Chapter 109: Growing ragweed and raising mushrooms

A junior fish-man chef named Spoon joins Ratchet Village, where the inn is currently requisitioned by the Slark as an alchemy laboratory, and Spoon boredly sets a fire in the square in the center of town.

Senior construction worker Luke is a notoriously gluttonous in the village of Ratchet, and he is leisurely wandering around with a large sea fish, which he has to show off with his food every day in order to show off his superior benefits. When Luke came to the square, he immediately ran over to the square when he saw a fishman making a fire.

It was not school time, a group of small fishmen were playing near the square, and these little fishmen soon found out that there were fishmen making a fire in the village, and the little fishmen had long been familiar with the flames, but the fishmen had never seen a fire, so they were curious about everything and immediately surrounded them.

"You don't hate fire?" Spoon asked in surprise when he saw many fishmen surrounding him without any scruples.

"Hate fire? How so? Fire is a good thing. Luke said with a dripping saliva.

"The fire is good, you can bake something to eat."

"The barbecue is delicious."

"The grilled fish is delicious."

"Grilled meat is better than grilled fish."

……

The little fishmen on the lookers also said that fire was a good thing, and there were even small fishmen who argued about whether the barbecued meat was delicious or the grilled fish was delicious. Not only Luke, but several small fishmen were already drooling just by looking at the fire.

"It's good that you don't hate fire, the spoon will grill the fish." Spoon said excitedly.

"Good grilled fish, I want so much grilled fish."

"I'm going to grill fish too, it's not good to grill meat."

The little fish-men who were arguing just now immediately all stood on the side of "grilled fish is good".

"Spoonful? Do you have a name? Did the village get it for you? Luke asked warily.

"It wasn't the village chief who took it, it was old Tom who took it for the soup spoon." The spoon replied earnestly.

"I see, my name is Luke Ratchet Builder, and the name was taken by the village chief himself!" Luke said proudly.

"It was taken by the village chief."

"Luke is amazing."

A few of the little fishmen couldn't help but praise each other, and Luke raised his head even more when he heard this.

"The name chosen by the village chief himself is really powerful." Spoon agreed, after all, he was also born in Fishman Village, so it was not easy to know how difficult it was for Fishman to have a name.

"The spoon will make delicious small fish and herbal baked eggs, but there will be no small eggs and fresh small fish." Spoon regretted that he had just started a fire out of boredom at first.

"What's a little egg?"

"The teacher said that eggs are laid by birds."

"Velociraptors lay eggs, too."

"There are a lot of small fish in the sea."

The little fishmen immediately became excited when they heard about it, but the food in the village was uniformly distributed, and they didn't have any small fish and eggs with them at this time.

"There are a lot of fresh small fish in the village warehouse, and whoever goes and quietly brings a few of them, the grilled fish tastes very good." Luke suddenly opened his mouth to instigate the little fish.

Little fishmen, you look at me, I look at you, and finally a few bold little fishmen ran in the direction of the warehouse. In normal times, the little fishmen in the village like to trick or treat everywhere, and some gluttonous little fishmen often steal and eat small fish, mussel meat and other foods in the village, and these little fishmen have long been familiar with this.

It didn't take long for a few small fishmen to come back, but they were caught in this blatant fish-stealing operation, and it was Yang Yi, the village chief of Ratchet Village, who caught this group of habitual thieves.

Hearing these little fishmen who stole fish say that the soup spoon wanted to grill fish, Yang Yi, the village chief of the fishman village, immediately abused his power and twisted a few strings of fresh small fish directly from the warehouse.

"Hello village chief." The fish people immediately saluted Yang Yi, especially the little fish people who had studied in school, the posture of the salute was like a soldier meeting a chief, of course, these were originally evil Yang Yi asked the school teacher to teach these little fish people.

"You're okay too." Yang Yi smiled and said, "Soup spoon, I heard that you can grill fish?" ”

"Village Chief, the soup spoon will make delicious small fish and herbal baked eggs." Spoon replied.

"Delicious small fish and herbal baked eggs, as soon as you hear it, it's food cooked with skill. It must be delicious to dare to name it delicious little fish, but who came up with the name of this herbal baked egg? Sounds a notch off. Yang Yi fantasized about the taste of delicious small fish, and he immediately ruled out the herb baked egg.

A few strings of fresh fish were handed to the spoon, who immediately took a knife from his body and began to handle the fish with great skill.

"Look at the speed of people's hands when handling fish, worthy of a professional chef, the delicious small fish grilled by such a chef must be delicious." Yang Yi couldn't help but swallow his saliva as he watched the soup spoon handle the small fish.

