Chapter 42: Food Sources for the Residents of Black Rock City!
As soon as he walked into the medicinal herb shop, Tang Zhen smelled an extremely special smell. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Tang Zhen had smelled this smell before, and it was inside a temple. It is said that the fragrance comes from a precious spice, which is produced in rare quantities, and sometimes a piece of the best spice can even be exchanged for a villa!
Taking a deep breath, Tang Zhen felt it, the taste of this spice was indeed good.
Tang Zhen turned his head following the smell, and saw a small incense burner on a simple stone table, and the smell was emanating from this incense burner.
Seeing Tang Zhen's gaze fall on this incense burner, a delicate girl wearing light green leather armor came over and said to Tang Zhen with a smile: "This is the spice that our store just shipped from the Xiangdu Loucheng thousands of miles away, the taste is sweet and pure, it can refresh the mind, and if you use it for a long time, it is also very helpful for cultivation!" ”
Compared with the wanderers outside, the girl's face could not see a trace of wind and frost and sorrow, and her clothes were also very clean and decent.
After Tang Zhen glanced at the girl, he nodded lightly and asked about the price.
Perhaps because of the high production in the other world, the price of this spice is not very expensive, Tang Zhen did not hesitate, and took out the brain beads and bought a pack.
After putting the spice away, Tang Zhen looked at the other goods in the medicinal herb shop.
After looking around, Tang Zhen found that there were many kinds of medicinal materials here, but he almost didn't know them, which made his original plan to buy a few hundred-year-old ginseng first.
Tang Zhen also discovered that many of the medicinal materials in the medicinal herb shop were collected from monsters.
Bone marrow, gallbladder, blood meal, the raw materials of these herbs all come from monsters in the wilderness.
In the counter inlaid with similar glass items on the surface, there were all kinds of finished medicines, and after Tang Zhen inquired about the efficacy, he bought a few bottles at random and prepared to take them back for experiments.
Walking out of the medicinal herb shop, Tang Zhen was about to find an opportunity to sneak into the interior of the building, but he accidentally found that dozens of people were driving a team of carriages towards the door of an underground parking lot.
Tang Zhen's heart moved, found a hidden position to open the quantum stealth light curtain, and walked over unhurriedly.
This underground entrance was very spacious, and the position at the entrance was guarded by several Black Rock City monks, Tang Zhen tried his best to light his movements, and walked over quietly.
After Tang Zhen entered, one of the Black Rock City monks in charge of guarding looked at the underground passage with some confusion, he seemed to hear a slight strange noise coming from the passage just now.
After making sure there were no anomalies in the passage, the monk turned his head away and ignored it.
After Tang Zhen walked along the underground passage for nearly 100 meters, he found that he was in a huge underground space, and its scale seemed to be similar to the square on the ground.
Perhaps this underground space is built under the square.
He carefully observed the walls around this underground space, and found that it was extremely strong, and it was indeed worthy of the building built by the great power of heaven and earth.
This underground space is artificially divided into countless small areas, which are filled with earth after being built with stones.
Pouring a layer of viscous liquid with a faint odor on the surface of these soils, Tang Zhen glanced at it and found that this was the case in every small area.
Tang Zhen was quite curious when he saw this, and secretly guessed what would be under this soil?
Taking out a sapper shovel from the space, Tang Zhen walked to a dark corner and dug it down. After digging only two shovels, he felt the sapper shovel hit something.
Forcefully bringing up the sapper shovel, Tang Zhen saw a white organism the size of a human head, dug out by the sapper shovel.
Tang Zhen cautiously stepped forward to observe, only to find that this thing turned out to be a king-sized 'potato'!
Whether this thing is a potato or not, even Tang Zhen can't say for sure, but looking at its appearance, it does look like a potato.
It's just that such a large potato, Tang Zhen has never heard of it.
Tang Zhen dug a few more shovels and found that under the soil layer, there were all kinds of stuff densely packed.
Tang Zhen estimated that this thing was the main food for the residents of Loucheng, looking at the scale of this basement, and then looking at the size of this potato, God knows how many tons of output will be produced once harvested!
If the potatoes can be harvested continuously, the residents of the building will not have to worry about the source of food.
Tang Zhen had wondered before, if the residents of Loucheng did not reclaim the land to sow grain, what did they eat every day?
Now he knows that his feelings are to eat this giant potato!
Dig out two potatoes and put them in the storage space, he wants to take them back and try to plant them, if successful, then it will definitely fill the stomachs of many people.
However, Tang Zhen guessed that the chance of success in this matter was probably very small, if this potato was so easy to cultivate, how could there be so many hungry wanderers in the wilderness?
At this moment, the entire underground space was empty, and it was impossible for those people and carriages to disappear for no reason, so Tang Zhen guessed that there were other spaces here.
After looking carefully for a while, Tang Zhen really found that in a dark corner, another sloping downward passage appeared.
"Is there another floor of space under this underground plaza?"
Tang Zhen thought as he walked into the passage.
A few minutes later, another underground space of the same size appeared in front of him, and like the plaza above, it was also planted with the same huge potatoes.
It's just that in this space, only a few residents are dumping the sticky fertilizer on the dirt, and the carriage is still nowhere to be seen.
After Tang Zhen observed for a while, he found another entrance that extended underground.
Without hesitation, he walked in, Tang Zhen wanted to see how many layers of underground space there were in this Black Rock City?
After walking out of the passage this time, Tang Zhen did not see the spectacular potato planting scene, but saw patches of "mushrooms"!
Well, Tang Zhen didn't know how to describe the scene he saw, but these things in front of him were more than two meters tall and more than fifty centimeters in diameter, and the umbrella cover was as big as a roof, and they were indeed exactly the same as mushrooms!
These giant mushrooms are clustered next to each other, and there are such huge mushrooms everywhere except for a three-meter-wide road.
Among these mushrooms, the inhabitants are chopping them down and dividing them into small pieces and putting them into large baskets.
It seems that this mushroom is also one of the foods of the residents of Loucheng, which can just adjust the monotonous taste of potatoes, or come to a pot of potato and mushroom soup, which should taste good!
Tang Zhen thought about it, and actually felt a little hungry.
After shaking his head and throwing this thought out of his mind, Tang Zhen also dug up a piece of mushroom meat and put it in the storage space.
After making your way through the huge mushroom jungle, another underground passage appears.
Tang Zhen was no longer surprised, but walked forward again.
Compared with the upper layers, as soon as Tang Zhen walked into the passage of this floor, he smelled a fishy smell, which was very similar to the smell of fertilizer poured on top of the big potatoes.
At the same time, there was a sound of conversation and the sound of horses' hooves on the ground, which was the carriage team that Tang Zhen had been chasing before.
Tang Zhen, who walked out of the passage, observed intently, and soon he was a little surprised to find that in the underground square on this floor, there were also many pool-shaped isolation areas.
In these isolated pools of water, a huge white flesh worm measuring two meters long was slowly wriggling.
They soak in the liquid that fertilizes the big potatoes and devour the feed that the residents of the building scooped out of the buckets of wagon water.
Tang Zhen roughly estimated that the number of meat insects cultivated in this underground square would be at least thousands!
Could it be that this big white worm with meat is the source of meat for the residents of Loucheng?
