Chapter 160: Another Money-Making Weapon
This transaction is completely different from the last transaction, because of the last transaction, the people of the Huaxia Alliance did not get anything substantial, they just knew that they were in contact with the royal family, and they felt a little excited!
And this time, Li Qi brought them a lot of supplies.
This greatly boosted morale and made the Huaxia Alliance embark on the road of rapid development, and this path was formulated by Li Qi himself for the Huaxia Alliance.
Of course, Li Qi must take advantage of this wave of high morale to complete the first step in building the Huaxia Alliance.
Inside the kitchen!
"Don't put it down like this, go up a little bit more, it will light up more places. When you do things, you also have to use your brains more, I can't keep an eye on you every day. ”
Litchie stood in the kitchen and commanded.
I saw a few young people sweating profusely, carefully fixing the round and shiny stones in a wooden basin, and then hanging them on the roof.
The big chief personally supervised, they were still under a lot of pressure, which was of course a good thing, even if Li Qi was furious before, they would not feel any pressure.
"Great Chief, these stones are really enough for us to see at night."
An elementary school apprentice asked Li Qi excitedly.
Li Qi smiled: "No, you have to speak with facts, and when it comes to night, we know!" ”
In fact, it is fluorite that is hung up, and in dark places, this fluorite will glow, but in the kingdom fluorite is generally used on some special occasions, and the royal family still prefers firelight, because the firelight makes them feel more natural, just like their house, there is always a turn to get started.
But Li Qi doesn't like to put a torch on the side every day, he cherishes his hair and skin very much, so he purchased some fluorite, but not a lot, because this fluorite is not cheap, first of all, this fluorite needs to be polished, after polishing, the fluorite will shine, and at the same time it will slowly weather, the light will become weaker and weaker, not that it can be used all the time.
Since there are not many of them, of course they have to be used on the blade, so the first place to hang fluorite is the kitchen.
Now the kitchen is the heart of the Huaxia Alliance, it is the kitchen that promotes the development of everything, and the busiest is also the kitchen, followed by the elders' house, the former elders' house is under the big tree in front of the cave, because the light in the hole is too dark, it is not convenient to work, and now there is fluorite, then Li Qi will vacate a small hole for the elders to work at night, now there are a lot of things, sometimes they have to work at night, they still have to work outside during the day, and they don't like to stay in the cave during the day.
The darkness here comes very quickly, so the kitchen lights up almost instantaneously.
There was a burst of cheers.
"It's lit! It's lit up! It's really lit up! ”
Lao Tong's excited mouth trembled.
"Wow! It's so beautiful! ”
With his little head tilted, a pair of big eyes appeared brighter under the illumination of fluorite, like two black gems. He turned around slightly, habitually held Li Qi's thigh with one hand, tilted his head and asked, "Li Qi, are these really all from wine trading?" ”
Li Qi touched his little head and nodded with a smile.
All of this has also changed the way people think.
In the past, no matter how hard they tried, the income was very limited, they didn't even think that the effort had anything to do with the harvest, if they didn't find the prey, no matter how hard you tried, there was no harvest, and they wouldn't have planted it in the first place.
Now that they are looking at so many treasures, they gradually understand this truth, as long as they work hard, they can get a lot, so under the stimulation of materials, the entire Huaxia Alliance is rushing upward, and everyone is full of energy.
......
"Qiaoma! Do you think it looks good? ”
Han stood in front of the large mirror under a small shed, fiddling with his pigtails, and asked Qiaoma next to him.
Qiaoma said extremely perfunctorily: "Beautiful, good-looking, we have to hurry up and get to work, now we have a lot to do." ”
As she spoke, she pulled Han towards the textile area. Of course, she also likes to buy, but she was brought out by Li Qi and has a strong sense of responsibility.
With his eyes twitching, he said, "But the big chief said that the appearance is also very important." ”
"Yes, yes, let's go." Qiaoma couldn't laugh or cry.
Li Qi specially bought a large mirror, which was hung in front of the living quarters, and asked them to look in the mirror every day, tidy up their hair and clothes, although they must still be dirty after their work, but Li Qi hopes to cultivate their sense of beauty.
This point is very important, in the future, the Huaxia Alliance will often communicate with other races, it is originally a third-class race, it is not kempt, and it is dirty and smelly, so it can't be blamed on other races for discriminating against human beings, and Longlongke has not come back yet, Li Qi's expansion plan is still continuing, Li Qi also hopes that those tribes who come to defect, as soon as they see the people of the Huaxia Alliance, they immediately feel that they are high-end and high-grade, and they are happy to join the Huaxia Alliance, not just because of fear.
The textile department of Qiaoma tube has also become one of the busiest departments today, they not only have to sew the flag of the Huaxia Alliance, but also everyone's clothes, and their efficiency has also been greatly improved, because the beast has designed a hand-cranked sewing machine according to Li Qi's design drawing, which is very good at it, because the parts of the sewing machine are very small.
