Chapter 12 The Food Problem in Fish-Man Village

Yang Yi rushed back to Ratchet Village with eleven fish-men dressed in stars and moons, and found that the second fish-man hut had also been built, and the three fish-men who collected seaweed had also returned.

Seeing Yang Yi come back with more than a dozen fishmen, the old blind eye and the fishmen were excited. Only then did Yang Yi know that Brak and Slark were the two right-hand men of the old blind when they were in Long Beach in the Western Wilderness, and it was indeed rare for these fishmen to cross the ocean and reunite on another continent, so they had mixed feelings after getting together.

When they ate fish together during the day, there were eight fishmen in Ratchet Village in addition to Yang Yi, and this afternoon, the deputy village chief of Lao Blind Eye received two ordinary fishmen for Ratchet Village, plus the eleven fishmen brought back by Yang Yi, and now there are a total of twenty-one fishmen in the village. The two Fish-Man Huts can accommodate ten Fish-Men, and with the Fish-Man Town Center, it is barely possible to arrange these twenty-one Fish-Men.

Except for a small number of special fish-people who haunt at night, the habits of the fish-people are similar to those of the ancient farmers who lived at sunrise, and the sun in the sky determines the schedule of their activities. It was dark, the fish people all lay down to rest, and the old blind eye walked over to Yang Yi with a fish-man laborer.

"Lord, please look at this." The old blind eye handed Yang Yi a small algae, which was a green algae with roots and leaves, and it looked like someone had carefully dug up the whole algae.

"What is this?" Yang Yi looked at the algae information suspiciously.

【Thorn Algae】

【Grade 1 Herbs】

[Requirements: Level 1 Herb Collecting Skill]

[Remarks: Minor damage]

"It turned out to be thorny algae, did you pick it?" Yang Yi turned his gaze to the fish-man laborer beside the old blind eye, this fish-man laborer was a junior medicine picker, and he was arranged to go with the fish-man hunter to collect edible seaweed during the day.

"Yes, my lord." The fish-man laborer replied that most of the fish-people spoke very briefly. Because they didn't have the right tools, the fish-people were working hard to collect the thorn algae, which caused some damage to the herbs.

"Is there a lot of this thorn algae in the sea?" Yang Yi asked. Thorn algae is a type of algae that can grow in both freshwater and seawater, and it is not easy to collect because it grows in water, and it is also an herb often used by alchemists, so it is quite economical.

"I don't know." The fish-man laborer replied that he had been arranged to collect seaweed during the day, but he happened to find this thorn algae in the seaweed, and because of the obedience to the arrangement, he did not give up collecting edible seaweed and went in search of herbs.

"Well, tomorrow you go down to the sea, but instead of collecting edible seaweed, you will specifically look for and collect this thorn algae." Yang Yi commanded.

"Yes."

The fish-man laborer said that he and the old blind man went back to sleep together.

At the end of the day, Yang Yi was very busy, but he experienced a sense of fulfillment that he hadn't felt for a long time, and after a day of hard work, Yang Yi checked the information in the town center again.

【Fish-Man Town Center】

【Small Fishman Village】

[Civilization Level 1, Military Level 1]

[Civilization Stats: 3/100, Military Stats: 31/100]

……

Yang Yi found that the civilization value only increased by 2 points in one day, but the military value increased by 16 points. Looking back, today Ratchet Village built two fish-man huts and accepted a lot of talents, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult to improve the value of this civilization; On the military side, it is probably due to the acceptance of a Tier 1 Fish-Man Beach Walker Brak, a Tier 1 Fish-Man Tide Catcher Slark, two Fish-Man Hunters, and a large number of strong Fishmen.

After reading the information, Yang Yi saw that the fishmen had already rested, so he also climbed onto the platform in the center of the town and lay down to sleep in a vacant space specially set aside for him.

The fish-man lord fell asleep, and Yang Yi disconnected the link and returned to his real body for the first time in two days. After withdrawing, Yang Yi Dixing's body was already hungry, and he could also feel the hunger signals from his body when he connected to the world of Azeroth, but he had long been accustomed to the feeling of being hungry in the past two years, so he didn't care, not to mention that he only had one synthetic food pill now, "Elixir", and he would be hungry if he ate it too early.

