Under the propaganda of the village chief of Rice, the villagers knew that Count Rose's army would soon come over, and there was not much time left for everyone, so everyone worked very hard.

Hu Ye also discussed with Hammond to transfer some miners to help harvest the wheat first. After all, amphibole is in the mine, and it is the same when it is mined. And the wheat must be harvested before the arrival of the army of Count Rus, otherwise it will be plagued by the enemy, and every second must be made.

Of course, Hammond fully supported Hu Ye's orders. A group of miners, who had been farmers before, were selected to help the villagers harvest the wheat.

The miners were all amazed when they saw the wheat in the village. They all said that they had never known that the wheat harvest could be so good, and the heavy ears of wheat made people happy when they looked at it.

The village chief of Rice smiled at these people's compliments, but did not tell them why the wheat harvest would be so good. In the old man's simple concept, this is the secret of the lord, of course, it can't be said casually.

However, Hu Ye felt that it didn't matter at all, this kind of knowledge was understood by everyone in the main world, even if the village chief of Rice didn't say it, it wouldn't be hidden for long under the attention of someone with a heart, and it would soon spread throughout the continent.

Therefore, Hu Ye generously told everyone the method of increasing wheat yield, so that everyone's impression of this lord was much better, and they thanked him one after another.

"My lord, did you really tell them our secret?" When the village chief of Rice learned about this, he said with a face full of regret: "This is the secret of the village, alas......"

"Village chief, don't be so stingy!" Hu Ye said with a smile: "You have to take a long-term view, think about it, what is the biggest obstacle to the development of our village at the moment?" ”

The village chief of Rice thought for a while and said, "There is still a shortage of food!" ”

"That's right!" Hu Ye gave the village chief of Rice an analysis: "Think about it, if the nearby farmers all learn our method, the wheat harvest will be better, and what will happen to the extra grain?" Sell it to us! In this way, there will be more and more food in the village, which can feed more people and make the village develop better, right? ”

The old village chief suddenly realized: "That's right, well, I'm going to tell you here, if those workers come to ask, I will tell them these methods carefully." ”

Hu Ye smiled: "You are right to think so, just our Baishi Village is nothing, and it is also good for us to make this area of wealth in the vicinity." ”

Village Chief Rice said thoughtfully, "What you said seems to have some truth, but ...... The advantages of our village must not be lost, otherwise no one will come to work. ”

Hu Ye said confidently: "Don't worry, this time I will bring some new fertilizer, which is not only more convenient to use, but also can greatly increase the yield, which is better than manure!" Go back and find a few clever villagers, and I'll tell them how to use them. ”

The old village chief smiled and said, "This is really good, our village must be the most powerful in this area." ”

Hu Ye said with a smile: "Don't worry, now we have a bumper harvest of wheat, and we have raised fish, and we can raise more livestock in the future, cattle, horses, and sheep, and everyone will not only be able to eat enough, but also eat meat often, that is the goal I pursue." ”

The ambition of the village chief was also hooked up by Hu Ye's words, and he nodded vigorously and said: "Okay, I will spare this old bone, and I must make our village as good as you say!" ”

With the help of the miners, the wheat harvest went smoothly and at a speed far beyond Hu Ye's expectations.

In just one week, all the wheat was harvested and dried on the concrete flat outside the village. Everyone looked at so much wheat, all of them were smiling, and they were all thinking that they would not have to go hungry for the next year, which was great news for everyone.

This flat land was originally a training ground for the militia, but at the moment, of course, drying food is the most important, so the young men of the militia team have to find another training ground.

Even so, the militiamen's enthusiasm for training has not diminished in the slightest. They know that they are the backbone of the defense of the village, and if they want to live a good life like this, they must train hard to defend the village from anyone.

Especially the damned Count Rose, who actually wanted to lead troops to attack the village. Everyone has only had a good life for a few days, and this guy wants to wreak havoc, which is really hateful. The militiamen said that as long as Count Rose dared to come, they would beat him to the ground!

In the past, everyone didn't have such courage, and the thought of fighting the lord's regular army would definitely be terribly scared. After all, before Hu Ye arrived, the villagers would suffer heavy losses when fighting the gnolls.

However, now that the lord has brought a new weapon, there is no need to be afraid of any Count Ross. Many militiamen have seen the power of that weapon, and if they hide behind the wall and flick their fingers, both soldiers and knights will be unlucky! With such a weapon, everyone is naturally full of confidence and is waiting for the army of Count Ross to come.

Hu Ye still put Brown Knight and Jeremy in charge of training the gunners and militia, while he himself took some of the villagers to deal with the fish caught from the fishpond.

World of Warcraft is a bit different from the Overworld, and many creatures grow very quickly. Take the fish in the fish pond as an example, they have grown fat and big in just a few months, and many of them are almost as long as adults, at least several times larger!

So how to preserve so many fish has become a tricky problem. There are no refrigerators or refrigerators in this world, and even if everyone is allowed to eat freely, many fish will spoil before they can be eaten.

This is where the experience of the Overworld comes in handy, and Hu Ye teaches the villagers to preserve the fish by smoking and salting.

Smoking is to cut the fish into pieces, put them in a makeshift smoking room, and use the smoke at a low temperature to slowly force out the moisture in the fish. The smoke not only kills bacteria, but also forms a protective layer on the surface of the fish, and the water in the fish is reduced, so it can prevent bacteria from entering.

After smoking, the fish can be stored for at least a month, which is already remarkable in this world.

As for marinating, it's even simpler, just rub enough salt on both sides of the cut fish and then drop it to dry. Salted fish can last longer than smoked fish, and as long as it does not touch the water, it can be eaten after three months.

But of course, when the village chief of Rice saw Hu Ye leading the villagers to pickle salted fish, he couldn't help but be surprised.