There is another department that is just as busy as the textile department, this department is the planning department that has just been established, and Li Qi is just planning to ask the raccoon beasts to build a factory, but the houses they live in, Li Qi still plans to build them himself, not only because of money, but also because Li Qi does not want other races to enter the area inhabited by humans for the time being.
In the beginning, he just told them how to build a very simple thatched hut, because there were no tools and manpower, and the thatched hut was only moved out of the hole.
And now Li Qi has bought a lot of tools, including planers, saws, and other construction tools, and the population has increased tenfold, and more importantly, the construction of large construction can also promote the integration of various tribes, that is, the population is mobile, instead of being stationed in one place every day, if there is no communication with each other, it is not conducive to unity, everyone works together, and soon they will become familiar.
As for the structure of the house, Li Qi still chooses the wood structure he is more familiar with, that is, the mortise and tenon structure, which is the knowledge he learned in the Northern Song Dynasty, as for what reinforced concrete, he has detailed information, and he will definitely get it, he really thinks that the steam engine has come out, and after the industrialization is perfected, it is more efficient to build a solid house.
And Li Qi himself is mainly in charge of the kitchen!
"Do you know what this is?"
Li Qi handed a small bottle to Cold Shadow.
Han Ying didn't reach out to pick it up, his tall nose twitched slightly, and he said, "It's Gan Ji (zhā)!" ”
is worthy of a demon, this nose is really a spirit. Li Qi retracted his hand and asked, "Have you tasted it?" ”
Hanying said simply and bluntly: "It's very bitter, I don't like it." ”
"Not necessarily!" Richie smiled slightly.
Hanying gave two puzzled glances.
Li Qi poured the sweet powder on top of a palm-sized piece of silk, then tied it with rattan rope and put it into a jade cup, and then poured hot water.
Han Ying said: "It is said that only the Great Wilderness Clan likes to drink like this, but my Demon Clan doesn't like it. ”
"Not necessarily, maybe you'll like it soon." Li Qi said confidently.
"I'm not going to like it."
Hanying really doesn't have the habit of giving Li Qi face.
Li Qiwu laughed to himself: "Then let's wait and see!" ”
Han Ying thinks that this person is sick in the brain, I like it or not, how can you have the final say, to be a bodyguard for this kind of person, it is really blind to the leopard's eyes.
After a while, Li Qi took out the silk bag, and then handed the jade cup to Han Ying.
This jade cup with coffee is really awkward.
Hanying really didn't believe in this evil, so he took the cup.
Li Qi said: "Drink slowly, be careful of burning!" ”
Han Ying glanced at Li Qi lightly, then took a sip, shook his head and said, "The taste is indeed a little different, but I still don't like it." ”
"I'll draw conclusions later!"
Li Qi took out a milky white, square-shaped crystal from a jar and threw it into the cup, stirred it gently, and then said, "You can taste it again." ”
Hanying took a sip, suddenly frowned, a flash of surprise flashed in her colored pupils, and she took another sip.
Li Qi laughed, "You won't lie. ”
Han Ying's cold face showed a hint of redness, and it looked even more sexy and charming, and said, "This... I still like the taste. As she spoke, she was curious: "Why is there a milky smell in it after you add sugar?" ”
"Because it's my special toffee, of course it tastes milky, but I don't like sugar." Li Qi smiled slightly, this toffee is made of deer milk, oh, it is the milk of the deer beast, not the blockbuster Sanlu milk.
He made himself another cup, took a sip, and savored it, the moment he just entered it, it felt like black coffee, the taste was very mellow, but it was more delicate than black coffee, as if it was blended with chocolate, but there was only a hint of chocolate, and the two flavors blended just right, which is why with the addition of toffee, the taste will immediately become very mellow, and even Hanying likes it very much, because the toffee can be perfectly matched with the taste of coffee and chocolate. I secretly praise in my heart, this sweet is really a superb ingredient, and it can be made into chocolate after drying, but if it is baked, the taste of coffee will become very strong.
His previous plan was to focus on food, because food can be sold all over the continent, and there will be no direct conflict with the royal family, because the food produced by Li Qi is not available in the kingdom, and the kingdom has only some raw materials, which can make a lot of money, as for the dishes, they can only be placed in the guild hall, and if they want to open one guild hall after another, the speed is too slow, and it will also have a direct conflict with the royal family, which is not very in line with Li Qi's interests, so Li Qi is willing to cooperate with the trade hall.
Hankage couldn't help but take another sip.
Li Qi said: "Do you feel more and more like?" ”
Han Ying looked at Li Qi's appearance, and felt a little unhappy in her heart, but she really didn't have the habit of lying, and hummed reluctantly.
