Chapter 17: Building a Village

The distribution of weapons is given priority to Tianwu and Ma Wu Liu Xi.

The hand crossbow naturally fell into the hands of Tianwu, plus 5 crossbow arrows, but the ammunition was a little less, so try to save some use.

Each of the three was armed with a dagger, and the remaining three were put away.

Tianwu and Ma Wu were given a saber, and the last saber was finally given to Ding Congshan, which gave them a sense of security.

The rope is a very important tool, and it is handed over to Ma Wu Liu Xi, and all the rest of the food is put away by him.

"I'm not there after lunch tonight, so don't be idle this morning."

Now that the village has just been built, the shack is to be rebuilt in its entirety, followed by the construction of more professional stoves, the search and transportation of washing stones and drying stones, the construction of horsebacks/fences, and the hunting of more food and planting of crop seeds.

For the two crop seeds, Tianwu chose sweet potatoes and peanuts, and vegetables chose peppers, cucumbers and cabbage.

Why not choose traditional crops?

Because there is very little land in the village, the yield of traditional crops per mu is low, and with the increasing population, there is no enough to eat, and the yield of sweet potatoes per mu is large, and sweet potatoes can be made into a variety of delicacies, such as Tianwu's favorite sweet potato flour.

Why grow peanuts, because peanuts are used to refine oil! Don't you ever eat stir-fry? Tian Wu will go crazy.

There is also a reason to choose bean sprouts, cucumbers and cabbage, first of all, cucumbers and cabbage can be eaten raw and cold, and they are very delicious.

Secondly, the ripening cycle is short, the importance of chili peppers is not known to others, but for Tianwu, it is even comparable to salt, cabbage can be made into pickles, dried cabbage is easy to store, cucumbers can be used as both vegetables and fruits, stir-fried vegetables and cold soup... It's even a woman's wonder.

Don't get me wrong, Tianwu means that it is used as a mask, so that the skin of female villagers can be beautified, which can greatly improve the happiness of the villagers.

"In the morning we will build shacks and other chores, and in the afternoon we will build movable horses to temporarily enclose this small area."

"Ma Wu Liu Xi went hunting in the morning, and supervised and guided everyone to build and reject horses in the afternoon, so don't be in a hurry to farm first."

Click on the basic resource store, and Tianwu began to make a big purchase.

Now that you have money, you can retire with wooden bowls and chopsticks, basic bowls and chopsticks, buckets, and a large number of water tanks.

There are many raw water parasites, and now that there are conditions, Tianwu doesn't want everyone to drink raw water when they are thirsty, and the water tank stores cold boiled water, and it is also used for emergency use, so there is no need to run to the river for anything.

Three saws, sawing wood, and adding some linen and straw to fill the shack, Tianwu stopped.

These items cost a full 1,600 copper coins, and only a little more than 400 copper coins remained.

"The rest of the money is used to buy salt, which is the most essential thing to survive in the wild, and there is not enough of it in the village right now."

Tian Wu pondered and saw that there was nothing wrong with Ma Wu Liu Xi, so he planned to go into the forest to hunt.

"Brother Tian!"

Zhou Shuixian hurriedly ran over with her skirt, and before Tianwu gave her some fabrics and asked her to find a few maids to make a new dress, this girl finally had a good face for herself.

Zhou Shuixian whispered: "I want to find them to get the thatched house out." ”

Tianwu patted his head: "The thatched house is very important, you are fully responsible for this matter, I will go back and buy some bricks and thatch." Damn, there is no place to live, but the place to solve the major events in life must be built well! ”

Zhou Shuixian walked away, and Ma Wu and Liu Xi were puzzled.

"Angkor, you actually use precious bricks and thatching for thatched houses, why are you mistaken?"

"You know the!"

Tianwu gritted his teeth and said: "We don't live well, and it will be over if we grit our teeth, but if the environment of your pit is too bad, can it affect your mood for the day, do you know?" ”

"Also, if the thatched house is not built well, the smell will be overwhelming, and you will feel very happy eating and drinking in the smell of feces and urine?"

Liu Xi scratched his head fiercely: "It's nothing, when we are in the army again, sometimes after the battle, we eat and drink while watching maggots crawl on the corpse... Uh, what the is really not a human life to think about now. ”

Ma Wu gave a thumbs up: "I believe in Angkor, Angkor can make the two brothers live a comfortable life." ”

"If only you knew."