Yang Yi got up and found the "elixir" from the dark grid and swallowed it in one gulp, because he had received the "elixir" for three days two days ago, so he had to wait a day to receive it.

Yang Yi felt food and clothing under the stomach of the "elixir", and it was still dim in reality, Yang Yi moved his body and lay down on the soil bed. Yang Yi linked to the forum, and he wanted to find out if there was a solution to the food dilemma in the fish-man village before going to bed, especially about seaweed, and at the same time learn more about the fish-people and things related to the fish-people by the way.

There are countless messages on the forums at any time, the most of which are about high-grade ores.

The world of Azeroth is a real existence, so what are the terrestrial people who are pioneers going to the world of Azeroth for? The purpose of the Earth Star Pioneer is mainly twofold, the first is to live in the dim underground in reality and come to the world of Azeroth because it is boring, and the second is to mine and sell for money. The first purpose is easy to understand, after the cataclysm on the planet, all industries were destroyed, those who were lucky enough to survive were unemployed, and there were not many entertainment projects in the dim underground, and at the same time, there was a free food "elixir" hanging for their lives, so those who met the conditions to be the pioneers of the world of Azeroth came to the world of Azeroth. The second purpose is more strange, some high-level metal minerals in the world of Azeroth seem to contain some secrets that are not known to the terrestrial people and seem to be very valuable, but I don't know for what reason only intelligent life of a civilization of the level of the terrestrial people can enter the world of Azeroth by controlling another body, so there are often mysterious characters who appear in various parts of the world of Azeroth to buy these metal minerals for the boss behind them, Finding ore to sell to mysterious agents has also become a way for terrestrial people to earn interstellar foreign exchange.

When Yang Yi contacted the fish-man lord again, it was early in the morning in the world of Azeroth, and the fish-people in Ratchet Village had just woken up one after another. Yesterday, a miniature version of a simple fish-man hut was built in the village as a temporary storage warehouse for food, and each of the fish-men who woke up grabbed a few handfuls of purple seaweed from yesterday in the temporary warehouse for breakfast.

"Ask the lord to arrange the mission."

After filling his stomach, the old blind man surrounded the fishmen, and the fishmen all lowered their heads and waited for Yang Yi's arrangement. The fishmen usually don't talk much about etiquette, and when they saw Yang Yi, the village chief, they just lowered their heads when they spoke.

Yang Yi already knew it in his heart, so he said loudly: "The three fish-man hunters are responsible for finding food sources, don't rush to collect food and bring it back, first search the area of Ratchet Bay close to my fish-man village, and write down those places where edible seaweed and sea mussels grow intensively." ”

"The fish-man laborers with the skills of collecting herbs are responsible for collecting thorn algae, and the rest is not taken care of."

"Fish-man laborers with logging skills take a logging axe to cut down trees, and the timber is first provided for the construction of the village's fish-man hut, and the surplus is piled up in front of the ruins of the dock. Remember not to cut down the coconut tree, but to wait for the coconut to ripen. ”

"The village still needs to continue to build fish-man huts, and it will be necessary to maintain the progress of building two fish-man huts a day for a period of time in the future."

"The rest of the people are arranged to collect seaweed or catch fish as needed."

Yang Yi issued orders one by one, which is also a fixed arrangement for these fishmen for a period of time in the future.

The fish-men went their separate ways, and the old blind man and the six fish-men in the fish-man village began to prepare for the construction of the third fish-man hut, in addition to the fish-man beach walker Brak and the fish-man tide catcher Slark remained in the village. The Fish-Man Beach Walker and the Fish-Man Tide Walker are the fighting professions of the Fish-Man Clan, and they are fish-people with social status, so it is not okay to let them go to find food or do hard work and other things that do not conform to their status, and Yang Yi also needs the two of them to stay to protect the safety of the village.

Yang Yi came to the old blind eye who was in charge of building the fish-man hut, and he wanted to discuss with the old blind eye about planting seaweed in the sea and growing grains on the ground. The attribute information of the old blind has no planting life occupation and no planting-related skills, but there is an old man in the family, and the old blind knows a lot about the fish-man society and has the expertise of "natural knowledge (b)", so it is not harmful for Yang Yi, who does not know anything about breeding seaweed, to ask the old blind a lot.

