Chapter Ninety-Eight: Eminem
Eminem is one of the staple foods in the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm, and the earliest cultivation records can be traced back to the end of the ancient era, when the Seven Ancient Clans were just divided into three camps.
As a crop with a growth cycle of one hundred and fifty days, which can grow quickly, and is not too picky about the quality of the land, Eminem is one of the common staple foods of the three major clans in the entire Thousand Soul Spirit Realm.
Eminem's words are the transliteration of the ancient language, and the literal translation is "the reality of life".
However, Tang Dou can say with certainty that Eminem is an otherworldly relative of wheat at all, not only is it nine points similar in appearance, but it is almost the same in terms of eating methods and various characteristics.
The biggest difference is in two points, one is that Eminem is very leather, unless it is extremely barren land, otherwise it belongs to the type that can be harvested after sowing (of course, the yield will naturally increase if it is tended well). The other is that the adult plant of Eminem is more than one meter tall, and its seed setting rate is much higher than that of wheat.
Therefore, as long as it is not a large-scale war era, there is rarely a food shortage in the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm.
The only exception is the Fog Hidden Continent.
This continent has been shrouded in chaotic energy for many years, and it does not have much effect on humans and beasts, but it has a great impact on plants. The Fog Hidden Continent is the continent with the highest concentration of demonic plants, and it is also the continent with the lowest grain production.
In addition, the Fog Hidden Continent has been in a state of fighting for territory for many years, and even the planting area is quite unstable, so the Fog Hidden Continent's own output is only enough for less than thirty percent of the people to eat, and the remaining seventy percent depends on commerce.
Under normal circumstances, the Fog Hidden Continent relies on special products such as energy crystals, special minerals, monster beasts, demonized plants, and other specialties to trade grain with the other three continents.
But the one-year blockade of Storm Martha meant that a continent would not be replenished for a year. In the first few months, it doesn't seem like much trouble, but in three months at most, a food crisis will sweep across the continent, and by then famine and war will cause the continent to be filled with dead people.
According to records, the last time Martha's storm appeared one hundred and thirty years ago, more than 300,000 people died in the Fog Hidden Continent, two-thirds of them died of famine and one-third of them died in war.
It was a combination of natural and man-made disasters, and it took the entire continent almost fifty years to recover. And now, with the new Martha storm reappearing, how many people will die this time?
Perhaps the disaster of one hundred and thirty years ago was too serious, so this time when the Martha storm appeared, the major forces of Kinunu City had already begun to prepare. But it is not enough for them to prepare, and more of the population of this continent are those "outsiders".
Unlike the prepared city people, the people outside the city were originally a group of people who lived one day at a time, and they could not have the ability to prepare a whole year's worth of food.
On the sixth day of Martha's storm, the atmosphere in Kinunu City had begun to become delicate, and the battle in the workshop outside the city, which had been on the cusp of the storm recently, had become the core of the gossip of the entire city.
And just when all the people in the city were in a state of thought, the workshops outside the city, the slaves, ...... No, they're civilians now. After Tang Dou Manda announced his decision, all the slaves cried, and a few fainted directly and are still being rescued.
These people who had just been restored to the common people, those who had since called themselves workshop people, were now all at work, and they did not care about the rights and wrongs of the outside, they only cared about one thing, and that was to accomplish the task of the great and generous Lord Nicholas.
And at this time, their great and generous Lord Nicholas was dragging a bamboo flatbed cart out of the bamboo slowly. There were at least 100 pounds of Eminem piled up on the flatbed truck - Eminem who had never been beaten.
"What are you doing?" After Lin Xiao woke up in the morning, she had been reminiscing about last night's battle, and there were a lot of messy thoughts rolling in her mind, and even the cultivation that had never been interrupted had to stop. Distraught, she wandered around the workshop to see where she could help.
But the commoners of the workshop (from then on, they are the commoners of the workshop) all know this blonde half-elf girl, and know that he is the apprentice of the great Lord Nicholas - although whether it is Tang Dou or Lin Xiao, they have never publicized it, let alone acknowledged this relationship. But all the civilians in the workshop saw Tang Dou personally instructing Lin Xiao to cultivate, and this master-apprentice relationship couldn't run away.
Because they were Tang Dou's apprentices, no workshop civilians would let Lin Xiao help, and they all thought that letting the apprentices of the great Lord Nicholas work was a shame for their followers and a manifestation of their incompetence, so Lin Xiao couldn't find a place to help wherever he went.
was wandering around depressedly, Lin Xiao saw Tang Dou pulling a cart of Eminem back.