Tianwu nodded: "Let's go, let's go and see that bamboo forest before hunting, this bamboo forest can be called a treasure trove!" ”

Bamboo, tough and elastic and hollow straight, growing rapidly, after two rains, the new bamboo became a strong bamboo, and the vitality was incomparably strong.

In life, bamboo can be used as a container to hold water, put items, hold rice, and make water pipes! Make a mat, a chair, and build a house!

Militarily, it can be used to make fences, bamboo guns, bamboo bows, and bamboo arrows!

Strategically... It can be used as a bamboo raft, and the laborers and managers can finally cross the river!

After listening to Tianwu's analysis, Ma Wu and Liu Xi were also excited, rubbing their hands and spinning around excitedly in the bamboo forest.

"On the other side of the river, there are wild sheep, cows, red deer, and so on." Liu Xi wants to eat.

Ma Wu said with a smile: "The bamboo with the right material can be made into a good bamboo gun after refining, which is light in weight and powerful, and if Angkor wants to practice guns in the future, bamboo guns are the most suitable." ”

Tianwu nodded, make a batch of bamboo guns and bamboo bows, plus rafts, there are conditions to go down the river downstream, go to Zhoujiapo to fool Zhou Shuixian's family, I am afraid that there are many big families in the original Zhoujia Town, this is a huge treasure.

Hunting is exploratory in nature, this forest is too big, Tian Wu is eager to find out the specific size of the bamboo forest, Ma Wu and Liu Xi have used ropes and traps to hunt two rabbits and a pheasant that can't run fast because it is too fat.

"It's a little too slow."

Tianwu shook his head: "Let's make a few bamboo bows, there are no good materials to make bowstrings now, let's replace them with fine hemp rope." ”

It's impossible for the Basic Resource Shop to sell weapons and most of the weapon-related stuff, but thin twine can be used as a bowstring.

"Okay, let's sum it up."

Ma Wu and Liu Xi had some experience, and then everyone cut two bamboos and returned to the camp.

At this time when I went out, the stove had been set up, and the skeleton of the shack had been neatly built.

The three members of the Ding family and Chen Liuliu took turns sawing trees and cutting branches and leaves, and then dragged them to the open space, Zhou Shuixian had already arranged the affairs of the thatched house, and it was surprising that Ding Congshan's three middle-aged men quite recognized Tianwu's theory, and they were very attentive to slowly digging the foundation with a small shovel over there.

The rest of the people also have their own jobs, even Old Man Ding is sitting by the river and helping to clean all kinds of water holding tools with the river water over and over again.

"Masonry, 2 copper coins a piece, is much bigger than the current bricks, but it still feels very expensive."

Tianwu bought 100 copper coins of salt, but it was only three taels, and the remaining 300 copper coins bought a shovel for them to shovel the soil, and the rest were all bought into bricks and stones, only a small piece of land was piled up, and when the time came, it could only cover the thatched house on one side of the crowd, and the bricks and stones on the other sides could not be bought.

Let's see if we can extort money tomorrow.

The bow and arrow were not so easy to make, and they could not be made until lunch, so Ma Wu and Liu Xi ran to tie several buckets of fish and came back, and the big pot of stewed soup sprinkled with salt and grilled fish.

Add two hares and a fat pheasant, Tianwu took out the bamboo shoots and cooked them cold, and then one person divided two berries that were sour but particularly refreshing and drenched, meat and vegetarian matching, and the lunch was also eaten vigorously, lively, and everyone was very satisfied.

"I have to leave, you have to do your own things in the afternoon."

Tian Wu called Ma Wu, Liu Xi, and Zhou Shuixian over.

"If you make your bow, try to hunt things, and if you can't eat it at night, I will leave salt for you to pickle and dry."

"Since we do the thatched house, we have to do the best, the pit can be dug as deep as it is, the big deal is to use a bucket to lift the soil inside, now the thatched pit is not dug deep, and there will be regrets in the future.

"If I don't come back in the evening, I'll make my own dinner."

Tian Wu carefully allocated some spices, and took out all the mushrooms, fungus, wild vegetables and pickles in the inventory.

"No matter how you eat at night, these are what I left for you, and there is no more."

After explaining what he could think of, Tianwu looked at the sky, took off his helmet and went offline.

Time, 7:41 p.m.