Old Blind is also a combat professional, so when building the Fishman Hut, it is not his turn to do coolies, he just needs to open his mouth, stretch out his hand, and give some pointers on the side, so he also has free time.

"The master plans to start seaweed farming as soon as he finds out the situation in the nearby bay waters, and even the fishmen in the village who don't have the relevant seaweed farming technology and skills will have to try it first, which is very necessary for the long-term development of our Ratchet Village."

"The lord is wise, the food problem is very important, and it is time to prepare early." The old blind man said respectfully.

"Wise? As a lord, of course, you have to be wise. Suddenly hearing the old blind man praise himself for his wisdom, Yang Yi's heart couldn't help but feel fluttering, this is the first time the old blind man praised himself, these fish people are stunned and don't even know how to flatter, it is not easy to get such a praise.

"Do you know what you need to do to prepare or what to pay attention to when cultivating seaweed?" After Yang Yi stabilized his mind, he quickly got the topic back.

"Well...... "Cultivating different kinds of seaweed has different requirements for sunlight, temperature, sea flow, depth, and the length of time it will be exposed to the surface after low tide, etc., which are not understandable to ordinary fishmen." ”

The old blind man was stunned as soon as he said a word to Yang Yi, this is too professional, not to mention a fish man, even most humans can't understand so many doorways.

"It's okay, the master has an idea." Yang Yi patted his chest and said.

"The lord is wise." The old blind man praised him again, and then he continued: "Before cultivating seaweed, you must first remove other organisms from the reef, throw rocks, and in some cases, lay shells on the reef. ”

"Shells? Okay, let's start sending people to collect shells from now on. Yang Yi listened strangely, but had no doubt and wrote it down. Is there anything else besides? ”

"And collect the seaweed seeds beforehand," said the old blind eye, "and then ...... Then you can probably send someone to guard the farm. ”

That's it? It is worthy of the extensive breeding method of the fishmen, but it is also simple and good, otherwise the heads of these fishmen will not be able to turn around.

"By the way, how long does it take to harvest farmed seaweed?" Yang Yi thought of a key question.

"Different species of seaweed take different times to grow, from as little as two months to as long as six months or even a year." The old blind man replied.

"Okay, send someone to prepare well in the next few days, and start cultivating seaweed after learning about the situation in the nearby bay." Yang Yi instructed the old blind eye. Yang Yi regards seaweed as one of the main and stable food sources in the future of Fishman Village, so in order to develop in the long run, seaweed will have to wait for a long time.

"By the way, it's really impossible for the fish-man to farm?" The seaweed matter came to an end, and Yang Yi began to care about farming.

"Farming is possible, it's not that we fishmen can't farm, but we rarely grow food on land, so it's hard to find fishmen who can farm." The old blind said.

"You don't know how to farm?"

"I don't understand."

There is no fishman who knows how to farm, this is indeed the reality of the fish-man village, and the farmer should be a very basic life occupation, but at present, there is not a single fish-man farmer in the entire fish-man village. Although Ratchet City is a harbor, there are still some scattered fields around, Yang Yi originally thought that even if the farmers who couldn't find farming skills among the fishmen could not find farming skills, they would directly cultivate the fields, after all, in his heart, the development of the village and the word "farming" were inseparable, and he also knew that the human race, as pioneers, had begun to cultivate food in the world of Azeroth. But now not only does he not know how to farm, but even the fishmen in the village, including the old blind man, do not know anything, which is difficult to do.

"Now there is not enough manpower in the village, so the farming matter will be put on hold for a while, and now we are preparing for the cultivation of seaweed, and as much as possible to cut down some wood, which is useful to the master."

"Yes, my lord." Although the old blind didn't know what the use of logging more trees was, he still did it unconditionally.

Yang Yi had actually been thinking about the construction drawings of the Class 1 wharf in his heart, after all, this was the only building with an architectural effect other than the town center, and it would be beneficial for Fishman Village to build it as soon as possible. Yang Yi wants to build the dock as soon as possible, but there is not only a lack of fishmen with logging skills in the Ratchet Village, but also a lack of logging tools.
