Chapter 12 The Food Problem
It was already dark, and Yang Yi rushed back to Ratchet Village with eleven fishmen dressed in stars and moons. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
A second fish-man hut has been built, and the three fish-men who were collecting seaweed have 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 were very excited 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 come out at night, the habits of the fish-people are similar to those of the ancient people who lived at sunrise, and the sun in the sky determines the schedule of their activities.
It was dark, the fish people went to rest, and the old blind man 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, a green algae with roots and leaves, and it seemed that someone had carefully dug up the whole algae.
"What is this?" Yang Yi looked at the algae information suspiciously.
[Name]: Thorn algae (common)
[Grade]: Level 1 herb
[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 level 1 medicine picker, and he was arranged to go with the fish-man hunter to collect edible seaweed during the day.
"Yes." The fish-man laborer replied that most of the fish-men spoke briefly.
Because there was no shovel for collecting herbs, the fish-men were slightly damaged when they collected the thorn algae.
"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 this algae is not easy to collect because it grows in water, and it is also a herb that is often used by alchemists, so it is quite economical.
"I don't know." The fish-man laborer answered truthfully.
He was 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 this day, Yang Yi was not idle, but he experienced a sense of fulfillment that he had not 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 has 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 exiting, 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.
It's just that he has long been accustomed to the feeling of being hungry in the past two years, not to mention that he only has one synthetic food ball now, and he will be hungry after eating 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 a three-day share of the "elixir" two days ago, so he had to wait a day to receive it again.
Yang Yi felt food and clothing under the stomach of the "elixir", but it was still dim in reality, and Yang Yi moved a little. After the body lay down on the earthen bed. Above.
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 all the time, the most of which are the various information and rumors about how to make money in the world of Azeroth.
Is the world of Azeroth a reality? What are the terrestrial people who are pioneers going to the world of Azeroth for?
As far as Yang Yi knew, there were two main purposes for the Earth Star Pioneers.
The first is that it is boring to live in the dim underground in reality, and the second is to make money.
The first purpose is easy to understand, after the cataclysm on the planet, most of the industries were destroyed, and those who were lucky enough to survive were also lost their jobs and had nothing to do. There is not much entertainment in the dim underground, and at the same time, there is a free food "elixir" hanging for life, so those who are eligible to come to the world of Azeroth to be the pioneers of the world of Azeroth have come to the world of Azeroth.
The second purpose is rather strange, there is no direct channel between the world of Azeroth and the planet, but the gold coins of the world of Azeroth can be directly exchanged for some things on the planet, so the pioneers are also trying to earn gold.
When Yang Yi contacted the Fishman Lord again, it was early in the morning in the world of Azeroth.
The sun had just risen, and the fish-people in Ratchet Village had 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 after waking up, each fish-man grabbed two handfuls of purple seaweed collected 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: "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 near my fish-man village, and write down the 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."
"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 in the fish-man village began to prepare for the construction of the third fish-man hut with six fish-men.
Brak the Fishman Beach Walker and Slark the Fishman Tide Walker are still in the village.
The Fish-Man Beach Walker and the Fish-Man Tide Walker are the combat professionals of the Fish-Man Clan, and Yang Yi also needs the two of them to stay behind 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.
There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, the old blind knows a lot about the fish-man society, and also understands the knowledge of nature, so it is not harmful for Yang Yi, who does not know anything about breeding seaweed, to ask the old blind for advice.
The old blind eye is the deputy village chief, so when he was building the fishman hut, it was not his turn to do coolies, he just opened his mouth, stretched out his hand, and gave some pointers, so he also had free time.
"The owner plans to find out the situation in the nearby bay waters first, and then start seaweed cultivation immediately, 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.
"Do you know what you need to do to prepare or what to pay attention to when cultivating seaweed?" Yang Yi asked.
"Well...... "Farming different species of seaweed has a great impact on sunlight, temperature, sea flow, depth, and exposure at low tide. There are different requirements for the length of time on the surface and so on. ”
The old blind man was stunned as soon as he said a word, didn't he just want to grow some seaweed as rations, this is too professional. Not to mention the fish-people, even most humans can't figure out so many doorways.
"Lord, we fishmen usually hunt or gather for a living, and even if they are cultivated, they are extensive, so the old blind eye doesn't know much about growing seaweed." The old blind man could not give the answer that the lord wanted, and bowed his head in shame.
"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 heartily again, and then he continued: "The old blind eye knows that before cultivating seaweed, it is necessary to remove other organisms from the reef, put stones, and some of them also 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? ”
"We also collect the seaweed seeds in advance and scatter them on the shells." "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?"
"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 are no fish-people who know how to farm, this is indeed the reality of the fish-man village. Farming should be a very basic life occupation, but at present, there is not a single fishman 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, 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 try to cultivate food in the world of Azeroth.
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, wait for the farming thing first, 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 wanted to build the wharf as soon as possible, but there was a lack of fishmen with logging skills in the village of Ratchet Tooth, but also a lack of logging tools.
Fishmen who lack logging skills can find a few more fishmen to cut wood with low efficiency, but there is nothing they can do without logging tools, and they can't let the fishmen in the village gnaw with the teeth in their mouths.