......
Under the big tree, the elder leader led the elders to revise the roster, although they were all gray-haired, but not only did they not feel the slightest tiredness, but they felt very excited, holding a brush on the paper and writing quickly, they couldn't stop at all, every time they finished writing, they had to smell the fragrance of paper and ink, and the whole group of addicts gathered.
"Elders have worked hard, take a rest!"
Richie came over with a jug.
"Great Chief!"
The elder quickly got up, and the rest of the elders did the same and stood up. As soon as Taba left, Lao Tong immediately took the throne, so the other elders all groped for the tricks inside, and gradually discovered why Lao Tong was trusted by the Great Chief.
"Sit, sit, sit!"
Li Qi has a strong pressure hand like a leader, and then laughs again: "Try the coffee I just invented." ”
He still tries to name the food in human language, and other races take transliteration, so that when all races hear it, they know that human beings invented it, and it is also a kind of propaganda.
The two apprentices behind him immediately stepped forward with cups.
Li Qi poured them a glass by himself.
When the elders saw that the coffee was black, they immediately had a bad feeling, they still liked the brightly colored juice.
Li Qi said: "Taste it! ”
Lao Tong glanced at Li Qi, there was no way, he couldn't disobey the order of the big chief, he piled up a smile and picked up a glass.
When the other elders saw this, they also hurriedly picked up a cup.
Li Qi himself held a cup and said, "This coffee needs to be tasted slowly to be able to taste the aroma in it." ”
He demonstrated it himself.
They learned to taste it.
"It's bitter!"
As soon as this coffee was in his mouth, Na Kun suddenly frowned.
Lao Tong said thoughtfully: "But this bitter taste is so special, and it has a special fragrance." As he spoke, he tasted it again, and the more he tasted it, the more he liked it.
Another elder named Hugh said, "You like to drink so bitterly?" ”
Another elder said, "But the bitter taste is not the same as that medicine, and I also think it tastes good." ”
Li Qi smiled: "If you feel bitter, you can add a piece of sugar." ”
Kun they immediately added sugar, this sugar is their favorite, and the sweetened coffee suddenly made their eyes light up.
"This coffee is sweetened and it tastes good right away."
"Really? Then I'll add one and see. ”
Lao Tong also added one, and said in surprise: "Yes! It seems to be a different taste. ”
Li Qi said: "This coffee is not only delicious, but also refreshing, and you will be able to appreciate the mystery later!" But don't drink too much, if you drink too much, it's not good for your health. Oh, and I don't have much for you to drink for the time being. ”
The elders nodded their heads.
Li Qi took a cup of coffee, walked to the small round table next to him and sat down, although it was open-air, but the warm sunshine here made people feel very comfortable, especially with a cup of fragrant coffee in his hand, he took a sip of it, and a treacherous smile appeared on his face, the Great Wilderness? Hehe, I don't know what treasures the Great Wilderness Clan has, this is really worth looking forward to!
"Great Chief, what are you drinking, it smells so good!"
Man suddenly stuck his head out from behind and looked at the cup, his eyes shining.
Li Qi then picked up the lid of the pot, poured a little into it, and handed it to the brute, "You taste it." ”
Man picked up the lid of the pot, drank it all in one gulp, and suddenly stuck out his tongue, "It's so bitter!" It's bitter! It doesn't taste good at all, is this medicine? ”
Li Qi smiled and didn't answer, he didn't tell the mystery of adding sugar, after all, this thing is not suitable for children, he just said: "You don't go to work, what are you doing here?" ”
As if he suddenly remembered something, he said, "Oh, I'm here to tell you that Chi and Mo have come back from Baishan!" ”
"Really?"
Li Qi immediately stood up, "Let's go, let's go and see." ”
After saying that, he remembered something again, picked up the cup of coffee, and drank it all in one gulp.
He looked at Li Qi and said curiously: "Great Chief, it's so bitter, you also like to drink?" ”
Li Qi said with a smile: "Only when you suffer from hardship can you become a master." ”
Blinking his big eyes, he suddenly jumped in front of Li Qi excitedly, "That's why the Great Chief rewarded me with this set of clothes, right?" He wriggled his little ass as he spoke.
"Clever!" Li Qi laughed and touched his little head.
When the two of them came to the lake, they saw a small boat docked on the small pier.
Three or five strong men came down from the boat carrying a basket of stones of various colors.
"It's so hard for you!"
Li Qi stepped forward and smiled.
The Baishan tribe is not close to here, and at present, the Huaxia Alliance does not have a car, and they all rely on people to carry it on their backs.
Temporarily replacing Xiaobai, Mo in charge of transportation was very curious: "Great Chief, what is the use of these stones?" ”
Li Qi said: "There are too many uses! ”
PS: Don't drink coffee at night.
