Chapter 22: Egg Laying
The clay mine of Sean Island, surrounded by dense people, looks from afar two earthen fort-like kilns are being built, and the surrounding trees have been cut down to clear a clearing. Joyce commanded with a sweat on the side, and some of the people were digging clay, and some continued to build the kiln, a scene in full swing.
Previously, Joyce received instructions from Sean to increase the forging of mud bricks, although he didn't know Sean's plan, but after cultivating the wasteland, Joyce was more active in Sean's instructions.
By the time Sean and Taylor arrived at the clay mines, it was already noon the next day, and two brick-burning kilns had been built, surrounded by piles of clay and coal mines. Sean also didn't know much about the working mechanism of the kiln, and didn't know if the kiln in front of him could meet his requirements for firing pottery and bricks.
Joyce asked the lord to continue the work in his hands, walked up to Sean and said: "Lord Lord Ankang, I have built a kiln for burning pottery and bricks according to your orders, if there is no accident, it will be put into use soon, I don't know what your lordship has to say." ”
"Well, that's good, the number of people is limited now, so Joyce, you have to spend a little more time on your side, coordinate the manpower situation, and don't relax in the maintenance of cultivated land, clay mines, coal mines, and catching seafood by the sea. Sean nodded with satisfaction, he didn't expect that the pottery and bricks he had just ordered to go down would begin to take shape in less than two days.
"Rest assured, my lord, these are all arranged, and everyone is working hard to build their homeland. "Now that the cultivation is complete, everyone is engaged in the infrastructure of Sean Island, everything is made from nothing, and he Joyce has the privilege of being a part of it, and as a half-leader, of course, it is a great honor.
"In addition to firing pottery and bricks, you let craftsmen who are familiar with the firing process experiment with making cement. The approximate method is to grind the limestone and clay into a dough, and then calcinate, after calcination, add a small amount of iron and coal dust, as for the proportion, you let the craftsman experiment, and the iron powder is paid for by the castle. ”
"I wanted a material that could either harden itself with water or cement the masonry together: cement. This cement plays a vital role in the construction of the island, and you should hurry up and test it out and let me know as soon as the results are available. According to the information of the identification system, combined with the vague memories of his previous life, Sean probably told Joyce about the manufacturing method of soil cement, as for whether it can be successful, Sean does not dare to confirm, so he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
"Yes, my lord, I will arrange for the craftsmen to test the cement you mentioned, and I will inform you as soon as there is any news. Joyce, though curious about what cement was, didn't ask much about it because of the experience of the plow.
"If you burn pottery, it's enough, and the main material is still on the bricks. In addition, the remuneration of the people should be reasonable, and the people should not be allowed to work without pay. Sean instructed Joyce again.
Now that Sean Island is in the construction stage, a lot of human resources are coordinated by the castle and paid for the work, and the next step is definitely to develop into a small family workshop. But this is also a step-by-step approach.
Sean then returned to the castle accompanied by Taylor, where the clay mining environment was so bad that although there was no way to improve the working environment of the lords, as a lord, he could still avoid appearing in this place.
......
"Good news, Lord Lord, the Colorful Chicken has laid eggs. As soon as he got back to the castle, Jason had good news.
"Laying eggs so soon?" Sean was also a little surprised, the colorful black chicken had only been caught and raised for less than a month, and he didn't expect it to start laying eggs.
Since the egg production has begun, I just don't know how the next hatching will be, if the hatching is successful, it proves that the scale of the colorful black chicken can be expanded soon, and now a colorful black chicken will be slaughtered every week to supply Taylor, if the scale cannot be expanded, less than twenty colorful black chickens are estimated to be extinct soon.
"Congratulations to the lord, we are also according to the lord's orders, in addition to feeding the colorful chickens, we will lure the colorful chickens out of the thatched house to bask in the sun during the day. Jason said with a look of hesitation.
Soon, Sean was led by Jason to the livestock farm, and Sean was also here for the first time, a large fence surrounded a meadow, and a row of thatched huts were built on the grass, and a foul smell emanated from the thatched huts.
Sean subconsciously pinched his nose, although now under Sean's decree, he has changed his habit of defecating in the open, but for the beasts of animal husbandry, Jason does not have this concept of hygiene, so it is even more impossible to clean up the manure in the thatched house regularly, which causes the livestock farm to stink.
"My lord, if you don't go and see it, we'll take good care of the colorful chicken. Jason looked at Sean pinching his nose and said worriedly.
The three of them spent all day in the livestock farm, and of course they were used to the smell, so they ignored it. Now, if they cause Sean's displeasure, they're in trouble.
Sean pinched his nose and waved his hand to continue. When he arrived at the thatched hut of the colorful black chicken, Sean's eyes followed where Jason pointed, and saw that there was an egg the size of a fist in the corner of the thatched hut, and the whole egg was like an enlarged egg.
Colorful Eggs: The eggs laid by the Colorful Chicken have a hard shell on the outside and air cells, egg whites and yolks inside. It is rich in cholesterol, rich in nutrients, the proportion of amino acids is easy for the body to absorb, and the nutritional value is high. Note: None.
The first time Sean saw the message with the annotation of none, he didn't know if it was because the multicolored eggs could no longer be optimized or what. However, through the identification information, it can be seen that the nutritional value of colorful eggs is not lower than that of colorful chicken.
Although Sean also wanted to try the taste of the colorful black eggs, he quickly dispelled the idea, and expanding the scale of the colorful black chicken is the king rather than the appetite for the moment.
Now that he came to the livestock farm, Sean still endured the stench around him and inspected the living environment of the black boar again. As Sean expected, the thatched hut of the Heigang wild boar was also indescribable, and a group of mature Heigang wild boars were lying directly on a pile of Oli, and fifteen black gang wild boar cubs were playing in it.
Sean shook his head, seeing the scene in front of him, he didn't know if he would have a psychological shadow on eating Heigang wild boar in the future.
After inspecting the thatched hut of the black boar, Sean did not stop and left the livestock farm. After returning to the castle, he had the desire to speak to Jason and said, "The manure from the livestock farm can be used, if you can't manage so many colorful chickens and black boars, you can recruit a few more servants." ”
"The livestock farm must be kept clean, and the thatched huts must be cleaned regularly with water to prevent the colorful black chicken and black boar from getting sick. As for the dung, you can collect it and sell it to Old Hunter, and the money from the sale will be yours. In short, make sure that the thatched house is clean. Sean said in an accentuated tone.
"Your Excellency, please rest assured, the three of us brothers will definitely clean the livestock farm in the future. Jason said as he knelt on the ground and shuddered.
"Well, as long as you do a good job on the livestock farm, the rewards will not be less. This time you did a good job, you went to Duru to claim the reward of five silver coins. "A stick and a radish is the way to go.
"Your Lord be merciful, may the stars bless you. ”