Lin Xiao, who has been in charge of the Mufeng Inn for ten years, is naturally very familiar with Eminem, and once she also thought about planting some Eminem in the small open space behind the inn to subsidize the family, but there are really not many places suitable for planting in this continent, anyway, the open space behind the Mufeng Inn is not suitable, although there is a bit of a harvest, but the yield is not enough for the little girl to eat alone.
But no matter what, she was still very familiar with Amlin Xiao, and she could see at a glance that the cart of Eminem that Tang Dou was dragging had just matured and been cut, which made Lin Xiao quite strange.
Not only is it strange how Tang Dou could drag a cart of Eminem, but also strange where this guy went to drag a cart of Eminem who has just matured and harvested.
"What are you doing?" Lin Xiao looked at Tang Dou curiously.
Tang Dou was happy when he saw Lin Xiao: "Girl, I was saying that I was going to look for you." Will you handle this thing? I'll just point out theories, and I'm afraid I won't be able to figure it out even if it's dark! ”
"Yes!" Lin Xiao responded casually, and followed there. In her memory, Tang Dou had never spoken to herself in such a tone, she used to be the stinky fart from above, and she always took out a hateful look of wanting to sell her and sell her younger brothers and sisters casually.
But this time......
The memories of last night came to my heart again, and after the bloody battle, Tang Dou's gentle smile and praise all came to mind, and an indescribable emotion echoed in his chest.
"Hey, girl, what are you doing? Hit stupid yesterday? Tang Dou's attitude towards Lin Xiao completely changed, and he stepped forward very kindly and casually and waved his hand in front of Lin Xiao's eyes.
Lin Xiao came back to her senses, and somehow, she suddenly felt a sense of relief all over her body: "You're stupid." Of course I'm going to get these Eminem, where did you get that? ”
"I'm doing experiments, you can help me get it, and then use these to make some food, if it's okay, we won't have to worry about food!" Tang Dou smiled.
"Really?" Lin Xiao's eyes lit up, and he took the trailer in Tang Dou's hand: "Leave it to me!" ”
After speaking, he pulled the car and ran to the cafeteria - that was the place planned by Tang Dou, and all the people in the entire workshop ate there.
Tang Dou looked at Lin Xiao's back, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a meaningful smile.
Lin Xiao is worthy of being a little expert in housework, from Eminem's husking, grinding noodles, and the finished product in one go, a total of three hours before and after, a few pieces of Amno were baked - in fact, it was bread.
"The freshly harvested Amu horse grinding noodles are not very suitable, it is best to expose to the sun for a week, and then put it for a month, so that the appearance rate is the best, but you said that this is an experiment, then it is okay, but the taste may also be a little biased, mainly in terms of taste!"
As soon as Lin Xiao, a housework expert, talked about cooking, she could talk endlessly about the day, and at this time she fell into an inexplicable excitement, pulling Tang Dou Balabala to talk non-stop.
"Can you really eat this?" When the Amno on the plate was a little cold, Lin Xiao took a piece in his hand, and then he remembered a key question.
God knows where this guy got the newly matured Eminem in front of him?
"So we'll have to try!" Tang Dou had asked someone to catch an iron-toothed rat before, which was caught by Ah Bao before, most of it had become rations, and a small part was fed, and Tang Dou planned to raise it as a livestock. Another thing that thinks that the iron-toothed rat with a rat is such a disgusting guy, this kind of guy between a demon beast and a beast each has a body size of more than ten catties, smooth fur, and looks a little like a guinea pig in Tang Dou's previous life, and in his heart, he is still a little cute and cute.
And because of the delicate quality of the meat, it is a pretty good meat.
Lin Xiao is also a ghost elf girl, and when she saw Tang Dou pointing at the poor iron-toothed rat, she immediately understood, and threw Amuno into the cage of the iron-toothed rat with a single sound.
The iron-toothed rat is omnivorous, and has a big heart, even if it is artificially raised and fattened to eat meat, it is also at ease and does not refuse, and when he saw a piece of Amno stuffed into the cage, he immediately pounced on it, and ate it in a few bites.
Tang Dou and Lin Xiao waited for half an hour, and when they saw that the iron-toothed rat was still alive, they glanced at each other.
"It should be edible!"
"Looks like you can't die!"
Then the two said in unison: "Try it, you can't die anyway!" ”
So the two of them held an inexplicable tragic mood, and one of them broke a piece.
