Chapter 115 Summer is coming

Bamboo shoots are actually available all year round, but spring bamboo shoots and winter bamboo shoots are the most delicious. They have high nutritional value and can also supplement the human body with various dietary fibers. This is a real good thing.

Unfortunately, after leaving the production area, it is generally difficult to eat fresh bamboo shoots in other places, and at most they are dried bamboo shoots.

Of course, the reason why Zhou Xu was so happy at this time was not because of his appetite.

To be honest, although bamboo shoots are a local specialty of his hometown, Zhou Xu himself doesn't particularly like to eat them, let alone the dried ones, even the fresh spring bamboo shoots that are tender and crispy.

The reason, to put it bluntly, is that outsiders can't eat it and locals are tired of it.

Leaving aside the product of bamboo shoots, bamboo itself is also very valuable. It can be used as medicine, and can also be used to weave baskets and make various handicrafts. It was one of the main raw materials for his grandmother's handicrafts.

In addition, if this bamboo forest had appeared in front of him earlier, the problem of filling the water could be solved more easily.

After all, bamboo tubes are natural containers.

Without polishing at all, few plants can grow as neatly as bamboo.

But even if we ignore these, bamboo still plays a very important role for Zhou Xu at this time!

That is used to make bamboo bows!

In addition to playing the "Dragon Climbing Sword" when he was a child, he also occasionally played a role as a ranger with a bow on his back.

Bamboo itself is very tough, so making a bamboo bow with it is not very difficult and the cost is also very low.

When I was a child, my ideas were relatively simple and my work was very crude and crude. It was essentially a toy and had no lethality...

Hmm. It’s a big problem if it has lethality...

Now that I have grown up and my thinking is clearer, I can completely upgrade on that basis to comprehensively improve the performance of the bamboo bow.

Just as he was told, Zhou Xu directly called Zhou Chongshan and others, and began to wander around the bamboo forest cutting bamboos and digging bamboo shoots.

During this period, he even sent a person back to bring more people to help.

At this point in time, Zhou Xu didn't have much idea how many bamboo shoots to dig. After all, there was no shortage of food in the barren mountain camp for the time being.

But the demand for bamboo undoubtedly increased all of a sudden. People were called in, and the focus was to cut more bamboo back.

The research and development of bamboo bows requires the consumption of bamboo. After the research and development is successful, it is even more necessary to produce large quantities of bamboo.

According to the plan in his mind, he basically just needs to chop as much bamboo as possible, and when the transportation team arrives, he will start transporting it to the Black Moon Camp in batches.

That's right, he has no plans to conduct research and development at the Barren Mountain Camp.

Zhuang Mengdie is there at the Black Moon Camp. If you want to develop and make things, those skillful hands will be in vain.

Instead of letting him immerse himself in the trouble, it is better to bring Zhuang Mengdie with him, which will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

In this way, during this period, except for the plowing of new fields and the large-scale transfer and planting of crops that directly affect the food output in the barren mountain camp, other work can be put aside first.

The most important thing right now is to quickly collect bamboo, which is an important raw material.

Following Zhou Xu's order, the Huangshan Camp was operating at full capacity.

During this period when the tribe members were all busy, Zhou Xu himself lived a very leisurely life, but it was not easy.

After a large amount of mantra power is consumed, the dizzy feeling is not pleasant.

The main thing he does every day now, besides paying attention to the cultivation of new fields, is to rest.

Because the day before he left the barren mountain camp was getting closer and closer. Before that, he had to quickly regain his strength and use the 'Eye of Insight' to confirm the remaining panels.

On this day, according to reports from his subordinates, Shi Lei, who led the transportation team, successfully arrived at the barren mountain camp.

"leader!"

At this time, Shi Lei's face was completely gray and dusty.

I guess I just arrived here, and I didn't even have time to rest and wash up, so I hurried over to see him, the leader.

"Shi Lei, thank you for your hard work along the way. You should know the general situation. You should have a night's rest first. I will tell you about various things here tomorrow morning."

"yes!"

After agreeing, Shi Lei couldn't help but ask as he looked at Zhou Xu, who had a tired look on his face and was obviously exhausted...

"Chief, what are you doing?"

Facing Shi Lei's inquiry, Zhou Xu took two seconds to react, and his whole spirit seemed to be in a trance.

"Oh me? It's nothing serious. It's just that I have used up too much strength in the past two days and am really tired. As a result, my reaction has become a bit sluggish now."

Having said this, Zhou Xu was in a trance again, and then he forced himself to express...

"Anyway, let's take a rest first, and then we'll talk about other things after we've rested."

After saying that, Zhou Xu, who had originally planned to go back to the tent to rest, stopped dilly-dallying and returned to the tent safely under the escort of Zhou Chongshan.

At this moment, he only felt that his head seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and with a 'thud' sound, he plunged his head onto the animal skin mat, and fell asleep as if in a coma.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Chongshan was obviously used to it.

This period of time was more difficult than Zhou Xu expected. There were more than a hundred people waiting for him to confirm the panel at the barren mountain camp.

According to his plan, he wanted to read all the panels of more than a hundred people before leaving.

Now it seems that he made a mistake in judgment and was too confident in his own strength.

In the past two days, he had seen almost half of the people there. Even if he rested for a few more days before leaving, he would still be too much to watch, but it would be too much of a delay for him to stay in this barren mountain camp until he had finished watching.

.

So after waking up from his sleep, he made a decision.

[This time I return to the Black Moon Camp. Anyway, I have to take another fifty people away from here. I won’t read these fifty people for now. Just read through the ones I want to stay here. ]

After subtracting fifty people, there was not much left. Zhou Xu, who had determined this idea, successfully completed the job after two days of rest.

What is regrettable during this period is that so far, except for Zhao Geng, there really is no talent here.

Taking advantage of the gap between these two days, he had already explained everything to Shi Lei, and now Zhou Xu had no intention of staying here any longer.

After the order was given, the wooden carts of their transport team were filled with bamboo, and the group of people set off directly on the return journey.

Zhou Xu, who left the mountain forest area and entered the Gobi area, clearly felt the increase in ambient temperature.

【The weather is definitely above 30 degrees, right?】

Looking up at the dazzling sun, Zhou Xu clearly realized that summer was coming!
Chapter completed!