The small fish did not need to be grilled for long, and soon the first delicious small fish that was grilled was delivered to Yang Yi, the village chief.

"Whew." Yang Yi unceremoniously opened the fish's mouth and took a big bite under the eyes of the fishmen.

"Fragrant, tender, delicious, worthy of a delicious little fish." Yang Yi was full of praise.

No condiments are added during the whole grilling process, and the raw fresh fish is grilled by a spoon on the outside and tender on the inside, and at the same time, the taste buds are stimulated by the hint of sea salt.

A small fish was just enough to stuff the teeth, so the second grilled delicious small fish also entered Yang Yi's big fish mouth, the third and fourth...... The tenth delicious small fish were all ruthlessly occupied by Yang Yi, the village head.

After eating ten delicious small fish, Yang Yi stopped unfinished in the endless begging eyes of the fish people. "Ahem, the master of the skill has tasted it briefly, this delicious little fish is indeed good, you can eat the rest."

The little fish-man cheered, and Luke was moved to tears.

"The food cooked by the chef is just different, and it seems that the inn's business is saved. I'd like to see how the pioneers used those botched barbecues to lure the fish-people in the village. Yang Yi thought happily, in fact, he was even happier that as the village head, he would have a good mouth in the future.

Yang Yi was still reluctant to leave after eating ten delicious small fish, and the other small fish people all looked at him vigilantly, the village chief, and they were all worried about the fate of the small fish that was being grilled.

At this time, the old blind man came over.

"Lord, enough ragweed and ragweed seeds have been collected, and the farmland can start growing ragweed." Old Blind Report.

"That's right." Yang Yi reluctantly glanced at the small fish that was being grilled, but it was still important to get down to business. "Let's go, let's take a look."

Yang Yi and Old Blind Eye came to the east of Ratchet Village, and the grassland to the east was originally farmland cultivated by goblins. At that time, the goblins were also very thoughtful in opening up farmland in this change, facing the western part of the Kokar centaur territory, and if the crops were planted in the west, they would only become the target of those centaur raiders who came and went, and it would be much safer to plant them in the inaccessible east.

Yang Yi didn't consider being as comprehensive as a goblin when he chose to open a farmland, but he used his simplest method to get the right answer as a goblin. That is, he believes that the goblins know more about the world than he thinks, and knows the world better than him, so the newly built farmland is reopened on the basis of the abandoned farmland of the goblins.

Not far from the eastern wall of Ratchet Village, eight farmlands are located side by side, and a Grade 1 fence has been built on the perimeter of the farmland. Although the wooden fence of this circle does not stop the boar people from invading the farmland, it is enough to stop the nearby beasts such as chocobos, zebras and velociraptors.

More than a dozen fish-men are busy in the fields, carrying baskets or bags containing ragweed or ragweed seeds.

Yang Yi walked over, and he took a few ragweed plants to observe.

Ragweed is a green plant with a strong root system and above-ground plants, and this plant grows fiercely and can quickly overwhelm its water and fertilizer plants.

"Farmland can't be planted randomly, and it should be guided by the owner." Yang Yi began to instruct the fishmen in the village to plant ragweed, although he had never farmed, but as a human he had never eaten pork and seen pigs run.

"I want to dig a small pit to bury the roots of ragweed and the seeds of ragweed."

"It should be planted according to a certain rule, and the ragweed should be lined up like this, and it should be straight. There should be an appropriate interval in the middle of each row, this interval is ......, and the interval is so long. Yang Yi gestured with his hand and drew a horizontal line in the farmland as a marker.

"From now on, we will come to water every morning and evening, not seawater, but water from the Nushui River."

"What else? By the way, there is also fertilization, do you know fertilization? It's just to sprinkle fish-man feces on the farmland, but it doesn't take much. ”

……

Yang Yi taught more than a dozen fishmen the knowledge of farming, but in fact, he himself did not know anything about farming, he could only try to teach the knowledge of farming to the fishmen in the village, fortunately, now the fishmen are planting ragweed that the farmers can't get rid of, otherwise not to mention the harvest, it is God's blessing to be able to use the grain as a species.

"Lord, ragweed has begun to be planted, and wild thorny root grass can also be purchased by merchants, but there are no fishmen in the village who know how to grow mushrooms." The old blind said.

"Those steel-maned boar people can grow mushrooms by pulling a rotten haystack, and they don't believe that they can't do it when they get to the fish people, so if they can't do it, they will catch a few wild boar people who know how to grow mushrooms and come back as slaves to grow mushrooms." Yang Yi had a plan.