Two seconds later.
"Phew! It's unpalatable! ”
"What kind of taste is this, this? Why is it like a soaked Amno? Even if it's a freshly typed Eminem, it's impossible to do this. I've tried it before! ”
Tang Dou was lying on the table and rolled his eyes like food poisoning, but Lin Xiao looked like he was devastated, it seemed that this half-elf girl thought that her skills had returned.
"It should be this Eminem's problem, it seems that it can be eaten, but the taste is really not flattering!" Tang Dou smiled bitterly: "There will be gains and losses." There is a price to be paid for exploiting nature's loopholes. I thought it was money! ”
"Where the hell did you get such a bad Eminem?" Lin Xiao was even more curious.
Tang Dou smiled: "Girl, let me ask you." You also know what the problem of Martha's storm will bring, at most three months, the whole continent will fall into famine, even if it is Kinunu City, except for those elves, even the demon clan dare not say that they are not short of food. Not to mention us humans! ”
"You said that when everyone is hungry, will anyone eat this kind of Eminem?"
"Of course!" Lin Xiao nodded without hesitation: "When you don't eat it, who cares about the taste." This strange Eminem tastes very bad, but the taste is actually fine, how can no one eat it? I've heard Manda say that when they were in Poland Street, they used to eat bark and grass roots, and some even went to eat mud, and they were dyed alive. At that time, there was such an Eminem to eat, and they would nod their heads if they exchanged anything for it! ”
Lin Xiao and Tang Dou have been in contact for a long time, and she has gradually begun to figure out some of Tang Dou's rules of action, speaking of this, she suddenly has a little aftertaste: "Wait, you mean to say, can you get these strange Eminem?" ”
"Yes, I can grow this Eminem, and it is on a large scale, quickly!" Tang Dou nodded with a smile.
Lin Xiao was overjoyed, but immediately shook his head again: "No matter how fast it is, it will take a hundred days." I've heard people say that Eminem is already planted three times a year in Jiuxiao, but even then, it will take at least 100 days. How much land can you plant? If there aren't enough of them, then we must keep them secret, or it will bring disaster to the workshop! ”
Tang Dou nodded with satisfaction: "Hey, girl, you can think of this, it seems that you are a lot more mature." But don't worry, you may not have figured out what I just said. I'm talking about a lot of land that we can get and how much Eminem we can plant. I'm talking fast not in a hundred days, but in five days! ”
Lin Xiao was stupid on the spot, and it took a long time to react: "What are you talking about?" ”
Tang Dou laughed: "I have researched a rune array that can quickly catalyze Eminem, not only can Eminem grow completely without picking a place, regardless of the season, but also can catalyze to the point where a batch can mature in five days!" ”
"Really?" Lin Xiao covered his mouth so that he would not scream in surprise.
"Of course, is it useful for me to lie to you about this? That's what I planted five days ago. Tang Dou was very satisfied with Lin Xiao's reaction now, he felt that this was the same as his first-person bragging, the other party believed it ten percent, and looked at him with a high mountain gaze.
"What rune array, so powerful? Could it be the legendary array of gods? "Lin Xiao himself has also studied the rune array, and he has a lot of talent. I have also heard of the legendary god array in the rune array.
The so-called god array is a rune array that can accomplish the same effect as a miracle, which only exists in theory, no one has ever seen it, countless masters have spent their lives studying it, and the final result is still just a theory.
"If only it were the Array of Gods. This rune array sounds magical, but it's not, but it's the most suitable place to use it at this time. It's too costly, and it's definitely not suitable anywhere else! Tang Dou sighed regretfully.
"At what cost? Is it this unpalatable taste? Lin Xiao remembered Tang Dou's words just now.
"In addition to this, there are also energy crystals. The principle of this rune array is to simulate the elven healing rune array, convert the energy in the energy crystal into life energy, and then give birth to crops, and in order to give birth to the growth cycle of at least one hundred days to five days, the energy consumed is extremely amazing, I planted three points of land, five days, and consumed five hundred Kas's energy! ”
Lin Xiao didn't stand firmly, and almost slipped off the table to the ground: "How much?" Five hundred cass? Fifty pieces of lecrite? I calculate, even if it is the production capacity of the Wuyin Continent, a piece of white spar will need thirty silver coins, and the output should be about five hundred catties. That is to say......"
After quickly thinking about it in her heart, she said the answer: "That is to say, the cost of a pound is three silver coins, my God, this cost is too high, right?" (To be continued.) )
