality of the wine produced is probably average."
Majes has very high requirements for the quality of wine, but to Xiao Feng, even if it is an average-quality fruit wine, in the modern world, for those who are exposed to this kind of otherworldly fruit wine for the first time, it is already
Rarely delicious.
And this world is so unique. Those fruit trees growing in the wild can still produce sweet fruits without careful artificial cultivation. These black elves don't even need to replant fruit tree seedlings to slowly cultivate them.
All you need to do is transplant some fruit trees from the mountains. If the fruit farmers on the earth, who spend several years growing fruit trees and wait carefully until they bloom and bear fruit, find out, wouldn't they be so jealous that they explode on the spot?
The news of Xiao Feng's return was soon reported to Bilodis and the others who were hunting outside by flying pigeons on Friday. As a result, the next morning, Bilodis and the others returned together on the Yingzhou people's boat.
base.
Seeing Xiao Feng standing on the shore with a smile on his face, Bilodis threw herself into his arms. After getting along for such a long time, Xiao Feng had already changed from the initial savior to her backbone.
After comforting Biluodis, Xiao Feng saw Ying Ran standing in front of him with his shirt down. This Yingzhou general's skin was darker than before, his figure was much thicker, and his overall energy and energy had recovered.
Yes, it can be seen that the tribal life during this period of time has allowed him and the sailors to recover well.
At this time, the sailors were carrying beef under the ship. The beef was packed in large wooden barrels. About one-third of the ice cubes were placed under the barrels and covered with beef. Unexpectedly, these guys actually knew about ice.
The principle of bucket preservation.
"Sir, these are the results of this hunting trip..."
Ying Ran reported to Xiao Feng, while Xiao Feng focused his attention on the ship built by the Yingzhou people.
There are three wooden ships in total. They are similar in shape to ancient Chinese ships. However, there are still some differences. This ship is about thirty meters long. Because this world is rich in tall trees, we are looking for a suitable shipbuilder.
The keel is not a difficult task.
Xiao Feng was very curious and boarded the ship. The ship used sails as power, and it also used hard sails similar to those in ancient China. However, it also had soft sails on the bow, a keel design, and there were also sails under the ship.
It is designed with a watertight compartment, and the most interesting thing is that both ends of the boat are equipped with rudders, so it is very flexible to change direction in the river.
There are also parapets designed on both sides of the ship's side, which are prepared for combat. Looking at the whole ship, it has a bit of the shadow of ancient Chinese warships, but also has a bit of the color of a fishing boat, and the design of the two rudders,
It is very similar to the ships of the Ming Dynasty in China. The combination of soft and hard sails combines the advantages of Western ships and Eastern ships in his world. In short, this ship looks very different, but in this world, it is definitely the same.
A very qualified inland river vessel.
And it is very comprehensive, suitable for fishing and transportation, and very suitable for combat. Under the leadership of Ying Ran, after understanding the design of the entire ship, Xiao Feng couldn't help but sigh, he really underestimated the capabilities of the natives in this world.
wisdom.
Think about it again, the people of Yingzhou have been living in this world by fishing for hundreds of years, and they must have a lot of experience in ship design.
Although Xiao Feng doesn't know much about shipbuilding, he also knows that such ships are currently only suitable for use in inland canals. If the sea conditions are good, they can sail a certain distance offshore. If he wants to set off to the ocean, he may still
Needs a lot of improvements.
But he is not anxious about these anymore. These ships are local ships that Xiao Feng asked the Yingzhou people to trial-produce. The purpose is to understand the level of human shipbuilding in this world. After understanding their ships, Xiao Feng will
